(2) The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if: (a) the values given in the technical documentation pursuant to Article 3(3) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 (declared values), and, where applicable, the values used to calculate those values, are not more favourable for the supplier than the corresponding values given in the test reports; (b) the values published on the label and in the product information sheet are not more favourable for the supplier than the declared values, and the indicated energy efficiency class, the repeated free fall reliability class and the repairability class are not more favourable for the supplier than the class determined by the declared values; (c) when the Member State authorities test the unit of the model, the determined values (that is the values of the relevant parameters as measured in testing and the values calculated from those measurements) comply with the respective verification tolerances as given in Table 10; (d) when the Member State authorities test five units of the model for the repeated free fall reliability, the determined values (that is the values of the relevant parameters as measured in testing and the values calculated from those measurements) comply with the respective pass rate as given in Table 11; (e) when the Member State authorities test five units of the model for the battery endurance in cycles, the arithmetic mean of the determined values (that is the values of the relevant parameters as measured in testing and the values calculated from those measurements) comply with the respective verification tolerances as given in Table 10.
(3) If the results referred to in points 2(a), (b) and (e) are not achieved, the model and all equivalent models shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation. (4) If the result referred to in point 2(c) is not achieved, the Member State authorities shall select three additional units of the same model for testing, except for the result of the repairability index. As an alternative, the three additional units selected may be of one or more equivalent models. Concerning the repairability index, if the result referred to in point 2(c) is not achieved, the Member State authorities shall select one additional unit of the same model for testing. (5) If the result referred to in point 2(d) is not achieved, the Member State authorities shall select five additional units of the same model for testing. As an alternative, the five additional units selected may be of one or more equivalent models. (6) The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if for the three units tested pursuant to point 4, where applicable, the arithmetic mean of the determined values complies with the respective tolerances given in Table 10, except for the result of the repairability index, where the model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if the determined value complies with the respective tolerance given in Table 10. (7) The model shall be considered to comply with the applicable requirements if for the five units tested pursuant to point 5, where applicable, the pass rate complies with the respective values given in Table 11. (8) If the results referred to in points 6 or 7 are not achieved, the model and all equivalent models shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation, except for the result of the repairability index, where the model shall be considered not to comply with this Regulation. (9) The Member State authorities shall provide all relevant information to the authorities of the other Member States and to the Commission without delay once a decision has been taken on the non-compliance of the model according to points 3 or 8 or the second paragraph of this Annex. The Member State authorities shall use the measurement and calculation methods set out in Annex IV.
