Audit of IUPR M 2.1. At the request of the approval authority, the manufacturer shall report to the type-approval authority on warranty claims, warranty repair works and OBD faults recorded at servicing, according to a format agreed at type-approval. The information shall detail the frequency and substance of faults for emissions-related components and systems. The reports shall be filed at least once in the vehicle's production cycle, for each vehicle model for the duration of 5 years of age or the distance as laid down in Annex VII(A) to Regulation (EU) No 168/2013, whichever is sooner. 2.2. Parameters defining IUPR family For defining the IUPR family the OBD family parameters listed in Appendix 5 shall be used. 2.3. Information requirements An audit of IUPR M will be conducted by the approval authority on the basis of information supplied by the manufacturer. Such information shall include in particular, the following: 2.3.1. The name and address of the manufacturer; 2.3.2. The name, address, telephone and fax numbers and e-mail address of his authorised representative within the areas covered by the manufacturer's information; 2.3.3.

(b) The percentage of selected vehicles, which have an IUPR M greater or equal to the minimum value applicable to the monitor in accordance with point 4.1.4. of Appendix 1. 3. Selection of vehicles for IUPR M 3.1. The manufacturer's sampling shall be drawn from at least two Member States with substantially different vehicle operating conditions (unless only made available on the market in one Member State). Factors such as differences in fuels, ambient conditions, average road speeds, and urban/highway driving split shall be taken into consideration in the selection of the Member States. For IUPR M testing, only vehicles fulfilling the criteria of point 2.3 of Appendix 4 shall be included in the test sample. 3.2. In selecting the Member States for sampling vehicles, the manufacturer may select vehicles from a Member State that is considered to be particularly representative. In this case, the manufacturer shall demonstrate to the approval authority which granted the type approval that the selection is representative (e.g. by the market having the largest annual sales of a vehicle family within the Union). When a family requires more than one sample lot to be tested as defined in point 3.3, the vehicles in the second and third sample lots shall reflect different vehicle operating conditions from those selected for the first sample. 3.3. Sample size 3.3.1. The number of sample lots shall depend on the annual sales volume of an OBD family in the Union, as defined in the following table: EU registrations per calendar year (for tailpipe emissions tests) of vehicles of an OBD family with IUPR in the sampling period Number of sample lots up to 100 000 1 100 001 to 200 000 2 above 200 000 3 3.3.2. For IUPR, the number of sample lots to be taken is described in the table in point 3.3.1. and is based on the number of vehicles of an IUPR family that are approved with IUPR For the first sampling period of an IUPR family, all of the vehicle types in the family that are approved with IUPR shall be considered to be subject to sampling. For subsequent sampling periods, only vehicle types which have not been previously tested or are covered by emissions approvals that have been extended since the previous sampling period shall be considered to be subject to sampling. For families consisting of fewer than 5 000 EU registrations that are subject to sampling within the sampling period the minimum number of vehicles in a sample lot is six. For all other families, the minimum number of vehicles in a sample lot to be sampled is fifteen. Each sample lot shall adequately represent the sales pattern, i.e. at least high volume vehicle types (≥ 20 % of the family total) shall be represented. Vehicles of small series productions with less than 1 000 vehicles per OBD family are exempted from minimum IUPR requirements as well as the requirement to demonstrate these to the type approval authority. 4. On the basis of the audit referred to in Section 2 the approval authority shall adopt one of the following decisions and actions: (a) decide that the IUPR family is satisfactory and not take any further action; (b) decide that the data provided by the manufacturer is insufficient to reach a decision and request additional information or test data from the manufacturer; (c) decide that based on data from the approval authority or Member State surveillance testing programmes, that information provided by the manufacturer is insufficient to reach a decision and request additional information or test data from the manufacturer; (d) decide that the outcome of the audit for the IUPR family is unsatisfactory and proceed to have such vehicle type or IUPR family tested in accordance with Appendix 1. If according to the IUPR M audit the test criteria of point 3.2. of Appendix 4 are met for the vehicles in a sample lot, the type-approval authority must take the further action described in point (d) of this point. 4.1. The approval authority, in cooperation with the manufacturer, shall select a sample of vehicles with sufficient mileage whose use under normal conditions can be reasonably assured. The manufacturer shall be consulted on the choice of the vehicles in the sample and allowed to attend the confirmatory checks of the vehicles. Appendix 4 Selecting criteria for vehicles with respect to in-use-performance ratios 1. Introduction 1.1. This Appendix sets out the criteria referred to in Section 4 of Appendix 1 to this annex regarding the selection of vehicles for testing and the procedures for IUPR M. 2. Selection criteria The criteria for acceptance of a selected vehicle are defined for IUPR M in Sections 2.1. to 2.5. 2.1. The vehicle shall belong to a vehicle type that is type-approved under this Regulation and covered by a certificate of conformity in accordance with Implementing Regulation (EU) No 901/2014 (3). For checking of IUPR M, the vehicle shall be approved to the OBD standard stage II or later. It shall be registered and have been used in the Union. 2.2. The vehicle shall have been in service for at least 3 000 km or 6 months, whichever is the later, and for no more than the durability mileages given for the relevant vehicles category mentioned in Annex VII(A) to Regulation (EU) No 168/2013 or 5 years, whichever is the sooner. 