Scope This Regulation establishes technical requirements for the type approval of motor vehicles.

9 In addition, this Regulation lays down rules for in-service conformity, durability of pollution control devices and On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) systems. This Regulation shall apply to vehicles of categories M1, M2, N1 and N2 with a reference mass not exceeding 2,610 At the manufacturer's request, type approval granted under this Regulation may be extended from vehicles mentioned above to M1, M2, N1 and N2 vehicles with a reference mass not exceeding 2,840 kg and which meet the conditions laid down in this Regulation.

10 2. Definitions For the purposes of this Regulation the following definitions shall apply: "Vehicle type" means a group of vehicles that do not differ in the following respects: The equivalent inertia determined in relation to the reference mass as prescribed in Table A4a/3 of Annex 4a to this Regulation; and The engine and vehicle characteristics as defined in Annex 1 to this Regulation. "Reference mass" means the unladen mass of the vehicle increased by a uniform figure of 100 kg for test according to Annexes 4a and 8 to this Regulation.
