Vehicles referred to in Article 16(1) of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 and vehicles, which were exempt from the scope of application of Regulation (EEC) No 3820/85, but which are no longer exempt under Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 shall have until 31 December 2007 to comply with this requirement.2.Member States may exempt vehicles mentioned in Articles 13(1) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 from application of this Regulation.3.Member States may, after authorisation by the Commission, exempt from application of this Regulation vehicles used for the transport operations referred to in Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006.4.In the case of national transport operations, Member States may require the installation and use of recording equipment in accordance with this Regulation in any of the vehicles for which its installation and use are not required by paragraph 1.

CHAPTER IIType approval

Article 4For the purposes of this Chapter, the words "recording equipment" shall mean "recording equipment or its components".Applications for EEC approval of a type of recording equipment or of a model record sheet or memory card shall be submitted, accompanied by the appropriate specifications, by the manufacturer or his agent to a Member State. No application in respect of any one type of recording equipment or of any one model record or memory card sheet may be submitted to more than one Member State.

Article 5A Member State shall grant EC component type-approval to any type of recording equipment, to any model record sheet or memory card which conforms to the requirements laid down in Annex I or IB to this Regulation, provided the Member State is in a position to check that production models conform to the approved type.The system's security must comply with the technical requirements laid down in Annex IB. The Commission shall ensure that the said Annex stipulates that recording equipment may not be granted EC component type-approval until the whole system (the recording equipment itself, driver card and electrical gearbox connections) has demonstrated its capacity to resist attempts to tamper with or alter the data on driving times. Those measures, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Regulation, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 18(2). The tests necessary to establish this shall be carried out by experts familiar with up-to-date tampering techniques.Any modifications or additions to an approved model must receive additional EEC type approval from the Member State which granted the original EEC type approval.

Article 6Member States shall issue to the applicant an EEC approval mark, which shall conform to the model shown in Annex II, for each type of recording equipment or model record sheet or memory card which they approve pursuant to Article 5.

Article 7The competent authorities of the Member State to which the application for type approval has been submitted shall, in respect of each type of recording equipment or model record sheet or memory card which they approve or refuse to approve, either send within one month to the authorities of the other Member States a copy of the approval certificate accompanied by copies of the relevant specifications, or, if such is the case, notify those authorities that approval has been refused; in cases of refusal they shall communicate the reasons for their decision.

Article 81.If a Member State which has granted EEC type approval as provided for in Article 5 finds that certain recording equipment or record sheets or memory cards bearing the EEC type approval mark which it has issued do not conform to the prototype which it has approved, it shall take the necessary measures to ensure that production models conform to the approved prototype. The measures taken may, if necessary, extend to withdrawal of EEC type approval.2.A Member State which has granted EEC type approval shall withdraw such approval if the recording equipment or record sheet or memory card which has been approved is not in conformity with this Regulation or its Annexes or displays in use any general defect which makes it unsuitable for the purpose for which it is intended.3.If a Member State which has granted EEC type approval is notified by another Member State of one of the cases referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, it shall also, after consulting the latter Member State, take the steps laid down in those paragraphs, subject to paragraph 5.4.A Member State which ascertains that one of the cases referred to in paragraph 2 has arisen may forbid until further notice the placing on the market and putting into service of the recording equipment or record sheets or memory cards. The same applies in the cases mentioned in paragraph 1 with respect to recording equipment or record sheets or memory cards which have been exempted from EEC initial verification, if the manufacturer, after due warning, does not bring the equipment into line with the approved model or with the requirements of this Regulation.In any event, the competent authorities of the Member States shall notify one another and the Commission, within one month, of any withdrawal of EEC type approval or of any other measures taken pursuant to paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 and shall specify the reasons for such action.5.If a Member State which has granted an EEC type approval disputes the existence of any of the cases specified in paragraphs 1 or 2 notified to it, the Member States concerned shall endeavour to settle the dispute and the Commission shall be kept informed.If talks between the Member States have not resulted in agreement within four months of the date of the notification referred to in paragraph 3 above, the Commission, after consulting experts from all Member States and having considered all the relevant factors, e.g. economic and technical factors, shall within six months adopt a decision which shall be communicated to the Member States concerned and at the same time to the other Member States. The Commission shall lay down in each instance the time limit for implementation of its decision.

Article 91.An applicant for EEC type approval of a model record sheet shall state on his application the type or types of recording equipment on which the sheet in question is designed to be used and shall provide suitable equipment of such type or types for the purpose of testing the sheet.2.The competent authorities of each Member State shall indicate on the approval certificate for the model record sheet the type or types of recording equipment on which that model sheet may be used.

