(a) it has never been registered previously; or (b) it has been registered for less than six months at the time of the application for individual vehicle approval. A vehicle shall be considered registered where it has obtained a permanent, temporary or short-term administrative authorisation for entry into service in road traffic, involving its identification and the issuing of a registration number .In the absence of a registration document, the competent authority may refer to available documented evidence of date of manufacture or documented evidence of first purchase.
(a) the actual number of seating positions shall be taken into consideration; and (b) the technically maximum permissible laden mass shall be the maximum mass stated by the manufacturer in the country of origin and available in his official documentation.
(a) The applicant shall submit an application to the approval authority accompanied by all relevant documentation necessary for the operation of the approval procedure. Where the submitted documentation is incomplete, falsified or forged the application for approval shall be rejected. (b) Only one application for a particular vehicle may be submitted in only one Member State. The approval authority may require from the applicant a written commitment that only one application will be submitted in the Member State of the approval authority. By a particular vehicle, it shall be understood a physical vehicle the VIN of which is clearly identified. However, any applicant may apply for EU individual vehicle approval in another Member State in respect of another particular vehicle with technical characteristics identical or similar to the one that has been granted an EU individual vehicle approval. (c) The model of the application form and the layout of the file shall be laid down by the approval authority. The particulars of the vehicle requested may only consist in an appropriate selection of the information included in Annex I. (d) The technical requirements to be complied with are those laid down in point 4. The technical requirements shall be those applicable to vehicles belonging to a type of vehicle currently in production, in relation to the date of the submission of the application. (e) With respect to the tests required under the regulatory acts listed in this Annex, the applicant shall supply a statement of compliance with recognised international standards or regulations. The statement in question may only be issued by the vehicle manufacturer. "Statement of compliance" shall mean a statement issued by the office or department within the manufacturer's organisation that is duly authorised by the management to fully engage the legal responsibility of the manufacturer with respect to the design and the construction of a vehicle. The regulatory acts for which such a statement has to be supplied shall be those referred to in point 4. Where a statement of compliance gives rise to uncertainty, the applicant may be required to obtain from the manufacturer a piece of evidence, including a test report, in order to corroborate the manufacturer's statement.
(a) The technical services entrusted with individual vehicle approvals shall be of category A as referred to in Article 68(1). (b) By way of derogation from the requirement to demonstrate their compliance with the standards listed in Appendix 1 to Annex III, technical services shall comply with the following standards: (i) EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 when they perform tests themselves; (ii) EN ISO/IEC 17020:2012 when they check compliance of the vehicle with the requirements included in this Appendix.
(c) Where specific tests requiring specific skills have to be conducted at the request of the applicant, they shall be conducted by one of the technical services notified to the Commission at the choice of the applicant.
(a) Test reports shall be drafted in accordance with paragraph 5.10.2 of standard EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005. (b) Test reports shall be drafted in one of the languages of the Union determined by the approval authority. Where in application of point 2.3(c) a test report has been issued in a Member State other than the one entrusted with the individual vehicle approval, the approval authority may require that the applicant submits a true translation of the test report. (c) Test reports shall include a description of the vehicle tested, including its identification. The parts that play a significant role with regard to the results of the tests shall be described and their identification number reported. (d) At the request of an applicant, a test report delivered for a system related to a particular vehicle may be presented repeatedly either by the same or another applicant for the purposes of individual approval of another vehicle. In such a case, the approval authority shall ensure that the technical characteristics of the vehicle are properly inspected against the test report. Inspection of the vehicle and the documentation accompanying the test report shall demonstrate that the vehicle for which an individual approval is sought has the same characteristics as the vehicle described in the report. (e) Only authenticated copies of a test report may be submitted. (f) Test reports referred to in point (d) do not include the reports drawn up in order to grant the individual vehicle approval.

(a) the complete LPG or CNG installation shall be checked against the UN Regulations No 67, No 110 or No 115, as appropriate; (b) the formula to be used for the assessment of CO 2 emissions shall be as follows:Petrol engine and manual gearbox: CO 2 = 0,047 m + 0,561 p + 56,621Petrol engine and automatic gearbox CO 2 = 0,102 m + 0,328 p + 9,481Petrol engine and hybrid electric: CO 2 = 0,116 m – 57,147Diesel engine and manual gearbox: CO 2 = 0,108 m – 11,371Diesel engine and automatic gearbox: CO 2 = 0,116 m – 6,432
Where: CO 2 is the combined mass of CO2 emissions in g/km, "m" is the mass of the vehicle in running order in kg and "p" the maximum engine power output in kW.Combined mass of CO 2 shall be calculated with one decimal place, then rounded to the nearest whole number as follows:(i) if the figure following the decimal point is below 5, the total is rounded down; (ii) if the figure following the decimal point is equal to 5 or above 5, the total is rounded up;
(c) the formula to be used for the assessment of fuel consumption shall be as follows: CFC = CO 2 × k– 1 Where: CFC is the combined fuel consumption in l/100 km, CO 2 is the combined mass of CO2 emissions in g/km after it has been rounded in accordance with the rule referred to in Remark (2 b), "k" a coefficient equal to:23,81 in the case of a petrol engine; 26,49 in the case of a diesel engine.
Combined fuel consumption shall be calculated with two decimal places, then rounded as follows: (i) if the figure following the first decimal is below 5, the total is rounded down; (ii) if the figure following the first decimal is equal to 5 or above 5, the total is rounded up.
