A specific contract, known as a ”Technical Agreement” must be drawn up on the basis of t his Directive between IVECO
(Manufacturer of the base vehicle) and a Bodybuilder who intends to apply for Multi Stage Type Approval; this details the contents
and reciprocal obligations.
Consequently:
a) IVECO has the responsibility to make available, in agreed form, type-approval documentat ion (EC/ECE type approval) and
technical information necessary for correct realisation of the outfitting and/or conversion of the vehicle (manuals, drawings,
specifications);
b) the Bodybuilder has t h e following responsibilities:
• design and realisation of modifications on the base vehicle received from IVECO,
• re-attainment of type approval for systems previously approved when such type approvals must be updated due to modifica-
tions made to the base vehicle,
• en suring all national/international laws and regulation s are complied with for all modifications performed, in particular as
regards the country which the vehicle is destined for,
• presenting the modifications made to a technical service for evaluation,
• appropriate docu ment ation of modifications made, giving c lear evidence that the aforementioned laws and regulations have
been respected (e.g. type-approval/testing documentation).
Before signing the Technical Agreement, IVECO reserves the right to visit the Bodybuilder in order to ensure they are qualified to
perform the outfitting/conversion requested by the agreement.
The contents of the Technical Agreement can be evaluated in detail upon request to the person responsible for relations with
Bodybuilders in the relevant market.
