DIRECTIVE 2007/46/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 5 September 2007

establishing a framework for the approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles

(Framework Directive)

(Text with EEA relevance)

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,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee [(1)](#ntr1-L_2007263EN.01000101-E0001),

Acting in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 251 of the Treaty [(2)](#ntr2-L_2007263EN.01000101-E0002),

Whereas:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (1) | 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 [(3)](#ntr3-L_2007263EN.01000101-E0003), has been substantially amended several times. Since further amendments are to be made, it should be recast in the interests of clarity. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (2) | For the purposes of the establishment and operation of the internal market of the Community, it is appropriate to replace the Member States’ approval systems with a Community approval procedure based on the principle of total harmonisation. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (3) | The technical requirements applicable to systems, components, separate technical units and vehicles should be harmonised and specified in regulatory acts. Those regulatory acts should primarily seek to ensure a high level of road safety, health protection, environmental protection, energy efficiency and protection against unauthorised use. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (4) | Council Directive 92/53/EEC of 18 June 1992 amending Directive 70/156/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers [(4)](#ntr4-L_2007263EN.01000101-E0004) limited application of the Community whole vehicle type-approval procedure to the vehicle category M1. However, in order to complete the internal market and to ensure that it functions properly, the scope of the present Directive should cover all categories of vehicles, enabling manufacturers to benefit from the advantages of the internal market by means of the Community type-approval. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (5) | In order to enable manufacturers to adapt to the new harmonised procedures, a sufficient lead-time should be allowed before Community vehicle type-approval becomes compulsory for vehicles belonging to categories other than M1 that are built in one stage. A longer lead-time is required for vehicles of categories other than M1 that require a multi-stage approval, since that procedure will involve body-builders, who will need to gain sufficient experience in that field so that the necessary procedures can be implemented properly. However, due to the importance of safety for vehicles of category M2 and M3, during the transitional period when national type approval is still valid in order to allow manufacturers to get experience with EC vehicle type approval, it is necessary that those vehicles comply with the technical requirements of the harmonised directives. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (6) | Until now, manufacturers who produce vehicles in small series have been partially excluded from the benefits of the internal market. Experience has shown that road safety and protection of the environment could be significantly improved if small series vehicles were totally integrated into the Community vehicle type-approval system, starting with category M1. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (7) | In order to prevent abuse, any simplified procedure for small series vehicles should be restricted to cases of very limited production; it is therefore necessary to define more precisely the concept of small series in terms of the number of vehicles produced. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (8) | It is important to lay down measures enabling vehicles to be approved on an individual basis, in order to allow sufficient flexibility in the multi-stage approval system; however, pending the establishment of harmonised, specific Community provisions, Member States should continue to be allowed to grant individual approvals in accordance with their national rules. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (9) | Pending application of the Community vehicle type-approval procedures to categories of vehicles other than M1, Member States should be allowed to continue to grant vehicle type-approvals on a national basis, and transitional provisions should be laid down accordingly. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (10) | The measures necessary for the implementation of this Directive should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission [(5)](#ntr5-L_2007263EN.01000101-E0005). |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (11) | By Council Decision 97/836/EC [(6)](#ntr6-L_2007263EN.01000101-E0006), the Community acceded to the Agreement of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe concerning the adoption of uniform technical prescriptions for wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts which can be fitted to and/or used on wheeled vehicles and the conditions for reciprocal recognition of approvals granted on the basis of these prescriptions (Revised 1958 Agreement).  Consequently, United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Regulations to which the Community accedes, in application of that Decision, and amendments to UNECE Regulations to which the Community has already acceded should be incorporated within the Community type-approval procedure either as requirements for EC vehicle type-approval, or as alternatives to existing Community law. In particular, where the Community decides, by means of a Council decision, that a UNECE Regulation shall become part of the EC vehicle type-approval procedure and replace existing Community law, the Commission should be empowered to make the necessary adaptations to this Directive. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive or to supplement it by the addition of new non-essential elements, they should be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (12) | For the purposes of better regulation and simplification and in order to avoid having to constantly update existing Community legislation on issues of technical specifications, it should be possible for this Directive or for separate directives and regulations to make references to existing international standards and regulations without reproducing them in the Community legal framework. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (13) | In order to ensure that the procedure for monitoring conformity of production, which is one of the cornerstones of the Community type-approval system, has been correctly implemented and functions properly, manufacturers should be regularly checked by the competent authority or by an appropriately qualified technical service appointed for that purpose. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (14) | The main objective of the legislation on the approval of vehicles is to ensure that new vehicles, components and separate technical units put on the market provide a high level of safety and environmental protection. This aim should not be impaired by the fitting of certain parts or equipment after vehicles have been placed on the market or have entered service. Thus, appropriate measures should be taken in order to make sure that parts or equipment which can be fitted to vehicles and which are capable of significantly impairing the functioning of systems that are essential in terms of safety or environmental protection, are subject to a prior control by an approval authority before they are offered for sale. These measures should consist of technical provisions concerning the requirements that those parts or equipment have to comply with. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (15) | These measures should only apply to a limited number of parts or equipment. The list of such parts or equipment and subsequent requirements should be established after having consulted stakeholders. In establishing the list, the Commission should consult stakeholders on the basis of a report and strive for a fair balance between the requirements of improving road safety and environmental protection, as well as the interests of consumers, manufacturers and distributors in preserving competition in the aftermarket. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (16) | The list of parts and equipment, the essential systems concerned as well as the testing and implementation measures should be determined in accordance with Decision 1999/468/EC. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive or to supplement it by the addition of new non-essential elements, they should be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of that Decision. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (17) | This Directive constitutes a set of specific safety requirements within the meaning of Article 1(2) of Directive 2001/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 December 2001 on general product safety [(7)](#ntr7-L_2007263EN.01000101-E0007), laying down specific requirements for protecting the health and safety of consumers. Therefore, it is important to establish provisions to ensure that, in case a vehicle presents a serious risk for consumers resulting from the application of this Directive or of the regulatory acts listed in Annex IV, the manufacturer has taken effective protective measures, including the recall of vehicles. Approval authorities should therefore be able to assess whether the proposed measures are sufficient or not. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (18) | It is important that manufacturers supply relevant information to vehicle owners in order to prevent misuse of safety devices. It is appropriate to include provisions thereon in this Directive. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (19) | It is also important for equipment manufacturers to have access to certain information that is available only from the vehicle manufacturer, that is to say, the technical information, including drawings, required for the development of parts for the aftermarket. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (20) | It is equally important that manufacturers make information readily available to independent operators to ensure the repairing and maintenance of vehicles in a fully competitive market. These information requirements have so far been incorporated in Community legislation, and in particular in Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2007 on type approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and 6) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information [(8)](#ntr8-L_2007263EN.01000101-E0008), on the basis that the Commission will present a report, no later than four years after the date of entry into force of that Regulation, on the operation of the system of access to vehicle repair and maintenance information and will consider whether it would be appropriate to consolidate all provisions governing access to such information within a revised framework directive on type approval. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (21) | With the aim of simplifying and accelerating the procedure, measures implementing the separate directives or regulations as well as measures for adapting the annexes to this Directive and the separate directives or regulations, in particular to the development of scientific and technical knowledge, should be adopted in accordance with Decision 1999/468/EC. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive or of the separate directives or regulations, or to supplement them by the addition of new non-essential elements, they should be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of that Decision. The same procedure should apply to adaptations needed for the type-approval of vehicles intended for persons with disabilities. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (22) | Experience shows that appropriate measures may have to be taken without delay with a view to ensuring a better protection of road users where shortcomings have been identified in the existing legislation. For such urgent cases, the necessary amendments to the separate directives or regulations should be adopted in accordance with Decision 1999/468/EC. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of the separate directives or regulations or to supplement them by the addition of new non-essential elements, they should be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of that Decision. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (23) | Since the objective of this Directive, namely the achievement of the internal market through the introduction of a compulsory system of Community type-approval for all categories of vehicles, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can, therefore, by reason of the scale of the action, be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance 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. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (24) | The obligation to transpose this Directive into national law should be confined to those provisions which represent a substantive change as compared with the earlier Directives. The obligation to transpose the provisions which are unchanged arises under the earlier Directives. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (25) | In accordance with point 34 of the Interinstitutional Agreement on better law-making [(9)](#ntr9-L_2007263EN.01000101-E0009), Member States are encouraged to draw up, for themselves and in the interests of the Community, their own tables illustrating, as far as possible, the correlation between this Directive and the transposition measures, and to make them public. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (26) | This Directive should be without prejudice to the obligations of the Member States relating to the time-limits for transposition into national law and application of the directives set out in Part B of Annex XX. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (27) | The requirements of this Directive are in accordance with the principles enshrined in the Action plan entitled ‘Simplifying and improving the regulatory environment’. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (28) | It is of particular importance that future measures proposed on the basis of this Directive or procedures to be implemented in application of it should comply with these principles, which have been restated by the Commission in its communication on a Competitive Automotive Regulatory framework for the 21st Century, |

HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

4.   Paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 shall apply mutatis mutandis to vehicles which were covered by a national type-approval but which had not been registered or put into service before that approval ceased to be valid, in application of Article 45, owing to the compulsory enforcement of the EC type-approval procedure.

5.   Member States shall apply appropriate measures to ensure that the number of vehicles to be registered or put into service in the framework of the procedure set out in this Article is effectively monitored.

Article 28

Sale and entry into service of components and separate technical units

1.   Member States shall permit the sale or entry into service of components or separate technical units if and only if they comply with the requirements of the relevant regulatory acts and are properly marked in accordance with Article 19.

2.   Paragraph 1 shall not apply in the case of components or separate technical units which are specifically constructed or designed for new vehicles not covered by this Directive.

3.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, Member States may permit the sale and entry into service of components or separate technical units that have been exempted from one or more provisions of a regulatory act in application of Article 20 or are intended for mounting on vehicles covered by approvals granted under Articles 22, 23 or 24 that concern the component or separate technical unit in question.

4.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, and unless otherwise provided for in a regulatory act, Member States may permit the sale and entry into service of components or separate technical units that are intended for mounting on vehicles which, at the time of their entry into service, were not required, by this Directive or by Directive 70/156/EEC to be EC type-approved.

CHAPTER XII

SAFEGUARD CLAUSES

Article 29

Vehicles, systems, components or separate technical units in compliance with this Directive

1.   If a Member State finds that new vehicles, systems, components or separate technical units, albeit in compliance with the applicable requirements or properly marked, present a serious risk to road safety, or seriously harm the environment or public health, that Member State may, for a maximum period of six months, refuse to register such vehicles or to permit the sale or entry into service in its territory of such vehicles, components or separate technical units.

In such cases, the Member State concerned shall immediately notify the manufacturer, the other Member States and the Commission accordingly, stating the reasons on which its decision is based and, in particular, whether it is the result of:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | shortcomings in the relevant regulatory acts, or |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | incorrect application of the relevant requirements. |

2.   The Commission shall consult the parties concerned as soon as possible and, in particular, the approval authority that granted the type-approval in order to prepare the decision.

3.   Where the measures referred to in paragraph 1 are attributed to shortcomings in the relevant regulatory acts, the appropriate measures shall be taken as follows:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | where separate directives or regulations listed in Part I of Annex IV are concerned, the Commission shall amend them in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 40(2), |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | where UNECE Regulations are concerned, the Commission shall propose the necessary draft amendments to the relevant UNECE Regulations in accordance with the procedure applicable under the Revised 1958 Agreement. |

4.   Where the measures referred to in paragraph 1 are attributed to incorrect application of the relevant requirements, the Commission shall take the appropriate measures to ensure compliance with such requirements.

Article 30

Vehicles, systems, components or separate technical units not in conformity with the approved type

1.   If a Member State which has granted an EC type-approval finds that new vehicles, systems, components or separate technical units accompanied by a certificate of conformity or bearing an approval mark do not conform to the type it has approved, it shall take the necessary measures, including, where necessary, the withdrawal of type-approval, to ensure that production vehicles, systems, components or separate technical units, as the case may be, are brought into conformity with the approved type. The approval authority of that Member State shall advise the approval authorities of the other Member States of the measures taken.

