(12) “replacement catalytic converter” means a catalytic converter or an assembly of catalytic converters intended to replace an original equipment catalytic converter which can be approved as a separate technical unit as defined in Directive [XXXX/XX/EC];

(11) “original equipment catalytic converter” means a catalytic converter or an assembly of catalytic converters covered by the type approval delivered for the vehicle;

There are a number of doubts, however, such as the lack of any provision imposing obligations on manufacturers of converters (vehicle manufacturers’ obligations are set out in Article 4), since Article 10(1) applies only to replacement catalytic converters intended to be fitted on vehicles not equipped with on-board diagnostic systems (OBD); the current provisions of Directive 2002/80/EC also cover catalytic converters intended to be fitted on vehicles equipped with OBD systems; the Commission does not explain why it is proposing to relax the provisions.

Those requirements should be adjusted so that a replacement catalytic converter can be type-approved as a separate technical unit on the ground that it is of the same type as an original equipment catalytic converter or an original replacement catalytic converter for which type-approval has already been granted.
