Article 3 U.K. Certification of CO₂ savings

1. The [F1 Secretary of State] 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 [F2 Secretary of State] 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 [F3 Secretary of State] 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 [F4 Secretary of State] 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 [F5 Secretary of State] 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) F6 ....

6. The [F7 Secretary of State] shall only certify CO₂ savings, if [F8 the Secretary of State] 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.
