The present document constitutes the Deliverable D4.1 “Authorisation strategy and overall safety plan” in the framework of the Flagship Project FP5- TRANS4M-R. Content of WP D4.1: The beneficiaries will determine details of the authorisation process (holder of the vehicle type authorisation, registration in ERATV, categorizing the change according to (EU) 2018/545 [EU3] Article 15(1)) with the aim to fit the DAC and its related functionalities into existing vehicles as a change without need for authorisation (Change not classified as triggering Art. 21(12)(a) of Directive (EU) 2016/797). Based on the input of WP2 and WP3 the beneficiaries will prepare a generic hazard record referred to (EU) 402/2013 [EU1] and define the risk acceptance criteria to assess and finally control the identified hazards. The hazard record and the risk acceptance criteria will be assessed and confirmed by an Assessment Body (AsBo) respectively a competent independent assessor.
