Exemption for small numbers. An exemption from the criteria in sections 6.1, 6.3 and 6.4 will be acceptable for models that are sold in small numbers (less than 5,000 per year), on the ground that the cost of implementing the criteria is disproportionate to the sales of the product. Exceptions should be reported to the Independent Inspector (see Annex C, section 4 for reporting template).
