Introduction

This document is the successor to the August 1998 version of the EPA “IM240 & Evap Technical Guidance” and

incorporates changes made since its publication. The following changes have been incorporated in this release of

the EPA I/M technical guidance:

1) All references to the EPA evaporative emission purge test have been removed. Standards, procedures,

specifications, and quality control practices are described in the August 1998 technical guidance.

2) A spreadsheet and example for usage of the Modal Fast Pass concept have been posted with the IM240 & Evap

Technical Guidance on the EPA I/M web site..

3) K1 and K2 coefficients have been changed in 85.2205(b)(3)(iv)(E) to make them technically correct.

4) The exponent in the humidity correction factor in 85.2205(b)(3)(xi)(F) has been corrected for a typographical

error.

5) References to procedures for treatment of OBD II evaporative emission controlled vehicles have been revised to

state that guidance for these vehicles will be published in a separate document, not a revision of the IM240 & Evap

Technical Guidance.

6) The standard for the fuel inlet pressure test, 85.2205(d)(2)(i) has corrected a typographical error. The value “8"

has been changed to “6.”

7) 85.2222(a)(2) has added a sentence stating fuel volatility is also a factor contributing to test variability when

conducting the fuel inlet pressure test.

8) 85.2226(a)(3)(iii) has been revised to specify response time measurements at 2000, base inertia, and 5500

pounds of inertia.

9) 85.2227(b)(1)(i) has been added to specifically permit the use of flow based leak detection methods, but no

standards have been proposed at present.

10) The text in 85.2227(c)(1)(iv) has been revised to clarify the term “automated.” The new wording states

automatic operation means automated measurement of the pass/fail condition and a requirement for a real time data

link.

11) Paragraphs (ii) and (iii) of 85.2234 have been modified to provide more flexible load settings at 50 and 20 mph

to achieve longer and more measurable coast down times. The 22 to 18 mph coastdown limit has been changed to

± 6 seconds.

12) The 0.4% of point tolerance in 85.2234(d)(3) has been revised to ± 2% of point of a specific analyzer range,

and the first sentence is modified to state its intent is to apply to the initial setting of a span point.

13) Paragraph 4 of 85.2234(g)(4) has been revised to state that driving trace quality is an example of how control

charts for individual inspectors may used.

14) An equation has been added to 85.2239(b)(6) to define how “gpme” is calculated.
15) Appendix I, Derivation of GTRL Coefficients has been revised to clarify its content, and make it more

compatible with terms and equations provided by Sierra Research in the supporting documentation when the EPA

I/M Look-up Table is revised.

§85.2205 Test Standards

(a) IM240 Emission Standards

(1) Two Ways to Pass Standards. If the corrected, composite emission rates calculated in

§85.2205(b) exceed the standards for any exhaust component, additional analysis of test results

shall look at the second phase of the driving cycle separately. Phase 2 shall include second 94

through second 239. Second-by-second emission rates in grams, and composite emission rates

in grams per mile for Phase 2 and for the entire test shall be recorded for each gas. If the

composite emission level is equal to or below the composite standard, or if the Phase 2 grams

per mile emission level is equal to or below the applicable Phase 2 standard, then the vehicle

shall pass the test for that exhaust component.

(2) Start-up Standards. Start-up standards should be used during the first two years of program

operation. Tier 1 standards are recommended for 1996 and newer vehicles and may be used for

1994 and newer vehicles certified to Tier 1 standards as well. The following exhaust emissions

standards, in grams per mile, are recommended:

(i) Light Duty Vehicles.

The heavy-duty truck standards provided here were calculated using new vehicle certification standards and

have not been subjected to field testing. This document provides no other guidance on heavy duty truck testing. 

Thus, anyone interested in performing IM240 tests on heavy-duty trucks should proceed with appropriate caution.

(4) Fast-Pass. Vehicles may be fast-passed using the following algorithm.

(i) Fast-Pass Algorithm. Beginning at second 30 of the driving cycle, cumulative secondby-second emission levels for each second, calculated from the start of the cycle in

grams, shall be compared to the cumulative fast-pass emission standards for the second

under consideration. For exhaust components subject to Phase 2 standards, cumulative

second-by-second emission levels calculated in grams from second 109 forward shall

be compared to cumulative second-by-second fast-pass Phase 2 emission standards for

the second under consideration.

(ii) Fast-Pass Standards. A vehicle shall pass the IM240 for a given exhaust component if

either of the following conditions occur:
5

(A) cumulative emissions of each exhaust are below the full cycle fast-pass

standard for the second under consideration; or,

(B) at second 109 and later, (if the exhaust component is subject to Phase 2

standards) cumulative Phase 2 emissions of each exhaust component

are below the Phase 2 fast-pass standards for the second under

consideration;

(iii) Fast-Pass End of Test. Testing may be terminated when fast-pass criteria are met for

all subject exhaust components.

(iv) Applicability of Fast-Pass Standards. If a fast-pass determination cannot be made for

all subject exhaust components before the driving cycle ends, the pass/fail

determination for each component shall be based on composite or Phase 2 emissions

over the full driving cycle as described in §85.2205(a)(1).

(v) Fast-Pass Algorithms. Vehicles may be fast-passed using other approaches if they are

approved by the Administrator. States are encouraged to develop and use equations to

define fast-pass standards for each composite emission standard rather than using

tabular standards for each second of the test. 

EPA-developed, tabular, fast-passed standards are included in Appendix A. 

Fast-pass standards developed by Radian for Colorado are included in Appendix B. 

Appendix C contains fast-pass standards generated by EPA for Wisconsin at the state's

request. This was done to allow the state to move toward implementing final IM240

standards. 

Appendix D contains fast-pass guidelines and 0.8 g/mi HC composite standards along

with 0.5 g/mi HC Phase 2 cut points developed by Sierra Research under contract 68-

C4-0056 Work Assignment 2-04. A complete listing of the modal regression

coefficients would be too large to print in an appendix; however, the description in

Appendix D is intended to provide background information and the rational behind this

methodology. A complete series of coefficients are available on EPA's web site.

(b) Transient Test Score Calculations

(1) Composite Scores. The composite scores for the test shall be determined by dividing the sum of

the mass of each exhaust component obtained in each second of the test by the number of miles

driven in the test. The first data point is the sample taken from t=0 to t=1. The composite test

value shall be calculated by the equation in §85.2205(b)(1)(i):
6

(i) Composite gpm = 

emissions(g)

distance(m iles)

s=0

s

s=0

s

∑

∑

Where: s = duration of test in seconds for fast pass

= 239 seconds for complete IM240

(2) Second-by-Second Mass Calculations. The mass of each exhaust component shall be calculated

to five significant digits for each second of the test using the following equations:

(i) Hydrocarbon mass: HCmass = Vmix * DensityHC * 

H C

1,000,000

conc

(ii) Carbon Monoxide mass: COmass = Vmix * DensityCO * 

C O

1,000,000

(iii) Oxides of Nitrogen mass: NOxmass = Vmix * DensityNO2 * KH * 

N O

1,000,000

conc

(iv) Carbon Dioxide mass: CO2mass = Vmix * DensityCO2 * 

CO2

conc

(3) Meaning of Terms.

(i) Vmix = The CVS flow rate in cubic feet per second corrected to standard

temperature and pressure.
7

(ii) HCmass = Hydrocarbon emissions in grams per second.

(iii) DensityHC = Density of hydrocarbons is 16.33 grams per cubic foot assuming an

average carbon to hydrogen ratio of 1:1.85 at 68°F and 760 mm Hg

pressure.

(iv) HCconc = Average hydrocarbon concentration per second of the dilute exhaust

sample corrected for background, in ppm carbon equivalent, i.e.,

equivalent propane * 3.

(A) HCconc = HCe - HCd (1 - ) Where:

1

D F

(B) HCe = Hydrocarbon concentration of the dilute exhaust sample, in

ppm carbon equivalent.

(C) HCd = Background hydrocarbon concentration of the dilution air, in

ppm carbon equivalent.

(D) DF = 

13.4

C O 2 (H C C O ) * 1 0 ee e

4 + + −

This is calculated on a second-by-second basis, where CO2 is measured in

% and HC and CO are measured in ppm. Note this DF does not account

for pollutants in the background air and becomes less accurate as the airfuel ratio of the vehicle deviates from stoichiometric.

− + −+ −

This method of calculating DF is also done on a second-by-second basis and

accounts for pollutants in the background air as well as being more accurate

than the method in (D) above when the vehicle deviates from stoichiometric

operation. All concentrations are expressed in volume percent and the values of

the constants for gasoline fuel are: K1 = 7.4806, K2 = 5.5936, and K3 =

57.0945. Appendix E contains additional information on this subject.

If raw emission scores are being determined from dilute measurements, EPA

recommends the use of this method for calculating DF.

(v) COmass = Carbon monoxide emissions in grams per second.

(vi) DensityCO = Density of carbon monoxide is 32.97 grams per cubic foot at 68°F and

760 mm Hg pressure.

This revised method for calculating KH as a function of both T and H is based on work performed by Sierra

Research under contract 68-C4-0056, Work Assignment 2-04. If the calculated value of KH exceeds 2.19, the

value of KH shall be set to 2.19. This analysis used the same MY69, 5-vehicle sample employed for the original

KH factor study that resulted in the current CFR standard KH calculation method (listed in (xi)(A) above). 

