4.1.1.1. Approval of a vehicle installation U.K.

A vehicle installation may achieve type-approval directly by following the provisions laid down in paragraph 6 of this Annex. If this route is chosen by a vehicle manufacturer, no separate testing of electrical/electronic systems or ESAs is required.

4.1.1.2. Approval of vehicle type by testing of individual ESAs U.K.

A vehicle manufacturer may obtain approval for the vehicle by demonstrating to the approval authority that all the relevant (see paragraph 3.1.3 of this Annex) electrical/electronic systems or ESAs have individually been approved in accordance with this Directive and have been installed in accordance with any conditions attached thereto.

4.1.1.3. A manufacturer, if he wishes, may obtain approval to this Directive if the vehicle has no equipment of the type which is subject to immunity or emission tests. The vehicle shall have no systems as specified in paragraph 3.1.3 (immunity) and no spark ignition equipment. Such approvals do not require testing. U.K.

4.1.2. Type-approval of an ESA U.K.

Type-approval may be granted to an ESA to be fitted either to any vehicle type or to a specific vehicle type or types requested by the manufacturer. ESAs involved in the direct control of vehicles will normally receive type-approval in conjunction with a vehicle manufacturer.

4.2. Granting of type-approval U.K.

4.2.1. Vehicle U.K.

4.2.1.1. If the representative vehicle fulfils the requirements of this Directive, EEC type-approval pursuant to [F1 Article 4 of Directive 74/150/EEC] shall be granted. U.K.

4.2.1.2. A model for the EEC type-approval certificate is given in Annex IIIA. U.K.

4.2.2. ESA U.K.

4.2.2.1. If the representative ESA system(s) fulfil(s) the requirements of this Directive, EEC type-approval pursuant to [F1 Article 4 of Directive 74/150/EEC] shall be granted. U.K.

4.2.2.2. A model for the EEC type-approval certificates is given in Annex IIIB. U.K.

4.2.3. In order to draw up the certificates referred to in paragraph 4.2.1.2 or 4.2.2.2, the competent authority of the Member State granting the approval may use a report prepared by an approved or recognized laboratory or in accordance with the provisions of this Directive. U.K.

4.3. Amendments to approvals U.K.

4.3.1. In the case of amendments to approvals granted pursuant to this Directive, the provisions of [F1 Article 6 of Directive 74/150/EEC] shall apply. U.K.

4.3.2. Amendment of a vehicle type-approval by ESA addition or substitution. U.K.

4.3.2.1. Where a vehicle manufacturer has obtained approval for a vehicle installation and wishes to fit an additional or substitutional electrical/electronic system or ESA which has already received approval pursuant to this Directive, and which will be installed in accordance with any conditions attached thereto, the vehicle approval may be amended without further testing. The additional or substitutional electrical/electronic system or ESA shall be considered as part of the vehicle for conformity of production purposes. U.K.

4.3.2.2. Where the additional or substitutional part(s) has (have) not received approval pursuant to this Directive, and if testing is considered necessary, the whole vehicle shall be deemed to comply if the new or revised part(s) can be shown to comply with the relevant requirements of paragraph 6 or if, in a comparative test, the new part can be shown not to be likely to adversely affect compliance of the vehicle type. U.K.

4.3.2.3. The addition by a vehicle manufacturer to an approved vehicle of standard domestic or business equipment, other than mobile communication equipment (2) which complies with Directive 89/336/EEC, and is installed according to the recommendations of the equipment and vehicle manufacturers, or the substitution or removal thereof, shall not invalidate the vehicle approval. This shall not preclude vehicle manufacturers fitting communication equipment with suitable installations guidelines developed by the vehicle manufacturer and/or manufacturer(s) of such communication equipment. The vehicle manufacturer shall provide evidence (if requested by the test authority) that vehicle performance is not adversely affected by such transmitters. This can be a statement that the power levels and installation are such that the immunity levels of this Directive offer sufficient protection when subject to transmission alone, i.e. excluding transmission in conjunction with the tests specified in paragraph 6. This Directive does not authorize the use of a communication transmitter when other requirements on such equipment or its use apply. A vehicle manufacturer may refuse to install in his vehicle standard domestic or business equipment which complies with Directive 89/336/EEC. U.K.

5. Marking U.K.

5.1. Every ESA conforming to a type approved pursuant to this Directive shall bear an EEC type-approval mark. U.K.

5.2. This mark shall consist of a rectangle surrounding the letter ‘ e ’ followed by the distinguishing number or letters of the Member State which has granted type-approval: U.K.

7.2. Conformity of production with regard to the electromagnetic compatibility of the vehicle or component of separate technical unit shall be checked on the basis of the data contained in the type-approval certificate(s) set out in Annex IIIA and/or IIIB of this Directive as appropriate. U.K.

[F6 7.3.] [ F6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .] U.K.

7.3.1. If the conformity of a vehicle, component or STU taken from the series is being verified, production shall be deemed to conform to the requirements of this Directive in relation to broadband radiated emissions and narrowband radiated emissions if the levels measured do not exceed by more than 2 dB, (25 %) the reference limits prescribed in paragraphs 6.2.2.1, 6.2.2.2, 6.3.2.1 and 6.3.2.2 (as appropriate). U.K.

7.3.2. If the conformity of a vehicle, component or STU taken from the series is being verified, production shall be deemed to conform to the requirements of this Directive in relation to immunity to electromagnetic radiation if the vehicle, component or STU does not exhibit any degradation relating to the direct control of the vehicle which could be observed by the driver or other road user when the vehicle, component or STU is in the state defined in Annex VI, paragraph 4, and subjected to a field strength, expressed in volts/m, up to 80 % of the reference limits prescribed in paragraph 6.4.2.1 of this Annex. U.K.

8. Exceptions U.K.

8.1. Where a vehicle or electrical/electronic system or ESA does not include an electronic oscillator with an operating frequency greater than 9 kHz, it shall be deemed to comply with paragraph 6.3.2 or 6.6.2 of Annex I and with Annexes V and VIII. U.K.

8.2. Vehicles which do not have electrical/electronic systems or ESAs involved in the direct control of the vehicle need not be tested for immunity and shall be deemed to comply with paragraph 6.4 of Annex I and with Annex VI to this Directive. U.K.

8.3. ESAs whose functions are not involved in the direct control of the vehicle need not be tested for immunity and shall be deemed to comply with paragraph 6.7 of Annex I and with Annex IX to this Directive. U.K.

8.4. Electrostatic discharge U.K.

For vehicles fitted with tyres, the vehicle body/chassis can be considered to be an electrically isolated structure. Significant electrostatic forces in relation to the vehicle's external environment only occur at the moment of occupant entry into or exit from the vehicle. As the vehicle is stationary at these moments, no type-approval test for electrostatic discharge is deemed necessary.

8.5. Conducted transients U.K.

Since during normal driving, no external electrical connections are made to vehicles, no conducted transients are generated in relation to the external environment. The responsibility of ensuring that equipment can tolerate the conducted transients within a vehicle, e.g. due to load switching and interaction between systems, lies with the manufacturer. No type-approval test for conducted transients is deemed necessary.
