Article 11

1. From 1 September 2029, manufacturers shall, for new vehicle types that have been type-approved, provide waste management operators, publishers of technical information and repair and maintenance operators unrestricted, standardised and non-discriminatory access to the information listed in Annex VI, enabling access to, and safe removal and replacement of, the following, unless that information is available under other Union legislation: electric vehicle batteries and their battery packs incorporated in the vehicle; parts, components and materials which contain the fluids and liquids listed in Part B of Annex VIII and which are contained in vehicles; parts and components listed in Part C of Annex VIII contained in vehicles; parts and components which contain the critical raw materials as referred to in Article 28(1), point (b), of Regulation (EU) 2024/1252 at the time of the type-approval of the vehicle; digitally coded components and parts in a vehicle, where such coding prevents their repair, maintenance or replacement in another vehicle. Point (e) of the first subparagraph shall not apply to information to be provided to publishers of technical information. 2. Manufacturers shall make rescue and emergency response guidance information available to emergency services. 3. Manufacturers shall ensure cooperation with the authorised treatment facilities, publishers of technical information, retrofit operators, and repair and maintenance operators by establishing necessary communication platforms to provide and keep up-to-date the information referred to in paragraph 1 and the information specified in Annex VI. The manufacturers shall provide the information referred to in the first subparagraph free of charge. The manufacturers may collect reasonable and proportionate charges from waste management operators, publishers of technical information and repair and maintenance operators to the extent necessary to cover the actual administrative costs incurred for making the required information accessible through communication platforms. 4. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 51 to amend Annex VI by revising the list of parts, components and materials of vehicles and the scope of information to be provided by the manufacturers. The Commission shall take into account technical and regulatory developments, current information technology and foreseeable vehicle technology developments.
