14:15 – 15:00 Questions


The current situation

For trailers of Categories O1, 2, 3 & 4 –

No requirements


Vehicle categories

• Category O1: Trailers with a maximum mass not exceeding 0,75 tonnes

• Category O2: Trailers with a maximum mass exceeding 0,75 tonnes but not exceeding 3,5 tonnes.

• Category O3: Trailers with a maximum mass exceeding 3,5 tonnes but not exceeding 10 tonnes.

• Category O4: Trailers with a maximum mass exceeding 10 tonnes.


So what's happening?

For all categories of vehicle including trailers –

European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval

EC Directive 2007/46/EC


2007/46/EC

342 Pages

21 Annex’s

Covers all vehicle categories and types

Anything up to 60+ separate directives to comply with


Type approval routes

• European Community Whole Vehicle type Approval (ECWVTA).

Full approval to register unlimited numbers of a type of vehicle within the EU

• National Small series Type Approval (NSSTA).

Approval to register a limited number of a type of vehicle within the member state issuing the approval

• Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA).

Approval of a single type of vehicle. Administered by VOSA.


Conformity of production (COP)

As part of the approval process for ECWVTA andNSSTA, you will require a COP process.

• ECWVTA – Formal process

• NSSTA – An ‘approved’ process

Both ECWVTA & NSSTA will require control plans. Furtherinformation can be obtained from the Vehicle Certification Agency(VCA).

• IVA - No COP required


Trailers

Depending on the type of trailer manufactured, it is likely that the following technical requirements will need to be met:

• Rear protection device• Registration plate space• Steering effort• Braking• Radio interference• Statutory plates• Installation of lighting• Spray suppression• Safety glazing• Tyres• Masses and dimensions• Couplings• Transport of dangerous goods


Trailers

• Trailers in the UK are not registered.

• From 29th April 2012, new requirements for notification and record keeping will come into force.

• Requirements of above will come into force in line with type-approval

• From October 2012 it becomes mandatory for a large trailer subject to annual test to be notified to VOSA before it is used on the public road. VOSA will check the vehicle is approved before issuing clearance to use the trailer.


Trailers

Trailers not subject to annual test (under 3500kgs gross weight)ornot used to carry goods.

• From October 2012, it becomes mandatory for the person retailing the trailer to the public to keep records of every trailer sold for a period of 10 years.

• The records must show details of the type approval certificate of conformity or individual vehicle approval (IVA) certificate.


Directives and regulations on motor vehicles, their trailers, systems and components

• Commission Decision of 14 July 2011 correcting Directive 2010/19/EU as regards the amendment of the Annexes to Directive 2007/46/EC

• Commission Regulation (EU) No 678/2011 of 14 July 2011 replacing Annex II and amending Annexes IV, IX and XI to Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (Framework Directive)

• Commission Regulation (EU) No 566/2011 of 8 June 2011 amending Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 as regards access to vehicle repair and maintenance information

Items to consider for the future

• General Safety Regulation (GSR) including AEBS

Repeals 50 directives and combines requirements into 1 regulation

Reduces need for testing to EEC requirements as UN ECE Regulations Approvals accepted where available

Start to be phased in from 1st November 2012


• Masses and Dimensions

• European Small Series Approval (Other categories)


• Other items discussed at the TCMV of 16 April 2012 included:

Masses and Dimensions

Amendments to Annex IV and XII (2007/46)


Nationally:

• Revisions have been published to the VOSA IVA Manuals for N2/3 and M2/3

• Brake test requirements due to be published relating to IVA testing of trailers


The Directive 2007/46/EC became law on the 29 April 2009. The key dates from today are: New types of vehicles

Summary

• Automotive legislation is continually moving and changing.

• What has been indicated here has been derived from the

SMMT and Members discussions and consultations at the UK, EC and Globally through the UNECE.

• The legislation is usually written to cover all categories of vehicles. It is one of the roles of the SMMT to filter out only those parts that are applicable to the vehicles that you manufacture. This is especially true of the SENTA guide which I will speak about further later.

SENTA

SMMT European and National Type Approval

guide


SENTA - SMMT European and National Type Approval guide A step-by-step web-based programme to guide vehicle manufacturers, bodybuilders and suppliers through the complicated European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval system. It also allows for national approval schemes for low volume manufacturers.

For a new approval application, SENTA will ease the lengthy process.

SENTA details what a manufacturer must do from the original design idea, through the development and construction stages to completion of the approval process.


SENTA - SMMT European and National Type Approval guide

The guide is split into three parts.

Registered users will be guided through the ECWVTA process from start to finish. This will be based on their specific requirements and supported by:


SENTA - SMMT European and National Type Approval guide

The guide simplifies the approval process for those dealing with multi-stage builds by requesting specific information. Help information and worked examples are available for each section of the guide.

Take a Tour guideline information

The Tour is a snapshot of what is contained in the SENTA Guide which is written to cover all categories of vehicles and the possible Approval Routes. It gives an indication of how the Guide works by showing parts of the Section pages and how they may be used.

The application and compliance data included in the Tour is based on a European Approval for a large Truck built in two stages – ECWVTA N3 MSB
