any part of the tested-device.
         6.9.2.2. For a high voltage REESS, the isolation resistance measured after the test in accordance with Annex 4B to this Regulation shall not be less than 100 Ω/Volt.
         6.10. Emission
         Possible emission of gases caused by the energy conversion process during normal use shall be considered.
         6.10.1. Open type traction batteries shall meet the requirements of paragraph 5.4. of this Regulation with regard to hydrogen emissions.
         Systems with a closed chemical process shall be considered as emission-free under normal operation (e.g. lithium-ion battery).
         The closed chemical process shall be described and documented by the battery manufacturer in Annex 6 - Part 2.
         Other technologies shall be evaluated by the manufacturer and the Technical Service regarding any possible emissions under normal operation.
         6.10.2. Acceptance criteria
         For hydrogen emissions see paragraph 5.4. of this Regulation.
         For emission free systems with closed chemical process no verification is necessary.
7. Modifications and extension of the type approval
         7.1. Every modification of the vehicle or REESS type with regard to this Regulation shall be notified to the Type Approval Authority which approved the vehicle or REESS type. The Authority may then either:
         7.1.1. Consider that the modifications made are unlikely to have an appreciable adverse effect and that in any case the vehicle or the REESS still complies with the requirements, or
         7.1.2. Require a further test report from the Technical Service responsible for conducting the tests.
         7.2. Confirmation or refusal of approval, specifying the alteration, shall be communicated by the procedure specified in paragraph 4.3. above to the Parties to the Agreement applying this Regulation.
         7.3. The Type Approval Authority issuing the extension of approval shall assign a series number to each communication form drawn up for such an extension and inform thereof the other Parties to the 1958 Agreement applying the Regulation by means of a communication form conforming to the model in Annex 1 (Part 1 or Part 2) to this Regulation.
8. Conformity of production
         8.1. Vehicles or REESS approved under this Regulation shall be so manufactured as to conform to the type approved by meeting the requirements of the relevant part(s) of this Regulation.
         8.2. In order to verify that the requirements of paragraph 8.1. are met, appropriate production checks shall be carried out.
         8.3. The holder of the approval shall, in particular:
         8.3.1. Ensure the existence of procedures for the effective quality control of vehicles or REESS;
         8.3.2. Have access to the testing equipment necessary for checking the conformity of each approved type;
         8.3.3. Ensure that test result data are recorded and that the annexed documents remain available for a period to be determined in agreement with the Type Approval Authority;
         8.3.4. Analyse the