However, in many cases IM testing occurs outside the temperature limits set by the CFR for the standard method;

therefore, at this time EPA recommends using the revised method when testing above 86(F.

(5) Determination of Raw Exhaust Concentrations from IM240 Results. Although the IM240 is a

mass-based test, it is possible to estimate tailpipe concentrations from the dilute measurements

for those vehicles only required to undergo an idle test. One method for performing this
10

calculation can be found in SAE manuscript 980678. Additional clarification on this can be

found in Appendix E.

(c) Evaporative System Pressure Test Standards

The methods described below are applicable to pre OBD II evaporative emission controlled

vehicles. OBD II vehicles equipped with evaporative control monitors and certified to the

enhanced evaporative emission standards are being phased-in with the 1996 through 1998

model years. Those vehicles must be tested using either OBD II scan tools, by measuring

pressure loss through an evaporative emission "service port," or by following vehicle

manufacturer specific instruction to avoid damaging rigid vapor lines which are prevalent on

many vehicles equipped with enhanced evaporative emission control systems. Procedures for

using OBD II scan tools will be published in a separate document.

All I/M programs conducting a pressure test must perform a leak check on the gas cap and

provide a unique test result.

(1) Visual Check. The vehicle shall fail the evaporative system visual check if any part of the

system is missing, damaged, improperly connected, or disconnected as described in

§85.2222(b).

(2) Fuel Inlet Pressure Test. 

(i) Pressure Test Method. A vehicle shall fail the pressure test if the fuel vapor control

system isolated between the fuel inlet and a clamp on the line between the fuel tank

and the canister, (located as close to the canister as possible) loses more than 6 inches

of water pressure over a period of 120 seconds starting from a stabilized pressure of

14±1 inch of water.

(ii) Fast-Pass. Fast-pass determinations for the pressure test may be made anytime during

the pressure decay between 20 and 120 seconds if the measured pressure exceeds:

 Pm = P (

0.33 * P 

120 )*t i

i − + 133 .

Where: Pm = Measured pressure in inches of water

Pi = Initial pressure in inches of water

t = Time in seconds

(d) Gas Cap Test Standards

The methods described below are applicable to pre OBD II evaporative emission controlled

vehicles. OBD II vehicles equipped with evaporative control monitors and certified to the

enhanced evaporative emission standards are being phased-in with the 1996 through 1998

model years. Procedures for OBD vehicles will be published in a separate document.
11

Pressure decay methods using a 1 liter head space are currently permitted under the June 1996

version of the IM240 technical guidance. As this method has been widely used in IM240

testing it will continue to be allowed. The pressure decay loss of 6 inches of WC from a

starting pressure of 28 in. WC referenced to 70F and 1 atm and assuming a 1 liter head space,

equates to a flow rate of about 80 cc/min.

(1) Visual Check. The vehicle shall fail the gas cap visual check if the cap is missing, obviously

defective, or the wrong style cap for the vehicle. An example of a wrong style includes a cam

lock cap installed on fill pipe which requires a threaded cap. States conducting cap testing

should work with OEM suppliers to develop a user friendly method of identifying wrong style

gas caps.

(2) Pressure Decay Test Standard. For pressure decay methods using a 1 liter head space and the

June 1996 IM240 technical guidance, the fuel cap shall fail the pressure test if it loses more

than 6 inches of water column (WC) pressure over a period of 10 seconds from a starting

pressure of 28±1 inch WC.

(3) 60 cc/min Flow Standard. The gas cap leak rate may be determined by pressure loss

measurement, direct flow measurement, or flow comparison methods and shall be compared to

a pass/fail flow rate standard of 60 cubic centimeters per minute of air at 30 inches of water

column. The flow rate methods shall be referenced to standard conditions of 70(F and 1 atm. 

If the leak rate exceeds 60 cc/min at a pressure of 30 inches of water column, the cap shall fail

the test.

§85.2221 IM240 Test Procedures

(a) General Requirements

(1) Test Parameters. The following information shall be determined for the vehicle being tested

and used to automatically select the dynamometer inertia, power absorption settings, and

evaporative emission test parameters.

(i) Model Year

(ii) Manufacturer

(iii) Model name

(iv) Body style

(v) Number of cylinders

(vi) Engine displacement

Alternative computerized methods of selecting dynamometer test conditions, such as VIN decoding, may be used.

(2) Ambient Conditions. The ambient temperature, absolute humidity, and barometric pressure

shall be recorded continuously during the transient test, or as a single set of readings if taken

less than 4 minutes prior to the transient driving cycle.

(3) Restart. If shut off, the vehicle shall be restarted as soon as possible before the test and shall be

running at least 30 seconds prior to the transient driving cycle.

(b) Pre-inspection and Preparation

(1) Accessories. All accessories (air conditioning, heat, defogger, radio, automatic traction control

if switchable, etc.) shall be turned off by the inspector, if necessary. 

(2) Traction Control and Four-Wheel Drive (4WD). Vehicles with traction control systems that

cannot be turned off shall not be tested on two wheel drive dynamometers. Vehicles with 4WD

that cannot be turned off shall only be tested on 4WD dynamometers. If the 4WD function can

be disabled, then 4WD vehicles may be tested on two wheel drive dynamometers.

(3) Leaks. The vehicle shall be inspected for exhaust leaks. Audio assessment while blocking

exhaust flow, or measurement of carbon dioxide or other gases, shall be acceptable. Vehicles

with leaking exhaust systems shall be rejected from testing.

(4) Operating Temperature. The vehicle temperature gauge, if equipped and operating, shall be

checked to assess temperature. If the temperature gauge indicates that the engine is well below

(less than 180(F) normal operating temperature, the vehicle shall not be fast-failed and shall get

a second-chance emission test if it fails the initial test for any criteria exhaust component. 

Vehicles in overheated condition shall be rejected from testing.

(5) Tire Condition. Vehicles shall be rejected from testing if tire cords, bubbles, cuts, or other

damage are visible. Vehicles shall be rejected that have space-saver spare tires, or unreasonably

sized tires on the drive axle. Vehicle tires shall be visually checked for adequate pressure level. 

Drive wheel tires that appear low shall be inflated to approximately 30 psi, or to tire side wall
13

pressure, or manufacturer's recommendation. The tires of vehicles being tested for the purposes

of program evaluation under §51.353(c) shall have their tires inflated to tire side wall pressure.

(6) Ambient Background. Background concentrations of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, oxides

of nitrogen, and carbon dioxide (HC, CO, NOx, and CO2, respectively) shall be sampled as

specified in §85.2226(b)(2)(iv) to determine background concentration of dilution air. The

sample shall be taken for a minimum of 15 seconds within 120 seconds of the start of the

transient driving cycle, using the same analyzers used to measure tailpipe emissions except as

provided in §85.2226(c)(4)(iv). Average readings over the 15 seconds for each gas shall be

recorded in the test record. Testing shall be prevented until the average ambient background

levels are less than 20 ppmC HC, 30 ppm CO, and 2 ppm NOx, or outside ambient air levels

(not influenced by station exhaust), whichever are greater.

Other methods that do not employ a fixed analysis time of 15 seconds may be used, if approved

by the Administrator. 

(7) Sample System Purge. While a lane is in operation, the CVS shall continuously purge the CVS

hose between tests. The blower may be turned off if the CVS is not in operation, but the system

shall be purged for 2 minutes prior to the start of a test if the blower has been turned off. The

off time shall be computer monitored and recorded to a history file for quality assurance.

(c) Equipment Positioning and Settings

(1) Roll Rotation. The vehicle shall be maneuvered onto the dynamometer with the drive wheels

positioned on the dynamometer rolls. Prior to test initiation, the rolls shall be rotated until the

vehicle laterally stabilizes on the dynamometer. Drive wheel tires shall be dried if necessary to

prevent slippage during the initial acceleration.

(2) Cooling System. The use of a cooling system is optional when testing at temperatures below

50(F. Furthermore, the hood may be opened at the state's discretion. If a cooling system is in

use, testing shall not begin until the cooling system is positioned and activated. The cooling

system shall be positioned to direct air to the vehicle cooling system, but shall not be directed at

the catalytic converter.

(3) Vehicle Restraint. Testing shall not begin until the vehicle is restrained. Any restraint system

shall meet the requirements of §85.2226(a)(5)(vii). The parking brake shall be set for front

wheel drive vehicles prior to the start of the test. The parking brake need not be set for vehicles

that release the parking brake automatically when the transmission is put in gear.

(4) Dynamometer Settings. Dynamometer power absorption and inertia weight settings shall be

automatically chosen from an EPA-supplied electronic look-up table which will be referenced

based upon the vehicle identification information obtained in 85.2221(a)(1). Vehicles not listed

shall be tested using default power absorption and inertia settings in the latest version of the

EPA I/M Look-up Table, as posted on EPA's web site: www.epa.gov/orcdizux/im.htm

(5) Exhaust Collection System. The exhaust collection system shall be positioned to insure

complete capture of the entire exhaust stream from the tailpipe during the transient driving

cycle. The system shall meet the requirements of §85.2226(b)(2).
14

(d) Vehicle Conditioning

(1) Queuing Time. When the vehicle queue exceeds 20 minutes, a vehicle shall get a secondchance emission test if it fails the initial test and all criteria exhaust components are at or below

1.5 times the standard. At the state’s discretion, second-chance testing may be granted if

criteria exhaust components exceed any preset level above the standard.

