characteristics of Annex 4 if the CO2 emissions and the electric energy consumption measured by the technical service do not exceed the type approved value by more than 4 per cent for vehicles of category M1 and 6 per cent for vehicles of category N1:

        7.4.1. Reference mass.

        7.4.2. Maximum authorized mass.

        7.4.3. Type of bodywork:
         (a) for M1:saloon, hatchback, station wagon, coupé, convertible, multipurpose  vehicle 4/
         (b) for N1:lorry, van.

        7.4.4. With respect to a change in any other characteristic extensions may be granted after agreement with the technical service responsible for conducting the tests.

        7.5. Extension of approval of vehicles of category N1 within a family, if powered by an internal combustion engine only or by a hybrid electric power train

        7.5.1. For vehicles of category N1 that are approved as members of a vehicle family using the procedure in paragraph 7.6.2., the type-approval can be extended to vehicles from within the same family only if the technical service estimates that the fuel consumption of the new vehicle does not exceed the fuel consumption of the vehicle on which the family's fuel consumption is based.

         Approvals may also be extended to vehicles which:
         (a) are up to 110 kg heavier than the family member tested, provided that they  are within 220 kg of the lightest member of the family,
         (b) have a lower overall transmission ratio than the family member tested due  solely to a change in tyre sizes, and
         (c) conform with the family in all other respects.

        7.5.2. For vehicles of category N1 that are approved as members of a vehicle family using the procedure in paragraph 7.6.3., the type-approval can be extended to vehicles from within the same family without additional testing only if the technical service estimates that the fuel consumption of the new vehicle falls within the limits made up of those two vehicles in the family that have the lowest and the highest fuel consumption, respectively.

        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.

        7.6.1. N1 vehicles may be grouped together into a family for the purposes of this Regulation if the following parameters are identical or within the specified limits:

        7.6.1.1. Identical parameters are:
         (a) manufacturer and type as defined in Annex 4, item 2.,
         (b) engine capacity,
         (c) emission control system type,
         (d) fuel system type as defined in Annex 4, item 6.7.2.

        7.6.1.2. The following parameters have to be within the following limits:
            (a)
