measures of vehicles in terms of fuel consumption.
8.1.1.2 If a certain model has several extended models or interpolation lineage models,
the production conformity test shall be conducted on the basic model described in the
application materials of the first type test. If the production of the basic model of the
first type test has been suspended, the production conformity test shall be performed

---The first vehicle: fuel consumption of “x” kilometers;
---The subsequent vehicles: fuel consumption of zero kilometers multiplied by
the gradient coefficient.
8.1.3.4 As an alternative to this regulation, the vehicle manufacturer may adopt a fixed

defects, the probability of passing the test is 0.95 (manufacturer’s risk = 5%); when 65%
of a batch of products have production defects, the probability of being accepted is 0.1
(customer’s risk = 10%).

The test lineage defined in C.1.2.3.1 in GB 18352.6-2016 is applicable to this
Standard1.
10.2 Determination of Fuel Consumption in Test Lineage
10.2.1 If the vehicle satisfies the requirements of C.1.2.3.1.1 in GB 18352.6-2016, the
same interpolation lineage1 may be constituted. In accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer’s requirements, adopt one of the following two methods to determine fuel
consumption of vehicles in the test lineage.
a) The fuel consumption of vehicle H tested and calculated in accordance with
Chapter 4 ~ Chapter 6, and CE.3.2.1 in GB 18352.6-2016 is applicable to all
the vehicle models in the interpolation lineage1;
b) In accordance with Chapter 4 ~ Chapter 6, test the fuel consumption of vehicle
H and vehicle L; in accordance with the methods in CE.3.2.3.2.1 ~
CE.3.2.3.2.4 in GB 18352.6-2016, calculate the fuel consumption1 of all the
vehicle models in the interpolation lineage. Specifically speaking, if the
difference of fuel consumption between the test vehicle L and vehicle H is
within the specified range, then, the interpolation method can be used. The
lower limit of this specified range is: 0.2 L/100 km; the upper limit is 20% of
the actual fuel consumption of vehicle H, plus 0.2 L/100 km; the minimum is
0.6 L/100 km, and the maximum is 1.2 L/100 km. The interpolation line can
be extrapolated up to 0.12 L/100 km greater than the fuel consumption of
vehicle H, or, 0.12 L/100 km smaller than the fuel consumption of vehicle L;
the extension is merely effective within the above-mentioned absolute limits.
10.2.2 If the vehicle satisfies the requirements of C.1.2.3.1.3 in GB 18352.6-2016, the
same road load matrix lineage1 may be constituted. In accordance with the vehicle
