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

1

km/h, with the closest axle to the driver

having a minimum track width of not less than1

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

runningorder, of more than 600 kg and with a ground clearance of not more than 600

2

mm. However, where the height of the centre of gravity of the tractor (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 toC5 are defined by analogy with Categories T1 to T5.

F1or 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.

(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. (2) For EC type-approval to be granted, the brackets must be removed. (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 1NUMBERING 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.

_

Section 1:

a lower-case letter 'e' followed by the distinguishing number of the

Member State which has granted the approval:

1 for Germany; 2 for France; 3 for Italy; 4 for the Netherlands; 5 for Sweden; 6 for Belgium; 7 for Hungary; 8 for the Czech Republic, 9 for Spain; 11 for the United Kingdom; 12 for Austria; 13 for Luxembourg; 17 for Finland; 18 for Denmark; 19 for Romania; 20 for Poland; 21 for Portugal; 23 for Greece; 24 for Ireland; 26 for Slovenia; 27 for Slovakia; 29 for Estonia; 32 for Latvia; 34 for Bulgaria; 36 for Lithuania;. CY for Cyprus; MT for Malta

-

Section 2:

number of the base Directive: …………………………………………..

………………………………………………………………………………

-

Section 3:

number of the latest amending Directive that is applicable to the approval………………………………………………………………….

……………………………………………………………………………..

In the case of vehicles approvals, this is the most recent Directive that amends an (some) Article(s) of Directive 2003/37/EC.

In the case of approvals under separate Directives, this is the most recent Directive containing specific provisions to which the system, component or separate technical unit is to conform.

Where a Directive includes different dates of entry into force which refer to different technical standards a letter of the alphabet is to be added. This letter will identify the specific technical requirement on the basis of which approval has been granted.

-

Section 4:

four-digit sequential number (with leading zeros as applicable) to denote the base approval number. The sequence shall start from

0001 for each base Directive.

-

Section 5:

two-digit sequential number (with leading zero if applicable) to denote the extension. The sequence shall start from 00 for each base approval number.

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