Article 10No Member State may refuse to register any vehicle fitted with recording equipment, or prohibit the entry into service or use of such vehicle for any reason connected with the fact that the vehicle is fitted with such equipment, if the equipment bears the EEC approval mark referred to in Article 6 and the installation plaque referred to in Article 12.

Article 11All decisions pursuant to this Regulation refusing or withdrawing approval of a type of recording equipment or model record sheet or memory card shall specify in detail the reasons on which they are based. A decision shall be communicated to the party concerned, who shall at the same time be informed of the remedies available to him under the laws of the Member States and of the time-limits for the exercise of such remedies.

CHAPTER IIIInstallation and inspection

Article 121.Recording equipment may be installed or repaired only by fitters or workshops approved by the competent authorities of Member States for that purpose after the latter, should they so desire, have heard the views of the manufacturers concerned.The period of administrative validity of approved workshop and fitter cards shall not exceed one year.If a card issued to an approved workshop or fitter is to be extended, is damaged, malfunctions, is lost or is stolen, the authority shall supply a replacement card within five working days of receiving a detailed request to that effect.Where a new card is issued to replace an old one, the new card shall bear the same "workshop" information number, but the index shall be increased by one. The authority issuing the card shall maintain a register of lost, stolen or defective cards.Member States shall take any measure necessary to prevent the cards distributed to approved fitters and workshops from being falsified.2.The approved fitter or workshop shall place a special mark on the seals which it affixes and, in addition, shall enter for recording equipment in conformity with Annex IB, the electronic security data for carrying out, in particular, the authentication checks. The competent authorities of each Member State shall maintain a register of the marks and electronic security data used and of approved workshop and fitter cards issued.3.The competent authorities of the Member States shall forward to the Commission the lists of approved fitters and workshops and the cards issued to them and shall forward to it copies of the marks and of the necessary information relating to the electronic security data used.4.For the purpose of certifying that installation of recording equipment took place in accordance with the requirements of this Regulation an installation plaque affixed as provided in Annexes I and IB shall be used.5.Any seal may be removed by the fitters or workshops approved by competent authorities under paragraph 1 of this Article, or in the circumstances described in Annex I, Chapter V, paragraph 4 or in Annex IB section VI(c) to this Regulation.

CHAPTER IVUse of equipment

Article 13The employer and drivers shall ensure the correct functioning and proper use of, on the one hand, the recording equipment and, on the other, the driver card where a driver is required to drive a vehicle fitted with recording equipment in conformity with Annex IB.

