2007/46/EC Since 2007: Annex IV either revised or amended 4 times Lists of regulatory Acts updated to cover Small Series changes etc. How has the SMMT influenced the process? SOCIETY OF MOTOR MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS LIMITED PAGE 45
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 46
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 47
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. SOCIETY OF MOTOR MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS LIMITED PAGE 48
Nationally Vehicle Enhancement Scheme for N1 and certain N2 ‘Vans’. Concerns raised by Members regarding how to fit out vans with simple systems that only affect Masses & Dimensions Do these vehicles require full approval IVA? If so, additional costs burdens to industry and the end user. SOCIETY OF MOTOR MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS LIMITED PAGE 49
Nationally Vehicle Enhancement Scheme for N1 and certain N2 ‘Vans’. Lobbied UK Government to allow these items to be considered ‘payload’ and hence exempt from approval requirements. Presented evidence to support the request based on other member states interpretation. SOCIETY OF MOTOR MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS LIMITED PAGE 50
Nationally Vehicle Enhancement Scheme for N1 and certain N2 ‘Vans’. Outcome – DFT & VCA introduced the Enhancement Scheme Low cost scheme to ensure final vehicles comply with COP and legislative requirements. SOCIETY OF MOTOR MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS LIMITED PAGE 51

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? SOCIETY OF MOTOR MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS LIMITED PAGE 56
2007/46/EC ARTICLE 5 OBLIGATIONS OF MANUFACTURERS 1. The manufacturer is responsible to the approval authority for all aspects of the approval process and for ensuring conformity of production, whether or not the manufacturer is directly involved in all stages of the construction of a vehicle, system, component or separate technical unit. 2. In the case of multi-stage type-approval, each manufacturer is responsible for the approval and conformity of production of the systems, components or separate technical units added at the stage of vehicle completion handled by him . The manufacturer who modifies components or systems already approved at earlier stages shall be responsible for the approval and conformity of production of those components and systems. SOCIETY OF MOTOR MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS LIMITED PAGE 57
2007/46/EC ARTICLE 30 VEHICLES, SYSTEMS, COMPONENTS OR SEPARATE TECHNICAL UNITS NOT IN CONFORMITY WITH THE APPROVED TYPE 1.

The approval authority of that Member State shall advise the approval authorities of the other Member States of the measures taken. SOCIETY OF MOTOR MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS LIMITED PAGE 58
2007/46/EC ARTICLE 30 VEHICLES, SYSTEMS, COMPONENTS OR SEPARATE TECHNICAL UNITS NOT IN CONFORMITY WITH THE APPROVED TYPE 2. For the purposes of Paragraph 1, deviations from the particulars in the EC type-approval certificate or the information package shall be deemed to constitute failure to conform to the approved type.

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. EU considering the issue and SMMT actively participates in the current discussions and lobbies as required. SOCIETY OF MOTOR MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS LIMITED PAGE 66
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. SOCIETY OF MOTOR MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS LIMITED PAGE 67
Nationally: Revisions have been published to the VOSA IVA Manuals for N2/3 and M2/3 Brake test requirements have been published relating to IVA testing of trailers SOCIETY OF MOTOR MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS LIMITED PAGE 68
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 69

SENTA - SMMT European and National Type Approval guide 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).
