Article 4
1.By 1 January 2000, the Commission shall submit a report to the European Parliament and the Council on the drawing up of a standard electronic format for repair information taking account of relevant international standards.
By 30 June 2002 the Commission shall submit a report to the European Parliament and the Council on the development of on-board diagnostics (OBD) giving its opinion on the need for an extension of the OBD procedure and on requirements for the operation of an on-board measurement system (OBM). On the basis of the report, the Commission will submit a proposal for measures to enter into force no later than 1 January 2005 to include the technical specifications and corresponding annexes in order to provide for the type approval of OBM systems ensuring at least equivalent levels of monitoring to the OBD system and which shall be compatible with these systems.
The Commission shall submit a report to the European Parliament and the Council on the extension of OBD to cover other electronic vehicle control systems relating to active and passive safety, inter alia in a manner which is compatible with emission control systems.
2.By 1 January 2001 the Commission shall take appropriate measures to ensure that replacement or retro-fitted components can be brought to the market. Such measures shall include suitable approval procedures for replacement parts to be defined as soon as possible for those emission control components that are critical to the correct functioning of OBD systems.
3.By 30 June 2000 the Commission shall take appropriate measures to ensue that the development of replacement or retro-fit components which are critical to the correct functioning of the OBD system is not restricted by the unavailability of pertinent information, unless that information is covered by intellectual property rights or constitutes specific know-how of the manufacturers or the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) suppliers: in this case the necessary technical information shall not be improperly withheld.
4.In addition the Commission shall submit, by 30 June 2000, appropriate proposals to ensure that spare and retrofit parts are compatible inter alia with the specifications of the appropriate on-board diagnostic system, so that repair, replacement and fault-free operation are possible. The type-approval procedure laid down in the Annex to this Directive shall serve as a basis for this.
