(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 — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 2

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 equippedwith a positive-ignition engine with regard to the emission of gaseous
pollutants by the engine), annexed to the Agreement of 20 March 1958
concerning 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 down
in Article 13 of the Council Directive of 6 February 1970 on the type
approval of motor vehicles and their trailers;
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

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 type-approval on the basis of the corre-
sponding technical requirements in:
— the code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 86, subparts A
and B, applicable to 1987 model year light-duty vehicles,
revised as of 1 July 1989 and published by the US Govern-
ment Printing Office, or
— the ‘Master Document’, in its final version dated 25
September 1987, prepared by the International meeting in
Stockholm on Air Pollution by Motor Vehicles, entitled
‘Control of Air Pollution from Motor Vehicles — General
Provisions for Emission Regulations for Light Motor Vehi-
cles.’
The type-approval authority must notify the Commission of the
circumstances of each approval granted under this 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 ensure 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. For tail-
pipe emissions, these provisions are deemed to be met if the
provisions of sections 5.3.1.4 and 7.1.1.1 are respectively
complied with.1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 8

If an oxygen sensor is used in the catalytic converter system,
steps must be taken to ensure that the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio
(lambda) is maintained when a certain speed is reached or when
accelerating.
However, temporary variations in this ratio are permissible if they
also occur during the test defined in sections 5.3.1 and 7.1.1
respectively, or if these variations are necessary for safe driving
and for the correct operation of the engine and of components
which affect pollutant emissions or if these variations are neces-
sary for cold starting.
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
with the 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.
5.2. Applicationoftests
Figure 1.5.2 illustrates the routes for type-approval of a vehicle.
5.2.1. Positive ignition engined vehicles must be subject to the
following tests:
— Type I: (simulating the average tailpipe emissions after a
cold start)
— Type II: (carbon monoxide emission at idling speed)
— Type III: (emission of crankcase gases)
— Type IV: (evaporation emissions)— Type V: (durability of anti-pollution devices).
5.2.2. Positive-ignition engine powered vehicles fuelled with LPG or
NG only shall be subjected to the following tests:
— type I (simulating the average tailpipe emissions after a cold
start),
— type II (carbon monoxide emissions at idling speed),
— type III (emissions of crankcase),
— type V (durability of pollution control devices).
5.2.3. Compression ignition engined vehicles must be subject to the
following tests:
— Type I: (simulating the average tailpipe emissions after a
cold start)
— Type V: (durability of anti-pollution devices).1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 9

5.3. Descriptionoftests
5.3.1. Type I test (simulating the average tailpipe emissions after a cold
start).
5.3.1.1. Figure I.5.3 illustrates the routes for type I test. This test must be
carried out on all vehicles referred to in section 1, of a maximum
mass not exceeding 3,5 tonnes.
5.3.1.2. The vehicle is placed on a chassis dynamometer equipped with a
means of load and inertia simulation.
►M105.3.1.2.1. A test lasting a total of ◄vehicles referred to in 8.1, a test
lasting a total of 19 minutes and 40 seconds, made upof two
parts, One and Two, is performed without interruption. An
unsampled period of not more than 20 seconds may, with the
agreement of the manufacturer, be introduced between the end
of Part One and the beginning of Part Two in order to facilitate
adjustment of the test equipment.
5.3.1.2.1.1. Vehicles that are fuelled with LPG or NG shall be tested in the
type I test for variations in the composition of LPG or NG, as
set out in Annex XII. Vehicles that can be fuelled either with
petrol or with LPG or NG shall be tested in the type I test on
both fuels, of which the fuelling on LPG or NG has to be
performed for variation in the composition of LPG or NG, as set
out in Annex XII.
5.3.1.2.1.2. Notwithstanding the requirement of point 5.3.1.2.1.1, vehicles
that can be fuelled with both petrol and a gaseous fuel, but where
the petrol system is fitted for emergency purposes or starting only
and of which the petrol tank cannot contain more than 15 litres of
petrol will be regarded for the test type I as vehicles that can only
run on a gaseous fuel.
5.3.1.2.2. Part One of the test is made upof four elementary urban cycles.
Each elementary urban cycle comprises fifteen phases (idling,
acceleration, steady speed, deceleration, etc.).
5.3.1.2.3. Part Two of the test is made upof one extra urban cycle. The
extra urban cycle comprises 13 phases (idling, acceleration,
steady speed, deceleration, etc.).

