(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular

Article 91 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee1,

After consulting the Committee of the Regions,

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure2,

1 OJ C 44, 15.2.2013, p 128. 2 Position of the European Parliament of 11 March 2014 (not yet published in the Official

Journal) and decision of the Council of 24 March 2014.

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 1 EN

Whereas:

(1) In its White Paper of 28 March 2011 entitled 'Roadmap to a Single European Transport

Area – Towards a competitive and resource efficient transport system', the Commission set

out a 'zero-vision' objective whereby the Union should move close to zero fatalities in road

transport by 2050. With a view to attaining that objective, vehicle technology is expected

to contribute greatly to the improvement of the safety record of road transport.

(2) In its Communication entitled 'Towards a European road safety area: policy orientations on

road safety 2011-2020', the Commission proposed a further halving of the overall number

of road fatalities in the Union by 2020, starting from 2010. With a view to attaining that

goal, the Commission set out seven strategic objectives, and identified actions for safer

vehicles, a strategy to reduce the number of injuries and measures to improve the safety of

vulnerable road users, in particular motorcyclists.

(3) Roadworthiness testing is a part of a wider regime designed to ensure that vehicles are kept

in a safe and environmentally acceptable condition during their use. That regime should

cover periodic roadworthiness testing of vehicles and technical roadside inspection of

vehicles used for commercial road transport activities, as well as providing for a vehicle

registration procedure allowing for the suspension of a vehicle's authorisation to be used in

road traffic where the vehicle constitutes an immediate risk to road safety. Periodic testing

should be the main tool to ensure roadworthiness. Roadside inspections of commercial

vehicles should merely be complementary to periodic testing.

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 2 EN

(4) A number of technical standards and requirements in respect of vehicle safety and

environmental characteristics have been adopted within the Union. It is necessary to

ensure, through a regime of unexpected technical roadside inspections, that vehicles

remain roadworthy.

(5) Technical roadside inspections are a crucial element for the achievement of a continuous

high level of roadworthiness of commercial vehicles throughout their use. Such inspections

contribute not only to road safety and a reduction of vehicle emissions but also to avoiding

unfair competition in road transport due to acceptance of different inspection levels as

between the Member States.

(6) Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council1 established

the European Register of Road Transport Undertakings (ERRU). ERRU allows national

electronic registers of transport undertakings to be interconnected throughout the Union, in

compliance with the Union rules on the protection of personal data. The use of that system,

operated by the competent authority of each Member State, facilitates cooperation among

Member States.

1 Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 establishing common rules concerning the conditions to be complied with to pursue the occupation of road transport operator and repealing Council Directive 96/26/EC (OJ L 300, 14.11.2009, p. 51).

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 3 EN

(7) This Directive should apply to certain commercial vehicles with a design speed exceeding

25 km/h of the categories defined in Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and

the Council1. It should not, however, prevent the Member States from carrying out

technical roadside inspections on vehicles not covered by this Directive or checking other

aspects of road transport, in particular those relating to driving and resting time or the

transport of dangerous goods.

(8) Wheeled tractors with a maximum design speed exceeding 40 km/h are increasingly used

to replace trucks in local transport activities and for commercial road haulage purposes.

Their risk potential is comparable to that of trucks, and vehicles in that category, which are

used mainly on public roads, should therefore be treated in the same way as trucks when it

comes to technical roadside inspections.

1 Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 5 September 2007 establishing a framework for the approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles (OJ L 263, 9.10.2007, p. 1).

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 4 EN

(9) Reports on the implementation of Directive 2000/30/EC of the European Parliament and of

the Council1 clearly show the importance of technical roadside inspections. During the

period from 2009 to 2010, more than 350 000 vehicles subject to technical roadside

inspections throughout the Union were reported to be in a condition requiring their

immobilisation. Those reports also show very significant differences between the results of

inspections carried out in different Member States. During the period from 2009 to 2010,

the rate of detection for certain deficiencies ranged from 2,1 % of all vehicles inspected in

one Member State to 48,3 % in another. Finally, those reports show the significant

differences in the number of technical roadside inspections performed as between Member

States. In order to arrive at a more balanced approach, Member States should commit to

carrying out an appropriate number of inspections, proportionate to the number of

commercial vehicles registered and/or operating on their territory.

