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 item 2.8 of Schedule I.)
Motor vehicles with at least four wheels designed and
constructed for the carriage of passengers.
Vehicles designed and constructed for the carriage of passengers
and comprising no more than eight seats in addition to the
driver’s seat.
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 5
tonnes.
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 5 tonnes.
The types of bodywork and codifications pertinent to the vehicles of category M are
defined in Part C of this Schedule, 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
Motor vehicles with at least four wheels designed and
constructed for the carriage of goods.
Vehicles designed and constructed for the carriage of goods and
having a maximum mass not exceeding 3,5 tonnes.
Vehicles designed and constructed for the carriage of goods 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
Trailers (including semi-trailers).
Trailers with a maximum mass not exceeding 0,75 tonnes

exceeding 3,5 tonnes.
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

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
-
independence which is the basis for the impartiality and
objectivity of the conclusions,
-
an evidence-based approach which guarantees reliable and
reproducible conclusions.
Auditors must show trust and integrity. They shall respect
confidentiality and discretion. They must report truthfully and
accurately findings and conclusions.
3. SKILLS REQUIRED OF THE AUDITORS
The assessments may only be conducted by auditors having the
technical and administrative knowledge necessary for such purposes.
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.
Without prejudice to the provisions of paragraphs 3.1. and 3.2., the
assessment referred to in regulation 33(4) shall be conducted by
auditors independent of the activities for which the assessment is
conducted.
4. APPLICATION FOR DESIGNATION
A duly authorised representative of the applicant technical service shall
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;
EC TYPE-APPROVAL OF MOTOR VEHICLES
AND THEIR TRAILERS
(b)
a detailed description including curriculum vitae of the
personnel in charge of testing and of the managerial staff as
evidenced by the skills both educational and professional;
(c)
in addition to the above, technical services which use virtual
testing methods shall provide evidence of their ability to work in
a Computer-Aided-x environment;
(d)
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;
(e)
an agreement to fulfil the requirements for designation and the
other obligations of the technical service as applicable in the
relevant directives;
(f)
a description of the conformity assessment services that the
technical service undertakes in the framework of the applicable
regulatory acts and a list of the regulatory acts for which the
technical service applies for designation, including limits of
capability where applicable;
(g)
a copy of the quality manual of the technical service.
The competent authority shall review for adequacy the information
supplied by the technical service.
5. RESOURCE REVIEW
The competent authority shall 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
The competent authority must formally appoint an assessment team.
The former shall ensure that the expertise brought to each assignment is
appropriate. In particular, the team as a whole
(a)
shall have appropriate knowledge of the specific scope for which
designation is sought, and
(b)
shall have understanding sufficient to make a reliable
assessment of the competence of the technical service to operate
within its scope of designation.
The competent authority shall 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.
The competent authority shall 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.
The competent authority shall 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 shall 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, shall perform
witnessing at other selected locations where the technical service
operates.
9. ANALYSIS OF FINDINGS AND ASSESSMENT REPORT
The assessment team shall analyse all relevant information and
evidence gathered during the document and record review and the on-
site assessment. This analysis shall be sufficient to allow the team to
determine the extent of competence and conformity of the technical
service with the requirements for designation.
The competent authority’s reporting procedures shall ensure that the
following requirements are fulfilled.
A meeting shall take place between the assessment team and the
technical service prior to leaving the site. At this meeting, the
assessment team shall provide a written and/or oral report on its
findings obtained from the analysis. An opportunity shall be provided
for the technical service to ask questions about the findings, including
non-conformities, if any, and their basis.
A written report on the outcome of the assessment shall be promptly
brought to the attention of the technical service. This assessment report
shall contain comments on competence and conformity, and shall
identify non-conformities, if any, to be resolved in order to conform to
all of the requirements for designation.
The technical service shall 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.
The competent authority shall 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 shall 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.
The assessment report shall include, as a minimum, the following
(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
EC TYPE-APPROVAL OF MOTOR VEHICLES
AND THEIR TRAILERS
designation.
10. GRANTING/CONFIRMING A DESIGNATION
The approval authority shall, 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.
The approval authority shall provide a certificate to the technical
service. This certificate shall 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
Reassessment is similar to an initial assessment except that experience
gained during previous assessments shall be taken into account.
