                                EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
I. Background and Objectives of the Proposal.
In accordance with     the General    Programme   for the Elimination of     Technical
Barriers to Trade of 1969, 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 was    issued    In February   1970. The central   objective    was  to
establish a system whereby a vehicle type which was approved           in one Member
State of   the   EEC as   being    In conformity   with  a complete  set  of   uniform
technical   requirements    should   be  eligible   for  free  trade  throughout    the
Community without any      further   testing.   The Directive   laid down   the   basic
principles and    the administrative procedures of the EEC Type-Approval.            It
also contained a complete       list of   the various characteristics, systems and
components of a vehicle which were to be covered by the requirements of 44 so-
called separate Directives.
The complete EEC Type-Approval procedure could only become applicable when all
of   these   44    separate    Directives    became    available.  However,    special
transitional   provisions of Directive 70/156 (Article 10) allowed        the use of
the separate Directives already       in existence.    Thus it was possible    to gain
experience with the growing number of EEC requirements in the framework of the
familiar national type-approval systems.
Now, as the Community approaches the completion of          its internal market, the
last of the 44 separate Directives - those on tyres, safety glass and weights
and dimensions are at an advanced stage          in the Community's decision making
process.   However,   it has become obvious that the administrative        procedures
laid down in Directive 70/156 also needed to be improved before the EEC Type-
Approval system could become fully operational.
Based on the thorough work of the Commission's expert group "Operation of EEC
Type-Approval (OTA)", the present proposal aims at a comprehensive revision of
Directive 70/156 in order to establish a feasible and transparent procedure.

