Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/799 of 18 March 2016 implementing Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down the requirements for the construction, testing, installation, operation and repair of tachographs and their components (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.
There are outstanding changes not yet made to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/799. Any changes that have already been made to the legislation 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. Use the ‘more’ link to open the changes and effects relevant to the provision you are viewing.
The EC type approval for a recording equipment (or component) or a tachograph card is based on:
[F1a security certification , based on Common Criteria specifications, against a security target fully compliant with Appendix 10 to this Annex,]
a functional certification performed by a Member State authority certifying that the item tested fulfils the requirements of this Annex in terms of functions performed, measurement accuracy and environmental characteristics,
an interoperability certification performed by the competent body certifying that the recording equipment (or tachograph card) is fully interoperable with the necessary tachograph card (or recording equipment) models (see Chapter 8 of this Annex).
Textual Amendments
This Appendix specifies which tests, as a minimum, must be performed by a Member State authority during the functional tests, and which tests, as a minimum, must be performed by the competent body during the interoperability tests. Procedures to follow to carry out the tests or the type of tests are not specified further.
The security certification aspects are not covered by this Appendix. If some tests requested for type approval are performed during the security evaluation and certification process, then these tests do not need to be performed again. In this case, only the results of these security tests may be inspected. For information, the requirements expected to be tested (or closely related to tests expected to be performed) during the security certification, are marked with a ‘*’ in this Appendix.
The numbered requirements refer to the Annex corpus, while the other requirements refer to the other appendixes (e.g. PIC_001 refers to requirement PIC_001 of Appendix 3 Pictograms).
This Appendix considers separately the type approval of the motion sensor, of the vehicle unit, and of the external GNSS facility as components of the recording equipment. Each component will get its own type approval certificate in which the other compatible components will be indicated. The functional test of the motion sensor (or external GNSS facility) is done together with the vehicle unit and vice versa.
Interoperability between every model of motion sensor (resp. external GNSS facility) and every model of vehicle unit is not required. In that case the type approval for a motion sensor (resp. external GNSS facility) can be granted only in combination with the type approval of the relevant vehicle unit and vice versa.

This timeline shows the different versions taken from EUR-Lex before exit day and during the implementation period as well as any subsequent versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation.
The dates for the EU versions are taken from the document dates on EUR-Lex and may not always coincide with when the changes came into force for the document.
For any versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation the date will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force.
