As part of the system of EU type approval, motor vehicles and trailers must meet prescribed safety and environmental standards before being sold or first used on Irish roads. This type approval system already applies to cars, vans and buses and from October 29th 2012 onwards, the system of will extend to include the following vehicles:<\/p>\n

New Heavy Goods Vehicles (Gross Vehicle Design Weight in excess of 3,500kg)
\nNew Heavy Goods Trailers (Gross Vehicle Design Weight in excess of 3,500kg)
\nNew light trailers (Gross Vehicle Design Weight not exceeding 3,500kg)<\/p>\n

When a vehicle is manufactured to approval standards, it is issued with approval certification and it is important this certification is passed on by the manufacturer in order to allow new vehicles to be sold or registered.<\/p>\n