(10) Vans, such as N1 vehicles, and their trailers are not subject to the same road safety

requirements at Union level as heavy duty vehicles such as those relating to driving time,

training for professional drivers or the installation of speed limitation devices. Although N1

vehicles do not fall within the scope of this Directive, Member States should take such

vehicles into account in their overall road safety and roadside inspection strategies.

1 Directive 2000/30/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 June 2000 on the technical roadside inspection of the roadworthiness of commercial vehicles circulating in the Community (OJ L 203, 10.8.2000, p. 1).

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 5 EN

(11) In order to avoid unnecessary administrative burdens and costs, and to improve the

efficiency of inspections, it should be possible for competent national authorities to select,

as a priority, vehicles operated by undertakings not complying with road safety and

environmental standards, while vehicles which are operated by responsible and safety-

minded operators and properly maintained should be rewarded with less frequent

inspections. The selection of vehicles for roadside inspection based on the risk profile of

their operators could prove to be a useful tool for the purposes of checking high-risk

undertakings more closely and more often.

(12) Roadside inspections should be supported by the use of a risk rating system. Regulation

(EC) No 1071/2009 requires Member States to extend the risk classification system

established under Directive 2006/22/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council1, as

regards implementation of the rules on driving time and resting-periods, to cover other

specified areas relating to road transport, including the roadworthiness of commercial

vehicles. Consequently, the information concerning the number and severity of

deficiencies found in vehicles should be introduced into the risk rating system established

under Article 9 of Directive 2006/22/EC. It should be possible for Member States to decide

on the appropriate technical and administrative arrangements for the operation of risk

rating systems. The effectiveness and harmonisation of risk rating systems throughout the

Union should be further analysed.

(13) The holder of the registration certificate and, where applicable, the operator of the vehicle

should be responsible for keeping the vehicle in a roadworthy condition.

1 Directive 2006/22/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2006 on minimum conditions for the implementation of Council Regulations (EEC) No 3820/85 and (EEC) No 3821/85 concerning social legislation relating to road transport activities and repealing Council Directive 88/599/EEC (OJ L 102, 11.4.2006, p. 35).

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 6 EN

(14) Inspectors, when performing technical roadside inspections, should act independently, and

their judgement should not be affected by conflicts of interest, including those of an

economic or personal nature, in particular as regards the driver, the operator or the holder

of the registration certificate, that could have any influence on the impartiality and

objectivity of their decisions. There should therefore be no direct correlation between the

reward of inspectors and the results of technical roadside inspections. This should not

prevent a Member State from authorising private bodies to perform both more detailed

technical roadside inspections and vehicle repairs, even on the same vehicle.

(15) Technical roadside inspections should consist of initial and, where necessary, more

detailed inspections. In both cases they should cover relevant parts and systems of

vehicles. In order to achieve harmonisation of more detailed inspections at Union level,

recommended test methods and examples of deficiencies and their categorisation according

to their severity should be introduced for each test item.

(16) Securing of cargo is crucial for road safety. Cargo should therefore be secured in such a

way as to cope with accelerations occurring during the use of the vehicle on road. For the

sake of practicality, the mass-forces resulting from such accelerations should be used as

limit values based on European standards. Personnel involved in checking whether cargo is

adequately secured should be appropriately trained.

(17) All parties involved in the logistics process, including packers, loaders, transport

companies, operators and drivers, have a role to play in ensuring that cargo is properly

packed and loaded on a suitable vehicle.

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 7 EN

(18) In several Member States, reports of technical roadside inspections are drawn up by

electronic means. In such cases, a copy of the inspection report should be provided to the

driver. All the data and information gathered during technical roadside inspections should

be transferred to a common database of the Member State concerned, so that the data can

be easily processed and the relevant information can be transferred without any additional

administrative burden.

(19) In order to reduce the administrative burden on inspection authorities, reports of initial

technical roadside inspections, including on vehicles registered in third countries, should

contain only essential information recording that a check took place on a particular vehicle

and the outcome of that check. A detailed report should be required only where a more

detailed inspection takes place following an initial inspection.

