Response from the competent authority: Pursuant to Article 19(1) of the Law on Motor
  Vehicles (Official Journal of the Republic of Slovenia No 106/10), an individual
  approval procedure for a modified vehicle must be carried out in cases where the
  vehicle has undergone a modification which meets at least one of the following conditions1.         it
  affects or could affect the approved parts of the vehicle;3 it affects or could
  affect the safety of the vehicle.Changes to vehicles which can only be recorded
  and do not fall within the individual approval procedure of a modified vehicle are
  defined in the first three paragraphs of Article 53 of the aforementioned Law, which
  read:"(1) The owner of the vehicle shall ensure that changes to the vehicle, which
  have been made after the type-approval and individual approval, but which do not
  fall within the scope of modifications of vehicles under Article 19 of this Law,
  are recorded with the technical service within the time limit referred to in the
  fourth paragraph of Article 33 of this Law.(2) The modifications referred to in
  the preceding paragraph shall include the installation of components which are different
  from the replacement parts but which have been approved for installation in a particular
  type (variant or version) of vehicle, such as, for example:1 exhaust systems,2 mechanical
  coupling devices for the coupling of the vehicle! Class A 50 and B 50 (towing balls
  of 50 mm diameter and towing heads for them), or3 spoilers(3) The installations
  referred to in the preceding paragraph shall not be considered as conversions if
  they are carried out by the manufacturers of these parts or by legal persons or
  sole proprietors who are registered for the maintenance and repair of vehicles!
  It follows from the cited provisions of the Act that in the case of the installation
  of a mechanical device for coupling vehicles, which has been installed by the manufacturer
  of this device or by a legal person or by an individual entrepreneur registered
  for the maintenance and repair of vehicles and who has issued a certificate of installation,
  the procedure for recording this installation must be carried out. This is a simplified
  procedure to be carried out at the technical service, where it is verified that
  the device fitted is approved for the type of vehicle and that it is fitted in the
  manner intended by the vehicle manufacturer. No calculations or measurements are
  carried out. Furthermore, the details of the modification shall be entered in the
  vehicle type-approval documents and in the records of the certificates of conformity
  issued for the vehicle, and the owner shall ensure that the change of details is
  recorded in the vehicle's registration certificate. Such inspection and data entry
  shall be carried out by the technical services authorised to do so by the type-approval
  authority.  The approval authority does not, however, authorise the fitters, as
  the citizen states in his letter. It is true, however, that most of the technical
  services also carry out roadworthiness tests on motor vehicles and trailers and
  are therefore the same entities. In the event of an inspection, the technical service
  must prove to the approval authority or the competent inspection body that the vehicle
  has been inspected and that the conversion of the vehicle is appropriate and safe
  for all road users.  The number of documents to be completed by the technical service
  technician is not prescribed.
