ANNEX XI EC TYPE-APPROVAL OF REPLACEMENT POLLUTION CONTROL DEVICES AS SEPARATE TECHNICAL UNIT

5. CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION

5.1. Measures to ensure the conformity of production shall be taken in accordance with Article 12 of Directive 2007/46/EC.

5.2. Special provisions

5.2.1. The checks referred to in Section 2.2 of Annex X to Directive 2007/46/EC shall include compliance with the characteristics as defined under ‘type of pollution control device’ in Article 2(8) of Regulation (EC) No 692/2008.

5.2.2. For the application of Article 12(2) of Directive 2007/46/EC, the tests described in Section 4.3 of this Annex (requirements regarding emissions) may be carried out. In this case, the holder of the approval may request, as an alternative, to use as a basis for comparison not the original equipment pollution control device, but the replacement pollution control device which was used during the type-approval tests (or another sample that has been proven to conform to the approved type). Emissions values measured with the sample under verification shall then on average not exceed by more than 15 % the mean values measured with the sample used for reference.
