Repetition of tests

9

• (1)

• (a) In any case where an EEC fuel consumption document or an ECE fuel consumption document has not been issued for a class of car, the Secretary of State may require tests of the kind referred to in Article 6(1)(b) to be repeated by, or under arrangements made by, the applicant in respect of any class of car manufactured or imported by him at a place and within a period determined by the Secretary of State in any case where the Secretary of State has reasonable cause to believe that the results of the repeated tests would differ significantly from the results recorded in the official fuel economy certificate.

• (b) Where tests are required to be repeated under paragraph (1) by, or under arrangements made by, the applicant, he shall—

• (3) If the Secretary of State records any repeated test results by amending the official fuel economy certificate for the class of car for which the repeated tests were carried out, the repeated tests shall thereafter be regarded as the officially approved tests for that class of car.

• (4) Where the Secretary of State has recorded any repeated test results by amending an official fuel economy certificate, he shall furnish a copy of the amended certificate to the applicant and cause the results to be published from time to time with other test results he has recorded in official fuel economy certificates.

Notification of change in technical characteristics

10

A manufacturer or, as the case may be, an importer of a class of car to which this Order applies, except a class of car for which an EEC fuel consumption document or an ECE fuel consumption document has been issued, in respect of which an official fuel economy certificate has been issued who intends to make any changes in the technical characteristics of the car may notify the Secretary of State on the form shown in Schedule 4 and the Secretary of State may, if satisfied that the proposed changes in the technical characteristics are such as to make it appropriate to do so, notify the manufacturer that no further test is needed and, in that event, the test results recorded in the official fuel economy certificate for the class of car before the change in technical characteristics shall be regarded as the test results for the class of car after the change in technical characteristics and the Secretary of State shall amend the official fuel economy certificate accordingly.

Fees

11

Where, pursuant to the provisions of Articles 6(2)(a) or 9(1)(b), an officer of the Secretary of State has observed a test (whether carried out in the United Kingdom or outside it), there shall be paid to the Secretary of State on demand by the applicant a sum equal to the cost of travelling and subsistence expenses reasonably incurred by that officer for the purpose of observing the tests.

Explanatory note

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Order revokes and re-enacts with amendments the Passenger Car Fuel Consumption Order 1977. The amendments, apart from drafting changes are as follows—

(1) The requirements for officially approved tests are extended to four wheel drive and diesel engined cars of a class manufactured after 1st June 1984 (Article 4(2)). The appointed day for the purpose of section 15(3) of the Energy Act 1976 for cars of classes which comprise cars of this description is 1st December 1984 (Article 12).

(2) The test procedure contained in Schedule 2 to the 1977 Order is discontinued. In its place (Article 6) provision is made for tests to be carried out under either the procedure contained in ECE Regulation 15 incorporating the 04 series of amendments (“the ECE test procedure”) or the procedure contained in Council Directive 80/1268/EEC (“the EEC test procedure”). In this respect the Order fulfils the obligations arising from the Directive.

(3) Under the ECE test procedure and the EEC test procedure, the constant speed test at 120 km/h becomes mandatory for all vehicles with a design speed of 130km/h or more. Under the 1977 Order, this test was voluntary.

(4) Article 7 provides for the recording of the test results in an official fuel economy certificate. Where a document in the form set out in the ECE Regulation (“an ECE fuel consumption document”) or the EEC directive (“an EEC fuel consumption document”) has already been issued by the competent authority of an appropriate state it is not necessary to submit detailed test results and a form of application is prescribed in Schedule 2, Part I. In other cases, detailed test results must be furnished in the form prescribed in Schedule 2, Part II.

(5) The provisions whereby the Secretary of State may require a test to be repeated apply only where an ECE fuel consumption document or an EEC fuel consumption document has not been previously issued.

(6) Article 8 provides for the method of calculation of fuel consumption.

(7) Article 10 makes provision that, in case where an EEC fuel consumption document or an ECE fuel consumption document has not been issued, the manufacturer or importer may notify the Secretary of State of changes in technical characteristics of a class of car in respect of which an official fuel economy certificate has previously been issued. The Secretary of State may then, if appropriate, notify the manufacturer that a further test is not required. A form of notification is prescribed in Schedule 4.

(8) Article 15 provides that a person who acquires a new car for the purpose of financing its acquisition by a customer from a third person, or who acquires a new car for the purpose of financing its use by means of hiring it is not to be regarded as a person who deals in new cars.

(9) The list of technical characteristics contained in Schedule 1 defining a car's class is amended by:

Copies of the EEC Directives and ECE Regulations (these are regulations prepared by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, annexed to the Agreement of 20th March 1958 as amended (Cmnd 2535 and 3562) relating to conditions for approval for motor vehicle equipment and parts, and accepted from time to time by the Governments which are parties to that Agreement) and which are referred to in this Order can be obtained from Her Majesty's Stationery Office.
