(70/220/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (
1);
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social
Committee (2);
Whereas a regulation of 14 October 1968 amending the
Straßenverkehrs-Zulassungs-Ordnung was published in Germany in
theBundesgesetzblatt Part I of 18 October 1968; whereas that regula-
tion contains provisions on measures to be taken against air pollutionby positive-ignition engines of motor vehicles; whereas those provi-sions will enter into force on 1 October 1970;
Whereas a regulation of 31 March 1969 on the ‘Composition of
exhaust gases emitted from petrol engines of motor vehicles’ waspublished in France in the Journal officiel of 17 May 1969; whereas
that regulation is applicable:
— from 1 September 1971, to type-approved vehicles with a new type
of engine, that is to say, a type of engine which has never beforebeen installed in a type-approved vehicle;
— from 1 September 1972, to vehicles put into service for the first
time;
Whereas those provisions are liable to hinder the establishment and
proper functioning of the common market; whereas it is therefore
necessary that all Member States adopt the same requirements, eitherin addition to or in place of their existing rules, in order, in particular,to allow the EEC type — approval procedure which was the subject ofthe Council Directive (
3) of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of
the laws of the Member States relating to the type approval of motor
vehicles and their trailers to be applied in respect of each type of
vehicle;
Whereas, however, the present Directive will be applied before the date
laid down for the application of the Directive of 6 February 1970;whereas at that time therefore the procedures of this last Directivewill not yet be applicable; whereas therefore an ad hocprocedure
must be laid down in the form of a communication certifying that avehicle type has been tested and that it satisfies the requirements of
this Directive;
Whereas, on the basis of that communication, each Member State
requested to grant national type approval of a type of vehicle must be
able to ascertain whether that type has been submitted to the tests laiddown in this Directive; whereas, to this end, each Member State shouldinform the other Member States of its findings by sending them a copyof the communication completed for each type of motor vehicle whichhas been tested;1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 3

Whereas a longer period of adaptation should be laid down for industry
in respect of the requirements relating to the testing of the averageemission of gaseous pollutants in a congested urban area after a cold
start than in respect of the other technical requirements of this Direc-
tive;
Whereas it is desirable to use the technical requirements adopted by the
UN Economic Commission for Europe in its Regulation No 15 (
1)
(Uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicles equipped
witha positive-ignition engine withregard to th e emission of gaseouspollutants by the engine), annexed to the Agreement of 20 March 1958concerning the adoption of uniform conditions of approval and reci-procal recognition of approval for motor vehicle equipment and parts;
Whereas, furthermore, the technical requirements must be rapidly
adapted to take account of technical progress; whereas, to this end,provision should be made for application of the procedure laid downin Article 13 of the Council Directive of 6 February 1970 on the typeapproval of motor vehicles and their trailers;

5. REQUIREMENTS AND TESTS
Note:
As an alternative to the requirements of this section, vehicle
manufacturers whose world-wide annual production is less than
10000 units may obtain EC type-approval on the basis of the
corresponding technical requirements in:
— the California Code of Regulations, Title 13, Sections 1960.1
(f) (2) or (g) (1) and (g) (2), 1960.1 (p) applicable to 1996
and later model year vehicles, 1968.1, 1976 and 1975, applic-
able to 1995 and later model year light-duty vehicles,
published by Barclay's Publishing.
The type-approval authority must inform the Commission of the
circumstances of eachapproval granted under th is provision.
5.1. General
5.1.1. The components liable to effect tailpipe and evaporative emis-
sions must be so designed, constructed and assembled as to
enable the vehicle, in normal use, to comply with the require-
ments of this Directive, despite the vibration to which they may
be subjected.
The technical measures taken by the manufacturer must be such
as to unsure that the tailpipe and evaporative emissions are effec-
tively limited, pursuant to this Directive, throughout the normal
life of the vehicle and under normal conditions of use. This will
include the security of those hoses and their joints and connec-
tions, used within the emission control systems, which must be
so constructed as to conform withth e original design intent.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 10
▼M19
▼M15
▼M9
▼M15
▼M12
▼M9
▼M15
▼M9
▼M15
▼M15
For tailpipe emissions, these provisions are deemed to be met if
the provisions of sections 5.3.1.4 (type-approval) and section 7
(conformity of production and in-service vehicles) respectively
are complied with.
For evaporative emissions, these provisions are deemed to be met
if the provisions of section 5.3.4 (type-approval) and section 7
(conformity of production) are complied with.
The use of a defeat device is prohibited.
5.1.2. Inlet orifices of petrol tanks:5.1.2.1. Subject to 5.1.2.2, the inlet orifice of the fuel tank must be so
designed that it prevents the tank from being filled from a petrol
pump delivery nozzle which has an external diameter of 23,6 mm
or greater.
5.1.2.2. Section 5.1.2.1 does not apply to a vehicle in respect of which
both of the following conditions are satisfied, that is to say:
5.1.2.2.1. that the vehicle is so designed and constructed that no device
designed to control the emission of gaseous pollutants is
adversely affected by leaded petrol, and
5.1.2.2.2. that the vehicle is conspicuously, legibly and indelibly marked
withth e symbol for unleaded petrol specified in ISO 2575-1982
in a position immediately visible to a person filling the fuel tank.
Additional markings are permitted.
5.1.3. Provision must be made to prevent excess evaporative emissions
and fuel spillage caused by a missing fuel filler cap. This may be
achieved by using one of the following:
— an automatically opening and closing, non-removable fuel
filler cap,
— design features which avoid excess evaporative emissions in
the case of a missing fuel filler cap,
— any other provision which has the same effect. Examples may
include, but are not limited to, a tethered filler cap, a chained
filler cap ore one utilizing the same locking key for the filler
cap as for the vehicle's ignition. In this case the key must be
removable from the filler cap only in the locked condition.
5.1.4. Provisions for electronic system security
5.1.4.1. Any vehicle with an emission control computer must include
features to deter modification, except as authorised by the manu-facturer. The manufacturer shall authorise modifications if these
modifications are necessary for the diagnosis, servicing, inspec-
tion, retrofitting or repair of the vehicle. Any reprogrammable
computer codes or operating parameters must be resistant to
tampering and afford a level of protection at least as good as the
provisions in ISO DIS 15031-7; dated October 1998 (SAE J2186
dated October 1996) provided that the security exchange is
conducted using the protocols and diagnostic connector as
prescribed in Section 6.5 of Annex XI, Appendix 1. Any remo-
vable calibration memory chips must be potted, encased in a
sealed container or protected by electronic algorithms and must
not be changeable without the use of specialised tools and proce-
dures.
5.1.4.2. Computer-coded engine operating parameters must not be
changeable without the use of specialized tools and procedures
(e. g. soldered or potted computer components or sealed (or
soldered) computer enclosures).
5.1.4.3. In the case of mechanical fuel-injection pumps fitted to compres-
sion-ignition engines, manufacturers must take adequate steps to
protect the maximum fuel delivery setting from tampering while
a vehicle is in service.
5.1.4.4. Manufacturers may apply to the approval authority for an exemp-
tion to one of these requirements for those vehicles which are
unlikely to require protection. The criteria that the approval
authority will evaluate in considering an exemption will include,
but are not limited to, the current availability of performance1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 11

chips, the high-performance capability of the vehicle and the
projected sales volume of the vehicle.
5.1.4.5. Manufacturers using programmable computer code systems (e.g.
electrical erasable programmable read-only memory, EEPROM)
must deter unauthorised reprogramming. Manufacturers must
include enhanced tamper-protection strategies and write protect
features requiring electronic access to an off site computer main-
tained by the manufacturer. Methods giving an adequate level of
tamper protection will be approved by the authority.

7. CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION
7.1. Measures to ensure the conformity of production must be taken in
accordance withth e provisions of Article 10 of Directive 70/156/
EEC, as last amended by Directive 96/27/EEC (whole vehicle
type-approval). That Article entrusts the manufacturer with the
responsibility for taking measures to ensure the conformity of
production to the type approved. Conformity of production is
checked on the basis of the description in the type-approval certi-
ficate set out in Annex X to this Directive.
As a general rule, conformity of production withregard to limita-
tion of tailpipe and evaporative emissions from the vehicle is
checked on the basis of the description in the type-approval certi-
ficate set out in Annex X and, where necessary, of all or some of
the tests of types I, II, III and IV described in section 5.2.
Conformity of in-service vehicles
Withreference to type-approvals granted for emissions, th ese
measures must also be appropriate for confirming the function-
ality of the emission control devices during the normal useful
life of the vehicles under normal conditions of use (conformity
of in-service vehicles properly maintained and used). For the
purpose of this Directive these measures must be checked for a
period of up to 5 years of age or 80000 km, whichever is the
sooner, and from 1 January 2005, for a period of up to five years
of age or 100 000 km, whichever is the sooner.
7.1.1. Audit of in-service conformity by the type-approval authority is
conducted on the basis of any relevant information that the manu-
facturer has, under procedures similar to those defined in
Article 10(1) and (2) of Directive 70/156/EEC and in points 1
and 2 of Annex X to that Directive.
Figures I.8 and I.9 in Appendix 4 to this Annex illustrate the
procedure for in-service conformity checking.
7.1.1.1. Parameters defining the in-service family
The in-service family may be defined by basic design parameters
which must be common to vehicles within the family. Accord-
ingly, those vehicle types which have in common, or within the1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 25

considered as belonging to the same in-service family:
— combustion process (2-stroke, 4-stroke, rotary),
— number of cylinders,— configuration of the cylinder block (in-line, V, radial, horizon-
tally opposed, other). The inclination or orientation of the
cylinders is not a criteria),
— method of engine fuelling (e.g. indirect or direct injection),
— type of cooling system (air, water, oil),— method of aspiration (naturally aspirated, pressure charged),
— fuel for which the engine is designed (petrol, diesel, NG,
LPG, etc). Bi-fuelled vehicles may be grouped with dedicated
fuel vehicles providing one of the fuels is common,
— type of catalytic converter (three-way catalyst or other(s)),— type of particulate trap (withor with out),
— exhaust gas recirculation (with or without),
— engine cylinder capacity of the largest engine within the
family minus 30 %.

and in a way representative of the manufacturer's geographic
penetration.
For the purpose of this Directive, the manufacturer shall not be
obliged to carry out an audit of in-service conformity for a
vehicle type if he can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the
type-approval authority that the annual sales of that vehicle type
are less than 5 000 per annum in the Community.

M157.1.3.◄If a type I test is to be carried out and a vehicle type-
approval has one or several extensions, the tests will be carried
out either on the vehicle described in the initial information
package or on the vehicle described in the information package
relating to the relevant extension.

After selection by the authority, the manufacturer must not under-
take any adjustment to the vehicles selected.
►M157.1.3.1.1. ◄Three vehicles are selected at random in the series and
are tested as described in Section 5.3.1 of this Annex. The dete-
rioration factors are used in the same way. The limit values are
given in Section 5.3.1.4 of this Annex.
►M157.1.3.1.2. ◄If the authority is satisfied with the production standard
deviation given by the manufacturer in accordance with Annex
X to Directive 70/156/EEC, the tests are carried out according to
Appendix 1 of this Annex.
If the authority is not satisfied with the production standard
deviation given by the manufacturer in accordance with Annex
X to Directive 70/156/EEC, the tests are carried out according to
Appendix 2 of this Annex.
►M157.1.3.1.3. ◄The production of a series is deemed to conform or not to
conform on the basis of a sampling test of the vehicles once a
pass decision is reached for all the pollutants or a fail decision
is reached for one pollutant, according to the test criteria applied
in the appropriate appendix.
When a pass decision has been reached for one pollutant, that
decision will not be changed by any additional tests carried out
to reach a decision for the other pollutants.
If no pass decision is reached for all the pollutants and no fail
decision is reached for one pollutant, a test is carried out on
another vehicle (see Figure I/7).
►M157.1.3.2.◄Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 3.1.1 of
Annex III, the tests will be carried out on vehicles coming

This may be less than 1,
— the other vehicles will not be run in, but their zero km emis-
sions will be multiplied by the evolution coefficient.
In this case, the values to be taken will be:
— the values at ‘x’ km for the first vehicle,
— the values at zero km multiplied by the evolution coeffi-
cient for the other vehicles.

carried out, it must be conducted in accordance withth e
following:
7.1.6.1. When the approval authority determines that the quality of
production seems unsatisfactory a vehicle is randomly taken
from the series and subjected to the tests described in Annex XI,
Appendix 1.
7.1.6.2. The production is deemed to conform if this vehicle meets the
requirements of the tests described in Annex XI, Appendix 1.
7.1.6.3. If the vehicle taken from the series does not satisfy the require-
ments of section 7.1.6.1 a further random sample of four
vehicles must be taken from the series and subjected to the tests
described in Annex XI, Appendix 1. The tests may be carried out
on vehicles which have been run in for no more than 15000 km.
7.1.6.4. The production is deemed to conform if at least 3 vehicles meet
the requirements of the tests described in Annex XI, Appendix 1.
7.1.7. On the basis of the audit referred to in section 7.1.1, the type-
approval authority must either:
— decide that the in-service conformity of a vehicle type or a
vehicle in-service family is satisfactory and not take any
further action,
— decide that the data provided by the manufacturer is insuffi-
cient to reacha decision and request additional information
or test data from the manufacturer, or
— decide that the in-service conformity of a vehicle type, or
vehicle type(s) that is/are part of an in-service family, is unsa-
tisfactory and proceed to have such vehicle type(s) tested in
accordance withAppendix 3 to th is Annex.
In the case that the manufacturer has been permitted to not carry
out an audit for a particular vehicle type in accordance with
section 7.1.2, the type-approval authority may proceed to have
such vehicle types tested in accordance with Appendix 3 to this
Annex.
7.1.7.1. Where type I tests are considered necessary to check the confor-

performance while in service, such tests must be carried out using
a test procedure meeting the statistical criteria defined in
Appendix 4 to this Annex.
7.1.7.2. The type-approval authority, in cooperation with the manufac-
turer, must select a sample of vehicles with sufficient mileage
whose use under normal conditions can be reasonably assured.
The manufacturer must be consulted on the choice of the vehicles
in the sample and be allowed to attend the confirmatory checks of
the vehicles.
7.1.7.3. The manufacturer is authorized, under the supervision of the
type-approval authority, to carry out checks, even of a destructive
nature, on those vehicles with emission levels in excess of the
limit values witha view to establish ing possible causes of dete-
rioration which cannot be attributed to the manufacturer himself
(e. g. use of leaded petrol before the test date). Where the results
of the checks confirm such causes, those test results are excluded
from the conformity check.
7.1.7.4. Where the type-approval authority is not satisfied with the results
of the tests in accordance with the criteria defined in Appendix 4,
the remedial measures referred to in Article 11 (2) and in Annex
X to Directive 70/156/EEC are extended to vehicles in service
belonging to the same vehicle type which are likely to be affected
withth e same defects in accordance withsection 6 of Appendix
3.
The plan of remedial measures presented by the manufacturer
must be approved by the type-approval authority. The manufac-
turer is responsible for the execution of the remedial plan as
approved.
The type-approval authority must notify its decision to all
Member States within 30 days. The Member States may require
the same plan of remedial measures be applied to all vehicles of
the same type registered in their territory.
7.1.7.5. If a Member State has established that a vehicle type does not
conform to the applicable requirements of Appendix 3 to this
Annex, it must notify without delay the Member State which
granted the original type-approval in accordance with the require-
ments of Article 11 (3) of Directive 70/156/EEC.
Then, subject to the provision of Article 11(6) of Directive 70/
156/EEC, the competent authority of the Member State which
granted the original type-approval shall inform the manufacturer
that a vehicle type fails to satisfy the requirements of these provi-
sions and that certain measures are expected of the manufacturer.
The manufacturer shall submit to the authority, within two
months after this notification, a plan of measures to overcome
the defects, the substance of which should correspond to the
requirements of sections 6.1 to 6.8 of Appendix 3. The competent
authority which granted the original type-approval shall, within
two months, consult the manufacturer in order to secure agree-
ment on a plan of measures and on carrying out the plan. If the
competent authority which granted the original type-approval
establishes that no agreement can be reached, the procedure
pursuant to Article 11(3) and (4) of Directive 70/156/EEC shall
be initiated.

Appendix 1
1. This Appendix describes the procedure to be used to verify the production
conformity for the type I test when the manufacturer's production standard
deviation is satisfactory.
2. With a minimum sample size of 3, the sampling procedure is set so that the
probability of a lot passing a test with40 % of th e production defective is
0,95 (producer's risk = 5 %) while the probability of a lot being accepted
with65 % of th e production defective is 0,1 (consumer's risk = 10 %).
3. For each of the pollutants given in Section 5.3.1.4 of Annex I, the following
procedure is used (see Figure I.7).
Taking:
L = the natural logarithm of the limit value for the pollutant,
xi= the natural logarithm of the measurement for the i-th vehicle of the
sample,
s = an estimate of the production standard deviation (after taking the
natural logarithm of the measurements),
n = the current sample number.
4. Compute for the sample the test statistic quantifying the sum of the standard
deviations from the limit and defined as:

5. Then:
— if the test statistic is greater than the pass decision number for the sample
size given in Table (I.1.5), the pollutant is passed,
— if the test statistic is less than the fail decision number for the sample size
given in Table (I.1.5), the pollutant is failed; otherwise, an additional
vehicle is tested according to Section 7.1.1.1 of Annex I and the calcula-
tion reapplied to the sample with a sample size one unit greater.

Appendix 2
1. This Appendix describes the procedure to be used to verify the production
conformity requirements for the type I test when the manufacturer's evidence
of production standard deviation is either unsatisfactory or unavailable.
2. With a minimum sample size of 3, the sampling procedure is set so that the
probability of a lot passing a test with40 % of th e production defective is
0,95 (producer's risk = 5 %) while the probability of a lot being accepted
with65 % of th e production defective is 0,1 (consumer's risk = 10 %).
3. The measurements of the pollutants given in Section 5.3.1.4 of Annex I are
considered to be log normally distributed and must first be transformed by
taking their natural logarithms. Let m0and m denote the minimum and
maximum sample sizes respectively (m0= 3 and m = 32) and let n denote
the current sample number.
4. If the natural logarithms of the measurements in the series are x1,x2,… ,xjand L is the natural logarithm of the limit value for the pollutant, then define:
dj=xj−L

5. Table I.2.5 shows values of the pass (An) and fail (Bn) decision numbers
against current sample number. The test statistic is the ratio dn/vnand must
be used to determine whether the series has passed or failed as follows:
For m0≤n≤m:
— pass the series if dn/vn≤An,
— fail the series if dn/vn≥Bn,
— take another measurement if An<dn/vn<Bn.

