# Regulation (EU) 2018/858 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles, amending Regulations (EC) No 715/2007 and (EC) No 595/2009 and repealing Directive 2007/46/EC (Text with EEA relevance), Division

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

AThe approval authority may only grant exemption(s) if the manufacturer demonstrates that the vehicle cannot meet the requirements due to its special purpose. The exemptions granted are to be described on the vehicle type-approval certificate and the certificate of conformity.
A1 The fitting of ESC is not mandatory. In the case of multi-stage type-approvals, where the modifications made at a particular stage are likely to affect the function of the base vehicle's ESC system, the manufacturer may either disable the system or demonstrate that the vehicle has not been rendered unsafe or unstable. This may be demonstrated, e.g., by performing rapid double lane-change manoeuvres in each direction at 80 km/h with sufficient severity to cause intervention by the ESC system. These interventions are to be well-controlled and should improve the stability of the vehicle. The technical service has the right to request further testing if deemed necessary.
BApplication limited to doors giving access to the seats designated for normal use where the vehicle is used on a public road and where the distance between the R point of the seat and the average plane of the door surface, measured perpendicular to the longitudinal medium plane of the vehicle, does not exceed 500 mm.
CApplication limited to that part of the vehicle in front of the rearmost seat designated for normal use where the vehicle is used on a public road and also limited to the head impact zone as defined in the relevant regulatory act.
DApplication limited to seats designated for normal use where the vehicle is used on a public road. Seats that are not designated for use where the vehicle is used on the public road are to be clearly identified to users either by means of a pictogram or a sign with an appropriate text. The luggage retention requirements of UN Regulation No 17 do not apply.
EFront only.
FModification to the routing and length of the refuelling duct and re-positioning of the tank inboard is permissible.
GIn case of multi-stage type-approval, requirements according to the category of the base/incomplete vehicle (e.g. the chassis of which was used to build the special purpose vehicle) may also be used.
HModification of exhaust system length after the last silencer not exceeding 2 m is permissible without any further test.
ITyres are to be type-approved in accordance with the requirements set out in UN Regulation No 54 even if the design speed of the vehicle is less than 80 km/h. The load capacity may be adjusted in relation to the maximum design speed of the trailer in agreement with the tyre manufacturer.
JFor all window glazing other than driver's cab glazing (windshield and side glasses), the material may be either of safety glass or rigid plastic glazing.
KAdditional panic alarm devices are permitted.
LApplication limited to seats designated for normal use where the vehicle is used on a public road. At least anchorages for lap belts are required in the rear seating positions. Seats that are not designated for use where the vehicle is used on a public road are to be clearly identified to users either by means of a pictogram or a sign with an appropriate text. ISOFIX is not required on ambulances and hearses.
MApplication limited to seats designated for normal use where the vehicle is used on a public road. At least lap belts are required in all rear seating positions. Seats that are not designated for use when the vehicle is used on a public road are to be clearly identified to users either by means of a pictogram or a sign with an appropriate text. ISOFIX is not required on ambulances and hearses.
NProvided that all mandatory lighting devices are installed and that the geometric visibility is not affected.
QModification of exhaust system length after the last silencer not exceeding 2 m is permissible without any further test. A GB type-approval granted to the most representative base vehicle remains valid irrespective of change in the reference weight.
RSpace must be provided for a registration plate meeting the requirements of the Road Vehicles (Display of Registration Marks) Regulations 2001.
SThe light transmission factor is at least 60 % and the ‘A’ pillar obstruction angle is not more than 10 degrees.
TTest to be performed only with the complete/completed vehicle. The vehicle may be subjected to the test procedures described in Directive 70/157/EEC, as it had effect immediately before IP completion day. Concerning point 5.2.2.1 of Annex I to Directive 70/157/EEC, the following limit values are applicable:
(a)81 dB(A) for vehicles with an engine power of less than 75 kW;
(b)83 dB(A) for vehicles with an engine power of not less than 75 kW but less than 150 kW;
(c)84 dB(A) for vehicles with an engine power of not less than 150 kW.
