Article 9 In service conformity

Measures to ensure in-service conformity of vehicles type-approved under this Regulation shall be taken in accordance with F1Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 2018/858 and Annex II to this Regulation.

The in-service conformity checks shall be appropriate for confirming that tailpipe and evaporative emissions are effectively limited during the normal life of vehicles under normal conditions of use.

In-service conformity shall be checked on properly maintained and used vehicles, in accordance with Appendix 1 of Annex II, between 15 000 km or 6 months whichever occurs later and 100 000 km or 5 years whichever occurs sooner. In service conformity for evaporative emissions shall be checked on properly maintained and used vehicles, in accordance with Appendix 1 of Annex II, between 30 000 km or 12 months whichever occurs later and 100 000 km or 5 years whichever occurs sooner.

The requirements for in-service conformity checks are applicable until 5 years after the last Certificate of Conformity or individual approval certificate is issued for vehicles of that in-service conformity family.

In-service conformity checks shall not be mandatory if the annual sales of the in-service conformity family are less than 5 000 vehicles in F3Great Britain for the previous year. For such families, the manufacturer shall provide the approval authority with a report of any emissions related warranty, repair claim and OBD fault as set out in point 4.1 of Annex II. Such in-service conformity families may still be selected to be tested in accordance with Annex II.

The manufacturer and the F4... approval authority shall perform in-service conformity checks in accordance with Annex II.

The F5... approval authority shall take the decision on whether a family failed the provisions of in-service conformity, following a compliance assessment and approve the plan of remedial measures presented by the manufacturer in accordance with Annex II.

F7If the approval authority has established that an in-service conformity family fails the in-service conformity check, it must inform the manufacturer that an in-service conformity family fails the in-service conformity checks and that the procedures described in points 6 and 7 of Annex II must be followed.

F8...

In addition to points 1 to 7, the following shall apply to vehicles type approved according to Part B of Annex II.
