Article 3Certification of CO2 savings
1
The type-approval authority shall ensure that CO2 savings achieved from the use of the innovative technology have been determined using the methodology set out in the Annex.
2
Where a manufacturer applies for the certification of the CO2 savings from more than one efficient exterior LED light referred to in Article 1 in relation to one vehicle version, the type approval authority shall determine which of the efficient exterior LED lighting tested delivers the lowest CO2 savings, and record the lowest value in the relevant type approval documentation. That value shall be used for the purpose of paragraph 4.
3
Where the innovative technology is fitted in a bi-fuel or flex-fuel vehicle, the approval authority shall record the CO2 savings as follows:
a
for bi-fuel vehicles using petrol and gaseous fuels, the CO2 savings value with regard to LPG or CNG fuels;
b
for flex-fuel vehicles using petrol and E85, the CO2 savings value with regard to petrol.
4
The type approval authority shall record the certified CO2 savings determined in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2, and the eco-innovation code referred to in Article 4(1) in the relevant type-approval documentation.
5
The type-approval authority shall record all the elements considered for the certification in a test report and keep that together with the verification report referred to in Article 2(2), and shall make that information available to the Commission on request.
6
The type-approval authority shall only certify CO2 savings, if it finds that the innovative technology complies with the conditions set out in Article 1, and if the CO2 savings achieved are 1 g CO2/km or higher, as specified in Article 9(1)(a) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 427/2014.
