Certification of CO2 savings
Article 3
1
The reduction in CO2 emissions from the use of efficient exterior LED lighting referred to in Article 2(1) shall be determined using the methodology set out in the Annex.
2
Where a manufacturer applies for the certification of the CO2 savings from more than one efficient exterior LED lighting referred to in Article 2(1) in relation to one vehicle version, the Secretary of State shall determine which of the efficient exterior LED lighting tested delivers the lowest CO2 savings, and record the lowest value in the relevant type approval documentation. That value shall be indicated in the certificate of conformity in accordance with Article 11(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 725/2011.
3
Where the efficient exterior vehicle LED lights are fitted in a bi-fuel or flex-fuel vehicle, the approval authority shall record the CO
2
savings as follows:
a
for a bi-fuel vehicle using petrol and gaseous fuels, the CO
2
savings value with regard to LPG or CNG;
b
for a flex-fuel vehicle using petrol and E85, the CO
2
savings value with regard to petrol.
4
The certified CO
2
savings recorded by reference to eco-innovation code No 19 may only be taken into account for the calculation of the average specific emissions of manufacturers until 31 December 2020.
