SMARTER REGULATION FOR A GLOBALLY


COMPETITIVE EUROPEAN INDUSTRY
The European automotive industry is one of the most heavily regulated, being implicated in
more than 150 EU regulations and 30 directives. In this context, the European Automobile
Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) has produced the third edition of the Automotive
Regulatory Guide. This one-of-a-kind publication provides a comprehensive overview of
national and international regulations impacting the sector – including their applicability
to spare parts – covering topics from safety to the environment, technical requirements,
telecommunications, and much more.

The updated third edition elaborates on regulations applicable in 25 countries and four
economic and trading areas (EU, ASEAN, the Golf Cooperation Council [GCC] & Eurasia).
Specifically, the third edition now covers six additional countries: Argentina, Chile, Colombia,
Ecuador, South Africa, and Turkey, together with a new section on EU free trade agreements
(FTAs). The Guide also consolidates the UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE)
regulations, including the 1958, 1997 and 1998 Agreements. Reference is also made to the
regulatory framework of the World Forum WP.29, which supports introducing innovative
vehicle technologies to the market.

As this Guide emphasises, the European automotive industry is one of Europe's most
heavily regulated sectors. Europe can and should do better to ensure coherent legislation
while enhancing competitiveness internationally. For instance, harmonisation of EU and
international regulations will be critical to accelerating the transition towards climate
neutrality and fostering international trade – this includes coherent rules concerning how
motor vehicles are built and approved. Furthermore, national regulations at the EU member
state level, which define additional requirements before products are placed on the market,
will also be crucial. In sum, smarter rather than more legislation can unlock the full potential of
Europe’s auto industry.

With the support of national and international regulators, the automotive industry is committed
to facing today’s challenges for a smarter, greener, and more competitive future. ACEA hopes
that both industry and policy makers will benefit from the Regulatory Guide, the first of its kind
compiling all EU and international regulations covering the industry in one place.

EU INSTITUTIONS

THERE ARE THREE MAIN INSTITUTIONS INVOLVED IN EU LEGISLATION:

Council of
European Parliament European Commission
the European Union

Together, these three institutions produce through the ‘Ordinary Legislative Procedure’ (ex ‘co-decision’) the policies and laws that
apply throughout the EU.

In principle, the European Commission proposes new laws, and the Parliament and Council adopt them.

The Commission and the member countries then implement them, and the Commission ensures that the laws are properly applied
and implemented.

MINISTRY AND REGULATORY AUTHORITIES

The United Kingdom comprises four countries: England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland
For the purposes of type approval and placing on the UK market, different rules apply for Northern Ireland and Great Britain*.
*Great Britain (GB) consists of England, Scotland, and Wales only.

Type Approval in GB following Brexit:


EU type approvals issued by EU-27 Type Approval Authorities are no longer automatically accepted in GB for the purpose of
registering vehicles for use on the road. Holders of EU-27 Type Approvals must apply for a GB ‘provisional’ approval from the UK
Approval Authority.
Since 1 January 2021, GB has operated a Provisional GB Type Approval Scheme covering motor vehicles which are registered
for use on GB roads. Due to provisions in the Northern Ireland Protocol (NIP), EU approvals can still be used for placing on the
market, sale and registration of vehicles, components and separate technical units in NI.
Since 1 January 2023, a new unlimited series Type Approval Scheme has been available on an optional basis (implemented by
Statutory Instrument 2022 No. 1273). This scheme will become mandatory for new types (new type for the GB scheme equates
to an EU New Type, the introduction of a new variant in the TVVs covered by an existing EU Type, or the addition of automated
driving technologies) from 1 February 2024.

UK Regulatory Framework and retained EU technical regulations:


When the United Kingdom left the EU, all applicable and in force EU legislation was retained into UK domestic law immediately
as it stood on 31 December 2020. For type approval, the UK adopted ‘The Road Vehicles (Approval) Regulations 2020’ to provi-
de the domestic regulatory framework to implement Regulation (EU) 2018/858 in the UK. All the detailed type approval require-
ments for vehicles under The Road Vehicles (Approval) Regulations 2020 are those set out in the directly applicable subsidiary
EU Regulations, as retained on 31 December 2020.
New legislation applicable in the EU since 1 January 2021 is no longer applicable to the UK1.
The UK continues to recognise UNECE approvals for vehicles, systems and components.

Guide to the following UK pages:


At the time of publication, the technical requirements for type approval subjects within The Road Vehicles (Approval) Regula-
tions 2020 remain the same as those set out in the directly applicable subsidiary EU Regulations, as retained on 31st December
2020. UNECE Regulations relevant to each type approval subject continue to be recognised by the UK.