Surveillance on-site assessments are less comprehensive than
reassessments.
The competent authority shall 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.
When, during surveillance or reassessments, non-conformities are
identified, the competent authority shall define strict time limits for
corrective actions to be implemented.
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.
When the competent authority decides to suspend or withdraw the
designation of a technical service, it shall inform the latter by registered
mail. In any case, the competent authority shall adopt all the necessary
measures to ensure the continuity of the activities already undertaken
by the technical service.
12. RECORDS ON DESIGNATED TECHNICAL SERVICES
The competent authority shall maintain records on technical services to
demonstrate that requirements for designation, including competence,
have been effectively fulfilled.
The competent authority shall keep the records on technical services
secure to ensure confidentiality.
Records on technical services shall include at least the following
(a)
relevant correspondence;
(b)
assessment records and reports;
(c)
copies of destination certificates.

In case of EC type-approval for systems, components or separate
technical units covered by the implementing measures of Regulation
(EC) No 661/2009, the base Regulation reference shall be the
Regulation number (i.e. the implementing act) adopted pursuant to
Article 14(1)(a) to (e) of Regulation (EC) No 661/2009..
The number of the latest amending directive or regulation including
implementing acts applicable to the type-approval.
The number of the latest amending Directive or Regulation,
including implementing acts applicable to the type-approval in
accordance with the following indents. However, in case such
amending Directive or Regulation or applicable implementing
act does not yet exist, the number referred to in Section 2 is
repeated in Section 3:;
in the case of whole vehicle type-approvals granted in
accordance with the procedure described in Article 22 of
Directive 2007/46/EC, this means the latest directive or
regulation amending an Article (or Articles) of Directive 2007/
46/EC, except that the two first digits (e.g. 20) are replaced by
the letters KS in block capitals;
this means the latest directive or regulation containing the actual
provisions with which the system, component or technical unit
conforms;
EC TYPE-APPROVAL OF MOTOR VEHICLES
AND THEIR TRAILERS
-
this means the latest Regulation, containing amendments to
implementing measures of Regulation (EC) No 661/2009, with
which a system, component or technical unit complies,
-
should a directive or regulation including their implementing
acts contain different technical prescriptions to be applied from
specific dates, Section 3 shall be followed with an alphabetical
character to clearly identify against which technical
prescriptions the approval was granted. When different vehicle
categories are concerned, the character may also refer to a
specific vehicle category.
A four-digit sequential number (with leading zeros as applicable) for
EC Whole vehicle type-approvals, or four or five digits for type-
approval pursuant to a separate directive or regulation to denote the
base type-approval number. The sequence shall start from 0001 for each
base directive or regulation.
A two-digit sequential number (with leading zeros if applicable) to
denote the extension. The sequence shall start from 00 for each base
approval number.
2. In the case of a type-approval for a whole vehicle, Section 2 shall be
omitted.
However, in the case of a national type-approval granted for vehicles
produced in small series pursuant Article 23 of the Directive, Section 3
shall be replaced by the letters NKS in block capitals.
3. On the vehicle’s statutory plate(s) only, Section 5 shall be omitted.

EC CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY
0. OBJECTIVES
The certificate of conformity is a statement delivered by the vehicle
manufacturer to the buyer in order to assure him that the vehicle he has
acquired complies with the legislation in force in the European Union
at the time it was produced.
The certificate of conformity also serves the purpose to enable the
competent authorities of the Member States to register vehicles without
having to require the applicant to supply additional technical
documentation.
For these purposes, the certificate of conformity has to include
(a)
the Vehicle Identification Number;
EC TYPE-APPROVAL OF MOTOR VEHICLES
AND THEIR TRAILERS
(b)
the exact technical characteristics of the vehicle (i.e. it is not
permitted to mention any range of value in the various
entries).
1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The certificate of conformity shall consist of two parts.
(a)
SIDE 1, which consists of a statement of compliance by the
manufacturer. The same template is common to all vehicle
categories.
(b)
SIDE 2, which is a technical description of the main
characteristics of the vehicle. The template of side 2 is adapted
to each specific vehicle category.
