and having a maximum mass exceeding 3,5 tonnes but not

exceeding 12 tonnes.

Vehicles designed and constructed 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 own load.

The types of bodywork and codifications pertinent to the vehicles of category N

are defined in Part C of this Schedule, paragraph 3, to be used for the

purpose specified in that Part.

3. Category O

Trailers (including semi-trailers).

not exceeding 3,5 tonnes.

Category O 3

Trailers with a maximum mass exceeding 3,5 tonnes but

not exceeding 10 tonnes.

Category O 4

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.

The types of bodywork and codifications pertinent to the vehicles of category O

are defined in Part C of this Schedule, paragraph 4, to be used for the

purpose specified in that Part.

4. Off-road vehicles (symbol G)

simultaneously, including vehicles where the drive to one axle can be

disengaged,

there is at least one differential locking mechanism or at least one

mechanism having a similar effect,

they can climb a 25% gradient calculated for a solo vehicle.

Vehicles in category M 3 with a maximum mass exceeding 12 tonnes or in

category N 3 are to be considered to be off-road vehicles either if the wheels

are designed to be driven simultaneously, including vehicles where the drive

to one axle can be disengaged, or if the following requirements are

satisfied

at least half the wheels are driven,

there is at least one differential locking mechanism or at least one

mechanism having a similar effect,

they can climb a 25% gradient calculated for a solo vehicle,

at least four of the following six requirements are satisfied

-

the approach angle must be at least 25 degrees,

-

the departure angle must be at least 25 degrees,

-

4.4.2. Motor vehicles other than those referred to in 4.4.1 must be loaded to the

technically permissible maximum mass stated by the manufacturer.

4.4.3. The ability to climb the required gradients (25% and 30%) is verified by

simple calculation. In exceptional cases, however, the technical services may

ask for a vehicle of the type concerned to be submitted to it for an actual test.

4.4.4. When measuring approach and departure angles and ramp angles, no

account is taken of underrun protective devices.

‘Definitions and sketches of ground clearance. (For definitions of approach

angle, departure angle, ramp angle, see Schedule I, footnotes ( na ), ( nb ) and

( nc )).

4.5.1. ‘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.

4.5.2. ‘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 to 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.

Appendix 2

Procedure for the assessment of the technical services

1. PURPOSE OF THIS APPENDIX

This Appendix establishes the conditions according to which the assessment

procedure of the technical services should be conducted by the competent authority

referred to in regulation 33.

These requirements shall apply mutatis mutandis to all technical services, irrespective

of their legal status (independent organization, manufacturer or approval authority

acting as technical service).

2. PRINCIPLES OF ASSESSING

Assessing is characterised by reliance on a number of principles

-

independance which is the basis for the impartiality and objectivity of

the conclusions,

-

an evidence-base approach which guarantees reliable and reproducible

conclusions.

Auditors must show trust and integrity, and must respect confidentiality and

discretion. They must report truthfully and accurately findings and conclusions.

3. SKILLS REQUIRED OF THE AUDITORS

3.1. The assessments may only be conducted by auditors having the technical and

administrative knowledge necessary for such purposes.

3.2. The auditors must have been trained specifically for assessment activities. In

addition, they must have the specific knowledge of the technical area in which the technical

service will exercise its activities.

3.3. Without prejudice to the provisions of paragraphs 3.1. and 3.2., the assessment

referred to in regulation 33(4) must be conducted by auditors independent of the activities

for which the assessment is conducted.

4. APPLICATION FOR DESIGNATION

4.1. A duly authorised representative of the applicant technical service must make a

formal application to the competent authority that includes the following

(a)

general features of the technical service, including corporate entity,

name, addresses, legal status and human and technical resources;

(b)

general information concerning the technical service such as its activities,

its relationship in a larger corporate entity if any, and addresses of all its physical

location(s) to be covered by the scope of designation;

(c)

an agreement to fulfil the requirements for designation and the other

obligations of the technical service as applicable in the relevant directives;

(d)

a description of the conformity assessment services that the technical

service undertakes in the framework of the applicable directives and a list of the

directives for which the technical service seeks designation, including limits of

capability where applicable;

(e)

a copy of the quality manual of the technical service.

4.2. The competent authority must review for adequacy the information supplied by

the technical service.

