  "text": "1. The manufacturer may apply for certification of the CO2 savings from one or several 12 Volt (V) efficient alternators intended for use in M1 vehicles, provided that it complies with the following conditions:\n(a) it is a component used solely to charge the vehicle battery and to power the electrical system of the vehicle when its combustion engine is running;\n(b) the mass of the efficient alternator does not exceed the mass of the baseline alternator of 7 kg by more than 3 kg;\n(c) its efficiency is at least:\n(i)73,8 % for petrol- or E85-fuelled vehicles other than turbo-charged;\n(ii)73,4 % for turbo-charged petrol- or E85-fuelled vehicles;\n(iii)74,2 % for diesel-fuelled vehicles;\n(iv)74,6 % for vehicles fuelled with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) other than turbo-charged;\n(v)74,1 % for turbo-charged LPG-fuelled vehicles;\n(vi)76,3 % for vehicles fuelled with compressed natural gas (CNG) other than turbo-charged;\n(vii)75,7 % for turbo-charged CNG -fuelled vehicles.\n2. An application for the certification of the savings from one or several efficient alternators shall be accompanied by an independent verification report certifying that the alternator or alternators comply with the conditions set out in paragraph 1.\n3. The Secretary of State shall reject the application for certification if the Secretary of State finds that the alternator or alternators do not comply with the conditions set out in paragraph 1.",
