Upon request and under the sole responsibility of the holder of the vehicle type authorisation, the Agency can publish new versions in ERATV compiling existing versions of a vehicle type or of a variant of a vehicle type, when these versions were published by the Agency.
This is necessary for applying for the authorisation of vehicles in conformity to an already authorized type when the target area of use (in case of versions authorized following an extension of the area of use) or the design (in case of versions published in ERATV following changes classified pursuant to Article 15(1)(c) of Regulation (EU) 2018/545 or addition of ESCs/RSCs), while covered by several ERATV entries, is not matching any entry in ERATV for the existing versions.
The result of the compilation will be a new entry in ERATV. The type ID will be assigned as if it was a new version of the parent type/variant. This new version will compile the values for the different parameters (including coded and non-coded restrictions) of the existing entries in ERATV corresponding to the versions that will be compiled. In the comments section, it will describe both the parent type/variant and the different versions compiled (including their type IDs).
The compilation of versions is not an authorisation, but a service output that consolidates into a new ERATV record the information from existing records in ERATV.
Further details can be found in the clarification note ERA1209/132, available at the website of the Agency.
In order to request the creation of a compiled version, the holder of the vehicle type authorisations of all versions to be compiled needs to submit to the Agency a request for the creation of a draft type in ERATV using this template (TEM_VEA_092) and send it by email to servicedesk@era.europa.eu with subject “Request for the compilation of existing versions”.
When the draft type for the compiled version is ready in ERATV and you have been granted access to it as an auxiliary user, you will be informed by email. You can then provide the technical details (steps 2 and 3) for the compiled version directly in ERATV, and inform the Agency, that will review the data, fill-in step 4 and publish the entry for the compiled version in ERATV.
More information about ERATV can be found here.
Please note that:
- The request shall be submitted by the holder of the vehicle type authorisation of the different versions to be compiled
- The Agency can only perform the compilation for versions created and submitted for publication by the Agency
- Compilation of versions with transitions between neighbouring MSs which were not covered by the existing authorisations is not possible; the cross-border operations in terms of transitions between neighbouring MSs shall be limited to those already covered by the existing authorisations;
