This guide explains the GSR II assessment and approval work required when a Fiat Ducato is converted under a series-conversion programme.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Under Official Gazette No. 32799 of 31 January 2025, the GSR II implementation timetable for AİTM series-conversion, individual-conversion and installation procedures covering vehicles of categories M2, M3, N2 and N3 was postponed until 1 October 2025. Manufacturers were expected to achieve full GSR II compliance during this transitional period. Contact us for guidance on GSR II compliance.
For manufacturers holding an AİTM series-conversion type approval, ensuring that a Fiat Ducato converted to category M2 complies with GSR II is critical. Anemon Engineering establishes a sustainable technical route for manufacturers during this transition.
GSR II Requirements and AİTM Series-Conversion Approval
GSR II introduces additional safety requirements that must be addressed by vehicle manufacturers and converters. Companies holding an AİTM series-conversion type approval must demonstrate conformity with the provisions applicable to the final vehicle.
For a broader explanation of GSR II, see “What Are the GSR II Requirements and How Does the 7 July Transition Affect Vehicles?”.
Fiat Ducato GSR II Testing and Reporting
For Fiat Ducato vehicles converted from category N1 or N2 to M2, the completed vehicle must satisfy the legislation applicable to its final category. Our support includes:
Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) Assessment
For a conversion to category M2, the intelligent speed assistance (ISA) system must remain compatible with the completed vehicle. Our team supports the ISA assessment, testing and reporting required for Fiat Ducato conversions to M2.
Correct integration and continued functionality of ISA are important elements of the GSR II conformity assessment.
UN R155 Cybersecurity Assessment
Electrical and electronic equipment introduced by a conversion must be assessed for its effect on the vehicle’s cybersecurity architecture and approved systems.
Under UN Regulation No 155, we support the assessment of the cybersecurity management system (CSMS) context and the preparation or coordination of the required technical reports.
This work provides the technical evidence needed to address cybersecurity risks and demonstrate conformity with the applicable requirements.
Assessment and Reporting under Other Applicable Regulations
Depending on the conversion, additional testing and reporting may be required under other regulatory acts. Examples include blind-spot information systems and moving-off information systems designed to detect pedestrians and cyclists.
Anemon Engineering specialists define the applicable scope, coordinate the necessary tests and manage the resulting technical evidence.
See our guide to Fiat Ducato conversions to an M1 motor caravan or an M2 passenger vehicle.
Update the Scope of Your AİTM Series-Conversion Approval
As the relevant GSR II requirements become applicable, the scope and technical file of an existing AİTM series-conversion type approval must be reviewed and updated where necessary.
The update requires the technical file and declared approval scope to be revised and supported by evidence of conformity with the newly applicable requirements.
Anemon Engineering manages the technical review, evidence planning and application work needed to update the approval efficiently.
Why Regulatory Conformity Matters
Failure to address the applicable requirements can expose a manufacturer to significant legal, operational and financial risk, including blocked registration, interrupted sales and enforcement action. GSR II conformity must therefore be established before vehicles are released under the approval.
A Structured GSR II Programme with Anemon Engineering
Our work on the Fiat Ducato GSR II transition has identified the principal assessment, testing and reporting steps required for common conversion scopes. We use this experience to define a practical approval programme for each manufacturer.
Our coordination with equipment suppliers and technical services helps establish a clear test plan and obtain the required reports without avoidable procedural delay.
Across each stage of the programme, we help you establish a complete and traceable Fiat Ducato GSR II compliance process.
