(Text with EEA relevance) (repealed)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Directive 2009/40/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May2009 on roadworthiness tests for motor vehicles and their trailers(1), and in particular Article6(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) In the interests of road-safety, environmental protection and fair competition it isimportant to ensure that vehicles in operation are properly maintained and tested, inorder to maintain their performance as guaranteed by type-approval, without excessivedegradation, throughout their life-time.

(2) Standards and methods, as referred to in Art. 6 (1) of Directive 2009/40/EC, shouldbe further defined and adapted to reflect technical progress, in order to improve motorvehicle roadworthiness testing in the European Union in a cost-effective manner.

(3) The findings of two projects, Autofore(2) and Idelsy(3) which recently dealt with futureoptions for roadworthiness testing, and the outcome of an open and factual dialoguewith stakeholders should be taken into account.

(4) The current state of vehicle technology requires modern electronic systems to beincluded in the list of items to be tested.

(5) In order to achieve further harmonisation of roadworthiness testing, testing methodsshould be introduced for each of the test items.

(6) To facilitate further harmonisation and for reasons of consistency of standards, a non-exhaustive list of the main reasons for failure, as already exists for braking systems,should now be included for all test items.

(7) Roadworthiness tests should cover all items relevant to the specific design, constructionand equipment of the tested vehicle. Therefore, where necessary, specific requirementsfor particular vehicle categories should be added.

Document Generated: 2021-03-28Status: This is the original version (as it was originally adopted).

(8) Member States have extended the periodic test requirement pursuant to Article 5(e)of Directive 2009/40/EC to other categories of vehicles. For the purpose of furtherharmonised testing, methods and standards for those categories of vehicles should beincluded. The tests should be carried out using techniques and equipment currentlyavailable, and without the use of tools to dismantle or remove any part of the vehicle.

(9) In addition to the items related to safety, security and environmental protection, the testalso needs to cover identification of the vehicle in order to ensure that the correct testsand standards are applied, to enable the results of the test to be recorded and to enableenforcement of other legal requirements.

(10) To facilitate the functioning of the internal market, and to improve methods ofroadworthiness testing, the results of a test should be set out in a roadworthinesscertificate covering certain core elements.

(11) Further work needs to be done in the field of developing alternative test procedures tocheck the maintenance condition of diesel driven vehicles, particularly concerning NOxand particulates taking into account new emission after-treatment systems.

(12) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of thecommittee on the adaptation to technical progress of the Directive on roadworthinesstests for motor vehicles and their trailers instituted by Article 7 of Directive 2009/40/EC,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Annex II to Directive 2009/40/EC is replaced by the following:

‘ANNEX II

ITEMS TO BE COMPULSORY TESTED

1. INTRODUCTION

This Annex identifies the vehicle systems and components to be tested; it details the method oftesting them and the criteria to be used when determining whether the condition of the vehicleis acceptable.

Where the vehicle is found to be defective with regard to the test items listed, the competentauthorities in the Member States must adopt a procedure for setting the conditions under whichthe vehicle may be used before passing another roadworthiness test.

The test must cover at least the items listed below, provided that these are related to theequipment of the vehicle being tested in the Member State concerned.

The tests should be carried out using techniques and equipment currently available without theuse of tools to dismantle or remove any part of the vehicle.

All the items listed should be considered as mandatory at a periodic test of vehicles, exceptthose marked with the indication (X), which are related to the condition of the vehicle and itssuitability for use on the road but which are not considered essential in a periodic test.

‘Reasons for failure’ do not apply in cases where they refer to requirements which were notprescribed in the relevant vehicle approval legislation at the time of first registration, first entryinto service or retrofitting requirements.

Where a method of inspection is given as visual, it means that in addition to looking at theitems, the inspector should, if appropriate, also handle them, evaluate noise or use any otherappropriate means of inspection without the use of equipment.

2. SCOPE OF INSPECTION

The inspection shall cover at least the items listed below, provided that these are related to theinstalled equipment of the vehicle being tested.

(0) Identification of the vehicle;

(2) Steering;

(3) Visibility;

(4) Lighting equipment and parts of electric system;

(5) Axles, wheels, tyres, suspension;
