ANNEX IV
Templates for the certificates of conformity
LIST OF APPENDICES
| Appendix Number | Appendix title |
|---|---|
| 1 | Models for the certificate of conformity |
| 2 | Information and entries to be included in the certificates of conformity issued in accordance with the template set out in Annex IV to Directive 2002/24/EC |
0. Objectives
The certificate of conformity enables the competent authorities of the Member States to register vehicles without requiring the applicant to supply additional technical documentation. For these purposes, the certificate of conformity has to include:
- (a) the vehicle identification number;
- (b) the exact technical characteristics of the vehicle (e.g. it is not permitted to mention any range of value in the various entries).
1. General requirements
- 1.1.The vehicle manufacturer shall provide, in accordance with Article 38(1) of Regulation (EU) No 168/2013, a certificate of conformity for each vehicle in the series of the type which has been approved, which template is set out in the Appendix 1.
- 1.2.The certificate of conformity shall consist of two sections.
- (a) Section 1 contains a statement of compliance by the manufacturer. There are different templates for section 1 according to the vehicles covered, as specified in point 2.
- (b) Section 2 is a technical description of the main characteristics of the vehicle. The template for section 2 is common to all vehicle categories. Those entries which are not applicable to the certified vehicle can be supressed.
- 1.3.The certificate of conformity shall be no bigger than A4 paper format (210 × 297 mm).
- 1.4All information on the Certificate of Conformity shall be provided in ISO 8859 series characters (for Certificates of Conformity issued in Bulgarian Language in Cyril characters, for Certificates of Conformity issued in Greek Language in Greek characters) and Arabic numerals.
- 1.5.Without prejudice to the provisions in section 0(b), the values and units indicated in Section 2 shall be those given in the type-approval documentation of this implementing act. In the case of conformity of production checks, the values shall be verified according to the methods laid down in Annex IV to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 44/2014. The tolerances allowed are those indicated in the relevant delegated acts.
- 1.6.The vehicle manufacturer shall endeavour to make available an electronic version of the certificate of conformity to the registration authority of the Member State performing the first registration of the vehicle containing the identical information as stated on the certificate of conformity of the vehicle.
- 1.7.The certificate of conformity of vehicles of category L3 capable of converting their performance levels between subcategories (L3e/L4e)-A2 and (L3e/L4e)-A3 according to the procedure established in point 4. of Annex III to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 44/2014 shall bear the data of the vehicle configuration at the end of the production line in the factory when finally set to one of the two possible configurations. In addition, it shall bear certain characteristics of the vehicle configuration in case it is retrofitted after first registration, which are identified as corresponding to the converted vehicle (CV), as well as entry 8.1. to clearly state that the vehicle is appropriate for converting its performance level.
- 1.8.Relevant information and entries of the certificate of conformity which are not present in the template set out in Annex IV to Directive 2002/24/EC shall be introduced respectively in the entries No 04 ‘Vehicle category’ and 50 ‘Remarks’ of the certificates of conformity issued according to that template, as indicated in Appendix 2.
2. Special provisions
- 2.1.Model A of the certificate of conformity (complete vehicles) shall cover vehicles which can be used on the road without further approval.
- 2.2.Model B of the certificate of conformity (completed vehicles) shall cover vehicles which can also be used on the road without requiring any further approval, and which have previously undergone an additional approval stage.
- This is the normal result of the multi-stage approval process (e.g. a commercial tricycle (L5e-B) built by a second-stage manufacturer on a chassis built by another vehicle manufacturer).
- The additional features added during the multi-stage process shall be described briefly and the certificates of conformity obtained at the previous stages shall be annexed.
- 2.3.Model C of the certificate of conformity (incomplete vehicles) shall cover vehicles which need a further stage for their approval and cannot be permanently registered or used on the road (e.g. a heavy quadri-mobile for utility purposes (L7e-CU) chassis).
3. Paper and security printing features to prevent forgery
- 3.1.In accordance with Article 38(2) of Regulation (EU) No 168/2013, the certificate of conformity shall be made in such a way as to prevent any forgery. For this purpose, the paper used for the certificate of conformity shall be protected by a watermark in the form of the registered mark of the manufacturer and by coloured graphics.
- 3.2.As an alternative to the requirements set out in point 3.1., the paper of the Certificate of conformity may be not protected by a watermark in the form of the registered mark of the manufacturer. In this case, the coloured graphics shall be supplemented with at least one additional security printing feature (e.g. ultraviolet fluorescent ink, inks with viewing angle-dependent colour, inks with temperature-dependent colour, micro printing, guilloche printing, iridescent printing, laser engraving, custom holograms, variable laser images, optical variable images, physically embossed or engraved manufacturer's logo, etc.)
- 3.3.Manufacturers may provide the certificate of conformity with security printing features additional to those set out in points 3.1. and 3.2.