(20) The Commission should examine the possibility of combining the report form contained in

Annex IV with other reports.

(21) The use of mobile inspection units reduces the delay and costs for operators as more

detailed inspections can be performed directly at the roadside. The closest practicable

testing centres and designated roadside inspection facilities may also be used to carry out

more detailed inspections.

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 8 EN

(22) Personnel conducting technical roadside inspections should be appropriately trained or

qualified, including for the purpose of carrying out visual inspections in an efficient

manner. Inspectors performing more detailed technical roadside inspections should have at

least the same skills and fulfil the same requirements as those performing roadworthiness

tests in accordance with Directive 2014/.../EU of the European Parliament and of the

Council1 . Member States should require inspectors carrying out inspections in designated

roadside inspection facilities or using mobile inspection units to fulfil these or equivalent

requirements approved by the competent authority.

(23) In order to mitigate the costs arising from the use of technical equipment for a more

detailed roadside inspection, Member States should be able to require a payment where

deficiencies have been found. The amount of that payment should be reasonable and

proportionate.

(24) Cooperation and exchange of best practices between Member States is crucial in order to

achieve a more harmonised system of technical roadside inspections throughout the Union.

Consequently, Member States should work more closely together, also during operational

activities, where possible. Such cooperation should include the periodical organisation of

concerted technical roadside inspections.

OJ: Please insert the number, the date and the OJ references of Directive in document 2012/0184(COD).

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 9 EN

(25) In order to ensure the efficient exchange of information between Member States, there

should be, within each Member State, a contact point for liaising with other relevant

competent authorities. That contact point should also compile relevant statistics.

Furthermore, Member States should apply a coherent national enforcement strategy on

their territory and should be able to designate a body to coordinate its implementation. The

competent authorities in each Member State should designate procedures setting out time

limits and the contents of the information to be forwarded.

(26) When designating contact points, constitutional provisions and the resulting level of

competencies should be respected.

(27) In order to allow the roadside inspection regime implemented in the Union to be

monitored, Member States should communicate to the Commission, before 31 March 2021

and before 31 March every two years thereafter, the results of the technical roadside

inspections performed. The Commission should report the data collected to the European

Parliament and to the Council.

(28) In order to minimise the time loss for undertakings and drivers and to increase the overall

efficiency of roadside checks, the performance of technical roadside inspections, along

with inspections to check compliance with social legislation in the field of road transport,

in particular Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 of the European Parliament and of the

Council1, Directive 2006/22/EC and Council Regulation (EEC) No 3821/852, should

be encouraged.

2 Council Regulation (EEC) No 3821/85 of 20 December 1985 on recording equipment in road transport (OJ L 370, 31.12.1985, p. 8).

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 10 EN

(29) Member States should lay down rules on penalties applicable to infringements of the

provisions of this Directive and should ensure that they are implemented. Those penalties

should be effective, proportionate, dissuasive and non-discriminatory. Member States

should, in particular, include appropriate measures to address a failure by a driver or

operator to cooperate with the inspector and for the unauthorised use of a vehicle with

dangerous deficiencies.

(30) In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of this Directive,

implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission. Those powers should be

exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament

and of the Council1.

(31) The Commission should not adopt implementing acts concerning the procedures for the

notification of vehicles with major or dangerous deficiencies to the contact points of the

Member States of registration, as well as those laying down the data format for the

communication to the Commission of the information collected by the Member States

concerning vehicles inspected, where the Committee established pursuant to this Directive

delivers no opinion on the draft implementing act presented by the Commission.

1 Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 2011 laying down the rules and general principles concerning mechanisms for control by the Member States of the Commission's exercise of implementing powers (OJ L 55, 28.2.2011, p. 13).

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 11 EN

(32) In order to update Article 2(1) and Annex IV point 6 as appropriate, without affecting the

scope of this Directive, to update point 2 of Annex II in respect of methods, and to adapt

point 2 of Annex II in respect of the list of test items, methods, reasons for failure and

assessment of deficiencies, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the

Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission.

