The technology used in the Mazda light emitting diodes (LED) lighting and in the Honda LED lighting is approved as an innovative technology within the meaning of Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009.
[F11.The manufacturer may apply for the certification of CO 2 savings from one or several exterior LED lighting intended for use in internal combustion engine M 1 vehicles or in not off-vehicle charging hybrid electric M 1 vehicles (NOVC-HEVs) that comply with point (3) of paragraph 5.3.2 of Annex 8 to Regulation No 101 of the Economic Commission for Europe of the United Nations, including such vehicles that are capable of running on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), compressed natural gas (CNG) or E85 in addition to petrol or diesel, or a combination of those fuels, and provided that the vehicles are fitted with one or a combination of the following LED lights:]
(a)low beam headlamp;
(b)high beam headlamp;
(c)front position lamp;
(d)front fog lamp;
(e)rear fog lamp;
(f)front turn signal lamp;
(g)rear turn signal lamp;
(h)licence plate lamp;
(i)reversing lamp.
The LED light or the combination of LED lights forming the efficient exterior LED lighting shall as a minimum provide the CO2 reduction specified in [F1Article 9(1)(a)] of Regulation (EU) No 725/2011.
2.An application for the certification of the savings from one or several efficient exterior LED lighting shall be accompanied by an independent verification report certifying that that or those LED lighting complies with the conditions set out in paragraph 1.
3.The [F2Secretary of State] shall reject the application for certification if [F3the Secretary of State] finds that one or several exterior LED lighting do not comply with the conditions set out in paragraph 1.

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 [F4Secretary 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.
[F53.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.]