Appendix 3
IN-SERVICECONFORMITYCHECK
1. INTRODUCTION
This Appendix sets out the criteria referred to in section 7.1.7 of this
Annex regarding the selection of vehicles for testing and the procedures
for the in-service conformity control.
2. SELECTION CRITERIA
The criteria for acceptance of a selected vehicle are defined in sections
2.1 to 2.8 of this Appendix. Information is collected by vehicle exami-
nation and an interview withth e owner/driver.
2.1. The vehicle must belong to a vehicle type that is type-approved under
this Directive and covered by a certificate of conformity in accordance
withDirective 70/156/EEC. It must be registered and used in th e
European Community.
2.2. The vehicle must have been in service for at least 15000 km or 6
months, whichever is the later, and for no more than 80000 km or 5
years, whichever is the sooner.
2.3. There must be a maintenance record to show that the vehicle has been
properly maintained, e. g. has been serviced in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations.
2.4. The vehicle must exhibit no indications of abuse (e. g. racing, over-
loading, misfuelling, or other misuse), or other factors (e. g. tampering)
that could affect emission performance. In the case of vehicles fitted
withan OBD system, th e fault code and mileage information stored in
the computer are taken into account. A vehicle must not be selected for
testing if the information stored in the computer shows that the vehiclehas operated after a fault code was stored and a relatively prompt repair
was not carried out.
2.5. There must have been no unauthorized major repair to the engine or
major repair of the vehicle.
2.6. The lead content and sulphur content of a fuel sample from the vehicle
tank must meet the applicable standards laid down in Directive 98/70/
EC (
1) and there must be no evidence of mis-fuelling. Checks may be
done in the tailpipe etc.
2.7. There must be no indication of any problem that might jeopardize the
safety of laboratory personnel.
2.8. All anti-pollution system components on the vehicle must be in confor-
mity withth e applicable type-approval.
3. DIAGNOSIS AND MAINTENANCE
Diagnosis and any normal maintenance necessary must be performed on
vehicles accepted for testing, prior to measuring exhaust emissions, in
accordance withth e procedure laid down in section 3.1 to 3.7.
3.1. The following checks must be carried out: checks on air filter, all drive
belts, all fluid levels, radiator cap, all vacuum hoses and electrical
wiring related to the antipollution system for integrity; checks on igni-
tion, fuel metering and anti-pollution device components for
maladjustments and/or tampering. All discrepancies must be recorded.
3.2. The OBD system shall be checked for proper functioning. Any malfunc-
tion indications in the OBD memory must be recorded and the requisite
repairs must be carried out. If the OBD malfunction indicator registers a
malfunction during a preconditioning cycle, the fault may be identified
and repaired. The test may be re-run and the results of that repaired
vehicle used.
3.3. The ignition system must be checked and defective components
replaced, for example spark plugs, cables, etc.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 36
(1) OJ L 350, 28.12.1998, p. 58.▼M19
▼M15
▼M15
3.4. The compression must be checked. If the result is unsatisfactory the
vehicle is rejected.
3.5. The engine parameters must be checked to the manufacturer's specifica-
tions and adjusted if necessary.
3.6. If the vehicle is within 800 km of a scheduled maintenance service, that
service must be performed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Regardless of odometer reading, the oil and air filter may be changed at
the request of the manufacturer.
3.7. Upon acceptance of the vehicle, the fuel must be replaced with appro-
priate emission test reference fuel, unless the manufacturer accepts the
use of market fuel.
4. IN-SERVICE TESTING
4.1. When a check on vehicles is deemed necessary, emission tests in accor-
dance withAnnex III to th is Directive are performed on pre-conditioned
vehicles selected in accordance with the requirements of sections 2 and
3 of this Appendix.
4.2. Vehicles equipped with an OBD system may be checked for proper in-
service functionality of the malfunction indication, etc., in relation to
levels of emissions (e. g. the malfunction indication limits defined in
Annex XI to this Directive) for the type-approved specifications.
4.3. The OBD system may be checked, for example, for levels of emissions
above the applicable limit values with no malfunction indication,
systematic erroneous activation of the malfunction indication and identi-
fied faulty or deteriorated components in the OBD system.
4.4. If a component or system operates in a manner not covered by the parti-
culars in the type-approval certificate and/or information package for
such vehicle types and such deviation has not been authorized under
Article 5 (3) or (4) of Directive 70/156/EEC, withno malfunction indi-
cation by the OBD, the component or system must not be replaced prior
to emission testing, unless it is determined that the component or system
has been tampered with or abused in such a manner that the OBD does
not detect the resulting malfunction.
5. EVALUATION OF RESULTS
5.1. The test results are submitted to the evaluation procedure in accordance
withAppendix 4 to th is Annex.
5.2. Test results must not be multiplied by deterioration factors.
6. PLAN OF REMEDIAL MEASURES
6.1. When more than one vehicle is found to be an outlying emitter that
either,
— meets the conditions of section 3.2.3 of Appendix 4 and where both
the type-approval authority and the manufacturer agree that the
excess emission is due to the same cause, or
— meets the conditions of section 3.2.4 of Appendix 4 where the type-
approval authority has determined that the excess emission is due to
the same cause,
the type-approval authority must request the manufacturer to submit a
plan of remedial measures to remedy the non-compliance.
6.2. The plan of remedial measures must be filed with the type-approval
authority not later than 60 working days from the date of the notification
referred to in section 6.1. The type-approval authority must within 30
working days declare its approval or disapproval of the plan of remedial
measures. However, where the manufacturer can demonstrate, to the
satisfaction of the competent type-approval authority, that further time
is required to investigate the non-compliance in order to submit a plan
of remedial measures, an extension is granted.
6.3. The remedial measures must apply to all vehicles likely to be affected
by the same defect. The need to amend the type-approval documents
must be assessed.
6.4. The manufacturer must provide a copy of all communications related to
the plan of remedial measures, and must also maintain a record of the1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 37
▼M19

studies which support the manufacturer's decision as to the particular
measures to be taken to correct the non-conformity.
6.5.3. A description of the method by which the manufacturer informs the
vehicle owners.
6.5.4. A description of the proper maintenance or use, if any, which the manu-
facturer stipulates as a condition of eligibility for repair under the plan
of remedial measures, and an explanation of the manufacturer's reasons
for imposing any suchcondition. No maintenance or use conditions may
be imposed unless it is demonstrably related to the non-conformity and
the remedial measures.
6.5.5. A description of the procedure to be followed by vehicle owners to
obtain correction of the non-conformity. This must include a date after
which the remedial measures may be taken, the estimated time for the
workshop to perform the repairs and where they can be done. The repair
must be done expediently, within a reasonable time after delivery of the
vehicle.
6.5.6. A copy of the information transmitted to the vehicle owner.6.5.7. A brief description of the system which the manufacturer uses to assure
an adequate supply of component or systems for fulfilling the remedial
action. It must be indicated when there will be an adequate supply of
components or systems to initiate the campaign.
6.5.8. A copy of all instructions to be sent to those persons who are to perform
the repair.

Appendix 4 (1)
STATISTICAL PROCEDURE FOR IN-SERVICE CONFORMITY
TESTING
1. This Appendix describes the procedure to be used to verify the in-
service conformity requirements for the type I test.
2. Two different procedures are to be followed:
1. One dealing with vehicles identified in the sample, due to an emis-
sion-related defect, causing outliers in the results (section 3).
2. The other dealing with the total sample (section 4).
3. PROCEDURE TO BE FOLLOWED WITH OUTLYING EMITTERS
IN THE SAMPLE(2)
3.1. Witha minimum sample size of th ree and a maximum sample size as
determined by the procedure of paragraph 4, a vehicle is taken at
random from the sample and the emissions of the regulated pollutants
are measured to determine if it is an outlying emitter.
3.2. A vehicle is said to be an outlying emitter when the conditions given
in either section 3.2.1 or section 3.2.2 are met.
3.2.1. In the case of a vehicle that has been type-approved according to the
limit values given in row A of the table in section 5.3.1.4 of Annex I,
an outlying emitter is a vehicle where the applicable limit value for
any regulated pollutant is exceeded by a factor of 1,2.
3.2.2. In the case of a vehicle that has been type-approved according to the
limit values given in row B of the table in section 5.3.1.4 of Annex I,
an outlying emitter is a vehicle where the applicable limit value for
any regulated pollutant is exceeded by a factor of 1,5.
3.2.3. In the specific case of a vehicle with a measured emission for any
regulated pollutant within the ‘intermediate zone’ (3).
3.2.3.1. If the vehicle meets the conditions of this section, the cause of the
excess emission must be determined and another vehicle is then taken
at random from the sample.
3.2.3.2. Where more than one vehicle meets the condition of this section, the
type-approval authority and the manufacturer must determine if the
excess emission from both vehicles is due to the same cause or not.
3.2.3.2.1. If the type-approval authority and the manufacturer both agree that
the excess emission is due to the same cause, the sample is regarded
as having failed and the plan of remedial measures outlined in
section 6 of Appendix 3 applies.
3.2.3.2.2. If the type-approval authority and the manufacturer can not agree on
either the cause of the excess emission from an individual vehicle or
whether the causes for more than one vehicle are the same, another
vehicle is taken at random from the sample, unless the maximum
sample size has already been reached.
3.2.3.3. When only one vehicle meeting the conditions of this section has
been found, or when more than one vehicle has been found and the
type-approval authority and the manufacturer agree it is due to1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 39
(1) The provisions laid down in Appendix 4 must be re-examined and completed without
delay in accordance withth e procedure laid down in Article 13 of Directive 70/156/
EEC.
(2) On the basis of actual in-service data to be supplied before 31 December 2003 by the
Member States, the requirements of this section may be reviewed and consider(a) whether the definition of outlying emitter needs to be revised with respect to vehi-
cles that have been type-approved according to the limit values given in row B of the
table in section 5.3.1.4 of Annex I, (b) whether the procedure for identifying outlyingemitters should be amended and (c) whether the procedures for in-service conformitytesting should be replaced at an appropriate time by a new statistical procedure. Ifappropriate, the Commission will propose the necessary amendments in accordance
withth e procedure laid down in Article 13 of Directive 70/156/EEC.
(
3) For any vehicle, the ‘intermediate zone’ is determined as follows. The vehicle shall
meet the conditions given in either section 3.2.1 or section 3.2.2 and in addition, themeasured value for the same regulated pollutant shall be below a level that is deter-mined from the product of the limit value for the same regulated pollutant given in
row A of the table in section 5.3.1.4 of Annex I multiplied by a factor of 2,5.▼M19
▼M19
different causes, another vehicle is taken at random from the sample,
unless the maximum sample size has already been reached.
3.2.3.4. If the maximum sample size is reached and not more than one vehicle
meeting the requirements of this section has been found where the
excess emission is due to the same cause, the sample is regarded as
having passed with regard to the requirements of section 3 of this
Appendix.
3.2.3.5. If, at any time, the initial sample has been exhausted, another vehicle
is added to the initial sample and that vehicle is taken.
3.2.3.6. Whenever another vehicle is taken from the sample, the statistical
procedure of paragraph 4 of this Appendix is applied to the increased
sample.
3.2.4. In the specific case of a vehicle with a measured emission for any
regulated pollutant within the ‘failure zone’ (1).
3.2.4.1. If the vehicle meets the conditions of this section, the type-approval
authority shall determine the cause of the excess emission and anothervehicle is then taken at random from the sample.
3.2.4.2. Where more than one vehicle meets the condition of this section, and
the type-approval authority determines that the excess emission is due
to the same cause, the manufacturer shall be informed that the sample
is regarded as having failed, together with the reasons for that deci-
sion, and the plan of remedial measures outlined in section 6 of
Appendix 3 applies.
3.2.4.3. When only one vehicle meeting the conditions of this section has
been found, or when more than one vehicle has been found and the
type-approval authority has determined that it is due to different
causes, another vehicle is taken at random from the sample, unless
the maximum sample size has already been reached.
3.2.4.4. If the maximum sample size is reached and not more than one vehicle
meeting the requirements of this section has been found where the
excess emission is due to the same cause, the sample is regarded as
having passed with regard to the requirements of section 3 of this
Appendix.
3.2.4.5. If, at any time, the initial sample has been exhausted, another vehicle
is added to the initial sample and that vehicle is taken.
3.2.4.6. Whenever another vehicle is taken from the sample, the statistical
procedure of paragraph 4 of this Appendix is applied to the increased
sample.
3.2.5. Whenever a vehicle is not found to be an outlying emitter, another
vehicle is taken at random from the sample.
4. PROCEDURE TO BE FOLLOWED WITHOUT SEPARATE
EVALUATION OF OUTLYING EMITTERS IN THE SAMPLE.
4.1. With a minimum sample size of three the sampling procedure is set
so that the probability of a batch passing a test with 40 % of the
production defective is 0,95 (producer's risk = 5 %) while the prob-
ability of a batchbeing accepted with75 % of th e production
defective is 0,15 (consumer's risk = 15 %).
4.2. For eachof th e pollutants given in ►
C3section 5.3.1.4 of Annex
I,◄the following procedure is used ►M19(see Figure I.9) ◄.
Where
L = the limit value for the pollutant,
Xi= the value of the measurement for the i-th vehicle of the
sample,
n = the current sample number.
4.3. The test statistic quantifying the number of non-conforming vehicles,
i. e. xi> L, is computed for the sample.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 40
(1) For any vehicle, the ‘failure zone’ is determined as follows. The measured value for
any regulated pollutant exceeds a level that is determined from the product of the limitvalue for the same regulated pollutant given in row A of the table in section 5.3.1.4. of
Annex I multiplied by a factor of 2.5.▼M15
▼M15
4.4. Then:
— if the test statistic does not exceed the pass decision number for
the sample size given in the following table, a pass decision is
reached for the pollutant,
— if the test statistic equals or exceeds the fail decision number for
the sample size given in the following table, a fail decision is
reached for the pollutant,
— otherwise, an additional vehicle is tested and the procedure is
applied to the sample with one extra unit.
In the following table the pass and fail decision numbers are
computed in accordance withth e International Standard ISO
8422:1991.
5. A sample is regarded as having passed the test when it has passed
both the requirements of sections 3 and 4 of this Appendix.

Appendix 1 to this Annex.
2.2. General conditionsunderwhichthecycle iscarriedout
Preliminary testing cycles must be carried out if necessary to
determine how best to actuate the accelerator and brake controls
so as to achieve a cycle approximating to the theoretical cycle
within the prescribed limits.
2.3. Useofgearbox
2.3.1. If the maximum speed which can be attained in first gear is
below 15 km/h, the second, third and fourth gears are used for
the elementary urban cycles (Part One) and the second, third,
fourth and fifth gears for the extra-urban cycle (Part Two). The
second, third and fourth gears may also be used for the urban
cycle (Part One) and the second, third, four and fifth gears for
the extra-urban cycle (Part Two) when the driving instructions
recommend starting in second gear on level ground, or when first
gear is therein defined as a gear reserved for cross-country
driving, crawling or towing.
►M15Vehicles which do not attain the acceleration ◄and
maximum speed values required in the operating cycle must be
operated with the accelerator control fully depressed until they
once again reachth e required operating curve. Deviations from
the operating cycle must be recorded in the test report.
2.3.2. Vehicles equipped with semi-automatic-gearboxes are tested by
using the gears normally employed for driving, and the gear is
used in accordance withth e manufacturer's instructions.
2.3.3. Veh icles equipped withautomatic gearboxes are tested withth e
highest gear (drive) engaged. The accelerator must be used in
sucha way as to obtain th e steadiest acceleration possible,
enabling the various gears to be engaged in the normal order.
Furthermore, the gear-change points shown in Appendix 1 to
this Annex do not apply; acceleration must continue throughout
the period represented by the straight line connecting the end of
each period of idling with the beginning of the next following
period of steady speed. The tolerances given in 2.4 apply.
2.3.4. Vehicles equipped with an overdrive which the driver can acti-
vate are tested with the overdrive out of action for the urban
cycle (Part One) and with the overdrive in action for the extra-
urban cycle (Part Two).
2.3.5. At the request of the manufacturer, for a vehicle type where the
idle speed of the engine is higher than the engine speed that
would occur during operations 5, 12 and 24 of the elementary
urban cycle (Part One), the clutch may be disengaged during the
previous operation.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 53

2.4. Tolerances
2.4.1. A tolerance of ± 2 km/his allowed between th e indicated speed
and the theoretical speed during acceleration, during steady
speed, and during deceleration when the vehicle's brakes are
used. If the vehicle decelerates more rapidly without the use of
the brakes, only the requirements of 6.5.3 apply. Speed tolerances
greater than those prescribed are accepted during phase changes
provided that the tolerances are never exceeded for more than
0,5 on any one occasion.
2.4.2. The time tolerances are ± 1,0 s. The above tolerances apply
equally at the beginning and at the end of each gear changing
period (1) for the urban cycle (Part One) and for the operations
Nos 3, 5 and 7 of the extra-urban cycle (Part Two).
2.4.3. The speed and time tolerances are combined as indicated in
Appendix 1.

4.1.1. The dynamometer must be capable of simulating road load within
one of the following classifications:
— dynamometer withfixed load curve, i.e. a dynamometer
whose physical characteristics provide a fixed load curve
shape,
— dynamometer withajustable load curve, i.e. a dynamometer
withat least two road load parameters th at can be adjusted
to shape the load curve.
4.1.2. The setting of the dynamometer must not be affected by the lapse
of time. It must not produce any vibrations perceptible to the
vehicle and likely to impair the vehicle's normal operations.

accuracy of ± 5 %.
4.1.4.2. In the case of a dynamometer with a fixed load curve the accu-
racy of the load setting at 80 km/h must be ± 5 %. In the case of
a dynamometer withan adjustable load curve, th e accuracy of
matching dynamometer load to road load ►M12must be 5 %
at 120, 100, 80, 60 and 40, and 10 % at 20 km/h. ◄Below
this, dynamometer absorption must be positive.

inertia where applicable) must be known and must be within ± 20
kilograms of the inertia class for the test.
4.1.4.4. The speed of the vehicle must be measured by the speed of rota-
tion of the roller (the front roller in the case of a two roller
dynamometer). It must be measured withan accuracy of ± 1 km/
hat speeds above 10 km/h .
4.1.5. Load and inertia setting
4.1.5.1. Dynamometer withfixed load curve: th e load simulator must be
adjusted to absorb the power exerted on the driving wheels at a
steady speed of 80 km/hand th e absorbed power at 50 km/hsh all

described in Appendix 3.
4.1.5.2. Dynamometer withadjustable load curve: th e load simulator must
be adjusted in order to absorb the power exerted on the driving
wheels at steady ►M12speeds of 120, 100, 80, 60, 40 and
20 km/h. ◄The means by which these loads are determined
and set are described in Appendix 3.
4.1.5.3. Inertia
Dynamometers withelectrical inertia simulation must be demon-
strated to be equivalent to mechanical inertia systems. The means
by which equivalence is established is described in Appendix 4.
4.2. Exhaust-gassamplingsystem
4.2.1. The exhaust gas sampling system must be able to measure the
actual quantities of pollutants emitted in the exhaust gases to be
measured. The system to be used is the constant volume sampler
(CVS) system. This requires that the vehicle exhaust be continu-
ously diluted withambient air under controlled conditions. In th e
constant volume sampler concept of measuring two conditions
must be satisfied: the total volume of the mixture of exhaust
gases and dilution air must be measured and a continuously
proportional sample of the volume must be collected for analysis.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 55
▼M9
▼M9
The quantities of pollutants emitted are determined from the
sample concentrations, corrected for the pollutant content of the
ambient air and the totalized flow over the test period.
The particulate pollutant emission level is determined by using
suitable filters to collect the particulates from a proportional part
flow throughout the test and determining the quantity thereof
gravimetrically in accordance with4.3.2.
4.2.2. The flow through the system must be sufficient to eliminate water
condensation at all conditions which may occur during a test, as
defined in Appendix 5.
4.2.3. ►M12 ◄Appendix 5 gives examples of three
types of constant volume sampler system which satisfy the
requirements set out in this Annex.
4.2.4. The gas and air mixture must be homogeneous at point S2of the
sampling probe.
4.2.5. The probe must extract a true sample of the diluted exhaust
gases.
4.2.6. The system must be free of gas leaks. The design and materials
must be such that the system does not influence the pollutant
concentration in the diluted exhaust gas. Should any component
(heat exchanger, blower, etc.) change the concentration of any
pollutant gas in the diluted gas, the sampling for that pollutant
must be carried out before that component if the problem cannot
be corrected.
4.2.7. If the vehicle being tested is equipped with an exhaust pipe
comprising several branches, ►M12the connecting tubes must
be connected as near as possible to the vehicle but in such a
manner so as not to effect the functioning of the vehicle. ◄
4.2.8. Static pressure variations at the tailpipe(s) of the vehicle must
remain within ± 1,25 kPa of the static pressure variations
measured during the dynamometer driving cycle with no connec-
tion to the tailpipe(s). Sampling systems capable of maintaining
the static pressure to within ± 0,25 kPa are used if a written
request from a manufacturer to the competent authority issuing
the approval substantiates the need for the narrower tolerance.
The back-pressure must be measured in the exhaust pipe, as near
as possible to its end or in an extension having the same
diameter.
4.2.9. The various valves used to direct the exhaust gases must be of a
quick-adjustment, quick-acting type.
4.2.10. The gas samples are collected in sample bags of adequate capa-
city. These bags must be made of such materials as will not
change the pollutant gas by more than ± 2 % after 20 minutes
of storage.
4.3. Analyticalequipment

cent (CLA) or of the non-dispensive ultraviolet resonance
absorption (NDUVR) type, bothwithan NOx— NO converter.
Particulates:Gravimetric determination of the particulates collected. These
particulates are in eachcase collected by two series-mounted
filters in the sample gas flow. The quantity of particulates
collected by eachpair of filters must be as follows:
—V
ep: flow through filters
—Vmix: flow through tunnel
— M: particulates mass (g/km)
—Mlimit: limit mass of particulates (limit mass in force, g/km)
— m: mass of particulates collected by filters (g)
— d: actual distance corresponding to the operating cycle (km)
M¼Vmix/C1m
Vep/C1dor m ¼M:d/C1Vep
Vmix
The particulates sample rate (Vep/Vmix) will be adjusted so that
for M = Mlimit,1≤m≤5 mg (when 47 mm diameter filters
are used).
The filter surface consist of a material that is hydrophobic and
inert towards the components of the exhaust gas (fluorocarbon-
coated glass-fibre filters or equivalent).
4.3.1.2. Accuracy

gas sample pollutants.
Measurement error must not exceed ± 2 % (intrinsic error of
analyser) disregarding the true value for the calibration gases.

