Section 2: the number of this Directive. As it contains different implementation
dates and different technical standards, two alphabetical
characters are added. These characters refer to the
different application dates for the stages of severity and to
the application of the engine for different specification of
mobile machinery, on the basis of which type-approval was
granted. The first character is defined in Article 9. The
second character is defined in Annex I, section 1 with
regard to the test mode defined in Annex III, section 3.6.
Section 3: the number of the latest amending Directive applicable to the
approval. If applicable two further alphabetical characters are
to be added depending on the conditions described in section
2, even if as a result of the new parameters only one of the
characters was to be changed. If no change of these characters
apply they shall be omitted.
Section 4: a four-digit sequential number (with leading zeros as
applicable) to denote the base approval number. The
sequence shall start from 0001.
Section 5: a two-digit sequential number (with a leading zero if
applicable) to denote the extension. The sequence shall
start from 01 for each base approval number.
