Test mode needed. In addition to the requirements EMC tests described in Annexes 4 to 22 to UN Regulation No 10, the following procedure before and during initial EMC tests shall be followed: 1. When a fully automated vehicle with an ADS is EMC tested, the ADS functions should be switched on and also work in active mode. However certain limitations in use case can be observed. Therefore, before executing the EMC test, the type-approval authority needs to be consulted about the test program to agree about the Pass/Fail criteria proposal made by the EMC lab according to paragraph 6.1.2 of UN Regulation No 10. Before testing the Technical Service has to prepare a test plan in conjunction with the manufacturer, which contains at least mode of operation, stimulated function(s), monitored function(s), pass/fail criterion (criteria) and intended emissions. 2. The manufacturer of the vehicle or Electric/electronic subassembly (ESA) shall fill in the information according to UN Regulation 10, Annex 2A or 2B. The EMC lab shall make this available as an annex to the test report. 3. In case if a remote intervention is used and could influence the behaviour of the vehicle the remote intervention should be part of the EMC test plan. 4. When it’s needed during the initial test, to install Ferrite blocks or aluminium foil on several elements to pass the EMC tests, it proves that the EMC design was weak and potentially prone to variation. Therefore the initial tests can never be used for further revision or extension for further vehicles or adding/changing ESAs (Electronic Sub-Assemblies) to the vehicle/DUTs. |

Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 |
X Each wheelchair location shall be provided with anchorages to which a wheelchair tie-down and occupant restraint system (WTORS) is to be fitted, and that complies with the additional provisions for testing the wheelchair tie down and occupant restraint system set out below. 1. Definitions 1.1. Surrogate wheelchair (SWC) means a rigid, re-usable test wheelchair, as defined in Section 3 of international standard ISO 10542-1:2012. 1.2. Point P means a representation of the position of the wheelchair occupant’s hip when seated in the SWC, as defined in Section 3 of international standard ISO 10542-1:2012. At the request of the manufacturer, a heavier surrogate wheelchair may be used, provided it has the same dimensional characteristics and centre of gravity position as the prescribed version. The pneumatic tyres may be replaced with solid or foam-filled versions in the same size. 1.3. WTORS means a wheelchair tie-down and occupant restraint system. 2. General requirements 2.1. Each wheelchair location shall be provided with anchorages to which a WTORS can be fitted. 2.2. The wheelchair occupant’s lower belt anchorages shall be located in accordance with paragraph 5.4.2.2 UN Regulation No 14, relative to Point P on the SWC, when placed in the travelling position designated by the manufacturer. The upper actual anchorage(s) shall be located at least 1 100 mm above the horizontal plane passing through the points of contact between the rear tyres of the SWC and the vehicle floor. That condition shall still be satisfied after the test carried out in accordance with points 3 or 4 below. Either point 3 or 4 shall apply. 3. Static in-vehicle testing 3.1. Wheelchair occupant restraint anchorages 3.1.1. The wheelchair occupant restraint anchorages shall resist the static forces prescribed for occupant restraint anchorages in UN Regulation No 14, simultaneously with the static forces applied to the wheelchair tie-down anchorages as specified in point 3.2. 3.2. Wheelchair tie-down anchorages The wheelchair tie-down anchorages shall resist the following forces, for at least 0,2 seconds, applied via the SWC (or a suitable surrogate wheelchair having a wheelbase, seat height and tie-down attachment points in accordance with the specification for the SWC), at a height of 300 +/– 100 mm from the surface on which the SWC rests: 3.2.1. In the case of a forward-facing wheelchair, a simultaneous force, coinciding with the force applied to the occupant restraint anchorages, of 24,5 kN; and 3.2.2. a second test applying a static force of 8,2 kN directed towards the rear of the vehicle. 3.2.3. In the case of a rearward-facing wheelchair, a simultaneous force, coincident with the force applied to the occupant restraint anchorages, of 8,2 kN, and 3.2.4. a second test applying a static force of 24,5 kN directed towards the front of the vehicle 4. Dynamic in-vehicle testing 4.1. The full assembly of the WTORS system shall be tested by an in-vehicle dynamic test in accordance with points 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 and Annex A to international standard ISO 10542-1:2012, testing all components/anchorages simultaneously, using a vehicle body-in-white or representative structure. |

Safety-belts and restraint systems |
Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 |
