ANNEX VII Numbering system of the EU type-approval certificate 1. EU type-approval certificates shall be numbered in accordance with the method set out in this Annex. 2. The EU type-approval number shall consist of a total of four sections for whole-vehicle type-approvals and five sections for type-approval of systems, components, and separate technical units as detailed below. In all cases, the sections shall be separated by an asterisk (‘*’). 2.1. Section 1: The lower-case letter ‘e’ followed by the distinguishing number of the Member State issuing the EU type-approval, applicable for all type-approval numbers. 1 Germany 2 France 3 Italy 4 The Netherlands 5 Sweden 6 Belgium 7 Hungary 8 Czech Republic 9 Spain 11 United Kingdom 12 Austria 13 Luxembourg 17 Finland 18 Denmark 19 Romania 20 Poland 21 Portugal 23 Greece 24 Ireland 25 Croatia 26 Slovenia 27 Slovakia 29 Estonia 32 Latvia 34 Bulgaria 36 Lithuania 49 Cyprus 50 Malta 2.2. Section 2: The number of the applicable Regulation or Commission Delegated Regulation. — in case of EU whole-vehicle type-approval ‘168/2013’ shall be indicated; — in the case of national small-series whole-vehicle type-approvals in accordance with Article 42 of Regulation (EU) No 168/2013, the letters NKS in block capitals shall precede the ‘168/2013’; — in the case of a system, component or separate technical unit type-approval, the number of the corresponding Commission Delegated Regulation supplementing Regulation (EU) No 168/2013: ‘3/2014’, ‘44/2014’ or ‘134/2014’ shall be indicated. 2.3. Section 3: the latest amending Commission Delegated Regulation (e.g. ‘RRR/2016’) followed by the identification code of the system, component or separate technical unit and the stage of implementation applicable to the type-approval according to Table 1 of point 5.: — In the case of EU whole-vehicle type-approval, section 3 shall be omitted; — In the case of EU type-approval of a system, component or separate technical unit, the number of the last amending Commission Delegated Regulation followed with an alphanumerical character as set out in Table 1 of point 5. to clearly identify the type of system, component or separate technical unit shall be indicated. 2.4. Section 4: Sequential number for type-approval certificates. — A sequential number with leading zeros (as applicable), to denote the type-approval number. The sequential number shall have five digits starting from ‘00001’. 2.5. Section 5: Sequential number to denote the extension number of the type-approval — a two-digit sequential number, with leading zero as applicable, starting from ‘00’ for each type-approval number issued. 3. On the vehicle’s statutory plate(s) only, section 5 shall be omitted. 4. Lay-out of the type-approval numbers (with fictive sequential numbers and fictive amending Commission Delegated Regulation number (‘RRR/2016’) for explanation purposes) Example of a component/separate technical unit type-approval of an audible warning device, which has not yet been extended, issued by France: — e2*3/2014*3/2014N*00003*00 — e2 = France (section 1) — 3/2014 = Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 3/2014) (section 2) — 3/2014N = repeat the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 3/2014) to denote that it has not been amended and the letter ‘N’ to indicate that is an audible warning device (section 3) — 00003 = type-approval sequential number (section 4) — 00 = extension number (section 5) Example of a vehicle system type-approval of an engine emissions (Euro 4 stage), amended by another Commission Delegated Regulation RRR/2016 which has been extended twice, issued by the Bulgaria: — e34*134/2014*RRR/2016A1*00403*02 — e34 = Bulgaria (section 1) — 134/2014 = Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 134/2014) (section 2) — RRR/2016A1 = amending Commission Delegated Regulation number (RRR/2016) and the letter and number ‘A1’ to indicate that is a engine emissions (Euro 4 stage) (section 3) — 00403 = type-approval sequential number (section 4) — 02 = extension number (section 5) Example of a national small series whole vehicle type-approval, which has been extended once, issued by Austria and granted in accordance with Article 42 of Regulation (EU) No 168/2013: — e12*NKS168/2013*00001*01 — e12 = Austria (section 1) — NKS168/2013 = Regulation (EU) 168/2013 precede by the national small-series denominator (section 2) — 00001 = type-approval sequential number (section 4) — 01 = extension number (section 5) Example of a whole vehicle type-approval number, which has been extended five times, issued by the Netherlands: — e4*168/2013*10690*05 — e4 = the Netherlands (section 1) — 168/2013 = Regulation (EU) 168/2013 (section 2) — 10690 = type-approval sequential number (section 4) — 05 = extension number (section 5) Table 1 Codification for the numbering system of EU type-approval certificates of systems, components and separate technical units LIST I — Environmental and propulsion unit performance requirements System or component/separate technical unit (STU) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No alphanumerical character System: engine emissions (Euro 4 stage) 134/2014 A1 System: engine emissions (Euro 5 stage) 134/2014 A2 System: evaporative emissions (point 1.4.1. to 1.4.3 of Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 168/2013) 134/2014 B1 System: evaporative emissions (point 1.4.4. to 1.4.6 of Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 168/2013) 134/2014 B2 System: evaporative emissions (point 1.4.7. to 1.4.8 of Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 168/2013) 134/2014 B3 System: environmental on-board diagnostic (OBD Stage I: point 1.8.1. to 1.8.2 of Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 168/2013) 134/2014 C1 System: environmental on-board diagnostic (OBD Stage II: point 1.8.3. of Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 168/2013) 134/2014 C2 System: sound level 134/2014 D System: propulsion unit performance 134/2014 E STU: pollution-control device 134/2014 F STU: noise-abatement device 134/2014 G STU: exhaust device (pollution-control device and noise-abatement device) 134/2014 H Example of a type-approval number to be indicated on a vehicle’s statutory plate — e50*168/2013*20089 — e50 = Malta (section 1) — 168/2013 = Regulation (EU) 168/2013 (section 2) — 20089 = type-approval sequential number (section 4) 5.
