REGULATION (EC) NoÂ 715/2007 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 20Â JuneÂ 2007
on type approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger andÂ commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and Euro 6) and on access toÂ vehicle repair and maintenance information
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, andÂ in particular ArticleÂ 95 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social CommitteeÂ (1),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in ArticleÂ 251 of the TreatyÂ (2),
Whereas:
(1)
The internal market comprises an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services andÂ capital must be ensured. To that end a comprehensive Community type approval system for motor vehicles, established by Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6Â FebruaryÂ 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type approval of motor vehicles and their trailersÂ (3), is in place. The technical requirements for the type approval of motor vehicles with regard to emissions should therefore be harmonised to avoid requirements that differ from one Member State to another, and to ensure a high level of environmental protection. (2)
This Regulation is one of a number of separate regulatory acts in the context of the Community type approval procedure under Directive 70/156/EEC. Therefore, that Directive should be amended accordingly. (3)
At the request of the European Parliament a new regulatory approach has been introduced in EU vehicle legislation.
Thus, this Regulation lays down fundamental provisions on vehicle emissions, whereas the technical specifications will be laid down by implementing measures adopted following comitology procedures. (4)
In March 2001 the Commission launched the Clean Air For Europe (CAFE) programme, the major elements of which are outlined in a communication of 4Â MayÂ 2005. This has led to the adoption of a thematic strategy on air pollution by a communication of 21Â SeptemberÂ 2005. One of the conclusions of the thematic strategy is that further reductions in emissions from the transport sector (air, maritime and land transport), from households and from the energy, agricultural andÂ industrial sectors are needed to achieve EU air quality objectives. In this context, the task of reducing vehicle emissions should be approached as part of an overall strategy. The Euro 5 andÂ 6 standards are one of the measures designed to reduce emissions of particulate matter and ozone precursors such as nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons. (5)
Achieving EU air quality objectives requires a continuing effort to reduce vehicle emissions. For that reason, industry should be provided with clear information on future emission limit values. This is why this Regulation includes, in addition to EuroÂ 5, the EuroÂ 6 stage of emission limit values. (6)
In particular, a considerable reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions from diesel vehicles is necessary toÂ improve air quality andÂ comply with limit values for pollution. This requires reaching ambitious limit values at the Euro 6 stage without being obliged to forego the advantages of diesel engines in terms of fuel consumption and hydrocarbon andÂ carbon monoxide emissions. Setting such a step for reducing nitrogen oxide emissions at an early stage will provide long-term, Europe-wide planning security for vehicle manufacturers. (7)
In setting emissions standards it is important to take into account the implications for markets and manufacturers' competitiveness, the direct andÂ indirect costs imposed on business and the benefits that accrue in terms of stimulating innovation, improving air quality, reducing health costs andÂ increasing life expectancy, as well as the implications for the overall impact on carbon dioxide emissions. (8)
Unrestricted access toÂ vehicle repair information, via a standardised format which can be used to retrieve the technical information, and effective competition on the market for vehicle repair and maintenance information services are necessary toÂ improve the functioning of the internal market, particularly as regards the free movement of goods, freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services. A great proportion of such information is related to on-board diagnostic (OBD) systems and their interaction with other vehicle systems. It is appropriate to lay down technical specifications that manufacturers' websites should follow, along with targeted measures to ensure reasonable access for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Common standards agreed with the involvement of stakeholders, such as the OASISÂ (4) format, can facilitate the exchange of information between manufacturers and service providers.
