For Ki tests undertaken under Appendix 1 to Sub-Annex VI to Annex XXI (WLTP), the type-approval shall be extended to vehicles if they conform to the criteria of paragraph 5.9. of Annex XXI.
For Ki tests undertaken under Annex 13 of UN/ECE Regulation No 83 (NEDC) the type-approval shall be extended to vehicles according to the requirements of Section 3.1.4. of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 692/2008.
The basic principle of fuel/air metering (e.g. single point injection) is the same.
The shape of the fuel tank and the material of the fuel tank and liquid fuel hoses are identical.
The worst-case vehicle with regard to the cross-section and approximate hose length shall be tested. Whether non-identical vapour/liquid separators are acceptable is decided by the technical service responsible for the type-approval tests.
The fuel tank volume is within a range of ± 10 %.
The setting of the fuel tank relief valve is identical.
The method of storage of the fuel vapour is identical, i.e. trap form and volume, storage medium, air cleaner (if used for evaporative emission control), etc.
The method of purging of the stored vapour is identical (e.g. air flow, start point or purge volume over the preconditioning cycle).
The method of sealing and venting of the fuel metering system is identical.
different engine sizes;
different engine powers;
automatic and manual gearboxes;
two and four wheel transmissions;
different body styles; and
different wheel and tyre sizes.
Inertia category: the two inertia categories immediately above and any inertia category below.
Total road load at 80 km/h: + 5 % above and any value below.
engine cylinder capacity (± 15 %),
number and control of valves,
fuel system,
type of cooling system,
combustion process.
Catalytic converters and particulate filters:

size of catalytic converters and filters (volume of monolith ± 10 %),
type of catalytic activity (oxidizing, three-way, lean NOx trap, SCR, lean NOx catalyst or other),
precious metal load (identical or higher),
precious metal type and ratio (± 15 %),
substrate (structure and material),
cell density,
temperature variation of no more than 50 K at the inlet of the catalytic converter or filter. This temperature variation shall be checked under stabilized conditions at a vehicle speed of 120 km/h and the load setting of the type 1 test.
Air injection:
with or without
type (pulsair, air pumps, other(s))
EGR:
with or without
type (cooled or non-cooled, active or passive control, high pressure or low pressure).
engine accessories;

equivalent inertia;
cooling system;
overall gear ratio;
transmission type; and
type of bodywork.
shall be determined where, at an engine speed of 1 000 min –1, V1 is the speed of the vehicle-type approved and V2 is the speed of the vehicle type for which extension of the approval is requested.
The type-approval shall be extended to vehicles with different reference masses and transmission ratios, provided that all the conditions prescribed in paragraphs 3.5.1 and 3.5.2 are fulfilled.
For the purpose of this regulation the Approval Authority shall perform audits for verifying the manufacturers arrangements and documented control plans at the premises of the manufacturer on a risk assessment methodology consistent with the international standard ISO 31000:2009 — Risk Management — Principles and guidelines and, in all cases, with a minimum frequency of one audit per year.
If the Approval Authority is not satisfied with the auditing procedure of the manufacturer, physical test shall directly be carried out on production vehicles as described in Sections 4.2 to 4.9.
In the case of the manufacturer running the physical tests, the Approval Authority shall witness the tests at the manufacturer's facility.
The production of a family shall be deemed to not conform when a fail decision is reached for one or more of the pollutants and CO2 values, according to the test criteria in Appendix 1.
The production of a family shall be deemed to conform once a pass decision is reached for all the pollutants and CO2 values according to the test criteria in Appendix 1.
When a pass decision has been reached for one pollutant, that decision shall not be changed by any additional tests carried out to reach a decision for the other pollutants and CO2 values.
If a pass decision is not reached for all the pollutants and CO2 values, a test shall be carried out on another vehicle, up to the maximum of 16 vehicles, and the procedure described in Appendix 1 for taking a pass or fail decision shall be repeated (see Figure I.4.2).
the pollutants/CO2 shall be measured at a mileage of at most 80 km and at ‘x’ km of the first tested vehicle;
the evolution coefficient (EvC) of the pollutants/CO2 between 80 km and ‘x’ km shall be calculated as:
the other vehicles in the interpolation family shall not be run in, but their zero km emissions/EC/CO2 shall be multiplied by the evolution coefficient of the first run-in vehicle. In this case, the values to be taken for testing as in Appendix 1 shall be:
the values at ‘x’ km for the first vehicle;
the values at zero km multiplied by the relevant evolution coefficient for the other vehicles.
The break-off criterion for the conformity of production procedure shall be reached with having finished the first applicable WLTP test cycle.
The end of the charge-depleting Type 1 test procedure for the conformity of production procedure shall be reached with having finished the first applicable WLTP test cycle.
When the approval authority determines that the quality of production seems unsatisfactory, a vehicle shall be randomly taken from the family and subjected to the tests described in Annex V.
The production shall be deemed to conform if this vehicle meets the requirements of the tests described in Annex V.
If the vehicle tested does not satisfy the requirements of Section 4.5.1.1, a further random sample of four vehicles shall be taken from the same family and subjected to the tests described in Annex V. The tests may be carried out on vehicles which have completed a maximum of 15 000 km with no modifications.
The production shall be deemed to conform if at least three vehicles meet the requirements of the tests described in Annex V.
When the approval authority determines that the quality of production seems unsatisfactory, a vehicle shall be randomly taken from the family and subjected to the tests described in Annex VI, or at least as in paragraph 7 of Annex 7 of UN Regulation 83.
The production shall be deemed to conform if this vehicle meets the requirements of the tests described in Annex VI, or paragraph 7 of Annex 7 of UN Regulation 83 depending on the test performed.
If the vehicle tested does not satisfy the requirements of section 4.6.1.1, a further random sample of four vehicles shall be taken from the same family and subjected to the tests described in Annex VI, or at least as in paragraph 7 of Annex 7 of UN Regulation 83. The tests may be carried out on vehicles which have completed a maximum of 15 000 km with no modifications.
The production shall be deemed to conform if at least three vehicles meet the requirements of the tests described in Annex VI, or paragraph 7 of Annex 7 of UN Regulation 83 depending on the test performed.
When the approval authority determines that the quality of production seems unsatisfactory, a vehicle shall be randomly taken from the family and subjected to the tests described in Appendix 1 to Annex XI.
The production shall be deemed to conform if this vehicle meets the requirements of the tests described in Appendix 1 to Annex XI.
If the vehicle tested does not satisfy the requirements of section 4.7.1.1, a further random sample of four vehicles shall be taken from the same family and subjected to the tests described in Appendix 1 to Annex XI. The tests may be carried out on vehicles which have completed a maximum of 15 000 km with no modifications.
The production shall be deemed to conform if at least three vehicles meet the requirements of the tests described in Appendix 1 to Annex XI.