Article 141.The employer shall issue a sufficient number of record sheets to drivers of vehicles fitted with recording equipment in conformity with Annex I, bearing in mind the fact that these sheets are personal in character, the length of the period of service and the possible obligation to replace sheets which are damaged, or have been taken by an authorised inspecting officer. The employer shall issue to drivers only sheets of an approved model suitable for use in the equipment installed in the vehicle.Where the vehicle is fitted with recording equipment in conformity with Annex IB, the employer and the driver shall ensure that, taking into account the length of the period of service, the printing on request referred to in Annex IB can be carried out correctly in the event of an inspection.2.The undertaking shall keep record sheets and printouts, whenever printouts have been made to comply with Article 15(1), in chronological order and in a legible form for at least a year after their use and shall give copies to the drivers concerned who request them. The undertaking shall also give copies of downloaded data from the driver cards to the drivers concerned who request them and the printed papers of these copies. The record sheets, printouts and downloaded data shall be produced or handed over at the request of any authorised inspecting officer.3.The driver card as defined in Annex IB shall be issued, at the request of the driver, by the competent authority of the Member State where the driver has his normal residence.A Member State may require any driver subject to the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 3820/85 and normally resident on its territory to hold a driver card.(a)For the purposes of this Regulation "normal residence" means the place where a person usually lives, that is for at least 185 days in each calendar year, because of personal and occupational ties, or, in the case of a person with no occupational ties, because of personal ties which show close links between that person and the place where he is living.However, the normal residence of a person whose occupational ties are in a different place from his personal ties and who consequently lives in turn in differnt places situated in two or more Member States shall be regarded as being the place of his personal ties, provided that such person returns there regularly. This last condition need not be met where the person is living in a Member State in order to carry out a fixed-term assignment.(b)Drivers shall give proof of their place of normal residence by any appropriate means, such as their identity card or any other valid document.(c)Where the competent authorities of the Member State issuing the driver card have doubts as to the validity of a statement as to normal residence made in accordance with point (b), or for the purpose of ceratin specific controls, they may request any additional information or evidence.(d)The competent authorities of the issuing Member State shall, as far as this can be done, ensure that the applicant does not already hold a valid driver card.4.(a)The competent authority of the Member State shall personalise the driver card in accordance with the provisions of Annex IB.For administarative purposes, the driver card may not be valid for more than five years.The driver may hold one valid driver card only. The driver is authorised to use only his own personalised driver card. The driver shall not use a driver card which is defective or which has expired.When a new driver card is issued replacing the old, the new card shall bear the same driver card issue number but the index shall be increased by one. The issuing authority shall keep records of issued, stolen, lost or defective driver cards for a period at least equivalent to their period of administrative validity.If the driver card is damaged, malfunctions or is lost or stolen, the authority shall supply a replacement card within five working days of receiving a detailed request to that effect.In the event of a request for the renewal of a card whose expiry date is approaching, the authority shall supply a new card before the expiry date provided that the request was sent to it within the time limits laid down in the second subparagraph of Article 15(1).(b)Driver cards shall be issued only to applicants who are subject to the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 3820/85.(c)The driver card shall be personal. It may not, during its official period of validity, be withdrawn or suspended for whatever reason unless the competent authority of a Member State finds that the card has been falsified, or the driver is using a card of which he is not the holder, or that the card held has been obtained on the basis of false declarations and/or forged documents. If such suspension or withdrawal measures are taken by a Member State other than the Member State of issue, the former shall return the card to the authorities of the Member State which issued it and shall indicate the reasons for returning it.(d)Driver cards issued by Member States shall be mutually recognised.Where the holder of a valid driver card issued by a Member State has established his normal place of residence in another Member State, he may ask for his card to be exchanged for an equivalent driver card; it shall be the responsibility of the Member State which carries out the exchange to verify if necessary whether the card produced is actually still valid.Member States carrying out an exchange shall return the old card to the authorities of the Member State of issue and inidcate the reasons for so doing.(e)Where a Member State replaces or exchanges a driver card, the replacement or exchange, and any subsequent replacement or renewal, shall be registered in that Member State.(f)Member States shall take all the necessary measures to prevent any possibility of driver cards being falsified.5.Member States shall ensure that data needed to monitor compliance with Regulation (EEC) No 3820/85 and Council Directive 92/6/EEC of 10 February 1992 on the installation and use of speed limitation devices for certain categories of motor vehicles in the CommunityOJ L 57, 2.3.1992, p.27. which are recorded and stored by recording equipment in conformity with Annex IB to this Regulation can be made available for at least 365 days after the date of their recording and that they can be made available under conditions that guarantee the security and accuracy of the data.Member States shall take any measures necessary to ensure that the resale or decommissioning of recording equipment cannot detract, in particular, from the satisfactory application of this paragraph.