11.   The Main Features of the Future Procedure.
Considerations of principle which were confirmed by high level consultations
with Member States and industry have permitted the identification of a number
of main features which the proposed amending Directive incorporates:
      -  As a logical consequence of the forthcoming Single Market, the new
         Directive is based on "total harmonization", i.e. the EEC type-
         approval requirements and procedures should be mandatory, and hence
         replace the national type-approval systems requirements which up to
         now have co-existed as an alternative option.
      -   The EEC type-approval procedure is, by definition, limited to the
         harmonization of the national type-approval systems i.e. vehicles
          reproduced and marketed in significant numbers and does not cover the
         national procedures for individual approvals, i.e. vehicles produced
          in very small numbers or as a unique product.
      -   The new procedure allows for  approval of vehicles, systems,
          components and separate technical units according to the relevant
          separate Directives.
      -   The new procedure allows for the type-approval of a whole vehicle to
          be achieved by the compilation of approvals of its constituent
          systems, components and separate technical units according to the
          relevant separate Directives, even when these separate approvals have
          been granted in different Member States.
      -   For the purpose of achieving the type-approval of a whole vehicle, it
          is possible to make use of international regulations issued on the
          basis of the 1958 Agreement on mutual recognition of approvals of
          automotive parts and components of the United Nations Economic
          Commission for Europe in place of the corresponding separate
          Directives, if these Regulations are recognised by the Community as
          being equivalent.
 ---pagebreak---                                     - 4 -
Adherence to these principles determines, of course, both the structure and
the individual provisions of the new Directive.    In particular, the fact that
the EEC system is intended to replace the national type approval systems has a
number of consequences.   In the future, only one of the twelve EC Member
States will need to carry out the full type-approval process.    In all other
Member States the vehicles of this type can be presented at the registration
offices and can be registered on the basis of their EEC certificate of
conformi ty.
 It appears obvious that such a system will have to rely on considerable mutual
trust between the authorities involved.    Therefore the procedures to be
followed have been carefully established in order to ensure the necessary
transparency.   The responsibilities of all parties involved in the approvals
process have been clearly defined.
Provisions have been made for safeguards . Member States will have the right
to refuse the approval of a vehicle type which complies perfectly with the
requirements of all the separate Directives but appears nevertheless to
constitute a risk to road safety.    Equally, Member States will be able to
refuse, under certain conditions, the sale and registration of vehicles which
are accompanied by valid certificates of conformity, but which demonstrably
present a risk to road safety.
The newly offered possibility of obtaining the approval of a whole vehicle
type by compiling the approvals of its systems and components requires a
careful definition of the relevant procedures.    An authority may have, in the
 future, to grant a whole vehicle type-approval solely on the basis of separate
directive approvals without carrying out a single system or component test of
 their own.
Because of these features the future EEC type-approval procedure needs to be
based on a certain amount of documentation - papers which pass from one
 authority to another In order to assure adequate information, and thus
generate the aforementioned mutual trust, which is a prerequisite for the
 functioning of the proposed procedure.
 ---pagebreak---                                     - 5 -
Particular attention has been paid to the question of the responsibility for
controlling the conformity of production.   Each authority involved in a
"compiled" whole vehicle approval has a clearly defined responsibility for
assuring the production conformity of the systems, components etc. it has
approved.
The EEC type-approval  is not considered to be an end in itself.   In order to
comply with its objective of achieving free trade with motor vehicles in the
future single market, it will assure unhindered registration of vehicles
purchased by European citizens.   It is clearly not the rôle of the proposed
Directive to harmonize the national registration procedures.   However, the EEC
type approval has to generate all the Information required by the different
Member States for identification of a vehicle and for other purposes (e.g.
taxation).  This information will be contained in the "Certificate of
Conformity" which constitutes the interface between the EEC type-approval
system and the as yet non-harmonised national registration systems.
 III. Detailed description of some essential aspects of the Directive:
1) Administrative Provisions and Definitions (Art. 1 to 7 ) .
The provisions referring to the actual type-approval process   including
registration and entry  into service,  are so conceived that they apply to all
vehicles irrespective of the category to which they belong.   Definitions and
provisions which pertain specifically to certain categories of vehicles are
placed in the Annexes.   The reason is that, at present, only the
specifications for vehicles in category M1, i.e. passenger cars, have been
completed.   This layout allows the Directive to be completed progressively as
the specifications for the other vehicle categories become available.
The definitions of the Directive have been adapted to the intended flexibility
of the future EEC type-approval procedure.   The definition of a vehicle type
also allows the manufacturer to specify variants and versions of this type.
Equally, provisions have been made for the definitions necessary for the
approval of "multi-stage" built vehicles (i.e. vehicles which are subject to
successive vehicle type-approvals, the typical example being the motor caravan
where in a first stage the combination of chassis + engine is type-approved
and the variants of bodywork and additional equipment at a later s t a g e ) .
 ---pagebreak---                                     - 6 -
2) Exemptions (Art. 8 ) .
The EEC type-approval of a vehicle requires compliance with the full set of 44
Separate Directives.    Four cases have been identified where this is either not
technically possible or is not Justified:
       -  1) Vehicles Intended for public policy and non-civil uses (armed
          forces, civil defence, fire services, and forces maintaining public
          order).   These vehicles are not subject to EEC type-approval but will
          have to be approved by the authorities ordering and using them.
       -  2) Vehicles built for special purposes, which prevent them from
          meeting all the requirements of the Separate Directives (e.g. certain