2.   For the purposes of paragraph 1, deviations from the particulars in the EC type-approval certificate or the information package shall be deemed to constitute failure to conform to the approved type.

A vehicle shall not be deemed to deviate from the approved type where tolerances are permitted by the relevant regulatory acts and those tolerances are respected.

3.   If a Member State demonstrates that new vehicles, components or separate technical units accompanied by a certificate of conformity or bearing an approval mark do not conform to the approved type, it may ask the Member State which granted the EC type-approval to verify that vehicles, systems, components or separate technical units in production continue to conform to the approved type. On receipt of such a request, the Member State concerned shall take the requisite action as soon as possible and in any case within six months of the date of the request.

4.   The approval authority shall request the Member State which granted the system, component, separate technical unit or incomplete vehicle type-approval to take the necessary action to ensure that vehicles in production are brought back into conformity with the approved type in the following cases:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (a) | in relation to an EC vehicle type-approval, where the non-conformity of a vehicle is attributable exclusively to the non-conformity of a system, component or separate technical unit; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (b) | in relation to a multi-stage type-approval, where the non-conformity of a completed vehicle is attributable exclusively to the non-conformity of a system, component or separate technical unit being part of the incomplete vehicle, or of the incomplete vehicle itself. |

On receipt of such a request, the Member State concerned shall take the requisite action, if necessary in conjunction with the Member State making the request, as soon as possible and in any case within six months of the date of the request. Where a failure to conform is established, the approval authority of the Member State which granted the system, component or separate technical unit EC type-approval or the approval of the incomplete vehicle shall take the measures set out in paragraph 1.

5.   The approval authorities shall inform each other within 20 working days of any withdrawal of EC type-approval and of the reasons therefor.

6.   If the Member State that granted EC type-approval disputes the failure to conform notified to it, the Member States concerned shall endeavour to settle the dispute. The Commission shall be kept informed and, where necessary, shall hold appropriate consultations with a view to reaching a settlement.

Article 31

Sale and entry into service of parts or equipment which are capable of posing a significant risk to the correct functioning of essential systems

1.   Member States shall permit the sale, the offer for sale or entry into service of parts or equipment which are capable of posing a significant risk to the correct functioning of systems that are essential for the safety of the vehicle or for its environmental performance, only if those parts or equipment have been authorised by an approval authority in accordance with paragraphs 5 to 10.

2.   Parts or equipment subject to authorisation in accordance with paragraph 1 shall be inserted in the list to be established in Annex XIII. Such a decision shall be preceded by an evaluation resulting in a report and strive for a fair balance between the following elements:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (a) | the existence of a serious risk to the safety or environmental performance of vehicles fitted with the parts or equipment under consideration; and |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (b) | the effect on consumers and manufacturers in the after-market of the imposition under this Article of a possible authorisation requirement on the parts or equipment under consideration. |

3.   Paragraph 1 shall not apply to original parts or equipment which are covered by a system type-approval with respect to a vehicle and to parts or equipment which are type-approved in accordance with the provisions of one of the regulatory acts listed in Annex IV, except where those approvals relate to aspects other than those covered in paragraph 1. Paragraph 1 shall not apply to parts or equipment exclusively produced for racing vehicles not intended for use on public roads. If parts or equipment included in Annex XIII have a dual use for racing and on the road, these parts or equipment may not be sold or offered for sale to the general public for use in on-road vehicles unless they comply with the requirements of this Article.

Where appropriate, the Commission shall adopt provisions for identifying the parts or equipment referred to in this paragraph.

4.   The Commission shall, after consulting stakeholders, establish the procedure and the requirements of the authorisation process referred to in paragraph 1, and adopt the provisions for the subsequent updating of the list established in Annex XIII. Those requirements shall include prescriptions for safety, environmental protection and, where needed, for testing standards. They may be based on the regulatory acts listed in Annex IV, may be developed according to the relevant state of safety, environmental and testing technology, or, if this is an appropriate way of achieving the required safety or environmental objectives, may consist of a comparison of the part or equipment with the environmental or safety performance of the original vehicle, or of any of its parts, as appropriate.

5.   For the purposes of paragraph 1, the manufacturer of parts or equipment shall submit to the approval authority a test report drafted by a designated technical service which certifies that the parts or equipment for which authorisation is sought comply with the requirements referred to in paragraph 4. The manufacturer may introduce only one application per type per part with only one approval authority.

The application shall include details concerning the manufacturer of the parts or equipment, the type, identification and part numbers of the parts or equipment for which authorisation is sought, as well as the vehicle manufacturer’s name, type of vehicle and, if appropriate, years of construction or any other information permitting the identification of the vehicle for which the fitting of such parts or equipment is intended.

When the approval authority is satisfied, taking account of the test report and other evidence, that the parts or equipment in question comply with the requirements referred to in paragraph 4, it shall issue a certificate to the manufacturer without unjustified delay. This certificate shall authorise the parts or equipment to be sold, offered for sale or fitted to vehicles in the Community subject to the second subparagraph of paragraph 9.

6.   Each part or piece of equipment authorised in application of this Article shall be appropriately marked.

The Commission shall establish marking and packaging requirements, as well as the model and numbering system of the certificate referred to in paragraph 5.

7.   The measures referred to in paragraphs 2 to 6 shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 40(2) as they are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive, inter alia by supplementing it.

8.   The manufacturer shall inform without delay the approval authority that issued the certificate of any change affecting the conditions under which it was delivered. That approval authority shall decide whether the certificate has to be reviewed or reissued and whether fresh tests are necessary.

The manufacturer shall be responsible for ensuring that the parts and equipment are produced and continue to be produced under the conditions under which the certificate was issued.

9.   Before delivering any authorisation, the approval authority shall verify the existence of satisfactory arrangements and procedures for ensuring effective control of the conformity of production.

Where the approval authority finds that the conditions for issuing the authorisation are no longer fulfilled, it shall request the manufacturer to take the necessary measures to ensure that the parts or equipment are brought back into conformity. If necessary, it shall withdraw the authorisation.

