  "heading": "Verification of the CO2 emissions of vehicles in-service",
  "text": "1. Manufacturers shall ensure that the CO2 emission and fuel consumption values recorded in the certificates of conformity correspond to the CO2 emissions from, and fuel consumption of, vehicles in-service as determined in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 , as it has effect in domestic law or, as the case may be, as that Regulation has effect in EU law as amended from time to time and by virtue of the Northern Ireland Protocol.\n2. Following the entry into force of the procedures referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 4, the Secretary of State shall verify, on the basis of appropriate and representative vehicle samples, that the CO2 emission and fuel consumption values recorded in the certificates of conformity correspond to the CO2 emissions from, and fuel consumption of, vehicles in-service as determined in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 , as it has effect in domestic law or, as the case may be, as that Regulation has effect in EU law as amended from time to time and by virtue of the Northern Ireland Protocol, while considering, inter alia, available data from on-board fuel and/or energy consumption monitoring devices.\nThe Secretary of State shall also verify the presence of any strategies on board or relating to the sampled vehicles that artificially improve the vehicle's performance in the tests performed for the purpose of type-approval by, inter alia, using data from on-board fuel and/or energy consumption monitoring devices.\n3. Where a lack of correspondence of CO2 emission and fuel consumption values or the presence of any strategies artificially improving a vehicle's performance is found as a result of the verifications performed pursuant to paragraph 2, the responsible type-approval authority shall, in addition to taking the necessary measures set out in Chapter XI of Regulation (EU) 2018/858, as it has effect in domestic law or, as the case may be, as that Regulation has effect in EU law as amended from time to time or by virtue of the Northern Ireland Protocol, ensure the correction of the certificates of conformity.\n4. Regulations may set out the procedures for performing the verifications referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article. ...\nBefore making regulations referred to in the first subparagraph, the Secretary of State may make regulations setting out the guiding principles and criteria for defining the procedures referred to in that subparagraph.",
