GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS 1-7 E URO C ARGO E URO 4 - 5 1.8 Legal Provisions Legal Provisions On completing the vehicle, the bodybuilder/chassis converter must check the work (modifications, body + equipment etc.) to ensure that the legal provisions required in the country of registration are observed (e.g. weights, dimensions, braking, noise, emissions etc.). Information regarding these matters may be obtained from the competent Authorities or the IVECO Area Network. The vehicles manufactured at our plant (except some versions for Extra-European countries) comply with the EC directives. Converted vehicles must also comply with these directives.
The only permissible exception is granted where local type approval differs from EC homologation. 1.9 Prevention of accidents The structures and devices fitted to the vehicles must comply with the current regulations concerning the prevention of accidents and safety regulations in force in the countries where the vehicle is to be used. All the precautions dictated by technical awareness must be adopted to prevent malfunction and functional defects. Compliance with these regulations will be the responsibility of the manufacturers of the structures and devices. 1.10 Choice of material to use:
Ecology - Recycling Increasingly greater attention should be paid, at the study and design stage, to the choice of materials to be used. This is especially the case as regards the aspects connected with ecology and recycling in the light of domestic and international regulations that are constantly being developed in the sector. In this connection: - Everyone must be aware of the prohibitions on using harmful or potentially hazardous materials, such as ones containing asbestos, lead, halogen additives, fluorocarbons, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chrome, etc. - Use materials whose processing produces limited waste and that permit easy recycling after their first use.
- With composite synthetic materials, use components that are compatible with each other, envisaging also their possible utilization with the addition of other salvaged components. Affix the markings required in compliance with the current regulations. In order to comply with EC directive 2000/53 (ELV), IVECO S.p.A. prohibits fitting parts containing lead, mercury, cadmium and hexavalent chrome to vehicles (except for the departures referred to in Attachment II of the above directive).
