COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/1213

of 12 July 2019

laying down detailed provisions ensuring uniform conditions for the implementation of interoperability and compatibility of on-board weighing equipment pursuant to Council Directive 96/53/EC

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Directive 96/53/EC of 25 July 1996 (1), and in particular Article 10d(5) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) On-board weighing equipment is an option provided for the Member States by Directive 96/53/EC for carrying out the control of vehicles or vehicle combinations which may be overloaded.

(2) In line with the second paragraph of Article 10d(5) of Directive 96/53/EC, in order to ensure interoperability, the on-board weighing equipment has to be able to transmit weight data at any time from a moving vehicle to the competent authorities and to the driver through an interface defined by CEN DSRC standards. Technical specifications adapting the content of the standards to the specificities of the information to be provided by on-board weighing equipment should therefore be adopted.

(3) On-board weighing equipment may be fitted in motor vehicles as well as in trailers and semi-trailers. It is necessary to guarantee that on-board weighing equipment fitted in different vehicles of a vehicle combination is mutually compatible. Compatibility should be ensured by the implementation of European standards on C-ITS as referred to in the delegated act supplementing Directive 2010/40/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) with regard to the deployment and operational use of cooperative intelligent transport systems.

(4) Member States mandating the instalment of on-board weighing equipment should be able to exempt from that obligation vehicles or vehicle combinations for which it is impossible to exceed the maximum authorised weight, such as trailers or semitrailers specifically designed for the carriage of liquids or livestock.

(5) The use of on-board weighing equipment for the purpose of enforcement may trigger attempts of manipulation, as is the case with other vehicle systems, such as the digital tachograph or the systems for the restriction of emissions. In order to keep an appropriate level of security against manipulation, the communication between motor vehicle and trailer or semi-trailer must be secured. In addition, on-board weighing equipment should be certified according to the Common Criteria, by a certification body recognised by the Management Committee within the framework of the ‘Mutual Recognition Agreement of Information Technology Security Evaluation Certificates’ of the Senior Officials Group on Information Systems Security (SOG-IS).

(6) Member States which opt for the installation in the vehicle of on-board weighing equipment should ensure that the vehicles undergo inspections of that equipment by OBW-workshops. In order to ensure the uniform implementation of the interoperability rules set out in this Regulation, those workshops should guarantee that the on-board equipment is operating with the appropriate level of accuracy. Those workshops may be, subject to necessary adjustments, testing centres referred to in Directive 2014/45/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), workshops referred to in Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), or any other workshop respecting the requirements of this Regulation. Member States which do not opt for introducing on-board weighing equipment on the grounds of Article 10d(1) of Directive 96/53/EC should not need to set up those workshops.

(7) The current state of the technology does not make possible the implementation of neither CEN DSRC nor C-ITS communication standards in on-board weighing equipment by 27 May 2021. A phased approach should therefore be adopted for the implementation of on-board weighing equipment so that industry is able to develop products compliant with the requirements of this Regulation, and in particular with its Annex II and certain requirements of Annex III. The Member States which opt for the installation in the vehicle of on-board weighing equipment should, by 27 May 2021, apply the requirements referring to stage 1 set out in Annexes I and III. An additional period of three years should be granted for the application of requirements set out in Annex II and those referring to stage 2 set out in Annexes I and III.

(8) Member States may take specific measures to require that the vehicles to be checked by the competent authorities in order to ensure compliance with Directive 96/53/EC and which are put into circulation as of 27 May 2021 and registered in their territory, are fitted with an on-board weighing equipment. Vehicles put into circulation and registered before that date should not need to be retrofitted with such an equipment.

(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Road Transport Committee, referred to in Article 10i of Directive 96/53/EC,

3.2.   The C-ITS station in the motor vehicle shall:

3.2.1.

Build up the OWS data with the information received from the MVU and the C-ITS stations of the trailers or semi-trailers being towed, according to the structure set out in point 6;

3.2.2.

secure the OWS data as laid down in point 8, and

3.2.3.

forward the OWS data to the DSRC-VU for further transmission to the REDCR.

4.   Data transfer between the DSRC-VU and either the MVU (stage 1) or the C-ITS station in the motor vehicle (stage 2) shall be implemented as set out in point 5.6 of Appendix 14, where VU shall be understood as being either the MVU or the C-ITS station, depending on the stage.