It is therefore appropriate toÂ initially require the use of the technical specifications of the OASIS format and to ask the Commission to request CEN/ISO to further develop this format into a standard with a view to replacing the OASIS format in due course. (9)
Not later than four years after the date of entry into force of this Regulation, the Commission should review the operation of the system of access to all vehicle repair and maintenance information with a view to determining whether it would be appropriate toÂ consolidate all provisions governing access toÂ vehicle repair and maintenance information within a revised framework Directive on type approval. If the provisions governing access to all vehicle information are incorporated into that Directive, the corresponding provisions in this Regulation should be repealed, as long as the existing rights for access to repair and maintenance information are preserved. (10)
The Commission should keep under review emissions which are as yet unregulated and which arise as a consequence of the wider use of new fuel formulations, engine technologies and emission control systems and, where necessary, submit a proposal to the European Parliament and to the Council with a view to regulating such emissions. (11)
In order to facilitate the introduction and to maintain the existence of alternative fuel vehicles, which can have low nitrogen oxide and particulate emissions, and at the same time to encourage reduced emissions from petrol-powered vehicles, this Regulation introduces separate limit values for total hydrocarbons and total non-methane hydrocarbons. (12)
Efforts should be continued toÂ implement stricter emission limits, including reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, and to ensure that those limits relate to the actual performance of vehicles when in use. (13)
In order to ensure that emissions of ultra fine particulate matter (PM 0,1 m andÂ below) are controlled, the Commission should adopt as soon as possible, andÂ introduce at the latest upon entry into force of the Euro 6 stage, a number based approach to emissions of PM in addition to the mass based approach which is currently used. The number based approach to emissions of PM should draw on the results of the UN/ECE's Particulate Measurement Programme (PMP) and be consistent with the existing ambitious objectives for the environment. (14)
To provide greater repeatability in measuring the mass and number of particulate emissions in the laboratory, the Commission should adopt a new measurement procedure replacing the current one. This should be introduced as soon as possible and at the latest upon entry into force of the Euro 6 stage. It should be based on the results of the PMP. When the new measurement procedure is implemented, the PM mass emission limits set out in this Regulation should be recalibrated, as the new procedure records a lower level of mass than the current one. (15)
The Commission should keep under review the need to revise the New European Drive Cycle as the test procedure that provides the basis of EC type approval emissions regulations. Updating or replacement of the test cycles may be required to reflect changes in vehicle specification and driver behaviour. Revisions may be necessary to ensure that real world emissions correspond to those measured at type approval. The use of portable emission measurement systems and the introduction of the not-to-exceed regulatory concept should also be considered. (16)
OBD systems are important in the control of emissions during the use of a vehicle. Due to the importance of controlling real world emissions, the Commission should keep under review the requirements for such systems and the tolerance thresholds for monitoring faults. (17)
A standardised method of measuring fuel consumption andÂ carbon dioxide emissions of vehicles is necessary to ensure that no technical barriers to trade arise between MemberÂ States.
Furthermore, it is also necessary to ensure that customers and users are supplied with objective and precise information. (18)
Before drawing up a proposal for future emission standards, the Commission should set up studies designed to determine whether the continued subdivision of vehicle categories into groups is still necessary and whether mass neutral emission limits can be applied. (19)
Member States should be able, by means of financial incentives, to accelerate the placing on the market of vehicles which satisfy the requirements adopted at Community level. However, such incentives should comply with the provisions of the Treaty, in particular the rules on state aid. This is in order to avoid distortions of the internal market. This Regulation should not affect the Member States right toÂ include emissions in the basis for calculating taxes levied on vehicles. (20)
Given that the legislation on vehicle emissions and fuel consumption has developed over more than 35 years andÂ is now spread over more than 24 Directives, it is advisable to replace those Directives by a new regulation and a number of implementing measures. A regulation will ensure that the detailed technical provisions are directly applicable to manufacturers, approval authorities and technical services and that they can be updated in a much faster and more efficient way. DirectivesÂ 70/220/EECÂ (5), 72/306/EECÂ (6), 74/290/EECÂ (7), 80/1268/EECÂ (8), 83/351/EECÂ (9), 88/76/EECÂ (10), 88/436/EECÂ (11), 89/458/EECÂ (12), 91/441/EECÂ (13), 93/59/EECÂ (14), 94/12/ECÂ (15), 96/69/ECÂ (16), 98/69/ECÂ (17), 2001/1/ECÂ (18), 2001/100/ECÂ (19) andÂ 2004/3/ECÂ (20) should therefore be repealed.
