Numbering of UN type approvals
1. As from the entry into force of the 1958 Agreement, Contracting Parties shall issue a type approval number according to paragraphs 1.10 and 2.8 of Schedule 3 for each new type approval and each extension of such an approval.
2. As from the entry into force of the 1958 Agreement and notwithstanding that the provisions on approval markings in any version of UN Regulations may have stipulated otherwise, the manufacturer shall affix an approval mark, if requested, according the provisions of the relevant UN Regulations, however, utilizing in that marking the first two digits of Section 2 and the digits of Section 3 of the approval number as mentioned in this Schedule as approval number to each wheeled vehicle, equipment or part for which a new approval has been granted or for which such approvals have been extended. However, this provision does not apply where a UN Regulation requires an approval code or an identification code to be used in the approval mark instead of an approval number. The leading zeros to Section 3 may be omitted.
3. An approval number shall be assigned to each type approved. The type approval number shall consist of 4 sections. Each section shall be separated by the “*” character.

Section 1: The capital letter “E” followed by the distinguishing number of the Contracting Party which has granted the type approval.
Section 2: The number of the relevant UN Regulation, followed by the letter “R”, successively followed by:
a) Two digits (with leading zeros as applicable) indicating the series of amendments incorporating the technical provisions of the UN Regulation applied to the approval (00 for the UN Regulation in its original form);
b) A slash and two digits (with leading zeros as applicable) indicating the number of supplement to the series of amendments applied to the approval (00 for the series of amendments in its original form);
c) A slash and one or two character(s) indicating the implementing stage, if applicable.
Section 3: A four to six-digit sequential number (with leading zeros as applicable). The sequence shall start from 0001.
Section 4: A two-digit sequential number (with leading zeros if applicable) to denote the extension. The sequence shall start from 00.
All digits shall be Arabic digits.

4. The same Contracting Party shall not assign the same number to another approval.