where, at an engine speed of 1 000 rpm, V1is the speed of the
vehicle-type approved and V2is the speed of the vehicle type
for which extension of the approval is requested.
6.1.2.2. If, for each gear ratio, E ≤8 %, the extension is granted without
repeating the type I tests.
6.1.2.3. If, for at least one gear ratio, E > 8 % and if for each gear ratio
E≤13 % the type I test must be repeated, but may be
performed in a laboratory chosen by the manufacturer

7. CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION
7.1. Measures to ensure the conformity of production must be taken in
accordance with the provisions of Article 10 of Directive 70/156/
EEC.
Conformity of production is checked on the basis of the descrip-
tion in the type-approval certificate set out in Annex IX to this
Directive.
If the authority is not satisfied with the auditing procedure of the
manufacturer, then Sections 2.4.2 and 2.4.3 of Annex X to Direc-
tive 70/156/EEC are applicable.
7.1.1. 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 rele-
vant extension.
7.1.1.1. Checking the conformity of the vehicle for a type I test.
After selection by the authority, the manufacturer must not under-
take any adjustment to the vehicles selected.
7.1.1.1.1. Three vehicles are selected at random in the series and are tested
as described in Section 5.3.1 of this Annex. The deterioration
factors are used in the same way. The limit values are given in
Section 5.3.1.4 of this Annex.
7.1.1.1.2. If the authority is satisfied with the production standard deviation
given by the manufacturer in accordance with Annex X to Direc-
tive 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.
7.1.1.1.3. 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).
7.1.1.2. Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 3.1.1 of Annex III,
the tests will be carried out on vehicles coming straight off the
production line.
7.1.1.2.1. However, at the request of the manufacturer, the tests may be
carried out on vehicles which have completed:
— a maximum of 3 000 km for vehicles equipped with a positive
ignition engine,
— a maximum of 15000 km for vehicles equipped with a
compression ignition engine,
In both these cases, the running-in procedure will be conducted
by the manufacturer, who must undertake not to make any adjust-
ments to these vehicles.1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 17

Figure I.71970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 18
▼M11
7.1.1.2.2. If the manufacturer wishes to run in the vehicles, (‘x’ km, where
x≤3 000 km for vehicles equipped with a positive ignition
engine and x ≤15000 km for vehicles equipped with a
compression ignition engine), the procedure will be as follows:
— the pollutant emissions (type I) will be measured at zero and
at ‘x’ km on the first tested vehicle,
— the evolution coefficient of the emissions between zero and
‘x’ km will be calculated for each of the pollutants:
Emissions ‘x’ km
Emissions zero km
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.
7.1.1.2.3. All these tests may be conducted with commercial fuel. However,
at the manufacturer's request, the reference fuels described in
Annex VIII may be used.
7.1.2. If a type III test is to be carried out, it must be conducted on all
vehicles selected for the type I COP test (7.1.1.1.1). The condi-
tions laid down in 5.3.3.2 must be complied with.
7.1.3. If a type IV test is to be carried out, it must be conducted in
accordance with Section 7 of Annex VI.
8. TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS
8.2. The following provisions remain applicable until 31 December
1994 for vehicles newly put into service and type-approved
before 1 July 1993:
— the transitional provisions laid down in section 8.3 (with the
exception of 8.3.1.3) of Annex I to Directive 70/220/EEC, as
amended by Directive 88/436/EEC,
►M10— the provisions laid down for category M1(1) vehicles
fitted with positive-ignition engines of a capacity of more
than 2 litres, in Annex I to Directive 70/220/EEC as amended
by Directive 88/76/EEC, ◄
— the provisions laid down for vehicles with an engine capacity
of less than 1,4 litres in Directive 70/220/EEC, as amended by
Directive 89/458/EEC.
At the manufacturer's request, the tests carried out in accordance
with these requirements may be type-approved instead of under-
going the test referred to in sections 5.3.1, 5.3.5 and 7.1.1 of
Annex I to Directive 70/220/EEC, as amended by Directive 91/
441/EEC.
8.3. ►M10For vehicles of category M1(1) upto 1 July 1994 for
type-approval and up to 31 December 1994 for the initial entry
into service, and
for vehicles of category N1(2) upto 1 October 1994 for typ e-
approval and up to 1 October 1995 for the initial entry into
service,
the limit values for the combined mass of hydrocarbons and
nitrogen oxides and for the mass of particulates of vehicles fitted
with compression ignition engines of the direct-injection type are
those obtained by multiplying the values L2and L3in the tables
in 5.3.1.4 (type-approval) and 7.1.1.1 (conformity check) by a
factor of 1,4. ◄1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 19

