Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1347
of 13 July 2017
correcting Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, Commission Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 and Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 supplementing Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council on type-approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and Euro 6) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information, amending Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 and Commission Regulation (EU) No 1230/2012 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 692/2008
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2007 on type approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and Euro 6) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information(1), and in particular Article 8 and Article 14(3) thereof,
Having regard to Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 September 2007 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)(2), and in particular Article 39(2) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2009 on type-approval of motor vehicles and engines with respect to emissions from heavy duty vehicles (Euro VI) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information and amending Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and Directive 2007/46/EC and repealing Directives 80/1269/EEC, 2005/55/EC and 2005/78/EC(3), and in particular Article 5(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Directive 2007/46/EC sets out the framework for the type approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles. Several elements in that framework in particular in relation to the manufacturer's information document, test reports, certificate of conformity and the type approval conditions need to be adapted to take account of the new Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151(4).
(2) Regulations (EC) No 715/2007 and (EC) No 595/2009 require, respectively, new light- and heavy-duty vehicles to comply with certain emission limits and lay down additional requirements on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information.
(3) As regards heavy-duty vehicles, certain specific technical provisions necessary to implement Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 were adopted by Commission Regulation (EU) No 582/2011(5). Several technical errors in Annexes I and II to Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 need to be corrected in order to ensure its proper application.
(4) As regards light-duty vehicles, certain specific technical provisions necessary to implement Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 were adopted by Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008(6) and Regulation (EU) 2017/1151. By way of an amendment to Regulation (EC) No 692/2008, Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1221(7) introduced a new procedure for evaporative emissions. Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 brought the type-approval procedure in line with the Worldwide Harmonised Light-Duty Vehicles Test Procedures (WLTP) as laid down in Global Technical Regulation (GTR) No 15 of the United Nations Economic Committee for Europe (UNECE).
(5) As regards the new test procedure for evaporative emissions, the date of application of the amendments introduced by Regulation (EU) 2017/1221 should be clarified. The new test procedure should become mandatory in the Union for all new type approvals and first registration of vehicles as of 1 September 2019.
(6) As regards the new WLTP procedure, several technical errors in Articles 2 and 15 and in Annexes I, IIIA, V, VII, VIII, XII and XXI to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 need to be corrected in order to ensure its proper application.
(7) In addition, the provisions for the road load matrix family of the WLTP test procedure should be clarified.
(8) The corrections provided for by this Regulation are intrinsically linked since only in their totality they ensure a correct application of the respective type approval measures.
(9) Consequently, Directive 2007/46/EC, Regulation (EU) No 715/2007, Regulation (EU) No 582/2011, Regulation (EU) 2017/1221 and Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 should be corrected accordingly.
(10) Given the need to ensure that Regulation (EU) 2017/1221 and Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 are correctly applied, this Regulation should enter into force as a matter of urgency.
(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Technical Committee — Motor Vehicles,
