# Council Regulation (EEC) No 3821/85 of 20 December 1985 on recording equipment in road transport, Appendix 9: TYPE APPROVAL — LIST OF MINIMUM REQUIRED TESTS

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

1.
INTRODUCTION
1.1.
Type approval
The EEC type approval for a recording equipment (or component) or a tachograph card is based on:
a security certification, performed by an ITSEC authority, 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 VIII of this Annex).
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.
This Appendix considers separately the type approval of the motion sensor and of the vehicle unit, as components of the recording equipment. Interoperability between every model of motion sensor and every model of vehicle unit is not required, therefore the type approval for a motion sensor can be granted only in combination with the type approval of a vehicle unit and vice versa.
