1.2.3. Classification of complete vehicles or completed vehicles
The classification of complete or completed vehicles that are heavy buses is based on the following six criteria:
Number of axles;
Vehicle code as set out in Annex I, part C, point 3, to Regulation (EU) 2018/858;
Class of vehicle in accordance with paragraph 2 of UN Regulation No. 107 ( 2 );
Low entry vehicle (‘yes/no’ information derived from vehicle code and type of axle) to be determined according the decision flow shown in Figure 1;
Number of passengers in lower deck from the Certificate of Conformity as set out in Annex VIII to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/683 ( 3 ) or equivalent documents in the case of individual vehicle approval;
Height of the integrated body to be determined in accordance with Annex VIII.