5.   Communication between the DSRC-VU and the REDCR

5.1.   The communication between the DSRC-VU and the REDCR shall be carried out through the interface defined by the CEN DSRC standards EN 12253, EN 12795, EN 12834, EN 13372 and ISO 14906, as referred to in Council Directive 96/53/EC.

5.2.   The transaction protocol to download OWS data across the 5.8 GHz DSRC interface link shall be the same as the one used for the RTM data in point 5.4.1 of Appendix 14, the only difference being that the Object Identifier that relates to the TARV standard shall be addressing the ISO 15638 standard (TARV) Part 20 related to WOB/OWS.

5.3.   The commands used for an OWS transaction shall be the same as those set out in point 5.4.2 of Appendix 14 for a RTM transaction.

5.4.   The interrogation command sequence for OWS data shall be the same as the one set out in point 5.4.3 of Appendix 14 for RTM data.

5.5.   Data transfer mechanism and DSRC transaction description shall be the same as set out in points 5.4.6 and 5.4.7 of Appendix 14. The Vehicle Service Table shall be however adapted for the transmission of OWS data. Consequently, the Rtm-ContextMark shall be replaced by an Ows-ContextMark, which object identifier shall refer to the ISO 15638 standard (TARV) Part 20 related to WOB/OWS.

5.6.   The DSRC physical interface parameters shall be the same as those set out in point 5.3 of Appendix 14.

7.   Elements of OWS data, actions performed and definitions:

The OWS data shall be calculated by either the MVU (stage 1) or the C-ITS station in the motor vehicle (stage 2) according to table 1

Table 1

Elements of OWS data, actions performed and definitions

where

a)

recordedWeight represents the total measured weight of the vehicle or vehicle combination with a resolution of 10 kg as defined in EN ISO 14906. For example, a value of 2 500 represents a weight of 25 ton.

b)

axlesConfiguration represents the configuration of the vehicle or vehicle combination as number of axles.

The configuration is defined with the bit mask of 20 bits (extended from EN ISO 14906).

A bit mask of 2 bits represents the configuration of an axle with the following format:

— Value 00B means that value is ‘non available’ because the vehicle does not have equipment to collect the weight on the axle.

— Value 01B means that the axle is not present.

— Value 10B means that the axle is present and the weight has been calculated and collected and it is provided in the axlesRecordedWeight field.

— Value 11B is reserved for future uses.

The last 6 bits are reserved for future uses.

Table 2

Bit distribution for OWS2

c)

axlesRecordedWeight represent the specific weight recorded for each axle with a resolution of 10 Kg. Two octets are used for each axle. For example, a value of 150, represent a weight of 1 500 Kgs.

d)

maximumTechnicalWeight represent the technically permissible maximum laden mass of the vehicle or vehicle combination as declared by the manufacturer. This value shall only be provided for stage 2. For stage 1, a 0 value shall be assigned.

8.   OWS data signature

8.1.   For stage 1, the OWS data shall not be signed; the plaintext of the OWS data shall be transferred from the MVU to the DSRC-VU.

8.2.   For stage 2, the OWS data shall be signed in the C-ITS station of the motor vehicle and transferred from the latter to the DSRC-VU, in accordance with the following provisions:

8.2.1.

The secured data structure shall be constructed as set out in points 5.1 and 5.2 of ETSI TS 103 097-V1.3.1.

8.2.2.

The type SignedData referred to in point 5.2 of ETSI TS 103 097-V1.3.1 shall have the following constraints:

a)

The type HashAlgorithm shall be set at sha256.

b)

The type SignerIdentifier shall be set at ‘digest’.

c)

The type SignedDataPayload shall be the OWS data as laid down in point 7.

d)

The type HeaderInfo shall be constrained to have the following security headers:

— The component psid shall be set equal to 0.

— The component generationTime as defined in IEEE Std 1609.2.

— The component expiryTime shall be absent.

— The component generationLocation shall be absent.

— The component p2pcdLearningRequest shall be absent.

— The component missingCrlIdentifier shall be absent.

— The component encryptionKey shall be absent.

— The component inlineP2pcdRequest shall be absent.

— The component requestedCertificate shall be absent.

8.2.3.

The ASN.1 module definition for the type Signature shall be as follows:

8.2.4.

