1.5 Example of the certification mark

The above certification mark affixed to a transmission, torque converter (TC), other torque transferring component (OTTC) or additional driveline component (ADC) shows that the type concerned has been certified in Poland (e20), pursuant to this Regulation. The first two digits (00) are indicating the sequence number assigned to the latest technical amendment to this Regulation. The following digit indicates that the certification was granted for a transmission (T). The last four digits (0004) are those allocated by the type-approval authority to the transmission, as the base approval number.

1.6 On request of the applicant for certificate and after prior agreement with the approval authority other type sizes than indicated in 1.5 may be used. Those other type sizes shall remain clearly legible.

1.7 The markings, labels, plates or stickers must be durable for the useful life of the transmission, torque converter (TC), other torque transferring components (OTTC) or additional driveline components (ADC) and must be clearly legible and indelible. The manufacturer shall ensure that the markings, labels, plates or sticker cannot be removed without destroying or defacing them.

1.8 In the case separate certifications are granted by the same approval authority for a transmission, a torque converter, other torque transferring components or additional driveline components and those parts are installed in combination, the indication of one certification mark referred to in point 1.3 is sufficient. This certification mark shall be followed by the applicable markings specified in point 1.4 for the respective transmission, torque converter, other torque transferring component or additional driveline component separated by ‘/’.

1.9. The certification mark shall be visible when the transmission, torque converter, other torque transferring component or additional driveline component is installed on the vehicle and shall be affixed to a part necessary for normal operation and not normally requiring replacement during component life.

1.10 In the case that torque converter or other torque transferring components are constructed in such a way that they are not accessible and / or visible after being assembled with a transmission the certification mark of the torque converter or other torque transferring component shall be placed on the transmission.

In the case described in first paragraph, if a torque converter or other torque transferring component have not been certified, ‘–’ instead of the certification number shall be indicated on the transmission next to the alphabetical character specified in point 1.4.