Measurement of the particulates collected shall be to a guaranteedaccuracy of 1 µg.
The microgram balance used to determine the weight of all filters
must have an accuracy of 5 µg and readability of 1 µg.

ionization detector (HFID), including recorder (R) must be used.
The average concentration of the measured hydrocarbons must be
determined by integration. Throughout the test, the temperature of
theheatedsamplelinemustbecontrolledat463K(190ºC)±10K.The heated sampling line must be fitted with a heated filter (Fh)

rate regulator and measuring unit. The particulate-sampling part
flow is drawn through two series-mounted filters. ►M12The
sampling probe for the test gas flow for particulates must be so
arranged within the dilution tract that a representative sample
gas flow can be taken from the homogeneous air/exhaust mixture
and an air/exhaust gas mixture temperature of 325 K (52 ºC) is
not exceeded immediately before the particulate filter. ◄.T he
temperature of the gas flow in the flow meter may not fluctuate
more than ± 3 K, nor may the mass flow-rate fluctuate by more
than ± 5 %. Should the volume of flow change unacceptably as a
result of excessive filter loading, the test must be stopped. When
it is repeated, the rate of flow must be decreased and/or a larger
filter used. The filters must be removed from the chamber no
earlier than an hour before the test begins.
The necessary particle filters must be conditioned (as regards
temperature and humidity) in an open dish which has been
protected against dust ingress for at least eight and for not more
than 56 hours before the test in an air-conditioned chamber. After
this conditioning the uncontaminated filters are weighed and
stored until they are used.
If the filters are not used within one hour of their removal from
the weighing chamber they must be reweighed.
The one-hour limit may be replaced by an eight-hour limit if one
or bothof th e following conditions are met:
— a stabilized filter is placed and kept in a sealed filter holder
assembly withth e ends plugged, or
— a stabilized filter is placed in a sealed filter holder assembly
which is then immediatly placed in a sample line through
which there is no flow.
4.3.3. Calibration
Eachanalyser must be calibrated as often as necessary and in any
case in the month before type-approval testing and at least once
every six months for verifying conformity of production. The
calibration method to be used is described in Appendix 6 for the
analysers referred to in 4.3.1.
4.4. Volumemeasurement
4.4.1. The method of measuring total dilute exhaust volume incorpo-
rated in the constant volume sampler must be such that
measurement is accurate to ± 2 %.
4.4.2. Constant volume sampler calibration
The constant volume sampler system volume measurement device
must be calibrated by a method sufficient to ensure the prescribed
accuracy and at a frequency sufficient to maintain suchaccuracy.
An example of a calibration procedure which gives the required
accuracy is given in Appendix 6. The method utilizes a flow
metering device which is dynamic and suitable for the high
flow-rate encountered in constant volume sampler testing. The
device must be of certified accuracy in conformity withan
approved national or international standard.

exceed 5 % of the NO content).
The true concentration of a calibration gas must be within ± 2 %
of the stated figure.
The concentrations specified in Appendix 6 may also be obtained
by means of a gas divider, diluting withpurified N2or withpuri-
fied synthetic air. The accuracy of the mixing device must be
such that the concentrations of the diluted calibration gases may
be determined to within ± 2 %.
4.6. Additionalequipment
4.6.1. Temperatures
The temperatures indicated in Appendix 8 are measured with an

inertia
An inertia simulator is used enabling a total inertia of the rotating
masses to be obtained proportional to the reference mass within
the following limits:

If the corresponding equivalent inertia is not available on the
dynamometer, the larger value closest to the vehicle reference
mass will be used.
5.2. Settingofdynamometer
The load is adjusted according to methods described in 4.1.4.The method used and the values obtained (equivalent inertia —
characteristic adjustment parameter) must be recorded in the test
report.
5.3. Preconditioningofthevehicle
5.3.1. For compression-ignition engine vehicles for the purpose of
measuring particulates at most 36 hours and at least six hours
before testing, the Part Two cycle described in Appendix 1 must
be used. Three consecutive cycles must be driven. The dynam-
ometer setting is as indicated in 5.1 and 5.2.
At the request of the manufacturer vehicles with positive ignition
engine may be preconditioned withone Part I and two Part II
driving cycles.
After this preconditioning specific for compression ignition
engines and before testing, compression-ignition and positive
ignition engine vehicles must be kept in a room in which the
temperature remains relatively constant between 293 and 303 K
(20 and 30 ºC). This conditioning must be carried out for at least
six hours and continue until the engine oil temperature and
coolant, if any, are within ± 2 K of the temperature of the room.
If the manufacturer so requests, the test must be carried out not
later than 30 hours after the vehicle has been run at its normal
temperature.
5.3.1.1. For positive-ignition engined vehicles fuelled with LPG or NG or
so equipped that they can be fuelled with either petrol or LPG or
NG, between the tests on the first gaseous reference fuel and the
second gaseous reference fuel, the vehicle shall be preconditioned
before the test on the second reference fuel. This preconditioning
is done on the second reference fuel by driving a preconditioning
cycle consisting of one part one (urban part) and two times part
two (extra-urban part) of the test cycle described in Appendix 1
to this Annex. On the manufacturer's request and with the agree-
ment of the technical service this preconditioning cycle may be
extended. The dynamometer setting shall be the one indicated in
points 5.1 and 5.2 of this Annex.
5.3.2. The tyre pressures must be the same as that specified by the
manufacturer and used for the preliminary road test for brake
adjustment. The tyre pressures may be increased by up to 50 %
from the manufacturer's recommended setting in the case of a
two-roller dynamometer. The actual pressure used must be
recorded in the test report.
6. PROCEDURE FOR BENCH TESTS
6.1. Specialconditionsforcarrying outthecycle
6.1.1. During the test, the test cell temperature must be between 293
and 303 K (20 and 30 ºC). The absolute humidity (H) of either
the air in the test cell or the intake air of the engine must be
suchth at:
5,5≤H≤12,2 g H
2O/kg dry air
6.1.2. The vehicle must be approximately horizontal during the test so
as to avoid any abnormal distribution of the fuel.
6.1.3. ►M15A current of air of variable speed is blown over the
vehicle.◄The blower speed shall be such that, within the oper-
ating range of 10 km/h to at least 50 km/h, the linear velocity of
the air at the blower outlet is within ± 5 km/h of the corre-1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 60

the following characteristics:
— Area: at least 0,2 m2
— Height of the lower edge above ground: approximately 20 cm
— Distance from the front of the vehicle: approximately 30 cm
As an alternative the blower speed shall be at least 6m/s (21,6 km/
h). At the request of the manufacturer for special vehicles (e.g.
vans, off-road) the height of the cooling fan can be modified.
6.1.4. During the test the speed is recorded against time or collected by
the data acquisition system so that the correctness of the cycles
performed can be assessed.
6.2. Starting-uptheengine
6.2.1. The engine must be started up by means of the devices provided
for this purpose according to the manufacturer's instructions, as
incorporated in the driver's handbook of production vehicles.
6.2.2. ►M15The first cycle starts on the initiation of the engine start-
up procedure. ◄
6.2.3. In the case of the use of LPG or NG as a fuel it is permissible
that the engine is started on petrol and switched to LPG or NG
after a predetermined period of time which cannot be changed
by the driver.
6.3. Idling
6.3.1. Manual-shift or semi-automatic gearbox
See Appendix tables III.1.2 and III.1.3.
6.3.2. Automatic-shift gearbox
After initial engagement the selector must not be operated at any
time during the test except as in the case specified in 6.4.3 or if
the selector can actuate the overdrive, if any.
6.4. Accelerations
6.4.1. Accelerations must be so performed that the rate of acceleration
is as constant as possible throughout the phase.
6.4.2. If an acceleration cannot be carried out in the prescribed time, the
extra time required is, if possible, deducted from the time allowed
for changing gear, but otherwise from the subsequent steady-
speed period.
6.4.3. Automatic-shift gearboxes
If an acceleration cannot be carried out in the prescribed time, the
gear selector is operated in accordance withrequirements for
manual-shift gearboxes.
6.5. Deceleration
6.5.1. All decelerations of the elementary urban cycle (Part One) are
effected by removing the foot completely from the accelerator,
the clutch remaining engaged. The clutch is disengaged, without
use of the gear lever, at a speed of 10 km/h.
All the decelerations of the extra-urban cycle (Part Two) are
effected by removing the foot completely from the accelerator,
the clutch remaining engaged. The clutch is disengaged, without
use of the gear lever, at a speed of 50 km/h for the last decelera-
tion.
6.5.2. If the period of deceleration is longer than that prescribed for the
corresponding phase, the vehicle's brakes are used to enable the
timing of the cycle to be complied with.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 61
▼M9
▼M14

▼M9
6.5.3. If the period of deceleration is shorter than that prescribed for the
corresponding phase, the timing of the theoretical cycle is
restored by constant speed or idling period merging into the
following operation.
6.5.4. At the end of the deceleration period (halt of the vehicle on the
rollers) of the elementary urban cycle (Part One) the gears are
placed in neutral and the clutch engaged.
6.6. Steadyspeeds
6.6.1. Pumping or the closing of the throttle must be avoided when
passing from acceleration to the following steady speed.
6.6.2. Periods of constant speed are achieved by keeping the accelerator
position fixed.
7. GAS AND PARTICULATE SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS
7.1. Sampling
Sampling begins (BS) before or at the initiation of the engine
start-up procedure and ends on conclusion of the final idling
period in the extra-urban cycle (part two, end of sampling (ES))
or, in the case of test type VI of the final idling period of the last
elementary cycle (part one).
7.2. Analysis
7.2.1. The exhaust gases contained in the bag must be analysed as soon
as possible and in any event not later than 20 minutes after the
end of the test cycle. The spent particulate filters must be taken
to the chamber no later than one hour after conclusion of the test
on the exhaust gases and must there be conditioned for between
two and 36 hours and then be weighed.
7.2.2. Prior to eachsample analysis th e analyser range to be used for
eachpollutant must be set to zero withth e appropriate zero gas.
7.2.3. The analysers are then set to the calibration curves by means of
span gases of nominal concentrations of 70 to 100 % of therange.
7.2.4. The analysers' zeros are then rechecked. If the reading differs by
more than 2 % of range from that set in 7.2.2, the procedure is
repeated.
7.2.5. The samples are then analyzed.
7.2.6. After the analysis, zero and span points are rechecked using the
same gases. If these rechecks are within 2 % of those in 7.2.3,
the analysis is considered acceptable.
7.2.7. At all points in this section the flow-rates and pressures of the
various gases must be the same as those used during calibration
of the analysers.
7.2.8. The figure adopted for the concentration of each polluant
measured in the gases is that read off after stabilization on the
measuring device. Hydrocarbon mass emissions of compression-
ignition engines are calculated from the integrated HFID reading,
corrected for varying flow if necessary as shown in Appendix 5.

PARTICULATE POLLUTANTS EMITTED
8.1. Thevolumeconsidered
The volume to be considered must be corrected to conform to the
conditions of 101,33 kPa and 273,2 K.
8.2. Totalmassofgaseousandparticulatepollutantsemitted
The mass m of each gaseous pollutant emitted by the vehicle
during the test is determined by obtaining the product of the volu-
metric concentration and the volume of the gas in question, with1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 62

due regard to the following densities under the abovementioned
reference conditions:
In the case of carbon monoxide (CO): d = 1.25 g/l
In the case of hydrocarbons:for petrol (CH
1.85) d = 0.619 g/l
for diesel (CH1.86) d = 0.619 g/l
for LPG (CH2.525) d = 0.649 g/l
for NG (CH4) d = 0.714 g/l
In the case of nitrogen oxides (NO2): d = 2.05 g/l
The mass m of particulate pollutant emissions from the vehicle
during the test is defined by weighing the mass of particulates
collected by the two filters, m1by the first filter, m2by the
second filter:
— if 0,95 (m1+m2)≤m1,m=m1,
— if 0,95 (m1+m2)>m1,m=m1+m2,
—i fm2>m1, the test is cancelled.
Appendix 8 gives the calculations, followed by examples, used in
determining the mass emissions of gaseous and particulate pollu-
tants.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 63

Appendix 2
CHASSISDYNAMOMETER
1. DEFINITION OF A CHASSIS DYNAMOMETER WITH FIXED
LOAD CURVE
1.1. Introduction
In the event that the total resistance to progress on the road is not
reproduced on the chassis dynamometer between speeds of 10
and►M12120 km/h ◄, it is recommended to use a chassis
dynamometer having the characteristics defined below.
1.2. Definition
1.2.1. The chassis dynamometer may have one or two rollers.
The front roller drives, directly or indirectly, the inertia masses
and the power absorption device.
1.2.2. The load absorbed by the brake and the chassis dynamometer
internal frictional effects from the speed of 0 to 120 km/h is as
follows:
F=( a+b·V2) ± 0,1 · F80(without being negative)
where:F = total load absorbed by the chassis dynamometer (N)
a = value equivalent to rolling resistance (N)
b = value equivalent to coefficient of air resistance (N/(km/
h)
2)
V = speed (km/h)
F80= load at the speed of 80 km/h (N).
2. METHOD OF CALIBRATING THE DYNAMOMETER
2.1. Introduction
This Appendix describes the method to be used to determine the
load absorbed by a dynamometer brake.
The load absorbed comprises the load absorbed by frictional
effects and the load absorbed by the power-absorption device.
The dynamometer is brought into operation beyond the range of
test speeds. The device used for starting up the dynamometer is
then disconnected: the rotational speed of the driven roller
decreases.
The kinetic energy of rollers is dissipated by the power-absorp-
tion unit and by the frictional effects. This method disregards
variations in the roller's internal frictional effects caused by
rollers with or without the vehicle. The frictional effects of the
rear roller shall be disregarded when this is free.
2.2. ►M12 Calibrating the load indicator to 80 km/h as a func-
tionoftheloadabsorbed ◄
The following procedure is used (see also Figure III.2.2.2).
2.2.1. Measure the rotational speed of the roller if this has not already
been done. A fifth wheel, a revolution counter or some other
method may be used.
2.2.2. Place the vehicle on the dynamometer or devise some other
method of starting up the dynamometer.
2.2.3. Use the fly-wheel or any other system of inertia simulation for
the particular inertia class to be used.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 71

2.2.6. Bring the dynamometer to a speed of 90 km/h.
2.2.7. Disconnect the device used to start up the dynamometer.2.2.8. Note the time taken by the dynamometer to pass from a speed of
85 km/hto a speed of 75 km/h .
2.2.9. Set the power-absorption device at a different level.2.2.10. The requirements of 2.2.4 to 2.2.9 must be repeated sufficiently
often to cover the range of ►
M12load◄used.
2.2.11. Calculate the load absorbed, using the formula:
F¼Mi/C1∆V
t
where
F = load absorbed in N
Mi= equivalent inertia in kilograms (excluding the inertial
effects of free rear roller)
∆V = speed deviation in m/s (10 km/h= 2,775 m/s)
t = time taken by the roller to pass from 85 to 75 km/h.
2.2.12. Figure III.2.2.12 shows the load indicated at 80 km/h in terms of
the load absorbed at 80 km/h.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 72

2.4.3. Note the load absorbed at 120, 100, 80, 60, 40 and 20 km/h.►
M122.4.4. Draw the curve F(V) ◄and verify that it corresponds to the
requirements of 1.2.2.
2.4.5. Repeat the procedure set out in 2.4.1 to 2.4.4 for other values of
►M12load F◄at 80 km/hand for oth er values of inertia.
2.5. The same procedure must be used for force or torque calibration.
3. SETTING OF THE DYNAMOMETER
3.1. Settingmethods
The dynamometer setting may be carried out at a constant speed
of 80 km/hin accordance withth e requirements of Appendix 3.
3.1.1. Introduction
This method is not a preferred method and must be used only
withfixed load curve sh ape dynamometers for determination of
load setting at 80 km/hand cannot be used for veh icles with
compression-ignition engines.
3.1.2. Test instrumentation
The vacuum (or absolute pressure) in the intake manifold vehicle
is measured to an accuracy of ± 0,25 kPa. It must be possible to
record this reading continuously or at intervals of no more than
one second. The speed must be recorded continuously with a
precision of ± 0,4 km/h.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 73

3.1.3. Road test
3.1.3.1. Ensure that the requirements of section 4 of Appendix 3 are met.3.1.3.2. Drive the vehicle at a steady speed of 80 km/h recording speed
and vacuum (or absolute pressure) in accordance withth e require-
ments of 3.1.2.
3.1.3.3. Repeat procedure set out in 3.1.3.2 three times in each direction.
All six runs must be completed within four hours.
3.1.4. Data reduction and acceptance criteria
3.1.4.1. Review results obtained in accordance with3.1.3.2 and 3.1.3.3
(speed must not be lower than 79,5 km/h or greater than
80,5 km/hfor more th an one second). For eachrun, read vacuum
level at one-second intervals, calculate mean vacuum (
v) and
standard deviation(s). This calculation must consist of no less
than 10 readings of vacuum.
3.1.4.2. The standard deviation must not exceed 10 % of mean ( v) for
eachrun.
3.1.4.3. Calculate the mean value ( v) for the six runs (three runs in each
direction).
3.1.5. Dynamometer setting
3.1.5.1. Preparation
Perform the operations specified in 5.1.2.2.1 to 5.1.2.2.4 of
Appendix 3.
3.1.5.2. Setting
After warm-up, drive the vehicle at a steady speed of 80 km/h
and adjust dynamometer load to reproduce the vacuum reading
(v) obtained in accordance with3.1.4.3. Deviation from th is
reading must be no greater than 0,25 kPa. The same instruments
are used for this exercise as were used during the road test.
3.2. Alternativemethod
With the manufacturer's agreement the following method may be
used:

VERIFICATIONOFINERTIASOTHERTHANMECHANICAL
1. OBJECT
The method described in this Appendix makes it possible to
check that the simulated total inertia of the dynamometer is
carried out satisfactorily in the running phases of the operating
cycle.►M12The manufacturer of the dynamometer shall
provide a method to verify the specifications according to Section
3.◄
2. PRINCIPLE2.1. Drawingupworkingequations
Since the dynamometer is subjected to variations in the rotating
speed of the roller(s), the force at the surface of the roller(s) can
be expressed by the formula:
F=I· γ=I
M·γ+F1
where:
F = force at the surface of the roller(s),
I = total inertia of the dynamometer (equivalent inertia of the
vehicle: see table in Annex III section 5.1),
IM= inertia of the mechanical masses of the dynamometer,
γ= tangential acceleration at roller surface,
F1= inertia force.
Note:
An explanation of this formula with reference to dynamometers
withmech anically simulated inertias is appended.
Thus, the total inertia is expressed as follows:
I¼IMþFi
γ
where:
IMcan be calculated or measured by traditional methods.
Fican be measured on the dynamometer, but can also be calcu-
lated from the peripheral speed of the rollers. γmay be
calculated from the peripheral speed of the rollers.
The total inertia (I) is determined during an acceleration or decel-
eration test with values higher than or equal to those obtained on
an operating cycle.
2.2. Specificationforthecalculationoftotalinertia
The test and calculation methods must make it possible to deter-
mine the total inertia I with a relative error ( ∆I/I) of less than 2 %.
3. SPECIFICATION
3.1. The mass of the simulated total inertia I must remain the same as
the theoretical value of the equivalent inertia (see 5.1 of Annex
III) within the following limits:
3.1.1. ± 5 % of the theoretical value for each instantaneous value;
3.1.2. ± 2 % of the theoretical value for the average value calculated for
eachsequence of th e cycle.
3.2. The limit given in 3.1.1 is brought to ± 50 % for one second
when starting and, for vehicles with manual transmission, for
two seconds during gear changes.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 81

4. VERIFICATION PROCEDURE
4.1. Verification is carried out during each test throughout the cycle
defined in 2.1 of Annex III.
4.2. However, if the requirements of section 3 are met, with instanta-
neous accelerations which are at least three times greater orsmaller than the values obtained in the sequences of the theore-
tical cycle, the verification described above is not necessary.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 82

DESCRIPTIONOFTAILPIPEEMISSION-SAMPLINGSYSTEMS
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. There are several types of sampling devices capable of meeting
the requirements set out in section 4.2 of Annex III.
The devices described in 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 will be deemed accep-
table if they satisfy the main criteria relating to the variable
dilution principle.
1.2. In its communications, the laboratory must mention the system of
sampling used when performing the test.
2. CRITERIA RELATING TO THE VARIABLE-DILUTION
SYSTEM FOR MEASURING EXHAUST-GAS EMISSIONS
2.1. Scope
This section specifies the operating characteristics of an exhaust-
gas sampling system intended to be used for measuring the true
mass emissions of a vehicle exhaust in accordance with the provi-
sions of this Directive. The principle of variable-dilution
sampling for measuring mass emissions requires three conditions
to be satisfied:
2.1.1. the vehicle exhaust gases must be continuously diluted with
ambient air under specified conditions;
2.1.2. the total volume of the mixture of exhaust gases and dilution air
must be measured accurately;
2.1.3. a continuously proportional sample of the diluted exhaust gases
and the dilution air must be collected for analysis.
The quantity of gaseous pollutants emitted is determined from the
proportional sample concentrations and the total volume
measured during the test. The sample concentrations are corrected
to take account of the pollutant content of the ambient air. In
addition, where vehicles are equipped with compression-ignition
engines, their particulate emissions are plotted.
2.2. Technicalsummary
Figure III.5.2.2 gives a schematic diagram of the sampling
system.
2.2.1. The vehicle exhaust gases must be diluted with a sufficient
amount of ambient air to prevent any water condensation in the
sampling and measuring system.
2.2.2. The exhaust-gas sampling system must be so designed as to make
it possible to measure the average volume concentrations of the
CO2, CO, HC and NOx, and, in addition, in the case of vehicles
equipped withcompression-ignition engines, of th e particulate
emissions, contained in the exhaust gases emitted during the
vehicle testing cycle.
2.2.3. The mixture of air and exhaust gases must be homogeneous at the
point where the sampling probe is located (see 2.3.1.2).
2.2.4. The probe must extract a representative sample of the diluted
gases.
2.2.5. The system must make it possible to measure the total volume of
the diluted exhaust gases from the vehicle being tested.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 83

