ANNEX VII

1.1. This Annex lays down the list of the regulatory acts for which an in-house technical service of a manufacturer may be designated as a technical service in accordance with Article 72(1). 1.2. It also includes appropriate provisions concerning the designation of an in-house technical service of a manufacturer as technical service, to be applied in the framework of the type-approval of vehicles, components and separate technical units concerned by Part I of Annex II. 1.3. This Annex however does not apply to manufacturers who apply for the EU type-approval of vehicles produced in small series, as referred to in Article 41. 2.1. An in-house technical service of a manufacturer designated as a technical service is a manufacturer which has been designated by the type-approval authority as a testing laboratory to carry out on its behalf the approval tests. The expression ‘to carry out tests’ is not restricted to the measurement of performances, but also covers the registration of test results and the submission to the type-approval authority of a report, including the relevant conclusions. It also covers the checking of compliance with those provisions that do not necessarily require measurement. This is the case for the assessment whether the design complies with the legislative requirements. | Subject | Regulatory act reference 4A | Space for mounting and fixing rear registration plates | Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 Regulation (EU) No 1003/2010 7A | Audible warning devices and signals | Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 UN Regulation No 28 10A | Electromagnetic compatibility | Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 UN Regulation No 10 18A | Manufacturer's statutory plate and VIN | Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 Regulation (EU) No 19/2011 20A | Installation of lighting and light-signalling devices on vehicles | Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 UN Regulation No 48 27A | Towing device | Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 Regulation (EU) No 1005/2010 33A | Location and identification of hand controls, tell-tales and indicators | Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 UN Regulation No 121 34A | Windscreen defrosting and demisting systems | Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 Regulation (EU) No 672/2010 35A | Windscreen wiper and washer systems | Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 Regulation (EU) No 1008/2010 36A | Heating systems | Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 UN Regulation No 122 Except the provisions in Annex 8 relating to LPG combustion heaters and LPG heating systems 37A | Wheel guards | Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 Regulation (EU) No 1009/2010 44A | Masses and dimensions | Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 Regulation (EU) No 1230/2012 45A | Safety glazing materials and their installation on vehicles | Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 UN Regulation No 43 Restricted to the provisions included in Annex 21 46A | Installation of tyres | Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 Regulation (EU) No 458/2011 48A | Masses and dimensions | Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 Regulation (EU) No 1230/2012 49A | Commercial vehicles with regard to their external projections forward of the cab's rear panel | Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 UN Regulation No 61 50A | Mechanical coupling components of combinations of vehicles | Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 UN Regulation No 55 Restricted to the provisions included in Annex 5 (up to and including paragraph 8) and Annex 7 61 | Air-conditioning system | Directive 2006/40/EC
