Article 7Certified CO2 savings from eco-innovations#

1.A manufacturer wishing to benefit from a reduction of its average specific CO₂ emissions by means of the CO₂ savings from an eco-innovation shall proceed in accordance with Annex XII to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 and refer to the approval decision.

2.The approval authority referred to in Annex XII to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 shall determine the CO₂ savings of the eco-innovation in accordance with Article 30 of Regulation (EU) 2018/858, using a methodology set out in the approval decision.

3.Where the CO₂ savings for an individual vehicle are less than 0,5 g/km, the CO₂ savings shall not be considered for the purpose of type-approval and their value shall not be indicated in the Certificate of Conformity.

4.Where vehicles are fitted with several eco-innovations, the manufacturer shall declare in the application for an EC type-approval in accordance with Annex XII to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151, whether or not interactions between the eco-innovations may affect their total CO₂ savings.If the eco-innovations have no such interactions, the CO₂ savings shall be demonstrated separately for each eco-innovation and the total CO₂ savings for the purpose of the certification of the vehicles shall be the sum of the CO₂ savings of the individual eco-innovations.If the eco-innovations have such interactions, the manufacturer shall provide a report from an independent and certified body on the impact of the interaction on the total savings of the eco-innovations in the vehicles, unless this impact is quantified in the approval decision.Where, due to such interactions, the total CO₂ savings are less than 0,5 g CO₂/km times the number of eco-innovations installed in the vehicle, the CO₂ savings shall not be considered for the purpose of type-approval and their value shall not be indicated in the Certificate of Conformity.

5.In the case of completed vehicles related to incomplete base vehicles as defined in Article 3 of Regulation (EU) 2018/858, only eco-innovations fitted to the base vehicle shall be considered for the certification of CO₂ savings from an eco-innovation.
