         COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2015/166
   of 3 February 2015
   supplementing and amending Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the inclusion of specific procedures, assessment methods and technical requirements, and amending Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, and Commission Regulations (EU) No 1003/2010, (EU) No 109/2011 and (EU) No 458/2011
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to 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) (1), and in particular Article 39(2) thereof,
   Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 concerning type-approval requirements for the general safety of motor vehicles, their trailers and systems, components and separate technical units intended therefor (2), and in particular Article 14(1)(a) and (f) thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               It is necessary to lay down detailed provisions for the type-approval of motor vehicles, their trailers and systems, components and separate technical units intended therefor regarding their general safety and to clarify the conditions of application of the relevant legislation made compulsory by Regulation (EC) No 661/2009.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               Without prejudice to the list of regulatory acts setting the requirements for the purpose of EC type-approval of vehicles laid down in Annex IV to Directive 2007/46/EC, Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 provides vehicle manufacturers with the possibility to submit an application for type-approval for measures implementing Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 setting out requirements in areas covered by UNECE regulations.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               It is in particular necessary to set out specific procedures for type-approval according to Article 20 of Directive 2007/46/EC concerning new technologies or concepts incompatible with the existing measures implementing Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 covered by UNECE regulations, as such provisions are currently unavailable, but needed.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               It is in principle not possible to obtain type-approval in accordance with UNECE regulations in the case of installed components or separate technical units which have only a valid EC type-approval. However, this should be made possible for the purposes of EC type-approval according to Regulation (EC) No 661/2009, based on the provisions of the UNECE regulations.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               Annex XV to Directive 2007/46/EC lists regulatory acts for which a manufacturer may be designated as technical service, including a number of Directives that are repealed by Regulation (EC) No 661/2009. It is therefore necessary to replace the references to the relevant Directives with references to the appropriate measures implementing Regulation (EC) No 661/2009.
            
         
               (6)
            
            
               Annex XVI to Directive 2007/46/EC lists the regulatory acts for which virtual testing may be used by the manufacturer or a technical service, including a number of Directives that are repealed by Regulation (EC) No 661/2009. It is therefore necessary to replace the relevant references to the relevant Directives with the references to the appropriate measures implementing Regulation (EC) No 661/2009.
            
         
               (7)
            
            
               To allow for a consistent approach with regard to the numbering of EC type-approval certificates and EC type-approval marks, it is further necessary to set out specific administrative provisions as well as a numbering and marking system under Regulation (EC) No 661/2009.
            
         
               (8)
            
            
               UNECE regulations contain specific provisions on the particulars that must accompany an application for type approval. In the context of the procedures provided for in this Regulation, those particulars should equally be indicated in the information folder.
            
         
               (9)
            
            
               Compliance with Council Directive 71/320/EEC (3), repealed by Regulation (EC) No 661/2009, is still compulsory for replacement brake lining assemblies but compliance with UNECE Regulation No 90 (4) was accepted as an alternative. Detailed provisions, including adequate transitional provisions, have to be provided for regarding the replacement of brake lining assemblies, drum brake linings, brake discs and brake drums for power-driven vehicles and their trailers in accordance with UNECE Regulation No 90.
            
         
               (10)
            
            
               Concerning vehicles of category N, pursuant to Article 6(4) of Regulation (EC) No 661/2009, the vehicle cab or the space provided for the driver and passengers must be of sufficient strength to offer protection to the occupants in the event of an impact, taking account of UNECE Regulation No 29 (5). For this purpose, this regulation is to be included in the list of UNECE regulations which comply on a compulsory basis.
            
         
               (11)
            
            
               The table in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 laying down the scope of application for the requirements referred to in Article 5(1) and (2) of that Regulation needs to be updated following the adoption of Commission Directive 2010/19/EU (6).
            
         
               (12)
            
            
               Additional requirements concerning cab strength, tyre-pressure monitoring, advanced emergency braking, lane departure warning, gear shift indicator and electronic stability control set out in Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 are not incorporated in the table in Annex I, but should still apply for the purposes of type-approval.
            
         
               (13)
            
            
               The list of UNECE regulations which apply on a compulsory basis in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 is updated frequently to reflect the current situation concerning amendments made to the respective UNECE regulations.
            
         
               (14)
            
            
               That list should be complemented with information clarifying under what conditions existing EC type-approvals granted on the basis of Directives repealed by Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 continue to be valid for certain vehicles, components and separate technical units.
            
         
               (15)
            
            
               Commission Regulation (EU) No 1003/2010 (7) concerning the space for mounting and the fixing of rear registration plates needs to be revised to take account of specific vehicle designs.
            
         
               (16)
            
            
               Commission Regulation (EU) No 109/2011 (8) concerning spray suppression systems needs to be amended to update the reference to the Commission Regulation on wheel guards as well as the latter being applicable for additional vehicle categories.
            
         
               (17)
            
            
               Commission Regulation (EU) No 458/2011 (9) concerning the installation of tyres needs to be adapted to technical progress concerning the optional spare wheel for N1 category vehicles laid down in UNECE Regulation No 64 (10).
            