5. RESOURCE REVIEW

The competent authority must review its ability to carry out the assessment of the

technical service, in terms of its own policy, its competence and the availability of

suitable auditors and experts.

6. SUBCONTRACTING THE ASSESSMENT

The competent authority may subcontract parts of the assessment to another

designation authority or ask for support from technical experts provided by other

competent authorities. The subcontractors and experts have to be accepted by the

applicant technical service.

The competent authority must take into account accreditation certificates with

adequate scope in order to complete its global assessment of the technical service.

7. PREPARATION FOR ASSESSMENT

7.1. The competent authority must formally appoint an assessment team. The

former must ensure that the expertise brought to each assignment is appropriate. In

particular, the team as a whole

(a)

must have appropriate knowledge of the specific scope for which

designation is sought, and

(b)

must have understanding sufficient to make a reliable assessment of the

competence of the technical service to operate within its scope of designation.

7.2. The competent authority must clearly define the assignment given to the

assessment team. The task of the assessment team is to review the documents collected

from the applicant technical service and to conduct the on-site assessment.

7.3. The competent authority must agree, together with the technical service and the

assigned assessment team, to the date and schedule for the assessment. However, it remains

the responsibility of the competent authority to pursue a date that is in accordance with

the surveillance and reassessment plan.

7.4. The competent authority must ensure that the assessment team is provided with

the appropriate criteria documents, previous assessment records, and the relevant

documents and records of the technical service.

8. ON-SITE ASSESSMENT

The assessment team must conduct the assessment of the technical service at the

premises of the technical service from which one or more key activities are performed and,

where relevant, must perform witnessing at other selected locations where the technical

service operates.

9. ANALYSIS OF FINDINGS AND ASSESSMENT REPORT

9.1. The assessment team must analyse all relevant information and evidence

gathered during the document and record review and the on-site assessment. This analysis

must be sufficient to allow the team to determine the extent of competence and conformity of

the technical service with the requirements for designation.

9.2. The competent authority’s reporting procedures must ensure that the following

requirements are fulfilled.

9.2.1. A meeting must take place between the assessment team and the technical

service prior to leaving the site. At this meeting, the assessment team must provide a written

and/or oral report on its findings obtained from the analysis. An opportunity must be

provided for the technical service to ask questions about the findings, including non-

conformities, if any, and their basis.

9.2.2. A written report on the outcome of the assessment must be promptly brought

to the attention of the technical service. This assessment report must contain comments on

competence and conformity, and must identify non-conformities, if any, to be resolved in

order to conform to all of the requirements for designation.

9.2.3. The technical service must be invited to respond to the assessment report and

to describe the specific actions taken or planned to be taken, within a defined time, to

resolve any identified non-conformities.

9.3. The competent authority must ensure that the responses of the technical

service to resolve non-conformities are reviewed to see if the actions appear to be sufficient

and effective. If the technical service responses are found not to be sufficient, further

information must be requested. Additionally, evidence of effective implementation of

actions taken may be requested, or a follow-up assessment may be carried out to verify

effective implementation of corrective actions.

9.4. The assessment report must include, as a minimum

(a)

unique identification of the technical service;

(b)

date(s) of the on-site assessment;

(c)

name(s) of the auditors(s) and/or experts involved in the assessment;

(d)

unique identification of all premises assessed;

(e)

proposed scope of designation that was assessed;

(f)

a statement on the adequacy of the internal organisation and

procedures adopted by the technical service to give confidence in its competence, as

determined through its fulfilment of the requirements for designation;

(g)

information on the resolution of all non-conformities;

(h)

a recommendation of whether the applicant should be designated or

confirmed as technical service and, if so, the scope of designation.

10. GRANTING/CONFIRMING A DESIGNATION

10.1. The approval authority must, without undue delay, make the decision on

whether to grant, confirm or extend designation on the basis of the report(s) and any

other relevant information.

10.2. The approval authority must provide a certificate to the technical service. This

certificate must identify the following

(a)

the identity and logo of the approval authority;

(b)

the unique identity of the designated technical service;

(c)

the effective date of granting of designation and the expiry date;

(d)

a brief indication of or a reference to the scope of designation (applicable

directives, regulations or part of them);

(e)

a statement of conformity and a reference to the Directive.

11. REASSESSMENT AND SURVEILLANCE

11.1. Reassessment is similar to an initial assessment except that experience gained

during previous assessments must be taken into account. Surveillance on-site assessments

are less comprehensive than reassessments.

