Document overview

A procedure has been developed for monitoring when making changes to the design of wheeled vehicles in operation.

Control is carried out by departments of the Department of Internal Affairs, which are entrusted with responsibilities for federal supervision in the field of road safety. This is done when obtaining permission to make changes to the design of the vehicle and issuing a certificate of compliance of the vehicle with the changes made to its design with safety requirements.

A List of unacceptable changes to the design of wheeled vehicles in operation has also been developed. In particular, these are changes that lead to the destruction of the vehicle identification number.

In the previous article on this topic, we examined the situation in detail and talked with representatives of a large tuning studio. The bottom line of that conversation can be formulated as follows: if you are modifying a car yourself, in order for the modifications to become legal, you must go through a series of applications to the traffic police and to NAMI. If you contact an organization involved in tuning, then in case of possible communication with the traffic police, it may be enough for you to carry a pack of certificates with you, because the procedure for registering changes has not yet been thoroughly spelled out, and not all traffic police departments understand how to proceed.

The specialists of FSUE NAMI, where we turned for the following comment, have their own vision of the situation. Talking with the director of the Center for Technical Expertise of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "NAMI" Andrei Vladimirovich Vasiliev, we started with general questions and decided to clarify once again: what procedure is provided and what documents are needed if a person is going to modify a production car? And we received detailed instructions, which we present in full.

Registration of vehicle modifications. Order owner's actions:

Obtaining a preliminary technical examination report on the possibility and procedure for making changes to the design of the vehicle. This opinion confirms that the design of a given vehicle can be subject to appropriate design changes and imposes conditions under which it will comply with safety requirements, and also provides recommendations for the selection of a production base.

To obtain a preliminary examination conclusion from FSUE NAMI must be submitted:

• application for preliminary examination;
• passport details of the owner (for an individual) or name and address of the organization (for a legal entity);
• copies of documents for the vehicle (passport, registration certificate);
• description of the proposed change in the design of the vehicle, indicating the names (make, model) of the components and assemblies being replaced and, if necessary, the vehicle.

Filling out an application to the traffic police to make changes to the design of the vehicle with the provision of the car to the traffic police for inspection. If the decision of the traffic police is positive, you can begin work on making changes to the design of the vehicle.

Carrying out work to make changes to the design taking into account the requirements set out in the conclusion of the preliminary technical examination. Upon completion of the work, the organization carrying out the re-equipment issues a statement of the volume and quality of the work performed and a copy of the certificate for services.

Carrying out a technical inspection of the vehicle after making changes to the design in accredited technical inspection shops with the receipt of a diagnostic card.

Obtaining a protocol of technical examination of the design after making changes to the vehicle.

To obtain a protocol of technical examination of the vehicle design after making changes to the Federal State Unitary Enterprise NAMI must be submitted:

• application for changes to the design of the vehicle with a resolution from the traffic police;
• a copy of the document for the vehicle (passport, registration certificate);
• a copy of the document for the replaced unit (PTS, purchase and sale agreement addressed to the owner of the vehicle);
• a declaration statement on the scope and quality of work (filled out by the service that performed the work) with a technical description of the changes made and the characteristics of the vehicle after the changes were made;
• documentation describing changes made to the design (sketches, photos, design documentation, etc.), certificates for used components;
• certificate for car service services;
• diagnostic card after the conversion, entered into the EAISTO database;
• a copy of the preliminary examination report;
• car for inspection.

Obtaining from the traffic police a certificate of compliance of the vehicle design with safety requirements (SCTS), based on the documents listed in paragraphs 1-5.

Entering data on the re-equipment and the SKTS number into the vehicle registration documents (PTS and registration certificate).

So, we have the same scheme that has been described more than once in the media, but in reality often causes difficulties - even stated like this, in specific points, it does not look simple. But apart from this, a number of questions remain, some of which we tried to clarify at FSUE NAMI.