It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations

during its preparatory work, including at expert level. The Commission, when preparing

and drawing up delegated acts, should ensure simultaneous, timely and appropriate

transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and to the Council.

(33) Since the objective of this Directive, namely to improve road safety by laying down

minimum common requirements and harmonised rules concerning technical roadside

inspections of vehicles circulating within the Union, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the

Member States but can rather, by reason of the scale of the action, be better achieved at

Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of

subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the

principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond

what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.

(34) This Directive respects fundamental rights and observes the principles recognised by the

Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union as referred to in Article 6 of the

Treaty on European Union.

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 12 EN

(35) This Directive develops the existing regime of technical roadside inspections, updates the

technical requirements of Directive 2000/30/EC and integrates the rules contained in

Commission Recommendation 2010/379/EU1. As a result, Directive 2000/30/EC should

be repealed,

HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

1 Commission Recommendation 2010/379/EU of 5 July 2010 on the risk assessment of deficiencies detected during technical roadside inspections (of commercial vehicles) in accordance with Directive 2000/30/EC (OJ L 173, 8.7.2010, p. 97).

CHAPTER III

INSPECTION PROCEDURES

Article 9

Selection of vehicles for initial technical roadside inspection

When identifying vehicles to be subject to an initial technical roadside inspection, inspectors may

select, as a priority, vehicles operated by undertakings with a high-risk profile as referred to in

Directive 2006/22/EC. Vehicles may also be selected randomly for inspection, or where there is a

suspicion that the vehicle presents a risk to road safety or to the environment.

Article 10

Contents and methods of technical roadside inspections

1. Member States shall ensure that vehicles selected in accordance with Article 9 are subject

to an initial technical roadside inspection.

In each initial technical roadside inspection of a vehicle, the inspector:

(a) shall check the latest roadworthiness certificate and technical roadside inspection

report, where available, kept on board, or electronic evidence thereof in accordance

with Article 7(1);

(b) shall carry out a visual assessment of the technical condition of the vehicle;

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 22 EN

(c) may carry out a visual assessment of the securing of the vehicle's cargo in

accordance with Article 13;

(d) may carry out technical checks by any method deemed appropriate. Such technical

checks may be carried out in order to substantiate a decision to submit the vehicle to

a more detailed technical roadside inspection, or to request that the deficiencies be

rectified without delay in accordance with Article 14(1).

The inspector shall verify whether any deficiencies indicated in the previous technical

roadside inspection report have been rectified.

2. On the basis of the outcome of the initial inspection, the inspector shall decide whether the

vehicle or its trailer should be subject to a more detailed roadside inspection.

3. A more detailed technical roadside inspection shall cover those items listed in Annex II

that are considered necessary and relevant, taking into account in particular the safety of

the brakes, tyres, wheels, chassis and nuisance, and the recommended methods applicable

to the testing of those items.

4. Where the roadworthiness certificate or a roadside inspection report demonstrates that an

inspection of one of the items listed in Annex II has been carried out in the course of the

preceding three months, the inspector shall not check that item, except where such a check

is justified on the grounds of an obvious deficiency.

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 23 EN

Article 11

Inspection facilities

1. A more detailed technical roadside inspection shall be carried out using a mobile

inspection unit or a designated roadside inspection facility, or in a testing centre as referred

to in Directive 2014/.../EU*.

2. Where a more detailed inspection is to be carried out in a testing centre or designated

roadside inspection facility, it shall be carried out as soon as possible in one of the closest

practicable centres or facilities.

3. Mobile inspection units and designated roadside inspection facilities shall include

appropriate equipment for carrying out a more detailed technical roadside inspection,

including the equipment necessary to assess the condition of the brakes and brake

efficiency, steering, suspension and nuisance of the vehicle as required. Where mobile

inspection units or designated roadside inspection facilities do not include the equipment

required to check an item indicated in an initial inspection, the vehicle shall be directed to

a testing centre or facility where a detailed check of that item can be performed.

Article 12

Assessment of deficiencies

1. For each item to be inspected, Annex II provides a list of possible deficiencies and their

level of severity to be used during technical roadside inspections.

* OJ: please insert the number of the Directive in document 2012/0184 (COD).

