CHAPTER A

DEFINITION OF VEHICLE CATEGORIES AND VEHICLE TYPES A. THE VEHICLE CATEGORIES ARE DEFINED AS FOLLOWS:

1. Category T: Wheeled Tractors

— Category T1: wheeled tractors with a maximum design speed of not more than 40 km/h, with the closest axle to the driver1 having a minimum track width of not less than

1 150 mm, with an unladen mass, in running order, of more than 600 kg, and with a

ground clearance of not more than 1 000 mm.

— Category T2: wheeled tractors with a maximum design speed of not more than 40 km/h, with a minimum track width of less than 1 150 mm, with an unladen mass, in running order, of more than 600 kg and with a ground clearance of not more than

600 mm. However, where the height of the centre of gravity of the tractor2 (measured in relation to the ground) divided by the average minimum track for each axle exceeds 0.90, the maximum design speed is restricted to 30 km/h.

— Category T3: wheeled tractors with a maximum design speed of not more than 40 km/h, and with an unladen mass, in running order, of not more than 600 kg.

— Category T4: special purpose wheeled tractors with a maximum design speed of not more than 40 km/h (as defined in Appendix1).

— Category T5: wheeled tractors with a maximum design speed of more than 40 km/h.

2. Category C: Track-laying Tractors

Track-laying tractors that are propelled and steered by endless tracks and whose Categories C1 to

C5 are defined by analogy with Categories T1 to T5.

1

For reversible driver's position tractors (reversible seat and steering wheel), the closest axle to the driver to be considered must

be the one fitted with the biggest diameter tyres.

2

In accordance with Standard ISO 789—6: 1982

LIST OF REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PURPOSES OF VEHICLE EC TYPE-APPROVAL PART I

LIST OF SEPARATE DIRECTIVES

B 1124

(1) Pending the adoption of Directives on tyres, stability and rear protective structures, the absence of a separate Directive on this does not prevent the granting of the whole vehicle type-approval

(3) The minimum number of anchorage points required for tractors of categories T1, T2, T3, C1, C2 and C3 is two, established

in Annex I, Appendix 1 to Directive 76/115/EEC for forward facing centre seats of vehicle category N3. The test loads laid down in points 5.4.3. and 5.4.4. of Annex I of that directive for vehicles of category N3 shall apply to those tractor categories.

APPENDIX 1

NUMBERING SYSTEM FOR EC TYPE-APPROVAL CERTIFICATES

EC type-approval certificates shall be numbered in accordance with the method described below.

1. The approval number consists of four parts where complete vehicles are approved and of five parts where systems, components and separate technical units are approved, in accordance with the requirements set out below. Components and separate technical units should be marked in accordance with the relevant separate Directives. In all

cases the sections are to be separated by an asterisk.

2. Where a vehicle is approved, Section 2 shall be omitted.

3. Section 5 is to be omitted solely from the statutory plate(s).

4. Example of a third system approval (that has so far received no extension) issued by

France in respect of Directive 80/720/EEC:

e 2*80/720*88/414*0003*00

in the case of a Directive involving two implementation stages, namely A and B.

PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED DURING MULTI-STAGE EC TYPE-APPROVAL

1. GENERAL

1.1. The satisfactory operation of the multi-stage EC type-approval process requires concerted action by all the manufacturers concerned. To this end, before granting an initial or subsequent stage EC type-approval, the EC type-approval authority shall ensure that the relevant manufacturers have made suitable arrangements for the supply and interchange of documents and information such that the completed vehicle meets the technical requirements of all the relevant separate Directives as set out in Annex II, Chapter B.

Such information must include details of relevant system, component and separate-technical-unit EC type-approvals and of vehicle parts which form part of the incomplete vehicle but are not yet type-approved.

1.2. EC type-approvals in accordance with this Annex are granted on the basis of the current state of completion of the vehicle type and incorporate all EC type-approvals granted at the previous stage.

1.3- Each manufacturer in a multi-stage EC type-approval process shall be responsible for the EC type-approval and conformity of production of all systems, components and separate technical units manufactured by him or added by him to the previously built stage. He shall not be responsible for aspects which have been type-approved in an earlier stage unless he modifies vehicle parts to such an extent that the previously granted EC type-approval becomes invalid.

2. PROCEDURES

In the case of an application made in accordance with Article 4(2), the EC type-approval authorities must:

(a) verify that all relevant separate-Directive approvals can be applied to the appropriate standard in the separate Directive;

(b) ensure that all the relevant data, taking account of the state of completion of the vehicle, are included in the information folder;

(c) by reference to the documentation make sure that the vehicle specification(s) and data contained in Part I of the information folder are included in the data in the information packages or the EC type-approval certificates issued under the relevant separate Directives and, in the case of a completed vehicle, where an item number in Part I of the information folder is not included in the information package of any of the separate Directives, confirm that the relevant part or characteristic conforms to the particulars in the information folder;

(d) on a sample of vehicles from the type to be approved, carry 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 information package that has been authenticated in respect of all relevant separate-Directive approvals, or arrange for such inspections to be carried out;

(e) where appropriate, carry out checks on the installation of the separate technical units, or arrange for such checks to be carried out.