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 with 40 % of the production defective is
0,95 (producer's risk = 5 %) while the probability of a lot being accepted
with 65 % of the 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:
1
sXn
i¼1L/C0xi ðÞ
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 with 40 % of the production defective is
0,95 (producer's risk = 5 %) while the probability of a lot being accepted
with 65 % of the 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
dn¼1
nXn
j¼1dj
v2
n¼1
nXn
j¼1dj/C0dn/C0/C1 2
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.

ANNEX III
TYPEITEST
(Verifyingtheaverage emissionoftailpipeemissionsafteracoldstart)
1. INTRODUCTION
This Annex describes the procedure for the type I test defined in
5.3.1 of Annex I. When the reference fuel to be used is LPG or
NG, the provisions of Annex XII shall apply additionally.
2. OPERATING CYCLE ON THE CHASSIS DYNAMOMETER
2.1. Descriptionofthecycle
The operating cycle on the chassis dynanometer is described in
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.
For vehicles of category M(1) with a maximum engine power of
no more than 30 kw and a maximum speed not exceeding 130 km/
h, the maximum speed of the extra-urban cycle (Part Two) is
limited to 90 km/h until 1 July 1994.
For vehicles of category N1(2) with a power-to-weight ratio of no
more than 30 kw/t(3) and a maximum speed not exceeding
130 km/h, the maximum speed of the extra-urban cycle (Part
Two) is limited to 90 km/h until 1 January 1996 for vehicles of
category I and until 1 January 1997 for vehicles of categories II
and III.
After these dates, vehicles 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 reach the 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 with the manufacturer's instructions.
2.3.3. Vehicles equipped with automatic gearboxes are tested with the
highest gear (drive) engaged. The accelerator must be used in
such a way as to obtain the 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 throughout1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 30

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).
2.4. Tolerances
2.4.1. A tolerance of ± 2 km/h is allowed between the 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.
3. VEHICLE AND FUEL3.1. Testvehicle
3.1.1. The vehicle must be presented in good mechanical condition. It
must have been run-in and driven at least 3 000 kilometres before
the test.
3.1.2. The exhaust device must not exhibit any leak likely to reduce the
quantity of gas collected, which quantity must be that emerging

3.1.3. The tightness of the intake system may be checked to ensure that
carburation is not affected by an accidental intake of air.
3.1.4. The settings of the engine and of the vehicle's controls must be

system.
3.1.5. The vehicle to be tested, or an equivalent vehicle, must be fitted,
if necessary, with a device to permit the measurement of the
characteristic parameters necessary for chassis dynamometer
setting, in conformity with 4.1.1.

for normal driving and, more particularly, that it is capable of
starting when cold and when hot.
3.2. Fuel
The appropriate reference fuel as defined in Annex VIII must be
used for testing.
3.2.1. Vehicles that are fuelled either with petrol or with LPG or NG
shall be tested according to Annex XII with the appropriate refer-
ence fuel(s) as defined in Annex IX a.1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 31

4. TEST EQUIPMENT
4.1. Chassisdynamometer
4.1.1. The dynamometer must be capable of simulating road load within
one of the following classifications:
— dynamometer with fixed load curve, i.e. a dynamometer
whose physical characteristics provide a fixed load curve
shape,
— dynamometer with ajustable load curve, i.e. a dynamometer
with at least two road load parameters that 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.
4.1.3. It must be equipped with means to simulate inertia and load.
These simulators are connected to the front roller in the case of
a two-roller dynamometer.
4.1.4. Accuracy
4.1.4.1. It must be possible to measure and read the indicated load to an
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 with an adjustable load curve, the 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.
4.1.4.3. The total inertia of the rotating parts (including the simulated
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 with an accuracy of ± 1 km/
h at speeds above 10 km/h.
4.1.5. Load and inertia setting
4.1.5.1. Dynamometer with fixed load curve: the load simulator must be
adjusted to absorb the power exerted on the driving wheels at a
steady speed of 80 km/h and the absorbed power at 50 km/h shallbe noted. The means by which this load is determined and set are
described in Appendix 3.
4.1.5.2. Dynamometer with adjustable load curve: the 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 with electrical 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 with ambient air under controlled conditions. In the
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.
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.1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 32
▼M9
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 with 4.3.2.
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
4.3.1. Requirements
4.3.1.1. Pollutant gases must be analyzed with the following instruments:
Carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) analysis:
The carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide analysers must be of
the non-dispersive infra-red (NDIR) absorption type.
Hydrocarbons (HC) analysis — spark-ignition engines:The hydrocarbons analyser must be of the flame ionization (FID)
type calibrated with propane gas expressed equivalent to carbon
atoms (C
1).
Hydrocarbons (HC) analysis — compression-ignition engines:
The hydrocarbons analyser must be of the flame ionization type
with detector, valves, pipework, etc, heated to 463 K
(190 ºC) ± 10 K (HFID). It must be calibrated with propane gas
expressed equivalent to carbon atoms (C1).
Nitrogen oxide (NOx) analysis:
The nitrogen oxide analyser must be either of the chemilumines-
cent (CLA) or of the non-dispensive ultraviolet resonance
absorption (NDUVR) type, both with an NOx— NO converter.1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 33
▼M12

