ANNEX I
CRITERIA FOR DETERMINATION WHETHER A USED VEHICLE IS AN END-
OF-LIFE VEHICLE
PART A
CRITERIA FOR ASSESSMENT OF REPARABILITY OF VEHICLES
1. A vehicle is technically irreparable if it meets one or more of the following criteria:
(a) it has been cut into pieces or stripped;
(b) it has been welded up or closed by insulating foam;
(c) it has been completely burnt to the point where the engine compartment or
passenger compartment is destroyed;
(d) it has been been submerged in water to a level above the dashboard;
(e) one or several of the following components of the vehicle cannot be repaired or
replaced:
(i) ground coupling components (such as tyres and wheels), suspension,
steering, braking, and their control components;
(ii) seat fixings and joints;
(iii) airbags, pre-tensioners, safety belts, and their peripheral operating
components;
(iv) the vehicle's hull and chassis;
(f) its structural and safety components have technical defects that are irreversible
and turn them non-replaceable, such as metal aging, multiple breaks in primers,
or excessive perforating corrosion;
(g) its repair requires the replacement of the engine, gearbox, shell, or chassis
assembly, resulting in the loss of the vehicle's original identity.
2. The vehicle is economically irreparable if its market value is lower than the cost of
the necessary repairs needed to restore it in the Union to a technical condition that
would be sufficient to obtain a roadworthiness certificate in the Member State where
the vehicle was registered before repair.
3. A vehicle may be considered technically irreparable when:
(a) it has been submerged in water to a level below the dashboard, and damaged
the engine or electrical system;
(b) its doors are not attached to it;
(c) its fuel or fuel vapours are discharged posing a risk of fire and explosion;
(d) gas has leaked from its liquid gas system posing a risk of fire and explosion;
(e) its operating liquids (fuel, brake fluid, anti-freeze liquid, battery acid, coolant
liquid) have been discharged posing a risk of water pollution; or
(f) its brakes and steering components are excessively worn.
EN 2 EN
If one of those conditions is met, an individual technical assessment shall be carried
out in order to assess if the technical status of a vehicle would be sufficient to obtain
a roadworthiness certificate in the Member State where the vehicle was registered
before repair.
PART B
INDICATIVE LIST OF CRITERIA FOR END-OF-LIFE VEHICLES
The following criteria may also be used as additional justification to determine if a used
vehicle is an end-of-life vehicle:
(a) absence of means allowing to identify a vehicle, in particular the Vehicle
Identification Number;
(b) its owner is unknown;
(c) it has not had its required national technical roadworthiness test for more than two
years from the date when this was last required;
(d) it is not appropriately protected against damage during storage, transportation,
loading and unloading; or
(e) it was handed over for treatment to an authorised collection point or an authorised
waste treatment facility.
EN 3 EN
ANNEX II
CALCULATION OF THE RATES OF REUSABILITY, RECYCLABILITY AND
RECOVERABILITY
For the purposes of this Annex, ‘reference vehicle’ means the version within a vehicle type,
which is identified by the approval authority, in consultation with the manufacturer and in
accordance with the criteria laid down in Annex II Part A, as being the most problematic in
terms of reusability, recyclability and recoverability.
PART A
1. The materials present in the vehicle and their respective shares and locations shall be
specified, together with any relevant information necessary to correctly calculate the
rates of recyclability and recoverability.
2. Masses shall be expressed in kg with one decimal place. The rates shall be calculated
in percent with one decimal place, then rounded as follows:
(a) if the figure following the decimal point is between 0 and 4, the total is
rounded down;
(b) if the figure following the decimal point is between 5 and 9, the total is
rounded up.
3. For the purposes of the selection of the reference vehicles, account shall be taken of
the following criteria:
(a) the type of bodywork;
(b) the available trim levels;
(c) the available optional equipment which can be fitted under the manufacturer's
responsibility.
4. Should the type-approval authority and the manufacturer fail jointly to identify the
most problematic version within a type of vehicle, in terms of reusability,
recyclability and recoverability, one reference vehicle shall be selected, within:
(a) each ‘type of bodywork’, as defined in point 2 of part C of Annex I to
Regulation (EU) 2018/858 in the case of M1 vehicles;
(b) each ‘type of bodywork’, i.e., van, chassis-cab, pick-up, etc., in the case of N1
vehicles.
5. For the purposes of checks of the materials and masses of component parts, the
manufacturer shall make available vehicles and component parts as deemed
necessary by the type-approval authority.
EN 4 EN
PART B
1. In order to be counted as reusable, components or parts shall be removable in a
readily and non-destructive manner.
2. The total mass of reusable parts, components and materials shall be considered as
100 % reusable, recyclable and recoverable.
3. Parts and components listed in Part B, points 1 and 2, of Annex VII shall be
considered as 0 % reusable and 100 % recyclable and recoverable. Parts and
components listed in Part E of Annex VII shall be considered as 0 % reusable and
100 % recyclable and recoverable. The methodology shall ensure, that in case of
amending Annex VII results in the extending the list of parts and components listed
in Part E of that Annex, these newly added parts and components shall be considered
as 0 % reusable and 100 % recyclable and recoverable.
4. The calculation of the rates of reusability, recyclability and recoverability shall be
coherent with the circularity strategy, reflecting technological progress in end-of-life
treatment technologies.
