package or on the vehicle described in the information package relating to the relevant extension.

         8.2.3.1. Checking the conformity of the vehicle for a Type I test.

         After selection by the authority, the manufacturer shall not undertake any adjustment to the vehicles selected.

         For hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), the tests shall be carried out under the conditions determined in Annex 14:

            – For OVC vehicles, the measurements of emissions of pollutants shall be carried out with the vehicle conditioned according to condition B of the Type I test for OVC hybrid vehicles.

            – For NOVC vehicles, the measurements of emissions of pollutants shall be carried out under the same conditions as in the Type I test for NOVC vehicles.

         8.2.3.1.1. Three vehicles are selected at random in the series and are tested as described in paragraph 5.3.1. The deterioration factors are used in the same way. The limit values are given in paragraph 5.3.1.4.

         8.2.3.1.1.1. In the case of periodically regenerating systems as defined in paragraph 2.20., the results shall be multiplied by the factors Ki obtained by the procedure specified in Annex 13 at the time when type approval was granted.

          At the request of the manufacturer, testing may be carried out immediately after a regeneration has been completed.

         8.2.3.1.2. If the authority is satisfied with the production standard deviation given by the manufacturer in accordance with paragraph 8.2.1. above, the tests are carried out according to Appendix 1.

         If the authority is not satisfied with the production standard deviation given by the manufacturer in accordance with paragraph 8.2.1. above, the tests are carried out according to Appendix 2.

         8.2.3.1.3. The production of a series is deemed to conform or not to conform on the basis of a sampling test of the vehicles once a pass decision is reached for all the pollutants or a fail decision is reached for one pollutant, according to the test criteria applied in the appropriate appendix.

         When a pass decision has been reached for one pollutant, that decision will not be changed by any additional tests carried out to reach a decision for the other pollutants.

         If no pass decision is reached for all the pollutants and no fail decision is reached for one pollutant, a test is carried out on another vehicle (see Figure 2 below).

         8.2.3.2. Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraph 3.1.1. of Annex 4, the tests will be carried out on vehicles coming straight off the production line.

         8.2.3.2.1. However, at the request of the manufacturer, the tests may be carried out on vehicles which have completed:

            – a maximum of 3,000 km for vehicles equipped with a positive-ignition engine, or

            – a maximum of 15,000 km for vehicles equipped