          municipal vehicles).    A special annexe sets out the requirements
          which these vehicles have to meet    in order to get a full, i.e.
          unrestricted, EEC type-approval.
       -  3) Vehicles featuring new technologies or concepts for which there
          are no provisions in any of the separate Directives.     If such
          vehicles meet certain well-defined conditions they are granted an EEC
          type-approval, the validity of which is, however, normally limited in
          t ime.
       -  4) Vehicles produced in smalI ser ies.    Such vehicles will get a type-
          approval which is restricted to the Member State which has granted
           it.  Where exemptions are granted from the requirements of the
          separate Directives, the national authorities may require relevant
          alternative requirements.     If the manufacturer so wishes, other
          Member States may decide to accept such approvals for their
          territories.    The volume of a small series is defined for each
          vehicle category in a specific annexe.
3) Acceptance of Equivalent Approvals (Art. 9 ) .
An important feature of the future EEC type-approval procedure is that system,
component and separate technical unit approvals based on international or
 third country regulations can be accepted under certain conditions in place of
 ---pagebreak---                                     - 7
separate Directive approvals.    The conditions are equivalence and the
existence of multi-lateral or bilateral agreements between the EC and the
international organisation or third country concerned.      The latter condition
is an aspect of the external trade policy of the EC, and hence refers to the
relevant provisions of the Treaty.
4) Conformity of Production Arrangements (Art. 10 and 11).
As already stated, the principle of this Directive is that each authority
granting an approval for a vehicle, system, component or technical unit is and
remains responsible for ensuring the conformity of production during the whole
period of validity of the approval.     The Directive provides for the Member
States to take appropriate measures at 2 stages:
       -  Before grant ing approval the authorities verify that adequate
          arrangements for ensuring conformity of production have been taken by
          the applicant.   This is deemed to be achieved if the manufacturer
          demonstrates compliance with EN standard 29002 or equivalent
          standards.
       -  After having granted approval the authorities verify that the
          arrangements of the manufacturer continue to be adequate.      This
          verification will be carried out in accordance with the procedures
          set out in annex 'X' of the Directive, and, where appropriate, with
          specific provisions of the separate Directives.      It may be carried
          out at the level of the manufacturers' technical equipment and
          control programmes, but may also be extended to the actual testing of
          selected production samples.
5) Adaptation to Technical Progress (Art. 13 and 14).
 In the framework of the competences conferred upon it by the Council, the
Commission assumes the responsibility for the adaptation to technical progress
of the requirements which are specified in the Annexes to the present
Directive and of the provisions of the separate Directives In order to
simplify and speed up this procedure,      it is proposed that the Commission be
assisted by a Committee of an advisory nature composed of the representatives
of the Member States in accordance with Article 2, Procedure I, of the Council
Decision 87/373 of 13 July 1987.
 ---pagebreak---                                  - 8 -
6) Notification of Approval Authorities and Technical Services (Art. 15).
Application of the Directive lies within the competence of the Member States.
In order to ensure the necessary transparency of the new system, they notify
each other and the Commission the author It les which they declare competent for
the administrative aspects of the type-approval procedure, as well as the
technical services, i.e. the laboratories to which they entrust the actual
carrying out of the tests required by the separate Directives.
These technical services will have to comply with certain quality criteria
concerning both their personnel and their equipment.    Reference is therefore
made to the harmonized standards of the EN 45000 series, which will ensure the
desired flexibility for the Member States.    As provided for in these CEN
standards, the accredited technical services may also use equipment    in other
test laboratories, in agreement with the competent authorities concerned.
7) Transitional Provisions (Art. II).
In order to achieve its rôle In the Single Market, it is proposed that the
provisions of this Directive apply from 1 January 1993 (Art. II, 1 ) .
In its present form the Directive is only applicable to passenger cars
("Category M-| vehicles) at this date.   It is proposed to maintain the
transitional provisions of Directive 70/156, i.e. Article 10 thereof, for all
other vehicle categories until the specific provisions necessary for granting
them an EEC type-approval have been introduced in the Annexes of this
Directive.   In the meantime, this proposal allows manufacturers of such
vehicles to take advantage of the relevant separate Directives as at present,
in order to obtain national type-approvals (Art. II, 2 ) .
 In order to allow for a smooth transition from the present regime based on
optional EEC requirements to the proposed mandatory EEC type-approval system,
and to gain experience with this new system, it is proposed that this
Directive be applied until 31 December 1995 on a non-mandatory basis, i.e.
exclusively when so requested by the party which applies for type-approval.
 ---pagebreak---                                  - 9 -
During this transitional period of three years the manufacturer can, as at
present, opt for national type-approval, in accordance with the provisions of
Article 10 of Directive 70/156 (Article II, 3 ) .
For the same reasons, it is proposed that national type-approvals which have
been granted before  1 January 1996 should remain valid until 31 December 1997
(Art. I 1, 4 ) .
The aforementioned provisions do not, however, permit Member States to
derogate from the provisions of any separate Directive which is already based
on total harmonization (e.g. the exhaust emission Directives) (Art. II, 5 ) .
IV.  Cone Ius Ions.
The Commission deems that the proposed Directive constitutes an important
element in achieving the internal market in the automobile sector where
technical and administrative barriers to trade will be eliminated.  The
substitution of the approval procedures of the 12 Member States by an EEC
type-approval procedure based on uniform technical requirements will lead to
the simplification and acceleration of the administrative procedures which the
manufacturers have to undergo in order to be able to market their products.
The directive will definitely suppress the necessity for manufacturers to
maintain technical variants in their products in order to comply with
differing national technical requirements and the obligation to go through a
type-approval procedure for a new type of vehicle in each Member State.

