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 46(3) of Regulation (EU) No 167/2013. 1.2. Such authorisation shall take the form of a certificate, a model of which is contained in Appendix 1. 1.3. The certificate referred to in point 1.2 shall include prescriptions for construction safety, functional safety and braking performance, as well as for environmental protection and, where needed, for testing standards. They may be based on the Commission Delegated Regulations listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 167/2013, 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 IX. For any entry or group of entries in Annex IX, 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.
