The following amendments to Delegated Regulation (EU) No 44/2014 should be made in order to improve consistency and accuracy: Annex I to Delegated Regulation (EU) No 44/2014 contains a list of applicable UNECE regulations, which should be updated; Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 44/2014 should be supplemented with respect to marking requirements for parts, equipment and components for the purposes of identification and prevention of tampering; Annex III to that Delegated Regulation should be amended to provide clarifications on the requirements concerning the conversion of vehicles of subcategories L3e/L4e-A2 into A3 motorcycles and vice versa; certain amendments should be made in Annex XI to Delegated Regulation (EU) No 44/2014 on masses and dimensions, in particular relating to the ground clearance definition of subcategories L3e-AxE (Enduro motorcycle) and L3e-AxT (Trial motorcycle); Annex XII to Delegated Regulation (EU) No 44/2014 should be amended as regards the standardised on-board diagnostics connection interface; and certain clarifications should be made in Annex XVI to the same Delegated Regulation on stands for these motorcycle subcategories.

| (6) | On-board diagnostics (‘OBD’) is essential for effective and efficient repair and maintenance of vehicles. Accurate diagnostics allow the repairer to identify fast which smallest exchangeable unit has to be repaired or replaced. In order to address the rapid technical developments in the area of propulsion control systems it is appropriate to review the list of devices monitored for electric circuit malfunctions in 2017. By 31 December 2018, it should be established whether additional devices and malfunctions should be added to the list set out in Appendix 2 to Annex XII to Delegated Regulation (EU) No 44/2014 provide sufficient time to the Member States, vehicle manufacturers, their suppliers and the repair industry to adapt before the entry into force of OBD stage II. PID $1C on the applicable on-board diagnostic system may be programmed to $00 or $FF as long as its value has not been standardised for L-category vehicles. For the purposes of consistency and completeness, as the publication date of the revised standard ISO 15031-5:20xx containing such a standardised value dedicated to L-category vehicles, this standardised value should be programmed as response to the PID $1C request of a generic scan tool. |

| (7) | For the purposes of completeness and consistency, certain equations should be adapted in Annexes II and V to Delegated Regulation (EU) No 134/2014; in Annex VI to that Delegated Regulation regarding the durability of pollution control devices, the classification criteria of the SRC-LeCV distance accumulation cycle should be adapted to technical progress; finally, Annex IX to Delegated Regulation (EU) No 134/2014 should be amended to take into account some of the anti-tampering provisions set out in UNECE Regulations Nos 9, 41, 63 and 92 in the area of sound approval, in particular for multi-mode sound systems. |

| (8) | One of the measures against excessive hydrocarbon emissions from L-category vehicles is to limit the evaporative emissions to the hydrocarbon mass limits laid down in Annex VI(C) to Regulation (EU) No 168/2013. For this purpose, a type IV test has to be conducted at type-approval in order to measure the evaporative emissions of a vehicle. One of the requirements of the type IV Sealed House evaporative Emission Determination (SHED) test is to fit either a rapidly aged carbon canister or alternatively to apply an additive deterioration factor when fitting a degreened carbon canister. It will be investigated in the environmental effect study referred to in Article 23(4) of Regulation (EU) No 168/2013 whether or not it is cost beneficial to maintain this deterioration factor as alternative to fitting a representative and rapidly aged carbon canister. If the result of the study demonstrates that this method is not cost-beneficial a proposal will follow in due course to delete this alternative and should become applicable beyond the Euro 5 step. |

| (9) | A standardised method for measuring vehicles' energy efficiency (fuel or energy consumption, carbon dioxide emissions as well as electric range) is necessary to ensure that no technical barriers to trade arise between Member States and also to ensure that customers and users are supplied with objective and precise information. Until a harmonised test procedure is agreed upon for category L1e vehicles designed to pedal, referred to in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 168/2013 and in point 1.1.2 of Annex XIX to Delegated Regulation (EU) No 3/2014, those category L1e vehicles should be exempted from the electric range test. |

(1)  For instance: sport, economic, urban, extra-urban position, etc.

(2)  Most electric hybrid mode: the hybrid mode which can be proven to have the highest electricity consumption of all selectable hybrid modes when tested in accordance with condition A of point 4 of Annex 10 to UNECE Regulation No 101, to be established based on information provided by the manufacturer and in agreement with the technical service.

(3)  Most fuel-consuming mode: the hybrid mode which can be proven to have the highest fuel consumption of all selectable hybrid modes when tested in accordance with condition B of point 4 of Annex 10 to UNECE regulation No 101, to be established based on information provided by the manufacturer and in agreement with the technical service.’

(4)  If it is difficult to use the standard exhaust system, an exhaust system causing an equivalent pressure drop may be fitted for the test with the agreement of the manufacturer. In the test laboratory when the engine is in operation, the exhaust gas extraction system shall not cause in the extraction flue at the point where it is connected to the vehicle's exhaust system a pressure differing from atmospheric pressure by ± 740 Pa (7,40 mbar), unless, before the test, the manufacturer accepts a higher back pressure.

(5)  The air inlet flap shall be that which controls the pneumatic inject pump regulator.

(6)  Where a fan or blower may be disengaged, the net engine power shall first of all be stated with the fan (or blower) disengaged, followed by the net engine power with the fan (or blower) engaged. Where a fixed electrically or mechanically-operated fan cannot be fitted on the test bench, the power absorbed by that fan shall be determined at the same rotational speeds as those used when the engine power is measured. That power is deducted from the corrected power in order to obtain the net power.

(7)  The thermostat may be locked in the fully open position.

(8)  The radiator, fan, fan nozzle, water pump and thermostat shall, on the test bench, occupy as far as possible the same position relative to each other as if they were on the vehicle. If the radiator, fan, fan nozzle, water pump or thermostat have a position on the test bench which is different from that on the vehicle, this shall be described and noted in the test report. The liquid coolant shall be circulated solely by the water pump for the engine. It may be cooled either by the engine radiator or by an outside circuit, provided that the pressure drops within that circuit remain substantially the same as those in the engine cooling system. If fitted, the engine blind shall be open.

(9)  Minimum generator output: the generator supplies the current that is strictly needed to supply the accessories that are essential to the operation of the engine. The battery shall not receive any charge during the test.

(10)  Anti-pollution provisions may include, for example, exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR) system, catalytic converter, thermal reactor, secondary air-supply system and fuel-evaporation protecting system.’

(1)  If the target vehicle speed cannot be reached, the measurement shall be performed at the maximum vehicle speed reached.

(2)  Select gear closest to required rpm rate for the point of operation.

(11)  The same family criteria also apply to functional on-board diagnostics set out in Annex XII of Regulation (EU) No 44/2014.

(12)  maximum 30 % acceptable for test type VIII

(13)  Only for vehicles equipped with storage for gaseous fuel’
