1. This Regulation establishes a common list of categories, types and degrees of serious infringements of the Union rules in the commercial road transport, as laid down in Annex I to this Regulation, which, in addition to those set out in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009, may lead to the loss of good repute of a road transport operator.
2. This Regulation provides for the maximum frequency of occurrence beyond which repeated serious infringements shall be regarded as more serious, by taking into account the number of drivers used for the transport activities managed by the transport manager, as laid down in Annex II.
3. Member States shall take into account information on the serious infringements referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 when carrying out the national administrative procedure on assessing good repute.

X
Directive 2014/47/EU on technical roadside inspection of the roadworthiness of commercial vehicles contains in its Annex II a detailed classification of technical deficiencies divided, according to their level of severity, into minor, major and dangerous deficiencies. Article 12.2 of this Directive provides for the following definitions:
(a)
minor deficiencies having no significant effect on the safety of the vehicle or impact on the environment, and other minor non-compliances;
(b)
major deficiencies that may prejudice the safety of the vehicle or have an impact on the environment or put other road users at risk, or other more significant non-compliances;
(c)
dangerous deficiencies constituting a direct and immediate risk to road safety or having an impact on the environment.
The level of infringements against the provisions of the roadworthiness directives shall reflect the classification of deficiencies contained in Annex II of Directive 2014/47/EU, namely: SI = major deficiencies; VSI = dangerous deficiencies; MSI = driving with deficiencies, which creates immediate risk to road safety. Minor deficiencies would be equal to the level of minor infringements.

Commission Directive 2004/112/EC ( 12 ) , adapting Council Directive 95/50/EC ( 13 ) on uniform procedures for checks on the transport of dangerous goods by road, contains in its Annex II a detailed classification of infringements against the relevant provisions, divided, according to their level of severity, into three risk categories: risk category I, risk category II, risk category III.
The level of infringements against the provisions shall reflect the risk categories provided in Annex II to Directive 2004/112/EC, in such a way that risk category I = VSI (except those infringements which are already defined as MSI in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009); risk category II = SI . Risk category III is equal to the level of minor infringement.
This table covers only those infringements for which a carrier shall be held fully or partially liable. The level of liability of a carrier for the infringement shall be assessed in accordance with the Member State's national enforcement procedure.

ANNEX IISupplementary provisions
ANNEX II
Frequency of occurrence of serious infringements
1.
The serious (SI) and very serious (VSI) infringements listed in Annex I, when committed repeatedly shall be regarded as more serious by the competent authority of a Member State of establishment. When calculating the frequency of occurrence of repeated infringements Member States shall take into account the following factors:
(a)
seriousness of infringement (SI or VSI);
(b)
time (at least one rolling year from the date of a control);
(c)
number of drivers used for the transport activities managed by the transport manager (average per year)
2.
Taking into account the potential of creating a risk to road safety the maximum frequency of serious infringements beyond which they should be considered as more serious shall be established as follows:
3 SI/per driver/per year
=
1 VSI
3 VSI/per driver/per year
=
launch of a national procedure on good repute
3.
The number of infringements per driver per year is an average figure calculated by dividing the total number of all infringements of the same level of seriousness (SI or VSI) by the average number of drivers employed during the year. The frequency formula provides for a maximum threshold for occurrence of serious infringements beyond which they shall be considered more serious. Member States may establish stricter thresholds if envisaged in their national administrative procedure for assessing good repute.