K.: What procedure is provided if a person already owns a car with modifications? How can he legitimize them?

N.: As a rule, for owners who made changes to the design of the vehicle before the entry into force of the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union (TR CU 018/2011), that is, before January 1, 2015, the procedure for registering changes is the same, in accordance with paragraphs 1-6, In this case, dismantling of the installed equipment is not required.

K.: Are there any typical situations - in which ones do you issue a positive conclusion, and in which ones do you refuse? For example, is it possible to install a larger engine? Where is the line that your experts definitely won’t cross? And how is it determined?

N.: Experts will definitely not miss design changes that worsen safety parameters or do not comply with the requirements of TR CU 018/2011. Regarding engine power, we can say that it is permissible to install the engine provided by the manufacturer for this type of vehicle. An option with a different engine may also be considered. At the same time, power and torque cannot exceed those of the standard engine by more than 25%. Experts from FSUE NAMI carry out the appropriate calculations or send the vehicle for testing to the Dmitrov Automotive Test Site to obtain a protocol.

K.: Cars are modified in very different ways - here are jeepers with snorkels and power bumpers, and street racers with lowered suspension and large rims, and businessmen who installed LPG on the Gazelle. Can all these people simply show the traffic police officers certificates from component manufacturers describing their installation on a given model?

N.: The presence of a certificate only confirms the safety of the component, but not the safety of the vehicle on which it is installed. Therefore, the procedure for registering changes made to the design for such vehicles is still necessary.

K.: And if a person presents a certificate to the policeman, which says that the installation company tested the car in the prescribed manner (say, in NAMI), received a certificate for the product and its installation on a specific model?

N.: There is only one option not to contact the centers that process changes - if the vehicle manufacturer or its official representative in the territory of the Customs Union has, in the prescribed manner, certified the components of this type of vehicle and received OTTS.

K.: How do you think the legal field should ultimately develop around the new technical regulations and the application of its provisions in practice? Should everyone's title indicate that the car has been modified? Or is it only for those who manufacture and install tuning elements privately?

N.: All changes in the design must be reflected in the documents for the car.

K.: In general, is tuning a good thing or not? Does US welcome competent modifications to the car? Or is a car considered to be in its best shape when it is exactly as it came from the manufacturer?

N.: Tuning, carried out with a sense of proportion and real necessity, can be useful for the car owner.

What's the result?

Let's give a brief summary of what has been said.

1. Specialists from FSUE “NAMI” note that work with companies involved in tuning is built “on a common basis.” In fact, this means that in terms of registering modifications, tuning studios are equated to private owners - and therefore they are obliged to submit any manufactured car to the NAMI laboratory and receive a “tuned” title for it. The only option for a tuning company not to register each modified car with NAMI is to coordinate with the vehicle manufacturer and carry out the procedure for certifying the components included in this type, followed by obtaining a vehicle type approval and releasing it into circulation.
2. A tuning company can shift the procedure for registering changes in the design to the car owner, and he, in turn, can not go anywhere, carry a stack of certificates in the glove compartment and, if necessary, present them to the traffic police. But this approach works (not always, however) only because some police officers are still not aware that any modifications, no matter who carries them out, must be recorded in the PTS, and not in the certificate.
3. All kinds of “swap” of engines (swap, “replacement” (English), when high-performance units are installed in initially low-power cars), as well as serious engine modifications and other serious interventions risk forever (at least for a long time) remaining outside the law. Let’s explain with a simple example: if you have a Lada Granta Sport with a base engine power of 120 hp, and through modification you have increased the power by more than 30 hp. (by more than a quarter), then you cannot receive the appropriate mark in the PTS and legally move on the roads.

This is what the situation looks like at the moment. A hard “no” to those who like to “collect farm”? The beginning of the decline of tuning as a phenomenon? Or maybe the start of new, more professional and balanced directions? So far, all scenarios seem equally possible...
