The moment that the engine to be replaced was placed on the market.
5 By way of derogation from the first paragraph, a type-approval shall be granted for a replacement engine for an engine train body or a locomotive which does not meet the limit values if:
a. in any case:
1 °. the swap engine complies with the phase IIIA-norm;
2 °. the replacement engine shall replace an engine for an engine train set or a locomotive that does not meet the stage III A standard, or meets the stage III A standard, but does not comply with the stage III B standard; and
3 °. the use of a swap engine that meets the requirements of the most recent applicable emission phase in the engine train setting or the locomotive will be associated with significant technical difficulties; or
b. in any case:
1 °. the replacement engine shall be used to replace an engine for an engine train without a control which is not capable of moving on its own, and

(d) transmit the approval authority in accordance with Article 6, third and fourth paragraph, of Directive 97/68 a list of the full range of identification numbers for each engine type, intended for mounting in a mobile machine or mounted in a mobile machine;
e. designating within the organisation a person responsible for the provisions of parts (a) to (d).
1 The supervision shall be carried out by a staff member designated by the approval authority and shall be established in an establishment to be established by agreement with the manufacturer.
2 In the establishment, referred to in paragraph 1, a covered and well-lit space shall be provided with a heating system.
3 The area referred to in paragraph 2 shall be of such dimensions and shall be so arranged that the engines subject to supervision in such space can be drawn up in such a way that they are easily accessible from all sides.