11.2. The competent authority must design its plan for reassessment and surveillance

of each designated technical service so that representative samples of the scope of

designation are assessed on a regular basis.

The interval between on-site assessments, whether reassessment or surveillance,

depends on the proven stability that the technical service has reached.

11.3. When, during surveillance or reassessments, non-conformities are identified,

the competent authority must define strict time limits for corrective actions to be

implemented.

11.4. When the corrective or improvement actions have not been taken within the

agreed timeframe or are not deemed to be sufficient, the competent authority must adopt

appropriate measures such as, conducting a further assessment, suspending/withdrawing

the designation for one or more of the activities for which the technical service has been

designated.

11.5. When the competent authority decides to suspend or withdraw the designation of

a technical service, it must inform the latter by registered mail. In any case, the competent

authority must adopt all the necessary measures to ensure the continuity of the activities

already undertaken by the technical service.

12. RECORDS ON DESIGNATED TECHNICAL SERVICES

12.1. The competent authority must maintain records on technical services to

demonstrate that requirements for designation, including competence, have been

effectively fulfilled.

12.2. The competent authority must keep the records on technical services secure to

ensure confidentiality.

12.3. Records on technical services must include at least

(a)

relevant correspondence;

(b)

assessment records and reports;

(c)

copies of designation certificates.

CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION PROCEDURES

0. OBJECTIVES

The conformity of production procedure aims to ensure that each produced

vehicle, system, component and technical separate unit is in conformity

with the approved type.

Procedures include inseparably, the assessment of quality management

systems, referred to below as the initial assessment ( 1 ) and verification of the

approval subject and product-related controls, and referred to as product

conformity arrangements.

1. INITIAL ASSESSMENT

1.1. 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 requirements in paragraph 1.1 shall 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 below, taking account, as

necessary, of one of the arrangements described at paragraphs 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 shall be carried out by the EC type-approval authority

granting the approval or an appointed body acting 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 paragraph 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, sub-

clause 7.3 ‘Customer Satisfaction and Continual Improvement’.

The actual initial assessment and/or verification of product conformity

arrangements may also be carried out by the EC type-approval authority

of another Member State or the appointed body designated for this purpose

by the EC type-approval authority. In that case, the EC type-approval

authority of the other Member State shall prepare a statement of

compliance outlining the areas and production facilities it has covered as

relevant to the product(s) to be EC type-approved and to the directive or

regulation according to which these products are to be approved ( 2 ). On

receiving an application for a compliance statement from the EC type-

approval authority of a Member State granting EC type-approval, the EC

type-approval authority of another Member State shall send forthwith the

statement of compliance or advise that it is not in a position to provide such

a statement. The statement of compliance should at least include

Group or company

(e.g. XYZ Automotive)

Particular organisation

(e.g. European Division)

Plants/Sites

(e.g. Engine Plant 1 (United Kingdom)

Vehicle Plant 2 (Germany))

Vehicle/Component range

(e.g. All Category M 1 models)

Areas assessed

(e.g. Engine assembly, body pressing and

assembly, vehicle assembly)

Documents examined

(e.g. Company and site quality manual and

procedures)

Assessment

(e.g. Conducted: 18-30.9.2001)

(e.g. Planned monitor visit: March 2002)

The EC type-approval authority must also accept the manufacturer’s

suitable certification to harmonised standard EN ISO 9002-1994 (whose

scope covers the locations of production and product(s) to be approved), or

EN ISO 9001-2000 with the permissible exclusion of the requirements

related to the concepts of design and development, sub-clause 7.3

‘Customer Satisfaction and Continual Improvement’, or an equivalent

harmonised standard as satisfying the initial assessment requirements of

paragraph 1.2. The manufacturer must provide details of the certification and

undertake to inform the EC type-approval authority of any revisions to its

validity or scope.

For the purpose of the whole vehicle EC type-approval, the initial

assessments carried out for granting of approvals for systems,

components and technical units of the vehicle need not be repeated, but shall

be completed by an assessment covering the locations and activities relating

to the assembly of the whole vehicle not covered by the former

assessments.

2. PRODUCT CONFORMITY ARRANGEMENTS

Every vehicle, system, component or separate technical unit approved

pursuant to the Directive or a separate directive or regulation must be so

manufactured as to conform to the type approved by meeting the

requirements of the Directive or a separate directive or regulation

contained in the complete list set out in Schedule IV or XI.

