be expressed in Watt hours per kilometre (Wh/km), rounded to the nearest whole number.

        5.4.6. The technical service in charge of the tests conducts the measurement of the electric range of the vehicle according to the method described in Annex 9 to this Regulation.  The result shall be expressed in km, rounded to the nearest whole number.

         The electric range measured by this method is the only one which may be included in sales promotional material and which may be used for the calculations of Annex 8.
5.5. Interpretation of results

        5.5.1. The CO2 value or the value of electric energy consumption adopted as the type approval value shall be the value declared by the manufacturer if the value measured by the technical service does not exceed the declared value by more than 4 per cent.  The measured value can be lower without any limitations.

         In the case of vehicles powered by an internal combustion engine only which are equipped with periodically regenerating systems as defined in paragraph 2.19., the results are multiplied by the factor Ki obtained from Annex 10 before being compared to the declared value.

        5.5.2. If the measured value of CO2 or electric energy consumption exceeds the manufacturer's declared CO2 or electric energy consumption value by more than 4 per cent, then another test is run on the same vehicle.

         When the average of the two test results does not exceed the manufacturer's declared value by more than 4 per cent, then the value declared by the manufacturer is taken as the type approval value.

        5.5.3. If the average still exceeds the declared value by more than 4 per cent, a final test is run on the same vehicle.  The average of the three test results is taken as the type approval value.

        6. MODIFICATION AND EXTENSION OF APPROVAL OF THE APPROVED TYPE

        6.1. Every modification of the approved type shall be notified to the administrative department which approved the type.  The department may then either:

        6.1.1. Consider that the modifications made are unlikely to have an appreciable adverse effect on the values of CO2 and fuel consumption or electric energy consumption and that, in this case, the original approval will be valid for the modified vehicle type; or

        6.1.2. Require a further test report from the technical service responsible for conducting the tests according to conditions in paragraph 7. of this Regulation.

        6.2. Confirmation or extension of approval, specifying the alterations, shall be communicated by the procedure specified in paragraph 4.3. to the Parties to the 1958 Agreement applying this Regulation.

        6.3. The competent authority which grants the extension of the approval shall assign a series number for such an extension and inform thereof the