The signing certificate shall be the certificate in the authorisation ticket that the C-ITS station is using for the transaction between the C-ITS station and the REDCR, in accordance with point 6 of ETSI TS 103 097-V1.3.1.

8.2.5.

When receiving the message, the REDCR shall verify the certificate and shall use the public key included in that certificate to read the OWS data signature.

9.   The application protocol and error handling for OWS data shall be the same as set out in points 5.6.2 and 5.7 of Appendix 14.

10.   For stage 2, OWS data may also be served directly to the REDCR of the enforcer via the C-ITS station in the motor vehicle instead of via the DSRC-VU. In that case, the REDCR will also be a C-ITS station.

ANNEX IV

PERIODIC INSPECTIONS

1.   On-board weighing equipment (‘OBW’) shall undergo periodic inspections by weighing the vehicle or vehicle combination on certified weighing devices in accordance with Article 5(2)(b) of this Regulation, such as portable weigh pads or a weighbridge.

2.   The following vehicles shall be subject to inspection:

a)

motor vehicles;

b)

trailers and semi-trailers featuring a trailer unit (‘TU’).

3.   Trailers and semi-trailers subject to inspection according to point 2 shall undergo the inspection attached to a motor vehicle. Motor vehicles intended to tow semi-trailers shall undergo the inspection attached to a semi-trailer.

4.   The periodic inspection shall consist of:

a)

a three-load test, which shall be carried out two years after the registration of the vehicle and every four years thereafter;

b)

a single-load test, which shall be carried out two years after the first three-load test and every four years thereafter.

Table 3

Sequence of performance of the periodic inspections

5.   Three-load test

A three-load test shall be performed by loading the vehicle with three different loads, which values shall be calculated as follows:

a)

a load between 45 % and 55 % of the technically permissible maximum laden mass of the vehicle;

b)

a load between 65 % and 75 % of the technically permissible maximum laden mass of the vehicle;

c)

A load between 90 % and 100 % of the technically permissible maximum laden mass of the vehicle.

6.   The single load test shall be performed by loading the vehicle with a load which is at least 90 % of the technically permissible maximum laden mass of the vehicle.

7.   For trailers and semi-trailers featuring a TU and for motor vehicles intended to tow a semi-trailer, the loads in points 5 and 6 shall be calculated in respect of the technically permissible maximum laden mass of the vehicle combination.

8.   Specific provisions for dynamic OBWs

8.1.   If the technically permissible maximum laden mass of the vehicle or vehicle combination exceeds the maximum authorised weight, the loads in points 5 and 6 shall be calculated in respect of the maximum authorised weight.

8.2.   In order to get a load value from the OBW, the vehicle or vehicle combination shall be driven over a certain distance under specific conditions to be specified in the manufacturer's guidelines.

9.   The inspection shall be deemed to have failed when

a)

the load value displayed by the OBW corresponding to the load between 90 % to 100 % of the technically permissible maximum laden mass referred to in point 5(c) does not conform to the values measured by the certified weighing device, with the level of accuracy set out in point 8 of Annex I, and

b)

the load values displayed by the OBW corresponding to the loads between 45 % and 55 %, and between 65 % and 75 % of the technically permissible maximum laden mass as referred to in points 5(a) and 5(b), do not conform to the values measured by the certified weighing device with a level or accuracy of ± 15 %.

10.   When the inspection fails the OBW shall undergo a new inspection no later than two months after the previous one.

11.   Flexibilities for periodic inspections:

In order to facilitate the performance of periodic inspections for specific types of vehicles, and in order to reduce the impact of periodic inspections on the regular activities of drivers and hauliers, Member States may consider the application of the following flexibilities for vehicles registered in their territory:

a)

the three load values referred to in point 5 may be obtained over a period of three months;

b)

the actual weighing of the vehicle may be carried out on certified weighing devices not belonging to the facilities of the OBW-workshops referred to in Article 5 of this Regulation, provided that the weighing operation is being supervised by a member of the staff of an OBW-workshop. The owner of the vehicle shall provide evidence to the OBW-workshop that the weighing has been performed on a certified weighing device;

c)

for vehicles or vehicle combinations which specific configuration makes technically impossible to exceed the maximum authorised weight during normal use (e.g. road tankers) the loads referred to in points 5 and 6 may have other values; in the case of the three-load test, the difference between two consecutive loads shall be at least 15 % of the maximum authorised weight.
