PART I
DEFINITION OF SPECIAL-PURPOSE VEHICLES AND LIST OF REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PURPOSES OF VEHICLE EC TYPE-APPROVAL
Owing to the need to operate in specific situations, the following special-purpose vehicles exist:
1. T4 tractors
1.1. T4.1 High-clearance tractors
Tractors designed for working with high-growing crops, such as vines. They feature a raised chassis or section of chassis, enabling them to advance in parallel with the crop with left and right wheels on either side of one or more rows of the crop. They are intended for carrying or operating tools which may be fitted at the front, between the axles, at the rear or on a platform. When the tractor is in working position the ground clearance perpendicular to the crop rows exceeds 1000 mm. Where the height of the centre of gravity of the tractor(3) (measured in relation to the ground, using the tyres normally fitted) divided by the average minimum track of all of the axles exceeds 0,90, the maximum design speed must not exceed 30 km/h.
1.2. T4.2 Extra-wide tractors
Tractors characterised by their large dimensions, primarily intended for working large areas of farmland.
1.3. T4.3 Low-clearance tractors
Four-wheel drive agricultural or forestry tractors whose interchangeable equipment is intended for agricultural or forestry use and which are characterised by a supporting frame, equipped with one or more power take-offs, having a technically permissible mass no greater than 10 tonnes, and for which the ratio of this mass to the maximum unladen mass in running order is less than 2,5. Moreover, the centre of gravity of these tractors(4) (measured in relation to the ground, using the tyres normally fitted) is less than 850 mm.

ANNEX IV
PROCEDURES TO ENSURE CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION
1. INITIAL ASSESSMENT
1.1. Before granting EC type-approval, the EC type-approval authority in a Member State shall verify the existence of satisfactory arrangements and procedures for ensuring effective checking that components, systems, separate technical units or vehicles in production conform to the approved type.
1.2. The requirement in point 1.1 must be verified to the satisfaction of the authority granting EC type-approval. This verification may be carried out on behalf of the authority granting EC type-approval by the EC type-approval authority in another Member State. In this case, the latter authority shall prepare a statement of compliance outlining the areas and production facilities it considers to be relevant to the product(s) to be type-approved.
1.3. The EC type-approval authority shall accept the manufacturer's certification to harmonised standard EN ISO 9001:2000 with the permissible exclusion of the requirements related to the concepts of design and development, point 7.3 "Customer satisfaction and continual improvement" (the scope of which covers the product(s) to be type-approved) or an equivalent accreditation standard as satisfying the requirements of paragraph 1.1. The manufacturer shall provide details of the registration and undertake to inform the approval authorities of any amendments to its validity or scope.
1.4. On receiving a request from the authority of another Member State, the EC type-approval authority shall forthwith send the statement of compliance referred to in paragraph 1.2 or advise that it is not in a position to provide such a statement.
2. CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION
2.1. Every vehicle, system, component or separate technical unit type-approved pursuant to this Directive or a separate directive must be so manufactured as to conform to the type approved by meeting the requirements of this Directive or of a separate directive appearing in the exhaustive list set out in Annex II, Chapter B.
2.2. When granting EC type-approval, the EC type-approval authority in a Member State shall verify the existence of adequate arrangements and documented control plans, to be agreed with the manufacturer for each EC type-approval, for the carrying-out at specified intervals of the tests or associated checks that are needed to verify continued conformity to the approved type, including, where applicable, tests required by the separate directives.
2.3. The holder of the EC type-approval must, in particular:
2.3.1. ensure the existence of procedures for effectively monitoring that products (vehicles, systems, components or separate technical units) conform to the EC type-approval;
2.3.2. have access to the testing equipment necessary for checking conformity to each approved type;
2.3.3. ensure that test results are recorded and that the attachments remain available for a period to be determined in agreement with the EC type-approval authority; this period shall not be greater than 10 years;
2.3.4. analyse the results of each type of test in order to verify and ensure the stability of the product characteristics, subject to the tolerances inherent in industrial production;
2.3.5. ensure that for each type of product at least the checks prescribed in this Directive and the tests prescribed in the applicable separate directives appearing in the exhaustive list set out in Annex II are carried out;
2.3.6. ensure that if any set of samples or test pieces is found not to conform at the end of the test in question, further samples are taken and the tests are repeated. All necessary steps shall be taken to restore conformity of the corresponding production.
2.3.7. In the case of EC vehicle type-approval, the checks referred to in point 2.3.5 shall be restricted to those verifying compliance with the specifications set out in the EC type-approval.
2.4. The authority which granted EC type-approval may at any time verify the conformity control methods applied in each production facility. The normal frequency of these verifications shall be in line with the arrangements (if any) accepted under paragraph 1.2 or 1.3 of this Annex and ensure that the relevant checks are reviewed over a period appropriate to the confidence required by the competent authority.
2.4.1. At every inspection, the test records and production records shall be made available to the visiting inspector.
2.4.2. Where the nature of the test so permits, the inspector may select samples at random to be tested in the manufacturer's laboratory (or in the laboratories of the testing body where a separate directive so provides). The minimum number of samples may be determined according to the results of the manufacturer's own verification.
2.4.3. Where the level of monitoring is unsatisfactory, or where it seems necessary to verify the validity of the tests carried out under point 2.4.2, the inspector shall select samples to be sent to the testing body which conducted the EC type-approval tests.
2.4.4. The EC type-approval authority may carry out any check or test required by this Directive or in the relevant separate directives appearing in the exhaustive list set out in Annex II, Chapter B.
2.4.5. Where unsatisfactory results are found during an inspection, the EC type-approval authority shall ensure that all necessary steps are taken to restore conformity of production as rapidly as possible.
ANNEX V
A - SMALL SERIES LIMITS
>TABLE>
B - LIMITS FOR END-OF-SERIES VEHICLES
The maximum number of vehicles of one or several types entering service in each Member State, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 10, must not exceed 10 % of the number of vehicles of all the types concerned which entered service in the two preceding years in the Member State in question; however, it may not be less than 20.
Vehicles entering service in accordance with this procedure shall be identified by a specific reference on the certificate of conformity.

ANNEX VII
PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED DURING MULTI-STAGE EC TYPE-APPROVAL
1. GENERAL
1.1. The satisfactory operation of the multi-stage EC type-approval process requires concerted action by all the manufacturers concerned. To this end, before granting an initial or subsequent stage EC type-approval, the EC type-approval authority shall ensure that the relevant manufacturers have made suitable arrangements for the supply and interchange of documents and information such that the completed vehicle meets the technical requirements of all the relevant separate directives as set out in Annex II, Chapter B.
Such information must include details of relevant system, component and separate-technical-unit EC type-approvals and of vehicle parts which form part of the incomplete vehicle but are not yet type-approved.
1.2. EC type-approvals in accordance with this Annex are granted on the basis of the current state of completion of the vehicle type and incorporate all EC type-approvals granted at the previous stage.
1.3. Each manufacturer in a multi-stage EC type-approval process shall be responsible for the EC type-approval and conformity of production of all systems, components and separate technical units manufactured by him or added by him to the previously built stage.