The certificate of conformity shall be established
Without prejudice to the provisions in Section O( b ), the values and
units indicated in the second part shall be those given in the type-
approval documentation of the relevant regulatory acts. In case of
conformity of production checks the values shall be verified
according to the methods laid down in the relevant regulatory acts.
The tolerances allowed in those regulatory acts shall be taken into
account.
2. SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Model A of the certificate of conformity (complete vehicle) shall
cover vehicles which can be used on the road without requiring any
further stage for their approval.
Model B of the certificate of conformity (completed vehicles) shall
cover vehicles which have undergone a further stage for their
approval.
This is the normal result of the multi-stage approval process (e.g. a
bus built by a second stage manufacturer on a chassis built by a vehicle
manufacturer).
The additional features added during the multi-stage process shall be
described briefly.
Model C of the certificate of conformity (incomplete vehicles) shall
cover vehicles which need a further stage for their approval (e.g.
truck chassis).
Except for tractors for semi-trailers, certificates of conformity
covering chassis-cab vehicles belonging to category N shall be of
Model C.

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’ and verification of
the approval subject and product-related controls, and referred to as
‘product conformity arrangements’.
1. INITIAL ASSESSMENT
The approval authority of a Member State shall verify 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.
Guidance for conducting assessments may be found in Standard EN
ISO 19011:2002 - Guidelines for quality and/or environmental
management systems auditing.
The requirements referred to in paragraph 1.1 shall be verified to the
satisfaction of the authority granting type-approval.
That authority shall be satisfied with the initial assessment and the
product conformity arrangements at section 2 below, taking account, as
necessary, of one of the arrangements described at paragraphs 1.3.1 to
1.3.3, 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 approval authority granting the
approval or an appointed body acting on behalf of the approval
authority.
When considering the extent of the initial assessment to be carried out,
the approval authority may take account of available information
relating to
(a)
the manufacturer’s certification described in paragraph 1.3.3,
which has not been qualified or recognised under that paragraph,
(b)
in the case of component or separate technical unit 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.
The actual initial assessment and/or verification of product conformity
arrangements may also be carried out by the approval authority of
another Member State or the appointed body designated for this
purpose by the approval authority.
In such a case, the 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 type-approved
and to the regulatory acts according to which these products are to be
type-approved.
On receiving an application for a compliance statement from the
approval authority of a Member State granting type-approval, the
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 shall include at least the following
(a)
Group or company
(e.g. XYZ Automotive)
(b)
Particular organisation
(e.g. European Division)
(c)
Plants/Sites
(e.g. Engine Plant 1 (United
Kingdom)
Vehicle Plant 2 (Germany))
(d)
Vehicle/Component range: (e.g. All Category M1 models)
(e)
Areas assessed
(e.g. Engine assembly, body
pressing and assembly, vehicle
assembly)
(f)
Documents examined
(e.g. Company and site quality
manual and procedures)
(g)
Date of assessment
(e.g. Audit conducted from 18 to
30.5.2009)
(h)
Planned monitoring visit
(e.g. October 2010)
The approval authority shall also accept the manufacturer’s suitable
certification to harmonised standard EN ISO 9002-2008 or an
equivalent harmonised standard as satisfying the initial assessment
requirements of paragraph 1.3. The manufacturer shall provide details
of the certification and undertake to inform the approval authority of
any revisions to its validity or scope.
For the purpose of the whole vehicle 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 the applicable regulatory acts listed in
Schedule IV.
The approval authority of a Member State 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 physical tests
specified in the regulatory acts.
The holder of the type-approval shall, 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;
EC TYPE-APPROVAL OF MOTOR VEHICLES
AND THEIR TRAILERS
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 approval authority. This period shall not 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 regulatory acts listed
in Schedule IV 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 vehicle type-approval, the checks referred to in paragraph
2.3.5 shall at least consist in verifying the correct build specification in
relation to the approval and the information required for certificates of
conformity given in Schedule IX.
3. CONTINUED VERIFICATION ARRANGEMENTS
The authority which has granted 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 laid down in Sections 1 and 2 (initial
assessment and product conformityarrangements) of this Schedule.
Surveillance activities carried out by the technical services (qualified or
recognised as required by paragraph 1.2.3) shall be accepted as
satisfying the requirements of paragraph 3.1.1 with regard to the
procedures established at initial assessment.