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 24 EN

2. Deficiencies found during technical roadside inspections of vehicles shall be categorised in

one of the following groups:

(a) minor deficiencies having no significant effect on the safety of the vehicle or impact

on the environment, and other minor non-compliances,

(b) major deficiencies that may prejudice the safety of the vehicle or have an impact on

the environment or put other road users at risk, or other more significant

non-compliances;

(c) dangerous deficiencies constituting a direct and immediate risk to road safety or

having an impact on the environment.

3. A vehicle having deficiencies falling into more than one of the deficiency groups referred

to in paragraph 2 shall be classified in the group corresponding to the more serious

deficiency. A vehicle showing several deficiencies within the same inspection areas as

defined in the scope of the technical roadside inspection referred to in point 1 of Annex II

may be classified in the next most serious deficiency group if it is considered that the

combined effect of those deficiencies results in a higher risk to road safety.

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 25 EN

Article 13

Inspection of cargo securing

1. During a roadside inspection a vehicle may be subject to an inspection of its cargo securing

in accordance with Annex III, in order to ensure that the cargo is secured in such a way

that it does not interfere with safe driving, or pose a threat to life, health, property or the

environment. Checks may be carried out to verify that during all kinds of operation of the

vehicle, including emergency situations or uphill starting manoeuvres:

– loads can only minimally change their position relative to each other, against walls or

surfaces of the vehicle, and

– loads cannot leave the cargo space or move outside the loading surface.

2. Without prejudice to the requirements applicable to transport of certain categories of

goods, such as those covered by the European Agreement concerning the International

Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR)1, cargo securing and inspection of the

securing of cargo may be carried out in accordance with the principles and, where

appropriate, the standards laid down in section I of Annex III. The latest version of the

standards laid down in point 5 of section I of Annex III may be used.

3. The follow-up procedures referred to in Article 14 may also apply in the case of major or

dangerous deficiencies related to cargo securing.

1 Transposed by Directive 2008/68/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 September 2008 on the inland transport of dangerous goods (OJ L 260, 30.9.2008, p. 13), as amended by, inter alia, Commission Directive 2012/45/EU (OJ L 332, 4.12.2012, p. 18).

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 26 EN

4. Member States shall provide that personnel involved in cargo securing checks are to be

appropriately trained for that purpose.

Article 14

Follow-up in the case of major or dangerous deficiencies

1. Without prejudice to Article 14(3), Member States shall provide that any major or

dangerous deficiency revealed by an initial or more detailed inspection is to be rectified

before the vehicle is further used on public roads.

2. The inspector may decide that the vehicle is to be subject to a full roadworthiness test

within a specified time limit if it is registered in the Member State where the technical

roadside inspection has been carried out. If the vehicle is registered in another Member

State, the competent authority may request the competent authority of that other Member

State, via the contact points referred to in Article 17, to carry out a new roadworthiness test

of the vehicle following the procedure laid down in Article 18(2). Where major or

dangerous deficiencies are found in a vehicle registered outside the Union, Member States

may decide to inform the competent authority of the country of registration of the vehicle.

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 27 EN

3. In the case of any deficiencies which require prompt or immediate rectification due to any

direct and immediate risk to road safety, the Member State or the competent authority

concerned shall provide that the use of the vehicle in question is to be restricted or

prohibited until those deficiencies have been rectified. The use of such a vehicle may be

permitted in order to enable it to reach one of the closest workshops where those

deficiencies can be rectified, on condition that the dangerous deficiencies in question have

been fixed in such a way as to allow it to reach that workshop and that there is no

immediate risk to the safety of its occupants or other road users. In the case of deficiencies

that do not require immediate rectification, the Member State or the competent authority

concerned may decide on the conditions and a reasonable timespan under which the

vehicle may be used before the deficiencies are rectified.

Where the vehicle cannot be fixed in such a way to allow it to reach the workshop, the

vehicle may be brought to an available location where it can be repaired.

Article 15

Inspection fees

Where deficiencies have been found following a more detailed inspection, Member States may

require the payment of a reasonable and proportionate fee that should be linked to the cost of

carrying out that inspection.

