5.2.2.      Notwithstanding paragraph 5.2.1. above the vehicle manufacturer can also provide and upload the information required for all single vehicles covered by an IWVTA regardless of their destination.

5.2.3.      The information referred to in paragraph 5.2.1. above shall be uploaded in due time for the placing on the market of the vehicles in the Contracting Parties.

5.2.4.      The information referred to in paragraph 5.2.1. above may also be uploaded by the approval authority on behalf of the manufacturer. In this case, it is the responsibility of the manufacturer to provide the approval authority with the necessary information and remain accountable for its accuracy.

6.      Test procedure

6.1.      Where compliance to the requirements of paragraph 5.1. above is demonstrated by providing all required certificates covering all variants and versions of the IWVTA type, no further testing shall be required for the items covered by these certificates.

7.      Modification of IWVTA type and modification of approval

7.1.      In the case of any change to the IWVTA type with respect to a particular item recorded in the information folder, the procedure specified in paragraph 2., Schedule 3 of the 1958 Agreement shall apply.

7.1.1.      The type approval authority granting the extension of approval shall update the approval number with an extension number incremented in accordance with the number of successive extensions already granted in accordance with Annex 8 and issue a revised communication form denoted by this extension number.

7.2.      An existing IWVTA may only be modified by extension or revision if all of the following conditions are met:

7.2.1.      The vehicles before and after modification belong to the same IWVTA class.

7.2.2.      The status of the IWVTA before and after modification does not change between universal and limited recognition.

7.2.3.      After modification all vehicles covered by the extension or revision comply with the same version of each UN Regulation included.

7.3.      For changes that do not meet any of the conditions of paragraphs 7.2.1. and 7.2.2., a new IWVTA shall be issued. For changes not meeting the condition defined in paragraph 7.2.3. the IWVTA shall be split (see also paragraph 7.4.4.).

7.4.      When new requirements enter into force (resulting from amendments to Annex 4) the manufacturer owning the type approval shall notify the approval authority who issued the U-IWVTA about one of the options specified in the subparagraphs below.

The notification is deemed to have been made when the manufacturer notifies the approval authority using a communication form conforming to the model in Annex 9.

7.4.1.      The IWVTA type concerned is not affected by the new requirements. In that case, no amendment to the type approval shall be required.

7.4.2.      The IWVTA type is affected and the manufacturer wants to maintain the universal status of the IWVTA and therefore applies for an extension of the type approval. The type approval marking shall be updated as necessary.

7.4.3.      The IWVTA type is affected but the manufacturer does not want to maintain the universal status of the IWVTA. In that case, the U-IWVTA shall be withdrawn (effective at the date the IWVTA ceases to be universal). For the continued production a new L-IWVTA shall be issued. However, when granting this new L-IWVTA, transitional provisions of UN Regulation No. 0 and UN Regulations listed in Annex 4 shall be interpreted as if an existing IWVTA were extended.

7.4.4.      In the case the manufacturer wants to pursue both options (paragraphs 7.4.2. and 7.4.3. above) at the same time for different portions of his production, the type approval has to be split due to definition of an IWVTA type (Annex 7, Part A, paragraph 1.2.1., subparagraph (b)). In this case the existing U- IWVTA shall be extended and remain a U-IWVTA for the portion of the production that is modified to meet the newly applicable requirements. For the portion of the production that remains unchanged a new L-IWVTA with a new approval number shall be issued. However, when granting this new L-IWVTA, the transitional provisions of UN Regulation No. 0 and UN Regulations listed in Annex 4 shall be interpreted as if an existing IWVTA were extended. The manufacturer’s type designations shall clearly identify the different IWVTA types in these two approvals.

