FOR
DATA
INPUT
AND
CONSULTATION
5.1. General
principles
Every national safety authority shall submit information related to the authorisations of types of vehicle it has
granted.
ERATV shall include a web based tool for exchange of information between the national safety authorities and the
Agency. This tool shall allow the following exchanges of information:
(1) submission of data for the register by a national safety authority to the Agency including:
(a) data related to granting an authorisation for a new type of vehicle (in this case the national safety authority
shall provide the full set of data as set out in Annex II);
(b) data related to granting an authorisation for a type of vehicle previously registered in ERATV (in this case
the national safety authority shall only provide data related to the authorisation itself, i.e. fields in Section 3
of the list set out in Annex II);
(c) data related to modification of an existing authorisation (in this case the national safety authority shall only
provide data related to the fields that need to be modified; this may not include modification of data
related to the characteristics of the vehicle);
(d) data related to suspension of an existing authorisation (in this case the national safety authority shall only
provide the date of suspension);
(e) data related to reactivation of an existing authorisation (in this case the national safety authority shall only
provide data related to the fields that need to be modified), distinguishing between
— reactivation without modification of data,
— reactivation with modification of data (these data may not be related to the characteristics of the
vehicle).
(f) data related to withdrawal of an authorisation;
(g) data related to correction of an error.
(2) sending of requests for data clarification and/or correction by the Agency to a national safety authority;
(3) sending of answers by a national safety authority to the requests of clarification and/or correction done by the
Agency.
The national safety authority shall submit the data for updating the register electronically by means of a web based
application and using the standard web based electronic form with the relevant fields filled in as set out in
Annex II.
The Agency shall check the data submitted by the national safety authority regarding their compliance with this
specification, and either validate them or request a clarification.
If the Agency considers that the data submitted by the national safety authority are not in compliance with this
specification, the Agency shall send the national safety authority a request for correction or clarification of the
submitted data.
Upon each update of data regarding a type of vehicle the system shall generate a confirmation message, which
shall be sent by e-mail to the users of the national safety authority that submitted the data, to the national safety
authority of all other Member States where the type is authorised and to the Agency.
5.2. Submission
of
data
by
national
safety
authority
5.2.1. Granting an authorisation to a new type of vehicle
The national safety authority shall inform the Agency of any authorisation of a new type of vehicle within 20
working days following the issue of the authorisation.

The Agency shall check the information submitted by the national safety authority and within 20 working days
following the receipt of this information either validate it and assign a type of vehicle number as set out in Annex
III or request its correction or clarification. In particular, in order to prevent an unintended duplication of types in
ERATV, the Agency shall check, as far as the data available in ERATV allows, that this type has not been registered
before by another Member State.
After validation of the information submitted by the national safety authority, the Agency shall assign the new
type of vehicle its number. The rules for assigning the type of vehicle number are set out in Annex III.
5.2.2. Granting an authorisation to a type of vehicle previously registered in ERATV
The national safety authority shall inform the Agency of any authorisation of a type of vehicle already registered in
ERATV (such as a type authorised by another Member State) within 20 working days following the issue of the
authorisation.
The Agency shall check the information submitted by the national safety authority and, within 10 working days
following the receipt of this information, shall either validate it or request its correction or clarification.
After validation of the information submitted by the national safety authority, the Agency shall complement the
data related to this type of vehicle by the data related to the authorisation in the Member State of the national
safety authority that granted this authorisation.
5.2.3. Modification on an existing authorisation
The national safety authority shall inform the Agency of any modification to an existing authorisation for a type of
vehicle within 20 working days following the issue of the modification to the authorisation.
The Agency shall check the information submitted by the national safety authority and, within 10 working days
following the receipt of this information, shall either validate it or request its correction or clarification. In
particular, the Agency shall check that the requested changes actually consist of a modification of an authorisation
of an existing type (e.g. amendment of conditions of the authorisation, amendments of the type examination
certificate) and do not constitute a new type of vehicle.
After validation of the information submitted by the national safety authority, the Agency shall publish the
information.
5.2.4. Suspension
The national safety authority shall inform the Agency of any suspension of an existing authorisation for a type of
vehicle within 5 working days following the issue of the suspension of the authorisation.
The Agency shall check the information submitted by the national safety authority and, within 5 working days
following the receipt of this information, shall either validate it or request its correction or clarification.
5.2.5. Reactivation without modification
The national safety authority shall inform the Agency of a reactivation of an authorisation for a type of vehicle
previously suspended within 20 working days following the issue of the reactivation of the authorisation. The
national safety authority shall confirm that the original authorisation is reactivated without any modifications.
The Agency shall check the information submitted by the national safety authority and, within 10 working days
following the receipt of this information, shall either validate it or request its correction or clarification.
5.2.6. Reactivation with modification
The national safety authority shall inform the Agency of a reactivation of an authorisation for a type of vehicle
previously suspended within 20 working days following the issue of the reactivation of the authorisation. The
national safety authority shall indicate that the reactivation is accompanied by a modification of the original
authorisation. The national safety authority shall submit information regarding this modification.
The process indicated in clause 5.2.3 above for modification of an authorisation shall apply.
5.2.7. Withdrawal
The national safety authority shall inform the Agency of any withdrawal of an existing authorisation for a type of
vehicle within 5 working days following the withdrawal of the authorisation.
The Agency shall check the information submitted by the national safety authority and, within 5 working days
following the receipt of this information, shall either validate it or request its correction or clarification.