10.   Any disagreement between Member States in relation to the certificates referred to in paragraph 5 shall be brought to the attention of the Commission. It shall take appropriate measures, including, where necessary, requiring the withdrawal of the authorisation, after having consulted the Member States.

11.   This Article shall not be applicable to a part or piece of equipment before it is listed in Annex XIII. For any entry or group of entries in Annex XIII a reasonable transitional period shall be fixed to allow the manufacturer of the part or equipment to apply for and obtain an authorisation. At the same time a date may be fixed, where appropriate, to exclude parts and equipment designed for vehicles type-approved before that date from the application of this Article.

12.   As long as a decision as to whether or not a part or piece of equipment is to be included in the list referred to in paragraph 1 has not been taken, Member States may maintain national provisions dealing with parts or equipment which are capable of posing a significant risk to the correct functioning of systems that are essential for the safety of the vehicle or its environmental performance.

Once such a decision in this regard has been taken, the national provisions dealing with the parts or equipment in question shall cease to be valid.

13.   As from 29 October 2007, Member States shall not adopt new provisions dealing with parts and equipment which can affect the correct functioning of systems that are essential for the safety of the vehicle or its environmental performance.

Article 32

Recall of vehicles

1.   Where a manufacturer who has been granted an EC vehicle type-approval is obliged, in application of the provisions of a regulatory act or of Directive 2001/95/EC, to recall vehicles already sold, registered or put into service because one or more systems, components or separate technical units fitted to the vehicle, whether or not duly approved in accordance with this Directive, presents a serious risk to road safety, public health or environmental protection, he shall immediately inform the approval authority that granted the vehicle approval thereof.

2.   The manufacturer shall propose to the approval authority a set of appropriate remedies to neutralise the risk referred to in paragraph 1. The approval authority shall communicate the proposed measures to the authorities of the other Member States without delay.

The competent authorities shall ensure that the measures are effectively implemented in their respective territories.

3.   If the measures are considered to be insufficient by the authorities concerned or have not been implemented quickly enough, they shall inform the approval authority that granted the EC vehicle type-approval without delay.

The approval authority shall then inform the manufacturer. If the approval authority which granted the EC type-approval is itself not satisfied with the measures of the manufacturer, it shall take all protective measures required, including the withdrawal of the EC vehicle type-approval where the manufacturer does not propose and implement effective corrective measures. In case of withdrawal of the EC vehicle type-approval, the concerned approval authority shall notify the manufacturer, the approval authorities of the other Member States and the Commission by registered letter or equivalent electronic means within 20 working days.

4.   This Article shall also apply to parts that are not subject to any requirement under a regulatory act.

Article 33

Notification of decisions and remedies available

All decisions taken pursuant to the provisions adopted in implementation of this Directive and all decisions refusing or withdrawing EC type-approval, or refusing registration or prohibiting sales, shall state in detail the reasons on which they are based.

Any such decision shall be notified to the party concerned who shall, at the same time, be informed of the remedies available to him under the laws in force in the Member State concerned and of the time limits allowed for the exercise of such remedies.

CHAPTER XIII

INTERNATIONAL REGULATIONS

Article 34

UNECE Regulations required for EC type-approval

1.   UNECE Regulations to which the Community has acceded and which are listed in Part I of Annex IV and in Annex XI are part of the EC type-approval of a vehicle in the same way as the separate directives or regulations. They shall apply to the categories of vehicles listed in the relevant columns in the table of Part I of Annex IV and Annex XI.

2.   When the Community has decided to apply on a compulsory basis a UNECE Regulation for the purpose of EC vehicle type-approval in accordance with Article 4(4) of Decision 97/836/EC, the annexes to this Directive shall be amended as appropriate in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 40(2) of this Directive. The act amending the Annexes to this Directive shall also specify the dates of compulsory application of the UNECE Regulation or of its amendments. Member States shall repeal or adapt any national legislation that is incompatible with the UNECE Regulation in question.

Where such a UNECE Regulation replaces an existing separate directive or regulation, the relevant entry in Part I of Annex IV and in Annex XI shall be replaced by the number of the UNECE Regulation and the corresponding entry in Part II of Annex IV shall be deleted in accordance with the same procedure.

3.   In the cases referred to in the second subparagraph of paragraph 2, the separate directive or regulation replaced by the UNECE Regulation shall be repealed in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 40(2).

Where a separate directive is repealed, Member States shall repeal any national legislation that was adopted for the transposition of that directive.

4.   Direct references may be made in this Directive or in the separate directives or regulations to international standards and regulations without reproducing them in the Community legal framework.

Article 35

Equivalence of UNECE Regulations with directives or regulations

1.   The UNECE Regulations listed in Part II of Annex IV are recognised as being equivalent to the corresponding separate directives or regulations in as much as they share the same scope and subject matter.

The approval authorities of the Member States shall accept approvals granted in accordance with those UNECE Regulations and, where applicable, the pertaining approval marks, in lieu of the corresponding approvals and approval marks granted in accordance with the equivalent separate directive or regulation.

2.   Where the Community has decided to apply, for the purposes of paragraph 1, a new UNECE Regulation or a UNECE Regulation as amended, Part II of Annex IV shall be amended as appropriate. These measures, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 40(2).

Article 36

Equivalence with other regulations

The Council may, acting by qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, recognise the equivalence between the conditions or provisions for EC type-approval of systems, components and separate technical units established by this Directive and the procedures established by international regulations or regulations of third countries, in the framework of multilateral or bilateral agreements between the Community and third countries.

ANNEX II

Definition of vehicle categories and vehicle types

A.   DEFINITION OF VEHICLE CATEGORY

Vehicle categories are defined according to the following classification: (Where reference is made to ‘maximum mass’ in the following definitions, this means ‘technically permissible maximum laden mass’ as specified in item 2.8 of Annex I.)

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| Category M: | Motor vehicles with at least four wheels designed and constructed for the carriage of passengers. |
| Category M1: | Vehicles designed and constructed for the carriage of passengers and comprising no more than eight seats in addition to the driver’s seat. |
| Category M2: | Vehicles designed and constructed for the carriage of passengers, comprising more than eight seats in addition to the driver’s seat, and having a maximum mass not exceeding 5 tonnes. |
| Category M3: | Vehicles designed and constructed for the carriage of passengers, comprising more than eight seats in addition to the driver’s seat, and having a maximum mass exceeding 5 tonnes. |

The types of bodywork and codifications pertinent to the vehicles of category M are defined in Part C of this Annex paragraph 1 (vehicles of category M1) and paragraph 2 (vehicles of categories M2 and M3) to be used for the purpose specified in that Part.