         
               (18)
            
            
               Two items in Annex XI to Directive 2007/46/EC listing regulatory acts for special purpose vehicles need to be revised with respect to vehicle sound level requirements so as to bring the applicable requirements back in conformity with provisions that were applied previously.
            
         
               (19)
            
            
               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Technical Committee — Motor Vehicles,

               Notes to the table:
            
            The transitional provisions of the UNECE regulations listed in this table apply, except where specific alternative dates are provided for in this Regulation. Compliance with prescriptions in accordance with subsequent amendments to those listed in this table shall also be accepted.
            The dates specified in the UNECE regulations listed in this table, as regards the obligations of Contracting Parties to the “Revised 1958 Agreement” (Council Decision of 27 November 1997 with a view to accession by the European Community 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 be used on wheeled vehicles and the conditions for reciprocal recognition of approvals granted on the basis of these prescriptions (“Revised 1958 Agreement”) (OJ L 346, 17.12.1997, p. 78).), linked to first registration, entry into service, making available on the market, sale, and any similar provisions, apply on a compulsory basis for the purposes of Articles 26 and 28 of Directive 2007/46/EC except in the case where alternative dates are specified in Regulation (EC) No 661/2009, which should then be taken instead.
            In certain instances, a UNECE regulation listed in this table provides in its transitional provisions that as from a specified date, Contracting Parties to the “Revised 1958 Agreement”, applying a certain series of amendments to that UNECE regulation, shall not be obliged to accept or may refuse to accept, for the purpose of national or regional type-approval, a type approved in accordance with a preceding series of amendments, or wording with similar intention and meaning. This shall be construed as a binding provision for national authorities to consider the certificates of conformity to be no longer valid for the purposes of Article 26 of Directive 2007/46/EC, except in the case where alternative dates are specified in Regulation (EC) No 661/2009, which should then be taken instead.
            
                        (a)
                     
                     
                        UNECE Regulation Nos 1, 8 and 20 are not applicable for EC type-approval of new vehicles.
                     
                  
                        (b)
                     
                     
                        The fitting of an electronic stability control system is required in accordance with Article 12(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 661/2009. Therefore, the application of Annex 21 to UNECE Regulation No 13 is mandatory for the purposes of EC type-approval of new types of vehicles as well as for registration, sale and entry into service of new vehicles. However, the implementation dates concerning electronic stability control systems mentioned in Article 13(1), (4) and (5) as well as Annex V this Regulation shall apply instead of the dates mentioned in that UNECE Regulation.
                     
                  
                        (c)
                     
                     
                        The fitting of an electronic stability control system is required in accordance with Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 661/2009. Therefore, the application of Part A of Annex 9 to UNECE Regulation No 13-H is mandatory for the purposes of EC type-approval of new types of vehicles as well as for registration, sale and entry into service of new vehicles. However, the implementation dates concerning electronic stability control systems mentioned in Article 13(1) and (5) of this Regulation shall apply instead of the dates mentioned in that UNECE Regulation.
                     
                  
                        (d)
                     
                     
                        A safety-belt reminder is not required for a driver position equipped with an S-type belt or Harness belt.
                     
                  
                        (e)
                     
                     
                        Compliance with Part II of UNECE Regulation No 34 is not compulsory.
                     
                  
                        (f)
                     
                     
                        Where it is declared by the vehicle manufacturer that a vehicle is suitable for towing loads (point 2.11.5 of Annex I to Directive 2007/46/EC), no mechanical coupling device fitted to the vehicle shall (partly) obscure any lighting component (e.g. rear fog lamp) or the space for mounting and the fixing of the rear registration plate, unless the installed mechanical coupling device can be removed or repositioned without the use of any tools, including release keys.
                     
                  
                        (g)
                     
                     
                        Only Speed Limitation Devices (SLD) and the mandatory installation of SLD on vehicles of category M2, M3, N2 and N3 are concerned.

                                          This Appendix does not apply to type-approvals granted in accordance with UNECE Regulations listed in Annex IV, as the relevant arrangements of approval marks are provided for in the respective UNECE Regulations. However, this Appendix applies to EC component and separate technical unit type-approvals granted under Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 which are based on UNECE Regulations (i.e. components or separate technical units incorporating new technologies). In this case, the following arrangement of markings is applied:
                                          The distinguishing type-approval marking shall be as prescribed in the relevant UNECE Regulation and as if granted through conventional UNECE Regulation type-approval, however, the following shall be taken into account:
                                          When a circle surrounding the letter “E” is prescribed, this shall be not a circle, but a rectangle. Its height (a) shall at least correspond to the prescribed diameter size and its width shall exceed that value (i.e. > a). Instead of the upper-case letter “E”, the lower-case letter “e” shall be used, followed by the distinguishing number of the Member State which has granted the EC component or separate technical unit type-approval.
                                          
                                             Example:
