sorry, but you've lost me here even more
They DO say that type approval is only applicable to new vehicles, and therefore can't be applied to after market.
They DON'T mention that they CAN'T apply the same rules and regs to aftermarket though.
In fact, they expressly say that it would be reasonable to do so.
But it's
entirely possible that you have a
much greater understanding of Type Approval than I have, as I'm just going by the English as it is written, and have
no pretentions of any legal background to understand the bits that are implied rather than there in black and white.
I'd welcome some enlightenment from you though, as my head is beginging to buzz somewhat from all this legal talk