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| Category N: | Motor vehicles with at least four wheels designed and constructed for the carriage of goods. |
| Category N1: | Vehicles designed and constructed for the carriage of goods and having a maximum mass not exceeding 3,5 tonnes. |
| Category N2: | Vehicles designed and constructed for the carriage of goods and having a maximum mass exceeding 3,5 tonnes but not exceeding 12 tonnes. |
| Category N3: | Vehicles designed and constructed for the carriage of goods and having a maximum mass exceeding 12 tonnes. |

In the case of a towing vehicle designed to be coupled to a semi-trailer or centre-axle trailer, the mass to be considered for classifying the vehicle is the mass of the tractor vehicle in running order, increased by the mass corresponding to the maximum static vertical load transferred to the tractor vehicle by the semi-trailer or centre-axle trailer and, where applicable, by the maximum mass of the tractor vehicles own load.

The types of bodywork and codifications pertinent to the vehicles of category N are defined in Part C of this Annex paragraph 3 to be used for the purpose specified in that Part.

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| Category O: | Trailers (including semi-trailers). |
| Category O1: | Trailers with a maximum mass not exceeding 0,75 tonnes |
| Category O2: | Trailers with a maximum mass exceeding 0,75 tonnes but not exceeding 3,5 tonnes. |
| Category O3: | Trailers with a maximum mass exceeding 3,5 tonnes but not exceeding 10 tonnes. |
| Category O4: | Trailers with a maximum mass exceeding 10 tonnes. |

In the case of a semi-trailer or centre-axle trailer, the maximum mass to be considered for classifying the trailer corresponds to the static vertical load transmitted to the ground by the axle or axles of the semi-trailer or centre-axle trailer when coupled to the towing vehicle and carrying its maximum load.

The types of bodywork and codifications pertinent to the vehicles of category O are defined in Part C of this Annex paragraph 4 to be used for the purpose specified in that Part.

Off-road vehicles (symbol G)

4.1.   Vehicles in category N1 with a maximum mass not exceeding two tonnes and vehicles in category M1 are considered to be off-road vehicles if they have:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | at least one front axle and at least one rear axle designed to be driven simultaneously including vehicles where the drive to one axle can be disengaged, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | at least one differential locking mechanism or at least one mechanism having a similar effect and if they can climb a 30 % gradient calculated for a solo vehicle. |

In addition, they must satisfy at least five of the following six requirements:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the approach angle must be at least 25 degrees, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the departure angle must be at least 20 degrees, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the ramp angle must be at least 20 degrees, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the ground clearance under the front axle must be at least 180 mm, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the ground clearance under the rear axle must be at least 180 mm, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the ground clearance between the axles must be at least 200 mm. |

4.2.   Vehicles in category N1 with a maximum mass exceeding two tonnes or in category N2, M2 or M3 with a maximum mass not exceeding 12 tonnes are considered to be off-road vehicles either if all their wheels are designed to be driven simultaneously, including vehicles where the drive to one axle can be disengaged, or if the following three requirements are satisfied:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | at least one front and at least one rear axle are designed to be driven simultaneously, including vehicles where the drive to one axle can be disengaged, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | there is at least one differential locking mechanism or at least one mechanism having a similar effect, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | they can climb a 25 % gradient calculated for a solo vehicle. |

4.3.   Vehicles in category M3 with a maximum mass exceeding 12 tonnes or in category N3 are to be considered to be off-road vehicles either if the wheels are designed to be driven simultaneously, including vehicles where the drive to one axle can be disengaged, or if the following requirements are satisfied:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | at least half the wheels are driven, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | there is at least one differential locking mechanism or at least one mechanism having a similar effect, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | they can climb a 25 % gradient calculated for a solo vehicle, |

|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| — | at least four of the following six requirements are satisfied:   |  |  | | --- | --- | | — | the approach angle must be at least 25 degrees, |  |  |  | | --- | --- | | — | the departure angle must be at least 25 degrees, |  |  |  | | --- | --- | | — | the ramp angle must be at least 25 degrees, |  |  |  | | --- | --- | | — | the ground clearance under the front axle must be at least 250 mm, |  |  |  | | --- | --- | | — | the ground clearance between the axles must be at least 300 mm, |  |  |  | | --- | --- | | — | the ground clearance under the rear axle must be at least 250 mm. | |

Load and checking conditions.

4.4.1.   Vehicles in category N1 with a maximum mass not exceeding two tonnes and vehicles in category M1 must be in running order, namely with coolant fluid, lubricants, fuel, tools, spare-wheel and driver (see footnote (o) in Annex I).

4.4.2.   Motor vehicles other than those referred to in 4.4.1 must be loaded to the technically permissible maximum mass stated by the manufacturer.

4.4.3.   The ability to climb the required gradients (25 % and 30 %) is verified by simple calculation. In exceptional cases, however, the technical services may ask for a vehicle of the type concerned to be submitted to it for an actual test.

4.4.4.   When measuring approach and departure angles and ramp angles, no account is taken of underrun protective devices.

Definitions and sketches of ground clearance. (For definitions of approach angle, departure angle, ramp angle, see Annex I, footnotes (na), (nb) and (nc)).

4.5.1.   
‘Ground clearance between the axles’ means the shortest distance between the ground plane and the lowest fixed point of the vehicle. Multi-axled bogies are considered to be a single axle.

‘Ground clearance beneath one axle’ means the distance beneath the highest point of the arc of a circle passing through the centre of the tyre footprint of the wheels on one axle (the inner wheels in the case of twin tyres) and touching the lowest fixed point of the vehicle between the wheels.

Appendix 2

Procedure for the assessment of the technical services

1.   PURPOSE OF THIS APPENDIX

1.1.   This Appendix establishes the conditions according to which the assessment procedure of the technical services should be conducted by the competent authority referred to in Article 42 of this Directive.