1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 84
▼M9
2.2.6. The sampling system must be gas-tight. The design of the vari-
able-dilution sampling system and the materials that go to make
it up must be such that they do not affect the pollutant concentra-
tion in the diluted exhaust gases. Should any component in the
system (heat exchanger, cyclone separator, blower, etc.) change
the concentration of any of the pollutants in the diluted exhaust
gases and the fault cannot be corrected, then sampling for that
pollutant must be carried out before that component.
2.2.7. If the vehicle tested is equipped with an exhaust system
comprising more than one tailpipe, the connecting tubes must be
connected together by a manifold installed as near as possible to
the vehicle.
2.2.8. The gas samples must be collected in sampling bags of adequate
capacity so as not to hinder the gas flow during the sampling
period. These bags must be made of such materials as will not
affect the concentration of pollutant gases (see 2.3.4.4).
2.2.9. The variable-dilution system must be so designed as to enable the
exhaust gases to be sampled without appreciably changing the
back-pressure at the exhaust pipe outlet (see 2.3.1.1).
2.3. Specificrequirements
2.3.1. Exhaust-gas collection and dilution device
2.3.1.1. The connection tube between the vehicle exhaust tailpipe(s) and
the mixing chamber must be as short as possible; it must in no
case:
— cause the static pressure at the exhaust tailpipe(s) on the
vehicle being tested to differ by more than ± 0,75 kPa at
50 km/h or more than ± 1,25 kPa for the whole duration of
the test from the static pressures recorded when nothing is
connected to the vehicle tailpipes. The pressure must be
measured in the exhaust tailpipe or in an extension having
the same diameter, as near as possible to the end of the pipe,
— change the nature of the exhaust gas.
2.3.1.2. There must be a mixing chamber in which the vehicle exhaust
gases and the dilution air are mixed so as to produce a homoge-
neous mixture at the chamber outlet.
The homogeneity of the mixture in any cross-section at the loca-
tion of the sampling probe must not vary by more than ± 2 %
from the average of the values obtained at least five points
located at equal intervals on the diameter of the gas stream. In
order to minimize the effects on the conditions at the exhaust tail-
pipe and to limit the drop in pressure inside the dilution air-
conditioning device, if any, the pressure inside the mixing
chamber must not differ by more than 0,25 kPa from atmospheric
pressure.
2.3.2. Suction device/volume measuring device
This device may have a range of fixed speeds so as to ensure
sufficient flow to prevent any water condensation. This result is
generally obtained by keeping the concentration of CO2in the
dilute exhaust-gas sampling bag lower than 3 % by volume.
2.3.3. Volume measurement
2.3.3.1. The volume measuring device must retain its calibration accuracy
to within ± 2 % under all operating conditions. If the device
cannot compensate for variations in the temperature of the
mixture of exhaust gases and dilution air at the measuring point,
a heat exchanger must be used to maintain the temperature to
within ± 6 K of the specified operating temperature.
If necessary, a cyclone separator can be used to protect the
volume measuring device.
2.3.3.2. A temperature sensor must be installed immediately before the
volume measuring device. This temperature sensor must have an
accuracy and a precision of ± 1 K and a response time of 0,1
second at 62 % of a given temperature variation (value measured
in silicone oil).
2.3.3.3. The pressure measurements must have a precision and an accu-
racy of ± 0,4 kPa during the test.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 85
▼M9
2.3.3.4. The measurement of the pressure difference from atmospheric
pressure is taken before and, if necessary, after the volume
measuring device.
2.3.4. Gas sampling
2.3.4.1. Dilute exhaust gases2.3.4.1.1. The sample of dilute exhaust gases is taken before the suction
device but after the conditioning devices (if any).
2.3.4.1.2. The flow-rate must not deviate by more than ± 2 % from the
average.
2.3.4.1.3. The sampling rate must not fall below 5 litres per minute and
must not exceed 0,2 % of the flow-rate of the dilute exhaust
gases.
2.3.4.1.4. An equivalent limit applies to constant-mass sampling systems.
2.3.4.2. Dilution air
2.3.4.2.1. A sample of the dilution air is taken at a constant flow-rate near
the ambient air inlet (after the filter if one is fitted).
2.3.4.2.2. The air must not be contaminated by exhaust gases from the
mixing area.
2.3.4.2.3. The sampling rate for the dilution air must be comparable to that
used in the case of the dilute exhaust gases.
2.3.4.3. Sampling operations
2.3.4.3.1. The materials used for the sampling operations must be such that
they do not change the pollutant concentration.
2.3.4.3.2. Filters may be used in order to extract the solid particles from the
sample.
2.3.4.3.3. Pumps are required in order to convey the sample to the sampling
bag(s).
2.3.4.3.4. Flow control valves and flow-meters are needed in order to obtain
the flow-rates required for sampling.
2.3.4.3.5. Quick-fastening gas-tight connections may be used between the
three-way valves and the sampling bags, the connections sealing
themselves automatically on the bag side. Other systems may be
used for conveying the samples to the analyzer (three-way stop
valves, for example).
2.3.4.3.6. The various valves used for directing the sampling gases must be
of the quick-adjusting and quick-acting type.
2.3.4.4. Storage of the sample
The gas samples are collected in sampling bags of adequate capa-
city so as not to reduce the sampling rate. The bags must be made
of such a material as will not change the concentration of
synthetic pollutant gases by more than ± 2 % after 20 minutes.
2.4. Additional sampling unit for the testing of vehicles equipped
withacompression-ignitionengine
2.4.1. By way of a departure from the taking of gas samples from vehi-
cles equipped with spark-ignition engines, the hydrocarbon and
particulate sampling points are located in a dilution tunnel.
2.4.2. In order to reduce heat losses in the exhaust gases between the
exhaust tail pipe and the dilution tunnel inlet, the pipe may not
be more than 3,6 m long, or 6,1 m long if heat insulated. Its
internal diameter may not exceed 105 mm.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 86

▼M9
2.4.3. Predominantly turbulent flow conditions (Reynolds
number≥4 000) must apply in the dilution tunnel, which
consists of a straight tube of electrically-conductive material, in
order to guarantee that the diluted exhaust gas is homogeneous
at the sampling points and that the samples consist of representa-
tive gases and particulates. The dilution tunnel must be at least
200 mm in diameter and the system must be earthed.
2.4.4. The particulate sampling system consists of a sampling probe in
the dilution tunnel and two series-mounted filters. Quick-acting
valves are located bothup and downstream of th e two filters in
the direction of flow.
The configuration of the sample probe must be as indicated in
Figure III.5.2.4.4.
2.4.5. The particulate sampling probe must be arranged as follows:
It must be installed in the vicinity of the tunnel centreline,
roughly 10 tunnel diameters downstream of the gas inlet, and
have an internal diameter of at least 12 mm.
The distance from the sampling tip to the filter mount must be at
least five probe diameters, but must not exceed 1 020 mm.
2.4.6. The sample gas flow measuring unit consists of pumps, gas flow
regulators and flow measuring units.
2.4.7. The hydrocarbon sampling system consists of a heated sampling
probe, line, filter and pump. The sampling probe must be
installed in such a way, at the same distance from the exhaust
gas inlet as the particulate sampling probe, that neither interferes
with samples taken by the other. It must have a minimum internal
diameter of 4 mm.
2.4.8. All heated parts must be maintained at a temperature of 463 K
(190 ºC) ± 10 K by the heating system.
2.4.9. If it is not possible to compensate for variations in the flow rate
there must be a heat exchanger and a temperature control device
as specified in 2.3.3.1 so as to ensure that the flow rate in the
system is constant and the sampling rate is accordingly propor-
tional.
3. DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICES
3.1. Variable dilution device with positive displacement pump
(PDP-CVS) (Figure III.5.3.1.)
3.1.1. The positive displacement pump — constant volume sampler
(PDP-CVS) satisfies the requirements of this Annex by metering
at a constant temperature and pressure through the pump. The
total volume is measured by counting the revolutions made by
the calibrated positive displacement pump. The proportional
sample is achieved by sampling with pump, flow-meter and flow
control valve at a constant flow-rate.
3.1.2. Figure III.5.3.1 is a schematic drawing of such a sampling
system. Since various configurations can produce accurate results
exact conformity withth e drawing is not essential. Additional
components suchas instruments, valves, solenoids and switch es
may be used to provide additional information and coordinate
the functions of the component system.
3.1.3. The collecting equipment consists of:
3.1.3.1. a filter (D) for the dilution air, which can be preheated if neces-
sary. This filter must consist of activated charcoal sandwiched
between two layers of paper, and shall be used to reduce and
stabilize the hydrocarbon concentrations of ambient emissions in
the dilution air;
3.1.3.2. a mixing chamber (M) in which exhaust gas and air are mixed
homogeneously;1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 88

3.1.3.3. a heat exchanger (H) of a capacity sufficient to ensure that
throughout the test the temperature of the air/exhaust-gas mixture
measured at a point immediately upstream of the positive displa-
cement pump is within ± 6 K of the designed operating
temperature. This device must not affect the pollutant concentra-
tions of diluted gases taken off after for analysis;
3.1.3.4. a temperature control system (TC), used to preheat the heat
exchanger before the test and to control its temperature during
the test, so that deviations from the designed operating tempera-
ture are limited to ± 6 K;
3.1.3.5. the positive displacement pump (PDP), used to transport a
constant-volume flow of the air/exhaust-gas mixture; the flow
capacity of the pump must be large enough to eliminate water
condensation in the system under all operating conditions which
may occur during a test; this can be generally ensured by using
a positive displacement pump witha flow capacity:
3.1.3.5.1. — twice as high as the maximum flow of exhaust gas produced
by accelerations of the driving cycle, or
3.1.3.5.2. — sufficient to ensure that the CO2concentration in the dilute-
exhaust sample bag is ►M14less than 3 % by volume for petrol
and diesel, less than 2,2 % by volume for LPG and less than
1,5 % by volume for NG; ◄
3.1.3.6. a temperature sensor (T1) (accuracy and precision ± 1 K), fitted at
a point immediately upstream of the positive displacement pump;
it must be designed to monitor continuously the temperature of
diluted exhaust-gas mixture during the test;
3.1.3.7. a pressure gauge (G1) (accuracy and precision ± 0,4 kPa) fitted
immediately upstream of the volume meter and used to register
the pressure gradient between the gas mixture and the ambient
air;
3.1.3.8. another pressure gauge (G2) (accuracy and precision ± 0,4 kPa)
fitted so that the different pressure between pump inlet and
pump outlet can be registered;
3.1.3.9. two sampling outlets (S1and S2) for taking constant samples of
the dilution air and of the diluted exhaust-gas/air mixture;
3.1.3.10. a filter (F), to extract solid particles from the flows of gas
collected for analysis;
3.1.3.11. pumps (P), to collect a constant flow of the dilution air as well as
the diluted exhaust-gas/air mixture during the test;
3.1.3.12. flow controllers (N), to ensure a constant uniform flow of the gas
samples taken during the course of the test from sampling probes
S1and S2; and flow of the gas samples must be such that, at the
end of each test, the quantity of the samples is sufficient for
analysis ( =10 litres per minute);
3.1.3.13. flow-meters (FL), for adjusting and monitoring the constant flow
of gas samples during the test;
3.1.3.14. quick-acting valves (V), to divert a constant flow of gas samples
into the sampling bags or to the outside vent;
3.1.3.15. gas-tight, quick-lock coupling elements (Q) between the quick-
acting valves and the sampling bags; the coupling must close
automatically on the sampling-bag side; as an alternative, other
ways of transporting the samples to the analyzer may be used
(three-way stopcocks, for instance);
3.1.3.16. bags (B), for collecting samples of the diluted exhaust gas and of
the dilution air during the test; they must be of sufficient capacity
not to impede the sample flow; the bag material must be such as
to affect neither the measurements themselves nor the chemical
composition of the gas samples (for instance: laminated polyethy-
lene/polyamide films, or fluorinated polyhydrocarbons);
3.1.3.17. a digital counter (C), to register the number of revolutions
performed by the positive displacement pump during the test;1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 90

3.1.4. Additional equipment required when testing diesel-engined vehi-
cles
To comply withth e requirements of 4.3.1.1 and 4.3.2 of Annex
III, the additional components within the dotted lines in Figure
III.5.3.1 must be used when testing diesel-engined vehicles:

to be analysed on the HFID,

switching arrangement for further parallel-mounted pairs
of filters,
sampling line,pumps, flow regulators, flow measuring units.
3.2. Critical-flow venturi dilution device (CFV-CVS) (Figure
III.5.3.2.)
3.2.1. Using a critical-flow venturi in connection withth e CVS
sampling procedure is based on the principles of flow mechanics
for critical flow. The variable mixture flow rate of dilution and
exhaust gas is maintained as sonic velocity which is directly
proportional to the square root of the gas temperature. Flow is
continually monitored, computed and integrated over the test.
If an additional critical-flow sampling venturi is used, the propor-
tionality of the gas samples taken is ensured. As both pressure
and temperature are equal at the two venturi inlets the volume
of the gas flow diverted for sampling is proportional to the total
volume of diluted exhaust-gas mixture produced, and thus the
requirements of this Annex are met.
3.2.2. Figure III.5.3.2 is a schematic drawing of such a sampling
system. Since various configurations can produce accurate results,
exact conformity withth e drawing is not essential. Additional
components suchas instruments, valve, solenoids, and switch es
may be used to provide additional information and coordinate
the functions of the component system.
3.2.3. The collecting equipment consists of:
3.2.3.1. a filter (D) for the dilution air, which can be preheated if neces-
sary: the filter must consist of activated charcoal sandwiched
between layers of paper, and must be used to reduce and stabilize
the hydrocarbon background emission of the dilution air;
3.2.3.2. a mixing chamber (M), in which exhaust gas and air are mixed
homogeneously;
3.2.3.3. a cyclone separator (CS), to extract particles;
3.2.3.4. two sampling probes (S
1and S2) for taking samples of the dilu-
tion air and of the diluted exhaust gas/air mixture;
3.2.3.5. a sampling critical flow venturi (SV), to take proportional
samples of the diluted exhaust gas at sampling probe S2;
3.2.3.6. a filter (F), to extract solid particles from the gas flows diverted
for analysis;
3.2.3.7. pumps (P), to collect part of the flow of air and diluted exhaust
gas in bags during the test;

test, the quantity of the samples is sufficient for analysis (10 litres

samples into the sampling bags or the vent;
3.2.3.12. gas-tight, quick-lock coupling elements (Q), between the quick-
acting valves and the sampling bags; the couplings must close
automatically on the sampling bag side; as an alternative, other
ways of transporting the samples to the analyzer may be used
(three-way stopcocks, for instance);
3.2.3.13. bags (B), for collecting samples of the diluted exhaust gas and the
dilution air during the tests; they must be of sufficient capacity
not to impede the sample flow; the bag material must be such as
to affect neither the measurements themselves nor the chemical
composition of the gas samples (for instance: laminated polyethy-
lene/polyamide films, or fluorinated polyhydrocarbons);
3.2.3.14. a pressure gauge (G), which is precise and accurate to
within ± 0,4 kPa;
3.2.3.15. a temperature sensor (T), which is precise and accurate to
within ± 1 K and have a response time of 0,1 seconds to 62 %
of a temperature change (as measured in silicon oil);
3.2.3.16. a measuring critical flow venturi tube (MV), to measure the flow
volume of the diluted exhaust gas;
3.2.3.17. a blower (BL), of sufficient capacity to handle the total volume
of diluted exhaust gas;
3.2.3.18. the capacity of the CFV-CVS system must be such that under all
operating conditions which may possibly occur during a test there
will be no condensation of water. This is generally ensured by
using a blower whose capacity is:
3.2.3.18.1. twice as high as the maximum flow of exhaust gas produced by
accelerations of the driving cycle, or
3.2.3.18.2. sufficient to ensure that the CO2concentration in the dilute
exhaust sample bag is less than 3 % by volume.
3.2.4. Additional equipment required when testing diesel-engined vehi-
cles
To comply withth e requirements of 4.3.1.1 and 4.3.2 of Annex
III, the additional components shown within the dotted lines of

neous hydrocarbon concentrations,
Lhis a h eated sample line.
All heated components must be maintained at 463 K
(190 ºC) ± 10 K.
If compensation for varying flow is not possible, then a heat
exchanger (H) and temperature control system (TC) as described
in 2.2.3 will be required to ensure constant flow through the
venturi (MV) and thus proportional flow through S3.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 94

METHODOFCALIBRATINGTHEEQUIPMENT
1. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE CALIBRATION CURVE
1.1. Eachnormally used operating range is calibrated in accordance
with the requirements of 4.3.3 of Annex III by the following
procedure:
1.2. The analyzer calibration curve is established by at least five cali-
bration points spaced as uniformly as possible. The nominal
concentration of the calibration gas of the highest concentration
must be not less than 80 % of the full scale.
1.3. The calibration curve is calculated by the least squares method. If
the resulting polynomial degree is greater than three, the number
of calibration points must be at least equal to this polynomial
degree plus two.
1.4. The calibration curve must not differ by more than 2 % from the
nominal value of eachcalibration gas.
1.5. Traceofthecalibrationcurve
From the trace of the calibration curve and the calibration points
it is possible to verify that the calibration has been carried out
correctly. The different characteristic parameters of the analyzer
must be indicated, particularly:
— the scale,
— the sensitivity,
— the zero point,— the date of carrying out the calibration.
1.6. If it can be shown to the satisfaction of the technical service that
alternative technology (e.g. computer, electronically controlled
range switch, etc.) can give equivalent accuracy, then these alter-
natives may be used.
1.7. Verificationofthecalibration
1.7.1. Eachnormally used operating range must be ch ecked prior to
eachanalysis in accordance withth e following:
1.7.2. The calibration is checked by using a zero gas and a span gas
whose nominal value is within 80 to 95 % of the supposed value
to be analyzed.
1.7.3. If, for the two points considered, the value found does not differ
by more than ± 5 % of the full scale from the theoretical value,
the adjustment parameters may be modified. Should this not be
the case, a new calibration curve must be established in accor-
dance withsection 1.
1.7.4. After testing, zero gas and the same span gas are used for re-
checking. The analysis is considered acceptable if the difference
between the two measuring results is less than 2 %.
2. CHECK FOR FID, HYDROCARBON RESPONSE2.1. Detectorresponseoptimization
The FID must be adjusted, as specified by the instrument manu-
facturer. Propane in air should be used, to optimize the response,
on the most common operating range.
2.2. CalibrationoftheHCanalyzer
The analyzer should be calibrated using propane in air and puri-
fied synthetic air. See section 4.5.2 of Annex III (calibration and
span gases).
Establisha calibration curve as described in sections 1.1 to 1.5 of
this Appendix.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 96
▼M9
2.3. Responsefactorsofdifferenthydrocarbonsandrecommended
limits
The response factor (Rf) for a particular hydrocarbon species is
the ratio of the FID C1reading to the gas cylinder concentration,
expressed as ppm C1.
The concentration of the test gas must be at a level to give a
response of approximately 80 % of full scale deflection, for the
operating range. The concentration must be known, to an accu-
racy of ± 2 % in reference to a gravimetric standard expressed
in volume. In addition the gas cylinder must be pre-conditioned
for 24 hours at a temperature between 293 and 303 K (20 and
30 ºC).
Response factors are determined when introducing an analyzer
into service and thereafter at major service intervals. The test
gases to be used and the recommended response factor are:
— methane and purified air 1,00 < Rf < 1,15,
or
1,00 < Rf < 1,05
for NG-fuelled
vehicles,
— propylene and purified air 0,90 < Rf < 1,00,
— toluene and purified air 0,90 < Rf < 1,00.
Relative to a response factor (Rf) of 1,00 for propane and purified
air.
2.4. Oxygeninterference checkandrecommendedlimits
The response factor should be determined as described in 2.3.
The test gas to be used and recommended response factor range
are:
— Propane and nitrogen 0,95 ≤Rf≤1,05
3. EFFICIENCY TEST OF THE NOxCONVERTER
The efficiency of the converter used for the conversion of NO2into NO is tested as follows:Using the test set up as shown in Figure III.6.3 and the procedure
described below, the efficiency of converters can be tested by
means of an ozonator.
3.1. Calibrate the CLA in the most common operating range following
the manufacturer's specifications using zero and span gas (the NO
content of which must amount to about 80 % of the operating
range and the NO
2concentration of the gas mixture to less than
5 % of the NO concentration). The NOxanalyzer must be in the
NO mode so that the span gas does not pass through the
converter. Record the indicated concentration.
3.2. Via a T-fitting, oxygen or synthetic air is added continuously to
the gas flow until the concentration indicated is about 10 % less
than the indicated calibration concentration given in 3.1. Record
the indicated concentration (C). The ozonator is kept deactivated
throughout this process.
3.3. The ozonator is now activated to generate enough ozone to bring
the NO concentration down to 20 % (minimum 10 %) of the cali-
bration concentration given in 3.1. Record the indicated
concentration (d).
3.4. The NOxanalyzer is then switched to the NOxmode which means
that the gas mixture (consisting of NO, NO2,O2and N2) now
passes through the converter. Record the indicated concentration
(a).
3.5. The ozonator is now deactivated. The mixture of gases described
in 3.2 passes through the converter into the detector. Record the
indicated concentration (b).1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 97
▼M14
▼M9
▼M9
3.6. With the ozonator deactivated, the flow of oxygen or synthetic air
is also shut off. The NOxreading of the analyzer must then be no
more than 5 % above the figure given in 3.1.
3.7. The efficiency of the NOxconverter is calculated as follows:
Efficiency % ðÞ ¼1þa/C0b
c/C0d/C18/C19
/C1100
Figure III.6.3
DiagramofNOxconverterefficiency device
3.8. The efficiency of the converter must not be less than 95 %.
3.9. The efficiency of the converter must be tested at least once a
week.
4. CALIBRATION OF THE CVS SYSTEM
4.1. The CVS system must be calibrated by using an accurate flow-
meter and a restricting device. The flow through the system
must be measured at various pressure readings and the control
parameters of the system measured and related to the flows.
4.1.1. Various types of flow-meter may be used, e.g. calibrated venturi,
laminar flow-meter, calibrated turbine-meter, provided that they
are dynamic measurement systems and can meet the requirements
of sections 4.2.2 and 4.2.3 of Annex III.
4.1.2. The following sections give details of methods of calibrating PDP
and CFV units, using a laminar flow-meter, which gives the
required accuracy, together with a statistical check on the calibra-
tion validity.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 98
▼M9
4.2. Calibrationofthepositivedisplacementpump(PDP)
4.2.1. The following calibration procedure outlines the equipment, the
test configuration and the various parameters which are measured
to establish the flow-rate of the CVS pump. All the parameters
related to the pumpare simultaneously measured with the para-
meters related to the flow-meter which is connected in series
with the pump. The calculated flow-rate (given in m3/min at
pump inlet, absolute pressure and temperature) can then be
plotted versus a correlation function which is the value of a
specific combination of pump parameters. The linear equation
which relates the pump flow and the correlation function is then
determined. In the event that a CVS has a multiple speed drive, a
calibration for eachrange used must be performed.
4.2.2. This calibration procedure is based on the measurement of the
absolute values of the pump and flow-meter parameters that
relate the flow-rate at each point. Three conditions must be main-
tained to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the calibration
curve.
4.2.2.1. The pump pressures must be measured at tappings on the pump
rather than at the external piping on the pump inlet and outlet.
Pressure taps that are mounted at the top centre and bottom centre
of the pump drive headplate are exposed to the actual pump
cavity pressures, and therefore reflect the absolute pressure differ-
entials.
4.2.2.2. Temperature stability must be maintained during the calibration.
The laminar flow-meter is sensitive to inlet temperature oscilla-
tions which cause the data points to be scattered. Gradual
changes of ± 1 K in temperature are acceptable as long as they
occur over a period of several minutes.
4.2.2.3. All connections between the flow-meter and the CVS pump must
be free of any leakage.
4.2.3. During an exhaust emission test, the measurement of these same
pump parameters enables the user to calculate the flow-rate from
the calibration equation.
4.2.3.1. Figure III.6.4.2.3.1 of this Appendix shows one possible test set-
up. Variations are permissible, provided that they are approved by
the authority granting the approval as being of comparable accu-
racy. If the set-up shown in Figure III.5.3.2 of Appendix 5 is
used, the following data must be found within the limits of preci-
sion given:
barometric pressure (corrected) (PB) ± 0,03 kPa
ambient temperature (T) ± 0,2 Kair temperature at LFE (ETI) ± 0,15 K
pressure depression upstream of LFE
(EPI)± 0,01 kPa

