ANNEX III Procedure for EU type-approval of driving licences which include a microchip III.1 GENERAL PROVISIONS Manufacturers applying for an EU type-approval of driving licences including a microchip shall present a security certificate and a functional certificate. Any intended modification to the production process, including software, shall be subject to a prior notification to the authority which granted type-approval. The authority may require further information and tests before accepting the modification. Tests shall follow the methods laid down in item 12 of Annex II to this Regulation. III.2 SECURITY CERTIFICATE For the security evaluation, driving licence microchips shall be evaluated according to the criteria specified in Annex II, item 13. A security certificate shall only be delivered upon successful evaluation of the ability of the microchip to resist attempts to tamper with or alter data. III.3 FUNCTIONAL CERTIFICATE A functional evaluation of driving licences including a microchip shall be laboratory- tested in accordance with the criteria specified in Annex II, item 14. Member States implementing a microchip on driving licences shall ensure that the relevant functional standards and the requirements of Annex I are complied with. A functional certificate shall be delivered to the manufacturer once: — there is a valid security certificate for the microchip, — compliance with requirements of Annex II has been demonstrated, and — functional tests have been passed successfully. The relevant Member State authority is responsible for issuing the functional certificate. The functional certificate shall indicate the identity of the issuing authority, the identity of the applicant, the identification of the microchip and a detailed list of the tests and their results.
