Correct answer
None: “semi-heavy” is not a defined N category.
“Semi-heavy” is not a defined category in this classification. Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2018/858 distinguishes N1 up to 3.5 tonnes, N2 over 3.5 and up to 12 tonnes, and N3 over 12 tonnes by maximum mass; classification uses the technically permissible maximum laden mass. Payload alone or a 6-tonne threshold does not determine these categories. A commercial or colloquial term does not replace the type-approval category.