pressure head at CVS pump outlet
(PPO)± 0,22 kPa
pump revolutions during test period
(n)± 1 rev
elapsed time for period (minimum
250 s) (t)± 0,1 s.
4.2.3.2. After the system has been connected as shown in Figure
III.6.4.2.3.1, set the variable restrictor in the wide-open position
and run the CVS pump for 20 minutes before starting the calibra-
tion.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 99
▼M9
4.2.3.3. Reset the restrictor valve to a more restricted condition in an
increment of pump inlet depression (about 1 kPa) that will yield
a minimum of six data points for the total calibration. Allow the
system to stabilize for three minutes and repeat the data acquisi-
tion.
Figure III.6.4.2.3.1
PDP-CVScalibrationconfiguration
4.2.4. Data analysis
4.2.4.1. The air flow-rate (Qs) at eachtest point is calculated in standard
m3/min from the flow-meter data using the manufacturer's
prescribed method.
4.2.4.2. The air flow-rate is then converted to pump flow (Vo)i nm3/rev at
absolute pump inlet temperature and pressure.

Qs= air flow at 101,33 kPa and 273,2 K given in m3/min,
T = pump inlet temperature (K),
Pp= absolute pump inlet pressure,
n = pump speed in revolutions per minute.
To compensate for the interaction of pump speed pressure varia-
tions at the pump and the pump slip rate, the correlation function
(Xo) between the pump speed (n), the pressure differential from
pump inlet to pump outlet and the absolute pump outlet pressure
is then calculated as follows:1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 100

A linear least-square fit is performed to generate the calibration
equations which have the formulae:
Vo=Do−M( Xo)
n=A−B( ∆Pp)
Do, M, A and B are the slope-intercept constants describing the
lines.
4.2.4.3. A CVS system that has multiple speeds must be calibrated on
each speed used. The calibration curves generated for the ranges
must be approximately parallel and the intercept values (Do) must
increase as the pump flow range decreases.
If the calibration has been performed carefully, the calculated
values from the equation will be within ± 0,5 % of the measured
value of Vo. Values of M will vary from one pump to another.
Calibration is performed at pump start-up and after major mainte-
nance.
4.3. Calibrationofthecritical-flow venturi(CFV)
4.3.1. Calibration of the CFV is based upon the flow equation for a
critical venturi:
Qs¼Kv/C1Pﬃﬃﬃ

where:
Qs= flow,
Kv= calibration coefficient,
P = absolute pressure (kPa),
T = absolute temperature (K).
Gas flow is a function of inlet pressure and temperature.The calibration procedure described below establishes the value
of the calibration coefficient at measured values of pressure,
temperature and air flow.
4.3.2. The manufacturer's recommended procedure must be followed for
calibrating electronic portions of the CFV.
4.3.3. Measurements for flow calibration of the critical flow venturi are
required and the following data must be found within the limits
of precision given:
barometric pressure (corrected) (P
B) ± 0,03 kPa,
LFE air temperature, flow-meter
(ETI)± 0,15 K,
pressure depression upstream of LFE

air flow (Qs) ± 0,5 %,

temperature at venturi inlet (Tv) ± 0,2 K.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 101
▼M9
4.3.4. The equipment must be set up as shown in Figure III.6.4.3.4 and
checked for leaks. Any leaks between the flow-measuring device
and the critical-flow venturi seriously affect the accuracy of the
calibration.
Figure III.6.4.3.4
CFV-CVScalibrationconfiguration
4.3.5. The variable-flow restrictor must be set to the open position, the
blower started and the system stabilized. Data from all instru-
ments must be recorded.
4.3.6. The flow restrictor must be varied and at least eight readings
across the critical flow range of the venturi must be made.
4.3.7. The data recorded during the calibration must be used in the
following calculations. The air flow-rate (Qs) at eachtest point
is calculated from the flow-meter data using the manufacturer's
prescribed method.

must be determined by introducing a known mass of a pollutant
gas into the system whilst it is being operated as if during a
normal test and then analyzing and calculating the pollutant
mass according to the formulae in Appendix 8 to this Annexexcept that the density of propane is taken as 1,967 grams per
litre at standard conditions. The following two techniques are
known to give sufficient accuracy.
2. Metering a constant flow of pure gas (CO or C
3H8) using a
critical-flow orifice device
2.1. A known quantity of pure gas (CO or C3H8) is fed into the CVS
system through the calibrated critical orifice. If the inlet pressure
is high enough, the flow-rate (q), which is adjusted by means of
the critical-flow orifice, is independent of orifice outlet pressure
(critical flow). If deviations exceeding 5 % occur, the cause of
the malfunction must be located and determined. The CVS
system is operated as in an exhaust emission test for about 5 to
10 minutes. The gas collected in the sampling bag is analyzed
by the usual equipment and the results compared to the concen-
tration of the gas samples which was known beforehand.
3. Metering a limited quantity of pure gas (CO or C3H8) by means
of a gravimetric technique
3.1. The following gravimetric procedure may be used to verify the
CVS system. The weight of a small cylinder filled with either
carbon monoxide or propane is determined witha precision
of ± 0,01 gram. For about 5 to 10 minutes, the CVS system is
operated as in a normal exhaust emission test, while CO or
propane is injected into the system. The quantity of pure gas
involved is determined by means of differential weighting. The
gas accumulated in the bag is then analyzed by means of the
equipment normally used for exhaust-gas analysis. The results
are then compared to the concentration figures computed
previously.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 104

given in Annex VIII.
2.2. During the test, the environmental temperature must be between
293 and 303 K (20 and 30 ºC).
The engine shall be warmed up until all temperatures of cooling
and lubrication means and the pressure of lubrication means have
reached equilibrium.
2.2.1. Vehicles that are fuelled either with petrol or with LPG or NG
shall be tested with the reference fuel(s) used for the type I test.
2.3. In the case of vehicles with manually operated or semi-automatic-
shift gearboxes the test must be carried out with the gear lever in
the ‘neutral’ position and with the clutch engaged.
2.4. In the case of vehicles with automatic gear-boxes the test is
carried out with the gear selector in either the ‘neutral’ or the
‘parking’ position.
2.5. Componentsforadjustingtheidlingspeed
2.5.1. Definition
For the purposes of this Directive, ‘components for adjusting the
idling speed’ means controls for changing the idling conditions of
the engine which may be easily operated by a mechanic using
only the tools described in 2.5.1.1. In particular, devices for cali-
brating fuel and air flows are not considered as adjustment
components if their setting requires the removal of the set-stops,
an operation which cannot normally be performed except by a
professional mechanic.
2.5.1.1. Tools which may be used to control components for adjusting the
idling speed: screwdrivers (ordinary or cross-headed), spanners
(ring, open-end or adjustable), pliers, Allen keys.
2.5.2. Determination of measurement points
2.5.2.1. A measurement at the setting in accordance with the conditions
fixed by the manufacturer is performed first.
2.5.2.2. For eachadjustment component witha continuous variation, a
sufficient number of characteristic positions are determined.
2.5.2.3. The measurement of the carbon-monoxide content of exhaust
gases must be carried out for all the possible positions of the
adjustment components, but for components witha continuous
variation only the positions defined in 2.5.2.2 are adopted.
2.5.2.4. The type II test is considered satisfactory if at least one of the
two following conditions is met:
2.5.2.4.1. none of the values measured in accordance with 2.5.2.3 exceeds
the limit values;
2.5.2.4.2. the maximum content obtained by continuously varying one of
the adjustment components while the other components are kept
stable does not exceed the limit value, this condition being met
for the various combinations of adjustment components other
than the one which was varied continuously.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 110

▼M9
▼M10
▼M9
▼M9
2.5.2.5. The possible positions of the adjustment components are limited:
2.5.2.5.1. on the one hand, by the larger of the following two values: the
lowest idling speed which the engine can reach; the speed recom-
mended by the manufacturer, minus 100 revolutions per minute;
2.5.2.5.2. on the other hand, by the smallest of the following three values:
the highest speed the engine can attain by activation of the idling
speed components; the speed recommended by the manufacturer,
plus 250 revolutions per minute; the cut-in speed of automatic
clutches.
2.5.2.6. In addition, settings incompatible withcorrect running of th e
engine must not be adopted as measurement settings. In parti-
cular, when the engine is equipped with several carburettors all
the carburettors must have the same setting.
3. SAMPLING OF GASES
3.1. The sampling probe is placed in the pipe connecting the exhaust
with the sampling bag and as close as possible to the exhaust.
3.2. The concentration in CO (CCO) and CO2(CCO2) is determined from
the measuring instrument readings or recordings, by use of appro-
priate calibration curves.
3.3. The corrected concentration for carbon monoxide regarding four-
stroke engines is:
CCOcorr¼CCO15
CCOþCCO2(Vol. %)
3.4. The concentration in CCO(see 3.2) measured according to the
formulae contained in 3.3 need not be corrected if the total of
the concentrations measured (CCO+CCO2) is at least 15 for four-
stroke engines.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 111

ANNEX VI
TYPEIVTEST
THEDETERMINATIONOFEVAPORATIVEEMISSIONSFROMVEHI-
CLESWITHSPARK-IGNITIONENGINES
1. INTRODUCTION
This Annex describes the procedure for the Type IV test in accor-
dance withsection 5.3.4 of Annex I.
This procedure describes a method for a determination of the loss
of hydrocarbons by evaporation from the fuel systems of vehicles
withpositive-ignition engines.
2. DESCRIPTION OF TEST
The evaporative emission test (Figure VI.1) is designed to deter-
mine hydrocarbon evaporative emissions as a consequence of
diurnal temperatures fluctuation, hot soaks during parking, and
urban driving. The test consists of these phases:
— test preparation including an urban (Part One) and extra-urban
(Part Two) driving cycle,
— hot soak loss determination,
— diurnal loss determination.
Mass emissions of hydrocarbons from the hot soak and the
diurnal loss phases are added up to provide an overall result for
the test.
3. VEHICLE AND FUEL3.1. Vehicle
3.1.1. The vehicle must be in good mechanical condition and have been
run in and driven at least 3 000 km before the test. The evapora-
tive emission control system must be connected and have been
functioning correctly over this period and the carbon canister(s)
must have been subject to normal use, neither undergoing
abnormal purging nor abnormal loading.
3.2. Fuel
3.2.1. The appropriate reference fuel must be used, as defined in Annex
IX to this Directive.
4. TEST EQUIPMENT FOR EVAPORATIVE TEST4.1. Chassisdynamometer
The chassis dynamometer must meet the requirements of Annex
III.
4.2. Evaporativeemissionmeasurementenclosure
The evaporative emission measurement enclosure must be a gas-
tight rectangular measuring chamber able to contain the vehicle
under test. The vehicle must be accessible from all sides and the
enclosure when sealed must be gas tight in accordance with
Appendix 1. The inner surface of the enclosure must be imperme-
able and non-reactive to hydrocarbons. The temperature
conditioning system must be capable of controlling the internal
enclosure air temperature to follow the prescribed temperature
versus time profile throughout the test, and an average tolerance
of ± 1 K over the duration of the test.
The control system must be tuned to provide a smooth tempera-
ture pattern that has a minimum of overshoot, hunting, and
instability about the desired long-term ambient temperature
profile. Interior surface temperatures must not be less than
278 ºK (5 ºC) nor more than 320 ºK (55 ºC) at any time during
the diurnal emission test.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 115
▼M15
▼M15
Wall design must be suchas to promote good dissipation of h eat.
Interior surface temperatures must not be below 293 ºK (20 ºC),
nor above 325 ºK (52 ºC) for the duration of the hot soak test.
To accommodate the volume changes due to enclosure tempera-
ture changes, either a variable-volume or fixed-volume enclosure
may be used.
4.2.1. Variable-volume enclosure
The variable-volume enclosure expands and contracts in response
to the temperature change of the air mass in the enclosure. Two
potential means of accommodating the internal volume changes
are movable panel(s), or a bellows design, in which an imperme-
able bag or bags inside the enclosure expand(s) and contracts(s)
in response to internal pressure changes by exchanging air from
outside the enclosure. Any design for volume accommodation
must maintain the integrity of the enclosure as specified in
Appendix 1 over the specified temperature range.
Any method of volume accommodation must limit the differential
between the enclosure internal pressure and the barometric pres-
sure to a maximum value of ± 5 hPa.
The enclosure must be capable of latching to a fixed volume. A
variable volume enclosure must be capable of accommodating a
± 7 % change from its ‘nominal volume’ (see Appendix 1 section
2.1.1), taking into account temperature and barometric pressure
variation during testing.
4.2.2. Fixed-volume enclosure
The fixed-volume enclosure must be constructed with rigid panels
that maintain a fixed enclosure volume, and meet the require-
ments below.
4.2.2.1. The enclosure must be equipped with an outlet flow stream that
withdrawns air at a low, constant rate from the enclosure
throughout the test. An inlet flow stream may provide make-upair to balance the outgoing flow with incoming ambient air. Inlet
air must be filtered withactivated carbon to provide a relatively
constant hydrocarbon level. Any method of volume accommoda-
tion must maintain the differential between the enclosure internal
pressure and the barometric pressure between 0 and −5 hPa.
4.2.2.2. The equipment must be capable of measuring the mass of hydro-
carbon in the inlet and outlet flow streams with a resolution of
0,01 gram. A bag sampling system may be used to collect a
proportional sample of the air withdrawn from and admitted to
the enclosure. Alternatively, the inlet and outlet flow streams
may be continuously analysed using an on-line FID analyser and
integrated withth e flow measurements to provide a continuous
record of the mass hydrocarbon removal.
4.3. Analyticalsystems
4.3.1. Hydrocarbon analyser
4.3.1.1. The atmosphere within the chamber is monitored using a hydro-
carbon detector of the flame ionization detector (FID) type.
Sample gas must be drawn from the mid-point of one side wall
or roof of the chamber and any bypass flow must be returned to
the enclosure, preferably to a point immediately downstream of
the mixing fan.
4.3.1.2. The hydrocarbon analyser must have a response time to 90 % of
final reading of less than 1,5 seconds. Its stability must be better
than 2 % of full scale at zero and at 80 % ± 20 % of full scale
over a 15-minute period for all operational ranges.
4.3.1.3. The repeatability of the analyser expressed as one standard devia-
tion must be better than 1 % of full scale deflection at zero and at
80 % ± 20 % of full scale on all ranges used.
4.3.1.4. The operational ranges of the analyser must be chosen to give
best resolution over the measurement, calibration and leak
checking procedures.
4.3.2. Hydrocarbon analyser data recording system
4.3.2.1. The hydrocarbon analyser must be fitted with a device to record
electrical signal output either by strip chart recorder or other data1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 116
▼M15
processing system at a frequency of at least once per minute. The
recording system must have operating characteristics at least
equivalent to the signal being recorded and must provide a
permanent record of results. The record must show a positive
indication of the beginning and end of the hot soak or diurnal
emission test (including beginning and end of sampling periods
along withth e time elapsed between start and completion of
eachtest).1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 117

4.4. Fuel tank heating (only applicable for gasoline canister load
option)
4.4.1. The fuel in the vehicle tank(s) must be heated by a controllable
source of heat; for example a heating pad of 2 000 W capacity
is suitable. The heating system must apply heat evenly to the
tank walls beneath the level of the fuel so as not to cause local
overheating of the fuel. Heat must not be applied to the vapour
in the tank above the fuel.
4.4.2. The tank heating device must make it possible to heat the fuel in
the tank evenly by 14 ºK from 289 ºK (16 ºC) within 60 minutes,
with the temperature sensor position as in 5.1.1. The heating
system must be capable of controlling the fuel temperature to
± 1,5 ºK of the required temperature during the tank heating
process.
4.5. Temperaturerecording
4.5.1. The temperature in the chamber is recorded at two points by
temperature sensors which are connected so as to show a mean
value. The measuring points are extended approximately 0,1 m
into the enclosure from the vertical centre line of each side wall
at a height of 0,9 ± 0,2 m.
4.5.2. The temperatures of the fuel tank(s) are recorded by means of the
sensor positioned in the fuel tank as in 5.1.1 in the case of use of
the gasoline canister load option (5.1.5).
4.5.3. Temperatures must, throughout the evaporative emission
measurements, be recorded or entered into a data processing
system at a frequency of at least once per minute.
4.5.4. The accuracy of the temperature recording system must be within
± 1,0 ºK and the temperature must be capable of being resolved
to ± 04, ºK.
4.5.5. The recording or data processing system must be capable of
resolving time to ± 15 seconds.
4.6. Pressurerecording
4.6.1. The difference ∆pbetween barometric pressure within the test
area and the enclosure internal pressure must, throughout the
evaporative emission measurements, be recorded or entered into
a data processing system at a frequency of at least once per

4.7.1. By the use of one or more fans or blowers with the SHED door(s)
open it must be possible to reduce the hydrocarbon concentration
in the chamber to the ambient hydrocarbon level.
4.7.2. The chamber must have one or more fans or blowers of likely
capacity 0,1 to 0,5 m3s−1with which to thoroughly mix the atmo-
sphere in the enclosure. It must be possible to attain an even
temperature and hydrocarbon concentration in the chamber during
measurements. The vehicle in the enclosure must not be subjected
to a direct stream of air from the fans or blowers.
4.8. Gases
4.8.1. The following pure gases must be available for calibration and
operation:
— purified synthetic air (purity: < 1 ppm C1equivalent ≤1 ppm

