Abstract A model-independent search for deviations from the Standard Model prediction is performed in e+ p and e- p collisions at HERA~II using all H1 data recorded during this second running phase. This corresponds to integrated luminosities of 178 pb-1 and 159 pb-1 for e+p and e- p collisions, respectively. All event topologies involving isolated electrons, photons, muons, neutrinos and jets with high transverse momenta are investigated in a single analysis. Events are assigned to exclusive classes according to their final state. A statistical algorithm is used to search for deviations from the Standard Model in the distributions of the scalar sum of transverse momenta or invariant mass of final state particles and to quantify their significance. A good agreement with the Standard Model prediction is observed in most of the event classes. No significant deviation is observed in the phase-space and in the event topologies covered by this analysis.
