      ‘5.

      Annex VII does not apply to type-approvals granted in accordance with UNECE Regulations listed in Annex IV, as the relevant numbering system is provided for in the respective UNECE Regulations. However, Annex VII applies to EC type-approvals granted under Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 which are based on UNECE Regulations (i.e. incorporating new technologies, EC type-approved components and STUs, virtual testing and self-testing). In this case, the following numbering system is applied:

      • Section 1: as above

      • Section 2: “661/2009” (i.e. General Safety Regulation)

      • Section 3: First portion is the UNECE Regulation No, followed by “R-”, the second portion is the series of amendments or “00” if it is the original series, followed by “-” and the third portion is the supplement level (with leading zeroes if applicable) or “00” when there is no supplement to the relevant series.

      • Section 4: as above

      • Section 5: as above

      Examples:

      e1*661/2009*13-HR-10-05*00001*00

      in the Appendix, point 4 is added:

      ‘4.

      This Appendix does not apply to type-approvals granted in accordance with UNECE Regulations listed in Annex IV, as the relevant arrangements of approval marks are provided for in the respective UNECE Regulations. However, this Appendix applies to EC component and separate technical unit type-approvals granted under Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 which are based on UNECE Regulations (i.e. components or separate technical units incorporating new technologies). In this case, the following arrangement of markings is applied:

      The distinguishing type-approval marking shall be as prescribed in the relevant UNECE Regulation and as if granted through conventional UNECE Regulation type-approval, however, the following shall be taken into account:

      When a circle surrounding the letter “E” is prescribed, this shall be not a circle, but a rectangle. Its height (a) shall at least correspond to the prescribed diameter size and its width shall exceed that value (i.e. > a). Instead of the upper-case letter “E”, the lower-case letter “e” shall be used, followed by the distinguishing number of the Member State which has granted the EC component or separate technical unit type-approval.

      Example:

      

      (granted by Germany, based on UNECE Regulation No 28, original series, first approval issued, for a Class II audible warning device incorporating new technologies)’