UTest to be performed only with the complete/completed vehicle. Vehicles up to 4 axles are to comply with all the requirements laid down in the relevant regulatory acts. Derogations are admitted for vehicles having more than 4 axles, provided that:
(a)they are justified by the particular construction; and
(b)all the braking performances, related to parking, service and secondary braking laid down in the relevant regulatory act are fulfilled.
U1 ABS is not mandatory for vehicles with hydrostatic drive.
VAlternatively, Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 may also apply.
V1 Alternatively, Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 may also apply to vehicles with hydrostatic drive.
W0 Modification of exhaust system length is permitted without any further test, provided that the back pressure is similar. If a new test is required, an extra 2dB(A) above the applicable limit is allowed.
W1 Modification in the exhaust system is permitted without any further test of tailpipe emissions and CO2/fuel consumption provided that the emission control devices, including particulate filters (if any), are not affected. If the evaporative control devices are kept as fitted by the manufacturer of the base vehicle, no new evaporative test is required on the modified vehicle.
A GB type-approval granted to the most representative base vehicle remains valid irrespective of change in the reference mass.
W2 Modification of the routing, length of the refuelling duct, fuel hoses and fuel vapour pipes is permitted without further test. Re-location of the original fuel tank is permitted provided all requirements are met. However, further testing in accordance with Annex 5 to UN Regulation No 34 are not required.
W3 The longitudinal plane of the intended wheelchair-travelling position should be parallel to the longitudinal plane of the vehicle.
Appropriate information is to be made available to the vehicle owner that, in order to withstand the forces transmitted by the tie-down mechanism during the various driving conditions, a wheelchair with a structure meeting the relevant part of ISO 7176-19:2008 is recommended.
The seats of the vehicle may be adapted without further testing, provided it can be demonstrated to the technical service that their anchorages, mechanisms and head restraints provide the same level of performance.
The luggage retention requirements set out in UN Regulation No 17 do not apply.
W4 Compliance with the relevant regulatory act(s) is required for the boarding aids when in the resting position.
W5 Each wheelchair location is to be provided with anchorages to which a wheelchair tie-down and occupant restraint system (WTORS) is to be fitted, and that complies with the additional provisions for testing the wheelchair tie-down and occupant restraint system set out in Appendix 3.
W6 Each wheelchair location is to be provided with an occupant restraint belt that complies with the additional provisions for testing the wheelchair tie-down and occupant restraint system of set out in Appendix 3.
When, due to the conversion, anchorage points for the safety belts need to be moved outside the tolerance provided for in paragraph 7.7.1 of UN Regulation No 16.06, the technical service is to check whether the alteration constitutes a worst case or not. If that is the case, the test provided for in paragraph 7.7.1. of UN Regulation No 16.06 is to be performed. An extension to the UNECE type-approval (or GB type-approval, if applicable) is not required. The test may be performed using components that have not undergone the conditioning test prescribed by UN Regulation No 16.06.
W8 For the purposes of calculations, the mass of the wheel-chair including the user is assumed to be 160 kg. The mass is to be concentrated at the P point of the surrogate wheelchair in its travelling position declared by the manufacturer.
Any limitation in the passenger capacity resulting from the use of wheelchair(s) is to be recorded in the owner's handbook, on side 2 of the GB type-approval certificate and in the certificate of conformity.
W9 Modification of the exhaust system length is permitted without the need for retesting, provided that the exhaust back pressure remains similar.
YProvided that all mandatory lighting devices are installed.
ZThe requirements on the protrusion of open windows do not apply to the living compartment.
Z1 Mobile cranes with more than six axles are considered to be off-road vehicles (N3G) when at least three axles are driven and provided they meet the provisions of point 4.3(b)(ii) and (iii), as well as point 4.3(c) of Part A of Annex I.
Z2The minimum number of ISOFIX child seat anchorages need not be provided. In the case of a multi-stage type approval where an ISOFIX anchorage system has been affected by the conversion, either the system shall be re-tested or the anchorages shall be rendered unusable. In the latter case the ISOFIX labels shall be removed and appropriate information shall be provided in the vehicle owner’s manual for the completed vehicle.
