Article 37

1. When assessing damage to a vehicle involved in an accident, the insurance company or any other automotive expert carrying out the assessment on its behalf shall also assess whether the vehicle is an end-of-life vehicle in accordance with Annex I. 2. The competent authorities may require a vehicle owner, where there is doubt that a used vehicle is an end-of-life vehicle, to present documentation that the vehicle concerned is not an end-of-life vehicle. That documentation shall consist of an assessment in accordance with Annex I or a valid roadworthiness certificate. 3. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts, in accordance with Article 51 of this Regulation, to amend this Regulation by removing the criteria listed in Annex I to determine whether a used vehicle is an end-of-life vehicle, provided that technological progress in the area of traceability, repairability and safety justifies limiting the instances where the vehicle shall be considered an end-of-life vehicle.
