Outline

• Type Approval Regulations

• Type Approval Process

• Type Approval Documents

• Conformity of Production

www.dft.gov.uk/vca

Type Approval in a Nutshell

• Whole Vehicle Type Approval authorises a

manufacturer to:

– produce vehicles to a proven specification

– self-certify these as compliant with relevant

legislation

• Two fundamental requirements:

– Meeting the technical and administrative

requirements and capturing the design

– Ensuring that subsequent production

vehicles are manufactured in conformance

with the approved design

8

www.dft.gov.uk/vca

Type Approval Regulations

• The type approval regulations are;

– UK Statutory Instrument 2009 No. 717

www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2009/717/contents/made

• These enact directive 2007/46/EC into law

• Manufacturers can choose between;

– ECWVTA

– NSSTA

– IVA

www.dft.gov.uk/vca

Type Approval Regulations

29 October 2014 - Final Implementation Date

• Applies to

– Multi stage approval for medium & heavy

trucks (category N2 & N3)

– Single & Multi stage approval for Special

Purpose Vehicles (category N1 – N3, M2,

M3, O1 – O4)

• See Schedule 3 of the UK Statutory Inst.

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:A_Brand_New_ASDA_Mercedes_Benz_Sprinter_Delivery_Van.jpg?uselang=en-gb

www.dft.gov.uk/vca


• Single stage approval

– in general terms, built to completion in

respect of chassis and body by a single

manufacturer

• Multi stage approval

– in general terms, those where the chassis

manufacturer and body manufacturer are

different and each plays a part in the

approval of the vehicle

www.dft.gov.uk/vca


Focus on Multi stage approval

• Stage 1 (Base Vehicle) manufacturer has

already done most of the hard work!

• Stage 2 (3 in some cases) manufacturer(s) /

body builder(s) responsible only for aspects

they add / change

– Maybe 6 or 7 items

www.dft.gov.uk/vca

Type Approval Documents

• Information documents follow a basic and

recognisable format and have information

about;

– you (the manufacturer)

– your products (the type of vehicle or system)

• Most directives / regulations will have a

template for an information document

– if there isn’t one the relevant parts should be

taken from Annex I of 2007/46/EC or SENTA

www.dft.gov.uk/vca

Conformity of Production (CoP)

• CoP checks are done in parallel with Type

Approval tests and / or inspections

• You can’t get Type Approval without CoP

– Manufacturers need to provide evidence of

the ability to produce a series of products

that exactly match the specification,

performance and marking requirements

outlined in their type approval

documentation

www.dft.gov.uk/vca


• CoP is fundamental to Type Approval

– VCA must have confidence in your

manufacturing and change control systems

to enable you to issue Certificates of

Conformity (CoC)

– Quality Management System – controlling

the policies and day-to-day activities of the

business that could influence conformity of

the product to the approved ‘Type’

• ISO9001 / TS16949 satisfy this requirement but are

not mandatory

36

www.dft.gov.uk/vca


• CoP clearance is required for Type Approval

– Quality Management System – controlling the

policies and day-to-day activities of the

business that could influence conformity of

the product to the approved ‘Type’

• ISO9001 / TS16949 satisfy this requirement but are not

mandatory

– Control Plan – a detailed description of all the

checks performed that ensure completed

product conforms to each aspect of the

approval 37


Afterwards?

• Issue Certificates of

Conformity (CoC)

– Your declaration that the

vehicle in question

meets the requirements

– Used with previous

stages CoC’s for

registration

– Only add information

that you have affected

• Changes to your specification

• Additions to your specification

• Changes to base vehicle

• Changes to legislation

Whole Vehicle Type Approval Costs,

the detail …

Whole vehicle type approval costs with VCA are;

• S&C Admin & Cert fee £110

• Technical fee £89 per hour

• CoP review / audit £250 / £890 / £1,785

• Whole Vehicle Cert fee £75

• Whole Vehicle Admin fee £73

• Technical fee £89 per hour

www.dft.gov.uk/vca

So what does it all mean?

• 1st type £2,000 (approx)

– Add CoP costs (often £250 to £1,000 approx)

• Subsequent types with same body from

£1,300 (approx)

– (e.g. on an alternative chassis)

41

The legislative process and the SMMT

Tony Hopkins.

Technical Manager,

SMMT


In the past – National Type Approval

To register a Commercial vehicle of Categories N1, 2 & 3

7 areas of the vehicle were covered –

Brakes

Emissions

Noise

Smoke

Front underrun (if applicable)

Tyres

Speed limiter (if applicable)


In the past -

For trailers of Categories O1, 2, 3 & 4

No requirements


So what happened?

For all categories of vehicle including trailers –

European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval

EC Directive 2007/46/EC


2007/46/EC

380 + Pages

21 Annexes

16 Amending Regulations

Covers all vehicle categories and types

Anything up to 60+ separate directives to comply with


2007/46/EC

16 Amending Regulations

Regulations 1060/2008, 78/2009, 79/2009, 385/2009,

595/2009, 661/2009, 371/2010, 2010/19, 183/2011,

582/2011, 678/2011, 65/2012, 1229/2012, 1230/2012,

143/2013 and 195/2013

All introduced since 2007


2007/46/EC

Regulation 1060/2008

Introduced revised Annexes I, III, IV, VI, VII, XI & XV

Annexes I & III are the Information documents to be

supplied to the Approval Authority.


2007/46/EC

Regulation 371/2010

Introduced revised Annexes XV

Regulation 183/2011

Introduced revised Annexes IV & VI


2007/46/EC

Regulation 678/2011

Replaced Annex II and revised Annexes IV, IX & XI

Regulation 1229/2012

Introduced revised Annexes IV


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?


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


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


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.


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.


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.


Nationally


‘Vans’.

Outcome –

DFT & VCA introduced the Enhancement Scheme

Low cost scheme to ensure final vehicles comply with

COP and legislative requirements.


Nationally


‘Vans’.

Outcome –

Discussions currently underway with the EU to amend

2007/46 to incorporate the changes allowed in the

scheme


2007/46/EC

What is over the horizon?

General Safety Regulation – 661/2009

Comes into Force for new registrations from 14th

November 2014

Draft document covering the specific procedures, tests

and technical requirements currently being finalised at

the EU.


2007/46/EC

What is over the horizon?


Repeals 50 directives and combines requirements into

1 regulation

Reduces need for testing to EEC requirements as UN

ECE Regulations Approvals accepted where available


2007/46/EC


Issues with conflict between proposed update to

Annex IV for Small Series vehicles and current

required standards.

What is the SMMT doing?

Ongoing dialogue with the DFT & EU to attempt to

reach a consolidated opinion.


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?


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.


2007/46/EC

ARTICLE 30

VEHICLES, SYSTEMS, COMPONENTS OR SEPARATE TECHNICAL UNITS NOT IN CONFORMITY WITH THE APPROVED TYPE

1. If a Member State which has granted an EC type-approval finds that new vehicles, systems, components or separate technical units accompanied by a certificate of conformity or bearing an approval mark do not conform to the type it has approved, it shall take the necessary measures, including, where necessary, the withdrawal of type-approval, to ensure that production vehicles, systems, components or separate technical units, as the case may be, are brought into conformity with the approved type. The approval authority of that Member State shall advise the approval authorities of the other Member States of the measures taken.


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. A

vehicle shall not be deemed to deviate from the approved type where

tolerances are permitted by the relevant regulatory acts and those

tolerances are respected.


2007/46/EC

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.


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.


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


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.


What other ways can we

assist you?


SENTA

SMMT European and National

Type Approval


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).
