                                 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
     GENERAL
     The aim of this proposal for a Directive is to amend the Council Directive
     of 18 December 1986 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States
     relating to the permissible sound level and exhaust system of motorcycles
     ( Directive 87/ 56 / EEC ).
     The amendments are chiefly intended to introduce requirements for
     replacement exhaust systems and respond to the need to supplement the
     measures already adopted in order to reduce the sound level of
     motorcycles , in particular during their use .
     Such a need was recognized by both the Council and the Commission when
     Directive 87/ 56 /EEC was adopted , and in a statement entered in the minutes
     of the 1121st Council meeting , held on 24 November 1986 , the Commission
     was invited to present the Council as quickly as possible with a proposal
     to that effect .
II . CONTENT OF THE PROPOSAL
     This proposal for a Directive supplements the technical requirements
     applicable to all exhaust systems and establishes an EEC type-approval
     procedure for replacement exhaust systmes , together with the technical
     requirements and checks to which they are subject . In particular , more
     comprehensive requirements have been laid down in respect of fibrous
     absorbent material used in the construction of exhaust systems fitted as
     either original equipment or replacement parts , and a procedure has been
     introduced for the EEC type-approval of exhaust systems or components
     thereof as separate technical units , together with the requirements
     relating to the construction of such exhaust systems that must be
     satisfied in order to obtain such approval .

                        amending Directive 78/ 1015/EEC on the
   approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the permissible
                  sound level and exhaust system of motorcycles
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community , and
in particular Article 100A thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
In cooperation with the European Parliament ,
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee ,
Whereas it is important to adopt measures with the aim of progressively
establishing the internal market over a period expiring on 31 December 1992 ;
whereas the internal market shall comprise an area without internal frontiers
in which the free movement of goods , persons , services and capital is ensured .
Whereas Council Directive 78/1015/EEC1 , as Last amended by    . Directive
           2
87/ 56 /EEC , lays down limits for the sound level of motorcycles and provisions
governing exhaust systems fitted as original equipment to motorcycles ;
Whereas replacement exhaust systems very frequently differ from original
equipment ; whereas this situation therefore has , among other things , adverse
effects on the sound emissions of motorcycles ; whereas an EEC type-approval
procedure for such replacement devices making it possible to establish that a
type of device meets the technical requirements and checks laid down at
Community level is likely to be an adequate means of reducing the sound

level of motorcycles in use and of affording the population additional
protection against noise nuisances causes by such vehicles
Whereas , to that end , Directive 78 / 1015/EEC should be supplemented by
provisions on exhaust systems as separate technical units in order to regulate
such devices , in particular where they are sold and used as replacement parts ,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE :
                                      Article 1

             State established that a type of exhaust system or component
             thereof meets the technical requirements and successfully
             undergoes the checks set out in Annex II to this Directive ."
2 . In the second paragraph of Article 3(1 ), the reference to Annex II is
    replaced by a reference to Annex III .

                       , Articles 3 to 6 shall apply , by analogy , to the EEC
    type approval of exhaust systems or components thereof as separate
    technical units as defined in Article 2(b ).
    In such cases , the model certificate referred to in Article 3 shall be
    replaced by the model EEC type-approval certificate set out in Annex IV
    and the modification of one of the components or characteristics
    mentioned in Annex I , point 1.1 ., as referred to in Article 6 , shall be
    replaced by the modification of one of the characteristics referred to
    in Annex I , points 1.3.1 . to 1.3.4 ."

        are not subject to national type approval shall not refuse the
        registration or prohibit the sale , entry into service or use of such
        motorcycles on the grounds that the harmonized technical requirements
        of Directive 78 / 1015 /EEC , as amended by this Directive , have been
        complied with instead of the corresponding national requirements .
 2 . From 1 October 1989 :

During this conditioning procedure , at the request of the
manufacturer , the engine and exhaust system may be cooled in
order that the temperature recorded at a point not more than
100 mm from the exhaust port outlet does not exceed that
measured when the motorcycle is running at 110 km/ h or 75V. of S
in top gear . The engine and / or motorcycle speed is determined
to within +/- 3*4 .
