In-service conformity Clause Samples

The in-service conformity clause ensures that products or equipment continue to meet specified regulatory or contractual standards throughout their operational life. In practice, this means that after initial approval or certification, the item must be periodically tested or monitored to confirm ongoing compliance with performance, safety, or environmental requirements. This clause is essential for maintaining consistent quality and reliability, addressing the risk that products may degrade or fall out of compliance after entering service.

Introduction This paragraph sets out the tailpipe emissions and OBD (including IUPRM) in-service conformity requirements for vehicles type approved to this Regulation. 9.2. Audit of in-service conformity 9.2.1. The audit of in-service conformity by the Type Approval Authority shall be conducted on the basis of any relevant information that the manufacturer has, under the same procedures as those for the conformity of production defined in the 1958 Agreement, Appendix 2 (E/ECE/324-E/ECE/TRANS/505/Rev.2).

The information shall detail the frequency and substance of faults for emissions related components and systems. The reports shall be filed at least once a year for each vehicle model for the duration of the period of up to 5 years of age or 100,000 km, whichever is the sooner. 9.2.4. Parameters defining the in-service family The in-service family may be defined by basic design parameters which shall be common to vehicles within the family.

In service conformity for evaporative emissions shall be checked on properly maintained and used vehicles, in accordance with Appendix 1 of Annex 4, between 30,000 km or 12 months whichever occurs later and 100,000 km or 5 years whichever occurs sooner. The requirements for in-service conformity checks are applicable until 5 years after the last vehicles of that in-service conformity family are registered. 9.4. In-service conformity checks shall not be mandatory if the annual production volume of an in-service conformity family intended for sales in the Contracting Parties that apply this regulation was less than 5,000 vehicles for the previous year. For the European Union, this shall apply for the whole Union. For such families, the manufacturer shall provide the type approval authority with a report of any emissions related warranty and relevant repair as set out in paragraph 4. of Annex 4. Such in-service conformity families may still be selected to be tested in accordance with Annex 4. 9.5. The manufacturer and the granting type approval authority shall perform in-service conformity checks in accordance with Annex 4. Other type approval authorities, technical services and other actors may perform parts of the in-service conformity checks in accordance with Annex 4. 9.6. The granting type approval authority shall take the decision on whether a family failed the provisions of in-service conformity, following a compliance assessment and approve the plan of remedial measures presented by the manufacturer in accordance with Annex 4. 9.7. If a type approval authority, technical service or other actors have established that an in-service conformity family fails the in-service conformity check, it shall notify without delay the granting type approval authority. Following that notification the granting type approval authority shall inform the manufacturer that an in-service confo...
