            7.6.   Approval of vehicles of category N1 within a family, if powered by an internal combustion engine only or by a hybrid electric power train
      Vehicles of category N1 can be approved within a family as defined in paragraph 7.6.1. using one of the two alternative methods described in paragraphs 7.6.2. and 7.6.3.

            7.6.2.   A vehicle family, as defined in paragraph 7.6.1., can be approved with CO2 emission and fuel consumption data that are common to all members of the family. The technical service must select for testing the member of the family which the service considers to have the highest CO2 emission. The measurements are performed as described in paragraph 5. and Annex 6, and the results according to the method described in paragraph 5.5. are used as type-approval values that are common to all members of the family.
      7.6.3.   Vehicles that are grouped in a family as defined in paragraph 7.6.1. can be approved with individual CO2 emission and fuel consumption data for each of the family members. The technical service selects for testing the two vehicles, which the service considers to have the highest and the lowest CO2 emissions respectively. The measurements are performed as described in paragraph 5. and Annex 6. If the manufacturer's data for these two vehicles falls within the tolerance limits described in paragraph 5.5., the CO2 emissions declared by the manufacturer for all members of the vehicle family can be used as type-approval values. If the manufacturer's data do not fall within the tolerance limits, the results according to the method described in paragraph 5.5. are used as type-approval values and the technical service shall select an appropriate number of other family members for additional tests.’
