Article 11 Certification of CO2 savings from eco-innovations

United Kingdom

A manufacturer wishing to F1demonstrate certified CO₂ savings from an eco-innovation shall apply to F2the Secretary of State for F3a GB type-approval certificate (the document whereby the approval authority officially certifies that a type of vehicle, system, component or separate technical unit is type-approved) of the vehicle fitted with the eco-innovation. The application for a certificate shall, in addition to the documents providing the necessary information specified in F4Article 25 of Regulation (EU) 2018/858, refer to the decision by the F5Secretary of State to approve an eco-innovation in accordance with Article 10(2) of this Regulation.

F62.

The certified CO₂ savings of the eco-innovation demonstrated in accordance with the corresponding decision to approve the innovative technology as an eco-innovation shall be specified separately in both the type approval documentation and the certificate of conformity in accordance with F7Regulation (EU) 2018/858, on the basis of tests carried out by technical services in accordance with F8Article 30 of that Regulation, using the approved testing methodology.

Subject to the requirements of the approval decision, the quantified uncertainty referred to in Article 8(2) shall be subtracted from the total savings to be certified. Where the CO₂ savings of an eco-innovation for a specific type, variant, version and, where appropriate, interpolation family are below the relevant threshold specified in Article 9(1), the savings shall not be certified.

In the case pre-defined CO₂ savings determined in accordance with Article 4(2)(ea) are specified in the approval decision, the relevant pre-defined savings value may be entered directly into the type approval documentation, provided that the approval authority is in a position to confirm that the vehicle is fitted with the technology in accordance with the specifications of the approval decision.

Where the vehicle is fitted with more than one eco-innovation, the CO₂ savings shall be demonstrated separately for each eco-innovation in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 8(1). The sum of the resulting savings determined in accordance with Article 8(2) for each eco-innovation shall provide the total CO₂ savings for the purpose of the certification of that vehicle.

Where interaction between several eco-innovations fitted to one vehicle cannot be ruled out because they are clearly of a different nature, the manufacturer shall indicate this in the application to the approval authority and shall provide a report from the independent and certified body on the impact of the interaction on the savings of the eco-innovations in the vehicle as referred to in Article 7(3).

Where, due to that interaction, the total savings are less than 0,5 g CO₂/km times the number of eco-innovations only those eco-innovation savings that meet the threshold set out in Article 9(1) shall be taken into account for calculating the total savings in accordance with paragraph 3 of this Article.