Article 151.Drivers shall not use dirty or damaged record sheets or driver cards. The sheets or driver cards shall be adequately protected on this account.Where a driver wishes to renew his driver card, he shall apply to the competent authorities of the Member State in which he has his normal residence not later than 15 working days before the expiry date of the card.In case of damage to a sheet bearing recordings or driver card, drivers shall attach the damaged sheet or driver card to the spare sheet used to replace it.If the driver card is damaged, malfunctions or is lost or stolen, the driver shall apply within seven calendar days for its replacement to the competent authorities of the Member State in which he has his normal residence.Where a driver card is damaged, malfunctions, or is not in the possession of the driver, the driver shall:(a)at the start of his journey, print out the details of the vehicle the driver is driving, and shall enter onto that printout:(i)details that enable the driver to be identified (name, driver card or driver's licence number), including his signature;(ii)the periods referred to in paragraph 3, second indent (b), (c) and (d);(b)at the end of his journey, print out the information relating to periods of time recorded by the recording equipment, record any periods of other work, availability and rest undertaken since the printout that was made at the start of the journey, where not recorded by the tachograph, and mark on that document details that enable the driver to be identified (name, driver card or driver's licence number), including the driver's signature.2.Drivers shall use the record sheets or driver cards every day on which they are driving, starting from the moment they take over the vehicle. The record sheet or driver card shall not be withdrawn before the end of the daily working period unless its withdrawal is otherwise authorized. No record sheet or driver card may be used to cover a period longer than that for which it is intended.When as a result of being away from the vehicle, a driver is unable to use the equipment fitted to the vehicle, the periods of time referred to in paragraph 3, second indent (b), (c) and (d) shall:(a)if the vehicle is fitted with recording equipment in conformity with Annex I, be entered on the record sheet, either manually, by automatic recording or other means, legibly and without dirtying the sheet; or(b)if the vehicle is fitted with recording equipment in conformity with Annex IB, be entered onto the driver card using the manual entry facility provided in the recording equipment.Where there is more than one driver on board the vehicle fitted with recording equipment in conformity with Annex IB, each driver shall ensure that his driver card is inserted into the correct slot in the tachograph.Drivers shall amend the record sheets as necessary should there be more than one driver on board the vehicle, so that the information referred to in Chapter II (1) to (3) of Annex I is recorded on the record sheet of the driver who is actually driving.3.Drivers shall:ensure that the time recorded on the sheet agrees with the official time in the country of registration of the vehicle,operate the switch mechanisms enabling the following periods of time to be recorded separately and distinctly:(a)under the sign : driving time;(b)"other work" means any activity other than driving, as defined in Article 3(a) of Directive 2002/15/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2002 on the organisation of the working time of persons performing mobile road transport activitiesOJ L 80, 23.3.2002, p. 35., and also any work for the same or another employer within or outside of the transport sector, and must be recorded under this sign;(c)"availability" defined in Article 3(b) of Directive 2002/15/EC must be recorded under this sign ;(d)under the sign : breaks in work and daily rest periods.4.Each Member State may permit all the periods referred to in paragraph 3, second indent (b) and (c) to be recorded under the sign on the record sheets used on vehicles registered in its territory.5.Each crew member shall enter the following information on his record sheet:(a)on beginning to use the sheet — his surname and first name;(b)the date and place where use of the sheet begins and the date and place where such use ends;(c)the registration number of each vehicle to which he is assigned, both at the start of the first journey recorded on the sheet and then, in the event of a change of vehicle, during use of the sheet;(d)the odometer reading:at the start of the first journey recorded on the sheet,at the end of the last journey recorded on the sheet,in the event of a change of vehicle during a working day (reading on the vehicle to which he was assigned and reading on the vehicle to which he is to be assigned);(e)the time of any change of vehicle.5a.The driver shall enter in the recording equipment in conformity with Annex IB the symbols of the countries in which he begins and ends his daily work period. However, a Member State may require drivers of vehicles engaged in transport operations inside its territory to add more detailed geographic specifications to the country symbol provided that the Member State has notified them to the Commission before 1 April 1998 and that they do not number more than 20.The above data entries shall be activated by the driver, and may be entirely manual or automatic if the recording equipment is linked to a satellite tracking system.6.The recording equipment defined in Annex I shall be so designed that it is possible for an authorized inspecting officer, if necessary after opening the equipment, to read the recordings relating to the nine hours preceding the time of the check without permanently deforming, damaging or soiling the sheet.The equipment shall, furthermore, be so designed that it is possible, without opening the case, to verify that recordings are being made.7.(a)Where the driver drives a vehicle fitted with recording equipment in conformity with Annex I, the driver must be able to produce, whenever an inspecting officer so requests:(i)the record sheets for the current week and those used by the driver in the previous 15 days;(ii)the driver card if he holds one, and(iii)any manual record and printout made during the current week and the previous 15 days as required under this Regulation and Regulation (EC) No 561/2006.However, after 1 January 2008, the time periods referred to under (i) and (iii) shall cover the current day and the previous 28 days.(b)Where the driver drives a vehicle fitted with recording equipment in conformity with Annex IB, the driver must be able to produce, whenever an inspecting officer so requests:(i)the driver card of which he is holder;(ii)any manual record and printout made during the current week and the previous 15 days as required under this Regulation and Regulation (EC) No 561/2006, and(iii)the record sheets corresponding to the same period as the one referred to in the previous subparagraph during which he drove a vehicle fitted with recording equipment in conformity with Annex I.However, after 1 January 2008, the time periods referred to under (ii) shall cover the current day and the previous 28 days.(c)An authorised inspecting officer may check compliance with Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 by analysis of the record sheets, of the displayed or printed data which have been recorded by the recording equipment or by the driver card or, failing this, by analysis of any other supporting document that justifies non-compliance with a provision, such as those laid down in Article 16(2) and (3).8.It shall be forbidden to falsify, suppress or destroy data recorded on the record sheet, stored in the recording equipment or on the driver card, or print-outs from the recording equipment as defined in Annex IB. The same applies to any manipulation of the recording equipment, record sheet or driver card which may result in data and/or printed information being falsified, suppressed or destroyed. No device which could be used to this effect shall be present on the vehicle.