The EC type-approval authority of a Member State, at the time of

granting an EC type-approval, must 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 or regulations.

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

ensure the existence and application of procedures for effective control of

the conformity of products (vehicles, systems, components or separate

technical units) to the approved type;

have access to the testing or other appropriate equipment necessary for

checking the conformity to each approved type;

ensure that test or check results data are recorded and that annexed

documents remain available for a period to be determined in agreement

with the type-approval authority. This period is not required to exceed 10

years;

analyse the results of each type of test or check, in order to verify and

ensure the stability of the product characteristics, making allowance for

variation of an industrial production;

ensure that for each type of product, at least the checks prescribed in the

Directive and the tests prescribed in the applicable separate directives or

regulations contained in the complete list set out in Schedule IV or XI, are

carried out;

ensure that any set of samples or test pieces, giving evidence of non-

conformity in the type of test or check in question gives rise to a further

sampling and test or check. All the necessary steps shall be taken to restore

conformity of the corresponding production;

in the case of whole-vehicle EC type-approval, the checks referred to in

paragraph 2.3.5 are restricted to those verifying the correct build

specification in relation to the approval and especially to the information

document laid down in Schedule III and the information required for

certificates of conformity given in Schedule IX.

3. CONTINUED VERIFICATION ARRANGEMENTS

The authority which has granted EC type-approval may at any time verify

the conformity control methods applied in each production facility.

The normal arrangements shall be to monitor the continued effectiveness

of the procedures established at paragraph 1.2 (initial assessment and

product conformity) of this Schedule.

Surveillance activities carried out by a certification body (qualified or

recognised as required by paragraph 1.2.3) must be accepted as satisfying

the requirements of paragraph 3.1.1 with regard to the procedures

established at initial assessment (paragraph 1.2.3).

3.1.1.2. The normal frequency of verifications by the EC type-approval authority

(other than those at paragraph 3.1.1.1) shall be such as to ensure that the

relevant controls applied in accordance with Sections 1 and 2 of this

Schedule are reviewed over a period consistent with the climate of trust

established by the type-approval authority.

At every review, records of tests or checks and records of production shall

be made available to the inspector; in particular, records of those tests or

checks documented as required by paragraph 2.2.

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 or regulation so provides). The

minimum number of samples may be determined according to the results

of the manufacturer’s own verification.

Where the level of control appears unsatisfactory, or when it seems necessary

to verify the validity of the tests carried out in application of paragraph 3.2,

the inspector must select samples to be sent to the technical service which

conducted the EC type-approval tests.

In cases where unsatisfactory results are found during an inspection or a

monitoring review, the EC type-approval authority must ensure that all

necessary steps are taken to restore conformity of production as rapidly as

possible.

(1) Guidance on the planning and conduct of assessment is to be found in harmonised standard ISO 10011, Parts 1,

2 and 3, 1991.

(2) For example, the relevant separate directive or regulation, if the product to be approved is a system, component

or technical unit, and Directive 2007/46/EC if it is a whole vehicle.

Malta Government Gazette — Legal Notice 2009 148 — Regulations, 2009
Reg. 11 — Regulations, 2009 Open official source

(1) Compliance with the technical prescriptions laid Tests required

down in these regulations and in the regulatory acts listed in Schedule for

approval.

IV shall be demonstrated by means of appropriate tests performed by

designated technical services. The test procedures, the specific

equipment and tools necessary to perform those tests shall be

described in each of the regulatory acts.

(2) The required tests shall be performed on vehicles,

components and separate technical units which are representative of

the type to be approved. However, the manufacturer may select, in

agreement with the approval authority, a vehicle, a system, a

component or a separate technical unit which, while not

representative of the type to be approved, combines a number of the

most unfavourable features with regard to the required level of

performance. Virtual testing methods may be used to aid decision-

making during the selection process.

(3) As alternatives to the test procedures referred to in sub-

regulation (1) and with the agreement of the approval authority,

virtual testing methods may be used at the request of the

manufacturer with respect to the regulatory acts listed in Schedule

XVI.

(4) The general conditions which virtual testing methods must

fulfil are set out in Schedule XVI, Appendix 1. For each of the

regulatory acts listed in Schedule XVI, the specific testing conditions

and the administrative provisions related thereto shall be laid down in

Appendix 2 to that Schedule.