X Each wheelchair location is to be provided with an occupant restraint belt that complies with the additional provisions for testing the wheelchair tie down and occupant restraint system of set out below. When, due to the conversion, anchorage points for the safety belts need to be moved outside the tolerance provided for in paragraph 7.7.1 of UN Regulation No 16, the technical service shall check whether the alteration constitutes a worst-case or not. If that is the case, the test provided for in paragraph 7.7.1 of UN Regulation No 16 shall be performed. The test may be performed using components that have not undergone the conditioning test prescribed by UN Regulation No 16. 1. Definitions 1.1. Surrogate wheelchair (SWC) means a rigid, re-usable test wheelchair, as defined in Section 3 of international standard ISO 10542-1:2012. 1.2. Point P means a representation of the position of the wheelchair occupant’s hip when seated in the SWC, as defined in Section 3 of international standard ISO 10542-1:2012. At the request of the manufacturer, a heavier surrogate wheelchair may be used, provided it has the same dimensional characteristics and centre of gravity position as the prescribed version. The pneumatic tyres may be replaced with solid or foam-filled versions in the same size. 1.3. WTORS means a wheelchair tie-down and occupant restraint system. 2. General requirements 2.1. An assessment shall be made of the WTORS occupant belt to ensure compliance with paragraphs 8.2.2 to 8.2.2.4 and 8.3.1 to 8.3.4 of UN Regulation No 16. Either point 3. or 4. shall apply. 3. Static in-vehicle testing 3.1. Components of the system 3.1.1. Where the WTORS anchorages have been tested statically in the vehicle, all components of the WTORS shall meet the relevant requirements of international standard ISO 10542-1:2012. However, the dynamic test specified in Annex A to, and points 5.2.2. and 5.2.3. of, international standard ISO 10542-1:2012 shall be carried out on the complete WTORS using the vehicle anchorage geometry instead of the test geometry specified in Annex A to international standard ISO 10542-1:2012. This may be carried out within the vehicle structure or on a surrogate structure representative of the vehicle’s WTORS anchorage geometry. The location of each anchorage used for the test shall lie within the tolerance provided for in paragraph 7.7.1 of UN Regulation No 16, of its true position relative to Point P. 3.1.2. Where the occupant restraint part of the WTORS is approved in accordance with UN Regulation No 16, it shall be subject to the dynamic test as part of the complete WTORS specified in point 3.1.1., however, the requirements of points 5.1, 5.3 and 5.4 of international standard ISO10542-1:2012 shall be considered to have been met. 4. Dynamic in-vehicle testing 4.1. Where the WTORS anchorages have been tested dynamically in the vehicle, the component parts of the WTORS shall meet the relevant requirements of international standard ISO 10542-1:2012, points 5.1, 5.3 and 5.4. These requirements shall be deemed to have been met in respect of the occupant restraint if it is approved in accordance with UN Regulation No 16. |

Tailpipe emissions of vehicle in lab |
Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 |
G Modification in the exhaust system is permitted without any further test of tailpipe emissions provided that the emission control devices, including particulate filters (if any), are not affected. In case of conversion of a vehicle (e.g. in a multi-stage type-approval process), the manufacturer responsible for the conversion needs to consult the original (complete or incomplete) vehicle manufacturer to get confirmation that the converted vehicle is covered by the emission approval of the original (complete or incomplete) vehicle. In such a case it is acceptable if the reference mass of the converted vehicle will exceed 2 840 kg. |

Determination of specific CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of vehicle and device for monitoring on board the vehicle the consumption of fuel and/or electric energy |
Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 |
G Modification in the exhaust system is permitted without any further test of CO2/fuel consumption provided that the emission control devices, including particulate filters (if any), are not affected. In the case of multi-stage type-approval, the new CO2 value shall be calculated in accordance with the CO2 interpolation method, using the relevant data from the completed vehicle. Alternatively, the new CO2 value shall be calculated on the basis of the parameters of the completed vehicle as specified in paragraph 3.2.4 of Annex B7 to UN Regulation 154 and using the road load matrix tool supplied by the manufacturer of the base vehicle. If the tool is not available or CO2 interpolation is impractical, the CO2 value of Vehicle High from the base vehicle shall be used, at the request of the manufacturer responsible for the conversion, and with the agreement of the approval authority. |

ANNEX IV
CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION PROCEDURES
1. Objectives
|
1.1. |
The conformity of production procedure aims to ensure that each vehicle, system, component and technical separate unit, part or equipment produced is in conformity with the approved type. |
|
1.2. |
The conformity of production procedure shall always include the assessment of quality-assurance management systems, referred to in point 2 as the ‘initial assessment’, and the verification of the type-approval subject and product-related controls, referred to in point 3 as ‘product conformity arrangements’. |
2. Initial assessment
|
2.1. |
