What is EU individual vehicle approval?
EU individual vehicle approval means the procedure whereby an EU member state certifies that a new, unregistered vehicle complies with the Regulation of the Ministry of Infrastructure on the individual vehicle approval (Polish journal of Laws of 2023, item 1715) and Regulation (EU) 2018/858. The EU individual vehicle approval refers to vehicles of cat. M1 and N1, as well as special purpose vehicles of cat. M2, M3, N2, N3 and O (in accordance with Annex II Part II of Regulation (EU) 2018/858), which have not obtained an EC/EU type-approval certificate, or which, prior to registration, have undergone significant design changes that invalidate the previously obtained approval certificate.
The authority issuing the decision on EU individual vehicle approval, based on tests carried out by BOSMAL Automotive Research and Development Institute as a technical service, is the Transport Technical Supervision in Poland.
Specification of the full scope of tests required for EU individual vehicle approval and definition of the necessary documents, requires individual agreement with the customer, therefore, the scope of works and scope of documentation to be provided is specified on the individual basis.
