• The Motor Vehicle (Type Approval) Regulations 1973 which establish a system for granting vehicle type approval to standards laid down in EEC directives come into operation on a voluntary basis on August 10. Although no date has yet been fixed it is expected that the scheme will become compulsory.
At the moment the scheme will affect only vehicle and component manufacturers by providing a service to those who wish to export to other EEC countries.
Once a model has been type approved, however, a certificate of conformity will be issued by the manufacturer with each vehicle sold and the vehicle will then have to conform to type.