Before granting type-approval, the approval authority shall verify that the manufacturer has established satisfactory arrangements and procedures for ensuring that vehicles, systems, components, separate technical units or parts and equipment are produced in conformity with the approved type. |
|
2.2. |
Guidance for conducting those assessments may be found in standard EN ISO 19011:2011 — Guidelines for auditing management systems. |
|
2.3. |
Compliance with the requirements of point 2.1 shall be verified to the satisfaction of the approval authority, as follows: The approval authority shall be satisfied with the initial assessment and the product conformity arrangements referred to in point 3, taking into account one of the arrangements referred to in points 2.3.1 to 2.3.3, or a combination of those arrangements in full or in part as appropriate.
|
|
2.4. |
For the purpose of vehicle type-approval, the initial assessments carried out for the granting of type-approvals for systems, components and separate technical units of the vehicle need not be repeated, but shall be completed by an assessment of the locations and activities relating to the assembly of the whole vehicle that have not been covered by the initial assessments. |
3. Product conformity arrangements
|
3.1. |
Every vehicle, system, component or separate technical unit, part or item of equipment approved pursuant to a UN Regulation annexed to the Revised 1958 Agreement and to this Regulation shall be so manufactured as to conform to the type approved by meeting the requirements of this Annex, the said UN Regulation and this Regulation. |
|
3.2. |
Before granting a type-approval pursuant to this Regulation and to a UN Regulation annexed to the Revised 1958 Agreement, the approval authority shall verify the existence of adequate product conformity arrangements and documented control plans, to be agreed with the manufacturer for each approval, to carry out at specified intervals the tests or associated checks that are necessary to verify continued conformity with the approved type, including, where applicable, tests specified in this Regulation and the said UN Regulation. |
|
3.3. |
The holder of the type-approval shall, in particular:
3.3.1.
ensure the existence and application of procedures for effective control of the conformity of vehicles, systems, components, separate technical units, parts or equipment to the approved type;
3.3.2.
have access to the testing or other appropriate equipment necessary for checking the conformity to each approved type;
3.3.3.
ensure that the data resulting from tests or checks are recorded and that annexed documents remain available for a period of up to 10 years to be determined in agreement with the approval authority;
3.3.4.
analyse the results of each type of test or check, in order to verify and ensure the stability of the product characteristics, making allowance for variation of an industrial production;
3.3.5.
ensure that for each type of product, at least the checks prescribed in this Regulation and the tests prescribed in the relevant regulatory acts listed in Annex II are carried out;
3.3.6.
ensure that any set of samples or test pieces that gives evidence of non-conformity in the type of test in question, gives rise to a further sampling and testing. All the necessary steps shall be taken to restore the production process to ensure conformity with the approved type. |
|
3.4. |
In the case of step-by-step, mixed or multi-stage type-approvals, the approval authority that is granting a whole-vehicle type-approval may request from any approval authority that has granted type-approval of any relevant system, component or separate technical unit specific details regarding compliance with the conformity of production requirements set out in this Annex. |
|
3.5. |
The approval authority that is granting a whole-vehicle type-approval and is not satisfied with the reported information referred to in point 3.4., and that has communicated this in writing to the relevant manufacturer and to the approval authority granting the type-approval for the system, component or separate technical unit, shall request the performance of additional conformity of production audits or checks, which shall be performed at the site of the manufacturer(s) of those systems, components or separate technical units. The results of this additional conformity of production audits or checks shall immediately be made available to that approval authority. |
|
3.6. |
Where points 3.4. and 3.5. apply and the approval authority granting the whole-vehicle type-approval has not been satisfied with the additional audit or check results, the manufacturer shall ensure that conformity of production is restored as soon as possible to the satisfaction of that approval authority and of the approval authority granting type-approval of the system, component or separate technical unit. |
4. Continued verification arrangements
|
4.1. |
The approval authority that has granted type-approval may at any time verify the conformity control methods applied in each production facility by means of periodic audits. The manufacturer shall for that purpose allow access to that authority to the manufacturing, inspection, testing, storage and distribution sites and shall provide all necessary information with regard to the quality management system documentation and records.