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 28 EN

Article 16

Inspection report and databases on technical roadside inspections

1. For each initial technical roadside inspection carried out, the following information shall

be communicated to the competent authority:

(a) country of registration of the vehicle;

(b) category of the vehicle;

(c) outcome of the initial technical roadside inspection.

2. On completion of a more detailed inspection, the inspector shall draw up a report in

accordance with Annex IV. Member States shall ensure that the driver of the vehicle is

provided with a copy of the inspection report.

3. The inspector shall communicate to the competent authority the results of the more

detailed technical roadside inspection within a reasonable time following that inspection.

The competent authority shall keep that information in accordance with the applicable

legislation on data protection for not less than 36 months from the date of its receipt.

ANNEX I

ELEMENTS OF THE RISK RATING SYSTEM

The risk rating system shall provide the basis for a targeted selection of vehicles operated by

undertakings with a poor record concerning compliance with vehicle maintenance and

roadworthiness requirements. It shall take into account results from both periodic roadworthiness

tests and technical roadside inspections.

The risk rating System shall consider the following parameters for determining a risk rating for the

undertaking concerned:

– number of deficiencies

– severity of deficiencies

– number of technical roadside inspections or periodic and voluntary

roadworthiness tests

– time factor

1. The deficiencies shall be weighted according to their severity, using the following

severity factors:

– Dangerous deficiency = 40

– Major deficiency = 10

– Minor deficiency = 1

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 1 ANNEX I EN

2. The evolution of an undertaking's (vehicle's) situation shall be reflected by applying a

lower weighting to 'older' inspection results (deficiencies) than to more 'recent' ones, using

the following factors:

– Year 1 = last 12 months = factor 3

– Year 2 = months 13–24 = factor 2

– Year 3 = months 24-36 = factor 1

This shall only apply for the calculation of the overall risk rating.

3. The risk rating shall be calculated using the following formulas:

(a) The formula for the overall risk rating:

321

321

###123

YYY

YYY

CCCDDD

RR

Where

RR = overall risk rating score

I = total for the defects in year 1, 2, 3

DY1 = (#DDx 40) + (#MaD x 10) + (#MiD x 1) in year 1

#... = number of…

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 2 ANNEX I EN

DD = dangerous deficiencies

MaD = major deficiencies

MiD = minor deficiencies

C = checks (technical roadside inspections or periodic and voluntary

roadworthiness tests) in year 1, 2, 3

(b) The formula for the annual risk rating:

C

MiDMaDDDAR#

1#10#40#

Where

AR = annual risk score

#... = number of…

DD = dangerous deficiencies

MaD = major deficiencies

MiD = minor deficiencies

C = checks (technical roadside inspections or periodic and voluntary

roadworthiness tests)

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 3 ANNEX I EN

The annual risk shall be used to assess the evolution of an undertaking over the years.

The classification of undertakings (vehicles) based on the overall risk rating shall be performed in

such a way that the following distribution within the listed undertakings (vehicles) is reached:

– <30 % low risk

– 30 % - 80 % medium risk

– >80 % high risk.

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 4 ANNEX I EN

ANNEX II

SCOPE OF TECHNICAL ROADSIDE INSPECTION

1. INSPECTION AREAS

(0) Identification of the vehicle;

(1) Braking equipment;

(2) Steering;

(3) Visibility;

(4) Lighting equipment and parts of electrical system;

(5) Axles, wheels, tyres, suspension;

(6) Chassis and chassis attachments;

(7) Other equipment;

(8) Nuisance;

(9) Supplementary tests for passenger-carrying vehicles of categories M2 and M3.

2. INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS

Items that may only be checked by the use of equipment are marked with an (E).

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 1 ANNEX II EN

Items that can only be checked to some extent without the use of equipment are marked with + (E).

Where a method of inspection is indicated as visual, this means that, in addition to looking at the

items concerned, the inspector shall also, if appropriate, handle them, evaluate their noise or use any

other appropriate means of inspection not involving the use of equipment.

Technical roadside inspections may cover items listed in Table 1, which includes the recommended

testing methods that should be used. Nothing in this Annex shall prevent an inspector from using

additional equipment where relevant, such as a hoist or a pit.

