Commission Decision

of 20 March 2006

on the detailed technical requirements for carrying out the tests specified in Directive 2005/66/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council relating to the use of frontal protection systems on motor vehicles

(notified under document number C(2006) 776)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2006/368/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Directive 2005/66/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council relating to the use of frontal protection systems on motor vehicles and amending Council Directive 70/156/EECf1, and in particular Article 4(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Directive 2005/66/EC sets out the basic requirements for the Community type-approval of motor vehicles with regard to the use of frontal protection systems and the type-approval of frontal protection systems as separate technical units.

(2)

It is necessary to lay down the detailed technical requirements for the tests laid down in Section 3 of Annex I to that Directive.

(3)

Since those tests are based on the scientific work performed by the European Enhanced Vehicle Safety Committee (EEVC), the detailed technical requirements should also be based on the EEVC recommendations.

(4)

In order to ensure the safety of pedestrians and other road users, it should be possible for a frontal protection system which has been designed for more than one vehicle type to be type-approved separately for every type. However, the test authority should be able to waive additional tests in cases where the vehicle types for which the frontal protection system is intended are sufficiently similar, or the frontal protection system is sufficiently similar to models which have already been tested.

(5)

The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established under Directive 70/156/EC,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