In addition, the Member States should also repeal the transposing legislation of the repealed Directives. (21)
In order toÂ clarify the scope of legislation on vehicle emissions, Directive 2005/55/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28Â SeptemberÂ 2005 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the measures to be taken against the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants from compression-ignition engines for use in vehicles, and the emission of gaseous pollutants from positive-ignition engines fuelled with natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas for use in vehiclesÂ (21) should be amended in such a way as toÂ cover all heavy-duty vehicles so as to make clear that this Regulation concerns light-duty vehicles. (22)
To ensure a smooth transition from the existing Directives to this Regulation, the applicability of this Regulation should be deferred by a certain period after its entry into force. However, during that period manufacturers should be able toÂ choose to have vehicles approved under either the existing Directives or this Regulation. Moreover, the provisions on financial incentives should be applicable immediately after the entry into force of this Regulation. The validity of type approvals granted under the existing Directives is not to be affected by the entry into force of this Regulation. (23)
To ensure a smooth transition from the existing Directives to this Regulation, certain exceptions for vehicles designed to fulfil specific social needs should be foreseen in the Euro 5 stage. These exceptions should cease with the entry into force of the Euro 6 stage.
(24)
The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28Â JuneÂ 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the CommissionÂ (22). (25)
In particular, power should be conferred on the Commission toÂ introduce particle number based limit values in AnnexÂ I, as well as to recalibrate the particulate mass based limit values set out in that Annex. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Regulation, they should be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in ArticleÂ 5a of DecisionÂ 1999/468/EC. (26)
Power should also be conferred on the Commission to establish specific procedures, tests and requirements for type approval, as well as a revised measurement procedure for particulates and a particle number based limit value, and to adopt measures concerning the use of defeat devices, access toÂ vehicle repair and maintenance information and test cycles used to measure emissions. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to supplement this Regulation by the addition of new non-essential elements, they should be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in ArticleÂ 5a of DecisionÂ 1999/468/EC.
(27)
Since the objectives of this Regulation, namely the realisation of the internal market through the introduction of common technical requirements concerning emissions from motor vehicles and guaranteed access toÂ vehicle repair and maintenance information for independent operators on the same basis as for authorised dealers and repairers, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States andÂ can therefore be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, as set out in ArticleÂ 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives,
HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

MANUFACTURERS TYPE-APPROVAL OBLIGATIONS
ArticleÂ 4
Manufacturers obligations
1. Manufacturers shall demonstrate that all new vehicles sold, registered or put into service in the Community are type approved in accordance with this Regulation andÂ its implementing measures. Manufacturers shall also demonstrate that all new replacement pollution control devices requiring type approval which are sold or put into service in the Community are type approved in accordance with this Regulation andÂ its implementing measures. These obligations include meeting the emission limits set out in AnnexÂ I and the implementing measures referred toÂ in ArticleÂ 5. 2. Manufacturers shall ensure that type approval procedures for verifying conformity of production, durability of pollution control devices andÂ in-service conformity are met. In addition, the technical measures taken by the manufacturer must be such as to ensure that the tailpipe and evaporative emissions are effectively limited, pursuant to this Regulation, throughout the normal life of the vehicles under normal conditions of use. Therefore, in-service conformity measures shall be checked for a period of up to five years or 100Â 000Â km, whichever is the sooner. Durability testing of pollution control devices undertaken for type approval shall cover 160Â 000Â km. ToÂ comply with this durability test, the manufacturers should have the possibility to make use of test bench ageing, subject to the implementing measures referred toÂ in paragraphÂ 4. In-service conformity shall be checked, in particular, for tailpipe emissions as tested against emission limits set out in AnnexÂ I. In order toÂ improve control of evaporative emissions and low ambient temperature emissions, the test procedures shall be reviewed by the Commission. 3. Manufacturers shall set out carbon dioxide emissions and fuel consumption figures in a document given to the purchaser of the vehicle at the time of purchase. 4.