The normal frequency of verifications by the approval authority (other
than those referred to in paragraph 3.1.1.1) shall be such as to ensure
that the relevant controls applied in accordance with Sections 1 and 2
are reviewed over a period consistent with the climate of trust
established by the 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 in paragraph 2.2.
The inspector may select samples at random to be tested in the
manufacturer’s laboratory or in the facilities of the technical service, In
such a case only a physical test shall be carried out. 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 accordance
with paragraph 3.2, the inspector shall select samples to be sent to a
technical service to perform physical tests.
Where unsatisfactory results are found during an inspection or a
monitoring review, the approval authority shall ensure that all necessary
steps are taken to restore conformity of production as rapidly as
possible.
(1) Compliance with the technical prescriptions laid down
in these regulations and in the regulatory acts listed in Schedule 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.

Additional requirements for testing the wheelchair tie down and occupant restraint system
The following sections 1. and either section 2. or 3. shall apply.
0. Definitions
Surrogate wheelchair (SWC) is a rigid, re-usable test wheelchair, as
defined in section 3 of ISO 10542-1:2012.
Point P is a representation of the position of the wheelchair occupant's
hip when seated in the SWC, as defined in section 3 of ISO 10542-
1:2012.
1. General requirements
Each wheelchair location shall be provided with anchorages to which a
wheelchair tie-down and occupant restraint system (WTORS) shall be
fitted.
The wheelchair occupant’s lower belt anchorages shall be located in
accordance with UNECE Regulation 14-07, paragraph 5.4.2.2, relative
to Point P on the SWC when placed in the travelling position designated
by the manufacturer. The upper actual anchorage (s) shall be located at
least 1 100 mm above the horizontal plane passing through the points of
contact between the rear tyres of the SWC and the vehicle floor. This
condition shall still be satisfied after the test carried out according to
paragraph 2. below.
An assessment shall be made of the WTORS occupant belt to ensure
compliance with the provisions of UNECE Regulation 16-06
paragraphs 8.2.2 to 8.2.2.4 and 8.3.1 to 8.3.4.
The minimum number of ISOFIX child seat anchorages need not to be
provided. In the case of a multi-stage approval where an ISOFIX
anchorage system has been affected by the conversion, the system shall
either be re-tested or the anchorages shall be rendered unusable. In the
latter case the ISOFIX labels shall be removed and appropriate
information given to the vehicle purchaser.
2. Static in-vehicle testing
Wheelchair occupant restraint anchorages
The wheelchair occupant restraint anchorages shall resist the static
forces prescribed for occupant restraint anchorages in UNECE
Regulation 14-07 simultaneously with the static forces applied to the
wheelchair tie-down anchorages as specified in 2.2 below.
Wheelchair tie-down anchorages
The wheelchair tie-down anchorages shall resist the following forces,
for at least 0.2 seconds, applied via the SWC (or a suitable surrogate
wheelchair having a wheelbase, seat height and tie-down attachment
points in accordance with the specification for the SWC), at a height of
300 +/– 100 mm from the surface on which the SWC rests
In the case of a forward-facing wheelchair, a simultaneous force,
coincident with the force applied to the occupant restraint anchorages,
of 24,5 kN and
a second test applying a static force of 8,2 kN directed towards the rear
of the vehicle.
In the case of a rearward-facing wheelchair, a simultaneous force,
coincident with the force applied to the occupant restraint anchorages,
of 8,2 kN and
a second test applying a static force of 24,5 kN directed towards the
front of the vehicle.
Components of the system
All components of the WTORS shall meet the relevant requirements of
ISO 10542-1:2012. However, the dynamic test specified in Annex A
and paragraphs 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 of ISO 10542-1:2012 shall be carried
out on the complete WTORS using the vehicle anchorage geometry
instead of the test geometry specified in Annex A of ISO 10542-1:2012.
This may be carried out within the vehicle structure or on a surrogate
structure representative of the vehicle’s WTORS anchorage geometry.
The location of each anchorage shall lie within the tolerance provided
for in point 7.7.1 of UNECE Regulation No 16-06.
Where the occupant restraint part of the WTORS is approved according
to UNECE Regulation No 16-06, it shall be subject to the dynamic test
of the complete WTORS specified in paragraph 2.3.1, but the
requirements of Paragraphs 5.1, 5.3 and 5.4 of ISO10542-1:2012 shall
be considered to have been met.
