Outline
• Type Approval Information– various terms and what they mean– how information is put together
• Type Approval Processes– step by step– single step– mixed approval– multi stage approval
www.dft.gov.uk/vca 3
Type Approval Information
www.dft.gov.uk/vca 4
Descriptions of Type Approval Information
See Article 3 (paragraphs 37 – 40) for definitions;
• it is permissible to supply information in an electronic file
• VCA prefers to receive it this way!
Information document• the document set out in Annex I or Annex III, or
in the corresponding Annex to a separate directive, or regulation, that prescribes the information to be supplied by an applicant
www.dft.gov.uk/vca 5
Descriptions of Type Approval Information
Annex I • Complete Information Document used in Single
Step process– just the headings which form the template run to
about 70 pages of A4!
Annex III• Partial Information Document used in Step by Step
process – the headings in the template are about 7 pages of A4
www.dft.gov.uk/vca 6
Descriptions of Type Approval Information
Information folder• is supplied by the applicant • the complete folder of information about the type of
vehicle– includes the information document, data, drawings,
photo’s, etc.
Information package • a compilation of;
– the information folder (supplied by the applicant)– test reports, type approval certificates (& other docs)
added by a technical service or approval authority
Type Approval
www.dft.gov.uk/vca 7
Descriptions of Type Approval Information
Index to the information package• the document listing the contents of the
information package, it needs to;– be suitably numbered (or identified) so as to
identify clearly all the pages / items– present a record of the successive steps in
the management of the EC type approval• in particular the dates of the revisions and updating

Type Approval Procedures (Article 6)
The manufacturer may choose one of the following procedures:
(a) step by step type approval(b) single step type approval(c) mixed type approval
www.dft.gov.uk/vca 10
Descriptions of the Processes
See Article 3 (paragraphs 7 – 10) for definitions;Step by step type approval• a procedure where there is an incremental
collection of the complete set of EC type approval certificates for the systems, components and separate technical units relating to the vehicle, and which leads, at the final stage, to the approval of the whole vehicle
Single step type approval• a procedure whereby a vehicle is approved as a
whole by means of one operation
www.dft.gov.uk/vca 11
Descriptions of the Processes
Mixed type approval• a step by step type approval procedure where one or
more system approvals are achieved during the final stage of the approval of the whole vehicle, without it being necessary to issue the EC type approval certificates for those systems
Multi-stage type approval• a procedure whereby one or more Member States
certify that, depending on the state of completion, an incomplete or completed type of vehicle satisfies the relevant administrative provisions and technical requirements
www.dft.gov.uk/vca 12
Step by Step Type Approval
• Traditionally this has been the route chosen by most
• Equally well suited to both single stage and multi stage type approval
• Each System, Component or Separate Technical Unit (STU) has its own discrete type approval package– is comparatively easy to manage– “pigeon hole” approach
www.dft.gov.uk/vca 13
Step by Step Type Approval
Some Pros • A systematic approach well suited to
project management techniques– Each approval can be treated as a ‘work
package’• Makes approvals easily ‘transportable’
– A system approval for spray suppression can easily be used on many different whole vehicle types
www.dft.gov.uk/vca 14
Step by Step Type Approval
Some Cons• Is comparatively more expensive than
Single Step as each approval generally has fees for at least a certificate and admin. – There may also be fees for testing and / or
technical review time• Each time there is an extension to a lower
level approval (e.g. system approvals – such as spray suppression) the whole vehicle approval must be extended
www.dft.gov.uk/vca 15
Single Step Type Approval
• Some use has been made of this in the past– no where near as common as the step by
step process• Multi stage approvals may make this more
common as there is often not much for the final stage to do so it is more manageable
www.dft.gov.uk/vca 16
Single Step Type Approval
Some Pros • Is comparatively less expensive than Step
by Step as there is only one approval– however, as well as a single certificate fee
and an admin fee there are also fees for testing / inspection and / or technical review time
www.dft.gov.uk/vca 17
Single Step Type Approval
Some Cons• The type approval documentation is very
large / ‘heavy’ – may run to several hundred pages
• It may be harder to manage the overall project – everything has to be made ready at once– there may be difficulty controlling versions
www.dft.gov.uk/vca 18
Single Step Type Approval
Some Cons• Information is not very ‘portable’
– All approval information is ‘embedded’ in the Whole Vehicle Type Approval
• e.g. about the spray suppression system data would need to be extracted and recreated in parallel if it is to be used on many different whole vehicle types
www.dft.gov.uk/vca 19
Mixed Type Approval
• This is all about choice and flexibility– the applicant chooses which method suits
best, based on• any particular type of vehicle (or order) • method of operating manufacturing
• A manufacturer in a multi stage approval can always opt for the mixed process
www.dft.gov.uk/vca 20
Mixed Type Approval
• As the name suggests a mixture of both step by step and single step are used
• Almost any combination is allowed– Examples
Base Vehicle
Stages MixedY / N
Steps Steps NSteps Single YSteps Mixed YSingle Single NSingle Steps YSingle Mixed YMixed Steps YMixed … Y
www.dft.gov.uk/vca 21
Mixed Type Approval
• The principal benefit of using the mixed approval process is that the Annex III information document (the light one) is used and augmented with information extracted from Annex I for the subjects where there are no separate approvals– gives the best of both worlds

