( Based on Annex II of the Directive)
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 Point 2.8 of Annex I.)
1. Category M
Motor vehicles with at least four wheels designed and constructed for
the carriage of passengers.
Category M 1
Vehicles designed and constructed for the carriage of passengers
and comprising no more than eight seats in addition to the driver's seat.
Category M 2
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 5t.
Category M 3
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 5t.
The types of bodywork and codifications pertinent to vehicles of Category M are defined in Part
C of this Annex Paragraph 1 (vehicles of Category M 1 ) and Paragraph 2 (vehicles of Categories
M 2 and M 3 ) to be used for the purpose specified in that Part.
2. Category N
Motor vehicles with at least four wheels designed and constructed for
the carriage of goods.
Category N 1
Vehicles designed and constructed for the carriage of goods and
having a maximum mass not exceeding 3,5t.
Category N 2
Vehicles designed and constructed for the carriage of goods and
having a maximum mass exceeding 3,5t but not exceeding 12t.
Category N 3
Vehicles designed and constructed for the carriage of goods and
having a maximum mass exceeding 12t.
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 vehicle's own load.
The types of bodywork and codifications pertinent to vehicles of Category N are defined in Part
C of this Annex Paragraph 3 to be used for the purpose specified in that Part.

0. CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION
Conformity of production to ensure conformity to the approved type including assessment of
quality management systems referenced below as initial assessment (1)1 and verification of the
approval subject and product related controls referenced below as product conformity
arrangements.
1. INITIAL ASSESSMENT
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 requirement in Point 1.1 must 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, taking account, as necessary, of one of the
arrangements described in Points 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 may be
carried out by the EC type-approval authority granting EC type-approval or a technical service
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 Point 1.2.3, 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, Point 7.3 'Customer satisfaction and continual
improvement'.
Guidance on the planning and conduct of assessment is to be found in harmonised standard ISO 10011,
Parts 1, 2 and 3,1991.

Schedule XIV
(Based on Annex XIV of the Directive)
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 separate Directives 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 relevant separate Directive EC type-approvals are applicable to the
appropriate standard in the separate Directive;
(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/or the approval certificates of the relevant separate Directive
EC type-approvals; 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 separate
Directives, 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 separate Directive EC type-approvals;
(e)
carry out or arrange to be carried out relevant installation checks in respect of separate
technical units where applicable.