3. Dynamic in-vehicle testing
The full assembly of the WTORS system shall be tested by an in-
vehicle dynamic test in line with paragraphs 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 and Annex
A of ISO 10542-1:2012, testing all components/anchorages
EC TYPE-APPROVAL OF MOTOR VEHICLES
AND THEIR TRAILERS
simultaneously, using a vehicle body-in-white or representative
structure.
The component parts of the WTORS shall meet the relevant
requirements of ISO10542-1:2012 paragraphs 5.1, 5.3 and 5.4. These
requirements shall be deemed to have been met in respect of the
occupant restraint if it is approved according to UNECE Regulation No
16-06.
Appendix 4
Other Special Purpose Vehicles (including special group, multi-
equipment carrier and trailer Caravans)
The requirements of Annex IV shall be fulfilled to the greatest extent
Application of the exemptions is only permitted if the manufacturer
demonstrates to the satisfaction of the approval authority that the
vehicle, due to the special function, cannot meet all the requirements.

REGULATORY ACTS FOR WHICH A MANUFACTURER MAY BE
DESIGNATED AS TECHNICAL SERVICE
0. Objectives and scope
This Annex lays down the list of the regulatory acts for which a
manufacturer may be designated as technical service in accordance with
Article 41(6).
It also includes appropriate provisions concerning the designation of a
manufacturer as technical service, to be applied in the framework of the
type-approval of vehicles, components and separate technical units
concerned by Part I of Schedule IV.
However it does not apply to manufacturers which apply for small
series approval in accordance with Article 22.
1. Appointment of a manufacturer as technical service
A manufacturer appointed as technical service is a manufacturer who
has been designated by the approval authority as a testing laboratory to
EC TYPE-APPROVAL OF MOTOR VEHICLES
AND THEIR TRAILERS
carry out approval tests on its behalf in the meaning of point 31 of
Article 3.
In accordance with Article 41(6), a manufacturer may only be
designated as technical service for category A activities.
The expression "to carry out test" is not restricted to the measurement
of performances but covers also the registration of test results and the
submission of a report to the approval authority including the relevant
conclusions.
It covers the checking of compliance with those provisions which do
not necessarily require measurement. This is the case for the assessment
of the design against legislative requirements.
For example, "check compliance of the location of the fuel tank in a
vehicle with the provisions of point 5.10 of Annex I to Directive 70/
221/EEC" has to be understood as part of "to carry out test".

2. Fundamentals of computer simulation and calculation
Mathematical model
The mathematical model shall be supplied by the manufacturer. It shall
reflect the complexity of the structure of the vehicle, system and
components to be tested in relation to the requirements of the regulatory
act and its boundary conditions.
The same provisions shall apply mutatis mutandis for testing
components or technical units independently from the vehicle.
Validation process of the mathematical model
The mathematical model shall be validated in comparison with the
actual test conditions.
To that effect a physical test shall be conducted for the purposes of
comparing the results obtained when using the mathematical model
with the results of a physical test. Comparability of the test results shall
be proven. A validation report shall be drafted by the manufacturer or
by the technical service and submitted to the approval authority.
Any change made to the mathematical model or to the software likely to
invalidate the validation report shall be brought to the attention of the
approval authority which may require that a new validation process is
conducted.
The flow chart of the validation process is shown in Appendix 3.
Documentation
The data and auxiliary tools used for the simulation and calculation
shall be made available by the manufacturer and be documented in a
suitable way.
3. Tools and support
At the request of the technical service, the manufacturer shall supply or
provide access to the necessary tools including appropriate software.
In addition he shall provide appropriate support to the technical service.
Providing access and support to a technical service does not remove any
obligation of the technical service regarding the skills of its personnel,
the payment of licence rights and respect of confidentiality.

Validation process
(1) An EC type-approval of a vehicle shall cease to be
valid in any of the following cases
(a) new requirements in any regulatory act applicable to
the approved vehicle become mandatory for the
registration, sale or entry into service of new vehicles,
and it is not possible to update the approval
accordingly;
(b) production of the approved vehicle is definitively
discontinued voluntarily;
(c) the validity of the approval expires by virtue of a
special restriction.
