catalytic converters (position and dimension in the exhaust system, that does not produce a temperature variation of more than 50 K at the inlet of the catalytic converter).

            This temperature variation shall be checked under stabilised conditions at a speed of 120 km/h and the load setting of Type I test.

                           Air injection: with or without

    type (pulsair, air pumps,...).

            Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR):       with or without.

         7.3.1.3.  Inertia category: the two inertia categories immediately above and any inertia category below.

         7.3.1.4.  The durability test may be achieved by using a vehicle, the body style, gear box (automatic or manual) and size of the wheels or tyres of which are different from those of the vehicle type for which the type approval is sought.

         7.4.  On-board diagnostics

         7.4.1. Approval granted to a vehicle type with respect to the OBD system may be extended to different vehicle types belonging to the same vehicle-OBD family as described in Annex 11, Appendix 2. The engine emission control system shall be identical to that of the vehicle already approved and comply with the description of the OBD engine family given in Annex 11, Appendix 2, regardless of the following vehicle characteristics:

             engine accessories,

             tyres,

             equivalent inertia,

             cooling system,

             overall gear ratio,

             transmission type,

             type of bodywork.

         8.  CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION (COP)

         8.1. Every vehicle bearing an approval mark as prescribed under this Regulation shall conform, with regard to components affecting the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants by the engine, emissions from the crankcase and evaporative emissions, to the vehicle type approved. The conformity of production procedures shall comply with those set out in the 1958 Agreement, Appendix 2 (E/ECE/324-E/ECE/TRANS/505/Rev.2), with the following requirements:

         8.2. As a general rule, conformity of production with regard to limitation of emissions from the vehicle (test Types I, II, III and IV) is checked based on the description given in the communication form and its Annexes.

         Conformity of in-service vehicles

         With reference to type approvals granted for emissions, these measures shall also be appropriate for confirming the functionality of the emission control devices during the normal useful life of the vehicles under normal conditions of use (conformity of in-service vehicles properly maintained and used). For the purpose of this Regulation these measures shall be checked for a period of up to 5 years of age or 80,000 km, whichever is the sooner, and from 1 January 2005, for a period of up to five years of age or 100,000 km, whichever is the sooner.

         8.2.1. Audit of in-service conformity by the administrative department is conducted on the basis of any relevant information that the manufacturer has, under procedures similar to those defined in Appendix 2 of the 1958
