Type Approval

Mike Protheroe

February 2014

www.dft.gov.uk/vca

Outline

• Type Approval Regulations

• Type Approval Process

• Type Approval Documents

• Conformity of Production

www.dft.gov.uk/vca

Type Approval in a Nutshell

• Whole Vehicle Type Approval authorises a

manufacturer to:

– produce vehicles to a proven specification

– self-certify these as compliant with relevant

legislation

• Two fundamental requirements:

– Meeting the technical and administrative

requirements and capturing the design

– Ensuring that subsequent production

vehicles are manufactured in conformance

with the approved design

24

www.dft.gov.uk/vca

Type Approval Regulations

• The type approval regulations are;

– UK Statutory Instrument 2009 No. 717

www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2009/717/contents/made

• These enact directive 2007/46/EC into law

• Manufacturers can choose between;

– ECWVTA

– NSSTA

– IVA

www.dft.gov.uk/vca

Type Approval Regulations

29 October 2014 - Final Implementation Date

• Applies to

– Multi stage approval for medium & heavy

trucks (category N2 & N3)

– Single & Multi stage approval for Special

Purpose Vehicles (category N1 – N3, M2,

M3, O1 – O4)

• See Schedule 3 of the UK Statutory Inst.

Vehicles can be approved in either;

• Single stage approval

Image: Magnus Manske

• Multi stage approval

Image: Unisouth



http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:A_Brand_New_ASDA_Mercedes_Benz_Sprinter_Delivery_Van.jpg?uselang=en-gb

www.dft.gov.uk/vca


• Single stage approval

– in general terms, built to completion in

respect of chassis and body by a single

manufacturer

• Multi stage approval

– in general terms, those where the chassis

manufacturer and body manufacturer are

different and each plays a part in the

approval of the vehicle

www.dft.gov.uk/vca


Focus on Multi stage approval

• Stage 1 (Base Vehicle) manufacturer has

already done most of the hard work!

• Stage 2 (3 in some cases) manufacturer(s) /

body builder(s) responsible only for aspects

they add / change

– Maybe 6 or 7 items

www.dft.gov.uk/vca

Type Approval Documents

• Information documents follow a basic and

recognisable format and have information

about;

– you (the manufacturer)

– your products (the type of vehicle or system)

• Most directives / regulations will have a

template for an information document

– if there isn’t one the relevant parts should be

taken from Annex I of 2007/46/EC or SENTA

www.dft.gov.uk/vca

Conformity of Production (CoP)

• CoP checks are done in parallel with Type

Approval tests and / or inspections

• You can’t get Type Approval without CoP

– Manufacturers need to provide evidence of

the ability to produce a series of products

that exactly match the specification,

performance and marking requirements

outlined in their type approval

documentation

www.dft.gov.uk/vca


• CoP is fundamental to Type Approval

– VCA must have confidence in your

manufacturing and change control systems

to enable you to issue Certificates of

Conformity (CoC)

– Quality Management System – controlling

the policies and day-to-day activities of the

business that could influence conformity of

the product to the approved ‘Type’

• ISO9001 / TS16949 satisfy this requirement but are

not mandatory

52

www.dft.gov.uk/vca


• CoP clearance is required for Type Approval

– Quality Management System – controlling the

policies and day-to-day activities of the

business that could influence conformity of

the product to the approved ‘Type’

• ISO9001 / TS16949 satisfy this requirement but are not

mandatory

– Control Plan – a detailed description of all the

checks performed that ensure completed

product conforms to each aspect of the

approval 53


Afterwards?

• Issue Certificates of

Conformity (CoC)

– Your declaration that the

vehicle in question

meets the requirements

– Used with previous

stages CoC’s for

registration

– Only add information

that you have affected

www.dft.gov.uk/vca

• Changes to your specification

• Additions to your specification

• Changes to base vehicle

• Changes to legislation

55

Maintain your approval!!!!

Coffee Break



The legislative process and the SMMT

Tony Hopkins.

Technical Manager,

SMMT


In the past – National Type Approval

To register a Commercial vehicle of Categories N1, 2 & 3

7 areas of the vehicle were covered –

Brakes

Emissions

Noise

Smoke

Front underrun (if applicable)

Tyres

Speed limiter (if applicable)


In the past -

For trailers of Categories O1, 2, 3 & 4

No requirements


So what happened?