                                    Proposal for a
                                  COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
     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
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^1),
In cooperation with the European Par Iiarnent^2),
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee^ 3 ),
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   70/156/EEC^ 4 ),   as   last   amended   by  Directive
87/403/EEC(5)t    laid down the Community     type-approval procedure for vehicles,
components and separate technical units built in compliance with the technical
requirements    set out   in separate directives and also        the complete   list of
vehicle   systems, components    and   separate   technical   units   covered by   these
direct ives;

Whereas   in the interest of the establishment and operation of the internal
market of the Community       it appears appropriate to replace the existing type-
approval    systems   of    the   Member    States     by  the   Community   type-approval
procedure;
Whereas,    in order    that   the  said    type-approval     procedure may    achieve  its
objective    in the most     effective manner        it appears necessary     to make   its
administrative     provisions     more   precise      and  comprehensive;    whereas   this
 implies, inter alia. that these provisions allow for the type-approval of a
whole vehicle to be established by compilation of approvals of its constituent
systems,    components   and   separate    technical     units,   if the manufacturer    so
desires, and in the case of vehicles built in several stages involving several
manufacturers, by compilation of the approvals of the different                  stages of
complet ion;
Whereas    a vehicle may      comply   with    the provisions of      this  Directive   but
nevertheless have certain features which demonstrably present a potential risk
for road safety; whereas it is therefore desirable to allow the Member States
to refuse to approve such vehicle types as well as to prohibit the sale and
entry into service and refuse registration of the said vehicles; whereas for
the latter case appropriate conditions are established;
Whereas the mandatory nature of the Community type-approval procedure makes it
necessary    to allow for exemptions and          lay down alternative procedures for
vehicles either designed        for special purposes or built          in small series or
 incorporating   new   technologies     not   yet   covered   by   the provisions of    the
separate directives;
Whereas in order to facilitate the access to the markets of countries outside
the Community    it appears appropriate to allow, under certain conditions, for
the acceptance of system, component            and separate technical      unit   approvals
based   on   equivalent    international     and   third   country   regulations;   whereas
equivalence of such regulations is established in application of the relevant
provisions of the Treaty;
 ---pagebreak---                                            13 -
Whereas for the adaption to technical progress of the provisions contained in
the Annexes to the present Directive and in the separate directives it appears
appropriate to apply the procedure of the advisory committee established by
the Council Decision 87/373/EEC<6>;
Whereas in order to ensure the necessary transparency of the Community type-
approval procedures it is necessary to lay down provisions according to which
the Member States shall notify each other and the Commission of their approval
authorities  and    technical  services    as well    as  provisions   on  the  quality
criteria with which the latter have to comply;
Whereas  due   to   the   fact that   the   Annexes   to  the  present   Directive   are
complete  only   for  vehicles of    category    M-|, it  is applicable only     to the
type-approval of such vehicles; whereas it appears advisable that pending the
completion  of   the Annexes by provisions relating         to vehicles of   all other
categories, Member     States  should   be   allowed   to continue   to operate    their
national approval systems in relation to such vehicles in conformity with the
provisions of Article 10 of Directive 70/156/EEC;
Whereas, in order to allow for an adequate transition, both from the technical
and  administrative     points  of  view,    from   the  present  optional   regime   of
Community requirements to the mandatory type-approval procedure established by
the present Directive, it appears appropriate to leave the manufacturers the
option between the application of the procedure of the present Directive and
that provided for in Article 10 of Directive 70/156/EEC for a period of three
years; whereas approvals granted in application of the latter procedure should
remain valid until 31 December 1997;
Whereas the aforementioned transitional provisions are not meant to allow the
Member States to derogate from the provisions of separate directives which are
based on total harmonization,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

                                   ARTICLE 1
Directive 70/156/EEC is hereby amended as follows :
1. Articles 1 to 16 are replaced by the following Articles :
                                   "Article 1
                                      Scope
This Directive applies    to the  type-approval of motor   vehicles and  their
trailers built   in one or more stages, of systems, components and separate
technical units intended for use on such vehicles and trailers.
It does not apply to the approval of single vehicles except that Member States
granting such approvals shall accept any valid system, component, separate
technical unit or   incomplete vehicle approval granted under this Directive
instead of the relevant national requirement.
                                   Article 2
                                  Definitions
For the purpose of this Directive :
-  "type-approval" means the procedure whereby a Member State certifies that a
   type of vehicle, system, component or separate technical unit satisfies the
   relevant technical requirements of this Directive or a separate Directive
   contained in the exhaustive list set out in Annex IV or XI;
-   "multi-stage type-approval" means the procedure whereby one or more Member
   States certify that, depending on the state of completion, an incomplete or
   completed vehicle type satisfies the relevant technical     requirements of
   this Direct ive;
 ---pagebreak---                                     - 15 -
"vehicle" means any motor vehicle       intended for use on the road, being
complete or    incomplete, having at least four wheels and a maximum design
speed exceeding 25 km/h, and its trailers, with the exception of vehicles

                                    The type-approval process
    1. Each Member State shall grant :
       a) vehicle type-approval to :
          -   all vehicle types which conform to the particulars in the information
              folder and which meet the technical requirements of all the relevant
              separate Directives as prescribed in Annex IV,