(2) Program Evaluation. Vehicles being tested for the purpose of program evaluation under

§51.353(c) shall receive two full transient emission tests (i.e., a full 240 seconds each). Results

from both tests and the test order shall be separately recorded in the test record. Emission

scores and results provided to the motorist may be from either test.

(3) Discretionary Preconditioning. 

(i) Any vehicle may be preconditioned by maneuvering the vehicle on to the dynamometer

and driving the 94 to 239 second segment of the transient cycle in 85.2221(e)(1). This

method has been demonstrated to adequately precondition the vast majority of vehicles

(SAE 962091).

Other preconditioning cycles may be developed and used if approved by the

Administrator.

(ii) Alternatively, modal analysis of the failing second-by-second test data may be

performed to identify vehicles that would benefit from additional pre-conditioning. 

Appendix F provides retest criteria developed by Sierra Research under EPA contract

68-C4-0056 Work Assignment 2-04.

47 25 95 0 143 24.7 191 54.6 239 0

(2) Driving Trace. The inspector shall follow an electronic, visual depiction of the time/speed

relationship of the transient driving cycle, or trace. The visual depiction of the trace shall be of

sufficient magnification and adequate detail to allow accurate tracking by the driver and shall

permit the driver to anticipate upcoming speed changes. The trace shall also clearly indicate

gear shifts as specified in §85.2221(e)(3).

(3) Shift Schedule. For vehicles with manual transmissions, inspectors shall shift gears according

to the following shift schedule:

Shift Sequence

(gear)

Speed

 (miles per hour)

 Nominal Cycle Time

(seconds)

 1 - 2 15 9.3

 2 - 3 25 47.0

 De-clutch 15 87.9

 1 - 2 15 101.6

 2 - 3 25 105.5

 3 - 2 17 119.0

 2 - 3 25 145.8

 3 - 4 40 163.6

 4 - 5 45 167.0

 5 - 6 50 180.0

 De-clutch 15 234.5

Gear shifts shall occur at the points in the driving cycle where the specified speeds are obtained. 

For vehicles with fewer than six forward gears the same schedule shall be followed while

disregarding shifts above the highest gear.

(4) Speed Excursion Limits. Speed excursion limits shall apply as follows:

(i) Upper Limit. The upper limit is 2 mph higher than the highest point on the trace within

1 second of the given time.

(ii) Lower Limit. The lower limit is 2 mph lower than the lowest point on the trace within

1 second of the given time.

(iii) Speed Variations. Speed variations greater than the tolerances (such as may occur

during gear changes) are acceptable provided they occur for no more than 2 seconds on

any occasion.

(iv) Underpowered Vehicles. Speeds lower than those prescribed during accelerations are

acceptable provided the vehicle is operated at maximum available power during such

accelerations until the vehicle speed is within the excursion limits. If the vehicle is

underpowered and unable to adequately follow the trace, it may at the State’s

discretion be rejected from testing or given an idle test.
17

(v) Exceedances. Exceedances of the limits in §85.2221(5)(ii) through §85.2221(5)(iii)

shall automatically result in a void test. The station manager can override the

automatic void of a test if the manager determines that the conditions specified in

§85.2221(e)(4)(iv) occurred.

(5) Speed Variation Limits.

(i) Limits. Based on work performed under contract 68-C4-0056, Work Assignment 2-04

the following Positive Kinetic Energy limits were developed by Sierra Research. 

These results are based on an analysis of 16,581 IM240 tests conducted in AZ.

(iii) PKE Limits. Full Test PKE Limits:

Upper Limit 3456 mi/hr2

Lower Limit 3082 mi/hr2

NOTE: The test cycle shall be invalid for a pass/fail determination if the PKE value is

below the lower limit for a passing vehicle or above the upper limit for a failing

vehicle. PKE values alone should not be used to make an early pass/fail

determination.

Test cycles with PKE values outside the lower and upper limits shall be valid for

preconditioning provided that all other requirements are met.

(iv) Second-by-Second Limits. Second-by-Second PKE upper and lower limits are listed in

Appendix G.

(6) Distance Criteria. The actual distance traveled for the transient driving shall be measured. If

the absolute difference between the measured distance and the theoretical distance for the actual

test exceeds 0.05 miles, the test shall be void.

(7) Vehicle Stalls. Vehicle stalls during the test shall void the test and result in a new test. More

than 3 stalls shall result in rejecting the vehicle from testing.
18

(8) Inertia Weight Selection. The inertia weight selected for the vehicle shall be verified as

specified in §85.2226(a)(1)(i). For systems employing electrical inertia simulation, an

algorithm identifying the actual inertia force applied during the transient driving cycle shall be

used to determine proper inertia simulation.

(9) CVS Operation. The CVS operation shall be verified for each test for a CFV-type CVS by

measuring either the absolute pressure difference across the venturi or measuring the blower

vacuum behind the venturi for minimum levels needed to maintain choke flow for the venturi

design. The operation of an SSV-type CVS shall be verified throughout the test by monitoring

the difference in pressure between upstream and throat pressure. The minimum values shall be

determined from system calibrations. Monitored pressure differences below the minimum

values shall void the test.

(f) Emission Measurements

(1) Exhaust Measurement. The emission analysis system shall sample and record dilute exhaust

HC, CO, CO2, and NOx during the transient driving cycle as described in §85.2226(c).
19

§85.2222 Evaporative System Pressure and Gas Cap Test Procedures

(a) General Requirements

(1) Pressure Test. The on-vehicle pressure tests described in §85.2222(c) shall be performed after

any tailpipe emission test. Vehicles receiving a pressure test specified in §85.2222(c) should

also be given a gas cap leak test specified in §§85.2222(d).

(2) Controlling Test Variability. The pressure test shall be conducted in a manner that minimizes

changes in temperature, since pressure measurements are affected by changes in the vapor space

temperature. Volume compensation for the pressure test is not required, but the vapor space

volume will affect the pressure decay measurement. Excessive fuel vapor pressure, although

not controllable at the time of test, may affect the accuracy and repeatability of the result.

(3) Gas Cap Test Requirement. A gas cap test described in §85.2222(d) may be performed before

or after the tailpipe emission test.

(4) Alternative Techniques. Alternative gas cap or pressure test procedures may be used if they are

shown to be equivalent or better than those described below.

(b) Pre-inspection and Preparation

(1) Visual Inspection - Canister. The evaporative canister(s) shall be visually checked to the degree

practical. A missing or obviously damaged canister(s) shall fail the visual evaporative system

check.

(2) Visual Inspection - System. The evaporative system hoses shall be visually inspected for the

appearance of proper routing, connection, and condition, to the degree practical. If any

evaporative system hose is misrouted, disconnected, or damaged, the vehicle shall fail the visual

evaporative system check.

(3) Visual Inspection - Gas Cap. If the gas cap is missing, obviously defective, or the wrong style

cap for the vehicle, the vehicle shall fail the visual inspection.

(c) Fuel Inlet Pressure Test

(1) Equipment Set-up. The vapor vent line(s) from the gas tank to the canister(s) shall be clamped

off as close to the canister(s) as practical without damaging evaporative system hardware. Dual

fuel tanks shall be checked individually if the complete vapor control system can not be

accessed by pressurizing from the fill pipe interface of only one fuel tank. The proper adapter,

as specified in §85.2227(c)(2)(i) shall be selected.

(2) Starting Pressure. The gas tank shall be pressurized to 14±1 inch of WC, or a vehicle specific

pressure as identified in the I/M Look-up Table.

(3) Stability. Pressure stability shall be monitored for a period of 10 seconds prior to the start of

the pressure decay measurement. One definition of stability is a loss of no more than 5 inches

WC over a 10 second period when the initial pressure is 14±1 inch WC. If the loss of pressure

in 10 seconds exceeds this value, two more attempts shall be made to reach stability. Failure to

achieve stability likely indicates the presence of a large leak and therefore failure of the pressure

test. Alternate definitions of stability may be proposed by the State and approved by the

Administrator. Stability criteria for flow comparator or direct flow measurement methods do

not apply. 
20

(4) Volume Compensation. Pressure decay measurements are affected by the vapor volume in the

fuel tank. Volume-compensated pressure decay measurements are presently not required. By

design, flow comparator or flow measurement methods do not require volume corrections.

(5) Pressure Monitoring. Close the pressure source and measure the loss in pressure over a 120

ambient air shall be at the vehicle tailpipe exit as in §86.109-90(a)(2)(iv). The

dilution mixing tee shall be capable of collecting exhaust from all light-duty

vehicle and light-duty truck exhaust systems. The design used shall not cause

static pressure in the tailpipe to change such that the emission levels are

significantly affected. A change of ±1.0 inch of water or less, as measured at

the tailpipe, shall be acceptable.

(B) Locating Device. The mixing tee shall have a device for positively locating

the tee relative to the tailpipe with respect to distance from the tailpipe, and

extreme position on the dynamometer to the other extreme, that mixing tee

will collect all of the exhaust sample.

