Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1213 of 12 July 2019 laying down detailed provisions ensuring uniform conditions for the implementation of interoperability and compatibility of on-board weighing equipment pursuant to Council Directive 96/53/EC (Text with EEA relevance) (c. 1213)

Article 2 U.K. Definitions

The following definitions shall apply:

(a)

‘on-board weighing equipment’ (‘OBW’) means the equipment on-board a vehicle that is able to determine the total weight or the axle weight;

(b)

‘total weight’ means the total weight of a motor vehicle and, in case of a vehicle combination, of the vehicle combination as determined by the OBW, in kilogram;

(c)

‘axle weight’ or ‘axle load’ means the weight of a laden axle or group of axles as determined by the OBW, in kilogram;

(d)

‘calculated weight’ or ‘weight value’ means either the total weight or the axle weight, in kilogram;

(e)

‘motor vehicle unit’ (‘MVU’) means the part of the OBW placed in the motor vehicle, excluding the sensors, able to collect, store, process data and to calculate a weight value resulting from those data;

(f)

‘trailer unit’ (‘TU’) means the part of the OBW placed in a trailer or semi-trailer, excluding the sensors, able to collect, store, process data from the trailer or semi-trailer equipment and to calculate axle weight values resulting from those data;

(g)

‘dedicated short range communication vehicle unit’ (‘DSRC-VU’) means the ‘remote early detection facility’, as referred to in Appendix 14 to Annex IC to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/799(1), able to receive the OWS data from either the MVU or the C-ITS station and to send it to the REDCR;

(h)

‘remote early detection communication reader’ (‘REDCR’) means the remote early detection communication reader held by the enforcement authorities, which is able to read the OWS data transmitted by the DSRC-VU. The REDCR may be the same device as the one used for reading the RTM data pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/799, although both the transmission of the RTM data and that of the OWS data shall be carried out under separate requests from the REDCR;

(i)

‘weight data’ means the raw data transmitted between elements of the OBW that must be processed in order to obtain the calculated weight;

(j)

‘on-board weighing system data’ (‘OWS data’) means the secured data of defined format requested by the REDCR from the DSRC-VU;

(k)

‘sensor’ means the element of the OBW that is able to generate weight data by measuring specific physical parameters, being those data used by either the MVU or the TU for further processing;

(l)

‘cooperative intelligent transport systems station’ (‘C-ITS station’) means the C-ITS station within the meaning of the delegated act supplementing Directive 2010/40/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the deployment and operational use of cooperative intelligent transport systems, adopted on the basis of Article 6(1) of that Directive;

(m)

‘address assignment phase’ means the preliminary phase of electronic communication between vehicles of a vehicle combination whereby a position is assigned to each vehicle.

(n)

‘on-board weighing equipment workshop’ (‘OBW-workshop’) means a workshop authorised by a Member State to perform inspections of on-board weighing equipment.

(1)

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 (OJ L 139, 26.5.2016, p. 1).