7.5.      In the case a manufacturer performs technical changes on a type of vehicle which was covered by an L-IWVTA such that the vehicle now meets the requirements for the universal level a new U-IWVTA shall be issued. The pre-existing L-IWVTA can be continued or withdrawn if no longer needed.    [OJL135-3]

In the process of granting the new U-IWVTA, the following rules shall be respected:

(a)      The technical requirements for an existing vehicle type apply to all equipment and parts already approved in accordance with the versions of the UN Regulations listed in Annex 4, Part A, Section I and included in the pre-existing L-IWVTA provided no change has been made to the relevant equipment or parts that would result in a new type;

(b)      The technical requirements for a new vehicle type apply in all other cases.

8.      Conformity of production

The conformity of production procedures shall comply with those set out in Schedule 1 of the 1958 Agreement with the following requirements:

8.1.      A vehicle approved to this Regulation shall be so manufactured as to conform to the type approved by meeting the requirements of paragraph 5. above.

8.2.      The approval authority which has granted type approval may at any time verify the conformity control methods applied in each production facility. Such verification should primarily be aimed at the whole vehicle and assembly level activities and shall not, without reasonable justification, repeat previous assessments undertaken for the separate UN Regulations comprising part of the IWVTA.

9.      Penalties for non-conformity of production

9.1.      The approval granted in respect of an IWVTA type pursuant to this Regulation may be withdrawn if the requirements are not complied with or if a vehicle bearing the type approval marking does not conform to the IWVTA type approved.

9.2.      If a Contracting Party applying this Regulation withdraws an approval it has previously granted, it shall forthwith so notify the other Contracting Parties applying this Regulation by means of a communication form conforming to the example in Annex 1.

10.      Production definitively discontinued

If the holder of the approval completely ceases to manufacture an IWVTA type approved in accordance with this Regulation, they shall inform the approval authority, which granted the approval. Upon receiving the relevant communication, that approval authority shall inform the Contracting Parties applying this Regulation by means of a communication form conforming to the example in Annex 1 using the secure internet database in accordance with Schedule 5 of the 1958 Agreement, Revision 3.

11.      Names and addresses of Technical Services responsible for conducting approval tests and of Type Approval Authorities

In accordance with the provisions of Article 2.2 of the 1958 Agreement Contracting Parties applying this Regulation shall communicate the names and addresses of the Technical Services they have designated for verifying that the relevant provisions of this Regulation have been satisfied and of the approval authorities which grant approvals and to which communication forms referred to Annex 1 are to be sent.

12.      Introductory and transitional provisions

12.1.      As from 9 months after the date of entry into force of this Regulation and subject to the conditions of paragraphs 13.1. and 13.5., a Contracting Party applying this Regulation shall accept an IWVTA issued pursuant to this Regulation and shall not request separate approvals pursuant to those UN Regulations listed in Annex 4, Part A, Section I, compliance to which is certified by this IWVTA.

12.2.      When granting a type approval according to this Regulation, the transitional provisions of the version of UN Regulations as listed in Annex 4 and of any later version of these UN Regulations shall be respected, however, taking into account the special provisions of paragraph 13.3. below.

13.      Special provisions for Contracting Parties applying this Regulation

13.1.      Regardless of whether a Contracting Party applies any UN Regulations listed in Annex 4, Part A, Section I, it shall accept in accordance with the principles laid down in Articles 1 and 3 of the 1958 Agreement a U-IWVTA as evidence of compliance for all vehicle systems, equipment and parts approved therein. However, wheeled vehicles bearing a U-IWVTA pursuant to UN Regulation No. 0 remain subject to national or regional requirements for vehicle systems, equipment and parts not covered by the UN Regulations listed in Annex 4.

13.2.      Regardless of whether a Contracting Party applies any UN Regulations listed in Annex 4, Part A, Section I, it may issue type approvals to this Regulation subject to Article 2 of the 1958 Agreement, taking account of paragraph 2.8. above.

13.3.      Regardless of whether a Contracting Party applies any UN Regulations listed in Annex 4, Part A, Section I it shall for the purpose of granting an IWVTA accept any type approvals issued according to UN Regulations listed in Annex 4, Part A, Section I.