The specific procedures and requirements for the implementation of paragraphsÂ 2 andÂ 3 shall be established in accordance with the procedure referred toÂ in ArticleÂ 15(2). ArticleÂ 5
Requirements and tests
1. The manufacturer shall equip vehicles so that the components likely to affect emissions are designed, constructed and assembled so as to enable the vehicle, in normal use, toÂ comply with this Regulation andÂ its implementing measures. 2. The use of defeat devices that reduce the effectiveness of emission control systems shall be prohibited. The prohibition shall not apply where:
(a)
the need for the device is justified in terms of protecting the engine against damage or accident and for safe operation of the vehicle;
(b)
the device does not function beyond the requirements of engine starting;
or
(c)
the conditions are substantially included in the test procedures for verifying evaporative emissions and average tailpipe emissions. 3. The specific procedures, tests and requirements for type approval set out in this paragraph, as well as requirements for the implementation of paragraphÂ 2, which are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Regulation, by supplementing it, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred toÂ in ArticleÂ 15(3). This shall include establishing the requirements relating to:
(a)
tailpipe emissions, including test cycles, low ambient temperature emissions, emissions at idling speed, smoke opacity andÂ correct functioning and regeneration of after-treatment systems;

ACCESS TOÂ VEHICLE REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
ArticleÂ 6
Manufacturers' obligations
1. Manufacturers shall provide unrestricted and standardised access toÂ vehicle repair and maintenance information toÂ independent operators through websites using a standardised format in a readily accessible and prompt manner, andÂ in a manner which is non-discriminatory compared to the provision given or access granted to authorised dealers and repairers. With a view to facilitating the achievement of this objective, the information shall be submitted in a consistent manner, initially in accordance with the technical requirements of the OASIS formatÂ (23). Manufacturers shall also make training material available toÂ independent operators and authorised dealers and repairers. 2. The information referred toÂ in paragraphÂ 1 shall include:
(a)
an unequivocal vehicle identification;
(b)
service handbooks;
(c)
technical manuals;
(d)
component and diagnosis information (such as minimum and maximum theoretical values for measurements);
(e)
wiring diagrams;
(f)
diagnostic trouble codes (including manufacturer specific codes);
(g)
the software calibration identification number applicable to a vehicle type;
(h)
information provided concerning, and delivered by means of, proprietary tools and equipment;
and
(i)
data record information and two-directional monitoring and test data. 3. Authorised dealers or repairers within the distribution system of a given vehicle manufacturer shall be regarded as independent operators for the purposes of this Regulation to the extent that they provide repair or maintenance services for vehicles in respect of which they are not members of the vehicle manufacturer's distribution system. 4. The vehicle repair and maintenance information shall always be available, except as required for maintenance purposes of the information system. 5. For the purposes of manufacture and servicing of OBD-compatible replacement or service parts and diagnostic tools and test equipment, manufacturers shall provide the relevant OBD andÂ vehicle repair and maintenance information on a non-discriminatory basis to any interested component, diagnostic tools or test equipment manufacturer or repairer. 6. For the purposes of the design and manufacture of automotive equipment for alternative fuel vehicles, manufacturers shall provide the relevant OBD andÂ vehicle repair and maintenance information on a non-discriminatory basis to any interested manufacturer, installer or repairer of equipment for alternative fuel vehicles. 7. When applying for EC type approval or national type approval, the manufacturer shall provide the type approval authority with proof of compliance with this Regulation relating to access toÂ vehicle repair and maintenance information and to the information referred toÂ in paragraphÂ 5. In the event that such information is not yet available, or does not yet conform to this Regulation andÂ its implementing measures at that pointÂ in time, the manufacturer shall provide it within six months from the date of type approval. If such proof of compliance is not provided within that period, the approval authority shall take appropriate measures to ensure compliance. The manufacturer shall make subsequent amendments and supplements toÂ vehicle repair and maintenance information available on its websites at the same time they are made available to authorised repairers. ArticleÂ 7
Fees for access toÂ vehicle repair and maintenance information
1. Manufacturers may charge reasonable and proportionate fees for access toÂ vehicle repair and maintenance information covered by this Regulation; a fee is not reasonable or proportionate if it discourages access by failing to take into account the extent to which the independent operator uses it. 2.
