ANNEX VI

The single format of the test report U.K.

1. General requirements U.K.

One test report shall be completed for each tests required for EU type-approval.

Each additional (e.g. a second speed on a constant speed engine) or supplementary test (e.g. another fuel is tested) will require an additional or supplementary test report.

2. Explanatory notes on creation of a test report U.K.

2.1.A test report shall contain at least the information set out in Appendix 1;U.K.

2.2.Notwithstanding point 2.1, only those sections or sub-sections relevant for the particular test and for the particular engine family, engine types within the engine family or engine type tested need to be stated in the test report (e.g. if a NRTC is not run this section may be omitted);U.K.

2.3.The test report may contain more information than that requested in point 2.1 but in any case, shall adhere to the proposed numbering system;U.K.

2.4.Where several options separated by forward slash are given for an entry, the unused options shall be struck out, or only the used option(s) shall be shown;U.K.

2.5.Where a ‘type’ of a component is requested, the information supplied shall uniquely identify the component; this may be a list of characteristic, a manufacturers' name and part or drawing number, a drawing, or a combination of the aforementioned or other methods that achieves the same result.U.K.

[F12.6. The test report may be delivered on paper or in an electronic format agreed between the manufacturer, technical service and approval authority.] U.K.
