DAILY 4x4 ‒ GUIDELINES FOR BODYBUILDERS
GENERAL INFORMATION
1.4 AUTHORISATION REQUEST
– Printed 692.68.999 – 3 Ed. - Base 08-2020
1.4 AUTHORISATION REQUEST
Authorisation requests, when necessary, must be sent to the responsible IVECO Departments on the market.
The Bodybuilder must provide vehicle data (cab, wheelbase, overhang, chassis No.) and adequate documentation (drawings, cal-
culations, technical report, etc.) showing the realisation, use and operating conditions of the vehicle. The drawings should evidence
everything that differs from these instructions.
Upon completion of the interventions the bodybuilder shall be responsible for attainment of definitive approval from the compet-
ent authority.
1.5 RESPONSIBILITIES
The authorisations issued by IVECO are exclusively related to the technical/conceptual feasibility of the modification and/or fitting.
The bodybuilder is therefore responsible for:
● the design;
● the choice of materials;
● the implementation;
● the compliance of the design and implementation of any specific indications provided by IVECO and the laws in force in the
countries where the vehicle is destined;
● effects on functionality, safety, reliability and, in general, good behaviour of the vehicle;
● components that are installed and/or those already present on the vehicle if they are to be modified and / or replaced;
●
supply of replacement parts for a period of at least 10 years from the last fitting of an order.
1.6 LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS
The bodybuilder must verify that the final product is compliant, without exception, to all applicable legal requirements, on the muni-
cipal/autonomous/national level of each State in which it is registered and/or will circulate (Highway code, Official Regulations, etc.)
and on the international level (European Union Directives, ONU/Geneva ECE Regulations, etc.). It is also necessary to comply with
all requirements for accident prevention, instructions for assistance, the environment, etc.
The regulations on accident prevention or the legal indications cited in these Guidelines may be considered
the most important, but are not meant in any way to replace or eliminate the obligation and responsibility of
the bodybuilder to stay properly informed.
For this reason, IVECO shall not be held liable for any consequences due to errors caused by insufficient knowledge or incorrect
interpretation of the legal provisions in force.
1.7 MULTI STAGE TYPE APPROVAL - COLLABORATION (only for vehicles registered in the
EU, Switzerland and Turkey)
Annex XVII of Directive 2007/46/EC concerns Multi-stage Type Approval.
This procedure requires that each manufacturer is responsible for the approval and compliance of the production of systems, com-
ponents and "separate technical units" produced by the same or applied to the vehicle.
The manufacturer of the vehicle is defined as first-stage manufacturer, while the bodybuilder is defined as Second-stage manufacturer
or that of the next stage.
