DIRECTIVE 2005/64/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 26 October 2005

on the type-approval of motor vehicles with regard to their reusability, recyclability and
recoverability and amending Council Directive 70/156/EEC

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE
EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,

(3) This Directive constitutes one of the separate directives
within the framework of the Community whole vehicle
type-approval system established by Council Directive
70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of
the laws of the Member States relating to the type-
approval of motor vehicles and their trailers (4).

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and
Social Committee (1),

Acting in accordance with the procedure referred to in
Article 251 of the Treaty (2),

(4) That whole vehicle type-approval system is currently
compulsory for vehicles belonging to category M1 and
will be extended, in the near future, to all categories of
vehicle. It is therefore necessary to include in the whole
vehicle type-approval system those measures concerning
the
and recoverability of
vehicles.

Whereas:

(5) Accordingly, it is necessary to lay down provisions to
take into account the fact that N1 vehicles are not yet
covered by the whole vehicle type-approval system.

(1)

the
In accordance with Directive 2000/53/EC of
European Parliament and of the Council of 18 September
2000 on end-of-life vehicles (3), appropriate provisions
should be laid down to ensure that
type-approved
vehicles belonging to category M1, and those belonging
to category N1, may be put on the market only if they are
reusable and/or recyclable to a minimum of 85 % by
mass and are reusable and/or recoverable to a minimum
of 95 % by mass.

(6) The manufacturer should make available to the approval
information as regards
authority all relevant technical
constituent materials and their respective masses in order
to permit verification of the manufacturer's calculations
in accordance with the standard ISO 22628: 2002.

(2) Reusability of

and
recoverability of materials constitute a substantial part

of
Therefore vehicle manufacturers and their
suppliers
should be requested to include those aspects at the
earliest stages of the development of new vehicles, in
order to facilitate the treatment of vehicles at the time
when they reach the end of their life.

(7) The manufacturer's calculations can be properly validated
at the time of the vehicle type-approval only if the
manufacturer has put in place satisfactory arrangements
and procedures to manage all information he receives
from his suppliers. Before any type-approval can be
the competent body should carry out a
granted,

those arrangements and
procedures and should issue a certificate indicating that
they are satisfactory.

(8) The relevance of the different inputs in the calculations of
the recyclability and recoverability rates has to be
assessed in accordance with the processes for treatment
of end-of-life vehicles. The manufacturer should therefore
recommend a strategy for the treatment of end-of-life
to the
vehicles and should provide details
competent body. This strategy should be based on
proven technologies, which are available or in develop-
ment at the time of applying for the vehicle approval.

thereof

(9)

Special-purpose vehicles are designed to perform a
specific function and require special bodywork arrange-
ments which are not entirely under the control of the
manufacturer. Consequently, the recyclability and reco-
verability rates cannot be calculated properly. Those
vehicles should therefore be excluded from the require-
ments concerning calculation.

(10)

Incomplete vehicles constitute a significant proportion of
N1 vehicles. The manufacturer of the base vehicle is not
in a position to calculate the recyclability and recover-
ability rates for completed vehicles because the data
concerning the later stages of construction are not
available at the design stage of the base vehicles. It is
therefore appropriate to require only the base vehicle to
comply with this Directive.

(11) The market shares of vehicles produced in small series
are very limited, so that there will be little benefit to the
environment if they have to comply with this Directive. It
is therefore appropriate to exclude them from certain
provisions of this Directive.

(12)

In accordance with Directive 2000/53/EC, appropriate
measures should be taken, in the interests of road safety
and protection of the environment, to prevent the reuse
of certain component parts which have been removed
from end-of-life vehicles. Such measures should be
restricted to the reuse of parts in the construction of
new vehicles.

(14) The measures necessary for the adaptation to scientific
and technical progress of
this Directive should be
adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure
provided for in Article 13(3) of Directive 70/156/EEC.

(15) Since the objective of this Directive, namely to minimise
the impact of end-of-life vehicles on the environment by
requiring that vehicles be designed from the conception
phase with a view to facilitating reuse, recycling and
recovery, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member
States acting alone and can, therefore, by reason of the
scale of the action, be better achieved at Community
level, the Community may adopt measures,
in accor-
dance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in
Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle
of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive
does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve
this objective.

(16)

In accordance with paragraph 34 of the Interinstitutional
Agreement on better law-making (1), Member States will
be encouraged to draw up, for themselves and in the
interest of the Community, their own tables which will,
as far as possible, illustrate the correlation between this
Directive and the transposition measures and to make
them public,

HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

Subject matter

This Directive lays down the administrative and technical
provisions for
the type-approval of vehicles covered by