(2) Where only one variant within a type or one version within
a variant becomes invalid, the EC type-approval of the vehicle in
question shall lose validity only in so far as the particular variant or
version is concerned.
(3) When production of a particular type of vehicle is
definitively discontinued, the manufacturer shall notify the type-
approval authority. Upon receiving such notification, the approval
authority shall inform the approval authorities of the other Member
States accordingly within twenty working days.
(4)
(a) Without prejudice to sub-regulation (3), in cases where
an EC type-approval of a vehicle is due to become
invalid, the manufacturer shall notify the approval
authority.
(b) The approval authority shall without unjustified delay
communicate all relevant information to the approval
authorities of the other Member States so as to enable
the application, where appropriate, of the provisions of
Schedule XII relating to end-of-series vehicles. That
EC TYPE-APPROVAL OF MOTOR VEHICLES
AND THEIR TRAILERS
communication shall specify, in particular, the date of
production and the vehicle identification number of
the last vehicle produced.
18.(1)(a) The manufacturer, in his capacity as the holder of an
EC type-approval of a vehicle, shall deliver a
certificate of conformity to accompany each vehicle,
whether complete, incomplete or completed, that is
manufactured in conformity with the approved vehicle
type.
(b) In the case of an incomplete or completed vehicle, 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
applicable, shall attach to the certificate all certificates
of conformity delivered at the previous stage.
(2) The certificate of conformity shall be drawn up in Maltese
or in any one of the official languages of the Community. Where
the certificate of conformity is drawn up in another Member State,
the approval authority in Malta may request the certificate of
conformity to be translated into English or Maltese.
(3) The certificate of conformity shall be designed to prevent
forgery. To that end, the paper used shall be protected either by
coloured graphics or by a watermark in the form of the
manufacturer’s identification mark.
(4) The certificate of conformity shall be completed in its
entirety and shall not contain restrictions as regards the use of the
vehicle other than those provided for in a regulatory act.
(5) The certificate of conformity as set out in Schedule IX, Part
I, for vehicles approved in accordance with the provisions of
regulation 20(2) shall display in the title thereof the phrase ‘For
complete/completed vehicles, type-approved in application of
regulation 20 (provisional approval).’.
(6) The certificate of conformity, as set out in Schedule IX,
Part I, for vehicles type-approved in accordance with regulation 21
shall display in the title thereof the phrase ‘For complete/completed
vehicles type-approved in small series’, and in close proximity
thereto the year of production followed by a sequential number,
between 1 and the limit indicated in the table set out in Schedule
XII, denoting, in respect of each year of production, the position of
that vehicle within the production allocated for that year.
(7) Without prejudice to the provisions of sub-regulation (1),
the manufacturer may transmit data or information contained in the
certificate of conformity by electronic means to the registration
authority.
(8) A duplicate of the certificate of conformity may be issued
only by the manufacturer. The word ‘duplicate’ must be clearly
visible on the face of any duplicate certificate.
[Regulation 9(2)]
PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED DURING
MULTI-STAGE EC TYPE-APPROVAL
1. GENERAL
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.
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.
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
Vehicle identification number
(a)
The identification number of the base vehicle (VIN) prescribed
EC TYPE-APPROVAL OF MOTOR VEHICLES
AND THEIR TRAILERS
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.
Additional manufacturer’s plate
At the second and subsequent stages, in addition to the statutory plate
prescribed by Directive 76/114/EEC, each manufacturer must affix to
the vehicle an additional plate the model of which is shown in the
appendix to this Schedule. This plate must be firmly attached, in a
conspicuous and readily accessible position on a part not subject to
replacement in use. It must show clearly and indelibly the following
information in the order listed
name of the manufacturer,
Sections 1, 3 and 4 of the EC type-approval number,
the stage of approval,
vehicle identification number,
maximum permissible laden mass of the vehicle ( a ),
maximum permissible laden mass of the combination (where the
vehicle is permitted to tow a trailer) ( a ),
maximum permissible mass on each axle, listed in order from
front to rear ( a ),
in the case of a semi-trailer or centre axle trailer, the maximum
permitted mass on the coupling device ( a ). Unless otherwise
provided for above, the plate must comply with the requirements
of Directive 76/114/EEC.