2.3. For checking IUPR M, the test sample shall include only vehicles that: (a) have collected sufficient vehicle operation data for the monitor to be tested. For monitors required to meet the in-use monitor performance ratio and to track and report ratio data pursuant to point 4.6.1. of Appendix 1, sufficient vehicle operation data shall mean the denominator meets the criteria set forth below. The denominator, as defined in points 4.3 and 4.5 of Appendix 1, for the monitor to be tested must have a value equal to or greater than one of the following values: (i) 15 for evaporative system monitors, secondary air system monitors, and monitors utilising a denominator incremented in accordance with point 4.3.2. of Appendix 1 (e.g. cold start monitors, air conditioning system monitors, etc.); or (ii) 5 for particulate filter monitors and oxidation catalyst monitors utilising a denominator incremented in accordance with point 4.3.2. of Appendix 1; or (iii) 30 for catalyst, oxygen sensor, EGR, VVT, and all other component monitors. (b) have not been tampered with or equipped with add-on or modified parts that would cause the OBD system not to comply with the requirements of Annex XII. 2.3. If any service has taken place, it shall be to the manufacturer's recommended service intervals. 2.4. The vehicle shall exhibit no indications of abuse (e.g. racing, overloading, mis-fuelling, or other misuse), or other factors (e. g. tampering) that could affect emission performance. The fault code and mileage information stored in the computer shall be taken into account. A vehicle shall not be selected for testing if the information stored in the computer shows that the vehicle has operated after a fault code was stored and a relatively prompt repair was not carried out. 2.5. There shall have been no unauthorised major repair to the engine or major repair of the vehicle. 3. Plan of remedial measures 3.1. The type approval authority shall request the manufacturer to submit a plan of remedial measures to remedy the non-compliance when: 3.2. For IUPRM of a particular monitor M the following statistical conditions are met in a test sample, the size of which is determined in accordance with point 3.3.1. of Appendix 3. For vehicles certified to a ratio of 0,1 in accordance with point 4.1.4. of Appendix 1, the data collected from the vehicles indicate for at least one monitor M in the test sample either that the test sample average in-use-performance ratio is less than 0,1 or that 66 per cent or more of the vehicles in the test sample have an in-use monitor performance ratio of less than 0,1. 3.3. The plan of remedial measures shall be filed with the type approval authority not later than 60 working days from the date of the notification referred to in point 3.1. The type approval authority shall within 30 working days declare its approval or disapproval of the plan of remedial measures. However, where the manufacturer can demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the competent type approval authority, that further time is required to investigate the non-compliance in order to submit a plan of remedial measures, an extension is granted. 3.4. The remedial measures shall apply to all vehicles likely to be affected by the same defect. The need to amend the type approval documents shall be assessed. 3.5. The manufacturer shall provide a copy of all communications related to the plan of remedial measures, and shall also maintain a record of the recall campaign, and supply regular status reports to the type approval authority. 3.6. The plan of remedial measures shall include the requirements specified in points 3.6.1. to 3.6.11. The manufacturer shall assign a unique identifying name or number to the plan of remedial measures. 3.6.1. A description of each vehicle type included in the plan of remedial measures. 3.6.2. A description of the specific modifications, alterations, repairs, corrections, adjustments, or other changes to be made to bring the vehicles into conformity including a brief summary of the data and technical studies which support the manufacturer's decision as to the particular measures to be taken to correct the non-conformity. 3.6.3. A description of the method by which the manufacturer informs the vehicle owners. 3.6.4. A description of the proper maintenance or use, if any, which the manufacturer stipulates as a condition of eligibility for repair under the plan of remedial measures, and an explanation of the manufacturer's reasons for imposing any such condition. No maintenance or use conditions may be imposed unless it is demonstrably related to the non-conformity and the remedial measures. 3.6.5. A description of the procedure to be followed by vehicle owners to obtain correction of the non-conformity. This shall include a date after which the remedial measures may be taken, the estimated time for the workshop to perform the repairs and where they can be done. The repair shall be done expediently, within a reasonable time after delivery of the vehicle. 3.6.6. A copy of the information transmitted to the vehicle owner. 3.6.7. A brief description of the system which the manufacturer uses to assure an adequate supply of component or systems for fulfilling the remedial action. It shall be indicated when there will be an adequate supply of components or systems to initiate the campaign. 3.6.8. A copy of all instructions to be sent to those persons who are to perform the repair. 3.6.9. A description of the impact of the proposed remedial measures on the emissions, fuel consumption, driveability, and safety of each vehicle type, covered by the plan of remedial measures with data, technical studies, etc. which support these conclusions. 3.6.10. Any other information, reports or data the type approval authority may reasonably determine is necessary to evaluate the plan of remedial measures. 3.6.11. Where the plan of remedial measures includes a recall, a description of the method for recording the repair shall be submitted to the type approval authority. If a label is used, an example of it shall be submitted. 3.7. The manufacturer may be required to conduct reasonably designed and necessary tests on components and vehicles incorporating a proposed change, repair, or modification to demonstrate the effectiveness of the change, repair, or modification. 3.8. The manufacturer is responsible for keeping a record of every vehicle recalled and repaired and the workshop which performed the repair. The type approval authority shall have access to the record on request for a period of 5 years from the implementation of the plan of remedial measures. 3.9. The repair and/or modification or addition of new equipment shall be recorded in a certificate supplied by the manufacturer to the vehicle owner. Appendix 5 On-board diagnostics family 1.
