3.3.2. Evaluation of fuel efficiency and electric energy consumption
              For Level 1B only:

              3.3.2.1. For the evaluation of FE (Fuel Efficiency in km/L) the following provisions apply:

              (a) If 3 ≤ N_Evaluation ≤ 10

                  (i) Pass the family if

                  (ii) Take another measurement if

              (b) If N = 11

                  (i) Pass the family if all the following decisions can be reached

                     a.

                     b.

                     c.

                  (ii) Fail the family if one of the following decisions can be reached

                     a.

                     b.

                     c.

              where:

                         N_Evaluation is the total number of vehicle tested during the applicable evaluation

                         N_CoP family is the total number of vehicle tested in the CoP family during the year

              (e.g. If the total number of vehicles tested for the first evaluation is 11 and the total number of vehicles tested for the second evaluation is 4, N_ Evaluation=4 and N_CoP family=15)

              In any case, if N_CoP family > 10,  shall be satisfied.

              3.3.2.2. For the evaluation of EC (Electric consumption in Wh/km) the following provisions apply:

              (a) If 3 ≤ N_Evaluation ≤ 10

                  (i) Pass the family if

                  (ii) Take another measurement if

              (b) If N = 11

                  (i) Pass the family if all the following decisions can be reached

                     a.

                     b.

                     c.

                  (ii) Fail the family if one of the following decisions can be reached

                     a.

                     b.

                     c.

              where:

                         N_Evaluation is the total number of vehicle tested during the applicable evaluation

                         N_CoP family is the total number of vehicle tested in the CoP family during the year

              (e.g. If the vehicle tested for the first evaluation is 11 and the vehicle tested for the second evaluation is 4, N_ Evaluation=4 and N_CoP family=15)

              In any case, if N_CoP family > 10,  shall be satisfied.

              3.3.2.3. If the number of vehicles produced within the CoP family exceeds 7,500 vehicles per 12 months, for the second or later evaluation, "a. If 3 ≤ N_Evaluation ≤ 10" may be replaced by "a. If N_Evaluation = 3" and "b. If N_Evaluation = 11" may be replaced by "b. If N_Evaluation = 4". For the second or later year, this provision shall not be used for the first evaluation for the CoP family in the year.

               shall be determined from the test result of first 10 tested vehicles after start of production for each CoP family. shall not be changed once σ is determined for the CoP family even for the second or later years. At the request of the manufacturer and with the approval of the responsible authority, and with reasonable evidence and appropriate data,  may be changed.

              3.4. For Level 1A only:

               For vehicles referred to in paragraph 5.11. of this Regulation the conformity of production of
