8.3.
The addition by a vehicle manufacturer to an approved vehicle of standard domestic or business equipment, other than mobile communication equipment, which conforms to other Regulations, and the installation, substitution or removal of which is according to the recommendations of the equipment and vehicle manufacturers, shall not invalidate the vehicle approval.
This shall not preclude vehicle manufacturers fitting communication equipment in accordance with suitable installation guidelines developed by the vehicle manufacturer and/or manufacturer(s) of such communication equipment.
The vehicle manufacturer shall provide evidence (if requested by the test authority) that vehicle performance is not adversely affected by such transmitters.
This can be a statement that the power levels and installation are such that the immunity levels of this Regulation offer sufficient protection when subject to transmission alone i.e. excluding transmission in conjunction with the tests specified in paragraph 6.
This Regulation does not authorize the use of a communication transmitter when other requirements on such equipment or its use apply.

Conformity of production The conformity of production procedures shall comply with those set out in the Agreement, Appendix 2 (E/ECE/324-E/ECE/TRANS/505/Rev.2), with the following requirements:
9.1.
Vehicles or components or ESAs approved under this Regulation shall be so manufactured as to conform to the type approved by meeting the requirements set forth in paragraph 6. and, if applicable, in paragraph 7. above.
9.2.
Conformity of production of the vehicle or component or separate technical unit shall be checked on the basis of the data contained in the communication form(s) for type approval set out in Annex 3A and/or 3B to this Regulation.
9.3.
If the Type Approval Authority is not satisfied with the checking procedure of the manufacturer, then paragraphs 9.3.1., 9.3.2. and 9.3.3. below shall apply.
9.3.1.
When the conformity of a vehicle, component or ESA taken from the series is being verified, production shall be deemed to conform to the requirements of this Regulation in relation to broadband electrom­ agnetic disturbances and narrowband electromagnetic disturbances if the levels measured do not exceed by more than 4 dB (60 per cent) the reference limits prescribed in paragraphs 6.2.2.1., 6.2.2.2., 6.3.2.1., 6.3.2.2. and, if applicable, paragraphs 7.2.2.1. and 7.2.2.2. for vehicles and paragraphs 6.5.2.1., 6.6.2.1., and, if applicable, paragraph 7.10.2.1. above for ESAs (as appropriate).
9.3.2.
When the conformity of a vehicle, component or ESA taken from the series is being verified, production shall be deemed to conform to the requirements of this Regulation in relation to immunity to electrom­ agnetic radiation if the vehicle ESA does not exhibit any degradation relating to the direct control of the vehicle which could be observed by the driver or other road user when the vehicle is in the state defined in Annex 6, paragraph 4., and is subjected to a field strength, expressed in Volts/m, up to 80 per cent of the reference limits prescribed in paragraph 6.4.2.1., and, if applicable, paragraph 7.7.2.1. for vehicles and paragraph 6.8.2.1. and, if applicable, paragraph 7.18.2.1. for ESAs above.
9.3.3.
If the conformity of a component, or Separate Technical Unit (STU) taken from the series is being verified, production shall be deemed to conform to the requirements of this Regulation in relation to immunity to conducted disturbances and emission if the component or STU shows no degradation of performance of ‘immunity related functions’ up to levels given in paragraph 6.9.1. and, if applicable, paragraph 7.19.1., and does not exceed the levels given in paragraph 6.7.1. and, if applicable, paragraph 7.17.1. above.
10.
Penalties for non-conformity of production
10.1.
The approval granted in respect of a type of vehicle, component or separate technical unit pursuant to this Regulation may be withdrawn if the requirements laid down in paragraph 6. and, if applicable, paragraph 7. above are not complied with or if the selected vehicles fail to pass the tests provided for in paragraph 6. and, if applicable, paragraph 7. above.
10.2.
If a Party to the Agreement which applies this Regulation withdraws an approval it has previously granted, it shall forthwith notify the other Contracting Parties applying this Regulation thereof by means of a communication form conforming to the model in Annexes 3A and 3B to this Regulation.
11.
Production definitively discontinued If the holder of an approval permanently ceases to manufacture a type of vehicle or ESA approved in accordance with this Regulation, he shall so inform the Type Approval Authority which granted the
