A vehicle is deemed to be new where:
it has never been registered previously; or
it has been registered for less than 6 months at the time of the application for individual approval.
A vehicle shall be considered registered where it has obtained a permanent, temporary or short-term administrative authorisation for entry into service in road traffic, involving its identification and the issuing of a registration number (1) .
Vehicles shall be categorised according to the criteria set out in Annex II.
For such purposes:
the actual number of seating positions shall be taken into consideration; and
the technically maximum permissible laden mass shall be the maximum mass stated by the manufacturer in the country of origin and available in his official documentation.
Where it is not possible to easily determine the vehicle category because of the design of the bodywork, the conditions set out in Annex II shall apply.
The applicant shall submit an application to the approval authority accompanied by all relevant documentation necessary for the operation of the approval process.
Where the submitted documentation is incomplete, falsified or forged the application for approval shall be rejected.
Only one application for a particular vehicle may be submitted in only one Member State.
By a particular vehicle, it shall be understood a physical vehicle the vehicle identification number of which is clearly identified.
For the application of this point, the approval authority may require that the applicant commits himself in writing that he will submit only one application in one Member State.
However, any applicant may apply for individual approval in another Member States in respect of a vehicle that has technical characteristics identical or similar to the one that has been granted an individual approval.
The model of the application form and the layout of the file shall be laid down by the approval authority.
Particulars may only consist in an appropriate selection of the information included in Annex I.
The technical requirements to be satisfied are those laid down in Section 4 of this Appendix.
They shall be those applicable to new vehicles belonging to a vehicle type currently in production, in relation to the date of the submission of the application.
With respect to certain tests required in some regulatory acts listed in this Annex, the applicant shall supply a statement of compliance with recognised international standards or regulations. The statement in question may only be issued by the vehicle manufacturer.
‘ Statement of compliance ’ shall mean a statement issued by the office or department within the manufacturer’s organisation which is duly authorised by the management to fully engage the legal responsibility of the manufacturer with respect to the design and the construction of a vehicle.
The regulatory acts for which such a statement has to be supplied shall be those referred to in Section 4 of this Appendix.
Where a statement gives rise to uncertainty, the applicant may be required to obtain from the manufacturer a conclusive piece of evidence, including a test report, in order to corroborate the manufacturer’s statement.
The technical services entrusted with individual approvals shall be of category A as referred to in Article 41(3).
By way of derogation from the second subparagraph of Article 41(4), technical services shall comply with the following standards:
EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 when they perform tests themselves;
EN ISO/IEC 17020:2004 when they check compliance of the vehicle with the requirements included in this Appendix.
Where specific tests requiring specific skills have to be conducted at the request of the applicant, they shall be conducted by one of the technical services notified to the Commission at the choice of the applicant.
For example, where a frontal impact test has to be conducted in agreement with the applicant in a Member State ‘ A ’ , the test may be conducted by a notified technical service in a Member State ‘ B ’ .
Test reports shall be drafted in accordance with Section 5.10.2 of Standard EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005.
They shall be drafted in one of the languages of the Union determined by the approval authority.
Where in application of point 1.3(c) a test report has been established in a Member State other than the one entrusted with the individual approval, the approval authority may require that the applicant submits a true translation of the test report.
They shall include a description of the vehicle tested including unambiguous identification. The parts which play a significant role with regard to the results of the tests shall be described and their identification number reported.
Examples of parts include the silencers for noise measurement and the engine management system (ECU) for the measurement of tailpipe emissions.
At the request of an applicant, a test report delivered for a system related to a particular vehicle may be presented repeatedly either by the same or another applicant for the purposes of individual approval of another vehicle.
In such a case the approval authority shall ensure that the technical characteristics of the vehicle are properly inspected against the test report.
Inspection of the vehicle and the documentation accompanying the test report shall lead to the conclusion that the vehicle for which an individual approval is sought has the same characteristics as the vehicle described in the report.
Only authenticated copies of a test report may be submitted.
Test reports referred to in point 1.4(d) do not include the reports drawn up in order to grant the vehicle individual approval.
No exemption to this principle shall be permitted.
Article 12 relating to conformity of production arrangements;
Articles 8, 9, 13, 14 and 18 relating to vehicle type-approval procedure.
The list of the technical requirements included in Section 4 will be regularly reviewed in order to take account of the results of the harmonisation work in progress at the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) in Geneva and legislative developments in the third countries.

the complete LPG or CNG installation shall be checked against the provisions of UNECE Regulations No 67 or 110 or 115 as appropriate;
the formula to be used for the assessment of CO 2 emissions shall be as follows:
Petrol engine and manual gearbox:
CO 2 = 0,047 m + 0,561 p + 56,621
Petrol engine and automatic gearbox:
CO 2 = 0,102 m + 0,328 p + 9,481
Petrol engine and hybrid electric:
CO 2 = 0,116 m – 57,147
Diesel engine and manual gearbox:
CO 2 = 0,108 m – 11,371
Diesel engine and automatic gearbox:
CO 2 = 0,116 m – 6,432
Where: CO 2 is the combined mass of CO 2 emissions in g/km, ‘ m ’ is the mass of the vehicle in running order in kg and ‘ p ’ the maximum engine power output in kW.
Combined mass of CO 2 shall be calculated with 1 decimal place, then rounded to the nearest whole number as follows:
if the figure following the decimal point is below 5, the total is rounded down;
if the figure following the decimal point is equal to 5 or above 5, the total is rounded up;
the formulæ to be used for the assessment of fuel consumption shall be as follows:
CFC = CO 2 x k -1
Where: CFC is the combined fuel consumption in l/100 km, CO 2 is the combined mass of CO 2 emissions in g/km after it has been rounded in accordance with the rule referred to in Remark (2 b), ‘ k ’ a coefficient equal to:
23,81 in the case of a petrol engine;
26,49 in the case of a diesel engine.
Combined fuel consumption shall be calculated with 2 decimal places. Then rounded as follows:
if the figure following the first decimal is below 5, the total is rounded down;
if the figure following the first decimal is equal to 5 or above 5, the total is rounded up;
Directive 74/297/EEC applies to vehicles which are not covered by the scope of Directive 96/79/EC;
Compliance with Directive 96/79/EC exempts vehicles from compliance with Directive 74/297/EEC;
Directive 74/297/EEC applies to N 1 vehicles with a technically permissible maximum laden mass not exceeding 1,5 tonnes.]