(iii) Dual Exhaust. For dual exhaust systems, the design used shall insure that each leg of

design of the "Tee" intersection for the dual CVS hoses is a "Y" that minimizes the

flow loss from each leg of the "Y," if each leg of the dual exhaust collection system is

approximately equal in length (± 1 foot), and if the dilution area at the end of each leg

is approximately equal. In addition, the CVS flow capacity shall be such that the

entrance flow velocity for each leg of the dual exhaust system is sufficient to entrain

all of the vehicle's exhaust from each tailpipe.

(iv) Background Sample. The mixing tee shall be used to collect the background sample.

The position of the mixing tee for taking the background sample shall be within 12

lateral and 12 longitudinal feet of the position during the transient driving cycle, and

Subparts B, D, and N. Analytical instruments shall perform in this manner in the full

range of operating conditions in the lane environment.

(ii) Alternative Designs. Alternative analytic equipment specifications, materials, designs,

or detection methods may be allowed upon a determination by the Administrator, that

for the purpose of properly conducting an approved short test, the evidence supporting

such deviations will not significantly affect the proper measurement of emissions.

(2) Detection Methods and Instrument Ranges

(i) Total Hydrocarbon Analysis. Total hydrocarbon analysis shall be determined by a

flame ionization detector. If a 700 SCFM CVS is used, the analyzer calibration curve

shall cover at least the range of 0 ppmC to 2,000 ppmC. Use of a different CVS flow

capacity shall require an adjustment to these ranges. Appropriate documentation

supporting any adjustment in ranges shall be available. The calibration curve must

comply with the quality control specifications in §85.2234(d) for calibration curve

generation.

(ii) Carbon Monoxide Analysis. CO analysis shall be determined using a non-dispersive

infrared analyzer. If a 700 SCFM CVS is used, CO analysis shall cover at least the

range of 0 ppm to 10,000 ppm (1%). In order to meet the calibration curve

requirements, two CO analyzers may be required - one from 0 to 1000 or 2000 ppm,

and one from 0 to 1% CO. Use of a different CVS flow capacity shall require an

adjustment to these ranges. Appropriate documentation supporting any adjustment in

ranges shall be available. The calibration curve requirements and the quality control

specifications in §85.2234(d) apply to both analyzers.

chemiluminescence. The NOx measurement shall be the sum of nitrogen oxide and

nitrogen dioxide. Alternatively, NOx measurements may be made by re-calibrating the

chemiluminescence analyzer in NO only mode, then running the analyzer in NO only

mode and multiplying the result by 1.03. This will eliminate the need for the converter

and flow balance checks in §85.2234(d)(5) and §85.2234(d)(6).

If a 700 SCFM CVS is used, the NOx analysis shall cover at least the range of 0 ppm

to 500 ppm. Use of a different CVS flow capacity shall require an adjustment to these
28

ranges. Appropriate documentation supporting any adjustment in ranges shall be

available. The calibration curve must comply with the quality control specifications in

§85.2234(d) for calibration curve generation.

measured concentrations, according to the method in §85.2205(b). The corrected

concentrations shall be converted to grams, for each second, using the equations

specified in §85.2205(b) to combine the concentrations with the CVS flow over the

same interval. The grams of emissions per test phase shall be determined using the

equations in §85.2205(b).

(iv) Multiple Analyzers. When multiple analyzers are used for any constituent, the

integration system shall simultaneously integrate both analyzers. The integrated values

for the lowest analyzer in range shall be used for each second.

(v) Background Samples. For all constituents, the background concentration levels from

the lowest range shall be used, including the case where multiple analyzers may have

been used.

(5) Analytical System Design.

(i) Materials. All materials in contact with exhaust gas prior to and throughout the

measurement portion of the system shall be unaffected by and shall not affect the

sample (i.e., the materials shall not react with the sample, and neither shall they taint

the sample as a result of out gassing). Acceptable materials include stainless steel,

Teflon, silicon rubber, and Tedlar®.

(ii) System Filters. The sample system shall have an easily replaceable filter element to

prevent particulate matter from reducing the reliability of the analytical system. The

intermediate calculation variables shall be available to be downloaded to electronic

files or hard copy. These variables shall include those that calculate the vehicle

emission test results, perform emission analyzer and dynamometer function checks,

and perform quality assurance and quality control measurements.

these coast downs shall be established based on the dynamometer design and quality

control monitoring. 

(ii) Load Settings. Inertia and power absorber settings shall be representative of vehicle

test conditions, and shall result in nominal coast down times of 15-20 seconds when

ETW = The Equivalent Test Weight in pounds

VI = The initial roll velocity in feet/second

accuracy, roll geometry, dynamometer simulation error, electric inertia response time,

and parasitic loss measurement. These criteria are specified in §85.2226(a).

(ii) Base Inertia Verification. The base inertia of dynamometers shall be verified before

dynamometer acceptance. The base inertia weight plus individual prime weights shall

be verified for dynamometers which simulate inertia with mechanical flywheels. The
33

specified base inertia shall agree with acceptance testing measurements within ±10

pounds.

(iii) Independent Speed and Distance Verification. An independent method of verifying

dynamometer roll speed and distance measurement accuracy shall be performed before

dynamometer acceptance to ensure compliance with the specifications in

§85.2226(a)(5)(v).

(c) Constant Volume Sampler

(1) Flow Calibration. The flow of the CVS shall be calibrated at six flow rates upon initial

installation, 6 months following installation, and every 12 months thereafter. SPC tracer gas

injection data may be used to verify CVS flow in lieu of the annual calibration requirement. 

This data shall be made available to EPA upon request. The flow rates shall include the

nominal rated flow-rate and a rate below the rated flow-rate for both critical flow venturis and

subsonic venturis, and a flow-rate above the rated flow for sub-sonic venturis. The flow

calibration points shall cover the range of variation in flow that typically occurs when testing. 

A complete calibration shall be performed following repairs to the CVS that could affect flow.

(2) System Check. CVS flow calibration at the nominal CVS design flow shall be checked once

per day using a procedure equivalent to that in §86.119(c). Deviations greater than ±4% shall

result in automatic lockout of official testing until corrected. At the State’s discretion, the

frequency of this may be reduced to weekly.

(3) Cleaning Flow Passages. The sample probe shall be checked at least once per month, and

cleaned if necessary in order to maintain proper sample flow. CVS venturi passages shall be

checked once per year and cleaned if necessary.

(4) Probe Flow. The indicator identifying the presence of proper probe flow for the system design

(e.g., proportional flow for CFV systems, minimum flow for time correlation of different

analyzers) shall be checked on a daily basis. Lack of proper flow shall require corrective action.

(5) Leak Check. The vacuum portion of the sample system shall be checked for leaks on a daily

basis and each time the system is serviced.

(6) System Response Time Check. The response time of each analyzer shall be checked upon

initial installation and after each repair or modification to the flow system that would reasonably

be expected to affect the response time, and at least once per week. The check shall include the

complete sample system from the sample probe to the analyzer. Statistical process control shall

be used to monitor compliance and establish quality control limits. At a minimum, response

time measurements that deviate significantly from the average response time for all CVS

systems designed to the same specification in the program shall require corrective action before

testing may resume.

(7) Mixing Tee Acceptance Test.

(i) Static Pressure Requirement. The design of the mixing tee shall be evaluated by

running the transient driving cycle on at least two vehicles, representing the high and

low ends of engine displacement and inertia. Changes in the static tailpipe pressure

with and without CVS, measured on a second-by-second basis within 3 inches of the

end of the tailpipe, shall not exceed ±1.0 inch of water.

(ii) Single Exhaust System. The ability of the mixing tee design to capture all of the

exhaust as a vehicle moves laterally from one extreme position on the dynamometer to

the other extreme shall be evaluated with back-to-back testing of three vehicles,
34

representing the high and low ends of engine displacement and inertia. The back-toback testing shall be done with the mixing tee at the tailpipe and with an airtight

connection to the tailpipe (i.e., the mixing tee will be effectively moved downstream,

as in typical FTP testing). The difference in carbon-balance fuel economy between the

mixing tee located at the vehicle and the positive connection shall be no greater than

5%.

(iii) Dual Exhaust System. The design of the dual exhaust system shall be evaluated with

back-to-back testing of three vehicles, representing the high and low ends of engine

displacement and inertia, with an airtight connection to the tailpipe (i.e., the mixing tee

will be effectively moved downstream, as in typical FTP testing, for these qualification

tests). The difference in carbon-balance fuel economy between the two methods shall

be no greater than 5%.

(d) Analysis System

(1) Calibration Curve Generation. 

(i) Initial Installation Calibration. Upon initial installation, calibration curves shall be

generated for each analyzer. If an analyzer has more than one measurement

transducer, each transducer shall be considered as a separate analyzer in the analysis

system for the purposes of curve generation and analysis system checks.

(ii) Complete Range Calibration. The calibration curve shall consider the entire range of

the analyzer as one curve.

(iii) Calibration Point Spacing. When both a low range analyzer and a high range analyzer

are used for a single gas (e.g., CO), the high range analyzer shall use at least 5

calibration points plus zero in the lower portion of the high range scale corresponding

to approximately 100% of the full-scale value of the low range analyzer. For all

analyzers, at least 5 calibration points shall be used to define the calibration curve

above the 5 lower calibration points. The calibration zero gas shall be used to set the

analyzer to zero.

Alternatively, gas dividers may be used to generate a 10-point calibration curve

employing equally spaced points. 

