              Notes: This is an Excel spreadsheet containing the required combinations of variants and versions, in digital format, which must comply with the template for its category, as published on the website of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transportation. More specifically, templates in Excel spreadsheet form can be found at the link above, grouped by vehicle category as follows: (a) Passenger vehicles (b) Lorries (c) Buses (d) Trailers/Semi-trailers with the numbering of the columns to be filled out and a description of the required technical characteristic as well as a detailed elaboration, in the form of a drop-down comment, with instructions and registration restrictions. When applying for a notification card, and depending on vehicle category, the applicant must enter the values for the required technical specifications on as many lines of the spreadsheet as there are variants/versions to be included in the notification card; each line corresponds to a variant/version of the vehicle and each column to a technical characteristic. As this Excel spreadsheet will be used to enter the technical specifications for each variant/version of the vehicle into the Technical Register of Vehicles (TRV) system, the file is subject to the following technical restrictions imposed by that system: (*): the file should be saved as: ‘EXCEL 97-2003 workbook’. (**): the file must contain only one item – the active Spreadsheet. (***): the file must not have headers/footers. (****): data entries should not include functions and macros. (*****): fields that are not to be filled out should, as a rule, be left completely blank, without any periods or dashes; this may be ensured by using the Delete key.

              Notes: Οther supporting documents required for audit (individual certificates, attestations, end-of-series decisions). The encoding of the numbering of technical characteristics in the EXCEL spreadsheet corresponds to that of the uniform encoding system used in type-approvals, from where they are extracted. If, however: (A): some of the required technical characteristics are not included in the type-approval and/or: (B): one or more of the vehicle’s technical characteristics conflict with specific ‘Registration restrictions’: the applicant must submit the necessary documentation confirming the correctness of the registered value of the specific technical characteristic. This additional documentation may be, in order of priority: (i) Individual type-approvals on which the notified type-approval is based. (ii) Manufacturer certificate. (iii) Manufacturer’s manuals and vehicle specifications. (iv) A statement from the Greek dealership, where a specific technical characteristic is freely selectable from among approved alternatives within the scope of a specific notified variant/version of the vehicle. (C): this is a notification card for a specific vehicle (chassis number) that is not intended for general use; the applicant must also submit the Certificate of Conformity (CoC) for said vehicle. Additional documentation may be submitted in both printed and electronic form (as a .pdf file, if possible, with the search function enabled and the save changes option disabled).
