- Extraterritorial reach
- Yes
Any vehicle sold in the EU needs type-approval; non-EU makers appoint an EU representative.
- Examples
- Chinese EV brand exporting to EU
- Brake pad supplier to EU OEM
What the law requires
- Meet exhaust limits over vehicle lifetime
- Meet brake particle and tyre abrasion limits
- Ensure car battery durability: 80% at 5 yrs/100,000 km, 72% at 8 yrs/160,000 km
- Provide on-board monitoring and environmental vehicle passport
Penalties
Set by Member States; refusal or withdrawal of type-approval and market withdrawal of non-compliant vehicles.
What this changes for a supplier in China
Chinese EV and battery exporters must prove battery durability and brake/tyre emission performance; parts suppliers get test data requests from EU OEMs.
Expected evidence
- Battery state-of-health test data
- Brake particle emission test report
- Type-approval documentation
