Otherwise, the model shall be considered not to comply.
For the purposes of checking conformity with the requirements, the authorities of the Member States shall use accurate and reliable state-of-the-art measurement methods which deliver reproducible results, including:
where available, harmonised standards the reference numbers of which have been published for that purpose in the Official Journal of the European Union in accordance with Articles 9 and 10 of Directive 2005/32/EC,