Article 161.In the event of breakdown or faulty operation of the equipment, the employer shall have it repaired by an approved fitter or workshop, as soon as circumstances permit.If the vehicle is unable to return to the premises within a period of one week calculated from the day of the breakdown or of the discovery of defective operation, the repair shall be carried out en route.Measures taken by Member States pursuant to Article 19 may give the competent authorities power to prohibit the use of the vehicle in cases where breakown or faulty operation has not been put right as provided in the foregoing subparagraphs.2.While the recording equipment is unserviceable or malfunctioning, drivers shall mark on the record sheet or sheets, or on a temporary sheet to be attached to the record sheet or to the driver card, on which he shall enter data enabling him to be identified (driver's card number and/or name and/or driving licence number), including his signature, all information for the various periods of time which are no longer recorded or printed out correctly by the recording equipment.If a driver card is damaged, malfunctions or is lost or stolen, the driver shall, at the end of his journey, print out the information relating to the periods of time recorded by the recording equipment and mark on that document the details that enable him to be identified (the driver card number and/or name and/or driving licence number), including his signature.3.If a driver card is damaged or if it malfunctions, the driver shall return it to the competent authority of the Member State in which he has his normal residence. Theft of the driver card shall be the subject of a formal declaration to the competent authorities of the State where the theft occurred.Loss of the driver card must be reported in a formal declaration to the competent authorities of the State that issued it and to the competent authorities of the Member State of normal residence where they are different.The diver may continue to drive without a driver card for a maximum period of 15 calendar days or for a longer period if this is necessary for the vehicle to return to its premises, provided he can prove the impossibility of producing or using the card during this period.Where the authorities of the Member State in which the driver has his normal residence are different from those which issued his card and where the latter are requested to renew, replace or exchange the driver card, they shall inform the authorities which issued the old card of the precise reasons for its renewal, replacement or exchange.

