DEFINITION OF VEHICLE CATEGORIES AND VEHICLE
TYPES A.
THE VEHICLE CATEGORIES ARE DEFINED AS
FOLLOWS
1. Category T: Wheeled Tractors
Category T1: wheeled tractors 1 with a maximum design speed of not more than 40
km/h, with the closest axle to the driver having a minimum track width of not less than1
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
runningorder, of more than 600 kg and with a ground clearance of 2 not more than 600
mm. However, where the height of the centre of gravity of the tractor (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 toC5 are defined by analogy with Categories T1 to T5.
1 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) Pending the adoption of Directives on tyres, stability and rear protective structures, the absence of a separate
Directive on this does not prevent the granting of the whole vehicle type-approval. (2) For EC type-approval to be
granted, the brackets must be removed. (3) The minimum number of anchorage points required for tractors of
categories T1, T2, T3, C1, C2 and C3 is two, established in Annex I, Appendix 1 to Directive 76/115/EEC for
forward facing centre seats of vehicle category N 3 . The test loads laid down in points 5.4.3. and 5.4.4. of Annex I
of that directive for vehicles of category N 3 shall apply to those tractor categories.

EC type-approval certificates shall be numbered in accordance with the method described
The approval number consists of four parts where complete vehicles are approved and
1. 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.
a lower-case letter 'e' followed by the distinguishing number of the
Member State which has granted the approval

In the case of vehicles approvals, this is the most recent Directive
that amends an (some) Article(s) of Directive 2003/37/EC.
In the case of approvals under separate Directives, this is the most
recent Directive containing specific provisions to which the system,
component or separate technical unit is to conform.
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.
four-digit sequential number (with leading zeros as applicable) to
denote the base approval number. The sequence shall start from
0001 for each base Directive.
two-digit sequential number (with leading zero if applicable) to
denote the extension. The sequence shall start from 00 for each
base approval number.
Where a vehicle is approved, Section 2 shall be omitted.
2. Section 5 is to be omitted solely from the statutory plate(s).
