shall be tested

                  (h) alternative to item (g) above, tests may be conducted using another protocol. The relevance for monitoring in-service functionality with such a test shall be stated and substantiated by manufacturer in conjunction with the type-approval process (sections 3 and 4 in Annex I to Directive 2005/55/EC).

             3.1.12. Records of indication from the OBD system.

             3.1.13. Record of experiences of the use of consumable reagent. Reports should detail, but not be limited to, operator experiences with the handling of filling, refilling and consumption of the reagent, and the conduct of the filling installations, and, specifically, the frequency of activation in-use of the temporary performance limiter and events of other defect instances, activation of the MI and the registering of a fault code relating to a lack of the consumable reagent.

             3.1.13.1. The manufacturer shall supply in-use and defect reports. The manufacturer shall report on warranty claims and their nature, and in-field indi- cations of activation/deactivation of the MI and the registering of a fault code relating to a lack of the consumable reagent and the activation/deactivation of the engine performance limiter (see section 6.5.5 of Annex I to Directive 2005/55/EC).

             3.2. The information gathered by the manufacturer must be sufficiently comprehensive to ensure that in-service performance can be assessed for normal conditions over the appropriate durability/useful life period defined in Article 3 of this Directive and in a way representative of the manu- facturer's geographic penetration.

             3.3. The manufacturer may whish to run in-service monitoring comprising fewer engines/vehicles than the number given in section 3.1.11.5, item (g), and using a procedure defined under section 3.1.11.5, item (h). The reason could be that the engines in the engine family(-ies) covered by the report are in a small number. The conditions should have been agreed on beforehand by the type-approval authority.

             3.4. On the basis of the monitoring report referred to in this section, the type-approval authority must either:

                -          decide that the in-service conformity of an engine type or an engine family is satisfactory and not to take any further action

                -          decide that the data provided by the manufacturer is insufficient to reach a decision and request additional information and/or test data from the manufacturer. Where requested, and depending on the type-approval of the engine, such additional test data shall include ESC, ELR, and ETC test results, or from other proven procedures according to section 3.1.11.5, item (h)

                -          decide that the in-service conformity of an engine family is unsatisfactory and proceed to have confirmatory testing carried out on a sample of engines from the engine family, according to section 5 of this Annex.

             3.5. A Member State may conduct and report its' surveillance testing, based on the
