2 of this Regulation.
              8.2.2.3. The production of a series shall be 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 shall 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 shall be carried out on another vehicle (see Figure 2).

              8.2.3.  Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraph 5.3.1. of this Regulation, the tests shall be carried out on vehicles coming straight off the production line.
              8.2.3.1. However, at the request of the manufacturer, the tests may be carried out on vehicles which have completed:
                   (a) A maximum of 3,000 km for vehicles equipped with a positive ignition engine;
                   (b) A maximum of 15,000 km for vehicles equipped with a compression ignition engine.
                The running-in procedure shall be conducted by the manufacturer, who shall undertake not to make any adjustments to these vehicles.
              8.2.3.2. If the manufacturer wishes to run in the vehicles, ("x" km, where x ≤ 3,000 km for vehicles equipped with a positive ignition engine and x ≤ 15,000 km for vehicles equipped with a compression ignition engine), the procedure shall be the following:
                   (a) The pollutant emissions (Type I) shall be measured at zero and at "x" km on the first tested vehicle;
                   (b) The evolution coefficient of the emissions between zero and "x" km shall be calculated for each of the pollutant:
                     Emissions "x" km/Emissions zero km
                    This may be less than 1; and
                   (c) The other vehicles shall not be run in, but their zero km emissions shall be multiplied by the evolution coefficient.
                  In this case, the values to be taken shall be:
                  (i) The values at "x" km for the first vehicle;
                     (ii) The values at zero km multiplied by the evolution coefficient   for the other vehicles.
              8.2.3.3. All these tests shall be conducted with commercial fuel. However, at the manufacturer's request, the reference fuels described in Annex 10 or Annex 10a may be used.
              8.3.  Checking the conformity of the vehicle for a Type III test
              8.3.1.  If a Type III test is to be carried out, it shall be conducted on all vehicles selected for the Type I conformity of production test set out in paragraph 8.2. The conditions laid down in Annex 6 shall apply.
              8.4.  Checking the conformity of
