Components, parts and materials listed in Part C of Annex VIII: original equipment number; location; technical instructions on removal and replacement, including the sequence of all steps; information, specifications, tools and processes, including software updates, required for remanufacturing and refurbishment. 5. Digitally coded components and parts in a vehicle: number; location; technical instructions on access, removal and replacement of components, including coding and software necessary to activate spare parts and components to function in another vehicle, and process information concerning their deregistering and decoupling from a VIN including, where relevant, instruction on how to use a diagnostic tool with a view to their future reuse; description on functionality, interchangeability and compatibility with specific parts and components of other makes and models; contact point of the manufacturer for technical assistance. 6. For the purposes of point 5(c), where deregistering and decoupling from a VIN of digitally coded components, equipment and parts referred to in Article 11 of this Regulation is required, the manufacturer shall put in place processes to allow waste management operators and repair and maintenance operators to perform such deregistering and decoupling. In that process, the manufacturer may require a certificate of destruction, as well as an authentication of the respective operator. For that purpose, waste management operators and repair and maintenance operators shall obtain and use the authentication credentials required for the manufacturer RMI website referred to in point 2.1 of Annex X to Regulation (EU) 2018/858. Where access to the vehicle on-board diagnostic (OBD) information by waste management operators and repair and maintenance operators is required for such deregistering and decoupling processes, the manufacturer may, as a condition for issuing any access credentials: require a continuous online connection, at the time of performing the removal, from the diagnostic tool to the diagnostic tool manufacturer’s server as well as from the diagnostic tool manufacturer’s server to the manufacturer’s server; and require the manufacturer of the tool used to access the OBD information to attest to the manufacturer the identity of the diagnostic tool and the pseudonymised identity of the operator and to collect and store the VIN, the unique identifier of the part, where available and supported by the vehicle manufacturer process, the UTC date and time stamp for the relevant activity and the unique diagnostic tool identifier; the manufacturer shall obtain, on request, from the manufacturer of the diagnostic tool access to the information referred to in this point where this is necessary to react to a reasonable suspicion of parts theft or misuse.
