In the case of a system type-approval, a component type-approval or a separate technical unit type-approval, pursuant to the regulatory acts listed in Annex II, the approval authority shall have access to the information folder and, if applicable, the [F2GB type-approval] certificates and their attachments until the whole-vehicle type-approval is either granted or refused.
