EU: updates of vehicle approval certificate and certificate of conformity templates

 

The EU published a new Draft Commission Implementing Regulation amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/683 by introducing and updating, in the templates for the information document, approval certificate and certificate of conformity in paper format, the entries as regards vehicle safety systems, and adjusting the numbering system for the approval certificates.

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/683 provides for a standardised format of the documents used for the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles by laying down the templates for the information document, the EU individual vehicle approval certificates and the certificates of conformity in paper format.

The templates for the information document, contained in the Regulation (EU) 2020/683, need to be modified to include the information relevant for the approval of vehicles fitted with systems mandated by the General Safety Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2019/2144) which becomes applicable on the 6th July 2022 and the implementing and delegated regulations adopted pursuant to it.

The General Safety Regulation requires new vehicles to be equipped with advanced safety systems, including the emergency lane-keeping assistance, intelligent speed assistance, driver drowsiness and attention warning systems, and the event data recorder. Therefore, the EU Commission finds it is appropriate to require that the certificate of conformity indicates which advanced safety systems are fitted in the vehicle.

The respective information has also to be reflected in the templates for the type-approval certificate and the certificate of conformity in paper format. In addition, the numbering system for the type-approval certificates, as laid down in Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 2020/683, had to be adjusted.
