We consider a diffusion process X t smoothed with (small)sampling parameter ε. As in Berzin, León and Ortega(2001), we consider a kernel estimate $\widehat{\alpha}_{\varepsilon}$ with window h(ε) of afunction α of its variance. In order to exhibit globaltests of hypothesis, we derive here central limit theorems forthe Lp deviations such as \[ \frac1{\sqrt{h}}\left(\frac{h}\varepsilon\right)^{\frac{p}2}\left(\left\|\widehat{\alpha}_{\varepsilon}-{\alpha}\right\|_p^p-\mbox{I E}\left\|\widehat{\alpha}_{\varepsilon}-{\alpha}\right\|_p^p\right).\]
