EU: Public consultation on vehicle type-approval templates and numbering system

 

The EU Commission has launched a public consultation on the amendment of the templates of different documents necessary in the vehicle type approval process as defined in the Regulation (EU) 2020/683.  The document templates to be amended are:

  • the information document
  • the type-approval certificate
  • the type-approval certificate’s numbering system.

The Regulation (EU) 2020/683 lays down the administrative requirements for the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.  It also provides for a standardized 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 documents, contained in Annexes I and II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/683, should be modified to take into account the new requirements introduced by the General Safety Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2019/2144) and the regulatory acts adopted pursuant to it.

Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 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. It is appropriate to require that the certificate of conformity indicates which systems are fitted in the vehicle. It is therefore necessary to add the relevant entries to the templates for the certificate of conformity in paper format set out in Annex VIII to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/683.

The public consultation can be accessed starting from today (21 February 2022) till the 21 March 2022 HERE.
