COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2010/47/EU
of 5 July 2010
adapting to technical progress Directive 2000/30/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the technical roadside inspection of the roadworthiness of commercial vehicles circulating in the Community
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2000/30/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 June 2000 on the technical roadside inspection of the roadworthiness of commercial vehicles circulating in the Community (1), and in particular the first paragraph of Article 8 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
In the interests of road safety, environmental protection and fair competition it is important to ensure that commercial vehicles in operation are properly maintained and inspected, in order to maintain their safe traffic performance when circulating within the European Union. |
(2) |
Standards and methods laid down in Directive 2000/30/EC should be adapted in accordance with technical progress, resulting in improved technical roadside inspections in the European Union. |
(3) |
With a view to minimising the costs and delays for drivers and operators, inspections should not exceed a reasonable length of time. |
(4) |
To ensure the correlation between test results, defects and the specific characteristics of each vehicle inspected, a more detailed standardised inspection report as referred to in Article 5(1) should be issued. |
(5) |
The technical requirements differ between vehicle categories as defined in the type-approval legislation (2). The inspection report should accordingly be amended to reflect these vehicle categories. |
(6) |
In order to make vehicle identification more reliable, the inspection report should contain, in addition to the vehicle registration number, the vehicle identification number (VIN). |
(7) |
In order to facilitate the recording of identified deficiencies by the inspectors, the inspection report should contain a complete list of items on its reverse side. |
(8) |
In order to further improve roadside technical inspections in light of technical progress, inspection methods should be introduced in relation to each of the items listed in Annex II. |
(9) |
In addition to the items related to safety, security and environmental protection, the inspection also needs to cover identification of the vehicle in order to ensure that the correct inspections and standards are applied, to enable the results of the inspection to be recorded and to enable enforcement of other legal requirements. |
(10) |
The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the committee on the adaptation to technical progress of the Directive on roadworthiness tests for motor vehicles and their trailers instituted by Article 7 of Directive 2009/40/EC, |

Annex II is replaced by the following: ‘ANNEX II TABLE OF CONTENTS
1. INTRODUCTION This Annex lays down the rules for testing and/or checking braking systems and exhaust emissions during a technical roadside inspection. The use of equipment is not mandatory during roadside inspections. However, it will enhance the quality of inspections and, where possible, it is recommended. Items that may only be checked by the use of equipment have been marked with an (E). Where a method of inspection is given as visual, it means that in addition to looking at the items, the inspector should, if appropriate, also handle them, evaluate noise or use any other appropriate means of inspection without the use of equipment. 2. INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS Roadside technical inspections may cover items and use the methods listed below. Deficiencies are examples of defects that can be detected.
|
(1) 48 % for vehicles not fitted with ABS or type approved before 1 October 1991.
(2) 45 % for vehicles registered after 1988 or from the date specified in requirements () whichever is the later.
(3) 43 % for semi-trailers and draw-bar trailers registered after 1988 or from the date in requirements () whichever is the later.
(4) 2,2 m/s2 for N1, N2 and N3 vehicles.
(5) Type-approved according to limits in row A or B section 5.3.1.4 of Annex I to Directive 70/220/EEC as amended by Directive 98/69/EC or later or first registered or put into service after 1 July 2002.
(6) Type-approved according to limits in row B section 5.3.1.4 of Annex I to Directive 70/220/EEC as amended by Directive 98/69/EC or later; row B1, B2 or C section 6.2.1 of Annex I to Directive 88/77/EEC as amended by Directive 1999/96/EC or later or first registered or put into service after 1 July 2008
(7) “Requirements” are laid down by type-approval requirements at the date of first registration or first entry into service as well as retrofitting obligations or national legislation of the country of registration.’
