7. Conformity of the certified CO₂ emissions and fuel consumption related properties U.K.

7.1. Every transmission, torque converter (TC), other torque transferring components (OTTC) and additional driveline components (ADC) shall be so manufactured as to conform to the approved type with regard to the description as given in the certificate and its annexes. The conformity of the certified CO₂ emissions and fuel consumption related properties procedures shall comply with those set out in Article 12 of Directive 2007/46/EC. U.K.

7.2 Torque converter (TC), other torque transferring components (OTTC) and additional driveline components (ADC) shall be excluded from the production conformity testing provisions of section 8 to this annex. U.K.

7.3 Conformity of the certified CO₂ emissions and fuel consumption related properties shall be checked on the basis of the description in the certificates set out in Appendix 1 to this Annex. U.K.

7.4 Conformity of the certified CO₂ emissions and fuel consumption related properties shall be assessed in accordance with the specific conditions laid down in this paragraph. U.K.

7.5 The manufacturer shall test annually at least the number of transmissions indicated in Table 3 based on the total annual production number of the transmissions produced by the manufacturer. For the purpose of establishing the production numbers, only transmissions which fall under the requirements of this Regulation shall be considered. U.K.

7.6 Each transmission which is tested by the manufacturer shall be representative for a specific family. Notwithstanding provisions of the point 7.10., only one transmission per family shall be tested. U.K.

7.7 For the total annual production volumes between 1 001 and 10 000 transmissions, the choice of the family for which the tests shall be performed shall be agreed between the manufacturer and the approval authority. U.K.

7.8 For the total annual production volumes above 10 000 transmissions, the transmission family with the highest production volume shall always be tested. The manufacturer shall justify (ex. by showing sales numbers) to the approval authority the number of tests which has been performed and the choice of the families. The remaining families for which the tests are to be performed shall be agreed between the manufacturer and the approval authority. U.K.

Sample size conformity testing

Total annual production of transmissions	Number of tests
0 – 1 000	0
> 1 000-10 000	1
> 10 000-30 000	2
> 30 000	3
> 100 000	4

7.9. For the purpose of the conformity of the certified CO₂ emissions and fuel consumption related properties testing the approval authority shall identify together with the manufacturer the transmission type(s) to be tested. The approval authority shall ensure that the selected transmission type(s) is manufactured to the same standards as for serial production.. U.K.

7.10 If the result of a test performed in accordance with point 8 is higher than the one specified in point 8.1.3., 3 additional transmissions from the same family shall be tested. If at least one of them fails, provisions of Article 23 shall apply. U.K.
