Manufacturers and the granting type-approval authorities shall use the templates and models set out in Annexes I, V, VII, XI, XIV, XVI, XXI to this Regulation for demonstrating compliance with the emission type-approval requirements laid down in Articles 4 and 7 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1257 on testing. 2. If the requirements in Articles 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 of this Regulation are met, the approval authority shall grant an emission type-approval and issue an emission type-approval number in accordance with the numbering system set out in Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/683. However, Section 3 of the emission type-approval number referred to in point 2.3. of Annex IV to Regulation (EU) 2020/683 shall be drawn up in accordance with Appendix 6 to Annex I of this Regulation. An approval authority shall not assign the same number to another vehicle type. 3. By way of derogation from paragraph 2, at the request of the manufacturer, a vehicle with an OBD system may be accepted for emission type-approval, even though the system contains one or more deficiencies such that the specific requirements of Annex XI are not fully met, provided that the specific administrative provisions set out in Section 3 of that Annex are complied with. The approval authority shall notify the decision to grant such a type-approval to all type-approval authorities in the other Member States in accordance with Article 27 of Regulation (EU) 2018/858. 4. When granting an emission type-approval under Regulation (EU) 2024/1257, the approval authority shall issue an emission type-approval certificate using the model set out in Appendix 4 to Annex I to this Regulation.