▼M9
Particulates:
Gravimetric determination of the particulates collected. These
particulates are in each case collected by two series-mounted
filters in the sample gas flow. The quantity of particulates
collected by each pair of filters must be as follows:
—Vep: 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 hydro-
phobic and inert towards the components of the exhaust
gas (fluorocarbon-coated glass-fibre filters or equivalent).
4.3.1.2. Accuracy
The analysers must have a measuring range compatible with the
accuracy required to measure the concentrations of the exhaust
gas sample pollutants.
Measurement error must not exceed ± 2 % (intrinsic error of
analyser) disregarding the true value for the calibration gases.
For concentrations of less than 100 ppm the measurement error
must not exceed ± 2 ppm. The ambient air sample msut be
measured on the same analyser with an appropriate range.
Measurement of the particulates collected shall be to a guaranteed
accuracy 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.
4.3.1.3. Ice-trap
No gas drying device must be used before the analysers unless
shown to have no effect on the pollutant content of the gas
stream.
4.3.2. Particular requirements for compression-ignition engines
A heated sample line for a continuous HC-analysis with the flame
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)
99 % efficient with particle ≥0,3 µm to extract any solid parti-
cles from the continuous flow of gas required for analysis. The
sampling system response time (from the probe to the analyser
inlet) must be no more than four seconds.
The HFID must be used with a constant flow (heat exchanger)
system to ensure a representative sample, unless compensation
for varying CFV or CFO flows is made.
The particulate sampling unit consists of a dilution tunnel, a
sampling probe, a filter unit, a partial-flow pump, and a flow
rate regulator and measuring unit. The particulate-sampling part
flow is drawn through two series-mounted filters. ►M12The1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 34
▼M12
▼M9
▼M12

▼M9
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. ◄. The
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 both of the following conditions are met:
— a stabilized filter is placed and kept in a sealed filter holder
assembly with the 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
Each analyser 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 such accuracy.
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 with an
approved national or international standard.
4.5. Gases
4.5.1. Pure gases
The following pure gases must be available, if necessary, for cali-
bration and operation:

(The amount of NO2contained in this calibration gas must not
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 with purified N2or with puri-
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
accuracy of ± 1,5 K.
4.6.2. Pressure
The atmospheric pressure must be measurable to within ± 0,1 kPa.
4.6.3. Absolute humidity
The absolute humidity (H) must be measurable to within ± 5 %.
4.7. The exhaust gas-sampling system must be verified by the method
described in section 3 of Appendix 7. The maximum permissibledeviation between the quantity of gas introduced and the quantity
of gas measured is 5 %.
5. PREPARING THE TEST5.1. Adjustment of inertia simulators to the vehicle's translatory
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 with one 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
such that:
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. At the end of the first 40-second idling period (see 6.2.2) a
current of air of variable speed shall be blown over the vehicle.
The blower speed shall be such that, within the operating range
of 10 km/h to at least 50 km/h, the linear velocity of the air at1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 37

the blower outlet is within ± 5 km/h of the corresponding roller
speed. The final selection of the blower shall have 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 upby means of the devices p rovided
for this purpose according to the manufacturer's instructions, as
incorporated in the driver's handbook of production vehicles.
6.2.2. The engine must be kept idling for a period of 40 seconds. The
first cycle must begin at the end of the aforesaid period of 40
seconds at idle.
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 with requirements 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-

