ANNEX IX Template and numbering system for the certificate for the placing on the market and entry into service of parts or equipment which may pose a serious risk to the correct functioning of essential systems LIST OF APPENDICES Appendix Number Appendix title Page 1 Model of the EU type-approval authorisation certificate for the placing on the market and entry into service of parts or equipment which may pose a serious risk to the correct functioning of essential systems 200 1. General requirements 1.1. The placing on the market of parts or equipment which may pose a serious risk to the correct functioning of systems that are essential for the safety of the vehicle or for its environmental performance shall be subject to authorisation in accordance with Article 51(3) of Regulation (EU) No 168/2013. 1.2. Such authorisation shall take the form of a certificate, a model of which is contained in Appendix 1, and the numbering system of which is described in point 2. 1.3. The certificate set out in point 1.2. shall include prescriptions for construction safety and functional safety, as well as for environmental protection and, where needed, for testing standards. They may be based on the Commission Delegated Regulations listed in Annex II to Regulation (EU) 168/2013, may be developed according to the relevant state of safety, environmental and testing technology, or, if this is an appropriate way of achieving the required safety or environmental objectives, may consist of a comparison of the part or equipment with the environmental or safety performance of the original vehicle, or of any of its parts, as appropriate. 1.4. This Annex shall not be applicable to a part or piece of equipment before it is listed in Annex X. For any entry or group of entries in Annex X, a reasonable transitional period shall be fixed to allow the manufacturer of the part or equipment to apply for and obtain an authorisation. At the same time a date may be fixed, where appropriate, to exclude parts and equipment designed for vehicles type- approved before that date from the application of this Annex. 2. Numbering system 2.1. The number of the certificate for the placing on the market and entry into service of parts or equipment which may pose a serious risk to the correct functioning of essential systems shall consist of a total of five sections as detailed below. The sections shall be separated by an asterisk (‘*’). 2.1.1. Section 1: The lower-case letter ‘e’ followed by the distinguishing number of the Member State (given in point 2.1 of Annex VII) issuing the certificate. 2.1.2. Section 2: The number of Regulation (EU) 168/2013: ‘168/2013’ shall be indicated. 2.1.3. Section 3: The identification of the part or component, according to the list in Annex X. — for parts or equipment having a significant impact on the vehicle’s construction safety and/or functional safety, this means the symbol ‘I’ followed by the ‘/’character and the correspondent ‘Item No’ from table 10-1 in Annex X. The ‘Item No’ shall have three digits and start from ‘001’. — for parts or equipment having a significant impact on the environmental performance of the vehicle, this means the symbol ‘II’ followed by the ‘/’character and the correspondent ‘Item No’ from table 10-2 in Annex X. The ‘Item No’ shall have three digits and start from ‘001’. 2.1.4. Section 4: Sequential number for the certificate. — a sequential number with leading zeros (as applicable), to denote the certificate number. The sequential number shall have three digits and start from ‘001’. 2.1.5. Section 5: Sequential number to denote the extension of the certificate. — a two-digit sequential number, with leading zero as applicable, starting from ‘00’ for each certificate number issued. 2.2. Format of the numbering of a certificate (with fictive sequential numbers for explanation purposes). Example of the number of a certificate issued by Bulgaria for parts or equipment integrated in a vehicle type-approved according to Regulation (EU) No 168/2013: — e34*168/2013*II/002*148*00 — e34 = Bulgaria (section 1) — 168/2013 = Regulation (EU) 168/2013 (section 2) — II/002 = Item 002 on the list of parts or equipment having a significant impact on the environmental performance of the vehicle (section 3) — 148 = certificate sequential number (section 4) — 00 = extension number (section 5) Example of the number of a certificate issued by Austria for parts or equipment integrated in a vehicle type-approved according to Regulation (EU) No 168/2013, which has been extended once: — e12*168/2013*I/034*225*01 — e12 = Austria (section 1) — 168/2013 = Regulation (EU) 168/2013 (section 2) — I/034 = Item 034 on the list of parts or equipment having a significant impact on the vehicle’s construction safety and/or functional safety (section 3) — 225 = certificate sequential number (section 4) — 01 = extension number (section 5)
