4.2. It must be possible, from the characteristics of the traces, their relative positions and if necessary the signs laid down in Article 34 of this Regulation, to distinguish clearly between the various periods of time. The various periods of time should be differentiated from one another on the record by differences in the thickness of the relevant traces, or by any other system of at least equal effectiveness from the point of view of legibility and ease of interpretation of the record.
4.3. In the case of vehicles with a crew consisting of more than one driver, the recordings provided for in point 4.1 must be made on separate record sheets, each record sheet being allocated to one driver. In this case, the forward movement of the separate record sheets must be effected either by a single mechanism or by separate synchronised mechanisms.

(b) Recording areas and their graduation
1. The record sheets shall include the following recording areas:
2. The area for recording speed must be scaled off in divisions of 20 kilometres per hour or less. The speed corresponding to each marking on the scale must be shown in figures against that marking. The symbol ‘km/h’ must be shown at least once within the area. The last marking on the scale must coincide with the upper limit of the range of measurement.
3. The area for recording distance travelled must be set out in such a way that the number of kilometres travelled may be read without difficulty.
4. The area or areas reserved for recording the periods referred to in point 1 must be so marked that it is possible to distinguish clearly between the various periods of time.
(c) Information to be printed on the record sheets
Each record sheet must bear, in printed form, the following information:
By way of minimal additional requirements, each record sheet must bear, in printed form, a time-scale graduated in such a way that the time may be read directly at intervals of fifteen minutes while each five-minute interval may be determined without difficulty.
(d) Free space for handwritten insertions
A free space must be provided on the record sheets such that drivers may as a minimum write in the following details:
V. INSTALLATION OF RECORDING EQUIPMENT
|
1. |
Recording equipment must be positioned in the vehicle in such a way that the driver has a clear view from his seat of the speedometer, distance recorder and clock while at the same time all parts of those instruments, including driving parts, are protected against accidental damage. |
|
2. |
It must be possible to adapt the constant of the recording equipment to the characteristic coefficient of the vehicle by means of a suitable device, to be known as an adaptor. Vehicles with two or more rear axle ratios must be fitted with a switch device whereby those various ratios may be automatically brought into line with the ratio for which the equipment has been adapted to the vehicle. |
|
3. |
After the equipment has been checked on installation, an installation plaque must be affixed to the vehicle beside the equipment or in the equipment itself and in such a way as to be clearly visible. After every inspection by an approved fitter or workshop requiring a change in the setting of the installation itself, a new installation plaque must be affixed in place of the previous one. The installation plaque must show at least the following details:
—
name, address or trade name of the approved fitter, workshop or vehicle manufacturer,
—
characteristic coefficient of the vehicle, in the form ‘w = … rev/km’ or ‘w = … imp/km’,
—
effective circumference of the wheel tyres, in the form ‘1 = … mm’,
—
the dates on which the characteristic coefficient of the vehicle was determined and the effective circumference of the wheel tyres was measured.
|
|
4. |
Sealing The following parts must be sealed:
(a)
the installation plaque, unless it is attached in such a way that it cannot be removed without the markings thereon being destroyed;
(b)
the two ends of the link between the recording equipment proper and the vehicle;
(c)
the adaptor itself and the point of its insertion into the circuit;
(d)
the switch mechanism for vehicles with two or more axle ratios;
(e)
the links joining the adaptor and the switch mechanism to the rest of the equipment;
(f)
the casings required under point (a)(7.2) of Part III;
(g)
any cover giving access to the means of adapting the constant of the recording equipment to the characteristic coefficient of the vehicle. In particular cases, further seals may be required on approval of the equipment type and a note of the positioning of those seals must be made on the approval certificate. The seals mentioned in points (b), (c) and (e) of the first paragraph are authorised to be removed:
—
in cases of emergency,
—
in order to install, adjust or repair a speed limitation device or any other device contributing to road safety,
provided that the recording equipment continues to function reliably and correctly and is resealed by an approved fitter or workshop immediately after fitting the speed limitation device or any other device contributing to road safety or within seven days in other cases. For each occasion that those seals are broken, a written statement giving the reasons for such action must be prepared and made available to the competent authority. |
|
5. |
The cables connecting the recording equipment to the transmitter must be protected by a continuous plastic-coated rust-protected steel sheath with crimped ends, except where an equivalent protection against manipulation is guaranteed by other means (for example by electronic monitoring such as signal encryption) capable of detecting the presence of any device which is unnecessary for the correct operation of the recording equipment and the purpose of which is to prevent the accurate operation of the recording equipment by short circuiting or interruption or by modification of the electronic data from the speed and distance sensor. A joint, comprised of sealed connections, is deemed to be continuous within the meaning of this Regulation. The aforementioned electronic monitoring may be replaced by an electronic control which ensures that the recording equipment is able to record any movement of the vehicle, independent from the signal of the speed and distance sensor. For the purposes of the application of this point, M 1 and N 1 vehicles are those defined in Part A of Annex II to Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 12 ). For those vehicles that are equipped with tachographs in compliance with this Regulation and are not designed to be fitted with an armoured cable between the distance and speed sensors and the recording equipment, an adaptor shall be fitted as close as possible to the distance and speed sensors. The armoured cable shall be fitted from the adaptor to the recording equipment. |
VI. CHECKS AND INSPECTIONS
The Member States shall nominate the bodies which shall carry out the checks and inspections.
1. Certification of new or repaired instruments
Every individual device, whether new or repaired, shall be certified in respect of its correct operation and the accuracy of its readings and recordings, within the limits laid down in point (f)(1) of Part III, by means of sealing in accordance with point (f) of the first paragraph of point 4 of Part V.
For this purpose, the Member States may stipulate an initial verification, consisting of a check on, and confirmation of, the conformity of a new or repaired device with the type-approved model and/or with the requirements of this Regulation, or may delegate the power to certify to the manufacturers or to their authorised agents.
2. Installation
When being fitted to a vehicle, the equipment and the whole installation must comply with the provisions relating to maximum tolerances laid down in point (f)(2) of Part III.
The inspection tests shall be carried out by the approved fitter or workshop on its own responsibility.
3. Periodic inspections
(a) Periodic inspections of the equipment fitted to vehicles shall take place at least every two years and may be carried out in conjunction with roadworthiness tests of vehicles.
Those inspections shall include the following checks:
(b) An inspection to ensure compliance with point (f)(3) of Part III on the maximum tolerances in use shall be carried out at least once every six years, although each Member State may stipulate a shorter inspection interval for vehicles registered in its territory. Such inspections must include replacement of the installation plaque.
4. Measurement of errors
The measurement of errors on installation and during use shall be carried out under the following conditions, which are to be regarded as constituting standard test conditions:
