Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/1222 of 24 August 2020 on the approval of efficient vehicle exterior lighting using light emitting diodes as an innovative technology for reducing CO2 emissions from internal combustion engine powered light commercial vehicles with regard to NEDC conditions pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council (Text with EEA relevance) (c. 1222)

ANNEX U.K. Methodology to determine the CO₂ savings of Efficient Exterior LED Lighting under NEDC for use in light commercial vehicles

6. CHECK AGAINST THE MINIMUM CO₂ SAVINGS THRESHOLD U.K.

The type-approval authority shall ensure for each type, variant and version of a vehicle fitted with the efficient exterior LED lights that the minimum threshold criterion as specified in Article 9(1)(a) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 427/2014 is met.

When verifying whether the minimum threshold criterion is met, the type-approval authority shall take into account, in accordance with Formula 9, the CO₂ savings determined in point 3 and the uncertainty determined in point 4.

Formula 9

where,

MT

is the minimum threshold equal to 1 g CO₂/km

is the CO₂ savings [g CO₂/km] as defined in point 3

is the uncertainty of the CO₂ savings calculated in accordance with point 4 [g CO₂/km].
