However, a Member State may authorise, using the derogation procedure defined below, the production and the mounting of replacement engines, which do not comply with stage IIIA requirements, in the following cases: (i) for a renewal or upgrading of an existing railcar, trainset or locomotive, when the application of stage IIIA requirements would raise important technical difficulties in terms of gauge, axle load, body/chassis design or engine(s) control systems for multiple operation and, as a consequence, compromise the economic viability of the project; (ii) where, following an accident of a railcar, trainset or locomotive or a catastrophic failure of its engine(s), the application of stage IIIA requirements would raise important technical difficulties and, as a consequence, compromise the economic restoration of the damaged railcar or locomotive. For these engines, article 9 (3g), (3i) and (4a) shall not apply. Where derogation is granted, the Member State granting the derogation shall, within six months, provide both the Commission and the approval authorities of the other Member States with a document, in both paper form and as electronic files, which sets out: — the unique reference number of the derogation as shown on the label attached to each engine to which it refers, — the nature of the derogation, including the description of the emissions levels compared with IIIA thresholds and details of the alternative provisions which will be applied, — a detailed justification for granting the derogation, including the main technical difficulties, with their economic and environmental consequences, and a description of the design efforts made in order to approach stage IIIA requirements, and, if need be, other fleet evolution and operating measures, — the number of engines which are subject to the derogation, — details of the manufacturer and of the types and serial numbers of the engines which are subject to the derogation, — details of the railway vehicles series to which the engines will be fitted together with their operational areas, — any other information helping to justify the request for a derogation 1d. For engines placed on the market under 1a, 1b and 1c, the text ‘REPLACEMENT ENGINE’ shall be attached to a label on the engine or inserted into the owner's manual for engines."