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.
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 at the start of the first elementary urban cycle as
defined in 6.2.2 and ends on conclusion of the final idling period
in the extra-urban cycle (Part Two).
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 each sample analysis the analyser range to be used for
each pollutant must be set to zero with the 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 the
range.
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.
8. DETERMINATION OF THE QUANTITY OF GASEOUS AND
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 — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 39

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 — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 40

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 upthe 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 — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 51

3. SETTING OF THE DYNAMOMETER
3.1. Settingmethods
The dynamometer setting may be carried out at a constant speed
of 80 km/h in accordance with the requirements of Appendix 3.
3.1.1. Introduction
This method is not a preferred method and must be used only
with fixed load curve shape dynamometers for determination of
load setting at 80 km/h and cannot be used for vehicles 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 — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 53

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
with mechanically 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
each sequence of the 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 — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 61

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 — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 62

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 with compression-ignition engines, of the 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 — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 63

1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 64
▼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 upmust be such that they do not affect the p ollutant 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).1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 65

2.3.3.3. The pressure measurements must have a precision and an accu-
racy of ± 0,4 kPa during the test.
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 gases
2.3.4.1.1. 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 — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 66

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 both upand downstream of the 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 DEVICES3.1. 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 with the drawing is not essential. Additional
components such as instruments, valves, solenoids and switches
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 — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 68

▼M9
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 with a 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 — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 70

3.1.4. Additional equipment required when testing diesel-engined vehi-
cles
To comply with the 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:
Fh is a heated filter,
S3is a sample point close to the mixing chamber,
Vhis a heated multiway valve,
Q is a quick connector to allow the ambient air sample BA
to be analysed on the HFID,
HFID is a heated flame ionization analyzer,R and I are means of integrating and recording the instantaneous
hydrocarbon concentrations,

3.2. Critical-flow venturi dilution device (CFV-CVS) (Figure
III.5.3.2.)
3.2.1. Using a critical-flow venturi in connection with the 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 with the drawing is not essential. Additional
components such as instruments, valve, solenoids, and switches
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;
3.2.3.8. a flow controller (N), to ensure a constant flow of the gas
samples taken in the course of the test from sampling probe S1;1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 71

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

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:

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 with the requirements of 4.3.1.1 and 4.3.2 of Annex
III, the additional components shown within the dotted lines of

cles:

to be analyzed on the HFID,
HFID is a heated flame ionization analyzer,R and I are a means of integrating and recording the instanta-
neous hydrocarbon concentrations,
Lh is a heated 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 S
3.

Appendix 6
METHODOFCALIBRATINGTHEEQUIPMENT
1. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE CALIBRATION CURVE
1.1. Each normally 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 each calibration 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. Each normally used operating range must be checked prior to
each analysis in accordance with the 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 with section 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).
Establish a calibration curve as described in sections 1.1 to 1.5 of
this Appendix.1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 76
▼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 upas shown in Figure III.6.3 and the p rocedure
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 — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 77
▼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 — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 78
▼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 each range 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

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

4.2.3.2. After the system has been connected as shown in Figure

and run the CVS pump for 20 minutes before starting the calibra-
tion.1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 79

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.

4.2.4. Data analysis
4.2.4.1. The air flow-rate (Qs) at each test 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.

where:
Vo= pump flow-rate at Tpand Ppgiven in m3/rev,
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 — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 80

∆Pp
Pes
where:
Xo= correlation function,
∆Pp= pressure differential from pump inlet to pump outlet
(kPa),
Pe= absolute outlet pressure (PPO + PB(kPa).
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
Tp
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
(EPI)± 0,01 kPa,
pressure drop across (EDP) LFE
matrix± 0,0015 kPa,
air flow (Qs) ± 0,5 %,
CFV inlet depression (PPI) ± 0,02 kPa,
temperature at venturi inlet (Tv) ± 0,2 K.1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 81
▼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 each test point
is calculated from the flow-meter data using the manufacturer's
prescribed method.
Calculate values of the calibration coefficient for each test point:
Kv¼Qs/C1ﬃﬃﬃﬃﬃTvp
Pv
where:
Qs= flow-rate in m/min at 273,2 K and 101,33 kPa,
Tv= temperature at the venturi inlet (K),
Pv= absolute pressure at the venturi inlet (kPa).
Plot Kvas a function of venturi inlet pressure. For sonic flow Kvwill have a relatively constant value. As pressure decreases
(vacuum increases) the venturi become unchoked and Kvdecreases. The resultant Kvchanges are not permissible.1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 82