Manufacturers shall make available vehicle repair and maintenance information on a daily, monthly, and yearly basis, with fees for access to such information varying in accordance with the respective periods of time for which access is granted. ArticleÂ 8
Implementing measures
The measures necessary for implementation of ArticlesÂ 6 andÂ 7, which are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Regulation, by supplementing it, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred toÂ in ArticleÂ 15(3). This shall include the definition and updating of technical specifications relating to the way in which OBD andÂ vehicle repair and maintenance information shall be provided, with special attention being paid to the specific needs of SMEs. ArticleÂ 9
Report
Not later than 2Â JulyÂ 2011, the Commission shallÂ present to the European Parliament and to the Council a report on the operation of the system of access toÂ vehicle repair and maintenance information, with particular consideration being given to the effect on competition and the operation of the internal market and the environmental benefits. TheÂ report shall consider whether itÂ would be appropriate toÂ consolidate all provisions governing access toÂ vehicle repair and maintenance information within a revised framework directive on type approval. CHAPTER IV
OBLIGATIONS OF MEMBER STATES
ArticleÂ 10
Type approval
1. With effect from 2Â JulyÂ 2007, if a manufacturer so requests, the national authorities may not, on grounds relating to emissions or fuel consumption of vehicles, refuse to grant EC type approval or national type approval for a new type of vehicle, or prohibit the registration, sale or entry into service of a new vehicle, where the vehicle concerned complies with this Regulation andÂ its implementing measures, andÂ in particular with the Euro 5 limit values set out in Table 1 of AnnexÂ I or with the Euro 6 limit values set out in Table 2 of AnnexÂ I. 2. With effect from 1Â SeptemberÂ 2009, and from 1Â SeptemberÂ 2010 in the case of categoryÂ N1 class II andÂ III andÂ category N2 vehicles, the national authorities shall refuse, on grounds relating to emissions or fuel consumption, to grant EC type approval or national type approval for new types of vehicle which do not comply with this Regulation andÂ its implementing measures, andÂ in particular with the Annexes, with the exception of the EuroÂ 6 limit values set out in Table 2 of AnnexÂ I. For the test on tailpipe emissions, the limit values applied toÂ vehicles designed to fulfil specific social needs shall be the same as for category N1 class III vehicles. 3. With effect from 1Â JanuaryÂ 2011, and from 1Â JanuaryÂ 2012 in the case of category N1 classÂ II andÂ III andÂ categoryÂ N2 vehicles andÂ vehicles designed to fulfil specific social needs, national authorities shall, in the case of new vehicles which do not comply with this Regulation andÂ its implementing measures, andÂ in particular with the Annexes with the exception of the Euro 6 limit values set out in Table 2 of AnnexÂ I, consider certificates of conformity to be no longer valid for the purposes of ArticleÂ 7(1) of DirectiveÂ 70/156/EEC and shall, on grounds relating to emissions or fuel consumption, prohibit the registration, sale or entry into service of such vehicles. For the test on tailpipe emissions, the limit values applied toÂ vehicles designed to fulfil specific social needs shall be the same as for categoryÂ N1 classÂ III vehicles. 4. With effect from 1Â SeptemberÂ 2014, and from 1Â SeptemberÂ 2015 in the case of categoryÂ N1 class II andÂ III andÂ category N2 vehicles, the national authorities shall refuse, on grounds relating to emissions or fuel consumption, to grant EC type approval or national type approval for new types of vehicle which do not comply with this Regulation andÂ its implementing measures, andÂ in particular with the EuroÂ 6 limit values set out in TableÂ 2 of AnnexÂ I. 5.