2. However,     if   a Member      State   finds    that    a vehicle,      system,     component      or
   separate technical         unit which complies with the provisions of paragraph 1
   is, nevertheless, a serious risk to road safety, it may refuse to grant the
   type-approval.       It shall     forthwith     inform    the other Member        States and       the
   Commission thereof, stating the reasons on which its decision                        is based.
3. Each Member State shall complete all applicable sections of a type-approval
   certificate      (models for which are given            in Annex VI to this Directive and
    in an Annex     to each of the separate Directives) for each type of vehicle,
   system,     component     or   separate    technical      unit    which    it approves       and,   in
   addition,      shall     complete     the    relevant      sections     of    the    test     results
   attachment      to   the   vehicle    approval     certificate       (the   model    for   which     is
   given    in Annex VIII) and shall compile or verify the contents of the                          index
   to   the    information      package.    Approval     certificates       shall    be   numbered      in
   accordance       with     the    method    described       in    Annex     VII.    The     completed
   certificate and its attachments shall be delivered to the applicant.
4. Where the component or the separate technical                    unit   to be approved        fulfils
    its function or offers a specific               feature only       in conjunction with         other
   parts    of   the   vehicle     and   for   this    reason     compliance     with    one    or   more
   requirements can be verified only when the component or separate                           technical
   unit    to   be   approved     operates     in   conjunction      with    other    vehicle     parts,
   whether    real or simulated, the scope of the type-approval of the component
   or   the separate      technical     unit   must   be restricted        accordingly.      The   type-
   approval     certificate      for   a component      or   a separate       technical     unit   shall
    then   include any restrictions on its use and shall                  indicate any conditions
    for   fitting    it. Observance of        these restrictions         and conditions        shall    be
   verified at the time of type-approval of the vehicle.
5. The approval       authority of each Member State shall, within one month, send
    to   the   approval     authorities     of    the  other     Member    States     a  copy    of   the
    vehicle type-approval         certificate (together with            its attachments) for each
    vehicle type which        it has approved or refused to approve or withdrawn.

6. The   approval   authority  of each Member     State   shall   send   monthly    to the
   approval   authorities of    the other    Member  States   a   list   (containing   the
   particulars    shown   in Annex  XIII) of    the   system,   component    or   separate
   technical   unit   approvals  it has granted, refused        to grant    or  withdrawn
   during   that   month;   in addition,    on  receiving   an   application     from  the
   approval authority of another Member State, it shall send forthwith a copy
   of   the   system,    component   or   separate    technical     unit    type-approval
   certificate and/or     information package for each type of system, component
   or separate technical unit which       it has approved or refused to approve or
   wi thdrawn.

                               Amendments to approvals
1. The Member State which has granted type-approval must             take the necessary
   measures to ensure that      it  is informed of any change        in the particulars
   appearing in the information package.
2. The application for the amendment or extension of a type-approval shall be
   submitted exclusively to the Member State which granted the original type-
   approval .
3. In the case of system, component or separate technical unit approval, if
   particulars appearing in the information package have changed, the approval
   authority of the Member State in question shall :
       issue revised page(s) of the information package as necessary, marking
       each revised page to show clearly the nature of the change and the date
       of re-issue. On any occasion when revised pages are issued the index to
       the information package (which is attached to the approval            certificate)
       shall also be amended to show the latest dates of revised pages; and
       issue a revised approval certificate (denoted by an extension number) if
       any information on it (excluding its attachments) has changed or if the
       standards of the Directive have changed since the date currently on the
       approval. The    revised  certificate    shall   show clearly     the   reason  for
       revision and the date of re-issue.
 ---pagebreak---                                        - 21 -
If the approval     authority of the Member        State   in question   finds that an
amendment to an information package warrants fresh tests or checks it shall
inform   the manufacturer     thereof   and  issue the documents mentioned           above
only after the conduct of successful fresh tests or checks.
In   the   case   of   vehicle    approval,    if   particulars     appearing     in   the
information    package   have  changed,    the approval      authority  of   the Member
State in question shall :
    issue revised page(s) of the information package as necessary, marking
   each revised page to show clearly the nature of the change and the date
   of re-issue. On any occasion when revised pages are issued the index to
   the information package (which is attached to the approval              certificate)
   shall also be amended to show the latest dates of revised pages; and
    issue a revised approval certificate (denoted by an extension number) if
   either    further    inspections   are   required    or   any   information    on   the
   approval   certificate (excluding      its attachments) has changed or          if the
   standards of any of the separate Directives applicable to the date from
   which first entry into service is prohibited have changed since the date
   currently    on   the   vehicle   approval.    The   new   certificate   shall     show
   clearly the reason for extension and the date of re-issue.
If the approval     authority of the Member        State   in question   finds that an
amendment   to an    information package warrants        fresh   inspections    it shall
inform   the manufacturer     thereof   and  issue the documents mentioned           above
only   after   the   conduct   of   successful     fresh    inspections.   Any    revised
documents shall be sent to all other approval authorities within one month.
Where a vehicle type-approval       is no longer valid because one or more of the
separate Directive approvals referred to in its information package                  is no
longer valid the approval authority of the Member State which granted that
approval shall, within one month, communicate to the approval               authorities
of the other Member States the vehicle           identification number of the last
vehicle produced in conformity with the old certificate.

