Appendix 1 Verification of conformity of production for Type 1 test—statistical method
F11.
This Appendix describes the procedure to be used to verify the production conformity requirements for the Type 1 test for pollutants/CO 2 , including conformity requirements for PEVs and OVC-HEVs, and to monitor the OBFCM device accuracy.
2.
Measurements of the pollutants specified in Table 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, and the emission of CO 2 shall be carried out on a minimum number of 3 vehicles, and consecutively increase until a pass or fail decision is reached. The OBFCM device accuracy shall be determined for each of the N tests.
From the number of N tests: x1, x2, … xN, the average Xtests and the variance VAR are to be determined from all N measurements:
and
3.
For each number of tests, one of the three following decisions (see (i) to ((iii) below) can be reached for pollutants based on the limit value L for each pollutant, the average of all N tests: Xtests, the variance of the test results VAR and the number of tests N:
- (i)
Pass the family if
- (ii)
Fail the family if
- (iii)
Take another measurement if:
For the measurement of pollutants the factor A is set at 1,05 in order to take into account inaccuracies in the measurements.
4.
For CO2 and EC the normalised values for CO2 and EC shall be used:
In the case of CO2 and EC the factor A is set at 1.01 and the value for L is set at 1. So in the case of CO2 and EC the criteria are simplified to:
- (i)
Pass the family if
- (ii)
Fail the family if
- (iii)
Take another measurement if:

For vehicles referred to in Article 4a, the accuracy of the OBFCM device shall be calculated as follows:
accuracy of the OBFCM device determined for each single test i in accordance with the formulae point 4.2 of Annex XXII.
The Type Approval authority shall keep a record of the determined accuracies for each COP family tested.