— hydrocarbon analyser fuel gas (40 % ± 2 % hydrogen, and
balance helium with less than 1 ppm C1equivalent hydro-
carbon, less than 400 ppm CO2),
— propane (C3H8), 99,5 % minimum purity,1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 119

a gas divider using synthetic air as the diluent gas.
4.9. Additionalequipment
4.9.1. The absolute humidity in the tests area must be measurable to
within ± 5 %.
5. TEST PROCEDURE
5.1. Testpreparation
5.1.1. The vehicle is mechanically prepared before the test as follows:
— the exhaust system of the vehicle must not exhibit any leaks,
— the vehicle may be steam cleaned before the test,
— in the case of use of the gasoline canister load option (5.1.5)
the fuel tank of the vehicle must be equipped with a tempera-
ture sensor to enable the temperature to be measured at the
mid-point of the fuel in the fuel tank when filled to 40 % of
its capacity,
— additional fittings, adapters of devices may be fitted to the
fuel system in order to allow a complete draining of the fuel
tank. For this purpose it is not necessary to modify the shell
of the tank,
— the manufacturer may propose a test method in order to take
into account the loss of hydrocarbons by evaporation coming
only from the fuel system of the vehicle.
5.1.2. The vehicle is taken into the test area where the ambient tempera-
ture is between 293 ºK and 303 ºK (20 and 30 ºC).
5.1.3. The ageing of the canister(s) has to be verified. This may be done
by demonstrating that it has accumulated a minimum of 3 000 km.
If this demonstration is not given, the following procedure isused. In the case of a multiple canister system each canister
must undergo the procedure separately.
5.1.3.1. The canister is removed from the vehicle. Special care must be
taken during this step to avoid damage to components and the
integrity of the fuel system.
5.1.3.2. The weight of the canister must be checked.
5.1.3.3. The canister is connected to a fuel tank, possibly an external one,
filled withreference fuel, to 40 % volume of th e fuel tank(s).
5.1.3.4. The fuel temperature in the fuel tank must be between 283 ºK
(10 ºC) and 287 ºK (14 ºC).
5.1.3.5. The (external) fuel tank is heated from 288 ºK to 318 ºK (15 º to
45 ºC) (1 ºC increase every 9 minutes).
5.1.3.6. If the canister reaches breakthrough before the temperature
reaches 318 ºK (45 ºC), the heat source must be turned off.
Then the canister is weighed. If the canister did not reach break-
through during the heating to 318 ºK (45º ºC), the procedure from
5.1.3.3 must be repeated until breakthrough occurs.
5.1.3.7. Breakthrough may be checked as is described in 5.1.5 and 5.1.6
of this Annex, or with the use of another sampling and analytical
arrangement capable of detecting the emission of hydrocarbons
from the canister at breakthrough.
5.1.3.8. The canister must be purged with 25 ± 5 litres per minute with
the emission laboratory air until 300 bed volume exchanges are
reached.
5.1.3.9. The weight of the canister must be checked.
5.1.3.10. The steps of the procedure in 5.1.3.4 to 5.1.3.9 must be repeated
nine times. The test may be terminated prior to that, after not less1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 120
▼M15
than three ageing cycles, if the weight of the canister after the last
cycles has stabilized.
5.1.3.11. The evaporative emission canister is reconnected and the vehicle
restored to its normal operating condition.
5.1.4. One of the methods specified in 5.1.5 and 5.1.6 must be used to
precondition the evaporative canister. For vehicles with multiple
canisters, eachcanister must be preconditioned separately.
5.1.4.1. Canister emissions are measured to determine breakthrough.
Breakthrough is here defined as the point at which the cumulative
quantity of hydrocarbons emitted is equal to 2 grams.
5.1.4.2. Breakthrough may be verified using the evaporative emission
enclosure as described in 5.1.5 and 5.1.6 respectively. Alterna-
tively, breakthrough may be determined using an auxiliary
evaporative canister connected downstream of the vehicle's
canister. The auxiliary canister must be well purged with dry air
prior to loading.
5.1.4.3. The measuring chamber must be purged for several minutes
immediately before the test until a stable background is obtained.
The chamber air mixing fan(s) must be switched on at this time.
The hydrocarbon analyser must be zeroed and spanned immedi-
ately before the test.
5.1.5. Canister loading with repeated heat builds to breakthrough
5.1.5.1. The fuel tank(s) of the vehicle(s) is (are) emptied using the fuel
tank drain(s). This must be done so as not to abnormally purge or
abnormally load the evaporative control devices fitted to the
vehicle. Removal of the fuel cap is normally sufficient to achieve
this.
5.1.5.2. The fuel tank(s) is (are) refilled with test fuel at a temperature of
between 283 ºK to 287 ºK (10 to 14 ºC) to 40 % ± 2 % of the
tank's normal volumetric capacity. The fuel cap(s) of the vehicle
must be fitted at this point.
5.1.5.3. Within one hour of being refuelled the vehicle must be placed,
with the engine shut off, in the evaporative emission enclosure.
The fuel tank temperature sensor is connected to the temperature
recording system. A heat source must be properly positioned with
respect to the fuel tank(s) and connected to the temperature
controller. The heat source is specified in 4.4. In the case of vehi-
cles fitted with more than one fuel tank, all the tanks must be
heated in the same way as described below. The temperatures of
the tanks must be identical to within ± 1,5 ºK.
5.1.5.4. The fuel may be artificially heated to the starting diurnal
temperature of 293 ºK (20 ºC) ± 1 ºK.
5.1.5.5. When the fuel temperature reaches at last 292 ºK (19 ºC), the
following steps must be taken immediately: the purge blower
must be turned off; enclosure doors closed and sealed; and
measurement initiated of the hydrocarbon level in the enclosure.
5.1.5.6. When the fuel temperature of the fuel tank reaches 293 ºK (20 ºC)
a linear heat build of 15 ºK (15 ºC) begins. The fuel must be
heated in such a way that the temperature of the fuel during the
heating conforms to the function below to within ± 1,5 ºK. The
elapsed time of the heat build and temperature rise is recorded.
Tr=T0+ 0,2333 × t
where:T
r= required temperature (K);
To= initial temperature (K);
t = time from start of the tank heat build in minutes.
5.1.5.7. As soon as breakthrough occurs or when the fuel temperature
reaches 308 ºK (35 ºC), whichever occurs first, the heat source
is turned off, the enclosure doors unsealed and opened, and the
vehicle fuel tank cap(s) removed. If breakthrough has not
occurred by the time the fuel temperature 308 ºK (35 ºC), the
heat source is removed from the vehicle, the vehicle removed
from the evaporative emission enclosure and the entire procedure
outlined in 5.1.7 repeated until breakthrough occurs.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 121
▼M15
5.1.6. Butane loading to breakthrough
5.1.6.1. If the enclosure is used for the determination of the breakthrough
(see 5.1.4.2) the vehicle must be placed, with the engine shut off,
in the evaporative emission enclosure.
5.1.6.2. The evaporative emission canister must be prepared for the
canister loading operation. The canister must not be removed
from the vehicle, unless access to it in its normal location is so
restricted that loading can only reasonably be accomplished by
removing the canister from the vehicle. Special care must be
taken during this step to avoid damage to the components and
the integrity of the fuel system.
5.1.6.3. The canister is loaded with a mixture composed of 50 % butane
and 50 % nitrogen by volume at a rate of 40 grams butane per
hour.
5.1.6.4. As soon as the canister reaches breakthrough, the vapour source
must be shut off.
5.1.6.5. The evaporative emission canister must then be reconnected and
the vehicle restored to its normal operating condition.
5.1.7. Fuel drain and refill
5.1.7.1. The fuel tank(s) of the vehicle(s) is (are) emptied using the fuel
tank drain(s). This must be done so as not to abnormally purge or
abnormally load the evaporative control devices fitted to the
vehicle. Removal of the fuel cap is normally sufficient to achieve
this.
5.1.7.2. The fuel tank(s) is (are) refilled with test fuel at a temperature of
between 291 ºK ± 8 ºK (18 ± 8 ºC) to 40 ± 2 % of the tank's
normal volumetric capacity. The fuel cap(s) of the vehicle must
be fitted at this point.
5.2. Preconditioningdrive
5.2.1. Within one hour from the completing of canister loading in
accordance with 5.1.5 or 5.1.6 the vehicle is placed on the chassis
dynamometer and driven through one Part One and two Part Two
driving cycles of Type I test as specified in Annex III. Exhaust
emissions are not sampled during this operation.
5.3. Soak
5.3.1. Within five minutes of completing the preconditioning operation
specified in 5.2.1 the engine bonnet must be completely closed
and the vehicle driven off the chassis dynamometer and parked
in the soak area. The vehicle is parked for a minimum of 12
hours and a maximum of 36 hours. The engine oil and coolant
temperatures must have reached the temperature of the area or
within ± 3 ºK of it at the end of the period.
5.4. Dynamometertest
5.4.1. After conclusion of the soak period the vehicle is driven through
a complete Type I test drive as described in Annex III (cold start
urban and extra urban test). Then the engine is shut off. Exhaust
emissions may be sampled during this operation but the results
must not be used for the purpose of exhaust emission type-
approval.
5.4.2. Within two minutes of completing the Type I test drive specified
in 5.4.1 the vehicle is driven a further conditioning drive
consisting of one urban test cycle (hot start) of a Type I test.
Then the engine is shut off again. Exhaust emissions need not
be sampled during this operation.
5.5. Hotsoakevaporativeemissionstest
5.5.1. Before the completion of the conditioning drive the measuring
chamber must be purged for several minutes until a stable hydro-
carbon background is obtained. The enclosure mixing fan(s) must
also be turned on at this time.
5.5.2. The hydrocarbon analyser must be zeroed and spanned immedi-
ately prior to the test.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 122
▼M15
5.5.3. At the end of the conditioning drive the engine bonnet must be
completely closed and all connections between the vehicle and
the test stand disconnected. The vehicle is then driven to the
measuring chamber with a minimum use of the accelerator pedal.
The engine must be turned off before any part of the vehicle
enters the measuring chamber. The time at which the engine is
switched off is recorded on the evaporative emission measure-
ment data recording system and temperature recording begins.
The vehicle's windows and luggage compartments must be
opened at this stage, if not already opened.
5.5.4. The vehicle must be pushed or otherwise moved into the
measuring chamber with the engine switched off.
5.5.5. The enclosure doors are closed and sealed gas-tight within two
minutes of the engine being switched off and within seven
minutes of the end of the conditioning drive.
5.5.6. The start of a 60 ± 0,5 minute hot soak period begins when the
chamber is sealed. The hydrocarbon concentration, temperature
and barometric pressure are measured to give the initial readings
CHC,iPiand Tifor the hot soak test. These figures are used in the
evaporative emission calculation, section 6. The ambient SHED
temperature T must not be less than 296 ºK and no more than
304 ºK during the 60-minute hot soak period.
5.5.7. The hydrocarbon analyser must be zeroed and spanned immedi-
ately before the end of the 60 ± 0,5 minute test period.
5.5.8. At the end of the 60 ± 0,5 minute test period the hydrocarbon
concentration in the chamber must be measured. The temperature
and the barometric pressure are also measured. These are the final
readings CHC,f,Pfand Tffor the hot soak test used for the calcula-
tion in section 6.
5.6. Soak
5.6.1. The test vehicle must be pushed or otherwise moved to the soak
area without use of the engine and soaked for not less than 6
hours and not more than 36 hours between the end of the hot
soak test and the start of the diurnal emission test. For at least 6
hours of this period the vehicle must be soaked at 293 ºK ± 2 ºK
(20 ºC ± 2 ºC).
5.7. Diurnaltest
5.7.1. The test vehicle must be exposed to one cycle of ambient
temperature according to the profile specified in Appendix 2
witha maximum deviation of ± 2 ºK at any time. Th e average
temperature deviation from the profile, calculated using the abso-
lute value of eachmeasured deviation, must not exceed 1 ºK.
Ambient temperature must be measured at least every minute.
Temperature cycling begins when time tstart= 0, as specified in
5.7.6.
5.7.2. The measuring chamber must be purged for several minutes
immediately before the test until a stable background is obtain-
able. The chamber mixing fan(s) must also be switched on at
this time.
5.7.3. The test vehicle, with the engine shut off and the test vehicle
windows and luggage compartment(s) opened must be moved
into the measuring chamber. The mixing fan(s) must be adjusted
in sucha way as to maintain a minimum air circulation of 8 km/h
under the fuel tank of the test vehicle.
5.7.4. The hydrocarbon analyser must be zeroed and spanned immedi-
ately before the test.
5.7.5. The enclosure doors must be closed and gas-tight sealed.5.7.6. Within 10 minutes of closing and sealing the doors, the hydro-
carbon concentration, temperature and barometric pressure are
measured to give the initial readings C
HC,i,Pfand Tffor the
diurnal test. This is the point where time tStart=0 .
5.7.7. The hydrocarbon analyser must be zeroed and spanned immedi-
ately before the end of the test.
5.7.8. The end of the emission sampling period occurs 24 hours ± 6
minutes after the beginning of the initial sampling, as specified1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 123
▼M15
in 5.7.6. The time elapsed is recorded. The hydrocarbon concen-
tration, temperature and barometric pressure are measured to give
the final readings CHC,i,Pfand Tffor the diurnal test used for the
calculation in section 6. This completes the evaporative emission
test procedure.
6. CALCULATION
6.1. The evaporative emission tests described in section 5 allow the
hydrocarbon emissions from the diurnal and hot soak phases to
be calculated. Evaporative losses from each of theses phases is
calculated using the initial and final hydrocarbon concentrations,
temperatures and pressures in the enclosure, together with the net
enclosure volume.
The formula below is used:
MHC¼k/C1V/C110/C04/C1CHC ;f/C1Pf
Tf/C0CHC ;i/C1Pi
Ti/C18/C19
þMHC ;out/C0MHC ;i
where:
MHC= hydrocarbon mass in grams
MHC,out= mass of hydrocarbon exiting the enclosure, in the
case of fixed-volume enclosures for diurnal emis-
sion testing (grams).
MHC,i= mass of hydrocarbon entering the enclosure, in the
case of fixed-volume enclosures for diurnal emis-
sion testing (grams).
CHC= measured hydrocarbon concentration in the enclo-
sure (ppm (volume) C1equivalent),
V = net enclosure volume in cubic metres corrected for
the volume of the vehicle, with the windows and
the luggage compartment open. If the volume of
the vehicle is not determined a volume of 1,42 m3
is subtracted.
T = ambient chamber temperature, in ºK,
P = barometric pressure in kPA,
H/C = hydrogen to carbon ration,
k = 1,2 · (12 + H/C);
where:i is the initial reading,
f is the final reading,
H/C is taken to be 2,33 for diurnal test losses,
H/C is taken to be 2,20 for hot soak losses.
6.2. Overall resultsoftest
The overall hydrocarbon mass emission for the vehicle is taken to
be:
M
total=MDI+MHS
where:M
total= overall mass emissions of the vehicle (grams),
MDI= hydrocarbon mass emission for diurnal test (grams),
MHS= hydrocarbon mass emission for the hot soak (grams).

7.4. Purgetest
7.4.1. Equipment capable of detecting an airflow rate of 1,0 litres in one

Appendix 1
CALIBRATION OF EQUIPMENT FOR EVAPORATIVE EMISSION
TESTING
1. CALIBRATION FREQUENCY AND METHODS
1.1. All equipment must be calibrated before its initial use and then
calibrated as often as necessary and in any case in the month
before type-approval testing. The calibration methods to besued
are described in this Appendix.
1.2. Normally the series of temperatures which are mentioned firstly
must be used. The series of temperatures within square brackets
may alternatively be used.
2. CALIBRATION OF THE ENCLOSURE
2.1. Initialdeterminationofenclosureinternalvolume
2.1.1. Before its initial use, the internal volume of the chamber must be
determined as follows. The internal dimensions of the chamber
are carefully measured, allowing for any irregularities suchas
bracing struts. The internal volume of the chamber is determined
from these measurements.
For variable-volume enclosures, the enclosure must be latched to
a fixed volume when the enclosure is held at an ambient tempera-
ture of 303 ºK (30 ºC) [(302 ºK (29 ºC)]. This nominal volume
must be repeatable within ± 0,5 % of the reported value.
2.1.2. The net internal volume is determined by subtracting 1,42 m3
from the internal volume of the chamber. Alternatively the
volume of the test vehicle with the luggage compartment and
windows open may be used instead of the 1,42 m3.
2.1.3. The chamber must be checked as in 2.3. If the propane mass does
not agree with the injected mass to within ± 2 % then corrective
action is required.
2.2. Determinationofchamberbackgroundemissions
This operation determines that the chamber does not contain any
materials that emit significant amounts of hydrocarbons. The
check must be carried out at the enclosure's introduction to
service, after any operations in the enclosure which may affect
background emissions and at a frequency of at least once per
year.
2.2.1. Variable-volume enclosures may be operated in either latched or
unlatched volume configuration, as described in 2.1.1 Ambient
temperatures must be maintained at 308 ºK ± 2 ºK (35º ± 2 ºC)
[309 ºK ± 2 ºK (36º ± 2 ºC)], throughout the 4-hour period
mentioned below.
2.2.2. Fixed volume enclosures must be operated withinlet and outlet
flow streams closed. Ambient temperatures must be maintained
at 308 ºK ± 2 ºK (35º ± 2 ºC) [309 ºK ± 2 ºK (36º ± 2 ºC)]
throughout the four-hour period mentioned below.
2.2.3. The enclosure may be sealed and the mixing fan operated for a
period of up to 12 hours before the four-hour background
sampling period begins.
2.2.4. The analyser (if required) must be calibrated, then zeroed and
spanned.
2.2.5. The enclosure must be purged until a stable hydrocarbon reading
is obtained, and the mixing fan turned on if not already on.
2.2.6. The chamber is then sealed and the background hydrocarbon
concentration, temperature and barometric pressure are measured.
These are the initial readings CHC,i,Piand Tiused in the enclosure
background calculation.
2.2.7. The enclosure is allowed to stand undisturbed with the mixing fan
on for a period of four hours.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 127
▼M15
▼M15
2.2.8. At the end of this time the same analyser is used to measure the
hydrocarbon concentration in the chamber. The temperature and
the barometric pressure are also measured. These are the final
readings CHC,f,Pfand Tf.
2.2.9. The change in mass of hydrocarbons in the enclosure must be
calculated over the time of the test in accordance with 2.4 and
must not exceed 0,05 g.
2.3. Calibrationandhydrocarbonretentiontestofthechamber
The calibration and hydrocarbon retention test in the chamber
provides a check on the calculated volume in 2.1 and also
measures any leak rate. The enclosure leak rate must be deter-
mined at the enclosure's introduction to service, after any
operations in the enclosure which may affect the integrity of the
enclosure, and at least monthly thereafter. If six consecutive
monthly retention checks are successfully completed without
corrective action, the enclosure leak rate may be determined quar-
terly thereafter as long as no corrective action is required.
2.3.1. The enclosure must be purged until a stable hydrocarbon concen-
tration is reached. The mixing fan is turned on, if not already
switched on. The hydrocarbon analyser is zeroed, calibrated if
required, and spanned.
2.3.2. On variable-volume enclosures the enclosure must be latched to
the nominal volume position. On fixed-volume enclosures the
outlet and inlet flow streams must be closed.
2.3.3. The ambient temperature control system is then turned on (if not
already on) and adjusted for an initial temperature of 308 ºK
(35 ºC) [309 ºK (36 ºC)].
2.3.4. When the enclosure stabilizes at 308 ºK ± 2 ºK (35º ± 2 ºC)
[309 ºK ± 2 ºK (36º ± 2 ºC)], the enclosure is sealed and the
background concentration, temperature and barometric pressure
measured. These are the initial readings CHC,i,Piand Tiused in
the enclosure calibration.
2.3.5. A quantity of approximately 4 grams of propane is injected into
the enclosure. The mass of propane must be measured to an accu-
racy and precision of ± 02, % of the measured value.
2.3.6. The contents of the chamber must be allowed to mix for five
minutes and then the hydrocarbon concentration, temperature
and barometric pressure are measured. These are the final read-
ings CHC,f,Pfand Tffor the calibration of the enclosure as well
as the initial readings CHC,i,Piand Tifor the retention check.
2.3.7. On the basis of the readings taken in 2.3.4 and 2.3.6 and the
formula in 2.4, the mass of propane in the enclosure is calculated.
This must be within ± 2 % of the mass of propane measured in
2.3.5..
2.3.8. For variable-volume enclosures the enclosure must be unlatched
from the nominal volume configuration. For fixed-volume enclo-
sures, the outlet and inlet flow streams must be opened.
2.3.9. The process is then begun of cycling the ambient temperature
from 308 ºK (35 ºC) to 293 ºK (20 ºC) and back to 308 ºK
(35 ºC) [308,6 ºK (35,6 ºC) to 295,2 ºK (22,2 ºC) and back to
308,6 ºK (35,6 ºC)] over a 24-hour period according to the profile
[alternative profile] specified in Appendix 2 within 15 minutes of
sealing the enclosure. (Tolerances as specified in section 5.7.1 of
Annex VI).
2.3.10. At the completion of the 24-hour cycling period, the final hydro-
carbon concentration, temperature and barometric pressure are
measured and recorded. These are the final readings CHC,f,Tfand
Pffor the hydrocarbon retention check.
2.3.11. Using the formula in 2.4, the hydrocarbon mass is then calculated
from the readings taken in 2.3.10 and 2.3.6. The mass may not
differ by more than 3 % from the hydrocarbon mass given by
2.3.7.
2.4. Calculations
The calculation of net hydrocarbon mass change within the enclo-
sure is used to determine the chamber's hydrocarbon background1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 128

and leak rate. Initial and final readings of hydrocarbon concentra-
tion, temperature and barometric pressure are used in the
following formula to calculate the mass change.

