COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/1825

of 6 September 2016

amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 901/2014 with regard to the administrative requirements for the approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 168/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 January 2013 on the approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles (1), and in particular Articles 27(4), 29(4), 30(2) and (3), 32(1), 38(2), 39(3), 40(4) and Article 72 thereof,

Whereas:

 

(1)

To allow the type-approval of fuel tanks as a separate technical unit, a specific information document containing the related information should be inserted as a new Appendix to Annex I to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 901/2014 (2).

 

(2)

In order to reduce the administrative burden on manufacturers, in particular with regard to vehicles of categories L6e and L7e, additional system type-approvals should be allowed.

 

(3)

To ensure that in the case of vehicles equipped with Continuous Variable Transmission all relevant information is provided, the table specifying information on gear ratios to be entered into the information document should be amended.

 

(4)

In order to establish a clear link between the two configurations of vehicles capable of converting their performance level from subcategory (L3e/L4e)-A2 to (L3e/L4e)-A3 and vice versa, and to facilitate vehicle owners' access to that information, an entry for the EU type-approval number of the original configuration should be added to the template set out in Appendix 24 to Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 901/2014 and to the template for the certificate of conformity set out in Annex IV to that Implementing Regulation.

 

(5)

To provide further information in the case of new technologies and new concepts, additional entries should be inserted in the templates for type-approval certificates for systems, components or separate technical units.

 

(6)

For the purposes of clarity and consistency some explanatory notes should be amended or deleted.

 

(7)

Implementing Regulation (EU) No 901/2014 should therefore be amended accordingly.

 

(8)

In order to allow additional time for manufacturers and national authorities to achieve a timely application of the amendments provided for in this Regulation, this Regulation should enter into force as a matter of urgency, especially taking into account that Regulation (EU) No 168/2013 became applicable on 1 January 2016 and that related administrative requirements will become compulsory with regard to all new vehicles registered or placed on the market as from 1 January 2018.

 

(9)

The applicability of the amendments to the templates for the certificates of conformity should be deferred until 1 September 2017 in order to provide manufacturers and national authorities with additional lead-time for the adaptation of their administrative arrangements for the registration of vehicles, and in particular their information technology systems, to those amendments.

 

(10)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the committee referred to in Article 73(1) of Regulation (EU) No 168/2013,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1
