Statutory regulations governing installation

The Air Top 2000 STC heater has been type-tested and approved in accord-
ance with ECE-R 10 (EMC) and ECE-R 122 (heater).
For approval number see Chapter 16, "Technical data".
Primarily, the stipulations of Part I and of Annex 7 to the Regulation ECE-R
122 must be observed for the installation.
NOTE:
The stipulations of this regulation are binding under the framework
of the Directive 70/156/EEC and/or 2007/46/EC (for new vehicle mod-
els from 29/04/2009) and should also be observed in countries where
there are no specific regulations.
See Chapter 1.2, "Excerpt from the directive ECE-R 122 Part I and Annex
7" and Chapter 1.3, "Excerpt from the directive ECE-R 122 Annex 9".
ATTENTION:
Failure to follow the installation instructions and the notes contained therein
will lead to all liability being refused by Webasto. The same applies if repairs
are carried out incorrectly or with the use of parts other than genuine spare
parts. This will result in the invalidation of the type approval for the heater
and therefore of its homologation / EC type licence.
