The Manufacturer shall implement adequate arrangements and documented control plans and carry-out at specified intervals as given in this regulation the necessary emission and OBD tests to verify continued conformity with the approved type. The approval authority shall verify and agree with these arrangements and control plans of the manufacturer and perform audits and conduct emission and OBD tests at specific intervals, as given in this regulation, at the premises of the manufacturer, including production and test facilities as part of the product conformity and continued verification arrangements as described in Annex X of Directive 2007/46/EC.

▼M3

4.1.2. The manufacturer shall check the conformity of production by testing the emissions of pollutants (given in Table 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 715/2007), the emission of CO2 (along with the measurement of electric energy consumption, EC and, where applicable, the monitoring of the OBFCM device accuracy), the crankcase emissions, evaporative emissions and the OBD in accordance with the test procedures described in Annexes V, VI, XI, XXI and XXII.

▼M3

4.1.4. The frequency for product verification performed by the manufacturer shall be based on a risk assessment methodology consistent with the international standard ISO 31000:2018 — Risk Management — Principles and guidelines and at least for Type 1 with a minimum frequency per COP family of one verification per 5 000 vehicles produced or once per year, whichever comes first.

▼B

4.1.5. The Approval Authority which has granted type-approval may at any time verify the conformity control methods applied in each production facility.

For the purpose of this regulation the Approval Authority shall perform audits for verifying the manufacturers arrangements and documented control plans at the premises of the manufacturer on a risk assessment methodology consistent with the international standard ISO 31000:2009 — Risk Management — Principles and guidelines and, in all cases, with a minimum frequency of one audit per year.

▼M3

If the approval authority is not satisfied with the auditing procedure of the manufacturer, physical test shall directly be carried out on production vehicles as described in points 4.2 to 4.7.

▼B

4.1.6. The normal frequency of physical test verifications by the Approval Authority shall be based on the results of the auditing procedure of the manufacturer on a risk assessment methodology and in all cases with a minimum frequency of one verification test per three years. ►M3 The approval authority shall conduct these physical emission tests and OBD tests on production vehicles as described in points 4.2 to 4.7. ◄

In the case of the manufacturer running the physical tests, the Approval Authority shall witness the tests at the manufacturer's facility.

4.1.7. The Approval Authority shall report the results of all audit checks and physical tests performed on verifying conformity of the manufacturers and file it for a period of minimum 10 years. These reports should be available for other type approval authorities and the European Commission on request.

4.1.8. In case of non-conformity Article 30 of Directive 2007/46/EC shall apply.

4.2. Checking the conformity of the vehicle for a type 1 test

▼M3

4.2.1. The Type 1 test shall be carried out on production vehicles of a valid member of the COP family as described in point 4.1.3.1. The test results shall be the values after all corrections according to this Regulation are applied.

As regards CO2 emissions, the limit value shall be the value determined by the manufacturer for the selected vehicle in accordance with the interpolation methodology set out in Sub-Annex 7 of Annex XXI. The interpolation calculation shall be verified by the approval authority.

4.2.2. A sample of three vehicles shall be selected at random in the COP family. After selection by the approval authority, the manufacturer shall not undertake any adjustment to the vehicles selected.

4.2.3. The statistical method for calculating the test criteria is described in Appendix 1. The production of a COP family shall be deemed to not conform when a fail decision is reached for one or more of the pollutants and CO2 values, in accordance with the test criteria in Appendix 1. The production of a COP family shall be deemed to conform once a pass decision is reached for all the pollutants and CO2 values in accordance with the test criteria in Appendix 1. ▼B When a pass decision has been reached for one pollutant, that decision shall not be changed by any additional tests carried out to reach a decision for the other pollutants and CO2 values. If a pass decision is not reached for all the pollutants and CO2 values, a test shall be carried out on another vehicle, up to the maximum of 16 vehicles, and the procedure described in Appendix 1 for taking a pass or fail decision shall be repeated (see Figure I.4.2). Figure I.4.2

4.2.4. ▼M3 At the request of the manufacturer and with the acceptance of the approval authority, tests may be carried out on a vehicle of the COP family with a maximum of 15 000 km in order to establish measured evolution coefficients EvC for pollutants/CO2 for each COP family. The running-in procedure shall be conducted by the manufacturer, who shall not to make any adjustments to these vehicles. ▼B 4.2.4.1. In order to establish a measured evolution coefficient with a run-in vehicle the procedure shall be as follows: (a) the pollutants/CO2 shall be measured at a mileage of at most 80 km and at ‘x’ km of the first tested vehicle; (b) the evolution coefficient (EvC) of the pollutants/CO2 between 80 km and ‘x’ km shall be calculated as: (c) ▼M3 the other vehicles in the COP family shall not be run in, but their zero km emissions/EC/CO2 shall be multiplied by the evolution coefficient of the first run-in vehicle. In this case, the values to be taken for testing as in Appendix 1 shall be: ▼B (i) the values at ‘x’ km for the first vehicle; (ii) the values at zero km multiplied by the relevant evolution coefficient for the other vehicles. 4.2.4.2. All these tests shall be conducted with commercial fuel. However, at the manufacturer’s request, the reference fuels described in Annex IX may be used. 4.2.4.3. When checking the conformity of production for CO2, as an alternative to the procedure mentioned in Section 4.2.4.1 the vehicle manufacturer may use a fixed evolution coefficient EvC of 0,98 and multiply all values of CO2 measured at zero km by this factor.

4.2.5 Tests for conformity of production of vehicles fuelled by LPG or NG/biomethane may be performed with a commercial fuel of which the C3/C4 ratio lies between those of the reference fuels in the case of LPG, or of one of the high or low caloric fuels in the case of NG/biomethane. In all cases a fuel analysis shall be presented to the approval authority.