The vehicle shall be considered as moving as soon as the function detects more than 1 imp/sec for at least five seconds from the motion sensor, otherwise the vehicle shall be considered as stopped.Devices displaying speed (speedometer) and total distance travelled (odometer) installed in any vehicle fitted with a recording equipment complying with the provisions of this Regulation, shall comply with the requirements relating to maximum tolerances laid down in this Annex (Chapters III(2)(1) and III(2)(2)).019aTo detect manipulation of motion data, information from the motion sensor shall be corroborated by vehicle motion information derived from one or more source(s) independent from the motion sensor.2.1.Measurement of distance travelled020The distance travelled may be measured either:so as to cumulate both forward and reverse movements, orso as to include only forward movement.021The recording equipment shall measure distance from 0 to 9999999,9 km.022Distance measured shall be within the following tolerances (distances of at least 1000 m):± 1 % before installation,± 2 % on installation and periodic inspection,± 4 % in use.023Distance measured shall have a resolution better than or equal to 0,1 km.2.2.Measurement of speed024The recording equipment shall measure speed from 0 to 220 km/h.025To ensure a maximum tolerance on speed displayed of ± 6 km/h in use, and taking into account:a ± 2 km/h tolerance for input variations (tyre variations, …),a ± 1 km/h tolerance in measurements made during installation or periodic inspections,the recording equipment shall, for speeds between 20 and 180 km/h, and for characteristic coefficients of the vehicle between 4000 and 25000 imp/km, measure the speed with a tolerance of ± 1 km/h (at constant speed).Note: The resolution of data storage brings an additional tolerance of ± 0,5 km/h to speed stored by the recording equipment.025aThe speed shall be measured correctly within the normal tolerances within 2 seconds of the end of a speed change when the speed has changed at a rate up to 2 m/s2.026Speed measurement shall have a resolution better than or equal to 1 km/h.3.Time measurement027The time measurement function shall measure permanently and digitally provide UTC date and time.028UTC date and time shall be used for dating data inside the recording equipment (recordings, data exchange) and for all printouts specified in Appendix 4 "Printouts".029In order to visualise the local time, it shall be possible to change the offset of the time displayed, in half hour steps. No other offsets than negative or positive multiples of half hours shall be allowed.030Time drift shall be within ± 2 seconds per day in type approval conditions.031Time measured shall have a resolution better than or equal to 1 second.032Time measurement shall not be affected by an external power supply cut-off of less than 12 months in type approval conditions.4.Monitoring driver activities033This function shall permanently and separately monitor the activities of one driver and one co-driver.034Driver activity shall be DRIVING, WORK, AVAILABILITY, or BREAK/REST.035It shall be possible for the driver and/or the co-driver to manually select WORK, AVAILABILITY, or BREAK/REST.036When the vehicle is moving, DRIVING shall be selected automatically for the driver and AVAILABILITY shall be selected automatically for the co-driver.037When the vehicle stops, WORK shall be selected automatically for the driver.038The first change of activity to REST or AVAILABILITY arising within 120 seconds of the automatic change to WORK due to the vehicle stop shall be assumed to have happened at the time of vehicle stop (therefore possibly cancelling the change to WORK).039This function shall output activity changes to the recording functions at a resolution of one minute.040Given a calendar minute, if any DRIVING activity has occurred within the minute, the whole minute shall be regarded as DRIVING.041Given a calendar minute, if DRIVING is registered as the activity of both the immediately preceding and immediately succeeding minute, the whole minute shall be regarded as DRIVING.042Given a calendar minute that is not regarded as DRIVING according to the previous requirement 041, the whole minute shall be regarded to be of the same type of activity as the longest continuous activity within the minute (or the latest of equally long activities).043This function shall also permanently monitor the continuous driving time and the cumulative break time of the driver.5.Monitoring driving status044This function shall permanently and automatically monitor the driving status.045The driving status CREW shall be selected when two valid driver cards are inserted in the equipment, the driving status SINGLE shall be selected in any other case.6.Drivers manual entries6.1.Entry of places where daily work periods begin and/or end046This function shall allow for the entry of places where the daily work periods begin and/or end for a driver and/or a co-driver.047Places are defined as the country and, in addition where applicable, the region.048At the time of a driver (or workshop) card withdrawal, the recording equipment shall prompt the (co-)driver to enter a "place where the daily work period ends".049The recording equipment shall allow this request to be disregarded.050It shall be possible to input places where daily work periods begin and/or end through commands in the menus. If more than one such input is done within one calendar minute, only the last begin place input and the last end place input done within that time shall be kept recorded.6.2.Manual entry of driver activities050aUpon driver (or workshop) card insertion, and only at this time, the recording equipment shall allow manual entries of activities. It shall be possible to make manual entries, if required, at the first insertion of a previously unused driver (or workshop) card.Manual entries of activities shall be performed using local time and date values of the time zone (UTC offset) currently set for the vehicle unit.At driver or workshop card insertion the cardholder shall be reminded of:The date and time of his last card withdrawal.Optionally: the local time offset currently set for the vehicle unitIt shall be possible to input activities with the following restrictions:Activity type shall be WORK, AVAILABILITY or BREAK/REST.Start and end times for each activity shall be within the period of the last card withdrawal — current insertion only.Activities shall not be allowed to overlap mutually in time.The procedure for manual entries of activities shall include as many consecutive steps as necessary to set a type, a start time and an end time for each activity. For any part of the time period between last card withdrawal and current card insertion, the cardholder shall have the option not to declare any activity.During the manual entries associated with card insertion and if applicable, the card holder shall have the opportunity to input:a place where a previous daily work period ended, associated to the relevant time (if not already entered at the last card withdrawal),a place where the current daily work period begins, associated to the relevant time,If a location is entered, it shall be recorded in the relevant tachograph card.Manual entries shall be interrupted if:the card is withdrawn or,the vehicle is moving and the card is in the driver slot.Additional interruptions are allowed, e.g. a timeout after a certain period of user inactivity. If manual entries are interrupted, the recording equipment shall validate any complete place and activity entries (having either unambiguous place and time, or activity type, begin time and end time) already made.If a second driver or workshop card is inserted while manual entries of activities are in progress for a previously inserted card, the manual entries for this previous card shall be allowed to be completed before manual entries start for the second card.The cardholder shall have the option to insert manual entries according to the following minimum procedure:Enter activities manually, in chronological order, for the period last card withdrawal – current insertion.Begin time of the first activity shall be set to card withdrawal time. For each subsequent entry, the start time shall be preset to immediately follow the end time of the previous entry. Activity type and end time shall be selected for each activity.The procedure shall end when the end time of a manually entered activity equals the card insertion time. The recording equipment may then optionally allow the card holder to modify any activity manually entered, until validation by selection of a specific command. Thereafter, any such modification shall be forbidden.6.3.Entry of specific conditions050bThe recording equipment shall allow the driver to enter, in real time, the following two specific conditions:"OUT OF SCOPE" (begin, end)"FERRY / TRAIN CROSSING"A "FERRY / TRAIN CROSSING" may not occur if an "OUT OF SCOPE" condition is opened.An opened "OUT OF SCOPE" condition shall be automatically closed, by the recording equipment, if a driver card is inserted or withdrawn.An opened "OUT OF SCOPE" condition shall inhibit the following events and warnings:Driving without an appropriate card,Warnings associated with continuous driving time.7.Company locks management051This function shall allow the management of the locks placed by a company to restrict data access in company mode to itself.052Company locks consist in a start date/time (lock-in) and an end date/time (lock-out) associated with the identification of the company as denoted by the company card number (at lock-in).053Locks may be turned "in" or "out" in real time only.054Locking-out shall only be possible for the company whose lock is "in" (as identified by the first 13 digits of the company card number), or,055locking-out shall be automatic if another company locks in.055aIn the case where a company locks in and where the previous lock was for the same company, then it will be assumed that the previous lock has not been turned "out" and is still "in".8.Monitoring control activities056This function shall monitor DISPLAYING, PRINTING, VU and card DOWNLOADING activities carried while in control mode.057This function shall also monitor OVER SPEEDING CONTROL activities while in control mode.