(iv) Calibration Curve Fits. The calibration curves generated shall be a polynomial of the

best fit and no greater than 4th order, and shall fit the data within ±2.0% at each

calibration point as specified in §86.120-90, §86.122-78, §86.123-78, and §86.124-78.

(v) Mid-scale Verification. Each curve shall be verified for each analyzer with a

confirming calibration standard between 30-60% of full scale that is not used for curve

generation. Each confirming standard shall be measured by the curve within 2.5%.

(2) Spanning Frequency. The zero and up-scale span points shall be checked at 3 hour intervals

following the daily mid-scale curve check specified in §85.2234(d)(4) and adjusted if necessary. 

If the up-scale span point drifts by more than 2.0% from the previous check official testing shall

be prevented and corrective action shall be taken to bring the system into compliance. If the

zero point drifts by more than 2 ppmC HC, 1 ppm NOx, 10 ppm CO, or 40 ppm CO2, official

testing shall be prevented and corrective action shall be taken to bring the system into

compliance, or the unit may be zeroed prior to each test.

(3) Limit Check. The tolerance on the initial adjustment of a change in the up-scale span point

shall be ± 2% of point on the appropriate analyzer range. A software algorithm to perform the

zero and span adjustment and subsequent calibration curve adjustment shall be used. 
35

Cumulative software up-scale zero and span adjustments greater than ± 10% from the latest

calibration curve shall cause official testing to be prevented and corrective action shall be taken

to bring the system into compliance. Zero and span potentiometers on the analyzer may be used

between calibrations to minimize software corrections; however, a zero and span check shall be

performed after any adjustment of a potentiometer. 

(4) Daily Calibration Checks. The curve for each analyzer shall be checked and adjusted to

correctly read zero using a working zero gas, and an up-scale span gas within the tolerance in

§85.2234(d)(3), and then by reading a mid-scale span gas within 2.5% of point, on each

operating day prior to vehicle testing. If the analyzer does not read the mid-scale span point

within 2.5% of point, the analyzer shall automatically be prevented from official testing. The

up-scale span gas concentration for each analyzer may be up to 90% of full scale, and the midpoint concentration shall correspond to approximately 15% of full scale.

(5) Monthly NOx Converter Checks. The converter efficiency of the NO2 to NO converter shall

be checked on a monthly basis. The check shall be equivalent to §86.123-78 (for reference see

TSD Form 305-01) except that the concentration of the NO gas shall be in the range of 75-400

ppm. Alternative methods may be used if approved by the Administrator.

This check is not required if the measurements of NO only are being performed per

85.2226(c)(2)(iv) with the NOx analyzer run in NO only mode.

(6) Monthly NO/NOx Flow Balance. The flow balance between the NO and NOx test modes shall

be checked monthly. The check may be combined with the NOx converter check as illustrated

in EPA NVFEL test laboratory Form 305-01.

This check is not required if the measurements of NO only are being performed per

85.2226(c)(2)(iv) with the NOx analyzer run in NO only mode.

(7) Monthly Calibration Checks. The basic calibration curve shall be verified monthly by the same

procedure used to generate the curve in §85.2234(d)(1), and to the same tolerances.

(8) FID Check.

(i) FID Optimization. Upon initial operation, and after maintenance to the detector, each

FID shall be checked, and adjusted if necessary, for proper peaking and

characterization using the procedures described in SAE Paper No. 770141 or by

analyzer manufacturer recommended procedures.

(ii) Methane Response. The response of each FID to a methane concentration of

approximately 50 ppm CH4 shall be checked once per month. If the response is

outside of the range of 1.00 to 1.30, corrective action shall be taken to bring the FID

response within this range. The response shall be computed by the equation in

§85.2234(d)(8)(iii). The frequency of this check may be reduced by providing 1 year

of data for each analyzer that demonstrates less frequent checks are acceptable. If less

frequent checks are used, the response check data shall be made available to EPA upon

request.

(iii) Methane Response Definition. Ratio of Methane Response = FID response to CH4

gas in ppmC /ppm CH4 in the cylinder.

(9) Mid-Span or Cross-Checks. On a quarterly basis, and whenever gas bottles are changed, each

analyzer in a given facility shall analyze a sample of a test gas. The test gas used for these cross

checks shall be a 1% NIST traceable mid-span bottle and the same bottle shall be used for all
36

analyzers at a given facility. The analyzer shall read this mid-span gas within 2.5% of the

labeled value or the analyzer shall be taken out of service.

Alternatively, all gas bottles entering a facility shall be verified using a master bench and NIST

traceable SRM, CRM, NTRM, or RGM gases. Quarterly checks would then be performed on

each analyzer using three points at 25%, 50%, and 75% of full scale.

(10) Interference Test. The CO analyzer shall be checked for water vapor interference prior to initial

service. The interference limits in this paragraph shall apply to analyzers used with a CVS of

700 SCFM or greater. For analyzers used with lower flow rate CVS units, the allowable

interference response shall be proportionately adjusted downward.

(i) CO Analyzer. A CO instrument will be considered to be essentially free of CO2 and

water vapor interference if its response to a mixture of 3% CO2 in N2 which has been

bubbled through water at 20°C produces an equivalent CO response, as measured on

the most sensitive CO range, which is less than 1% of full scale.

(e) Gases

(1) General Requirements. Gas blends may contain up to three of any of the following

components: HC, CO, CO2, and NO. The HC component shall be propane. The diluent for

blends containing HC shall be air. The diluent for blends containing NO shall be N2. CO and

CO2 may be used with either air or N2 as the diluent. Blends containing four interest

components may be used only if approved by the Administrator. Blends containing NO2 shall

also require approval by the Administrator prior to use, except if used to perform the NOx

converter check specified in §85.2234(d)(5). Any interference effects between components in a

gas blend shall be addressed in the quality control and quality assurance process. When a gas

audit of the analytical system is performed, the auditor shall indicate whether CO2 is present in

the audit gas mixture prior to performing the audit.

(2) Calibration Gases. Gases used to generate and check calibration curves shall be traceable to a

NIST SRM, CRM, NTRM, or RGM and have a stated uncertainty to within 1% of the standard

by gas comparison methods. Calibration zero gas shall be used when using a gas divider to

generate intermediary calibration gases.

(3) Span Gases. Gases used for up-scale span adjustment, cross-checks, and for mid-scale span

checks shall be traceable to NIST SRM, CRM, NTRM, or RGM and have a stated uncertainty

to within 2% of the standard by gas comparison methods. Span gas concentrations shall be

verified immediately after a monthly calibration curve check and before being put into service. 

If the reading on the span gases exceeds 2.5% of the label value, the system or gases shall be

taken out of service until corrective action is taken. When a gas divider is used to generate span

gases, the diluent gas shall not have impurities any greater than the working zero gas.

(4) Calibration Zero Gas. The impurities in the calibration zero gas shall not exceed 0.1 ppmC, 0.5

ppm CO, 1 ppm CO2, and 0.1 ppm NO. Calibration zero grade air shall be used for the FID

zero calibration gas. Calibration zero grade nitrogen or calibration zero grade air shall be used

for CO, CO2, and NOx zero calibration gases.

(5) Working Zero Gas. The impurities in working zero grade gases shall not exceed 1 ppmC, 2

ppm CO, 400 ppm CO2, and 0.3 ppm NOx. Working zero grade air or calibration zero grade

air shall be used for the FID zero span gas. Working or calibration zero grade nitrogen or air

shall be used for CO, CO2, and NOx zero span gases.
37

(6) FID Fuel. The fuel for the FID shall consist of a mixture of 40% (+2%) hydrogen, and the

balance helium. The FID oxidizer shall be zero grade air, which can consist of artificial air

containing 18 to 21 mole percent of oxygen.

(7) Gas Naming Protocol. Gases used for calibration or auditing shall be named according to a

written established practice that has been approved by the Administrator. An accepted gas

naming procedure for I/M test purposes is the IM240 Gas Certification Protocol dated 10/27/94,

or its latest revision. Copies of the 10/27/94 document are available upon request from EPA.

(f) Overall System Performance

(1) Emission Levels. For each test lane, the average, median, 10th percentile and 90th percentile of

the composite emissions (HC, CO, CO2, and NOx) measured shall be monitored on a monthly

basis. Differences in the monthly average of greater than ±10% by any one lane from the

facility-average or combined facility-average, or by any one facility from the combined facilityaverage shall require an investigation to determine whether the single lane or facility has a

systematic equipment or operating error or difference. Where it can be determined that the

averages from one facility (or facilities) are offset from the average of the other facilities based

on the mix of vehicles tested, the ±10% limit shall be compared to the expected offset. If

systematic equipment or operating errors or differences causing the offset are found, such errors

shall be corrected. The sample period may be adjusted to assure that a reasonably random

sample of vehicles was tested in each lane.

(2) Pass/Fail Status. The average number of passing vehicles and the average number of failing

vehicles shall be monitored monthly for each test lane. Differences in the monthly average of

greater than ±15% by any one lane from the facility-average or combined facility-average, or by

any one facility from the combined facility-average shall require an investigation to determine

whether the single lane or facility has a systematic equipment or operating error or difference. 

