              4.10.4.  When tested with a defective component in accordance with Appendix 1 of Annex 11, the OBD system malfunction indicator shall be activated. The OBD system malfunction indicator may also activate during this test at levels of emissions below the OBD threshold limits specified in Annex 11.
              4.10.5.  The manufacturer shall ensure that the OBD system complies with the requirements for in-use performance set out in paragraph 7. of Appendix 1 to Annex 11 of this Regulation under all reasonably foreseeable driving conditions.
              4.10.6.  In-use performance related data to be stored and reported by a vehicle's OBD system according to the provisions of item 7.6. of Appendix 1 to Annex 11 shall be made readily available by the manufacturer to national authorities and independent operators without any encryption.

  5.  Specifications and tests
                Small volume manufacturers
                As an alternative to the requirements of this paragraph, vehicle manufacturers whose world-wide annual production is less than 10,000 units may obtain approval on the basis of the corresponding technical requirements specified in the table below.
Legislative Act                                                                                                                                                                                                    Requirements
The California Code of Regulations, Title 13, paragraphs 1961(a) and 1961(b)(1)(C)(1) applicable to 2001 and later model year vehicles, 1968.1, 1968.2, 1968.5, 1976 and 1975, published by Barclay's Publishing.  Type approval shall be granted under the California Code of Regulations applicable to the most recent model year of light duty vehicle.

               The emissions tests for roadworthiness purposes set out in Annex 5 and the requirements for access to vehicle OBD information set out in paragraph 5. of Annex 11 shall still be required to obtain type approval with regard to emissions under this paragraph.
                The Approval Authority shall inform the other approval authorities of Contracting Parties of the circumstances of each type approval granted under this paragraph.

5.1.  General
              5.1.1.  The components liable to affect the emission of pollutants shall be so designed, constructed and assembled as to enable the vehicle, in normal use, despite the vibration to which they may be subjected, to comply with the provisions of this Regulation.
              5.1.2.  The technical measures taken by the manufacturer shall be such as to ensure that in conformity with the provisions of this Regulation, exhaust gas and evaporative emissions are effectively limited throughout the normal life of the vehicle and under normal conditions of use. This will include the security of those hoses and their joints and connections, used within the emission control systems, which shall be so constructed as to conform with the original design intent. For exhaust emissions, these provisions are deemed to be met if the provisions of paragraphs 5.3.1.4. and 8.2.3.1. respectively are complied with.