(a) Only where the value has changed during the current stage of approval.

concerning type-approval requirements for the deployment
of the eCall in-vehicle system based on the 112 service and
amending Directive 2007/46/EC
(1) If the Director finds that new vehicles, systems,
components or separate technical units, albeit in compliance with
the applicable requirements or properly marked, present a serious
risk to road safety, or seriously harm the environment or public
health, the Director may, for a maximum period of six months,
refuse to permit the sale or entry into service in its territory of such
vehicles, components or separate technical units. The Authority for
Transport in Malta may, for a maximum period of six months,
refuse to register such vehicles.
(2) In such cases, the approval authority shall immediately
n o t i f y t h e m a n u f a c t u r e r, t h e o t h e r M e m b e r St a t e s a n d t h e
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) incorrect application of the relevant requirements.
(1) If the approval authority which has granted an EC
type-approval finds that new vehicles, systems, 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, including, where
n e c e s s a r y, t h e w it h d r a w a l of t y p e - a p p r o va l , t o en s u r e t h a t
production vehicles, systems, components or separate technical
units, as the case may be, are brought into conformity with the
approved type. The approval 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
EC TYPE-APPROVAL OF MOTOR VEHICLES
AND THEIR TRAILERS
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 approval authority of the Member
State which granted the system, component or separate
technical unit EC type-approval or the approval of the
incomplete vehicle shall take the measures set out in
sub-regulation (1).
(5) The approval authority shall inform the other approval
authorities within twenty working days of any withdrawal of EC
type-approval and of the reasons therefor.
(6) If the Member State that granted EC type-approval disputes
the failure to conform notified to it, the Member States concerned
shall, in conformity with the Directive, endeavour to settle the
dispute. The Commission shall be kept informed and, where
necessary, shall hold appropriate consultations with a view to
reaching a settlement.
EC TYPE-APPROVAL OF MOTOR VEHICLES
AND THEIR TRAILERS
(1) The approval authority shall permit the sale, the offer
for sale or entry into service of 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 for its
environmental performance, only if those parts or equipment have
been authorised by an approval authority in accordance with sub-
regulations (4) to (8).
(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
a p pl i c a t i o n s h a l l i n c l u d e d e t a i l s c on c e r n i n g t he
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
EC TYPE-APPROVAL OF MOTOR VEHICLES
AND THEIR TRAILERS
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
EC TYPE-APPROVAL OF MOTOR VEHICLES
AND THEIR TRAILERS
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.
(1) Where a manufacturer who has been granted an EC
vehicle type-approval is obliged, in application of the provisions of
a regulatory act or of product safety legislation or the Act or the
Further Provisions for Product Withdrawal and Recall Regulations,
to recall vehicles already sold, registered or put into service
because one or more systems, components or separate technical
units fitted to the vehicle, whether or not duly approved in
accordance with these regulations, presents a serious risk to road
s a f e t y, p u b l i c h e a l t h o r e n v i r o n m e n t a l p r o t e c t i o n , s u c h
manufacturer shall immediately inform the approval authority that
granted the vehicle approval thereof.
(2) In case the EC vehicle type-approval was granted by the
approval authority, the manufacturer shall propose to the approval
authority a set of appropriate remedies to neutralise the risk
referred to in sub-regulation (1). The approval authority in Malta
shall communicate the proposed measures to the authorities of the
other 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 registered letter or equivalent electronic means
within twenty working days.
(4) This regulation shall also apply to parts that are not subject
to any requirement under a regulatory act.
(1) All decisions taken pursuant to the provisions adopted
in implementation of these regulations and all decisions refusing or
w i t h d r a w i n g E C t yp e - a p p r o v a l , o r r e f u s i n g r e g i s tr a t i o n o r
prohibiting sales, shall state in detail the reasons on which they are
based.
(2) Any such decision shall be notified to the party concerned
who shall, at the same time, be informed of the remedies available
EC TYPE-APPROVAL OF MOTOR VEHICLES
AND THEIR TRAILERS
to him under the laws in force in the Member State concerned and
of the time limits allowed for the exercise of such remedies.
UNECE Regulations to which the Community has acceded
and which are listed in Schedule IV, Part I and in Schedule XI are
part of the EC type-approval of a vehicle in the same way as the