Where it can be determined that the averages from one facility (or facilities) are offset from the

average of the other facilities based on the mix of vehicles tested, the ±15% limit shall be

compared to the expected offset. If systematic equipment or operating errors or differences

causing the offset are found, such errors shall be corrected. The sample period may be adjusted

to assure that a reasonably random sample of vehicles was tested in each lane.

(g) Control Charts

(1) General Requirements. Control charts and Statistical Process Control theory shall be used to

determine, forecast, and maintain performance of each test lane, each facility, and all facilities

in a given network. The control charts shall cover the performance of key parameters in the test

system. When key parameters approach control chart limits, close monitoring of such systems

shall be initiated and corrective actions shall be taken when needed to prevent such systems

from exceeding control chart limits. If any key parameter exceeds the control chart limits,

corrective action shall be taken to bring the system into compliance. The control chart limits

specified are those values listed for the test procedures, the equipment specifications, and the

quality control specifications that cause a test to be voided or require equipment to be removed

from service. These values are "fit for use" limits, unlike a strict interpretation of SPC control

chart theory which may use tighter limits to define the process. The test facility is encouraged

to apply SPC strict control chart theory to determine when equipment or processes could be

improved. No action shall be required until the equipment or process exceeds the "fit for use

limits" specified in this section.

(2) Control Charts for Individual Test Lanes. In general, control charts for individual test lanes

shall include parameters that will allow the cause for abnormal performance of a test lane to be

pinpointed to individual systems or components. Test lane control charts shall include at a

minimum:
38

(i) Difference between theoretical and measured coast-down times

(ii) Difference between theoretical and measured CVS flow

(iii) Up-scale span change from last up-scale span (not required if software corrections are

tracked)

(iv) Mathematical or software correction to the calibration curve as a result of an up-scale

span change (if used)

(v) Difference between the analyzer response to the daily cross-check, and the test gas

concentration

(vi) The system response time

(vii) FID CH4 response ratio

(viii) Difference between theoretical or measured values for other parameters measured

during quality assurance procedures

(3) Control Charts for Individual Facilities. Control charts for individual facilities shall consist of

the test lane control charts for each test lane at the facility.

(4) Control Charts of Individual Inspectors. Control charts for individual inspectors shall include

parameters that will allow the cause for abnormal performance to be evaluated, such as

technician IM240 driving quality.

Guidance on the Use of Fast-Pass IM240 Standards
45

Guidance on the Use of Fast-Pass IM240 Standards

A fast-pass decision is made by measuring the vehicle's cumulative emissions of each pollutant in each second, and

comparing them to cumulative emission fast-pass standards for each pollutant for the second of the test under consideration. 

In general, if the vehicle's cumulative emissions are below a given level for all pollutants the vehicle passes. Testing

continues until decisions are made for each pollutant. Measurements of all constituents shall continue to be taken as long as

the test continues, including those constituents for which a decision has already been made.

These fast-pass standards are derived from an Arizona IM240 data set which included 3,718 tests. Fast-pass

standards for each second represent the tenth lowest cumulative emission levels in that second obtained for vehicles failing

the IM240 using the two-ways-to-pass criteria. Hence, vehicles that fall below this level are showing lower cumulative

emissions at that point in the test than the cleanest vehicles failing the full test and therefore pass. Fast-pass determinations

begin at second 30 of the IM240 cycle.

Beginning at second 109, fast pass decisions for HC and CO are based upon analysis of cumulative emissions in

phase 2, the portion of the test beginning at second 94, as well as emission levels accumulated from the beginning of the test

(the "composite" test). Fast-pass standards are derived for phase 2 of the test as described above. Since the phase 2

standards for NOx are the same as the composite, the phase 2 NOx fast-pass standards are also the same as the composite.

Scores

HCt = cumulative composite HC at time = t seconds

COt = cumulative composite CO at time = t seconds

NOxt = cumulative composite NOx at time = t seconds

HCbt = cumulative Phase 2 HC at time = t seconds

CObt = cumulative Phase 2 CO at time = t seconds

NOxbt = cumulative Phase 2 NOx at time = t seconds

Cumulative composite scores represent the cumulative grams of emissions from t = 0 seconds

Cumulative Phase 2 scores represent the cumulative grams of emissions from t = 109 seconds

Fast-Pass Standards

HCpt = composite HC fast-pass standard at time = t seconds

COpt = composite CO fast-pass standard at time = t seconds

NOxpt = composite NOx fast-pass standard for failing vehicles at time = t seconds

HCpbt = Phase 2 HC fast-pass standard at time = t seconds

COpbt = Phase 2 CO fast-pass standard at time = t seconds

NOxpbt = Phase 2 NOx fast-pass standard at time = t seconds

Fast-Pass Conditions

For t > 30 seconds, the vehicle shall pass if:

HCt < HCpt and COt < COpt, NOxt < NOxpt;

additionally, for t > 109 seconds, the vehicle shall pass if:

HCbt < HCpbt and CObt < COpbt and NOxbt < NOxpbt or

HCt < HCpt and CObt < COpbt and NOxbt < NOxpbt or

HCt < HCpt and COt < COpt and NOxbt < NOxpbt or

HCbt < HCpbt and COt < COpt and NOxbt <NOxpbt or

HCbt < HCpbt and COt < COpt and NOxt < NOxpt or

HCbt < HCpbt and CObt < COpbt and NOxt < NOxpt

Fast Pass IM240 Standards Developed for Wisconsin

Wisconsin requested EPA provide fast-pass cutpoints for final and intermediate standards. A method is outlined below. 

This was applied only to the Appendix. A fast-pass cutpoints but could be used on others also.

1) A scale factor for each pollutant at each second is defined. This was done to calculate the cutpoint at second i

for each pollutant at each standard.

For example: HC Scale Factor for the 0.8 cutpoint

FPHC Scale Factor = [HC(0.8)Fast Pass Cutpoint at t= i ] / [HC(0.8) Fast Pass Cutpoint 

at t=239]

2) The ratio of the Fast Pass cutpoint at t=239 to the distance traveled (1.973 mi) was found. This was done so the

new fast-pass cut points could be scaled to the new full 240 second standard

For HC (0.8g/mi):

FPHC 239 = 1.615 g

Distance = 1.973 mi

FPHC 239 g/mi = 0.81855

% above 0.8 g/mi standard = (0.818-0.8)/0.8*100 = 2.2%

For new HC standard (0.6 g/mi):

(FPHC 239 g/mi - 0.6)/0.6 * 100 = 2.2%

(This provides the same 2.2% overshoot as the phase-in fast-pass standards.)

FPHC 239 g/mi = 0.6132g/mi

FPHC 239 g = 1.2098

3) The new fast pass standards will then be calculated as:

HC(0.6)FP = FP(0.6)239 * HCSF(0.8)i

t HC(0.8) g FPHC SF HC(0.6) g

.....

238 1.614 0.9994 1.2091

239 1.615 1.0000 1.2098

4) For Phase 2 cut points, where needed:

Take the old standard, for example, FPHC Phase 2 = 0.5 g/mi

The distance traveled from second 108 to second 239 is 1.359 mi

The old FPHC 239 cutpoint is 0.716 g

In terms of g/mi this is 0.716/1.359 = 0.527 g/mi

The delta between this value and the actual standard is: (0.527-0.5) = 0.027 g/mi

The new FPHC 239 g/mi cutpoint is: 0.4 + 0.027 = 0.427 g/mi . In terms of g, this is FPHC 239

g/mi * 1.359 mi = 0.580 g

The Scale Factor is calculated as before for each second of the test, and the Phase 2 cutpoint at

each second is calculated by multiplying this Scale Factor times the new FP cutpoint in g at 239. 

In this case, that new FP cutpoint would be 0.580 * Scale Factor for each second.

Fast Pass IM240 Standards: Modal Regression Technique

Sierra Research

Contract 68-C4-0056 Work Assignment 2-04

Development of Fast-Pass Standards

This method differs from those presented in Appendices A, B, and C in that second-by-second standards are not used,

rather the second-by-second emissions are used to project a final IM240 score which is then compared to the appropriate IM240

standard as listed on pages 1-4 of this document. A sample of the regression coefficients used to project the full IM240 scores

are presented in this appendix. The complete set of coefficients, including an example calculation, can be downloaded from the

EPA web site.

Full-duration, second-by-second IM240 data collected in the Arizona I/M program were used for this analysis. Nearly

110,000 individual tests were in the database used in the analysis, which is comprised of all full-duration IM240 tests conducted

in Arizona from April 1995 through April 1997. Regression coefficients were generated separately for light-duty gasoline

vehicles (i.e., passenger cars) and light-duty trucks for the following model year groups listed below.

 1981 to 1984,

 1985 to 1989, and

 1990 and later.

Regression coefficients were developed for HC, CO, and NOx and for both the composite IM240 and for Phase 2 of

the IM240 after dividing the IM240 drive trace into 24 separate modes. The Phase 2 regressions used mode 11 as the first mode

and continued through mode 23. The composite IM240 regressions used modes 1 through 23. (Although the trace was divided

into 24 modes, if a fast-pass decision is not made by mode 23, then the vehicle would run the full IM240. At that point, a

pass/fail decision should be made on the actual IM240 score, not the predicted score.) Finally, it is recommended that the first

mode at which a pass/fail decision should be made is mode 4 (which ends at second 32 of the IM240) for a composite IM240

prediction, or mode 13 (which ends at second 113 of the IM240) for a Phase 2 prediction.

