Commission Regulation (EU) No 371/2010 of 16 April 2010 replacing Annexes V, X, XV and XVI to Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for the approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles (Framework Directive) (Text with EEA relevance)
After exit day there will be three versions of this legislation to consult for different purposes. The legislation.gov.uk version is the version that applies in the UK. The EU Version currently on EUR-lex is the version that currently applies in the EU i.e you may need this if you operate a business in the EU.
The web archive version is the official version of this legislation item as it stood on exit day before being published to legislation.gov.uk and any subsequent UK changes and effects applied. The web archive also captured associated case law and other language formats from EUR-Lex.
Commission Regulation (EU) No 371/2010 is up to date with all changes known to be in force on or before 02 May 2024. There are changes that may be brought into force at a future date. Changes that have been made appear in the content and are referenced with annotations.
Revised legislation carried on this site may not be fully up to date. Changes and effects are recorded by our editorial team in lists which can be found in the ‘Changes to Legislation’ area. Where those effects have yet to be applied to the text of the legislation by the editorial team they are also listed alongside the legislation in the affected provisions.

This Annex lays down appropriate provisions concerning virtual testing in accordance with Article 11(3).
It shall not apply to the second subparagraph of Article 11(2).
No | Regulatory act reference | Subject |

The following scheme shall be used as basis structure for describing and conducting virtual testing:
purpose;
structure model;
boundary conditions;
load assumptions;
calculation;
assessment;
documentation.
The mathematical model shall be supplied by the manufacturer. It shall reflect the complexity of the structure of the vehicle, system and components to be tested in relation to the requirements of the regulatory act and its boundary conditions.
The same provisions shall apply mutatis mutandis for testing components or technical units independently from the vehicle.
The mathematical model shall be validated in comparison with the actual test conditions.
To that effect a physical test shall be conducted for the purposes of comparing the results obtained when using the mathematical model with the results of a physical test. Comparability of the test results shall be proven. A validation report shall be drafted by the manufacturer or by the technical service and submitted to the approval authority.
Any change made to the mathematical model or to the software likely to invalidate the validation report shall be brought to the attention of the approval authority which may require that a new validation process is conducted.
The flow chart of the validation process is shown in Appendix 3.
The data and auxiliary tools used for the simulation and calculation shall be made available by the manufacturer and be documented in a suitable way.
At the request of the technical service, the manufacturer shall supply or provide access to the necessary tools including appropriate software.
In addition he shall provide appropriate support to the technical service.
Providing access and support to a technical service does not remove any obligation of the technical service regarding the skills of its personnel, the payment of licence rights and respect of confidentiality.
