COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 371/2010
of 16 April 2010
replacing Annexes V, X, XV and XVI to Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for the approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles (Framework Directive)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 September 2007 establishing a framework for the approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles (Framework Directive) (1), and in particular Articles 41(6), 11(5) and 39(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Directive 2007/46/EC establishes a harmonised framework containing the administrative provisions and general technical requirements for all new vehicles, systems, components and separate technical units. In particular it includes a description of the procedures to be followed with respect to type-approval including the practical measures to be taken in order to ensure that vehicles are produced in accordance with their type-approval documentation as well provisions concerning how tests must be conducted in order to be granted type-approval. |
(2) |
When examining the major policy areas which impact the competitiveness of the European automotive industry the CARS 21 High Level Group, set up by the Commission in 2005 to chart the way towards sustainable development of a competitive European automotive industry, agreed on a number of recommendations aiming at enhancing the industry’s global competitiveness and employment while sustaining further progress in safety and environmental performance. In the area of simplification the Group recommended the introduction of the possibility for a manufacturer to conduct himself tests required for approval, which implies his designation as technical service (hereinafter ‘self-testing’). It also recommended the possibility to use computer simulations instead of conducting physical tests (hereinafter ‘virtual testing’). |
(3) |
One of the main features of the type-approval system lies in the high level of confidence which must exist between the approval authority and the technical services it has appointed. It is therefore important that the documents exchanged between technical services and approval authority ensure transparency and clarity. For this reason, the format of the test reports as well the information which needs to be included therein should be clearly specified in Annex V to Directive 2007/46/EC related to the procedures to be followed with respect to type-approval. |
(4) |
The verification of the conformity of the vehicles, components or separate technical units throughout the whole production process is an essential mechanism of the type-approval system. One of the ways of verifying conformity of production consists in conducting physical tests on vehicles, components or separate technical units taken from the production in order to ensure that they continue to meet the technical requirements. Even when virtual test methods have been used for the purposes of type-approval it should be clarified that only physical tests may be performed when the authority selects samples at random. |
(5) |
Tests required with a view to granting type-approval are conducted by technical services duly notified by the approval authorities of the Member States after their skills and competence have been assessed under relevant international standards. Those standards contain the necessary requirements to allow a manufacturer or a subcontractor acting on his behalf to be... |