1. Where UK requirements diverge from the subsidiary EU Regulations, these are denoted with footnote 2.
UK Regulations which transpose other EU Directives and Regulations - and form placing on the market requirements for the UK -
are denoted with footnote 3.
(1 examples include Heavy-Duty Euro VI Step E, and General Safety Regulation 2 and any implementing measures)

STATUS OF THE 1958 AGREEMENT

Introduction

The "1958 Agreement", officially known as the "Agreement Concerning the Adoption of Uni-
form Technical Prescriptions for Wheeled Vehicles, Equipment and Parts which can be Fitted
and/or be Used on Wheeled Vehicles and the Conditions for Reciprocal Recognition of Ap-
provals Granted on the Basis of these Prescriptions", is intended to achieve harmonization
and mutual recognition of regulations concerning motor vehicles with regards to safety and
the environment. The agreement consists of a set of regulations created by the United Nations
Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) with the aim of reducing technical barriers to in-
ternational trade in motor vehicles.

Due to the 1958 Agreement, it was possible to standardize technical regulations, especial-
ly for vehicles and vehicle parts, as well as achieve mutual recognition of these standards
between the contracting parties. More than 160 of these UN rules have been established since
1958. While it is not mandatory for participating countries to adopt these rules, a large ma-
jority of countries have complied with them and implemented them into national law. Each
country that has signed the Agreement is authorized to review and approve the design of a
manufacturer of a regulated product, regardless of the country in which that component was
manufactured. Furthermore, each individual design from each individual manufacturer is
counted as a single type. That means that, if an acceding country issues a type approval, each
other acceding country is obliged to recognize that type approval and consider it legal for im-
portation, sale and use. Parts that are type approved by the UN regulation are marked with an
E and a number inside a circle (ECE mark). The number shows which country has approved the
item, and other letters and numbers indicate the exact version of the regulation.

STATUS OF THE 1998 AGREEMENT

Introduction

The "1998 Agreement" or "Agreement Concerning the Establishing of Global Technical Regu-
lations for Wheeled Vehicles, Equipment and Parts which can be Fitted and/or be Used on
Wheeled Vehicles" is a follow-up agreement to the 1958 Agreement.

The 1998 Agreement was made with the goal of increasing road safety, reducing environmen-
tal damage, and providing better anti-theft protection for vehicles and vehicle parts through
globally uniform technical regulations. The countries who signed the agreement have esta-
blished a global UN registry containing the UN GTRs (United Nations Global Technical Regu-
lations). The content of the UN GTRs are standardized performance requirements as well as
standardized test procedures.

Each individual GTR is described in detail not only with the technical rationale, but also with
sources used for research, cost/benefit considerations, and references to the data used. Par-
ticipating states use their own national legislative process to implement the GTRs into natio-
nal law.

Introduction

– The main aim of the EU while signing free trade agreements (FTAs) with regard to vehicles
and their parts is to reduce tariffs and to remove the technical barriers to trade in the auto-
motive sector.
– To remove the technical barriers to trade, the contracting parties are encouraged to ac-
cept, as compliant with national regulations, the UNECE regulations, to harmonize their
legislation with UNECE regulations and/or to join the UNECE 1958 Agreement.
– Most often, the provisions on automotive sector are contained in annexes on vehicles and
their parts of free trade agreements.
– The annexes normally cover topics such as: acceptance of international standards, appli-
cation of UNECE, consultation procedures, products with new technologies, dispute sett-
lement, working groups on motor vehicles and parts, etc.
– Even though the provisions of FTAs with regard to vehicles and their parts seem similar at
the first sight, provisions very often differ in detail.
– To date, the EU has entered into 46 trade agreements with 78 countries with additional
agreements about to be applied (e.g. Mercosur, Mexico) and numerous agreements (e.g.
Australia, Chile) being renegotiated or modernised. A few of these agreements have speci-
fic regulations on the automotive sector, as described on the following pages.

MAIN PROVISIONS

The specific rules regarding motor vehicles are contained in Annex 4-A of the agreement and largely point to
improving vehicle safety, environmental performance and further harmonization in the framework of the 1998
UNECE Agreement (Art. 1 of Annex 4-A).
Cooperation and harmonization efforts are particularly stressed regarding post-implementation reviews of tech-
nical regulations and standards and the exchange of research linked to advanced emission reduction and elec-
tric vehicle technologies (Art. 2 of Annex 4-A).