1.2.   These requirements shall apply mutatis mutandis to all technical services, irrespective of their legal status (independent organization, manufacturer or approval authority acting as technical service).

2.   PRINCIPLES OF ASSESSING

Assessing is characterised by reliance on a number of principles:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | independance which is the basis for the impartiality and objectivity of the conclusions, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | an evidence-base approach which guarantees reliable and reproducible conclusions. |

Auditors must show trust and integrity, and must respect confidentiality and discretion. They must report truthfully and accurately findings and conclusions.

3.   SKILLS REQUIRED OF THE AUDITORS

3.1.   The assessments may only be conducted by auditors having the technical and administrative knowledge necessary for such purposes.

3.2.   The auditors must have been trained specifically for assessment activities. In addition, they must have the specific knowledge of the technical area in which the technical service will exercise its activities.

3.3.   Without prejudice to the provisions of points 3.1. and 3.2., the assessment referred to in Article 42 paragraph 4 must be conducted by auditors independent of the activities for which the assessment is conducted.

4.   APPLICATION FOR DESIGNATION

4.1.   A duly authorised representative of the applicant technical service must make a formal application to the competent authority that includes the following:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (a) | general features of the technical service, including corporate entity, name, addresses, legal status and human and technical resources; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (b) | general information concerning the technical service such as its activities, its relationship in a larger corporate entity if any, and addresses of all its physical location(s) to be covered by the scope of designation; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (c) | an agreement to fulfil the requirements for designation and the other obligations of the technical service as applicable in the relevant directives; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (d) | a description of the conformity assessment services that the technical service undertakes in the framework of the applicable directives and a list of the directives for which the technical service seeks designation, including limits of capability where applicable; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (e) | a copy of the quality manual of the technical service. |

4.2.   The competent authority must review for adequacy the information supplied by the technical service.

5.   RESOURCE REVIEW

The competent authority must review its ability to carry out the assessment of the technical service, in terms of its own policy, its competence and the availability of suitable auditors and experts.

6.   SUBCONTRACTING THE ASSESSMENT

6.1.   The competent authority may subcontract parts of the assessment to another designation authority or ask for support from technical experts provided by other competent authorities. The subcontractors and experts have to be accepted by the applicant technical service.

6.2.   The competent authority must take into account accreditation certificates with adequate scope in order to complete its global assessment of the technical service.

7.   PREPARATION FOR ASSESSMENT

7.1.   The competent authority must formally appoint an assessment team. The former must ensure that the expertise brought to each assignment is appropriate. In particular, the team as a whole:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (a) | must have appropriate knowledge of the specific scope for which designation is sought, and |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (b) | must have understanding sufficient to make a reliable assessment of the competence of the technical service to operate within its scope of designation. |

7.2.   The competent authority must clearly define the assignment given to the assessment team. The task of the assessment team is to review the documents collected from the applicant technical service and to conduct the on-site assessment.

7.3.   The competent authority must agree, together with the technical service and the assigned assessment team, to the date and schedule for the assessment. However, it remains the responsibility of the competent authority to pursue a date that is in accordance with the surveillance and reassessment plan.

7.4.   The competent authority must ensure that the assessment team is provided with the appropriate criteria documents, previous assessment records, and the relevant documents and records of the technical service.

8.   ON-SITE ASSESSMENT

The assessment team must conduct the assessment of the technical service at the premises of the technical service from which one or more key activities are performed and, where relevant, must perform witnessing at other selected locations where the technical service operates.

9.   ANALYSIS OF FINDINGS AND ASSESSMENT REPORT

9.1.   The assessment team must analyse all relevant information and evidence gathered during the document and record review and the on-site assessment. This analysis must be sufficient to allow the team to determine the extent of competence and conformity of the technical service with the requirements for designation.

The competent authority’s reporting procedures must ensure that the following requirements are fulfilled.

9.2.1.   A meeting must take place between the assessment team and the technical service prior to leaving the site. At this meeting, the assessment team must provide a written and/or oral report on its findings obtained from the analysis. An opportunity must be provided for the technical service to ask questions about the findings, including nonconformities, if any, and their basis.

9.2.2.   A written report on the outcome of the assessment must be promptly brought to the attention of the technical service. This assessment report must contain comments on competence and conformity, and must identify nonconformities, if any, to be resolved in order to conform to all of the requirements for designation.

9.2.3.   The technical service must be invited to respond to the assessment report and to describe the specific actions taken or planned to be taken, within a defined time, to resolve any identified nonconformities.

9.3.   The competent authority must ensure that the responses of the technical service to resolve nonconformities are reviewed to see if the actions appear to be sufficient and effective. If the technical service responses are found not to be sufficient, further information must be requested. Additionally, evidence of effective implementation of actions taken may be requested, or a follow-up assessment may be carried out to verify effective implementation of corrective actions.

9.4.   The assessment report must include, as a minimum

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (a) | unique identification of the technical service; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (b) | date(s) of the on-site assessment; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (c) | name(s) of the auditors(s) and/or experts involved in the assessment; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (d) | unique identification of all premises assessed; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (e) | proposed scope of designation that was assessed; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (f) | a statement on the adequacy of the internal organisation and procedures adopted by the technical service to give confidence in its competence, as determined through its fulfilment of the requirements for designation; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (g) | information on the resolution of all nonconformities; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (h) | a recommendation of whether the applicant should be designated or confirmed as technical service and, if so, the scope of designation. |

10.   GRANTING/CONFIRMING A DESIGNATION

10.1.   The approval authority must, without undue delay, make the decision on whether to grant, confirm or extend designation on the basis of the report(s) and any other relevant information.

10.2.   The approval authority must provide a certificate to the technical service. This certificate must identify the following:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (a) | the identity and logo of the approval authority; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (b) | the unique identity of the designated technical service; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (c) | the effective date of granting of designation and the expiry date; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (d) | a brief indication of or a reference to the scope of designation (applicable directives, regulations or part of them); |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (e) | a statement of conformity and a reference to the present directive. |

11.   REASSESSMENT AND SURVEILLANCE

11.1.   Reassessment is similar to an initial assessment except that experience gained during previous assessments must be taken into account. Surveillance on-site assessments are less comprehensive than reassessments.

