is standardised.
3.10.16. "Standardised" means that all data stream information, including all fault codes used, shall be produced only in accordance with industry standards which, by virtue of the fact that their format and their permitted options are clearly defined, provide for a maximum level of harmonisation in the motor vehicle industry, and whose use is expressly permitted in this Regulation.
3.10.17. (Reserved)
3.10.18. "Deficiency" means, in respect of vehicle OBD systems, that components or systems that are monitored contain temporary or permanent operating characteristics that impair the otherwise efficient OBD monitoring of those components or systems or do not meet all of the other detailed requirements for OBD.
3.10.19. "Limp-home routines" means any default mode other than emission default mode.
              3.10.20. "Pending fault code" is a diagnostic trouble code stored upon the initial detection of a malfunction prior to illumination of the malfunction indicator.

              3.10.21. "Readiness" means a status indicating whether a monitor or a group of monitors have run since the last erasing by an external request or command (for example through an OBD scan-tool).

              3.11. Ambient Temperature Correction Test (Annex B6a)

              3.11.1. "Active heat storage device" means a technology that stores heat within any device of a vehicle and releases the heat to a powertrain component over a defined time period at engine start. It is characterised by the stored enthalpy in the system and the time for heat release to the powertrain components.

3.11.2. "Insulation materials" means any material in the engine compartment attached to the engine and/or the chassis with a thermal insulation effect and characterised by a maximum heat conductivity of 0.1 W/(mK).
4. Application for approval
4.1. The application for approval of a vehicle type with regard to the requirements of this Regulation shall be submitted by the vehicle manufacturer or by their authorized representative to the Type Approval Authority.
4.1.1. The application referred to in paragraph 4.1. shall be drawn up in accordance with the model of the information document set out in Annex A1 to this Regulation.
4.1.2. In addition, the manufacturer shall submit the following information:
                  (a) In the case of vehicles equipped with positive ignition engines, a declaration by the manufacturer of the minimum percentage of misfires out of a total number of firing events that would either result in emissions exceeding the OBD thresholds given in paragraph 6.8.2., if that percentage of misfire had been present from the start of a Type 1 test as described in Annexes Part B to this Regulation, or that could lead to an exhaust catalyst, or catalysts, overheating prior to causing irreversible damage;

                  (b) Detailed written information fully describing the functional operation characteristics of the OBD system, including a listing of all
