Notes to the table

The series of amendments indicated in the table reflects the version that has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union and is without prejudice to the series of amendments that shall be complied with on the basis of the transitional provisions provided therein.

Compliance with a series of amendments adopted after the particular series indicated in the table shall be accepted as an alternative.

The dates specified in the relevant series of amendments of the UN Regulations listed in the table, as regards the obligations of Contracting Parties to the ‘Revised 1958 Agreement’, linked to first registration, entry into service, making available on the market, sale, the recognition of type‐approvals, and any similar provisions, apply on a compulsory basis for the purposes of Articles 48 and 50 of Regulation (EU) 2018/858 except where alternative dates are specified in Annex II to this Regulation in which case those alternative dates are to be followed instead.

In certain instances, a UN Regulation listed in the table provides in its transitional provisions that as from a specified date, Contracting Parties to the ‘Revised 1958 Agreement’ applying a certain series of amendments to that UN Regulation shall not be obliged to accept or may refuse to accept, for the purpose of national or regional type-approval, a type approved in accordance with a preceding series of amendments, or wording with similar intention and meaning. This shall be construed as a binding provision for national authorities to consider the certificates of conformity to be no longer valid for the purposes of Article 48 of Regulation (EU) 2018/858, except where alternative dates are specified in Annex II to this Regulation in which case those alternative dates are to be followed instead.

►M5  

A Universal International Whole Vehicle Type Approval issued for a type of vehicles of category M1 under UN Regulation No 0 (OJ L 135, 31.5.2018, p. 1), that includes type-approval under the UN Regulations concerned in the list in this Annex, shall be considered equivalent to an EU type-approval granted under this Regulation.