11.2.   The competent authority must design its plan for reassessment and surveillance of each designated technical service so that representative samples of the scope of designation are assessed on a regular basis.

The interval between on-site assessments, whether reassessment or surveillance, depends on the proven stability that the technical service has reached.

11.3.   When, during surveillance or reassessments, nonconformities are identified, the competent authority must define strict time limits for corrective actions to be implemented.

11.4.   When the corrective or improvement actions have not been taken within the agreed timeframe or are not deemed to be sufficient, the competent authority must adopt appropriate measures such as, conducting a further assessment, suspending/withdrawing the designation for one or more of the activities for which the technical service has been designated.

11.5.   When the competent authority decides to suspend or withdraw the designation of a technical service, it must inform the latter by registered mail. In any case, the competent authority must adopt all the necessary measures to ensure the continuity of the activities already undertaken by the technical service.

12.   RECORDS ON DESIGNATED TECHNICAL SERVICES

12.1.   The competent authority must maintain records on technical services to demonstrate that requirements for designation, including competence, have been effectively fulfilled.

12.2.   The competent authority must keep the records on technical services secure to ensure confidentiality.

12.3.   Records on technical services must include at least:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (a) | relevant correspondence; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (b) | assessment records and reports; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (c) | copies of designation certificates. |

ANNEX X

CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION PROCEDURES

0.   OBJECTIVES

The conformity of production procedure aims to ensure that each produced vehicle, system, component and technical separate unit is in conformity with the approved type.

Procedures include inseparably, the assessment of quality management systems, referred to below as the initial assessment [(1)](#ntr1-L_2007263EN.01013201-E0001) and verification of the approval subject and product-related controls, and referred to as product conformity arrangements.

1.   INITIAL ASSESSMENT

1.1.   The EC type-approval authority of a Member State must verify, before granting EC type-approval, the existence of satisfactory arrangements and procedures for ensuring effective control so that components, systems, separate technical units or vehicles when in production conform to the approved type.

The requirements in point 1.1 shall be verified to the satisfaction of the authority granting EC type-approval.

That authority shall be satisfied with the initial assessment and the initial product conformity arrangements at section 2 below, taking account, as necessary, of one of the arrangements described at paragraphs 1.2.1 to 1.2.3, or a combination of those arrangements in full or in part as appropriate.

The actual initial assessment and/or verification of product conformity arrangements shall be carried out by the EC type-approval authority granting the approval or an appointed body acting on behalf of the EC type-approval authority.

1.2.1.1.   When considering the extent of the initial assessment to be carried out, the EC type-approval authority may take account of available information relating to:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | the manufacturer’s certification described in 1.2.3 below, which has not been qualified or recognised under that paragraph, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | in the case of component or separate technical unit EC type-approval, quality system assessments performed in the component or separate technical unit manufacturer’s premises by vehicle manufacturer(s), according to one or more of the industry sector specifications satisfying the requirements in harmonised standard EN ISO 9002-1994, or EN ISO 9001-2000 with the permissible exclusion of the requirements related to the concepts of design and development, sub-clause 7.3 ‘Customer Satisfaction and Continual Improvement’. |

1.2.2.   The actual initial assessment and/or verification of product conformity arrangements may also be carried out by the EC type-approval authority of another Member State or the appointed body designated for this purpose by the EC type-approval authority. In that case, the EC type-approval authority of the other Member State shall prepare a statement of compliance outlining the areas and production facilities it has covered as relevant to the product(s) to be EC type-approved and to the directive or regulation according to which these products are to be approved [(2)](#ntr2-L_2007263EN.01013201-E0002). On receiving an application for a compliance statement from the EC type-approval authority of a Member State granting EC type-approval, the EC type-approval authority of another Member State shall send forthwith the statement of compliance or advise that it is not in a position to provide such a statement. The statement of compliance should at least include:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| Group or company: | (e.g. XYZ Automotive) |
| Particular organisation: | (e.g. European Division) |
| Plants/Sites: | (e.g. Engine Plant 1 (United Kingdom) Vehicle Plant 2 (Germany)) |
| Vehicle/Component range: | (e.g. All Category M1 models) |
| Areas assessed: | (e.g. Engine assembly, body pressing and assembly, vehicle assembly) |
| Documents examined: | (e.g. Company and site quality manual and procedures) |
| Assessment: | (e.g. Conducted: 18-30.9.2001)  (e.g. Planned monitor visit: March 2002) |

1.2.3.   The EC type-approval authority must also accept the manufacturer’s suitable certification to harmonised standard EN ISO 9002-1994 (whose scope covers the locations of production and product(s) to be approved), or EN ISO 9001-2000 with the permissible exclusion of the requirements related to the concepts of design and development, sub-clause 7.3 ‘Customer Satisfaction and Continual Improvement’, or an equivalent harmonised standard as satisfying the initial assessment requirements of point 1.2. The manufacturer must provide details of the certification and undertake to inform the EC type-approval authority of any revisions to its validity or scope.

1.3.   For the purpose of the whole vehicle EC type-approval, the initial assessments carried out for granting of approvals for systems, components and technical units of the vehicle need not be repeated, but shall be completed by an assessment covering the locations and activities relating to the assembly of the whole vehicle not covered by the former assessments.

2.   PRODUCT CONFORMITY ARRANGEMENTS

2.1.   Every vehicle, system, component or separate technical unit approved pursuant to this Directive or a separate directive or regulation must be so manufactured as to conform to the type approved by meeting the requirements of this Directive or a separate directive or regulation contained in the complete list set out in Annex IV or XI.

2.2.   The EC type-approval authority of a Member State, at the time of granting an EC type-approval, must verify the existence of adequate arrangements and documented control plans, to be agreed with the manufacturer for each approval, to carry out at specified intervals those tests or associated checks necessary to verify continued conformity with the approved type including specifically, where applicable, tests specified in the separate directives or regulations.

