ANNEX III

CONFORMITY OF IN-SERVICE VEHICLES/ENGINES

           1. GENERAL

             1.1. With reference to type-approvals granted for emissions, measures are appropriate for confirming the functionality of the emission control devices during the useful life of an engine installed in a vehicle under normal conditions of use (conformity of in-service vehicles/engines properly main- tained and used).

             1.2. For the purpose of this Directive these measures must be checked over a period corresponding to the appropriate useful life period defined in Article 3 of this Directive for vehicles or engines which are type-approved to either row B1, row B2 or row C of the tables in section 6.2.1 of Annex I to Directive 2005/55/EC.

             1.3. The checking of conformity of in-service vehicles/engines is done on the basis of information provided by the manufacturer to the type-approval authority conducting an audit of the emissions-performance of a range of representative vehicles or engines of which the manufacturer holds the type-approval.

              Figures 1 in this Annex illustrates the procedure for in-service conformity checking.

         2.        PROCEDURES FOR AUDIT

             2.1. Audit of in-service conformity by the type-approval authority is conducted on the basis of any relevant information that the manufacturer has, under procedures similar to those defined in Article 10(1) and (2), and in sections 1 and 2 of Annex X to Directive 70/156/EEC.

              Alternatives are in-service monitoring reports supplied by the manufacturer, type approval authority surveillance testing and/or information on surveillance testing performed by a Member State. The procedures to be used are given in section 3.

         3.        AUDIT PROCEDURES

             3.1. An audit of in-service conformity will be conducted by the type-approval authority on the basis of information supplied by the manufacturer. The manufacturers' in-service monitoring (ISM) report should be based on in-use testing of engines or vehicles using proven and relevant testing protocols. Such information (the ISM report) must include, but is not limited to, the following (see sections 3.1.1 to 3.1.13):

             3.1.1. The name and address of the manufacturer.

             3.1.2. The name, address, telephone and fax numbers and e-mail address of his authorised representative within the areas covered by the manufac- turer's information.

             3.1.3. The model name(s) of the engines included in the manufacturer's information.

             3.1.4. Where appropriate, the list of engine types covered within the manufacturer's information, i.e. the engine-after-treatment system family.

             3.1.5 The vehicle identification number (VIN) codes applicable to the vehicles equipped with an engine that is part of the audit.
             3.1.6. The numbers of the type approvals applicable to the engine types within the in-service family, including, where applicable, the numbers of all extensions and field fixes/recalls (re-works):

             3.1.7. Details of extensions, field fixes/recalls to those type approvals for the engines