The workshops will keep a copy of each issued certificate for at least one year.VII.CARD ISSUINGThe card issuing processes set-up by the Member States shall conform to the following:262The card number of the first issue of a tachograph card to an applicant shall have a consecutive index (if applicable) and a replacement index and a renewal index set to "0".263The card numbers of all non-personal tachograph cards issued to a single control body or a single workshop or a single transport company shall have the same first 13 digits, and shall all have a different consecutive index.264A tachograph card issued in replacement of an existing tachograph card shall have the same card number as the replaced one except the replacement index which shall be raised by "1" (in the order 0, …, 9, A, …, Z).265A tachograph card issued in replacement of an existing tachograph card shall have the same card expiry date as the replaced one.266A tachograph card issued in renewal of an existing tachograph card shall have the same card number as the renewed one except the replacement index which shall be reset to "0" and the renewal index which shall be raised by "1" (in the order 0, …, 9, A, …, Z).267The exchange of an existing tachograph card, in order to modify administrative data, shall follow the rules of the renewal if within the same Member State, or the rules of a first issue if performed by another Member State.268The "card holder surname" for non-personal workshop or control cards shall be filled with workshop or control body name.268aMember States shall exchange data electronically in order to ensure the uniqueness of the tachograph Driver Card that they issue. The competent authorities of Member States may also exchange data electronically when carrying out checks of driver cards at the roadside or at company premises in order to verify the uniqueness and status of the cards.VIII.TYPE APPROVAL OF RECORDING EQUIPMENT AND TACHOGRAPH CARDS1.General pointsFor the purpose of this chapter, the words "recording equipment" mean "recording equipment or its components". No type approval is required for the cable(s) linking the motion sensor to the VU. The paper, for use by the recording equipment, shall be considered as a component of the recording equipment. Any vehicle unit manufacturer may ask for type approval of its component with any type of motion sensor, and vice versa, provided each component complies with Requirement 001a.269Recording equipment shall be submitted for approval complete with any integrated additional devices.270Type approval of recording equipment and of tachograph cards shall include security related tests, functional tests and interoperability tests. Positive results to each of these tests are stated by an appropriate certificate.271Member States type approval authorities will not grant a type approval certificate in accordance with Article 5 of this Regulation, as long as they do not hold:a security certificate,a functional certificate,and an interoperability certificate,for the recording equipment or the tachograph card, subject of the request for type approval.272Any modification in software or hardware of the equipment or in the nature of materials used for its manufacture shall, before being used, be notified to the authority which granted type-approval for the equipment. This authority shall confirm to the manufacturer the extension of the type approval, or may require an update or a confirmation of the relevant functional, security and/or interoperability certificates.273Procedures to upgrade in situ recording equipment software shall be approved by the authority which granted type approval for the recording equipment. Software upgrade must not alter nor delete any driver activity data stored in the recording equipment. Software may be upgraded only under the responsibility of the equipment manufacturer.2.Security certificate274The security certificate is delivered in accordance with the provisions of Appendix 10 to this Annex.274aIn the exceptional circumstance that the security certification authorities refuse to certify new equipment on the grounds of obsolescence of the security mechanisms, type approval shall continue to be granted only in this specific and exceptional circumstance, and when no alternative solution, compliant with the Regulation, exists.274bIn this circumstance the Member State concerned shall, without delay, inform the European Commission, which shall, within twelve calendar months of the grant of type approval, launch a procedure to ensure that the level of security is restored to its original levels.3.Functional certificate275Each candidate for type approval shall provide the Member State's type approval authority with all the material and documentation that the authority deems necessary.275aManufacturers shall provide the relevant samples of type approved products and associated documentation required by laboratories appointed to perform functional tests, and within one month of the request being made. Any costs resulting from this request shall be borne by the requesting entity. Laboratories shall treat all commercially sensitive information in confidence.276A functional certificate shall be delivered to the manufacturer only after all functional tests specified in Appendix 9, at least, have been successfully passed.277The type approval authority delivers the functional certificate. This certificate shall indicate, in addition to the name of its beneficiary and the identification of the model, a detailed list of the tests performed and the results obtained.277aThe functional certificate of any recording equipment component shall also indicate the type approval numbers of all other type approved compatible recording equipment components.4.Interoperability