     1.  Manufacturers  shall  provide  unrestricted  and standardised
access  to  vehicle  repair and maintenance information to independent
operators  through  websites  using a standardised format in a readily
accessible   and   prompt   manner,   and   in   a   manner  which  is
non-discriminatory  compared  to the provision given or access granted
to  authorised  dealers and repairers. With a view to facilitating the
achievement of this objective, the information shall be submitted in a
consistent   manner,   initially  in  accordance  with  the  technical
requirements  of  the  OASIS format <*>. Manufacturers shall also make
training  material  available  to independent operators and authorised
dealers and repairers.
--------------------------------
     <*>  The "OASIS format" refers to the technical specifications of
OASIS  Document  SC2-D5,  Format  of  Automotive  Repair  Information,
version  1.0, 28 May  2003  (available at: http://www.oasis-open.org /
committees / download.php/2412/Draft%20Committee%20Specification. pdf)
and of Sections 3.2,  3.5,  3.6, 3.7 and 3.8 of OASIS Document SC1-D2,
Autorepair  Requirements Specification,  version 6.1,  dated 10.1.2003
(available at:  http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/autorepair/200302

     2. The information referred to in paragraph 1 shall include:
     (a) an unequivocal vehicle identification;
     (b) service handbooks;
     (c) technical manuals;
     (d)  component  and  diagnosis  information  (such as minimum and
maximum theoretical values for measurements);
     (e) wiring diagrams;
     (f)  diagnostic  trouble  codes  (including manufacturer specific
codes);
     (g)  the software calibration identification number applicable to
a vehicle type;
     (h)  information  provided concerning, and delivered by means of,
proprietary tools and equipment;
     and
     (i)  data  record  information and two-directional monitoring and
test data.
     3. Authorised dealers or repairers within the distribution system
of  a  given  vehicle  manufacturer  shall  be regarded as independent
operators  for the purposes of this Regulation to the extent that they
provide  repair  or  maintenance  services  for vehicles in respect of
which  they are not members of the vehicle manufacturer`s distribution
system.
     4. The vehicle repair and maintenance information shall always be
available,   except  as  required  for  maintenance  purposes  of  the
information system.
     5.   For   the   purposes   of   manufacture   and  servicing  of
OBD-compatible  replacement  or service parts and diagnostic tools and
test  equipment,  manufacturers  shall  provide  the  relevant OBD and
vehicle  repair  and  maintenance  information on a non-discriminatory
basis  to any interested component, diagnostic tools or test equipment
manufacturer or repairer.
     6.  For  the purposes of the design and manufacture of automotive
equipment  for  alternative fuel vehicles, manufacturers shall provide
the  relevant  OBD and vehicle repair and maintenance information on a
non-discriminatory  basis to any interested manufacturer, installer or
repairer of equipment for alternative fuel vehicles.
     7.  When applying for EC type approval or national type approval,
the  manufacturer shall provide the type approval authority with proof
of  compliance  with  this  Regulation  relating  to access to vehicle
repair  and maintenance information and to the information referred to
in  paragraph  5.  In  the  event  that  such  information  is not yet
available,  or  does  not  yet  conform  to  this  Regulation  and its
implementing  measures  at  that point in time, the manufacturer shall
provide  it  within six months from the date of type approval. If such
proof  of  compliance is not provided within that period, the approval
authority shall take appropriate measures to ensure compliance.
     The manufacturer shall make subsequent amendments and supplements
to  vehicle  repair  and  maintenance  information  available  on  its
websites  at  the  same  time  they  are  made available to authorised
repairers.
