        3.2.4.2. Where more than one vehicle meets the condition of this paragraph, and the administrative department determines that the excess emission is due to the same cause, the manufacturer shall be informed that the sample is regarded as having failed, together with the reasons for that decision, and the plan of remedial measures outlined in paragraph 6. of Appendix 3 applies.

        3.2.4.3. When only one vehicle meeting the conditions of this paragraph has been found, or when more than one vehicle has been found and the administrative department has determined that it is due to different causes, another vehicle is taken at random from the sample, unless the maximum sample size has already been reached.

        3.2.4.4. If the maximum sample size is reached and not more than one vehicle meeting the requirements of this paragraph has been found where the excess emission is due to the same cause, the sample is regarded as having passed with regard to the requirements of paragraph 3. of this Appendix.

        3.2.4.5. If, at any time, the initial sample has been exhausted, another vehicle is added to the initial sample and that vehicle is taken.

        3.2.4.6. Whenever another vehicle is taken from the sample, the statistical procedure of paragraph 4. of this Appendix is applied to the increased sample.

        3.2.5. Whenever a vehicle is not found to be an outlying emitter, another vehicle is taken at random from the sample.

        3.3.  When an outlying emitter is found, the cause of the excess emission shall be determined.

        3.4.  When more than one vehicle is found to be an outlying emitter, due to the same cause, the sample is regarded as having failed.

        3.5.  When only one outlying emitter has been found, or when more than one outlying emitter is found, but due to different causes, the sample is increased by one vehicle, unless the maximum sample size has already been reached.

        3.5.1.  When in the increased sample more than one vehicle is found to be an outlying emitter, due to the same cause, the sample is regarded as having failed.

        3.5.2.  When in the maximum sample size not more than one outlying emitter is found, where the excess emission is due to the same cause, the sample is regarded as having passed with regard to the requirements of paragraph 3. of this Appendix.

        3.6.  Whenever a sample is increased due to the requirements of paragraph 3.5., the statistical procedure of paragraph 4. below is applied to the increased sample.

        4.1. With a minimum sample size of three vehicles, the sampling procedure is set so that the probability of a batch passing