                               Certificate of conformity
1. The manufacturer, in his capacity as the holder of a vehicle type-approval,
   shall   issue a certificate of conformity          (models for which        are given   in
   Annex    IX), which     shall   accompany    each    vehicle,    whether     complete   or
   incomplete, manufactured      in conformity with the approved vehicle type. In
   the case of an incomplete or completed vehicle type, the manufacturer shall
   complete only those items on side 2 of the certificate of conformity which
   have   been  added   or   changed   at   the  current    stage   of  approval     and,  if

   the other Member States, request particulars not mentioned                in Annex   IX to
   be added to the certificate provided that such particulars are explicitly
   stated   in the   information package or can be derived from             it by a simple
   calculât ion.
3. The manufacturer,     in his capcity as the holder of a type-approval                for a
   component or separate technical unit shall affix to each component or unit
   manufactured   in conformity with the approved type the trade name or mark,

   marked, then that State may, for a maximum period of six months, refuse to
   register such vehicles or may prohibit the sale or entry              into service in
   its territory of such vehicles, components or separate technical units. It
   shall forthwith notify the other Member States and the Commission thereof,
   stating the reasons on which         its decision     is based.  If the Member State
   which granted type-approval disputes the risk to road safety notified to it
   the Member    States concerned      shall   endeavour    to settle  the dispute. The
   Commission    shall    be   kept   informed    and   shall,   where  necessary,   hold

2. Each Member State may, at the request of the manufacturer, exempt from one
   or more of the provisions of one or more of the separate Directives :
   a) vehicles produced in small series, in this case, the number of vehicles
      of a type per year registered            in that Member State shall be limited to
      not more    than the number of units shown             in Annex XII. Each year          the
      Member States shall send to the Commission a list of such approvals.
      The Member    State granting such an approval             shall   send a copy of        the
      approval certificate and its attachments to the approval authorities of
      the other    Member     States     designated   by   the manufacturer,      stating     the
      nature of exemptions which have been granted. Within three months these
      Member States shall decide whether, and for which number of units, they
      accept   the   type-approval        for  vehicles   to be    registered    within     their

      only   in so    far   as    they    are  deemed   to be    relevant   by   the    approval
      authority. Where an exemption            is granted   in accordance with this point
      a) the Member State may require a relevant alternative provision;
   b) vehicles    incorporating       technologies or     concepts which      cannot, due to
       their specific nature, comply with one or more of the requirements of
      one or more of the separate Directives. In this case, the Member State
      shall,   within     one    month,     inform   the   other    Member   States     of   such
      approvals    and    shall      forthwith    send    to    the    Commission     a    report
      containing :
          the reason why the technology or concept prevents the vehicle from
          complying    with    the     requirements    of  one   or   more  of   the    relevant
          separate Directives,
      -   a description of         the areas of safety       and environmental       protection
          concerned and the measures taken,
      -   a description      of    the   tests and    their   results   that   demonstrate at
          least an equivalent         level of safety and environmental         protection as
          is provided      by   the    requirements    of  one   or   more  of   the    relevant
          separate Directives,
      -   proposals for amendments to the relevant separate Directives or new
          separate Directive(s) as applicable.
      The Commission      shall,      in accordance with      the procedure      laid down      in
      Article 14, decide within 3 months whether or not to approve the report.