For all categories of vehicle including trailers –

European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval

Introduced revised Annexes I, III, IV, VI, VII, XI & XV

Annexes I & III are the Information documents to be

supplied to the Approval Authority.


2007/46/EC

Regulation 371/2010

Introduced revised Annex XV – Manufacturer as a

Technical Service

Regulation 183/2011

Introduced revised Annexes IV & VI – Requirements

for the purpose of type approval & model of certificate


2007/46/EC

Regulation 678/2011

Replaced Annex II and revised Annexes IV, IX & XI

Requirements, Definitions, COC’s & Regulatory acts

Regulation 1229/2012

Introduced revised Annexes IV - Requirements


2007/46/EC

Since 2007:

Annex IV either revised or amended 4 times

Lists of regulatory Acts updated to cover Small Series

changes etc.

How has the SMMT influenced the process?


2007/46/EC

Worked closely with the Small Series / Low Volume

producers to ensure certain costly testable items are

exempt testing or require reduced levels of testing.

Examples:

Frontal Impact

Enhanced Stability Control

OBD Requirements


2007/46/EC

Masses & Dimensions - 1230/2012

Incorporated 2 Masses & Dimensions covering

passenger car, commercial vehicles, buses and trailer

M&D requirements into 1 Regulation.

However, in its initial draft it removed the option for

National Markets to allow exemptions to the

requirements for vehicles / trailers operated within

their specific market


2007/46/EC

Masses & Dimensions - 1230/2012

Further lobbying by the SMMT resulted in

amendments to the final document allowing a 2000

limit on trailers and 1200 limit over 4m height for

National Approval and operations.


Nationally

Vehicle Enhancement Scheme for N1 and certain N2 ‘Vans’.

Concerns raised by Members regarding how to fit out vans with simple systems that only affect Masses & Dimensions

Do these vehicles require full approval IVA?

If so, additional costs burdens to industry and the end user.


Nationally

Vehicle Enhancement Scheme for N1 and certain N2

‘Vans’.

Lobbied UK Government to allow these items to be

considered ‘payload’ and hence exempt from approval

requirements.

Presented evidence to support the request based on

other member states interpretation.


Nationally


‘Vans’.

Outcome –

DFT & VCA introduced the Enhancement Scheme

Low cost scheme to ensure final vehicles comply with

COP and legislative requirements.


Nationally


‘Vans’.

Outcome –

Discussions currently underway with the EU to amend

2007/46 to incorporate the changes allowed in the

scheme


2007/46/EC

What is over the horizon?

General Safety Regulation – 661/2009

Comes into Force for new registrations from 14th

November 2014

Draft document covering the specific procedures, tests

and technical requirements currently being finalised at

the EU.


2007/46/EC

What is over the horizon?


Repeals 50 directives and combines requirements into

1 regulation

Reduces need for testing to EEC requirements as UN

ECE Regulations Approvals accepted where available


2007/46/EC


Issues with conflict between proposed update to

Annex IV for Small Series vehicles and current

required standards.

What is the SMMT doing?

Ongoing dialogue with the DFT & EU to attempt to

reach a consolidated opinion.


2007/46/EC

Conformity of Production (COP) is the key part of the type approval process.

It ensures that:

Once a product has been ‘Type Approved’ the holder of the approval has to demonstrate the ability to produce a series of these products that conform to the specification and performance requirements of the relevant regulations or directives.

Will the 10th, 100th 1000th meet the requirements and perform the same as the one type approved?

Items to consider for the future

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) & Advanced Emergency Braking Systems (AEBS)

Introduction from now in stages on different categories of vehicle. Conversion of a vehicle of one category to another may have an influence on if such systems should be fitted.

EU considering the issue and SMMT actively participates in the current discussions and lobbies as required.


Items to consider for the future

As a Bodybuilder, you need to understand the what

legislation is forthcoming and how it could affect the

vehicles you are building.


Nationally:

Revisions have been published to the VOSA IVA

Manuals for N2/3 and M2/3

Brake test requirements have been published relating

to IVA testing of trailers


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.


What other ways can we

assist you?


SENTA

SMMT European and National

Type Approval


A step-by-step web-based programme to guide vehicle

manufacturers, bodybuilders and suppliers through the European

Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval application system. It

also allows for national approval schemes for low volume

manufacturers.

For a new and subsequent approval application, SENTA will ease

the lengthy documentary process.

SENTA takes a manufacturer through Conformity of Production

(COP) principles and examples, component and system

applications, application documents and finally a Certificate of

Conformity (COC).
