may be carried out on a vehicle of the CoP family to establish derived run-in factors for criteria emissions, CO2 emissions and/or electric energy consumption according to the test procedure in Appendix 3.

              For Level 1B:

              At the request of the manufacturer and with the acceptance of the responsible authority, a run-in test procedure may be carried out on a vehicle of the CoP family to establish derived run-in factors for criteria emissions, fuel efficiency and/or electric energy consumption according to the test procedure in Appendix 3.

              8.2.4.2. For the application of derived run-in factors, the system odometer of the CoP test vehicle Dj shall preferably be within -10 km of the mileage at the start of the 1st test and +10 km of the mileage at the start of the 2nd test on the run-in test vehicle Di, prior to when it was run in.

              8.2.4.3. For Level 1A:

              At the option of the manufacturer, for CO2 emissions, in g/km an assigned run-in factor of 0.98 may be applied if the system odometer setting at the start of the CoP test is less than or equal to 80 km. If the assigned run-in factor for CO2 emissions is applied, no run-in factors shall be applied for criteria emissions and electric energy consumption.

              For Level 1B:

              At the option of the manufacturer, for fuel efficiency, in km/l, an assigned run-in factor of 1.02 may be applied if the system odometer setting at the start of the CoP test is less than or equal to 80 km. If the assigned run-in factor for fuel efficiency is applied, no run-in factors shall be applied for electric energy consumption.

              8.2.4.4. The run-in factor shall be applied to the CoP test result that is calculated according to Step 4c of Table A7/1 in Annex B7 or Step 4c in Table A8/5 of Annex B8.

              8.2.4.5. Test cell correction

              Only for Level 1B:

              In the case that a clear technical difference is observed, it is allowed to apply a test cell correction between the test equipment used for the type approval and the test equipment used for CoP. The test cell correction shall be recorded in the test report.

              8.2.5. Test fuel

              8.2.5.1. For the Type 4 test, the reference fuel shall be used in accordance with the specifications in paragraph 7. of Annex B3.

              For Level 1A:

              All remaining tests shall be conducted with commercial fuel. However, at the manufacturer's request, the reference fuels in accordance with the specifications in Annex B3 may be used for the Type 1 test.

              In the case that a fail decision for the accuracy of OBFCM is concluded based on tests conducted using commercial fuel, the tests shall
