5. Draft Order amending Royal Decree 2028/1986 laying down rules for the application of certain EEC Directives relating to the type approval of motor vehicles, trailers, semi-trailers, motorcycles and agricultural vehicles, parts and components
6. The products concerned are motor vehicles, their trailers, self-propelled or towed machinery, and agricultural vehicles; all before they are put into service, and the parts and components of those vehicles.
7.
8. The proposed Order consists of a descriptive part, four articles, two transitional provisions, a final provision, and three annexes. The preamble addresses the amendments contained in the Order.
Article 1 provides for the replacement of Annex I to Royal Decree 2028/1986 of 6 June 1986 with Annex I to this Order.
Article 2 includes amendments to the General Vehicle Regulation, adopted by Royal Decree 2822/1998 of 23 December 1998, in order to consider new forms of urban mobility, establishing a classification and differentiated licence plates for low-power category L1e-B vehicles with a maximum speed of up to 25 km/h, in line with other measures for the general extension of calm traffic on urban roads. Article 2 also includes amendments concerning the use of winter tyres. These adaptations are in line with technical developments regarding tyre grip and are reflected in the latest amendments to UN Regulation No 117, concerning grip properties in extreme snow conditions, where regulated tests are envisaged to ensure a minimum level of performance.
In line with the amendment to Royal Decree 2028/1986 of 6 June 1986, Article 3 of this Order also updates Appendix 5 to Annexes III and IV, and Annexes XI and XII to Royal Decree 750/2010 of 4 June 2010 regulating the approval procedures of motor vehicles and their trailers, self-propelled or towed machinery, agricultural vehicles, as well as systems, parts and components of such vehicles. Appendix 5 to Annex III to Royal Decree 750/2010 of 4 June 2010 contains the list of requirements for the approval of vehicles in the National Small Series and Individual Approval of vehicles in categories M, N, and is replaced with Annex II to this Order. Similarly, Appendix 5 to Annex IV to Royal Decree 750/2010 of 4 June 2010 does the same for category O vehicles, and is replaced with Annex III to this Order.
Article 3(3) and (4) of this Order include the amendment of the mandatory nature of the electronic roadworthiness test card (eITV cads) for cards of type A, Al, C, CL, D, and DL, in vehicles of categories M, N, and L, as well as the elimination of the requirement for duplicate submission to the Ministry of Industry and Tourism of electronic roadworthiness test cards for vehicles to be registered in Spain, since economic operators are already communicating with an administrative register, namely one of the Directorate General for Traffic.
Article 4 includes amendments to Royal Decree 920/2017 of 23 October 2017, which regulates the technical inspection of vehicles, to adapt the training requirements of inspectors to the current training reality, and to alleviate the problems of hiring inspectors reported by operators and various autonomous communities.
The first and second transitional provisions establish temporary arrangements for adapting the new requirements for national small series approval and individual approval, as well as for the replacement of registration plates on light mopeds or microcycles.
The single final provision indicates the entry into force of the Order.
Annex I lists the functions subject to approval and the European standards according to which manufacturers or representatives must apply for approval of their products, qualifications concerning new types to be approved and new registrations, and exemptions from some of the technical requirements provided for in those functions. Finally, Annexes II and III contain the relevant amendments to Appendix 5 of Annex III and Appendix 5 of Annex IV, respectively, of Royal Decree 750/2010 of 4 June 2010. These are the ones that contain the list of requirements for the approval of vehicles in National Small Series and Individual Approval of vehicles of categories M, N, the first of them, and O, the last.
9. Annex I to Royal Decree 2028/1986 of 6 June 1986 contains all the regulatory acts and requirements that must be complied with in order to obtain national type-approval for motor vehicles, trailers, semi-trailers, motorcycles, mopeds and agricultural vehicles, as well as for the parts and components of those vehicles.
These are necessary to ensure the safety of vehicles, other road users, and the protection of the environment. In addition, in order to maintain uniformity in national and Union regulations on the matter, Appendix 5 to Annexes III and IV, and Annex XI to Royal Decree 750/2010 of 4 June 2010 regulating the approval procedures of motor vehicles and their trailers, self-propelled or towed machinery, agricultural vehicles, as well as systems, parts and components of such vehicles, should also be updated. These contain the list of requirements for the approval of vehicles in National Short Small and National Individual Approval of vehicles of categories M, N and O, respectively.
With the Order, progress is made in the digitalisation of the procedures with the extension of the roadworthiness test card in electronic format to new vehicle types and new stakeholders (eITV card type A, C, and D)
The amendment to Royal Decree 920/2017, on roadworthiness testing, updates Annex VI, regarding the training requirements for persons carrying out the line inspection, given that the title of Technician in electromechanics of vehicles provides those who study it with sufficient knowledge for conducting the inspection.
The amendments to Annexes II, VII and XVIII to the General Vehicle Regulation adapt this text in order to prepare it for zero-emission mobility solutions that are more respectful of vulnerable road users, who constitute a significant share of road-accident victims, especially in urban environments. Likewise, the amendments regarding the requirements for tyres (winter driving conditions, and tread depth) adapt the national regulations to the latest regulatory advances in neighbouring countries and in international vehicle regulation forums (UNECE/ITC_wp.29).