For U-IWVTA it shall accept type approvals issued in accordance with the version of the UN Regulations as listed in Annex 4, Part A, Section I, or type approvals issued to any later versions of the UN Regulations submitted in accordance with paragraph 5.1.2. above.

If the latest version of an individual UN Regulation is not listed in Annex 4, Part A, Section I and notwithstanding the fact that the transitional provisions of this latest version are no longer obliging Contracting Parties to accept approvals to the earlier version, approvals issued according to the version of the UN Regulation listed in Annex 4, Part A, Section I shall be accepted.

13.4.      Regardless of whether a Contracting Party applies any UN Regulations listed in Annex 4, Part A, Section I, it shall for the purpose of placing on the market of equipment and spare parts for vehicles covered by an IWVTA accepted by that Contracting Party, accept type approvals to the UN Regulations listed in Annex 4, Part A, Section I as evidence of compliance for the respective equipment and parts.

However, a Contracting Party not applying some of the UN Regulations listed in Annex 4, Part A, Section I may notify to the secretariat of the Administrative Committee that for these UN Regulations it is not bound by this obligation of accepting the type approvals issued in accordance with these UN Regulations as evidence of compliance for the respective equipment and parts. The notification has to specifically identify the UN Regulation(s) for which UN type-approved spare parts will not be accepted without further national or regional certification.

13.5.      Subject to notification to the secretariat of the Administrative Committee, a Contracting Party may accept in accordance with the principles laid down in Articles 1, 3 and 12 of the 1958 Agreement, a L-IWVTA. For that purpose, it shall notify to the secretariat of the Administrative Committee the UN Regulations and their versions for which it will accept type approvals as evidence of compliance for some or all vehicle systems, equipment and parts covered therein. Any changes to the level of acceptance shall also be notified before the date of application.     [OJL135-4]

For such notification, the Contracting Party shall use the UNECE online sharing system and indicate the level(s) of acceptance for each UN Regulation concerned. The Contracting Party shall then accept as evidence of compliance an L-IWVTA which includes at least the type approvals that are in accordance with the notification by the Contracting Party.   [OJL135-5]     [R0.00s1-6]

1      If a UN Regulation number is followed by an asterisk “*” this indicates that the respective requirement applies only if the corresponding system is fitted to the vehicle. This then means that for the purpose of a U-IWVTA both vehicles with or without this system are acceptable. However, where the system is fitted to the vehicle, the requirement applies. The same also applies to systems not identified by * where it can be demonstrated that the corresponding requirements are not applicable to the IWVTA type

2      The entry is understood as the required minimum, i.e. including all supplements in force at the time the approval is issued. Approvals to any later versions have to be equally accepted in accordance with paragraph 13.3. of this Regulation.

Section II:      Notification for L-IWVTA

3      A notification is necessary only for those UN Regulations where an earlier version than that specified in Section I is also accepted. In accordance with paragraph 13.1. of this Regulation the latest version shall be accepted in any case. The entry “none” means that topic is not regulated by the Contracting Party and therefore compliance with the respective UN Regulations is not required. The entry “or later” has to be mentioned only if the Contracting Party also accepts approvals according to later versions of the UN Regulations than the version it has notified. In any case approvals according to the version specified in Section I of this annex as well as approvals to the latest version of the UN Regulations concerned have to be accepted in accordance with paragraphs 13.1. and 13.3. of this Regulation. Such versions therefore do not have to be mentioned with the entry “or later”.

Information about the minimum content of an L-IWVTA that will be accepted by a Contracting Party can be found in the status document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/343 as amended.    [OJL135-8]

Annex 7      Definition of the IWVTA class and IWVTA type

Part A: Vehicles of category M1

1.      DEFINITION OF IWVTA CLASS, IWVTA TYPE, VARIANT, AND VERSION

1.1.      IWVTA class

1.1.1.      An “IWVTA class” shall consist of vehicles which have all of the following features in common:

(a)      The manufacturer’s company name;

A change in the legal form of ownership of the company does not require that a new approval has to be granted;

(b)      The design and assembly of the essential parts of the body structure in the case of a self-supporting body;

The same shall apply mutatis mutandis to vehicles the bodywork of which is bolted on or welded to a separate frame.