systems in place4. Prepare Information folder5. Submit for type approval testing6. Receive Type Approval certificate7. Continue to build in compliance
www.dft.gov.uk/vca 26
Legislation
Sources• Legislation is available
– free of charge (help yourself online)– on a subscription basis (pay someone to
find it and keep track of it for you)• VCA has subscription based systems
which can help• There are also other providers

System Approval Example Spray Suppression
www.dft.gov.uk/vca 30
System Approval Example Spray Suppression
• Spray suppression has a wide definition “type”
From Annex I of 91/226/EEC as amended;15. Type of vehicle
“Type of vehicle” means, in relation to spray suppression complete, incomplete or completed vehicles, which do not differ with respect to the following aspects:— type of spray suppression device (installed on the
vehicle),— manufacturer’s spray suppression system type
designation.
One system approval can cover a range of vehicles
www.dft.gov.uk/vca 31
System Approval Example Spray Suppression
Some requirements extracted from directive 91/226/EEC as amended;
1.0 Category N and O vehicles, … shall be constructed and/or fitted with spray suppression systems …
…7.3.5. In the case of multiple axles where distance
‘d’ between the tyres on adjacent axles is less than 250 mm, only the rear set of wheels must be fitted with rain flaps. There must be a rain flap behind each wheel when distance ‘d’ between the tyres on adjacent axles is at least 250 mm (Figure 4 of Annex V).

Whole Vehicle Type Approval Coststhe detail…….
Whole vehicle type approval costs with VCA are; • S&C Cert Fee £37 (£56 for paired
Dir & Reg)• S&C Admin Fee £73 per job• Tech Fee £89 per hour• CoP review / audit £250 / £890 / £1785
• Whole Vehicle Cert fee £75• Whole Vehicle Admin fee £73• Tech fee £89
www.dft.gov.uk/vca 54
Whole Vehicle Type Approval Coststhe factors…
• Passing and failing, don’t assume! more tests or inspections = more money!
• The complication factors – consolidate options that affect approval
• Adopting early means less panic and more knowledge of the process
• Maximise the multi-stage process to your benefit – e.g outsource to others if your approval doesn’t cover it
www.dft.gov.uk/vca 55
So what does it all mean?
• 1st type– Approx £5,000 - £7,000
• Subsequent types– from £300 if an additional chassis for same vehicle
www.dft.gov.uk/vca 56
And afterwards?
• Issue Certificates of Conformities– 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 57
