Meaning of letters:

X

No exemptions except those specified in the regulatory act.

N/A

This regulatory act is not applicable to this vehicle (no requirements).

A

Exemption permitted where special purposes make it impossible to fully comply. The manufacturer shall demonstrate this to the satisfaction of the type-approval authority that the vehicle cannot meet the requirements due to its special purpose.

B

Application limited to doors giving access to the seats designated for normal use when the vehicle is travelling on the road and where the distance between the R point of the seat and the average plane of the door surface, measured perpendicular to the longitudinal medium plane of the vehicle, does not exceed 500 mm.

C

Application limited to that part of the vehicle in front of the rearmost seat designated for normal use when the vehicle is travelling on the road and also limited to the head impact zone as defined in Directive 74/60/EEC.

D

Application limited to seats designated for normal use when the vehicle is travelling on the road. Seats which are not designated for use when the vehicle is travelling on the road shall be clearly identified to users either by means of a pictogram or a sign with an appropriate text.

E

Front only.

F

Modification to the routing and length of the refuelling duct and re-positioning of the tank inboard is permissible.

G

Requirements according to the category of the base/incomplete vehicle (the chassis of which was used to build the special purpose vehicle). In the case of incomplete/completed vehicles, it is acceptable that the requirements for vehicles of the corresponding category N (based on max. mass) are satisfied.

H

Modification of exhaust system length after the last silencer not exceeding 2 m is permissible without any further test.

J

For all window glazing other than driver's cab glazing (windshield and side glasses), the material may be either of safety glass or rigid plastic glazing.

K

Additional panic alarm devices permitted.

L

Application limited to seats designated for normal use when the vehicle is travelling on the road. At least anchorages for lap belts are required in the rear seating positions. Seats which are designated for use when the vehicle is travelling on the road shall be clearly identified to users either by means of a pictogram or a sign with an appropriate text.

M

Application limited to seats designated for normal use when the vehicle is travelling on the road. At least lap belts are required in all rear seating positions. Seats which are not designated for use when the vehicle is travelling on the road shall be clearly identified to users either by means of a pictogram or a sign with an appropriate text.

N

Provided that all mandatory lighting devices are installed and that the geometric visibility is not affected.

O

The vehicle shall be fitted with an adequate system in the front.

Q

Modification of exhaust system length after the last silencer not exceeding 2 m is permissible without any further test. An EC type-approval issued to the most representative base vehicle remains valid irrespective of change in the reference weight.

R

Provided that the registration plates of all Member States can be mounted and remain visible.

S

The light transmission factor is at least 60 %, also the ‘A’ pillar obstruction angle is not more than 10 ^o .

T

Test to be performed only with the complete/completed vehicle. The vehicle can be tested according to Directive 70/157/EEC as last amended by 1999/101/EC. Concerning item 5.2.2.1 of Annex I to Directive 70/157/EEC the following limit values are applicable:

(a)

81 dB(A) for vehicles with an engine power of less than 75 kW;

(b)

83 dB(A) for vehicles with an engine power of not less than 75 kW but less than 150 kW;

(c)

84 dB(A) for vehicles with an engine power of not less than 150 kW.

U

Test to be performed only with the complete/completed vehicle. Vehicles up to 4 axles shall comply with all the requirements laid down by Directive 71/320/EEC. Derogations are admitted for vehicles having more than 4 axles, provided that:

• they are justified by the particular construction

• all the braking performances, related to parking, service and secondary braking laid down by Directive 71/320/EEC are fulfilled.

V

The compliance with Directive 97/68/EC can be accepted.

W ₁

Requirements shall be complied with, but modification in the exhaust system is permitted without any further test provided the emission control devices including particulate filters (if any) are not affected. No new evaporative test shall be required on the modified vehicle on condition that the evaporative control devices are kept as fitted by the manufacturer of the base vehicle.

An EC type approval issued to the most representative base vehicle remains valid irrespective of change in the reference mass.

W ₂

Requirements shall be complied with, but modification of the routing, length of the refuelling duct, fuel hoses and fuel vapour pipes is permitted. Re-location of the original fuel tank is permitted.

W ₃

A wheelchair location is considered as a seating position. For each wheelchair sufficient space shall be provided. The longitudinal plane of the special area shall be parallel to the longitudinal plane of the vehicle.

Appropriate information shall be made available to the vehicle owner that a wheelchair used as a seat in the vehicle shall be capable of withstanding the forces transmitted by the tie-down mechanism during the various driving conditions.

Appropriate adaptations may be made to the seats of the vehicle provided that their anchorages, mechanisms and head restraints guarantee the same level of performance provided for in the Directive.

W ₄

Compliance with Directive shall be required for the boarding aids when in the resting position.

W ₅

Each wheelchair location shall be fitted with an integrated restraint system which consists of a restraint system for the wheelchair and a restraint system for the wheelchair user.

Anchorages for restraint systems shall resist forces as prescribed in Directive 76/115/EEC and in Standard ISO 10542-1: 2001.

Webbings and hardware intended to secure the wheelchair (tie-down mechanisms) shall meet the requirements of Directive 77/541/EEC and of the relevant part of Standard ISO 10542.

Tests shall be performed by the technical service which has been appointed for testing and checking in accordance with the Directives referred to above. The criteria are those included in these Directives. Tests shall be performed with the surrogate wheelchair described in Standard ISO 10542.

W ₆

When, due to the conversion, anchorage points for the safety belts need to be moved outside the tolerance provided for in point 2.7.8.1 of Annex I to Directive 77/541/EEC, the technical service shall check whether the alteration constitutes a worst case or not. If that is the case, the test provided for in Annex VII to Directive 77/541/EEC shall be performed. Extension to the EC type-approval does not need to be issued.

W ₇

A new measurement relating to CO ₂ emissions does not need to be performed when, in application of the provisions under W ₁ , no fresh tests have to be performed with regard to tail pipe emissions.

W ₈

For the purposes of calculations, the mass of the wheelchair including the user shall be assumed to be 100 kg. The mass shall be concentrated at the H point of the three-dimensional machine.

The technical service shall also consider the possibility to use electric wheelchair(s), the mass of which, including the user, is assumed to be 250 kg. Any limitation in the passenger capacity resulting from the use of electric wheelchair(s) shall be recorded in the type-approval certificate and an appropriate language thereto shall be included in the certificate of conformity.

W ₉

No new test shall be required on the modified vehicle on condition that the front part of the chassis located in front of the R point of the driver is not affected by the conversion of the vehicle and no part of the supplementary restraint system (air-bag(s)) has been removed or deactivated.

W ₁₀

No new test shall be required on the modified vehicle on condition that the side reinforcements have not been altered and no part of the supplementary restraint system (side air-bag(s)) has been removed or deactivated.

Y

Provided that all mandatory lighting devices are installed.

Z

Only for vehicles of category N ₁ , class I as described in the first table in point 5.3.1.4 of Annex I to Directive 70/220/EEC.’]
