type-approval are given in section 6.1.5 of Annex I to Directive 2001/27/EC.

         Until the 8 November 2006, the existing approval certificate number will remain valid. In case of extension, only the sequential num- ber to denote the extension base approval number will change as follows:

     Example for the second extension of the fourth approval corresponding to application date A, issued by Germany:

e1*88/77*2001/27A*0004*02

         6.1.10.         Provisions for electronic system security

         6.1.10.1.     Any vehicle with an Emission Control Unit must include features to deter modification, except as authorised by the manufacturer. The manufacturer shall authorise modifications if these modifications are necessary for the diagnosis, servicing, inspection, retrofit- ting or repair of the vehicle. Any reprogrammable computer codes or operating parameters must be resistant to tampering and afford a level of protection at least as good as the provisions in ISO 15031-7 (SAE J2186) provided that the security exchange is conducted using the protocols and diagnostic connector as prescribed in section 6 of Annex IV to Directive 2005/78/EC. Any removable cali- bration memory chips must be potted, encased in a sealed container or protected by electronic algorithms and must not be change- able without the use of specialised tools and procedures.

         6.1.10.2.     Computer-coded engine operating parameters must not be changeable without the use of specialised tools and procedures (e.g. sol- dered or potted computer components or sealed (or soldered) computer enclosures).

         6.1.10.3.     Manufacturers must take adequate steps to protect the maximum fuel delivery setting from tampering while a vehicle is in-service.

         6.1.10.4.     Manufacturers may apply to the approval authority for an exemption from one of these requirements for those vehicles that are unlikely to require protection. The criteria that the approval authority will evaluate in considering an exemption will include, but are not limited to, the current availability of performance chips, the high-performance capability of the vehicle and the projected sales volume of the vehicle.

         6.1.10.5.     Manufacturers using programmable computer code systems (e.g. electrical erasable programmable read-only memory, EEPROM) must deter unauthorised reprogramming. Manufacturers must include enhanced tamper-protection strategies and write protect features requiring electronic access to an off-site computer maintained by the manufacturer. Alternative methods giving an equivalent level of tamper protection may be approved by the authority.

    (*) The Commission will determine whether specific measures regarding multi-setting engines need to be laid down in this Directive at the same time as a proposal addressing the requirements of Article 10 of this Directive.
(**) Up to 1 October 2008, the following applies: "an ambient temperature within the range 279 K to 303 K (6 °C to 30 °C)".
    (***) This temperature range will be reconsidered as part of the review of this Directive with special emphasis on the appropriateness of the lower
