EU: Vehicle type approval framework regulation updated

 

The EU Commission has published a Delegated Regulation amending Annexes I, II, IV and V to Regulation (EU) 2018/858 as regards the technical requirements for vehicles produced in unlimited series, vehicles produced in small series, fully automated vehicles produced in small series and special purpose vehicles, and as regards software update.

The table set out in Annex II, Part I, to Regulation (EU) 2018/858 contains the list of requirements for EU type-approval of vehicles produced in unlimited series, with a list of corresponding regulatory acts. It was necessary to take into account technological and regulatory developments by updating some of the references in that table setting out the requirements for vehicles, systems, components and separate technical units. In particular, reference to Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 of the European Parliament and of the Council had to be introduced.

Moreover, with technology development, motor vehicles are becoming increasingly complex using more electronic systems that require regular software update. Since such software update may affect the functioning of other approved systems and functionalities in the vehicles concerned, the manufacturers should establish a software update management system as part of their conformity of production process.