       If the Commission approves the report the Member State may issue a type-
       approval   in accordance with this Directive and the Commission will take
       the necessary     steps    to adapt    the separate    Directive(s) to which     the
       derogation was granted. The validity of such type-approval             is restricted
       to 24 months, but may be extended by the Commission upon request of the

       components or separate technical Units, as the case may be, in production
       conform to the approved type.
    2. A Member State which has granted a type-approval shall take the necessary
       measures in accordance with Annex X in relation to that approval to verify,
        if need be in cooperation with the approval authorities of the other Member
       States, that the arrangements referred to in paragraph               1 continue to be
       adequate    and  that   production     vehicles, systems, components      or   separate
       technical units, as the case may be, continue to conform to the approved
       type. Verification      to ensure that products conform         to the approved    type

If a Member      State which    has granted    type-approval    finds    that   vehicles,
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 to ensure           that vehicles,
components or separate technical units, as the case may be, in production
again conform to the approved type. The approval authorities of that Member
State shall advise those of the other Member States of the measures taken
which may, where necessary, extend to withdrawal of type-approval.
If   a  Member    State   demonstrates    that   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 request the Member
State which granted the type-approval to verify that vehicles, components
or separate technical units, as the case may be, in production conform to
the approved type. Such action shall be taken within six months of the date
of the request.
In the case of
-   vehicle    type-approval    where   the  non-conformity     of   a  vehicle     arises
    exclusively from the non-conformity of a system, component or separate
    technical unit, or
-   multi-stage     type-approval    where    the   non-conformity     of   a   completed
    vehicle    arises    exclusively    from   the    non-conformity     of   a   system,
    component    or   separate   technical   unit    being  part    of  the    incomplete
    vehicle, or of the incomplete vehicle itself,
the   vehicle   approval    authority  shall    request   the Member    State(s) which
granted    any    relevant    system,   component,     separate    technical     unit   or
incomplete vehicle type-approval(s) to take the necessary action to ensure
that vehicles in production again conform to the approved type. Such action
shall be taken within six months of the date of the request, if necessary
in conjunction with the Member State making the request. Where a failure to
conform   is established, the approval authorities of the Member State which
granted the system, component or separate technical unit type-approval or
the approval of the incomplete vehicle shall take the measures set out in
paragraph 2.

5. The  approval  authorities of    the Member   States   shall  inform   each  other
   within one month of any withdrawal of type-approval and of the reasons for
   such measure.
6. If the Member   State which granted     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 shall, where
   necessary, hold appropriate consultations for the purpose of           reaching a
   settlement.
                                     Article 12
                Notification of decisions and remedies available
All decisions taken pursuant to the provisions adopted         in implementation of
this   Directive  and   refusing   or   withdrawing   type-approval,    or   refusing
registration or prohibiting sale, shall state in detail the reasons on which
they are based. Any 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 States and of the time limits allowed for the
exercise of such remedies.

    States the names and addresses of :
    -  the type-approval    authorities and, if applicable, the disciplines for
       which the authorities are responsible, and
    -  the technical services which they have appointed, specifying for which
       test procedures each of these services has been appointed. The notified
       services   must  satisfy   the   harmonised  standards  on    the  operation of
       testing laboratories (EN 45001) subject to the following provisos :
       i)     a manufacturer cannot be accredited as a technical service except
              where the separate Directives make express provision;
       ii)    for   the   purposes   of   this   Directive  it    is   not   considered
              exceptional   for  a  technical   service  to use    outside   equipment,
              subject to the agreement of the approval authority.

DEFINITION OF VEHICLE CATEGORIES AND VEHICLE TYPES
Vehicle categories are defined according to the following
international classification :
Category M :       Motor vehicles having at least four wheels, or
                   having three wheels when the maximum mass
                   exceeds 1 tonne, and used for the carriage of
                   passengers.
- Category M-, :   Vehicles used for the carriage of passengers
                   and comprising no more than eight seats in
                   addition to the driver's seat.
- Category M 2 :   Vehicles used 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 M 3 :   Vehicles used 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.
Category N :       Motor vehicles having at least four wheels, or
                   having three wheels when the maximum mass
                   exceeds 1 tonne, and used for the carriage of
                   goods.
- Category N 1 :   Vehicles used for the carriage of goods and
                   having a maximum mass not exceeding 3.5
                   tonnes.
- Category N 2 :   Vehicles used for the carriage of goods and
                   having a maximum mass exceeding 3.5 but not
                   exceeding 12 tonnes.
- Category N 3 :   Vehicles used 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's own
 load.
Category 0 :       Trailers (including semi-trailers)
- Category 0^ :    Trailers with a maximum mass not exceeding
                   0.75 tonnes.
 ---pagebreak---                              - 64 -
     - Category 0 2 :    Trailers with a maximum mass exceeding 0.75
                         tonnes but not exceeding 3.5 tonnes-,
     - Cagegory O3:      Trailers with a maximum mass exceeding 3.5 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.

      tangential to the tyres of the front wheels and to the tyres of
      the rear wheels respectively, under a static load, the
      intersection of which touches the rigid underside of the vehicle
      apart from the wheels. This angle defines the steepest ramp over
      which the vehicle can pass.

