Article 17 Administrative provisions for the certification of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption related properties of components, separate technical units and systems

If all the applicable requirements are met, the approval authority shall certify the values relating to the CO₂ emissions and fuel consumption related properties of the component family, separate technical unit family or system family concerned.

In the case referred to in paragraph 1, the approval authority shall issue a certificate on CO₂ emissions and fuel consumption related properties using the model set out in:

• Appendix 1 to Annex V as regards engines;

• Appendix 1 to Annex VI as regards transmissions, torque converters, other torque transferring component and additional driveline components;

• Appendix 1 to Annex VII as regards axles;

• Appendix 1 to Annex VIII as regards air drag;

• Appendix 1 to Annex X as regards tyres.

The approval authority shall grant a certification number in accordance with the numbering system set out in:

• Appendix 6 to Annex V as regards engines;

• Appendix 7 to Annex VI as regards transmissions, torque converters, other torque transferring component and additional driveline components;

• Appendix 5 to Annex VII as regards axles;

• Appendix 8 to Annex VIII as regards air drag;

• Appendix 1 to Annex X as regards tyres.

The approval authority shall not assign the same number to another component family, separate technical unit family or system family. The certification number shall be used as the identifier of the test report.

The approval authority shall create a cryptographic hash of the file with test results, comprising the certification number, by means of the hashing tool referred to in Article 5(5). This hashing shall be done immediately after the test results are produced. The approval authority shall imprint that hash along with the certification number on the certificate on CO₂ emissions and fuel consumption related properties.
