EU - Draft Commission Implementing Regulation Laying Down Rules on Online Data Exchange and the Notification of EU Type-Approvals under Regulation (EU) 2018/858

Business description

On July 14, 2020, the European Commission released the draft implementing act laying down the administrative requirements for the online data exchange of EU type-approvals, granted, amended, refused or withdrawn as well as a list of the technical services which have performed the tests for the respective EU type-approvals under the framework Regulation (EU) 2018/858.

These amendments ensure that type-approval authorities use a harmonised exchange mechanism for EU type-approval certificates and their attachments, and make a list of EU type-approvals publicly available.

Applicability:Vehicles and their trailers (M-, N- and O-category vehicles) and systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.

The objective and rationale of this draft:

Regulation (EU) No 2018/858 sets out general requirements on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers (M-, N- and O-category vehicles) 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.

Based on the empowerments in Regulation (EU) 2018/858, the Commission laid down in detail the administrative provisions and templates for the type-approval and market surveillance of M-, N- and O-category vehicles.

Regulation (EU) 2018/858 was published in the EU Official Journal in June 2018. The administrative requirements for online data exchange of EU type-approvals were not included in the final adopted version of the framework Regulation (EU) 2018/858.

This implementing act of an administrative nature is necessary for the regular implementation of Regulation (EU) 2018/858. The online data exchange of type-approval information between EU Member States is already a common way of working and some Member States already made this information publicly available.
