What EU Vehicle Type Approval Regulation 2018/858 -- Whole Vehicle Type Approval and Market Surveillance requires
Regulation (EU) 2018/858 establishes the EU framework for whole vehicle type approval (WVTA), individual vehicle approval (IVA), and market surveillance of motor vehicles, trailers, and their systems and components. It replaced Framework Directive 2007/46/EC and directly applies across all EU Member States. Type approval is granted by a national approval authority (NSA) and recognised across the EU via the EC type approval certificate. Manufacturers must demonstrate conformity of production (CoP) through ongoing quality audits. National market surveillance authorities have mandatory recall powers under Article 54 if a vehicle poses a serious risk. EU-wide recall orders may be issued by the Commission under Article 54(4). Third-country vehicles must comply with equivalent standards or obtain EU type approval before sale in the EU. UNECE World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) regulations are incorporated by reference through the UNECE 1958 Agreement. The regulation covers M-category passenger cars, N-category trucks/vans, L-category motorcycles/mopeds, O-category trailers, and T-category agricultural tractors.
