| 13 | Noise and silencers | 1st July 1991 | Directive 70/157/EEC as amended by: Directive 84/424/EEC, Annex I, paragraph 5 | ECE Regulation 51.01, paragraph 5 | If any vehicle has been adapted from a vehicle, the effect of which is to change the category of vehicle, then provided that the adaptation has not been to a system which would directly affect the amount of noise emitted from the vehicle, it shall be sufficient to show compliance either with the requirements for the category of the unadapted vehicle, or of the adapted vehicle.If the exhaust system of any vehicle has been adapted (as permitted below), then the requirements of this item shall be deemed to be met, provided that the unadapted vehicle complied with the relevant noise and silencer requirements for that category of vehicle before it was adapted.Any adaptation to an exhaust system of a vehicle shall be permitted provided that:any adaptation is downstream of any emission control device fitted within the system; andthe emission control device and silencer are identical to those which would have been fitted had the vehicle not been adapted. | |
| 1st January 1997 | Directive 92/97/EEC or Directive 96/20/EC, Annex I, paragraph 5 | ECE Regulation 51.02, paragraph 5 | If any vehicle has been adapted from a vehicle, the effect of which is to change the category of vehicle, then provided that the adaptation has not been to a system which would directly affect the amount of noise emitted from the vehicle, it shall be sufficient to show compliance either with the requirements for the category of the unadapted vehicle, or of the adapted vehicle.If the exhaust system of any vehicle has been adapted (as permitted below), then the requirements of this item shall be deemed to be met, provided that the unadapted vehicle complied with the relevant noise and silencer requirements for that category of vehicle before it was adapted.Any adaptation to an exhaust system of a vehicle shall be permitted provided that:any adaptation is downstream of any emission control device fitted within the system; andthe emission control device and silencer are identical to those which would have been fitted had the vehicle not been adapted. | |||
| 26 | Carbon dioxide emissions and fuel consumption | 1st January 1997 | Directive 80/1268/ EEC as amended by Directive 93/116/EC, Annex I, paragraph 5 | ECE Regulation 101, paragraph 5 | If any vehicle has been adapted from a vehicle, the effect of which is to change the category of vehicle, then provided that the adaptation has not been to a system which would directly affect the carbon dioxide emissions emitted from the vehicle or its fuel consumption, it shall be sufficient to show compliance either with the carbon dioxide emissions and fuel consumption requirements for the category of the unadapted vehicle, or of the adapted vehicle.If the exhaust system of any vehicle has been adapted (as permitted below), then the requirements of this item shall be deemed to be met, provided that the unadapted vehicle complied with the relevant carbon dioxide emission and fuel consumption requirements for that category of vehicle before it was adapted.Any adaptation to an exhaust system of a vehicle shall be permitted provided that:any such adaptation is down stream of any emission control device fitted within the system; andthe emission control device is identical to that which would have been fitted had the vehicle not been adapted. | |
| 27 | Frontal impact | 1st October 2003 | Directive 96/79/EC, Annex II, paragraph 3 | ECE Regulation 94.01, paragraph 5 | If any vehicle has been adapted from a vehicle, the effect of which is to change the category of vehicle, then it shall be sufficient to show compliance either with the frontal impact requirements for the category of the unadapted vehicle, or of the adapted vehicle.If (i) a disabled person’s vehicle has been adapted from a vehicle which before it was adapted was of a category which was required to comply with the requirements of this item; and (ii) the reason for the adaptation is to enable a disabled person to drive the vehicle or travel as a passenger in it; then the requirements of this item shall not apply, but only insofar as the adaptation prevents the disabled person’s vehicle from complying with any of the requirements of this item. | |
| 28 | Side impact | 1st October 2003 | Directive 96/27/EC, Annex II, paragraph 3 | ECE Regulation 95.01, paragraph 5 | If any vehicle has been adapted from a vehicle, the effect of which is to change the category of vehicle, then it shall be sufficient to show compliance either with the side impact requirements for the category of the unadapted vehicle, or of the adapted vehicle.If (i) a disabled person’s vehicle has been adapted from a vehicle which was of a category which was required to comply with the requirements of this item; and (ii) the reason for the adaptation is to enable a disabled person to drive the vehicle or travel as a passenger in it; then the requirements of this item shall not apply to the disabled person’s vehicle but only insofar as the adaptation prevents the disabled person’s vehicle from complying with any of the requirements of this item. |