3. CHECKING OF FID HYDROCARBON ANALYZER
3.1. Detectorresponseoptimization
The FID must be adjusted as specified by the instrument manu-
facturer. Propane in air should be used to optimize the response
on the most common operating range.
3.2. CalibrationoftheHCanalyzer
The analyzer should be calibrated using propane in air and puri-
fied synthetic air. See section 4.5.2 of Annex III (Calibration and
span gases).
Establisha calibration curve as described in sections 4.1 to 4.5 of
this Appendix.
3.3. Oxygeninterference checkandrecommendedlimits
The response factor (Rf) for a particular hydrocarbon species is
the ratio of the FID C
1reading to the gas cylinder concentration,
expressed as ppm C1.
The concentration of the test gas must be at a level to give a
response of approximately 80 % of full scale deflection, for the
operating range. The concentration must be known, to an accu-
racy of ± 2 % in reference to a gravimetric standard expressed
in volume. In addition the gas cylinder must be preconditioned
for 24 hours at a temperature between 293 K and 303 K (20 º
and 30 ºC).
Response factors should be determined when introducing an
analyzer into service and thereafter at major service intervals.
The reference gas to be used is propane with balance purified
air which is taken to give a response factor of 1,00.
The test gas to be used for oxygen interference and the recom-
mended response factor range are given below:

4. CALIBRATION OF THE HYDROCARBON ANALYZER
Each of the normally used operating ranges are calibrated by the
following procedure:
4.1. Establishth e calibration curve by at least five calibration points
spaced as evenly as possible over the operating range. Thenominal concentration of the calibration gas with the highest
concentrations to be at least 80 % of the full scale.
4.2. Calculate the calibration curve by the method of least squares. If
the resulting polynominal degree is greater than 3, then the
number of calibration points must be at least the number of the
polynominal degree plus 2.
4.3. The calibration curve must not differ by more than 2 % from the
nominal value of eachcalibration gas.
4.4. Using the coefficients of the polynominal derived from 3.2, a
table of indicated reading against true concentration shall be
drawn up in steps of no greater than 1 % of full scale. This is to
be carried out for each analyzer range calibrated. The table shall
also contain other relevant data such as:
date of calibration,
span and zero potentiometer readings (where applicable),nominal scale,
reference data of eachcalibration gas used,
the actual and indicated value of each calibration gas used
together with the percentage differences,
FID fuel and type,
FID air pressure.
4.5. If it can be shown to the satisfaction of the Regulatory Agency
that alternative technology (e.g. computer, electronically
controlled range switch) can give equivalent accuracy, then those
alternatives may be used.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 130

3. TEST SEQUENCE AND FUEL
3.1. General requirements
3.1.1. The test sequence in Figure VII.1 shows the steps encountered as
the test vehicle undergoes the procedures for the Type VI test.
Ambient temperature levels encountered by the test vehicle must
average: 266 ºK (−7 ºC) ± 3 ºK and must:
not be less than 260 ºK (−13 ºC), no more than 272 ºK (−1 ºC).
The temperature may:not fall below 263 ºK (−10 ºC), or exceed 269 ºK (−4 ºC)
for more than three consecutive minutes.
3.1.2. The test cell temperature monitored during testing must be
measured at the output of the cooling fan (section 5.2.1 of this
Annex). The ambient temperature reported must be an arithmetic
average of the test cell temperatures measured at constant inter-
vals no more than one minute apart.

▼M15
3.4. Testfuel
3.4.1. The test fuel must comply with the specifications given in
section C of Annex IX.
4. VEHICLE PRECONDITIONING
4.1. Summary
4.1.1. To ensure reproducible emission tests, the test vehicles must be
conditioned in a uniform manner. The conditioning consists of a
preparatory drive on a chassis dynamometer followed by a soak
period before the emission test according to 4.3.
4.2. Preconditioning
4.2.1. The fuel tank(s) must be filled with the specified test fuel. If the
existing fuel in the fuel tank(s) does not meet the specifications
contained in 3.4.1, the existing fuel must be drained prior to the
fuel fill. The test fuel must be at a temperature less than or equal
to 289 ºK (+ 16 ºC). For the above operations the evaporative
emission control system must neither be abnormally purged nor
abnormally loaded.
4.2.2. The vehicle is moved to the test cell and placed on the chassis
dynamometer.
4.2.3. The preconditioning consists of the driving cycle according to
Annex III — Appendix 1 Figure III.1.1, parts one and two. At
the request of the manufacturer, vehicles with a positive-ignition
engine may be preconditioned withone Part I and two Part II
driving cycles.
4.2.4. During the preconditioning the test cell temperature must remain
relatively constant and not be higher than 303 ºK (30 ºC).
4.2.5. The drive-wheel tyre pressure must be set in accordance with the
provisions of section 5.3.2 of Annex III.
4.2.6. Within ten minutes of completion of the preconditioning, the
engine must be switched off.
4.2.7. If requested by the manufacturer and approved by the technical
service, additional preconditioning may in exceptional cases be
allowed. The technical service may also choose to conduct addi-
tional preconditioning. The additional preconditioning consists of
one or more driving schedules of the part one cycle as described
in Annex III — Appendix 1. The extent of such additional
preconditioning must be recorded in the test report.
4.3. Soakmethods
4.3.1. One of the following two methods, to be selected by the manu-
facturer, must be utilized to stabilize the vehicle before the
emission test.
4.3.2. Standard method . The vehicle is stored for not less than 12 hours
nor for more than 36 hours prior to the low ambient temperature
tailpipe emission test. The ambient temperature (dry bulb) during
this period must be maintained at an average termperature of:
266 ºK (−7 ºC) ± 3 ºK during each hour of this period and must
not be less than 260 ºK (−13 ºC) nor more than 272 (−1 ºC). In
addition, the temperature may not fall below 263 ºK (−10 ºC) nor
more than 269 ºK (−4 ºC) for more than three consecutive
minutes.
4.3.3. Forced method ►M18 ◄. The vehicle must be
stored for not more than 36 hours prior to the low ambient
temperature tailpipe emission test.
4.3.3.1. The vehicle must not be stored at ambient temperatures which
exceed 303 ºK (30 ºC) during this period.
4.3.3.2. Vehicle cooling may be accomplished by force-cooling the
vehicle to the test temperature. If cooling is augmented by fans,
the fans must be placed in a vertical position so that the
maximum cooling of the drive train and engine is achieved and1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 135
▼M19
▼M15
▼M15
not primarily the sump. Fans must not be placed under the
vehicle.
4.3.3.3. The ambient temperature need only be stringently controlled after
the vehicle has been cooled to:
266 ºK (−7 ºC) ± 2 ºK,as determined by a representative bulk oil temperature. A repre-
sentative bulk oil temperature is the temperature of the oil
measured near the middle of the oil, not at the surface or at the
bottom of the oil sump. If tow or more diverse locations in the oil
are monitored, they must all meet the temperature requirements.
4.3.3.4. The vehicle must be stored for at least one hour after is has been
cooled to 266 ºK (−7 ºC) ± 2 ºK, prior to the low ambient
temperature tailpipe emission test. The ambient temperature (dry
bulb) during this period must average 266 ºK (−7 ºC) ± 3 ºK, and
must:
not be less than 260 ºK (−13 ºC) nor more than 272 ºK (−1 ºC),In addition, the temperature may:not fall below 263 ºK (−10 ºC) or exceed 269 ºK (−4 ºC),for more than three consecutive minutes.
4.3.4. If the vehicle is stabilized at 266 ºK (−7 ºC), in a separate area
and is moved through a warm area to the test cell, the vehicle
must be restabilized in the test cell for at least six times the
period the vehicle is exposed to warmer temperatures. The
ambient temperature (dry bulb) during this period
must average 266 ºK (−7 ºC) ± 3 ºK and must not be less than
260 ºK (−13 ºC) nor more than 272 ºK (−1 ºC).
In addition, the temperature may:
not fall below 263 ºK (−10 ºC) or exceed 269 ºK (−4 ºC), for
more than three consecutive minutes.
5. DYNAMOMETER PROCEDURE
5.1. Summary
5.1.1. The emission sampling is performed over a test procedure
consisting of the part one cycle (Annex III — Appendix 1 Figure
III.1.1). Engine start-up, immediate sampling, operation over the
part one cycle and engine shut-down make a complete low
ambient temperature test, witha total test time of 780 seconds.
The tailpipe emissions are diluted with ambient air and a continu-
ously proportional sample is collected for analysis. The exhaust
gases collected in the bag are analysed for hydrocarbons, carbon
monoxide, and carbon dioxide. A parallel sample of the dilution
air is similarly analysed for carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and
carbon dioxide.
5.2. Dynamometeroperation
5.2.1. Cooling fan
5.2.1.1. A cooling fan is positioned so that cooling air is appropriately
directed to the radiator (water cooling) or to the air intake (air-
cooling) and to the vehicle.
5.2.1.2. For front-engined vehicles, the fan must be positioned in front of
the vehicle, within 300 mm of it. In the case of rear-engined
vehicles or if the above arrangement is impractical, the cooling
fan must be positioned so that sufficient air is supplied to cool
the vehicle.
5.2.1.3. The fan speed must be such that, within the operating range of
10 km/h to at least 50 km/h, the linear velocity of the air at the
blower outlet is within ± 5 km/h of the corresponding roller
speed. The final selection of the blower must have the following
characteristics:
— area: at least 0,2 m
2,
— height of the lower edge above ground: approximately 20 cm.
As an alternative the blower speed must be at least 6 m/s
(21,6 km/h). At the request of the manufacturer, for special vehi-1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 136
▼M15
cles (e. g. vans, off-road) the height of the cooling fan may be
modified.
5.2.1.4. The vehicle speed as measured from the dynamometer roll(s)
must be used (section 4.1.4.4 of Annex III).
5.2.3. Preliminary testing cycles may be carried out if necessary, to
determine how best to actuate the accelerator and brake controls
so as to achieve a cycle approximating to the theoretical cycle
within the prescribed limits, or to permit sampling system adjust-
ment. Suchdriving must be carried out before ‘START’
according to Figure VII.1.
5.2.4. Humidity in the air must be kept low enough to prevent conden-
sation on the dynamometer roll(s).
5.2.5. The dynamometer must be thoroughly warmed as recommended
by the dynamometer manufacturer, and using procedures or
control methods that assure stability of the residual frictional
horsepower.
5.2.6. The time between dynamometer warming and the start of the
emission test must be no longer than 10 minutes if the dynam-
ometer bearings are not independently heated. If the
dynamometer bearings are independently heated, the emission
test must begin no longer than 20 minutes after dynamometer
warming.
5.2.7. If the dynamometer horsepower must be adjusted manually, it
must be set within one hour prior to the tailpipe emission test
phase. The test vehicle may not be used to make the adjustment.
The dynamometer, using automatic control of preselectable power
settings, may be set at any time prior to the beginning of the
emission test.
5.2.8. Before the emission test driving schedule may begin, the test cell
temperature must be 266 ºK (−7 ºC) ± 2 ºK, as measured in the
air stream of the cooling fan with a maximum distance of 1 m-
1,5 m from the vehicle.
5.2.9. During operation of the vehicle the heating and defrosting devices
must be shut off.
5.2.10. The total driving distance or roller revolutions measured are
recorded.
5.2.11. A four-wheel drive vehicle must be tested in a two-wheel drive
mode of operation. The determination of the total road force for
dynamometer setting is performed while operating the vehicle in
its primary designed driving mode.
5.3. Performing thetest
5.3.1. The provisions of sections 6.2 to 6.6, excluding 6.2.2, of Annex
III apply in respect of starting the engine, carrying out the testand taking the emission samples. The sampling begins before or
at the initiation of the engine start-up procedure and ends on
conclusion of the final idling period of the last elementary cycle
of the part one (urban driving cycle), after 780 seconds.
The first driving cycle starts with a period of 11 seconds idling as
soon as the engine has started.
5.3.2. For the analysis of the sampled emissions the provisions of
section 7.2 of Annex III apply. In performing the exhaust sample
analysis the technical service must exercise care to prevent
condensation of water vapour in the exhaust gas sampling bags.
5.3.3. For the calculations of the mass emissions the provisions of
section 8 of Annex III apply.
6. OTHER REQUIREMENTS
6.1. Irrationalemissioncontrolstrategy
6.1.1. Any irrational emission control strategy which results in a reduc-
tion in effectiveness of the emission control system under normal
operating conditions at low temperature driving, so far as not
covered by the standardized emission tests, may be considered a
defeat device.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 137

Description of the ageing test for verifying the durability of anti-pollution
devices
1. INTRODUCTION
This Annex described the test for verifying the durability of anti-pollution
devices equipping vehicles with positive-ignition or compression-ignition
engines during an ageing test of 80000 km.
2. TEST VEHICLE
2.1. The vehicle must be in good mechanical order; the engine and the anti-
pollution devices must be new.
The vehicle may be the same as that presented for the type I test; this type
I test has to be done after the vehicle has run at least 3 000 km of the
ageing cycle of section 5.1.
3. FUEL
The durability test is conducted with a suitable commercially available
fuel.
4. VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
Maintenance, adjustments as well as the use of the test vehicle's controls
shall be those recommended by the manufacturer.
5. VEHICLE OPERATION ON TRACK, ROAD OR ON CHASSIS
DYNAMOMETER
5.1.Operatingcycle
During operation on track, road or on roller test bench, the distance must
be covered according to the driving schedule (Figure ►M15VIII◄.5.1)
described below:
— the durability test schedule is composed of 11 cycles covering 6 kilo-
metres each,
— during the first nine cycles, the vehicle is stopped four times in the
middle of the cycle, with the engine idling each time for 15 seconds,
— normal acceleration and deceleration,— five decelerations in the middle of each cycle, dropping from cycle
speed to 32 km/h, and the vehicle is gradually accelerated again until
cycle speed is attained,
— the 10th cycle is carried out at a steady speed of 89 km/h,
— th e 11thcycle begins withmaximum acceleration from stop point up
to 113 km/h. At half-way, braking is employed normally until the
vehicle comes to a stop. This is followed by an idle period of 15
seconds and a second maximum acceleration.
The schedule is then restarted from the beginning. The maximum speed of
eachcycle is given in th e following Table.

5.1.1. At the request of the manufacturer, an alternative road test schedule
may be used. Such alternative test schedules shall be approved by the
technical service in advance of the test and must have substancially
the same average speed, distribution of speeds, number of stops per
kilometres and number of accelerations per kilometres as the driving
schedule used on track or roller test bench, as detailed in 5.1 and Figure
►M15VIII◄.5.1.
5.1.2. The durability test, or if the manufacturer has chosen, the modified
durability test shall be conducted until the vehicle has covered a
minimum of 80000 km.
5.2.Testequipment
5.2.1. Chassis dynamometer
5.2.1.1. When the durability test is performed on a chassis dynamometer, the
dynamometer must enable the cycle described in 5.1 to be carried out.
In particular, it must be equipped withsystems simulating inertia and
resistance to progress.
5.2.1.2. The brake must be adjusted in order to absorb the power exerted on the
driving wheels at a steady speed of 80 km/h. Methods to be applied to
determine this power and to adjust the brake are the same as those
described in Appendix 3 to Annex III.
5.2.1.3. The vehicle cooling system should enable the vehicle to operate at
temperatures similar to those obtained on road (oil, water, exhaust
system, etc.).
5.2.1.4. Certain other test bench adjustments and features are deemed to be
identical, where necessary, to those described in Annex III of this
Directive (inertia, for example, which may be mechanical or electronic).
5.2.1.5. The vehicle may be moved, where necessary, to a different bench in
order to conduct emission measurement tests.
5.2.2. Operation on track or road
When the durability test is completed on track or road, the vehicle's
reference mass will be at least equal to that retained for tests conducted
on a chassis dynamometer.
6. MEASURING EMISSIONS OF POLLUTANTS
At the start of the test (0 km), and every 10000 km (± 400 km) or
more frequently, at regular intervals until having covered 80000 km,
tailpipe emissions are measured in accordance withth e type I test as
defined in section 5.3.1 of Annex I. The limit values to be complied
withare th ose laid down in section 5.3.1.4 of Annex I.
All exhaust emissions results must be plotted as a function of the
running distance on the system rounded to the nearest kilometre and
the best fit straight line fitted by the method of least squares shall be
drawn through all these data points. This calculation shall not take
into account the test results at 0 km.
The data will be acceptable for use in the calculation of the deteriora-
tion factor only if the interpolated 6 400 km and 80000 km points on
this line are within the above mentioned limits. The data are still accep-
table when a best fit straight line crosses an applicable limit with a
negative slope (the 6 400 km interpolated point is higher than the
80000 km interpolated point) but the 80000 km actual data point is
below the limit.
A multiplicative exhaust emission deterioration factor shall be calcu-
lated for eachpollutant as follows:
D:E:F:¼Mi2
Mi1
where:
Mi1= mass emission of the pollutant i in grams per km interpolated
to 6 400 km,
Mi2= mass emission of the pollutant i in grams per km interpolated
to 80000 km.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 141
▼M15
▼M9
▼M9
These interpolated values must be carried out to a minimum of four
places to the right of the decimal point before dividing one by the other
to determine the deterioration factor. The result must be rounded to
three places to the right of the decimal point.
If a deterioration factor is less than one, it is deemed to be equal to one.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 142

ANNEX XI
ON-BOARDDIAGNOSTICS(OBD)FORMOTORVEHICLES
1. INTRODUTION
This Annex applies to the functional aspects of on-board diagnostic
(OBD) system for the emission control of motor vehicles.
2. DEFINITIONS
For the purposes of this Annex:
2.1. ‘OBD’ means an on-board diagnostic system for emission control
which must have the capability of identifying the likely area of
malfunction by means of fault codes stored in computer memory.
2.2. ‘Vehicle type’ means a category of power-driven vehicles which do not
differ in suchessential engine and OBD system ch aracteristics as
defined in Appendix 2.
2.3. ‘Vehicle family’ means a manufacturer's grouping of vehicles which,
through their design, are expected to have similar exhaust emission
and OBD system characteristics. Each engine of this family must have
complied with the requirements of this Directive.
2.4. ‘Emission control system’ means the electronic engine management
controller and any emission-related component in the exhaust or
evaporative system which supplies an input to or receives an output
from this controller.
2.5. ‘Malfunction indicator (MI)’ means a visible or audible indicator that
clearly informs the driver of the vehicle in the event of a malfunction
of any emission-related component connected to the OBD system, or
the OBD system itself.
2.6. ‘Malfunction’ means the failure of an emission-related component or
system that would result in emissions exceeding the limits in
section 3.3.2 or if the OBD system is unable to fulfil the basic moni-
toring requirements of this Annex.
2.7. ‘Secondary air’ refers to air introduced into the exhaust system by
means of a pump or aspirator valve or other means that is intended to
aid in the oxidation of HC and CO contained in the exhaust gas stream.
2.8. ‘Engine misfire’ means lack of combustion in the cylinder of a positive-
ignition engine due to absence of spark, poor fuel metering, poor
compression or any other cause. In terms of OBD monitoring it is that
percentage of misfires out of a total number of firing events (as
declared by the manufacturer) that would result in emissions exceeding
the limits given in section 3.3.2 or. that percentage that could lead to an
exhaust catalyst, or catalysts, overheating causing irreversible damage.
2.9. ‘Type I test’ means the driving cycle (Parts One and Two) used for
emission approvals, as detailed in Annex III, Appendix 1.
2.10. ‘A driving cycle’ consists of engine start-up, driving mode where a
malfunction would be detected if present, and engine shut-off.
2.11. ‘A warm-up cycle’ means sufficient vehicle operation such that the
coolant temperature has risen by a least 22 ºK from engine starting
and reaches a minimum temperature of 343 ºK (70 ºC).
2.12. ‘Fuel trim’ refers to feedback adjustments to the base fuel schedule.
Short-term fuel trim refers to dynamic or instantaneous adjustments.
Long-term fuel trim refers to muchmore gradual adjustments to th e
fuel calibration schedule than short-term trim adjustments. These long-
term adjustments compensate for vehicle differences and gradual
changes that occur over time.
2.13. ‘Calculated load value’ refers to an indication of the current airflow
divided by peak airflow, where peak airflow is corrected for altitude,
if available. This definition provides a dimensionless number that is
not engine specific and provides the service technician with an indica-
tion of the proportion of engine capacity that is being used (with wide
open throttle as 100 %);1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 154