In the cases where an authorisation has a validity term, the IT system shall automatically change the status of the
authorisation to ‘expired’ according to the validity term indicated by the relevant national safety authority.
5.2.8. Modification of an authorisation which may lead to a modification of a registered type of vehicle
Before requesting a modification of an authorisation which may lead to a modification of a registered type of
vehicle, the national safety authority shall coordinate with national safety authorities who have granted auth
orisation for this registered type, and in particular the authority who has registered the type in ERATV.

shall indicate the date of correction.
5.6. Possible
searches
and
reports
ERATV shall allow the following reports:
(1) For a national safety authority and the Agency:
— information as indicated in Annex II submitted by any national safety authority and not validated by the
Agency for any type of vehicle for which the authorisation is active, suspended or withdrawn (including
expired authorisations) as far as this information is kept in historical records,
— any of the reports available to public.
(2) For the public:
— information as indicated in Annex II submitted by any national safety authority and validated by the
Agency for any type of vehicle for which the authorisation is active, suspended or withdrawn (including
expired authorisations) as far as this information is kept in historical records.
ERATV shall allow the public to perform searches at least by the following criteria and any combination of them:
— by type code,
— by type name or part of it,
— by manufacturer’s name or part of it,
— by vehicle category/subcategory,

Field 2 (digits from 3 to 5) is assigned according to the family to which the type of vehicle belongs. For new families (i.e.
families not yet registered in ERATV) digits are progressively incremented by one unit each time an application for
registration of a vehicle type belonging to a new family is received by the Agency.
Field 3 (digits from 6 to 9) is a progressive number incremented by one unit each time an application for registration of a
vehicle type belonging to a given family is received by the Agency.
Field 4 (digit 10) is a check digit determined in the following manner (Luhn algorithm or modulus 10):
— the digits in the even positions of the basic number (fields from 1 to 9 counting from the right) are taken at their
own decimal value,
— the digits in the odd positions of the basic number (counting from the right) are multiplied by 2,
— the sum formed by the digits in even position and by all the digits which constitute the partial products obtained
from the odd positions is then established,
— the units digit of this sum is retained,
— the complement required to bring the units digit to 10 forms the check-digit; should this units digit be nought, then
the check-digit will also be nought.
Examples of determining the check digit:
1 — Let the basic number be

Sum: 6 + 3 + 1 + 6 + 4 + 8 + 7 + 1 + 8 + 6 + 2 = 52
The units digit of this sum is 2.
The check-digit number will therefore be 8 and the basic number thus becomes the registration number
33 844 7961 — 8.

Sum: 6 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 6 + 3 + 4 + 0 + 8 = 30
The units digit of this sum is 0.
The check-digit number will therefore be 0 and the basic number thus becomes the registration number
31 513 3204 — 0.
If the type examination certificate or design examination certificate covers more than one version of the vehicle type, each
of these versions shall be identified by an incremental three-digit number.