[Regulation 9(2)]

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 regulatory acts as prescribed in Schedules IV or 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 Schedule 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 EC type-approval certificates issued pursuant to the

regulatory acts which are applicable for vehicle type-approval cover the vehicle type

at its state of completion and correspond to the prescribed requirements;

(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 in the EC type-approval

certificates, in respect of the relevant regulatory acts; 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 regulatory acts, 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 regulatory acts;

(e)

carry out or arrange to be carried out relevant installation checks in

respect of separate technical units where applicable.

3. The number of vehicles to be inspected for the purposes of paragraph 2(d) must

be sufficient to permit the proper control of the various combinations to be EC type-

approved according to the state of completion of the vehicle and the following criteria

-

engine,

-

gearbox,

-

powered axles (number, position, interconnection),

-

steered axles (number and position),

-

body styles,

-

number of doors,

-

hand of drive,

-

number of seats,

-

level of equipment.

4. IDENTIFICATION OF THE VEHICLE

4.1. Vehicle identification number

(a) The identification number of the base vehicle (VIN) prescribed by Directive 76/

114/EEC shall be retained during all the subsequent stages of the type-approval process to

ensure the ‘traceability’ of the process.

(b) However, at the final stage of completion, the manufacturer concerned by this

stage may replace, in agreement with the approval authority, the first and second sections of

the vehicle identification number by his own vehicle manufacturer code and the vehicle

identification code if, and only if, the vehicle has to be registered under his own trade

name. In such a case, the complete vehicle identification number of the base vehicle shall

not be deleted.

4.2. Additional manufacturer’s plate

components or separate technical units. The Malta Transport

Authority may, for a maximum period of six months, refuse to

register such vehicles.

(2) In such cases, the approval authority shall immediately

notify the manufacturer, the other Member States and the

Commission accordingly, stating the reasons on which its decision is

based and, in particular, whether it is the result of

(i)

shortcomings in the relevant regulatory acts, or

(ii)

authority in Malta shall advise the approval authorities of the other

Member States of the measures taken.

(2) For the purposes of sub-regulation (1), deviations from the

particulars in the EC type-approval certificate or the information

package shall be deemed to constitute failure to conform to the

approved type. A vehicle shall not be deemed to deviate from the

approved type where tolerances are permitted by the relevant

regulatory acts and those tolerances are respected.

(3) If the approval authority demonstrates that new 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 ask the Member State which granted the EC

type-approval to verify that vehicles, systems, components or

separate technical units in production continue to conform to the

approved type. On receipt of such a request, the Member State

concerned shall, in conformity with the Directive, take the requisite

action as soon as possible and in any case within six months of the

date of the request.

(4) (a)

The approval authority shall request the Member

State which granted the system, component, separate technical unit or

incomplete vehicle type-approval to take the necessary action to

ensure that vehicles in production are brought back into conformity

with the approved type in the following cases

(i)

in relation to an EC vehicle type-approval, where the

non-conformity of a vehicle is attributable exclusively to the

non-conformity of a system, component or separate technical

unit;

(ii) in relation to a multi-stage type-approval, where the

non-conformity of a completed vehicle is attributable

exclusively to the non-conformity of a system, component or

separate technical unit being part of the incomplete vehicle, or

of the incomplete vehicle itself.

(b) On receipt of such a request, the Member State concerned

shall, in conformity with the Directive, take the requisite action, if

necessary in conjunction with the approval authority in Malta making

the request, as soon as possible and in any case within six months of

the date of the request. Where a failure to conform is established, the

the dispute. The Commission shall be kept informed and, where

necessary, shall hold appropriate consultations with a view to

reaching a settlement.

systems.

(2) Parts or equipment subject to authorisation in accordance

with sub-regulation (1) shall be inserted in the list to be established in

Schedule XIII. Such a decision shall be preceded by an evaluation

resulting in a report and strive for a fair balance between the

following elements

(a)

the existence of a serious risk to the safety or

environmental performance of vehicles fitted with the parts or

equipment under consideration; and

(b) the effect on consumers and manufacturers in the

after-market of the imposition under this regulation of a

possible authorisation requirement on the parts or equipment

under consideration.

