described in point (b) of Appendix 3a to Annex 1, provided by the manufacturer. The type approval authority shall make the assessment in accordance with the methodology described in Appendix 3b to Annex 1. The type approval authority may deviate from that methodology in exceptional and duly justified cases.
              3.4.6. The preliminary assessment of the AES for new vehicle types shall remain valid for the purposes of type approval for a period of 18 months. That period may be extended by a further 12 months if the manufacturer provides to the type approval authority proof that no new technologies have become accessible in the market that would change the preliminary assessment of the AES.
              3.4.7. The type approval authority may test the functioning of AES.
              3.4.8. A list of AES which were deemed non-acceptable by type approval authorities shall be compiled yearly by a Contracting Party on request of a regional authority.
              3.4.9. The manufacturer shall also provide to the type approval authorities a formal documentation package, as in Appendix 3a to Annex 1, containing information on AES/BES that would allow an independent tester to identify if the emissions measured can be attributed to an AES or BES strategy or are potentially due to a defeat device. The formal documentation package shall be made available upon request.
              3.4.10. Vehicles of category M1 or N1 shall be approved with emission characters EA, EB or EC as specified in Table A3/1, Annex 3, taking into account the utility factors determined in accordance with the values specified in Table A8.App5/1 of paragraph 3.2. of Annex B8 to UN Regulation No. 154.
              3.5. The manufacturer shall also provide the type approval authority which granted the emission type approval under this Regulation ('granting type approval authority') with a package on testing transparency containing the necessary information in order to allow the performance of testing in accordance with paragraph 5.9. of Annex 4.
              4. Approval
              4.1. If the vehicle type submitted for approval following this amendment meets the requirements of paragraph 5. of this Regulation, approval of that vehicle type shall be granted.
              4.2. An approval number shall be assigned to each type approved.
              4.2.1. The type approval number shall consist of four sections. Each section shall be separated by the '*' character.
                     Section 1: The capital letter 'E' followed by the distinguishing number of the Contracting Party which has granted the type approval[2].
                     Section 2: The number 83, followed by the letter 'R', successively followed by:
                         (a) Two digits (with leading zeros as applicable) indicating the series of amendments incorporating the technical provisions of the UN Regulation applied to the approval (00 for the UN Regulation in its original form);
                         (b) A slash (/) and