Peak airflow ðat sea level Þ/C2Atmospheric pressure ðat sea level Þ
Barometric pressure
2.14. ‘Permanent emission default mode’ refers to a case where the engine
management controller permanently switches to a setting that does not
require an input from a failed component or system where such a failed
component or system would result in an increase in emissions from the
vehicle to a level above the limits given in section 3.3.2.
2.15. ‘Power take-off unit’ means an engine-driven output provision for the
purposes of powering auxiliary, vehicle mounted, equipment.
2.16. ‘Access’ means the availability of all emission-related OBD data
including all fault codes required for the inspection, diagnosis, servicing
or repair of emissions-related parts of the vehicle, via the serial inter-
face for the standard diagnostic connection (pursuant to Appendix 1,
section 6.5.3.5 of this Annex).
2.17. ‘Unrestricted’ means
— access not dependent on an access code obtainable only from the
manufacturer, or a similar device, or
— access allowing evaluation of the data produced without the need
for any unique decoding information, unless that information itself
is standardised.
2.18. ‘Standardised’ means that all data stream information, including all
fault codes used, shall be produced only in accordance with industry
standards which, by virtue of the fact that their format and their
permitted options are clearly defined, provide for a maximum level of
harmonisation in the motor vehicle industry, and whose use is expressly
permitted in this Directive.
2.19. ‘Repair information’ means all information required for diagnosis,
servicing, inspection, periodic monitoring or repair of the vehicle and
which the manufacturers provide for their authorised dealers/repair
shops. Where necessary, such information shall include service hand-
books, technical manuals, diagnosis information (e.g. minimum and
maximum theoretical values for measurements), wiring diagrams, the
software calibration identification number applicable to a vehicle type,
instructions for individual and special cases, information provided
concerning tools and equipment, data record information and two-direc-
tional monitoring and test data. The manufacturer shall not be obliged
to make available that information which is covered by intellectual
property rights or constitutes specific know-how of manufacturers and/
or OEM suppliers; in this case the necessary technical information shall
not be improperly withheld.
2.20. ‘Deficiency’ means, in respect of vehicle OBD systems, that up to two
separate components or systems that are monitored contain temporary
or permanent operating characteristics that impair the otherwise effi-
cient OBD monitoring of those components or systems or do not meet
all of the other detailed requirements for OBD. Vehicles may be type-
approved, registered and sold withsuchdeficiencies according to th e
requirements of Section 4 of this Annex.
3. REQUIREMENTS AND TESTS
3.1. All vehicles must be equipped with an OBD system so designed,
constructed and installed in a vehicle as to enable it to identify types
of deterioration or malfunction over the entire life of the vehicle. In
achieving this objective the approval authority must accept that vehicles
which have travelled distances in excess of the Type V durability
distance, referred to in 3.3.1, may show some deterioration in OBD
system performance such that the emission limits given in 3.3.2 may
be exceeded before the OBD system signals a failure to the driver of
the vehicle.
3.1.1. Access to the OBD system required for the inspection, diagnosis, servi-
cing or repair of the vehicle must be unrestricted and standardised. All
emission-related fault codes must be consistent withSection 6.5.3.4 of
Appendix 1 to this Annex.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 155

3.1.2. No later than three months after the manufacturer has provided any
authorised dealer or repair shop within the Community with repair
information, the manufacturer shall make that information (including
all subsequent amendments and supplements) available upon reasonable
and non-discriminatory payment and shall notify the approval authority
accordingly.
In the event of failure to comply with these provisions the approval
authority shall take appropriate measures to ensure that repair informa-
tion is available, in accordance withth e procedures laid down for type-
approval and in-service surveys.
3.2. The OBD system must be so designed, constructed and installed in a
vehicle as to enable it to comply with the requirements of this Annex
during conditions of normal use.
3.2.1. Temporary disablement of the OBD system
3.2.1.1. A manufacturer may disable the OBD system if its ability to monitor is
affected by low fuel levels. Disablement must not occur when the fuel
tank level is above 20 % of the nominal capacity of the fuel tank.
3.2.1.2. A manufacturer may disable the OBD system at ambient engine starting
temperatures below 266 ºK (−7 ºC) or at elevations over 2 500 metres
above sea level provided the manufacturer submits data and/or an engi-
neering evaluation which adequately demonstrate that monitoring would
be unreliable when such conditions exist. A manufacturer may also
request disablement of the OBD system at other ambient engine starting
temperatures if he demonstrates to the authority with data and/or an
engineering evaluation that misdiagnosis would occur under such condi-
tions.
3.2.1.3. For vehicles designed to accommodate the installation of power take-off
units, disablement of affected monitoring systems is permitted provided
disablement occurs only when the power take-off unit is active.
3.2.2. Engine misfire — vehicles equipped with positive-ignition engines
3.2.2.1. Manufacturers may adopt higher misfire percentage malfunction criteria
than those declared to the authority, under specific engine speed and
load conditions where it can be demonstrated to the authority that the
detection of lower levels of misfire would be unreliable.
3.2.2.2. When a manufacturer can demonstrate to the authority that the detec-
tion of higher levels of misfire percentages is still not feasible, or that
misfire cannot be distinguished from other effects (e.g. rough roads,
transmission shifts, after engine starting; etc.) the misfire monitoring
system may be disabled when such conditions exist.
3.3.Descriptionoftests
3.3.1. The test are carried out on the vehicle used for the Type V durability
test, given in Annex VIII, and using the test procedure in Appendix I
to this Annex. Tests are carried out at the conclusion of the Type V
durability testing. When no Type V durability testing is carried out, or
at the request of the manufacturer, a suitably aged and representative
vehicle may be used for these OBD demonstration tests.
3.3.2. The OBD system must indicate the failure of an emission-related
component or system when that failure results in emissions exceeding
the threshold limits given below:

values for OBD for 2005/6 for M1and N1vehicles.
3.3.3. Monitoring requirements for vehicles equipped with positive-ignition
engines
In satisfying the requirements of 3.3.2 the OBD system must, at a
minimum, monitor for:
3.3.3.1. reduction in the efficiency of the catalytic converter with respect to the
emissions of HC only. Manufacturers may monitor the front catalystalone or in combination withth e next catalyst(s) downstream. Each
monitored catalyst or catalyst combination shall be considered malfunc-
tioning when the emissions exceed the HC threshold given in the table
in Section 3.3.2;
3.3.3.2. the presence of engine misfire in the engine operating region bounded
by the following lines:
(a) a maximum speed of 4 500min
−1or 1 000 min−1greater than the
highest speed occurring during a Type I test cycle, whichever is
the lower;
(b) the positive torque line (i. e. engine load with the transmission in
neutral);
(c) a line joining the following engine operating points: the positive
torque line at 3 000 min−1and a point on the maximum speed line
defined in (a) above withth e engine's manifold vacuum at 13,33 kPa
lower than that at the positive torque line.
3.3.3.3. oxygen sensor deterioration
3.3.3.4. if active on the selected fuel, other emission control system components
or systems, or emission-related powertrain components or systems
which are connected to a computer, the failure of which may result in
tailpipe emissions exceeding the limits given in 3.3.2;
3.3.3.5. unless otherwise monitored, any other emission-related powertrain
component connected to a computer, including any relevant sensors to
enable monitoring functions to be carried out, must be monitored for
circuit continuity;
3.3.3.6. the electronic evaporative emission purge control must, at a minimum,
be monitored for circuit continuity.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 157

3.3.4. Monitoring requirements for vehicles equipped with compression-igni-
tion engines
In satisfying the requirements of 3.3.2 the OBD system must monitor:
3.3.4.1. Where fitted, reduction in the efficiency of the catalytic converter;
3.3.4.2. Where fitted, the functionality and integrity of the particulate trap;
3.3.4.3. The fuel-injection system electronic fuel quantity and timing actuator(s)
is/are monitored for circuit continuity and total functional failure;
3.3.4.4. Other emission control system components or systems, or emission-
related powertrain components or systems, which are connected to a
computer, the failure of which may result in tailpipe emissions
exceeding the limits given in 3.3.2. Examples of such systems or
components are those for monitoring and control of air mass-flow, air
volumetric flow (and temperature), boost pressure and inlet manifold
pressure (and relevant sensors to enable these functions to be carried
out).
3.3.4.5. Unless otherwise monitored, any other emission-related powertrain
component connected to a computer must be monitored for circuit
continuity.
3.3.5. Manufacturers may demonstrate to the approval authority that certain
components or systems need not be monitored if, in the event of their
total failure or removal, emissions do not exceed the emission limits
given in 3.3.2.
3.4. A sequence of diagnostic checks must be initiated at each engine start
and completed at least once provided that the correct test conditions are
met. The test conditions must be selected in such a way that they all
occur under normal driving as represented by the Type I test.
3.5.Activationofmalfunctionindicator(MI)
3.5.1. The OBD system must incorporate a malfunction indicator readily
perceivable to the vehicle operator. The MI must not be used for any
other purpose except to indicate emergency start-up or limp-home
routines to the driver. The MI must be visible in all reasonable lighting
conditions. When activated, it must display a symbol in conformity
withISO 2575(1). A vehicle must not be equipped with more than
one general purpose MI for emission-related problems. Separate
specific purpose telltales (e. g. brake system, fasten seat belt, oil pres-
sure, etc.) are permitted. The use of red for an MI is prohibited.
3.5.2. For strategies requiring more than two preconditioning cycles for MI
activation, the manufacturer must provide data and/or an engineering
evaluation which adequately demonstrates that the monitoring system
is equally effective and timely in detecting component deterioration.
Strategies requiring on average more than 10 driving cycles for MI acti-
vation are not accepted. The MI must also activate whenever the engine
control enters a permanent emission default mode of operation if the
emission limits given in 3.3.2 are exceeded or if the OBD system is
unable to fulfil the basic monitoring requirements specified in
section 3.3.3 or section 3.3.4 of this Annex. The MI must operate in a
distinct warning mode, e.g. a flashing light, under any period during
which engine misfire occurs at a level likely to cause catalyst damage,
as specified by the manufacturer. The MI must also activate when the
vehicle's ignition is in the ‘key-on’ position before engine starting or
cranking and de-activate after engine starting if no malfunction has
previously been detected.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 158

3.6.Faultcodestorage
The OBD system must record fault code(s) indicating the status of the
emission control system. Separate status codes must be used to identify
correctly functioning emission control systems and those emission
control systems which need further vehicle operation to be fully evalu-
ated. If the MI is activated due to deterioration or malfunction or
permanent emission default modes of operation, a fault code must be
stored that identifies the type of malfunction. A fault code must also
be stored in the cases referred to in sections 3.3.3.5 and 3.3.4.5 of this
Annex.
3.6.1. The distance travelled by the vehicle while the MI is activated must be
available at any instant through the serial port on the standard link
connector (1).
3.6.2. In the case of vehicles equipped with positive-ignition engines,
misfiring cylinders need not be uniquely identified if a distinct single
or multiple cylinder misfire fault code is stored.
3.7.ExtinguishingtheMI
3.7.1. If misfire at levels likely to cause catalyst damage (as specified by the
manufacturer) is not present any more, or if the engine is operated after
changes to speed and load conditions where the level of misfire will not
cause catalyst damage, the MI may be switched back to the previous
state of activation during the first driving cycle on which the misfire
level was detected and may be switched to the normal activated mode
on subsequent driving cycles. If the MI is switched back to the previous
state of activation, the corresponding fault codes and stored freeze-
frame conditions may be erased.
3.7.2. For all other malfunctions, the MI may be de-activated after three
subsequent sequential driving cycles during which the monitoring
system responsible for activating the MI ceases to detect the malfunc-
tion and if no other malfunction has been identified that would
independently activate the MI.
3.8.Erasingafaultcode
3.8.1. The OBD system may erase a fault code and the distance travelled and
freeze-frame information if the same fault is not re-registered in at least
40 engine warm-up cycles.
3.9.Bi-fuelledgasvehicles
3.9.1. For bi-fuelled gas vehicles, the procedures:
— activation of malfunction indicator (MI) (see section 3.5 of this
Annex),
— fault code storage (see section 3.6 of this Annex),
— extinguishing the MI (see section 3.7 of this Annex),— erasing a fault code (see section 3.8 of this Annex),
shall be executed independently of each other when the vehicle is oper-
ated on petrol or on gas. When the vehicle is operated on petrol, the
result of any of the procedures indicated above shall not be affected
when the vehicle is operated on gas. When the vehicle is operated on
gas, the result of any of the procedures indicated above shall not be
affected when the vehicle is operated on petrol.
Notwithstanding this requirement, the status code (described in
section 3.6 of this Annex) shall indicate fully evaluated control systems
for both fuel types (petrol and gas) when the control systems are fully
evaluated for one of the fuel types.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 159
(1) This requirement is only applicable from 1 January 2003 to new types of vehicles with
an electronic speed input to the engine management. It applies to all new types of vehi-
cles entering into service from 1 January 2005.▼M19

Appendix 1
FUNCTIONAL ASPECTS OF ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD)
SYSTEMS
1. INTRODUCTION
This Appendix describes the procedure of the test according to section
5 of this Annex. The procedure describes a method for checking the
function of the on-board diagnostic (OBD) system installed on the
vehicle by failure simulation of relevant systems in the engine manage-
ment or emission control system. It also sets procedures for determining
the durability of OBD systems.
The manufacturer must make available the defective components and/or
electrical devices which would be used to simulate failures. When
measured over the Type I test cycle, such defective components or
devices must not cause the vehicle emissions to exceed the limits of
section 3.3.2 by more than 20 %.
When the vehicle is tested with the defective component or device
fitted, the OBD system is approved if the MI is activated. The OBD
system is also approved if the MI is activated below the OBD threshold
limits.
2. DESCRIPTION OF TEST
2.1. The testing of OBD systems consists of the following phases:
— simulation of malfunction of a component of the engine manage-
ment or emission control system,
— preconditioning of the vehicle with a simulated malfunction over
preconditioning specified in Section 6.2.1 or Section 6.2.2,
— driving the vehicle with a simulated malfunction over the Type I
test cycle and measuring the emissions of the vehicle,
— determining whether the OBD system reacts to the simulated
malfunction and indicates malfunction in an appropriate manner to
the vehicle driver.
2.2. Alternatively, at the request of the manufacturer, malfunction of one or
more components may be electronically simulated according to the
requirements of section 6.
2.3. Manufacturers may request that monitoring take place outside the Type
I test cycle if it can be demonstrated to the authority that monitoring
during conditions encountered during the Type I test cycle would
impose restrictive monitoring conditions when the vehicle is used in
service.
3. TEST VEHICLE AND FUEL3.1.Vehicle
The test vehicle must meet the requirements of section 3.1 of Annex
III.
3.2.Fuel
The appropriate reference fuel as described in Annex IX for petrol and
diesel fuels and in Annex IXa for LPG and NG fuels must be used for
testing. The fuel type for each failure mode to be tested (described in
section 6.3 of this Appendix) may be selected by the type-approvalauthority from the reference fuels described in Annex IXa in the case
of the testing of a mono-fuelled gas vehicle and from the reference
fuels described in Annex IX or Annex IXa in the case of the testing of
a bi-fuelled gas vehicle. The selected fuel type must not be changed
during any of the test phases (described in sections 2.1 to 2.3 of this
Appendix). In the case of the use of LPG or NG as a fuel it is permis-
sible that the engine is started on petrol and switched to LPG or NG
after a pre-determined period of time which is controlled automatically
and not under the control of the driver.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 162

dance with section 3.7 of this Annex, the stored engine conditions may
also be erased.
6.5.1.2. If available, the following signals in addition to the required freeze-
frame information must be made available on demand through the serial
port on the standardized data link connector, if the information is avail-
able to the on-board computer or can be determined using information
available to the on-board computer: diagnostic trouble codes, engine
coolant temperature, fuel control system status (closed-loop, open-loop,
other), fuel trim, ignition timing advance, intake air temperature, mani-
fold air pressure, air flow rate, engine speed, throttle position sensor1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 164

Appendix 2
ESSENTIALCHARACTERISTICSOFTHEVEHICLEFAMILY
1. PARAMETERS DEFINING THE OBD FAMILY
The OBD family may be defined by basic design parameters which must be
common to vehicles within the family. In some cases there may be interac-
tion of parameters. These effects must also be taken into consideration to
ensure that only vehicles with similar exhaust emission characteristics are
included within an OBD family.
2. To this end, those vehicle types whose parameters described below are iden-
tical are considered to belong to the same engine-emission control/OBD
system combination.
Engine:
— combustion process (i. e. positive-ignition, compression-ignition, two-
stroke, four-stroke),
— method of engine fuelling (i. e. carburettor or fuel injection).
Emission control system:
— type of catalytic converter (i. e. oxidation, three-way, heated catalyst,
other),
— type of particulate trap,— secondary air injection (i. e. withor with out),
— exhaust gas recirculation (i. e. with or without)
OBD parts and functioning:
— the methods of OBD functional monitoring, malfunction detection and
malfunction indication to the vehicle driver.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 167

ANNEX XII
EC TYPE-APPROVAL FOR A VEHICLE FUELLED BY LPG OR
NATURALGASWITHREGARDTOITSEMISSIONS
1. INTRODUCTION
This Annex describes the special requirements that apply in the case of
an approval of a vehicle that runs on LPG or natural gas, or that can
run either on unleaded petrol or LPG or natural gas, in so far as the
testing on LPG or natural gas is concerned.
In the case of LPG and natural gas there is on the market a large varia-
tion in fuel composition, requiring the fuelling system to adapt its
fuelling rates to these compositions. To demonstrate this capability,
the vehicle has to be tested in the test type I on two extreme reference
fuels and demonstrate the self-adaptability of the fuelling system.
Whenever the self adaptability of a fuelling system has been demon-
strated on a vehicle, such a vehicle may be considered as a parent of a
family. Vehicles that comply with the requirements of members of that
family, if fitted withth e same fuelling system, need to be tested on only
one fuel.
2. DEFINITIONS
For the purpose of this Annex:
2.1. A parent vehicle means a vehicle that is selected to act as the vehicle
on which the self adaptability of a fuelling system is going to be
demonstrated, and to which the members of a family refer. It is possible
to have more than one parent vehicle in a family.
2.2. A member of the family is a vehicle that shares the following essential
characteristics with its parent(s):
2.2.1. (a) It is produced by the same vehicle manufacturer.
(b) It is subject to the same emission limits.
(c) If the gas fuelling system has a central metering for the whole
engine:
It has a certified power output between 0,7 and 1,15 times that of
the engine of the parent vehicle.
If the gas fuelling system has an individual metering per cylinder:It has a certified power output per cylinder between 0,7 and 1,15
times that of the engine of the parent vehicle.
(d) If fitted with a catalyst system, it has the same type of catalyst i.e.
three-way, oxidation, de NOx.
(e) It has a gas fuelling system (including the pressure regulator) from
the same system manufacturer and of the same type: induction,
vapour injection (single point, multipoint), liquid injection (single
point, multipoint).
(f) This gas fuelling system is controlled by an ECU of the same type
and technical specification, containing the same software principles
and control strategy.
2.2.2. With regard to requirement (c): in the case where a demonstration
shows two gas fuelled vehicles could be members of the same family
with the exception of their certified power output, respectively P1 and
P2 (P1 < P2), and both are tested as if they were parent vehicles, the
family relation will be considered valid for any vehicle with a certified
power output between 0,7 * P1 and 1,15 * P2.
3. GRANTING OF AN EC TYPE-APPROVAL
EC type-approval is granted subject to the following requirements:
3.1. Exhaust emissions approval of a parent vehicle:
The parent vehicle should demonstrate its capability to adapt to any
fuel composition that may occur across the market. In the case of LPG
there are variations in C3/C4 composition. In the case of natural gas
there are generally two types of fuel, high calorific fuel (H-gas) and
low calorific fuel (L-gas), but witha significant spread with in both
ranges; they differ significantly in Wobbe index. These variations are
reflected in the reference fuels.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 168
▼M14
3.1.1. The parent vehicle(s) shall be tested in the test type I on the two
extreme reference fuels of Annex IXa.
3.1.1.1. If the transition from one fuel to another is in practice aided through the
use of a switch, this switch shall not be used during type approval. In
such a case on the manufacturer's request and with the agreement of the
technical service the pre-conditioning cycle referred to in point 5.3.1 of
Annex III may be extended.
3.1.2. The vehicle(s) is (are) considered to conform if, with both reference
fuels, the vehicle complies with the emission limits.
3.1.3. The ratio of emission results ‘r’ should be determined for each pollutant
as follows:
r¼femission result on one reference fuel g
femission result on the other reference fuel g
3.2. Exhaust emissions approval of a member of the family:
For a member of the family a test of type I shall be performed with one
reference fuel. This reference fuel may be either reference fuel. The
vehicle is considered to comply if the following requirements are met:
3.2.1. The vehicle complies with the definition of a family member as defined
under point 2.2.
3.2.2. The test results for each pollutant will be multiplied with its factor ‘r’
(see point 3.1.3), if r is greater than 1,0. If r is smaller than 1,0, its
value will be taken as 1. The results of these multiplications shall be
taken as the final emission result. On the manufacturer's request the
test type I may be performed on reference fuel 2 or on bothreference
fuels, so that no correction is needed.
3.2.3. The vehicle shall comply with the emission limits valid for the relevant
category for bothmeasured and calculated emissions.
4. GENERAL CONDITIONS
4.1. Tests for conformity of production may be performed witha commer-
cial fuel of which the C3/C4 ratio lies between those of the reference
fuels in the case of LPG, or of which the Wobbe index lies between
those of the extreme reference fuels in the case of NG. In that case a
fuel analysis needs to be present.1970L0220 — EN — 04.09.2003 — 021.001 — 169
