Likewise, no description is needed where a component’s structure is clear from the diagrams or drawings attached to the certificate. State the numbers of the corresponding Annexes for each heading where Photographs and drawings must be attached. (b) Where used, means of identification may appear only on vehicles, separate technical units or components falling within the scope of the separate directive governing components type-approval. Where the method of type identification includes characters which do not relate to the description of the types of vehicle/separate technical unit/component referred to in this information document, those characters are replaced in the documentation, by the sign ô?ö (example:ABC??123??). (c) Classification in accordance with the following categories: - two-wheel moped, - three-wheel moped and light quadricycle, - motor-cycle, - motor-cycle with side-car, - motor tricycle and quadricycle.

Unladen mass: mass of vehicle ready for normal use and equipped as follows: - additional equipment required solely for the normal use under consideration, - complete electrical equipment, including the lighting and light-signalling devices supplied by the manu- facturer, - instruments and devices required by the laws under which the unladen mass of the vehicle has been measured, - the appropriate amounts of liquids in order to ensure the proper operation of all parts of the vehicle. N. B. : the fuel and the fuel/oil mixture are not included in the measurement, but components such as the battery acid, the hydraulic fluid, the coolant and the engine oil must be included. 2. Mass in running order: unladen mass to which the mass of the following components is added: - fuel: tank filled to at least 90% of the capacity stated by the manufacturer, - additional equipment normally supplied by the manufacturer in addition to that need for normal operation (tool kit, luggage carrier, windscreen, protective equipment, etc. ) N.

In this case, the oil is already included in the measurement of the unladen mass. 3. Technically permissible maximum mass: mass calculated by the manufacturer for specific operating conditions, taking account of factors such as the strength of the materials, loading capacity of the tyres, etc. 4. Maximum payload declared by the manufacturer: load obtained by subtracting the mass defined in section 2, with rider, from the mass defined in section 3. 5. The mass of the rider is taken to be a round figure of 75 kg.

Annex V is replaced by the following: ANNEX V NUMBERING AND MARKING A. TYPE-APPROVAL AND COMPONENT TYPE-APPROVAL CERTIFICATE NUMBERING SYSTEM (see Article 5) 1. The type-approval number and component type-approval number shall consist of - four sections for type-approvals and - five sections for characteristic, component, and separate technical unit approvals, as detailed below. In all cases, the sections shall be separated by the ’*’ character. Section 1: the lower case letter ôeö followed by the distinguishing code (letter(s) or number) of the Member State issuing the type-approval or component type-approval: 1 for Germany; 2 for France; 3 for Italy; 4 for the Netherlands; 5 for Sweden; 6 for Belgium; 9 for Spain; 11 for the United Kingdom; 12 for Austria; 13 for Luxembourg; 17 for Finland; 18 for Denmark; 21 for Portugal; 23 for Greece; IRL for Ireland. Section 2: the number of the base directive. Section 3: the number of the latest amending Directive applicable to the type-approval or component type- approval. In the case of type-approvals, this means the latest Directive amending an Article (or Articles) of Directive 92/61/EEC. In the case of component type-approvals, this means the latest separate directive containing the actual provisions with which the characteristic, component or technical unit conforms. However, if a base directive has not been amended, its number is retaken in section 3. Should a directive contain different implementation dates referring to different technical standards, an alphabetical character shall be added to specify to which standard the approval was granted. In the case component type-approvals are possible according to chapters or sections of the same separate directive, an Arabic number to indicate each chapter or section shall be added to Section 3. If the sections or chapters are divided in parts having a separate approval certificate, a Roman number indicating each part shall be added. In all cases, these numbers shall be separated by the ’’/’’ character. Section 4: a four-digit sequential number (with leading zeros as applicable) to denote the base type-approval or component type-approval number. The sequence shall start from 0001 for each base directive. In the case of a derogatory approval pursuant to Article 15a(3), the first character shall be replaced by the letter Dö. Section 5: a two-digit sequential number (with leading zeros if applicable) to denote the extension. The sequence shall start from 00 for each base type-approval or component type-approval number. 2. In the case of type-approvals, Section 2 shall be omitted. 3. On the vehicle’s statutory plate only, Section 5 shall be omitted. 4. Example of the second component type-approval granted by the Netherlands according to Directive 97/24/EC, Chapter 5, Part II: e4*97/24*97/24/5/II*0002*00 5. Example of the third component type-approval (extension 1) granted by Italy according to Directive 95/1/EC, Section 1: e3*95/1*95/1/1*0003*01 6. Example of the fourth type-approval (extension 2) granted by Germany: e1*92/61*0004*02 7. Example of the type-approval number stamped on the vehicle’s statutory plate: e1*92/61*0004 26. 10. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 307 E/19 B. COMPONENT TYPE-APPROVAL MARK 1. The component type-approval mark consists of: 1. 1. a rectangle surrounding a lower case letter ôeö, followed by the distinguishing number or group of letters of the Member State which has issued component type-approval, i. e. : - 1 for Germany - 2 for France - 3 for Italy - 4 for the Netherlands - 5 for Sweden - 6 for Belgium - 9 for Spain - 11 for the United Kingdom - 12 for Austria - 13 for Luxembourg - 17 for Finland - 18 for Denmark - 21 for Portugal - 23 for Greece - IRL for Ireland; 1. 2. the component type-approval number corresponding to the number of the component type-approval form completed for the separate technical unit or component concerned. The component type-approval number is entered below and close to the rectangle referred to in 1. 1. The figures making up the component type-approval number are entered on the same side of the letter ’e’ and face the same direction. In order to avoid any confusion with other symbols, Roman numerals must not be used in the component type- approval number. 2. The component type-approval is affixed to the separate technical unit or component in such a way as to be indelible and clearly legible, even when the separate technical unit or component is fitted to the vehicle. 3. An example of a component type-approval mark is contained in the Appendix to this Annex.

The maximum number of vehicles put into service in each Member State under the procedure laid down in Article 15a(2) shall be restricted in one of the following ways to be chosen by the Member State: either (a) the maximum number of vehicles of one or more types may not exceed 10 % of the vehicles of all types concerned put into service in that Member State during the previous year. Should 10 % be less than 100 vehicles, then the Member State may allow the putting into service of a maximum of 100 vehicles; or (b) the number of vehicles of any one type shall be restricted to those for which a valid certificate of conformity was issued on or after the date of manufacture and which remained valid for at least three months after its date of issue but subsequently lost its validity because of coming into force of a separate directive. A special entry shall be made on the certificate of conformity of the vehicles put into service under this procedure. í