With effect from 1Â SeptemberÂ 2015, and from 1Â SeptemberÂ 2016 in the case of categoryÂ N1 class II andÂ III andÂ category N2 vehicles, national authorities shall, in the case of new vehicles which do not comply with this Regulation andÂ its implementing measures, andÂ in particular with the Euro 6 limit values set out in Table 2 of AnnexÂ I, consider certificates of conformity to be no longer valid for the purposes of ArticleÂ 7(1) of Directive 70/156/EEC and shall, on grounds relating to emissions or fuel consumption, prohibit the registration, sale or entry into service of such vehicles. ArticleÂ 11
Type approval of replacement parts
1. For new replacement pollution control devices intended to be fitted on vehicles approved under this Regulation, national authorities shall prohibit their sale orÂ installation on a vehicle if they are not of a type in respect of which a type approval has been granted in compliance with this Regulation andÂ its implementing measures. 2. National authorities may continue to grant extensions to EC type approvals for replacement pollution control devices intended for standards preceding this Regulation under the terms which originally applied. National authorities shall prohibit the sale orÂ installation on a vehicle of such replacement pollution control devices unless they are of a type in respect of which a relevant type approval has been granted. 3. Replacement pollution control devices intended to be fitted on vehicles type approved prior to the adoption of component type approval requirements are exempt from the requirements of paragraphsÂ 1 andÂ 2. ArticleÂ 12
Financial incentives
1. Member States may make provision for financial incentives that apply toÂ vehicles in series production which comply with this Regulation andÂ its implementing measures. Those incentives shall be valid for all new vehicles offered for sale on the market of a Member State which comply at least with the emission limit values in Table 1 of AnnexÂ I in advance of the dates set out in ArticleÂ 10(3); they shall cease on those dates. Financial incentives that apply exclusively toÂ vehicles which comply with the emission limit values in Table 2 of AnnexÂ I may be granted for such new vehicles offered for sale on the market of a Member State from the dates set out in ArticleÂ 10(3) in advance of the dates set out in ArticleÂ 10(5); they shall cease on the dates set out in ArticleÂ 10(5). 2. Member States may grant financial incentives for the retrofitting of in-use vehicles and for scrapping vehicles which do not comply. 3.

The penalties provided for must be effective, proportionate and dissuasive. Member States shall notify those provisions to the Commission by 2Â JanuaryÂ 2009 and shall notify it without delay of any subsequent amendment affecting them. 2. The types of infringements which are subject to a penalty shall include:
(a)
making false declarations during the approval procedures or procedures leading to a recall;
(b)
falsifying test results for type approval orÂ in-service conformity;
(c)
withholding data or technical specifications which could lead to recall or withdrawal of type approval;
(d)
use of defeat devices;
and
(e)
refusal to provide access toÂ information.
CHAPTER V
FINAL PROVISIONS
ArticleÂ 14
Redefinition of specifications
1. The Commission shall consider including methane emissions in the calculation of carbon dioxide emissions. If necessary, the Commission shall present a proposal to the EuropeanÂ Parliament and the Council with measures to account for, or limit, methane emissions. 2. After the completion of the UN/ECE Particulate Measurement Programme, conducted under the auspices of the World Forum for Harmonisation of Vehicle Regulations, and at the latest upon entry into force of Euro 6, the Commission shall adopt the following measures, which are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Regulation, inter alia by supplementing it, without lowering the existing ambition level with regard to the environment:
(a)
amendment of this Regulation in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred toÂ in ArticleÂ 15(3) for the purpose of recalibrating the particulate mass based limit values set out in AnnexÂ I to this Regulation, andÂ introducing particle number based limit values in that Annex so that they correlate broadly with the petrol and diesel mass limit values;
(b)