1.1.2.      By way of derogation from the requirements of paragraph 1.1.1., subparagraph (b) above, when the manufacturer uses the floor portion of the body structure as well as the essential constituent elements forming the front part of the body structure located directly in front of the windscreen bay, in the construction of different kinds of bodywork (for example a saloon and a coupe), those vehicles may be considered as belonging to the same IWVTA class. Evidence thereof shall be provided by the manufacturer.

1.1.3.      An IWVTA class shall consist of at least one IWVTA type.

1.2.      IWVTA type

1.2.1.      An “IWVTA type” shall consist of vehicles which have all of the following features in common:

(a)      The IWVTA class;

(b)      The level of conformity with respect to the UN Regulations listed in Annex 4 which are applicable to the variants and versions within the IWVTA type.

1.2.2.      The level of conformity cited in paragraph 1.2.1.(b) is understood the following way:

(a)      If a UN Regulation listed in Annex 4 is applicable to different variants or versions within an IWVTA type then all these variants and versions need to comply with the same version of that UN Regulation;

(b)      Notwithstanding paragraph 1.2.2.(a) some of the UN Regulations listed in Annex 4 may be applicable not to all variants or versions within the same IWVTA type (e.g. high voltage protection is relevant only for electric or hybrid variants);

(c)      In the process of extending an IWVTA the level of conformity can be raised e.g. as an existing type is amended to meet the requirements of a later version of this Regulation. However, such amendment needs to cover all variants and versions within the IWVTA type at the same time.

1.2.3.      An IWVTA type shall consist of at least one variant and one version.

1.3.      Variant

1.3.1.      A “variant” within an IWVTA type shall group the vehicles which have all of the following construction features in common:

(a)      The number of lateral doors or the type of bodywork as defined in paragraph 2. below when the manufacturer uses the criterion of paragraph 1.1.2. above;

(b)      The power plant with regard to the following construction features:

(i)      The type of energy supply (internal combustion engine, electric motor or other);

(ii)      The working principle (positive ignition, compression ignition or other);

(iii)      The number and arrangement of cylinders in the case of internal combustion engine (L4, V6 or other).

Annex 8      Type approval number for IWVTA

An approval number shall be assigned to each IWVTA type to be approved. To reflect the special situation in IWVTA, it shall differ in some respect from the generic type approval number defined in Schedule 4 of the 1958 Agreement.

1.      The type approval number shall consist of 4 sections. Each section shall be separated by the ‘*’ character.

1.1.      Section 1: The capital letter ‘E’ followed by the distinguishing number of the Contracting Party which has granted the type approval.

1.2.      Section 2: The number of the relevant UN Regulation, followed by the capital letter ‘R’, successively followed by:

(a)      Two digits (with leading zeros as applicable) indicating the series of amendments incorporating the technical provisions of the UN Regulation applied to the approval (00 for the UN Regulation in its original form);

(b)      A slash and the capital letter U in case of a universal IWVTA or the capital letter L in case of an IWVTA with limited recognition.

1.3.      Section 3: A six-digit number consisting of:

(a)      A sequential four-digit number (with leading zeros as applicable) identifying the IWVTA class. The sequence shall start from 0001;

(b)      A slash and a sequential two-digit number (with a leading zero as applicable) identifying the IWVTA type within an IWVTA class. The sequence shall start from 01.

1.4.      Section 4: A two-digit sequential number (with leading zeros if applicable) to denote the extension. The sequence shall start from 00.

2.      All digits shall be Arabic digits.

Example:      The approval number E4*0R03/U*0025/01*02 identifies the second extension of a universal IWVTA granted by the Netherlands (E4) according to the third series of amendments to this Regulation for the first IWVTA type within the IWVTA class approved under number 0025.
