Article 4U.K.Type-approval procedure

1.The Member State receiving the application shall grant type-approval to all engine types or engine families which conform to the particulars in the information folder and which meet the requirements of this Directive.

2.The Member State shall complete all applicable sections of the type-approval certificate, the model being given in [F1Annex VII], for each engine type or engine family which it approves and shall compile or verify the contents of the index to the information package. Type-approval certificates shall be numbered in accordance with the method described in [F1Annex VIII]. The completed type-approval certificate and its attachments shall be delivered to the applicant.[F2The Commission shall amend Annex VIII. Those measures, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 15(2).]

3.Where the engine to be approved fulfils its function or offers a specific feature only in conjunction with other parts of the non-road mobile machinery, and for this reason compliance with one or more requirements can be verified only when the engine to be approved operates in conjunction with other machinery parts, whether real or simulated, the scope of the type-approval of the engine(s) must be restricted accordingly. The type-approval certificate for an engine type or engine family shall then include any restrictions on its use and shall indicate any conditions for fitting it.

4.The approval authority of each Member State shall:

(a)send monthly to the approval authorities of the other Member States a list (containing the particulars shown in [F1Annex IX]) of the engine and engine family type-approvals it has granted, refused to grant or withdrawn during that month;

(b)on receiving a request from the approval authority of another Member State, send forthwith:

  • (b)a copy of the engine or engine family type-approval certificate with/without information package for each engine type or engine family which it has approved or refused to approve or withdrawn, and/or

  • the list of engines produced according to type-approvals granted, as described in Article 6(3), containing the particulars shown in [F1Annex X], and/or

  • a copy of the declaration described in Article 6(4).

5.The approval authority of each Member State shall yearly, or in addition on receiving a corresponding application, send the Commission a copy of the data sheet as shown in [F1Annex XI] related to the engines approved since the last notification was made.

[F36. Compression ignition engines for use other than in the propulsion of railcars and inland waterway vessels may be placed on the market under a flexibility scheme in accordance with the procedure referred to in Annex XIII in addition to paragraphs 1 to 5.]
