(d)

decide that the in-service conformity of a vehicle type, that is part of an in-service family, or of an OBD family, is unsatisfactory and proceed to have such vehicle type or OBD family tested in accordance with Appendix 1.

Where the results of the checks confirm such causes, those test results shall be excluded from the conformity check.] U.K.