The holder of the EC type-approval must, in particular:

2.3.1.   ensure the existence and application of procedures for effective control of the conformity of products (vehicles, systems, components or separate technical units) to the approved type;

2.3.2.   have access to the testing or other appropriate equipment necessary for checking the conformity to each approved type;

2.3.3.   ensure that test or check results data are recorded and that annexed documents remain available for a period to be determined in agreement with the type-approval authority. This period is not required to exceed 10 years;

2.3.4.   analyse the results of each type of test or check, in order to verify and ensure the stability of the product characteristics, making allowance for variation of an industrial production;

2.3.5.   ensure that for each type of product, at least the checks prescribed in this Directive and the tests prescribed in the applicable separate directives or regulations contained in the complete list set out in Annex IV or XI, are carried out;

2.3.6.   ensure that any set of samples or test pieces, giving evidence of non-conformity in the type of test or check in question gives rise to a further sampling and test or check. All the necessary steps shall be taken to restore conformity of the corresponding production;

2.3.7.   in the case of whole-vehicle EC type-approval, the checks referred to in point 2.3.5 are restricted to those verifying the correct build specification in relation to the approval and especially to the information document laid down in Annex III and the information required for certificates of conformity given in Annex IX to this Directive.

3.   CONTINUED VERIFICATION ARRANGEMENTS

The authority which has granted EC type-approval may at any time verify the conformity control methods applied in each production facility.

The normal arrangements shall be to monitor the continued effectiveness of the procedures established at 1.2 (initial assessment and product conformity) of this Annex.

3.1.1.1.   Surveillance activities carried out by a certification body (qualified or recognised as required by paragraph 1.2.3 of this Annex) must be accepted as satisfying the requirements of 3.1.1 with regard to the procedures established at initial assessment (paragraph 1.2.3).

3.1.1.2.   The normal frequency of verifications by the EC type-approval authority (other than those at 3.1.1.1) shall be such as to ensure that the relevant controls applied in accordance with Sections 1 and 2 of this Annex are reviewed over a period consistent with the climate of trust established by the type-approval authority.

3.2.   At every review, records of tests or checks and records of production shall be made available to the inspector; in particular, records of those tests or checks documented as required by point 2.2 of this Annex.

3.3.   Where the nature of the test is appropriate, the inspector may select samples at random to be tested in the manufacturer’s laboratory (or by the technical service where the separate directive or regulation so provides). The minimum number of samples may be determined according to the results of the manufacturer’s own verification.

3.4.   Where the level of control appears unsatisfactory, or when it seems necessary to verify the validity of the tests carried out in application of point 3.2, the inspector must select samples to be sent to the technical service which conducted the EC type-approval tests.

3.5.   In cases where unsatisfactory results are found during an inspection or a monitoring review, the EC type-approval authority must ensure that all necessary steps are taken to restore conformity of production as rapidly as possible.

PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED DURING MULTI-STAGE EC TYPE-APPROVAL

1.   GENERAL

1.1.   The satisfactory operation of the process of multi-stage EC type-approval requires joint action by all the manufacturers concerned. To this end approval authorities must ensure, before granting first and subsequent stage approval, that suitable arrangements exist between the relevant manufacturers for the supply and interchange of documents and information such that the completed vehicle type meets the technical requirements of all the relevant regulatory acts as prescribed in Annex IV or Annex XI. Such information must include details of relevant system, component and separate technical unit approvals and of vehicle parts which form part of the incomplete vehicle but are not yet approved.

1.2.   EC type-approvals in accordance with this Annex are granted on the basis of the current state of completion of the vehicle type and must incorporate all approvals granted at earlier stages.

1.3.   Each manufacturer in a multi-stage EC type-approval process is responsible for the approval and conformity of production of all systems, components or separate technical units manufactured by him or added by him to the previously built stage. He is not responsible for subjects which have been approved in an earlier stage except in those cases where he modifies relevant parts to an extent that the previously granted approval becomes invalid.

2.   PROCEDURES

The type-approval authority must:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (a) | verify that all EC type-approval certificates issued pursuant to the regulatory acts which are applicable for vehicle type-approval cover the vehicle type at its state of completion and correspond to the prescribed requirements; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (b) | ensure that all the relevant data, taking account of the state of completion of the vehicle, is included in the information folder; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (c) | by reference to the documentation make sure that the vehicle specification(s) and data contained in Part I of the vehicle information folder are included in the data in the information packages and in the EC type-approval certificates, in respect of the relevant regulatory acts; and in the case of a completed vehicle, where an item number in Part I of the information folder is not included in the information package of any of the regulatory acts, confirm that the relevant part of characteristic conforms to the particulars in the information folder; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (d) | on a selected sample of vehicles from the type to be approved carry out or arrange to be carried out inspections of vehicle parts and systems to verify that the vehicle(s) is/are built in accordance with the relevant data contained in the authenticated information package in respect of all relevant regulatory acts; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (e) | carry out or arrange to be carried out relevant installation checks in respect of separate technical units where applicable. |

3.   The number of vehicles to be inspected for the purposes of paragraph 2(d) must be sufficient to permit the proper control of the various combinations to be EC type-approved according to the state of completion of the vehicle and the following criteria:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | engine, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | gearbox, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | powered axles (number, position, interconnection), |

|  |  |

| — | level of equipment. |

4.   IDENTIFICATION OF THE VEHICLE

4.1.   Vehicle identification number

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (a) | The identification number of the base vehicle (VIN) prescribed by Directive 76/114/EEC shall be retained during all the subsequent stages of the type-approval process to ensure the ‘traceability’ of the process. |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| (b) | However, at the final stage of completion, the manufacturer concerned by this stage may replace, in agreement with the approval authority, the first and second sections of the vehicle identification number by his own vehicle manufacturer code and the vehicle identification code if, and only if, the vehicle has to be registered under his own trade name. In such a case, the complete vehicle identification number of the base vehicle shall not be deleted. |

4.2.   Additional manufacturer’s plate

At the second and subsequent stages, in addition to the statutory plate prescribed by Directive 76/114/EEC, each manufacturer must affix to the vehicle an additional plate the model of which is shown in the appendix to this Annex. This plate must be firmly attached, in a conspicuous and readily accessible position on a part not subject to replacement in use. It must show clearly and indelibly the following information in the order listed:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
