6. Description of content:  Scope  
Article 2 – (1) These Communique covers the emission limits for all engines in the 
categories specified in the first paragraph of Article 5 of the aforementioned Regulation 
and for the gas and particulate pollutants arising fro m the engines of these machines, 
which are installed or intended to be fitted to mobile machines used outside the highway 
determined by The Regulation on Gas and Particulate Pollutant Emission Limits and 
Requirements Regarding Type Approval for Internal Co mbustion Engines Installed on 
Moving Machines Used Outside the Highway (2016/1628 / EU)  G/TBT/N/TUR/208

  (2) This Communique applies to monitoring of the gaseous pollutant emissions from the 
following categories of in -service engines of emission Stage V installed in non -road mobile 
machinery regardless of when the EU type -approval for those engines was granted:  
(a) NRE and NRG (all sub -categories);  
(b) NRS -vi-1b, NRS -vr-1b, NRS -v-2a, NRS -v-2b and NRS -v-3;