The regression coefficients for a 0.8 g/mi HC composite IM240 cutpoint are given in this appendix, along with the

coefficients for a 0.5 g/mi HC Phase 2 IM240 cutpoint. The full series of regression coefficients developed in this effort were

provided to EPA electronically, and are available on the OMS web page.

Using the 2% Random Sample from the Arizona program (which consists of 26,000 records), pass/fail rates were

calculated with the modal regression procedures outlined above as well as the current fast-pass cutpoint tables. This analysis

was performed using the final IM240 HC, CO, and NOx standards, and the results are presented in Table D1.

As observed in Table D1, the revised fast-pass methodology results in a lower fraction of false passes than the current

method, particularly for older cars. However, this improvement in failing vehicle identification is offset by a longer average test

time for passing vehicles in the older model year groups. For newer vehicles (i.e., 1990 and later), the revised methodology

results in significant improvements in average test time, without a significant increase in the fraction of false passes.

Calculation of Raw Emission Scores from Dilute Measurements

Calculation of Raw Emission Scores from Dilute Measurements

The constant volume sampling technique, which has been part of the FTP for the exhaust emissions testing of

passenger cars and light-duty trucks since the 1972 model year, involves the collection of a sample of exhaust gas after

it has been diluted to a known, constant volume. Using this procedure, a device called a "constant volume sampler"

dilutes the vehicle exhaust and then samples a constant volume fraction of the dilute mixture. In a typical test facility,

the dilution is achieved by drawing "background" air from the room where the vehicle is being driven on a chassis

dynamometer. A slipstream from the diluted exhaust is pumped into a series of sample bags during the test. Three

sample bags are used for dilute exhaust samples: the first represents the "cold start" phase of the test, the second

represents "stabilized" operation, and the third represents the "hot start" phase of the test. Samples of background air are

simultaneously collected in three additional bags. At the end of the test, measurement of the concentration of pollutants

in the sample bags and calculation of the total flow of the dilute mixture during each phase allows the mass of emissions

emitted during each phase of the test to be calculated. Division of the calculated mass by the associated driving distance

provides the mass emissions rate (normally expressed in grams per mile). 

A variation of the FTP test procedure is used in CVS-based I/M testing. Instead of filling sample bags with

dilute mixture during separate phases of the test, the concentrations of pollutants in the dilute exhaust stream are

continuously monitored. Mass emissions per mile of travel are calculated from integration of the continuous

measurements divided by the distance driven during the test. (This technique facilitates the use of "fast pass" and "fast

fail" algorithms for shortening the test in cases where a vehicle is extremely clean or extremely dirty during the early

portion of the test.)

In CVS-based testing, the volume of background (dilution) air in the sample substantially exceeds the volume

of exhaust gas, usually by a factor of ten or more. As a result, the extent to which the dilution air is contaminated with

pollutants can significantly affect the calculated mass emissions. To eliminate this interference, the extent to which the

vehicle exhaust has been diluted must be known. The FTP specifies that the ratio of total volume to exhaust volume

("dilution factor") be calculated using the following equation:

[1] D F 13.4

CO CO HC

EPA

2e e e

= + +

where: CO2e, COe, and HCe are the concentrations measured in the dilute sample expressed as percent volume.

In the above equation, the DF calculated in accordance with the FTP is specified as "DFEPA" to distinguish it

from an improved formulation of the DF discussed below. As noted above, DFEPA is used in the FTP to correct the

emissions concentration in the sample bag for pollutants in the dilution (background) air. Although not required by the

FTP, the average DF can also be used to calculate the average concentration of the undiluted tailpipe emissions emitted

while the sample bag was being filled. If there were no pollutants in the dilution air, the tailpipe concentrations could be

calculated simply by multiplying the dilute measurement by the DF:
86

[2] Ctp = Cconc * DF

where: Ctp is the actual raw tailpipe concentration, and Cconc is the concentration of a pollutant in the dilute sample

defined as:

[3] Cconc = Ce - Cd (1 - )

1

D F

where Ce is the pollutant dilute concentration and Cd is the pollutant background concentration.

 Substituting [3] into [2] yields:

[4] Ctp Ce Cd 1 1

D F =− − D F 



 



 



 





As noted above, the CVS technique used to measure emissions in I/M programs involves calculating mass

emissions by integrating the continuously monitored dilute sample. An average dilution factor can still be calculated

from the integrated average of the dilute emissions. The DF can also be calculated continuously and used to calculate

the undiluted tailpipe concentration at any point in time. This capability makes it possible to use the CVS emissions

measurement system to determine whether a vehicle meets emissions standards that are based on tailpipe concentrations. 

If, for example, a CO concentration of 0.1% is measured in the dilute exhaust stream, and if the calculated DF is 10,

then the tailpipe emission concentration would be calculated to be 1.0% CO (assuming background concentrations were

zero).

Although there are several advantages associated with the use of the reverse dilution calculation method, some

error is introduced in the calculation of the tailpipe concentration due to the discrepancies that can exist between actual

test conditions and the assumptions on which the standard DF calculation is based. As described in detail in a

previously referenced technical paper (SAE paper 980678), the DF equation contained in the FTP is based on three

assumptions:

1. Exhaust emissions of vehicles are the product of a chemically balanced (i.e., stoichiometric) ratio of air and

fuel;

2.The concentrations of pollutants in the background air have an insignificant effect on the calculation of the

DF; and

3. No water vapor has been removed from the sample.

Each of these assumptions is problematic when the reverse dilution technique is used to calculate the

concentration of pollutants in a vehicle tailpipe that would otherwise be measured directly in an I/M program. First,

although most vehicles run very close to a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, this is not always the case. Second, in the
3

So-called "BAR90" analyzers actually use a condensate removal system to dispose of the water that condenses

when raw exhaust is drawn through the sample probe; however, the efficiency of water removal depends on the

temperature of the exhaust sample because no temperature control is provided by the analyzer.

4

The DF equation in the previously referenced SAE paper is based on the simplifying assumption that there is no

residual oxygen in the exhaust of stoichiometric or richer air-fuel mixtures. This assumption holds unless there is

substantial misfire. In the case of misfire, the exhaust may contain oxygen that dilutes the concentration of other

constituents. Equation 4 is a refinement of the equation contained in the SAE paper that accounts for misfire.

5

Air injection can reduce mass emissions by facilitating more complete combustion in either the exhaust manifold or

the catalytic converter. However, the dilution associated with air injection causes the measured concentration to be

87

environment of an I/M test lane, pollution in the background air can be significant. Third, analyzers routinely used for

raw exhaust measurement remove a substantial amount of water from the sample.3

A more complicated expression of the DF is required to address the limitations of the DF equation contained in

the FTP. The recommended equation is as follows:4

( )()

( ) ( ) D F 100 K CO K CO K (HC )

K CO CO K CO CO K (HC HC )

where: K1, K2, and K3 are constants that depend on the fuel type (see below);

CO2d is the concentration of CO2 in the background air;

COd is the concentration of CO in the background air;

HCd is the concentration of HC in the background air;

CO2e is the concentration of CO2 in the dilute sample;

COe is the concentration of CO in the dilute sample; and 

HCe is the concentration of HC in the dilute sample.

All of the concentrations in the above equation are expressed in volume percent. The HC values are expressed

in hexane equivalent. The values of K1, K2, and K3 depend on the type of fuel and whether the calculated pollutant

concentrations are on a wet or dry basis. When attempting to match measurements that would be made by typical

systems for raw exhaust measurement, the values for dry exhaust should be used. For gasoline fuel with pollutant

concentrations measured on a wet basis, such as in IM240 set-ups, the value of K1 is 6.5431, the value for K2 is 4.6561,

and the value of K3 is 57.0945.

Dilution Correction of Tailpipe Measurements

As noted earlier, one of the problems associated with I/M standards based on maximum allowable tailpipe

concentrations is that certain causes of dilution (e.g., air injection,5

 exhaust leaks, or inadequate sample probe insertion
reduced by more than the true reduction in mass emissions.

6

With measurement systems that remove water, and for an engine running a stoichiometric, a 6% sum of CO and

CO2 represents each part exhaust being diluted with 1.5 parts air.

88

depth) may cause measured concentrations to be substantially lower than for another vehicle with identical mass

emissions. Because of this problem, EPA guidance for concentration measurement during simple I/M tests specifies

that the sum of CO plus CO2 emissions should be at least 6% in order for the test to be considered valid. Although the

basis for the recommendation is not documented, it appears to represent the maximum level of exhaust dilution that

might be expected with a relatively high output air injection system installed on a relatively small engine. As a result, it

allows the exhaust concentration to be reduced by more than 50% due to various sources of dilution.6

 It is therefore a

relatively ineffective means of preventing exhaust dilution from affecting the results of an I/M test.

Recently, the California Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) devised an improved procedure for eliminating

the effects of exhaust dilution. BAR’s procedure uses equations developed from basic combustion chemistry to

determine the extent to which an exhaust sample must have been diluted before a concentration measurement was made. 