certificate278Interoperability tests are carried out by a single laboratory under the authority and responsibility of the European Commission.279The laboratory shall register interoperability test requests introduced by manufacturers in the chronological order of their arrival.280Requests will be officially registered only when the laboratory is in possession of:the entire set of material and documents necessary for such interoperability tests,the corresponding security certificate,the corresponding functional certificate,The date of the registration of the request shall be notified to the manufacturer.281No interoperability tests shall be carried out by the laboratory for recording equipment or tachograph cards that have not been granted a security certificate and a functionality certificate, except in the exceptional circumstances described in Requirement 274a.282Any manufacturer requesting interoperability tests shall commit to leave to the laboratory in charge of these tests the entire set of material and documents which he provided to carry out the tests.283The interoperability tests shall be carried out, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 5 of Appendix 9 of this Annex, with respectively all the types of recording equipment or tachograph cards:for which type approval is still valid, orfor which type approval is pending and that have a valid interoperability certificate.284The interoperability certificate shall be delivered by the laboratory to the manufacturer only after all required interoperability tests have been successfully passed.285If the interoperability tests are not successful with one or more of the recording equipment or tachograph card(s), as requested by requirement 283, the interoperability certificate shall not be delivered, until the requesting manufacturer has realised the necessary modifications and has succeeded with the interoperability tests. The laboratory shall identify the cause of the problem with the help of the manufacturers concerned by this interoperability fault and shall attempt to help the requesting manufacturer in finding a technical solution. In the case where the manufacturer has modified its product, it is the manufacturer's responsibility to ascertain from the relevant authorities that the security certificate and the functional certificates are still valid.286The interoperability certificate is valid for six months. It is revoked at the end of this period if the manufacturer has not received a corresponding type approval certificate. It is forwarded by the manufacturer to the type approval authority of the Member State who has delivered the functional certificate.287Any element that could be at the origin of an interoperability fault shall not be used for profit or to lead to a dominant position.5.Type approval certificate288The type approval authority of the Member State may deliver the type approval certificate as soon as it holds the three required certificates.289The type approval certificate shall be copied by the type approval authority to the laboratory in charge of the interoperability tests at the time of deliverance to the manufacturer.290The laboratory competent for interoperability tests shall run a public web site on which will be updated the list of recording equipment or tachograph cards models:for which a request for interoperability tests have been registered,having received an interoperability certificate (even provisional),having received a type approval certificate.6.Exceptional procedure: first interoperability certificates291Until four months after a first couple of recording equipment and tachograph cards (driver, workshop, control and company cards) have been certified to be interoperable, any interoperability certificate delivered (including this very first one), regarding requests registered during this period, shall be considered provisional.292If at the end of this period, all products concerned are mutually interoperable, all corresponding interoperability certificates shall become definitive.293If during this period, interoperability faults are found, the laboratory in charge of interoperability tests shall identify the causes of the problems with the help of all manufacturers involved and shall invite them to realise the necessary modifications.294If at the end of this period, interoperability problems still remain, the laboratory in charge of interoperability tests, with the collaboration of the manufacturers concerned and with the type approval authorities who delivered the corresponding functional certificates shall find out the causes of the interoperability faults and establish which modifications should be made by each of the manufacturers concerned. The search for technical solutions shall last for a maximum of two months, after which, if no common solution is found, the Commission, after having consulted the laboratory in charge of interoperability tests, shall decide which equipment(s) and cards get a definitive interoperability certificate and state the reasons why.295Any request for interoperability tests, registered by the laboratory between the end of the four-month period after the first provisional interoperability certificate has been delivered and the date of the decision by the Commission referred to in requirement 294, shall be postponed until the initial interoperability problems have been solved. Those requests are then processed in the chronological order of their registration.ANNEX IIAPPROVAL MARK AND CERTIFICATEI.APPROVAL MARK1.The approval mark shall be made up of:a rectangle, within which shall be placed the letter "e" followed by a distinguishing number or letter for the country which has issued the approval in accordance with the following conventional signs:
