Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/2400 of 12 December 2017 implementing Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the determination of the CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of heavy-duty vehicles and amending Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 (Text with EEA relevance) (c. 2400)

ANNEX II REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES RELATED TO THE OPERATION OF THE SIMULATION TOOL

1. The processes to be set up by the vehicle manufacturer with a view to the operation of the simulation tool

1.1. The manufacturer shall set up at least the following processes:

1.1.1

A data management system covering sourcing, storing, handling and retrieving of the input information and input data for the simulation tool as well as handling certificates on the CO₂ emissions and fuel consumption related properties of a component families, separate technical unit families and system families. The data management system shall at least:

(a)

ensure application of correct input information and input data to specific vehicle configurations

(b)

ensure correct calculation and application of standard values;

(c)

verify by means of comparing cryptographic hashes that the input files of component families, separate technical unit families and system families which are used for the simulation corresponds to the input data of the component families, separate technical unit families and system families for which the certification has been granted;

(d)

include a protected database for storing the input data relating to the component families, separate technical unit families or system families and the corresponding certificates of the CO₂ emissions and fuel consumption related properties;

(e)

ensure correct management of the changes of specification and updates of components, separate technical units and systems;

(f)

enable tracing of the components, separate technical units and systems after the vehicle is produced.

1.1.2

A data management system covering retrieving of the input information and input data and calculations by means of the simulation tool and storing of the output data. The data management system shall at least:

(a)

ensure a correct application of cryptographic hashes;

(b)

include a protected database for storing the output data;

1.1.3

Process for consulting the dedicated electronic distribution platform referred to in Article 5(2) and Article 10(1) and (2), as well as downloading and installing the latest versions of the simulation tool.

1.1.4

Appropriate training of staff working with the simulation tool.

2. Assessment by the approval authority

2.1. The approval authority shall verify whether the processes set out in point 1 related to the operation of the simulation tool have been set up.

The approval authority shall also verify the following:

(a)

the functioning of the processes set out in points 1.1.1, 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 and the application of the requirement set out in point 1.1.4;

(b)

that the processes used during the demonstration are applied in the same manner in all the production facilities manufacturing the vehicle group concerned;

(c)

the completeness of the description of the data and process flows of operations related to the determination of the CO₂ emissions and fuel consumption of the vehicles.

For the purpose of point (a) of the second paragraph, The verification shall include determination of the CO₂ emissions and fuel consumption of at leaste one vehicle from each of the vehicle groups for which the licence has been applied for.