The measured concentrations are adjusted to what they would be under stoichiometric conditions with no dilution air

from any source (including leaner than stoichiometric operation). BAR’s exhaust dilution correction essentially

involves the application of a dilution factor to the concentrations measured at the tailpipe. As described in Sierra’s SAE

paper, BAR’s method is more sophisticated than the DF calculation incorporated into the FTP because it accounts for

variations in air-fuel ratio. However, the BAR procedure ignores the effects of background air, which is not a factor

during tailpipe measurements. As the SAE paper illustrates, Sierra’s recommended DF equation incorporates the same

basic dilution correction used by BAR in combination with a correction for pollutants in the background air. When

correcting tailpipe concentrations for dilution, where no background air is involved, Sierra’s DF calculation and BAR’s

dilution adjustment produce the same result.

Recognizing the advantages of BAR’s new dilution correction procedure, EPA has incorporated it in Guidance

to states on Acceleration Simulation Mode (ASM) testing. Although BAR’s procedure is equally applicable to other

tests that rely on concentration measurement, it has not yet been incorporated into revised guidance for idle, 2500 rpm,

and other steady-state tests. However, when CVS testing is used in combination with Sierra’s recommended reverse

dilution calculation procedure, the effect is similar to using BAR’s dilution correction.

Modal Analysis of Second-by-Second Data Preconditioning Guidelines 

Developed by Sierra Research

Contract 68-C4-0056 Work Assignment 2-04

 Using the replicate IM240 data collected by Gordon-Darby, it was possible, through trial and error, to identify criteria

to determine whether a vehicle failing an initial IM240 is inadequately preconditioned and should be tested again. This

analysis was performed for each pollutant individually, and then for all pollutants combined. The analysis included 283

LDVs and 83 LDTs. The evaluation followed a step-wise progression in which the aim was to maximize the identification

of vehicles that could benefit from a second test, while minimizing testing of vehicles likely to fail a second test. 

Recommendations for passenger cars are summarized below. A similar set of conditions was also developed for light-duty

trucks, which are subject to different IM240 standards than passenger cars.

IM240 Retest Criteria for Passenger Cars

HC Failures - If PPmHC209-214 is less than 1,500, a retest is recommended if any of the following occur:

1. Phase 2 HC < 0. 8 g/mi; or

2. massHC175-199 < 0.2 g; or

3. (ppmHC75-80/ppmHC214) > 4.0

For vehicles failing only HC, the following additional constraints are required for a vehicle to be retested:

1. Mass HC175-199<0.3g and (ppmHC75-80/ppmHC209-214)>1.5;or

2. Mass HC175-199 < 0.3g and Phase 2 HC < 1.0 g/mi

CO Failures - For CO failures, the above criteria for HC are recommended. In addition, the following constraints are

recommended:

1. do not retest if Phase 2 CO > 20 g/mi and (Phase 1 CO/Phase 2 CO) <2; and

2. if the vehicle fails both HC and CO, retest if Mass HC175-199 <0.3 g and mass 

CO175-199 < 5.0 g.

If the vehicle is a CO-only failure, then a vehicle would benefit from a retest if:

1. Mass CO175-199 < 6.0 g; or

2. (ppmCO75-80/ppmCO209-214) > 4.0; or

3. Mass CO175.199 < 10 g and (Phase I CO > 0.75 x Phase 2 CO).

NOx Failures - For vehicles failing HC or CO and NOx, a retest is recommended if the following condition occurs:

1. Mass NOx175-199 = 1.0g
91

For NOx Only failures, retest is recommended if the following criteria are met:

1. Mass NOx175199<9; or 

2. Mass NOx175-199<1.l and(ppmNOx40-45/ppmNOx209-215)>1.5;or

3. IM240 NOx<2.2 and (ppmNOx40-45/ppmNOx209-215)> 1.0

Multiple Pollutants - For multiple pollutant failures, a retest is eliminated under the following conditions:

1. the vehicle fails for all pollutants; or

2. the vehicle fails HC and CO and (Phase 2 CO > 20 g/mi and mass CO175-199 >6.0 g); or

3. the vehicle fails HC and NOx and (ppmHC209-214 >1,200) or (ppmNOx209-214 > 1,200

 IM240 Retest Criteria for Light-Duty Trucks

 Because they are subject to different numerical IM240 emission standards, a different set of retest criteria were

developed for light-duty trucks. These criteria are similar to those established for passenger cars, with adjustments to

account for standards differences.

HC Failures - For 1981 to 1983 model year vehicles, if ppmHC209-214 < 2,000 and any of the following conditions

exist, then a retest is recommended:

1. Phase 2 HC < 3.0 g/mi; or

2. Mass HC175-199 < 0.8 g; or

3. (ppmHC75-80/ppmHC209-214)>4.0

In addition, if the full IM240 is less than 3.5 g/mi HC (regardless of the value of ppmHC209-214), then a retest is

recommended.

For 1984 and later model year vehicles, if ppmHC209-214<1,500 and any of the following conditions exist a retest

is recommended:

1. Phase 2 HC< 2.0 g/mi; or

2. MassHC175-199 < 0.4 g; or

3. (ppmHC75-80/ppmHC209-214)>4.0

In addition, if 0.4<Mass HC175-199<0.8 and (ppmHC75-80/ppmHC209-214)>2.0 (regardless of the value of

ppmHC209-214) then a retest is recommended.

 A retest is not recommended if Phase 2 HC > 3.2 g/mi.

CO Failures - For CO failures, the above criteria outlined for HC were also used. In addition, the following

conditions were also imposed to cut down on the number of vehicles incorrectly identified as needing a retest:
92

1. If 1981 to 1983 model year and Mass CO175-199>36g then do not retest.

2. If 1984 or later model year and Mass CO175-199>18g then do not retest.

3. If Phase 2 CO>40 and Phase 2 CO > Phase I CO then do not retest.

NOx Failures - If the vehicle failed NOx and either HC or CO, the above criteria were used to determine the need

for a retest. For LDT1&2s, if the vehicle failed only NOx. then a retest is recommended if Mass NOxl75-199 < 1.4

g. For 1988 and later LDT3&4s, a retest is recommended only if Mass NOx175-199 < 2.5 g.

Evaluation of Alternative Statistical Measures

Based upon similar work conducted by the New York Automotive Emissions Laboratory (AEL,)7 two easily

determined, alternative statistical metrics were evaluated for their ability to identify and quantify IM240 speed variations that

significantly affect emissions:

(1). DPWRSUM - the sum of absolute changes in specific power; and

(2). Positive Kinetic Energy (PKE) - the sum of positive differences in kinetic energy per unit distance.

Each of these metrics are explained in more detail below.

DPWRSUM - Specific power is defined as power per unit mass, which can be restated as follows:

Over a transient driving cycle of second-by-second speeds, EPA defines the specific power P at any time t (and dropping the

factor of 1⁄2) as:

The absolute difference in specific power at time t can then be written as:

The DPWRSUM statistic then is defined over a cycle of N seconds as:

PKE - Positive Kinetic Energy has been defined mathematically as:

over a traveled driving cycle of distance x where PP is the positive specific power and is given by the following expression

when Vt > Vt-1, and is zero when Vt  Vt-1.

Each of these metrics can be easily computed from the second-by-second speed measurements collected in IM240

testing. In comparing their relative ability to identify speed variations that produce high emissions, it is helpful to consider

which speed variations contribute to the value of each metric (similar to the earlier examination of the SE statistic) over an

IM240 test. 

Note that although both DPWRSUM and PKE are affected by differences in specific power or squared speeds over

"adjacent" seconds of an IM240 trace, the value of DPWRSUM is increased during decelerations as well as accelerations. 

PKE on the other hand, is only increased during acceleration periods.

Derivation of TRLHP Coefficients

(a) Road Load Equation

(1) Vehicle Loading. Road load is defined by the following equation relating track road load

horsepower and vehicle velocity.

TRLHP@ Obmph = (Av * Obmph) + (Bv * Obmph2) + ( Cv * Obmph3 )

Where: TRLHP = Track Road Load Horsepower.

Av, Bv, Cv = Coefficients relating TRLHP and velocity.

Obmph = Observed velocity in mph.

 (2) Coefficients. Av, Bv, and Cv are horsepower coefficients from EPA vehicle certification data

or EPA default values. Coefficients shall be calculated to a minimum of five significant digits

by the following equations. Power fractions determined from track coast-down data shall be

calculated to a minimum of two significant digits. In the absence of new car certification

coefficients, the default power fractions shall be used.

Where: Av, Bv, Cv = Coefficients relating TRLHP and velocity.

AvPF, BvPF, and CvPF are power fractions, and indicate the fraction of the

total power at 50 mph contributed by each of the Av*50, Bv*2500, and

Cv*125,000 terms.

TRLHP@50mph = Track Road Load Horsepower at 50mph.

(D) AvPF + BvPF + CvPF = 1

Derivation of Dynamometer Tire/Roll Interface Losses

(a) Generic Tire Roll Loss

(1) Tire/Roll Interface Losses. Tire/roll losses include vehicle drive train losses and may be

determined on a vehicle and dynamometer roll size specific basis, or using the default values

presented below.

Tire losses may be characterized on a vehicle and roll size specific basis by the following

equation:

GTRL@ Obmph = (At * Obmph) + (Bt * Obmph2) + ©t * Obmph3)

Where: GTRL = Generic tire/roll interface losses, in horsepower.

At, Bt, Ct are coefficients derived by fitting a third order curve of tire losses,

in horsepower, and velocity.