|
|
4.2. |
At every review, records of tests or checks and records of production, in particular records of those tests or checks documented as required in point 2.2, shall be made available to the inspector. |
|
4.3. |
The inspector may select samples at random manner to be tested in the manufacturer's laboratory or in the facilities of the technical service. In such a case only physical test shall be carried out. The minimum number of samples may be determined on the basis of the results of the manufacturer's own verification. |
|
4.4. |
The inspector who is of the opinion that the level of control is unsatisfactory, or who deems it necessary to verify the validity of the tests carried out in accordance with point 4.2, shall select samples to be sent to a technical service to perform physical tests in accordance with the requirements on conformity of production, set out in the regulatory acts listed in Annex II. |
|
4.5. |
Where unsatisfactory results are found during an inspection or a monitoring review, the approval authority shall take all necessary steps to ensure that the manufacturer restores the conformity of production as rapidly as possible. |
|
4.6. |
In cases where compliance with UN Regulations is required by this Regulation, the manufacturer may choose to apply this Annex as an equivalent alternative to the conformity of production requirements in the respective UN Regulations. However, if points 4.4. or 4.5. apply, all separate conformity of production requirements in the UN Regulations have to be complied with to the satisfaction of the approval authority until it decides that conformity of production has been restored. |
5. Arrangements concerning software update
The software update management system of the manufacturer as well as the whole vehicle type shall comply with the requirements as set out in UN Regulation 156.

ANNEX VII
REGULATORY ACTS FOR WHICH A MANUFACTURER MAY BE DESIGNATED AS A TECHNICAL SERVICE
1. Objectives and scope
|
1.1. |
This Annex lays down the list of the regulatory acts for which an in-house technical service of a manufacturer may be designated as a technical service in accordance with Article 72(1). |
|
1.2. |
It also includes appropriate provisions concerning the designation of an in-house technical service of a manufacturer as technical service, to be applied in the framework of the type-approval of vehicles, components and separate technical units concerned by Part I of Annex II. |
|
1.3. |
This Annex however does not apply to manufacturers who apply for the EU type-approval of vehicles produced in small series, as referred to in Article 41. |
2. Designation of an in-house technical service of a manufacturer as a technical service
|
2.1. |
An in-house technical service of a manufacturer designated as a technical service is a manufacturer which has been designated by the type-approval authority as a testing laboratory to carry out on its behalf the approval tests. The expression ‘to carry out tests’ is not restricted to the measurement of performances, but also covers the registration of test results and the submission to the type-approval authority of a report, including the relevant conclusions. It also covers the checking of compliance with those provisions that do not necessarily require measurement. This is the case for the assessment whether the design complies with the legislative requirements. |

ANNEX IX
PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED DURING MULTI-STAGE TYPE-APPROVAL
1. Obligations of manufacturers
|
1.1. |
The satisfactory operation of the multi-stage type-approval requires joint action by all the manufacturers concerned. To that end approval authorities must ensure, before granting first and subsequent stage type-approvals, that suitable arrangements exist between the relevant manufacturers for the supply and interchange of documents and information, so that the completed type of vehicle meets the technical requirements of all the relevant regulatory acts listed in Annex II. Such information must include details of relevant system, component and separate technical unit type-approvals and of vehicle parts that form part of the incomplete vehicle but have not yet been type-approved. |
|
1.2. |
Each manufacturer involved in a multi-stage type-approval shall be responsible for the approval and conformity of production of all systems, components or separate technical units manufactured or added by that manufacturer to the previously built stage. The manufacturer of the subsequent stage shall not be responsible for objects that have been approved in an earlier stage, except where that manufacturer modifies relevant parts to such an extent that the previously granted type-approval becomes invalid. |
2. Obligations of approval authorities
|
2.1. |
The approval authority shall:
(a)
verify that all EU type-approval certificates issued pursuant to the regulatory acts that are applicable for vehicle type-approval cover the type of vehicle at its state of completion and correspond to the prescribed requirements;
