    Examples of type–approval certification numbers.

    2.1.

    An example is provided below of a first approval without any extensions of an Euro 5 light passenger vehicle. The approval was granted to the base regulation and its implementing regulation so the forth component is 0001. The vehicle is of category M1 represented by letter A. The approval was issued by the Netherlands:

    e4*715/2007*692/2008A*0001*00

    2.2.

    This second example shows a fourth approval for the second extension of an Euro 5 light passenger vehicle of category M1G meeting the special social needs requirements (letter C). The approval was granted to the base regulation and an amending regulation in the year 2009 and was issued by Germany:

    e1*715/2007*…/2009C*0004*02
