For each of the regulatory acts listed in Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 168/2013, the test reports shall comply with the provisions of Standard EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005. In particular it shall include the information mentioned in point 5.10.2, including footnote (1) of that standard. 1.2. The test reports shall be drawn up by the technical service in accordance with its rules of good practice. 1.3. The test report shall be drafted in one of the official EU languages determined by the approval authority. 1.3.1. Where a test has been is issued in another language than the office language(s) of the Member State handling the approval application, the approval authority may require the applicant to provide a certified translation of the test report. 1.4. Only authenticated copies of a test report shall be submitted. 1.5. The test reports shall include a description of the vehicle tested including its unambiguous identification. The parts having significant influence role in determining the test results shall be described and their identification number indicated. Examples of parts include the noise-abatement devices for noise measurement and the engine management system (ECU) for measuring tailpipe emissions. Moreover it shall include at least the following information: 1.5.1. A detailed description of the characteristics of the vehicle, system, component or separate technical unit characteristics in connection with the regulatory act. 1.5.2. Category, subcategory and sub-subcategory of vehicle tested. 1.5.3. Tested vehicle sub-classification according to point 4.3. of Annex II to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 134/2014. 1.5.4. The information shall indicate the variant(s) and/or version(s) to which it applies. One version shall not have more than one test result. However, a combination of several test results per version, indicating the worst case, is permissible. In this case, a note shall state that for items marked (*) only worst-case results are given. 1.5.5. When the tests are conducted on a vehicle, system, component or technical unit which combines a number of least favourable features concerning the required performance level (the worst-case), the test report shall include a reference stating how the selection was made by the manufacturer in agreement with the technical service. 1.5.6. Condition of the vehicle influencing the test, such as fitted accessories; actual masses; test voltage; tyre sizes; tyre pressures; etc.; 1.5.7.

A detailed statement of compliance with the various provisions to be met, i.e. provisions for which measurements were not required. 1.5.12. When test methods other than those prescribed in the regulatory acts are permitted, the report shall describe the test method used. The same applies when alternative provisions to those in the regulatory acts may be applied; 1.5.13. The number of photographs to be taken during testing shall be decided by the technical service to the satisfaction of the approval authority.
