Type Approval WG
The Type Approval Working Group monitors future Type Approval
draft regulations, standards, and vehicle legislation through
participation with UK government bodies (i.e. DfT) and official bodies
in the UN and in Europe. There are over 60 EC Directives and
Regulations and also over 120 UNECE Regulations relating to Type
Approval, covering every aspects of motor vehicle and trailer
manufacture.
These requirements can be found in 2007/46/EC the Framework Directive. This Directive allows for many routes for vehicle type approval:
• European Whole Vehicle Type Approval (ECWVTA). • European Small Series Type Approval (ESSTA). • National Small Series Type Approval (NSSTA). • National Individual Vehicle Approval (NIVA).

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
21
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.

Type Approval Process
Vehicles can be approved in either;
• Single stage approval
Image: Magnus Manske
• Multi stage approval
Image: Unisouth
www.dft.gov.uk/vca
Type Approval Process
• 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
Type Approval Process
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
Conformity of Production (CoP)
• 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
49
www.dft.gov.uk/vca
Conformity of Production (CoP)
• CoP clearance is required for Type Approval
– Control Plan – a detailed description of all the
checks performed that ensure completed
product conforms to each aspect of the
approval
50
www.dft.gov.uk/vca 51
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
52
Maintain your approval!!!!
www.dft.gov.uk/vca 53

How has the SMMT influenced the process?
SOCIETY OF MOTOR MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS LIMITED PAGE 71
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
SOCIETY OF MOTOR MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS LIMITED PAGE 72
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
SOCIETY OF MOTOR MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS LIMITED PAGE 73
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.

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.

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.

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.
SOCIETY OF MOTOR MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS LIMITED PAGE 91
What other ways can we
assist you?
SOCIETY OF MOTOR MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS LIMITED PAGE 92
SENTA
SMMT European and National
Type Approval
SOCIETY OF MOTOR MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS LIMITED PAGE 93
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).
