    By a particular vehicle, it shall be understood a physical vehicle the VIN of which is clearly identified.

    However, any applicant may apply for EU individual vehicle approval in another Member State in respect of another particular vehicle with technical characteristics identical or similar to the one that has been granted an EU individual vehicle approval.

  3. (c)

    The model of the application form and the layout of the file shall be laid down by the approval authority.

    The particulars of the vehicle requested may only consist in an appropriate selection of the information included in Annex I.

    The technical requirements shall be those applicable to vehicles belonging to a type of vehicle currently in production, in relation to the date of the submission of the application.

  5. (e)

    With respect to the tests required under the regulatory acts listed in this Annex, the applicant shall supply a statement of compliance with recognised international standards or regulations. The statement in question may only be issued by the vehicle manufacturer.

    ‘Statement of compliance’ shall mean a statement issued by the office or department within the manufacturer's organisation that is duly authorised by the management to fully engage the legal responsibility of the manufacturer with respect to the design and the construction of a vehicle.

    The regulatory acts for which such a statement has to be supplied shall be those referred to in point 4.

    Where a statement of compliance gives rise to uncertainty, the applicant may be required to obtain from the manufacturer a piece of evidence, including a test report, in order to corroborate the manufacturer's statement.

  3. (c)

    Test reports shall include a description of the vehicle tested, including its identification. The parts that play a significant role with regard to the results of the tests shall be described and their identification number reported.

  4. (d)

    At the request of an applicant, a test report delivered for a system related to a particular vehicle may be presented repeatedly either by the same or another applicant for the purposes of individual approval of another vehicle.

    In such a case, the approval authority shall ensure that the technical characteristics of the vehicle are properly inspected against the test report.

    Inspection of the vehicle and the documentation accompanying the test report shall demonstrate that the vehicle for which an individual approval is sought has the same characteristics as the vehicle described in the report.

  5. (e)

2.Remarks:

  1. (a)

    the complete LPG or CNG installation shall be checked against the UN Regulations No 67, No 110 or No 115, as appropriate;

  2. (b)

    the formula to be used for the assessment of CO2 emissions shall be as follows:

    • Petrol engine and manual gearbox:

      CO2 = 0,047 m + 0,561 p + 56,621

    • Petrol engine and automatic gearbox

      CO2 = 0,102 m + 0,328 p + 9,481

    • Petrol engine and hybrid electric:

      CO2 = 0,116 m – 57,147

    • Diesel engine and manual gearbox:

      CO2 = 0,108 m – 11,371

    • Diesel engine and automatic gearbox:

      CO2 = 0,116 m – 6,432

    Where: CO2 is the combined mass of CO2 emissions in g/km, ‘m’ is the mass of the vehicle in running order in kg and ‘p’ the maximum engine power output in kW.

    Combined mass of CO2 shall be calculated with one decimal place, then rounded to the nearest whole number as follows:

    1. (i)

      if the figure following the decimal point is below 5, the total is rounded down;

    2. (ii)

      if the figure following the decimal point is equal to 5 or above 5, the total is rounded up;

  3. (c)

    the formula to be used for the assessment of fuel consumption shall be as follows:

    CFC = CO2 × k – 1

    Where: CFC is the combined fuel consumption in l/100 km, CO2 is the combined mass of CO2 emissions in g/km after it has been rounded in accordance with the rule referred to in Remark (2 b), ‘k’ a coefficient equal to:

    • 23,81 in the case of a petrol engine;

    • 26,49 in the case of a diesel engine.

    Combined fuel consumption shall be calculated with two decimal places, then rounded as follows:

    1. (i)

      if the figure following the first decimal is below 5, the total is rounded down;

    2. (ii)

      if the figure following the first decimal is equal to 5 or above 5, the total is rounded up.