(b)
ensure that all the relevant data, taking account of the state of completion of the vehicle, is included in the information folder;
(c)
by reference to the documentation ensure that the vehicle specification(s) and data contained in the information folder are included in the data in the information packages and in the EU type-approval certificates issued in accordance with the relevant regulatory acts; and in the case of a completed vehicle, where an item number of the information folder is not included in the information package of any of the regulatory acts, confirm that the relevant part or characteristic conforms to the particulars in the information folder;
(d)
on a selected sample of vehicles from the type to be approved carry out or arrange to be carried out inspections of vehicle parts and systems to verify that the vehicle(s) is/are built in accordance with the relevant data contained in the authenticated information package in accordance with all relevant regulatory acts; and
(e)
where required carry out, or arrange to be carried out, relevant installation checks for separate technical units. |
|
2.2. |
The number of vehicles to be inspected for the purposes of point 2.1 (d) shall be sufficient to permit the proper control of the various combinations to be EU type-approved according to the state of completion of the vehicle and the following criteria:
—
engine;
—
gearbox;
—
powered axles (number, position, interconnection);
—
steered axles (number and position);
—
body styles;
—
number of doors;
—
hand of drive;
—

|
3. Applicable requirements
|
3.1. |
Multi-stage type-approvals shall be granted on the basis of the state of completion of the type of vehicle and shall incorporate all type-approvals granted at earlier stages. |
|
3.2. |
For the whole-vehicle type-approval, this Regulation (in particular the requirements of Annex I and the particular regulatory acts listed in Annex II) shall apply in the same manner as if the approval would have been granted (or extended) to the manufacturer of the base vehicle.
|
|
3.3. |
Subject to the agreement of the approval authority, a whole-vehicle type-approval granted to the manufacturer of the subsequent stage of completion of the vehicle does not need to be extended or revised where an extension given at the previous stage vehicle does not affect the subsequent stage or the technical data of the vehicle. However, the type-approval number including the extension of the previous stage(s) vehicle shall be copied in the certificate of conformity of the subsequent stage vehicle. |
|
3.4. |
Where the cargo area of a complete or completed vehicle of category N or O is modified by another manufacturer for the addition of removable fittings to store and secure the cargo (for example, load space lining, storage racks and roof racks), such items can be treated as part of the pay-mass and a type-approval is not needed, provided both of the following conditions are met:
(a)
the modifications do not affect the vehicle's type-approval in any way, other than an increase of the actual mass of the vehicle;
(b)
the added fittings can be removed without using special tools. |
4. Identification of the vehicle
|
4.1. |
The VIN, prescribed by Regulation (EU) No 19/2011, shall be retained during all the subsequent stages of the type-approval to ensure the traceability of the process. |
|
4.2. |
At the second and subsequent stages, in addition to the statutory plate prescribed by Regulation (EU) No 19/2011, each manufacturer shall affix to the vehicle an additional plate the model of which is shown in the Appendix to this Annex. This plate shall be firmly attached, in a conspicuous and readily accessible position on a part not subject to replacement in use. It shall clearly and indelibly show the following information in the order listed:
—
the name of the manufacturer;
—
sections 1, 3 and 4 of the EU type-approval number;
—
the stage of approval;
—
the VIN of the base vehicle;
—
the technically permissible maximum laden mass of the vehicle where the value has changed during the current stage of approval;
—
the technically permissible maximum laden mass of the combination (where the value has changed during the current stage of approval and where the vehicle is permitted to tow a trailer). ‘0’ shall be used if the vehicle is not permitted to tow a trailer;
—
the technically permissible maximum mass on each axle, listed in order from front to rear where the value has changed during the current stage of approval;
—
in the case of a semi-trailer or centre axle trailer, the technically permissible maximum mass at the coupling point where the value has changed during the current stage of approval.
Unless otherwise provided for in point 4.1 and this point the additional plate shall comply with the requirements set out in Annex I and Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 19/2011. |
