conformity family in order to ensure compliance with paragraph 9.3. of this Regulation. The granting type approval authority shall complete the statistical procedure for each ISC family it has started within 12 months.
Type 4 or Type 6 ISC tests shall have no minimum frequency requirements.
           5.5. Funding for ISC testing by the granting type approval authorities
The granting type approval authority shall ensure that sufficient resources are available to cover the costs for in-service conformity testing. Without prejudice to national law, those costs shall be recovered by fees that can be levied on the manufacturer by the granting type approval authority. Such fees shall cover ISC testing of up to 5 per cent of the in-service conformity families per manufacturer per year or at least two ISC families per manufacturer per year.
           5.6. Testing plan
When performing testing for ISC, the granting type approval authority shall draft a testing plan. In the case of RDE testing, that plan shall include testing to check ISC compliance under a wide range of conditions in accordance with UN Regulation No. 168 on RDE.
           5.7. Selection of vehicles for ISC testing
The information gathered shall be sufficiently comprehensive to ensure that in-service performance can be assessed for vehicles that are properly maintained and used. The tables in Appendix 1 shall be used to decide whether the vehicle can be selected for the purposes of ISC testing. During the check against the tables in Appendix 1, some vehicles may be declared as faulty and not tested during ISC, when there is evidence that parts of the emission control system were damaged.
The same vehicle may be used to perform and establish reports from more than one type of tests (Type 1, RDE, Type 4, Type 6) but only the first valid test of each type shall be taken into account for the statistical procedure.
           5.7.1. General requirements
The vehicle shall belong to an ISC family as described in paragraph 3 and shall comply with the checks set out in the table in Appendix 1. It shall be registered in the Contracting Party and have been driven in the Contracting Party for at least 90 per cent of its driving time. The emissions testing may be done in a different geographical region from that where the vehicles have been selected. In case of ISC testing conducted by the manufacturer, with the agreement of the granting type approval authority, vehicles registered in a non-Contracting Party may be tested, if they belong to the same ISC family and are accompanied by a certificate of conformity defined in the 1958 Agreement, Schedule 1 (E/ECE/TRANS/505/Rev.3).
The vehicles selected shall be accompanied by a maintenance record which shows that the