For a minimum of eight points and the critical region calculate an
average Kvand the standard deviation.
If the standard deviation exceeds 0,3 % of the average Kvtake
corrective action.1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 83

Appendix 7
TOTALSYSTEMVERIFICATION
1. To comply with the requirements of section 4.7 of Annex III, the
total accuracy of the CVS sampling system and analytical system
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 with a 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 — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 84

(Carbonmonoxideemissiontestatidlingspeed)
1. INTRODUCTION
This Annex describes the procedure for the type II test defined in
5.3.2 of Annex I.
2. CONDITIONS OF MEASUREMENT
2.1. The fuel must be the reference fuel, specifications for which are
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 upuntil all temp eratures 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 each adjustment component with a 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 with a 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 — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 90
▼M10
▼M14
▼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 with correct running of the
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 — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 91

in section 5.3.3 of Annex I.
2. GENERAL PROVISIONS
2.1. The type III test is carried out on the vehicle with a positive-igni-
tion engine which has been subjected to the type I or type III test
as applicable.
2.2. The engines tested must include leak-proof engines other than
those so designed that even a slight leak may cause unacceptable
operating faults (such as flat-twin engines).
3. TEST CONDITIONS
3.1. Idling must be regulated in conformity with the manufacturer's
recommendations.
3.2. The measurements are performed in the following three sets of
conditions of engine operation:
Condition No Vehicle speed (km/h)
1 Idling
2 50 ± 2 (in 3rd gear or ‘drive’)
3 50 ± 2 (in 3rd gear or ‘drive’)
Condition No Power absorbed by brake

2 That corresponding to the settings for
►M12type I test at 50 km/h ◄
3 That for conditions No 2, multiplied by a factor
of 1,7
4. TEST METHOD
4.1. For the operation conditions as listed in 3.2 reliable function of
the crankcase ventilation system must be checked.
5. METHOD OF VERIFICATION OF THE CRANKCASE VENTI-
LATION SYSTEM
(Refer also to Figure V.5.)
5.1. The engine's apertures must be left as found.5.2. The pressure in the crankcase is measured at an appropriate loca-
tion. It is measured at the dipstick hole with an inclined-tube
manometer.
5.3. The vehicle is deemed satisfactory if, in every condition of
measurement defined in 3.2, the pressure measured in the crank-
case does not exceed the atmospheric pressure prevailing at the
time of measurement.
5.4. For the test by the method described above, the pressure in the
intake manifold is measured to within ± 1 kPa.
5.5 The vehicle speed as indicated at the dynamometer is measured
to within ± 2 km/h.1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 92

5.6. The pressure measured in the crankcase is measured to
within ± 0,01 kPa.
5.7. If in one of the conditions of measurement defined in 3.2 the
pressure measured in the crankcase exceeds the atmospheric pres-
sure, an additional test as defined in section 6 is performed if so
requested by the manufacturer.
6. ADDITIONAL TEST METHOD
6.1. The engine's apertures must be left as found.6.2. A flexible bag impervious to crankcase gases and having a capa-
city of approximately five litres is connected to the dipstick hole.
The bag must be empty before each measurement.
6.3. The bag must be closed before each measurement. It must be
opened to the crankcase for five minutes for each condition of
measurement prescribed in 3.2.
6.4. The vehicle is deemed satisfactory if in every condition of
measurement defined in 3.2 no visible inflation of the bag occurs.
6.5. Remark
6.5.1. If the structural layout of the engine is such that the test cannot
be performed by the methods described in section 6, the measure-
ments must be effected by that method modified as follows:
6.5.2. before the test, all apertures other than that required for the
recovery of the gases are closed;
6.5.3. the bag is placed on a suitable take-off which does not introduce
any additional loss of pressure and is installed on the recycling
circuit of the device directly at the engine-connection aperture.1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 93

