In any case, the information must be available in the product catalogue distributed to
points of sale by the vehicle manufacturer.
4.2.3. The vehicle manufacturer shall provide to the technical service and/or approval
authority the necessary information in electronic format which makes the link
between the relevant part numbers and the type approval documentation.

(ii) make(s) and type(s) of original replacement catalytic converter.
(iii) part number(s) of original replacement catalytic converter.
(iv) type-approval number of the relevant vehicle type(s)."
Paragraph 4.2., renumber as paragraph 4.3 and amend to read:
"4.3. An approval number shall be assigned to each replacement catalytic converter type approved. Its first two digits (00 for the Regulation in its present form) shall indicate
the series of amendments incorporating the most recent major technical amendments
made to the Regulation at the time of issue of the approval. The same Contracting
Party may not assign the same number to another type of replacement catalytic
converter. The same approval number may cover the use of that replacement
catalytic converter type on a number of different vehicle types."
Insert a new paragraphs 4.4.,to read:
"4.4. When the applicant for type-approval can demonstrate to the type-approval authority or technical service that the replacement catalytic convert is of a type indicated in

as used during the original type approval. In this case, the administrative
departments shall provide, on request and on a non-discriminatory basis, Appendix 1

preconditioning cycles and the type of test cycle used by the original equipment
manufacturer for OBD testing of the catalytic converter.

monitored by the OBD system, the OBD system shall indicate no malfunction and
have no stored fault codes prior to the installation of any of the replacement catalytic
converters. An evaluation of the status of the OBD system at the end of the tests
described in paragraph 5.2.1. may be used for this purpose.