(3) Sub-regulation (1) shall not apply to original parts or

equipment which are covered by a system type-approval with respect

to a vehicle and to parts or equipment which are type-approved in

accordance with the provisions of one of the regulatory acts listed in

Schedule IV, except where those approvals relate to aspects other than

those covered in sub-regulation (1). Sub-regulation (1) shall not apply

to parts or equipment exclusively produced for racing vehicles not

intended for use on public roads. If parts or equipment included in

Schedule XIII have a dual use for racing and on the road, these parts

or equipment may not be sold or offered for sale to the general public

for use in on-road vehicles unless they comply with the requirements

of this regulation.

(4) (a)

For the purposes of sub-regulation (1), the

manufacturer of parts or equipment shall submit to the approval

authority a test report drafted by a designated technical service which

certifies that the parts or equipment for which authorisation is sought

comply with the requirements of this regulation. The manufacturer

may introduce only one application per type per part with only one

approval authority. The application shall include details concerning

the manufacturer of the parts or equipment, the type, identification

and part numbers of the parts or equipment for which authorisation is

sought, as well as the vehicle manufacturer’s name, type of vehicle

and, if appropriate, years of construction or any other information

permitting the identification of the vehicle for which the fitting of

such parts or equipment is intended.

(b) When the approval authority is satisfied, taking account of

the test report and other evidence, that the parts or equipment in

question comply with the requirements it shall issue a certificate to

the manufacturer without unjustified delay. This certificate shall

authorise the parts or equipment to be sold, offered for sale or fitted to

vehicles in the Community subject to sub-regulation (7)(b).

(5) Each part or piece of equipment authorised in application

of this regulation shall be appropriately marked.

(6) (a)

The manufacturer shall inform without delay the

approval authority in Malta if the certificate was issued by the

approval authority in Malta of any change affecting the conditions

under which it was delivered. The approval authority in Malta shall

decide whether the certificate has to be reviewed or re-issued and

whether fresh tests are necessary.

(b) The manufacturer shall be responsible for ensuring that the

parts and equipment are produced and continue to be produced under

the conditions under which the certificate was issued.

(7) (a)

Before delivering any authorisation, the approval

authority shall verify the existence of satisfactory arrangements and

procedures for ensuring effective control of the conformity of

production.

(b) Where the approval authority finds that the conditions for

issuing the authorisation are no longer fulfilled, it shall request the

manufacturer to take the necessary measures to ensure that the parts

or equipment are brought back into conformity. If necessary, it shall

withdraw the authorisation.

(8) (a)

Any disagreement between Member States in

relation to the certificates referred to in sub-regulation (4) shall be

brought to the attention of the Commission.

(b) The Commission may, in conformity with the Directive,

take appropriate measures, including, where necessary, requiring the

withdrawal of the authorisation, after having consulted the Member

States.

(9) This regulation shall not be applicable to a part or piece of

equipment before it is listed in Schedule XIII. For any entry or group

of entries in Schedule XIII a reasonable transitional period shall be

fixed to allow the manufacturer of the part or equipment to apply for

and obtain an authorisation. At the same time a date may be fixed,

where appropriate, to exclude parts and equipment designed for

vehicles type-approved before that date from the application of this

regulation.

(10) (a)

As long as a decision as to whether or not a part or

piece of equipment is to be included in the list referred to in sub-

regulation (1) has not been taken, the Director may maintain national

provisions dealing with parts or equipment which are capable of

posing a significant risk to the correct functioning of systems that are

essential for the safety of the vehicle or its environmental

performance.

(b) Once such a decision in this regard has been taken, the

national provisions dealing with the parts or equipment in question

shall cease to be valid.

(11) The Director shall not adopt any new provisions dealing

with parts and equipment which can affect the correct functioning of

systems that are essential for the safety of the vehicle or its

environmental performance.

Member States without delay.

(3) If the measures are considered to be insufficient by the

authorities concerned or have not been implemented quickly enough,

they shall inform the approval authority that granted the EC vehicle

type-approval without delay. The approval authority shall then inform

the manufacturer. If the approval authority which granted the EC

type-approval is itself not satisfied with the measures of the

manufacturer, it shall take all protective measures required, including

the withdrawal of the EC vehicle type-approval where the

manufacturer does not propose and implement effective corrective

measures. In case of withdrawal of the EC vehicle type-approval, the

approval authority shall notify the manufacturer, the approval

authorities of the other Member States and the Commission by
