of 27 January 2011

implementing Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards type-approval requirements for certain categories of motor vehicles and their trailers as regards spray suppression systems

(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 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 concerning type-approval requirements for the general safety of motor vehicles, their trailers and systems, components and separate technical units intended thereforf1, and in particular Article 14(1)(a) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 is a separate Regulation for the purposes of the type-approval procedure provided for by 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)f2.

(2)

Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 repeals Council Directive 91/226/EEC of 27 March 1991 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the spray suppression systems of certain categories of motor vehicles and their trailersf3.

(3)

Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 lays down fundamental provisions on requirements for the type-approval of motor vehicles with regard to their spray suppression systems and the type-approval of spray suppression systems as separate technical units. It is now necessary to set out the specific procedures, tests and requirements for such type-approval.

(4)

In so doing, it is appropriate to carry over to this Regulation the requirements set out in Directive 91/226/EEC adapted where necessary to the development of scientific and technical knowledge.

(5)

The scope of this Regulation should be in line with that of Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 and thus limited to vehicles of categories N and O. The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Technical Committee — Motor Vehicles,
