This shall be construed as a binding provision for national authorities to consider the certificates of conformity to be no longer valid for the purposes of Article 26 of Directive 2007/46/EC, except in the case where alternative dates are specified in Regulation (EC) No 661/2009, which should then be taken instead.\n(a)\nUNECE Regulation Nos 1, 8 and 20 are not applicable for EC type-approval of new vehicles.\n(b)\nThe fitting of an electronic stability control system is required in accordance with Article 12(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 661/2009.

Therefore, the application of Part A of Annex 9 to UNECE Regulation No 13-H is mandatory for the purposes of EC type-approval of new types of vehicles as well as for registration, sale and entry into service of new vehicles. However, the implementation dates concerning electronic stability control systems mentioned in Article 13(1) and (5) of this Regulation shall apply instead of the dates mentioned in that UNECE Regulation.\n(d)\nA safety-belt reminder is not required for a driver position equipped with an S-type belt or Harness belt.\n(e)\nCompliance with Part II of UNECE Regulation No 34 is not compulsory.\n(f)\nWhere it is declared by the vehicle manufacturer that a vehicle is suitable for towing loads (point 2.11.5 of Annex I to Directive 2007/46/EC), no mechanical coupling device fitted to the vehicle shall (partly) obscure any lighting component (e.g. rear fog lamp) or the space for mounting and the fixing of the rear registration plate, unless the installed mechanical coupling device can be removed or repositioned without the use of any tools, including release keys.\n(g)\nOnly Speed Limitation Devices (SLD) and the mandatory installation of SLD on vehicles of category M2, M3, N2 and N3 are concerned.\nAppendix\nValidity and extension of approvals granted under the Directives repealed by this Regulation\nIn accordance with Article 13(14) of this Regulation, EC type-approval certificates for vehicles, components and separate technical units issued in accordance with the directives listed below may be used to demonstrate compliance with the relevant UNECE regulations.\nRegulation Number\nSubject\nCorresponding Directive\nOJ Reference\nApplicability\n10\nElectromagnetic compatibility\nDirective 72/245/EEC\nOJ L 152, 6.7.1972, p. 15.\nM, N, O, component, STU (a)\n11\nDoor latches and door retention components\nDirective 70/387/EEC\nOJ L 176, 10.8.1970, p. 5.\nM1, N1 (b)\n12\nProtection of the driver against the steering mechanism in the event of impact\nDirective 74/297/EEC\nOJ L 165, 20.6.1974, p. 16.\nM1, N1 (a)\n14\nSafety-belt anchorages, ISOFIX anchorages systems and ISOFIX top tether anchorages\nDirective 76/115/EEC\nOJ L 24, 30.1.1976, p. 6.\nM (c)\n18\nProtection of motor vehicles against unauthorized use\nDirective 74/61/EEC\nOJ L 38, 11.2.1974, p. 22.\nM2, M3, N2, N3, component, STU\n21\nInterior fittings\nDirective 74/60/EEC\nOJ L 38, 11.2.1974, p. 2.\nM1\n26\nExternal projections\nDirective 74/483/EEC\nOJ L 266, 2.10.1974, p. 4.\nM1, STU (d)\n28\nAudible warning devices and signals\nDirective 70/388/EEC\nOJ L 176, 10.8.1970, p. 12.\nM, N, component\n30\nPneumatic tyres for motor vehicles and their trailers (Class C1)\nDirective 92/23/EEC\nOJ L 129, 14.5.1992, p. 95.\ncomponent (e)\n34\nPrevention of fire risks (liquid fuel tanks)\nDirective 70/221/EEC\nOJ L 76, 6.4.1970, p. 23.\nM, N, O (f)\n39\nSpeedometer equipment including its installation\nDirective 75/443/EEC\nOJ L 196, 26.7.1975, p. 1.\nM, N (g)\n43\nSafety glazing materials\nDirective 92/22/EEC\nOJ L 129, 14.5.1992, p. 11.\nM, N, O, component\n46\nDevices for indirect vision and their installation\nDirective 2003/97/EC\nOJ L 25, 29.1.2004, p. 1.\nM, N, component\n48\nInstallation of lighting and light-signalling devices on motor vehicles\nDirective 76/756/EEC\nOJ L 262, 27.9.1976, p. 1.\nM, N, O\n55\nMechanical coupling components of combinations of vehicles\nDirective 94/20/EC\nOJ L 195, 29.7.1994, p. 1.\nM, N, O, component\n58\nRear underrun protective devices (RUPDs) and their installation;