The tests shall be carried out using techniques and equipment currently available, without the use of

tools to dismantle or remove any part of the vehicle. The test may also include a verification as to

whether the respective parts and components of the vehicle correspond to the safety and

environmental requirements that were in force at the time of approval or, if applicable, at the time

of retrofitting.

Where the design of the vehicle does not allow the application of the test methods laid down in this

Annex, the test shall be conducted in accordance with the recommended test methods accepted by

the competent authorities.

The 'Reasons for failure' do not apply in cases where they refer to requirements which were not

prescribed in the relevant vehicle approval legislation at the time of first registration or first entry

into service, or in the retrofitting requirements.

ANNEX III

I. Principles of cargo securing

1. Cargo securing shall withstand the following forces resulting from accelerations /

decelerations of the vehicle:

– in driving direction: 0,8 times the weight of the cargo and

– in lateral direction: 0,5 times the weight of the cargo and

– against driving direction: 0,5 times the weight of the cargo,

– and in general must prevent tilting or tipping of cargo.

2. The distribution of cargo shall take into account the maximum authorised axle loads as

well as the necessary minimum axle loads within the limits of the maximum authorised

mass of the vehicle, in line with the legal provisions on weights and dimensions of

vehicles.

3. During the securing of cargo, the applicable requirements regarding the strength of certain

vehicle components, such as the headboard, sideboard, endbords, stanchions or lashing

points, shall be taken into account when those components are used for the cargo securing.

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 1 ANNEX III EN

4. For the securing of cargo, one or more or a combination of the following restraining

methods may be used:

– locking;

– blocking (local/overall);

– direct lashing;

– top-over lashing.

5. Applicable standards:

Standard Subject

– EN 12195-1 Calculation of lashing forces

– EN 12640 Lashing points

– EN 12642 Strength of vehicle body structure

– EN 12195 -2 Web lashings made from man-made fibres

– EN 12195-3 Lashing chains

– EN 12195-4 Lashing steel wire ropes

– ISO 1161, ISO 1496 ISO container

– EN 283 Swap bodies

– EN 12641 Tarpaulins

– EUMOS 40511 Poles - Stanchions

– EUMOS 40509 Transport Packaging

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 2 ANNEX III EN

II. Inspection of the Securing of Cargo

1. Classification of deficiencies

Deficiencies shall be classified in one of the following deficiency groups:

– Minor deficiency: a minor deficiency exists when the load has been properly secured

but a safety advice might be appropriate.

– Major deficiency: a major deficiency exists when the load has not been sufficiently

secured and a significant shifting or overturning of the load or parts thereof is

possible.

– Dangerous deficiency: a dangerous deficiency exists when traffic safety is directly

endangered due to a risk of loss of cargo or parts thereof or a hazard deriving directly

from the cargo or an immediate endangering of persons

Where several deficiencies are present, the transport is classified in the highest deficiency

group. If, in the event that there are several deficiencies, as the effects based on the

combination of those deficiencies are expected to reinforce one another, the transport shall

be classified in the next higher deficiency level.

PE-CONS 12/2/14 REV 2 3 ANNEX III EN

2. Methods of inspection

The method of inspection is a visual assessment of the proper use of appropriate measures

in the amount necessary to secure cargo and/or measurement of tension forces, calculation

of securing efficiency and checking of certificates where appropriate.

3. Assessment of deficiencies

Table 1 sets out rules that may be applied during a cargo securing inspection to determine

whether the condition of the transport is acceptable.

The categorisation of the deficiencies shall be determined on the basis of the classifications

set out in section 1 of this chapter, on a case-by-case basis.

The values stated in Table 1 are of an indicative nature and should be seen as a guideline

for determining the category of a given deficiency in light of the specific circumstances –

depending in particular on the nature of the cargo and the discretion of the inspector.

In the case of a transport falling within the scope of Council Directive 95/50/EC1, more

specific requirements may apply.

1 Council Directive 95/50/EC of 6 October 1995 on uniform procedures for checks on the transport of dangerous goods by road (OJ L 249, 17.10.1995, p. 35).
