Article 3 Certification of CO2 savings

The type-approval authority shall ensure that the CO₂ savings achieved from the use of the innovative technology have been determined using the methodology set out in the Annex.

Where a manufacturer applies for the certification of the CO₂ savings from more than one efficient exterior LED light referred to in Article 1 in relation to one vehicle version, the type approval authority shall determine which of the efficient exterior LED lights tested delivers the lowest CO₂ savings, and record the lowest value in the relevant type approval documentation.

The type approval authority shall record the certified CO₂ savings determined in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article, and the eco-innovation code referred to in Article 4(1) in the relevant type-approval documentation.

Where the innovative technology is fitted in a bi-fuel or flex-fuel vehicle, the approval authority shall record the CO₂ savings as follows:

The type-approval authority shall record all the elements considered for the certification in a test report and keep that together with the verification report referred to in Article 2(2), F1...

.

The type-approval authority shall only certify CO₂ savings, if it finds that the innovative technology complies with the conditions set out in Article 1 of this Decision, and if the CO₂ savings achieved are 0,5 g CO₂/km or higher, as specified in Article 9(1)(b) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 427/2014.
