On behalf of OICA, Dr. Göldenitz presented a proposal for the selection of the test cars (VIAQ-04-09):

• The production date is the day when the car is handed over to the sales department.
• The car has to be from the regular production process.
• A worst case approach is recommended. Cars should be combined in families with the same emission potential.
• The test car should be equipped with the darkest interior and exterior color.
• Three cars should be tested for each family: textile, artificial leather, and real leather.
