5. Annex IX is amended as follows:

(a) Point 1.2.1, is replaced by the following:

‘1.2.1. ESAs may comply with the requirements of any combination of the following test methods at the
manufacturer's discretion provided that this results in the full frequency range specified in paragraph 3.1
of this Annex being covered.

laboratory accredited to the applicable parts of ISO 17025: 1st edition 1999 and recognised by the Approval
Authority, the Technical Service may choose a reduced number of spot frequencies in the range, e.g. 27, 45,

edition 1995.

— The injection probe shall be positioned at a distance of 150 mm from the ESA to be tested.
