Annex 8 -Appendix 2 REESS energy change-based correction procedure2.2. The correction coefficients shall be determined from a set of charge-sustaining Type 1 tests according to paragraph 3. of this Appendix 2. The number of tests performed by the manufacturer shall be equal or more than 5. The manufacturer may request to set the state of charge of the REESS prior to the test according to the manufacturer’s recommendation and as described in paragraph 3. of this Appendix. This practice shall only be used for the purpose of achieving a charge-sustaining Type 1 test with opposite sign of the ∆EREESS,CS and with approval of the type approval authority. The set of measurements shall fulfil the following criteria: (a) This set shall contain at least one test with ∆EREESS,CS ≤ 0 and at least one test with ∆EREESS,CS > 0 . ∆EREESS,CS,n is the sum of electric energy changes of all REESSs of test n calculated according to paragraph 4.3. of this Annex (b) The difference in MCO2,CS between the test with the highest negative electric energy change and the test with the highest positive electric energy change, both are the outer tests related to the electric energy change, shall be equal or more than 5 g/km. The required number of tests may be reduced to 3 tests if all of the following criteria are fulfilled in addition to (a) and (b): (c) the difference in MCO2,CS between two adjacent measurements, referred to the electric energy change during the test, is equal or less than 10 g/km. (d) in addition to (b) the test with highest negative electric energy change and the test with the highest positive electric energy change is not be within the region that is defined by −1 % ≤ (e) ∆EREESS Efuel ≤ + 1 %, the test in between the test with highest negative electric energy change and the test with the highest positive electric energy change falls within the region defined in (d) or (b), whichever is the largest The correction coefficients determined by the manufacturer shall be reviewed and approved by the technical authority prior to its application. If the set of at least 5 tests does not fulfil criterion (a) or criterion (b) or both, the manufacturer shall give evidence to the responsible authority why the vehicle is not capable to meet either or both criteria. If the responsible authority is not satisfied with the evidence, he can require additional tests to be performed. If the criteria after additional tests are still not fulfilled, the responsible authority will determine a conservative correction coefficient, based on the measurements. 1
