to as “the principal regulations”.

(2) These regulations implement the requirements of

Directive 2005#67#EC of 18 October 2005 which amends for the purpose

of adaptation, Annexes I and II to Directive 86#298#EEC, Annexes I

and II to Council Directive 87#402#EEC and Annexes I, II and III to

Directive 2003#37EC on the type-approval of agricultural or forestry

tractors, their trailers and interchangeable towed machinery, together

with their systems, components and separate technical units.

(3) These regulations have entered into force on 1 st January,

2006.

CHAPTER A

DEFINITION OF VEHICLE CATEGORIES AND VEHICLE TYPES A.

THE VEHICLE CATEGORIES ARE DEFINED AS FOLLOWS

1. Category T: Wheeled Tractors

Category T1: wheeled tractors with a maximum design speed of not more than 40 km/h,

with the closest axle to the driver 1 having a minimum track width of not less than

1 150 mm, with an unladen mass, in running order, of more than 600 kg, and with a

ground clearance of not more than 1 000 mm.

Category T2: wheeled tractors with a maximum design speed of not more than 40 km/h,

with a minimum track width of less than 1 150 mm, with an unladen mass, in running

order, of more than 600 kg and with a ground clearance of not more than

600 mm. However, where the height of the centre of gravity of the tractor 2 (measured in

relation to the ground) divided by the average minimum track for each axle exceeds 0.90,

the maximum design speed is restricted to 30 km/h.

Category T3: wheeled tractors with a maximum design speed of not more than 40 km/h,

and with an unladen mass, in running order, of not more than 600 kg.

Category T4: special purpose wheeled tractors with a maximum design speed of not more

than 40 km/h (as defined in Appendix1).

Category T5: wheeled tractors with a maximum design speed of more than 40 km/h.

2. Category C: Track-laying Tractors

Track-laying tractors that are propelled and steered by endless tracks and whose Categories C1 to

C5 are defined by analogy with Categories T1 to T5.

For reversible driver's position tractors (reversible seat and steering wheel), the closest axle to the driver to be considered must

be the one fitted with the biggest diameter tyres.

In accordance with Standard ISO 789—6: 1982

1. The approval number consists of four parts where complete vehicles are approved and

of five parts where systems, components and separate technical units are approved, in

accordance with the requirements set out below. Components and separate technical

units should be marked in accordance with the relevant separate Directives. In all

cases the sections are to be separated by an asterisk.

Where a Directive includes different dates of entry into force which

refer to different technical standards a letter of the alphabet is to be

added. This letter will identify the specific technical requirement on

the basis of which approval has been granted.

two-digit sequential number (with leading zero if applicable) to

denote the extension. The sequence shall start from 00 for each

base approval number.

2. Where a vehicle is approved, Section 2 shall be omitted.

Schedule IV

PROCEDURES TO ENSURE CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION

1. INITIAL ASSESSMENT

Before granting EC type-approval, the EC type-approval authority in a Member State shall

verify the existence of satisfactory arrangements and procedures for ensuring effective

checking that components, systems, separate technical units or vehicles in production conform

to the approved type.

The requirement in Paragraph 1.1 must be verified to the satisfaction of the authority granting

EC type-approval. This verification may be carried out on behalf of the authority granting

EC type-approval by the EC type-approval authority in another Member State. In this case, the

latter authority shall prepare a statement of compliance outlining the areas and production

facilities it considers to be relevant to the product(s) to be type-approved.

The EC type-approval authority shall accept the manufacturer's certification to harmonised

Standard EN ISO 9001: 2000 with the permissible exclusion of the requirements related to the

concepts of design and development, Paragraph 7.3. 'Customer satisfaction and continual

improvement' (the scope of which covers the product(s) to be type-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 authorities of any

amendments to its validity or scope.

On receiving a request from the authority of another Member State, the EC type-approval

authority shall forthwith send the statement of compliance referred to in Paragraph 1.2 or

advise that it is not in a position to provide such a statement.

2. CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION

Every vehicle, system, component or separate technical unit type-approved pursuant to this

Directive or a separate Directive must be so manufactured as to conform to the type approved

by meeting the requirements of this Directive or of a separate Directive appearing in the

exhaustive list set out in Annex II, Chapter B.

When granting EC type-approval, the EC type-approval authority in a Member State shall verify

the existence of adequate arrangements and documented control plans, to be agreed with the

manufacturer for each EG type-approval, for the carrying out at specified intervals of the tests

or associated checks that are needed to verify continued conformity to the approved type,

including, where applicable, tests required by the separate Directives.

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

ensure the existence of procedures for effectively monitoring that products (vehicles, systems,

components or separate technical units) conform to the EC type-approval;

have access to the testing equipment necessary for checking conformity to each approved

type;

ensure that test results are recorded and that the attachments remain available for a period to

be determined in agreement with the EC type-approval authority; this period shall not be

greater than 10 years;

Schedule V

A — SMALL SERIES LIMITS

The number of units within a type to be registered, placed on sale or put into service per year in each

Member State shall not exceed the value shown below for the vehicle category in question.