4.5.4 "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.
4.5.5 "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.
      No rigid part of the vehicle may project into the shaded area of
      the diagram. Where appropriate, the ground clearance of several
      axles is indicated in accordance with their arrangement, for
      example 280/250/250.

   "Variant" of a type means vehicles within a type which do not
   differ in at least the following essential respects :
   - body style (e.g. saloon, hatchback, coupe, cabriolet, wagon,
     etc.)
   - power plant :
      . working principle (as in item 3.2.1.1. of Annex III)
      . number and arrangement of cylinders
      . power differences of more than 30% (the highest is more than
        1.3 t imes the lowest)
      . capacity differences of more than 20% (the highest is more
        than 1.2 times the lowest)
   - powered axles (number, position, interconnection)
   - steered axles (number and position).
   "Version" of a variant means vehicles which consist of permitted
   combinations of items shown in the information package in
   accordance with Annex III.

                                   ANNEX X
                     CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION PROCEDURES
1.     INITIAL ASSESSMENT
1.1.   The approval authority of a Member State shall verify - before
       granting 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.
1.2.   The requirement in paragraph 1.1. shall be verified to the
       satisfaction of the authority granting type-approval but may also be
       verified, on behalf of the authority granting type-approval, by the
       approval authority of another Member State. In that case, the latter
       approval authority shall prepare a statement of compliance outlining
       the areas and production facilities it has covered as relevant to the
       product(s) to be type approved.
1.3.   The approval authority shall also accept the manufacturer's
       registration to harmonised standard EN 29002 (whose scope covers the
       product(s) to be approved) or an equivalent accreditation standard as
       satisfying the requirements of paragraph 1.1. The manufacturer shall
       provide details of the registration and undertake to inform the
       approval authority of any revisions to its validity or scope.
1.4.   On receiving an application from the authority of another Member
       State, the approval authority shall send forthwith the statement of
       compliance mentioned in the last sentence of paragraph 1.2. or advise
       that it is not in a position to provide such a statement.
2.     CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION
2.1.   Every vehicle, system, component or separate technical unit(s)
       approved under this Directive or a separate Directive shall be so
       manufactured as to conform to the type approved by meeting the
       requirements of this Directive or a separate Directive contained in
       the exhaustive list set out in Annex IV or XI.
2.2.   The approval authority of a Member State, granting a type-approval
       shall 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.
2.3.   The holder of the approval shall, in particular :
2.3.1. Ensure the existence of procedures for effective control of the
       conformity of products (vehicles, systems, components or separate
       technical units) to the type-approval.
 ---pagebreak---                                     - 91 -
2.3.2. Have access to the testing equipment necessary for checking the
       conformity to each approved type.
2.3.3. Ensure that test results data are recorded and that annexed documents
       remain available for a period to be determined in agreement with the
       approval authority. This period shall not be greater than 10 years.
2.3.4. Analyse the results of each type of test, 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 contained in the exhaustive list set out in Annex IV or XI,
       are carr ied out.
2.3.6. Ensure that any set of samples or test pieces, giving evidence of
       non conformity in the type of test in question shall give rise to a
       further sampling and test. All the necessary steps shall be taken to
       restore conformity of the corresponding production.
2.3.7. In the case of vehicle approval, the checks referred to in 2.3.5.
       shall be restricted to those verifying the correct build specification
       in relation to the approval certification.
2.4.   The authority which has granted type-approval may at any time verify
       the conformity control methods applied in each production facility.
       The normal frequency of these verifications shall respect the
       arrangements (if any) accepted under paragraph 1.2. or 1.3. of this
       Annex and ensure that the relevant controls are reviewed over a period
       appropriate to the confidence established by the approval authority.
2.4.1. At every inspection, the test records and production records shall be
       made available to the visiting inspector.
2.4.2. 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 so provides). The
       minimum number of samples may be determined according to the results
       of the manufacturer's own verification.
2.4.3. Where the level of control appears unsatisfactory, or when it seems
       necessary to verify the validity of the tests carried out in
       application of item 2.4.2., the inspector shall select samples to be
       sent to the technical service which conducted the type-approval tests.
2.4.4. The approval authority may carry out any check or test prescribed in
       this Directive or in the applicable separate Directives contained in
       the exhaustive list set out in Annex IV or XI.
2.4.5.  In cases where unsatisfactory results are found during an inspection,
       the approval authority shall ensure that all necessary steps are
       taken to restore conformity of production as rapidly as possible.