TYPEIVTEST
THEDETERMINATIONOFEVAPORATIVEEMISSIONSFROMVEHI-
CLESWITHSPARK-IGNITIONENGINES
1. INTRODUCTION
This Annex describes the procedure of the type IV test according
to section 5.3.4 of Annex I.
This procedure describes a method for the determination of the
loss of hydrocarbons by evaporation from the fuel systems of
vehicles with spark ignition engines.
2. DESCRIPTION OF TEST
The evaporative emission test (Figure VI.2) consists of four
phases:
— test preparation,
— tank breathing loss determination,— urban (Part One) and extra-urban (Part Two) driving cycle,— hot soak loss determination.
Mass emissions of hydrocarbons from the tank breathing loss and
the hot soak loss phases are summed 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 functioning
correctly over this period and the carbon canister subjected 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
VIII to this Directive.
4. TEST EQUIPMENT4.1. Chassisdynamometer
The chassis dynamometer must meet the requirements of Annex
III.
4.2. Evaporativeemissionmeasurementenclosure
4.2.1. 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 to hydrocarbons. At least one of the surfaces must
incorporate a flexible impermeable material to allow the equili-
bration of pressure changes resulting from small changes in
temperature. Wall design must be such as to promote good dissi-
pation of heat. The temperature of the wall must not drop below
293 K (20 ºC) at any point during testing.1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 95

— the vehicle may be steam cleaned before the test,
— the fuel tank of the vehicle must be equipped with a tempera-
ture sensor to enable the temperature to be measured at the
midpoint of the fuel in the fuel tank when filled to 40 % of
its capacity,
— additional fittings, adaptors of devices must be fitted to allow
a complete draining of the fuel tank.
5.1.2. The vehicle is taken into the test area where the ambient tempera-
ture is between 293 and 303 K (20 º and 30 ºC).
5.1.3. The canister of the vehicle is purged for 30 minutes by driving
the car at 60 km/h at the dynamometer setting prescribed in
Annex III — Appendix 2 or by passing air (at room temperature
and humidity) through the canister at a flow rate which is iden-
tical to the actual air flow through the canister when operating
the car at 60 km/h. The canister is subsequently loaded with two
diurnal emissions tests.
5.1.4. The fuel tank(s) of the vehicle is(are) emptied using the fuel tank
drain(s) provided. This must be done so as not to abnormally
purge nor abnormally load the evaporative control devices fitted
to the vehicle. Removal of the fuel cap(s) will normally be suffi-
cient to achieve this.
5.1.5. ►M12The fuel tank(s) is (are) refilled with the specified test
fuel at a temperature below 287 K (14 ºC) to 40 % ± 2 % of
its/their normal fuel capacity. ◄The vehicle's fuel cap(s) must

and the vehicle driven off the chassis dynamometer and parked in
the soak area. The vehicle is parked for a minimum of 10 hours
and a maximum of 36 hours. The engine oil and coolant tempera-
turesmusthavereached thetemperature ofthearea ofwithin±2K

immediately before the test until a stable background is obtain-
able. The chamber mixing fan(s) must be switched on at this
time also.
5.2.3. The hydrocarbon analyzer must be zeroed and spanned immedi-
ately before the test.
5.2.4. The fuel tank(s) must be emptied as in 5.1.4 and refilled with test
fuel at a temperature of between 283 and 287 K (10 º and 14 ºC)

necessary, shall be connected. Immediately begin recording the
fuel temperature and the air temperature within the enclosure.
The purging fan if still operating is switched off at this time.
5.2.7. The fuel may be artifically heated to the starting temperature of
289 K (16 ºC) ± 1 K.
5.2.8. As soon as the fuel temperature reaches 287 K (14 ºC), the fuel
tank(s) must be sealed, and the chamber sealed so that it is gas-
tight.
5.2.9. As soon as the fuel reaches a temperature of 289 K (16 º) ± 1 K:
— the hydrocarbon concentration, barometric pressure and the
temperature are measured to give the initial readings CHC,i,
Piand Tifor the tank heat build test,1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 99
▼M9
— a linear heat build of 14 ± 0,5 K over a period of 60 ± 2
minutes shall begin. The temperature of the fuel during the
heating shall conform to the function below to within ± 1,5 K:
Tr=To+ 0,2333 · t
where:
Tr= required temperature (K),
To= initial temperature of tank (K),
t = time from start of the tank heat build in minutes.
5.2.10. The hydrocarbon analyzer is zeroed and spanned immediately
before the end of the test.
5.2.11. If the temperature has risen by 14 K ± 0,5 K over the 60 ± 2
minutes period of the test the final hydrocarbon concentration in
the enclosure is measured (CHC,f). The time or elapsed time of this
together with the final temperature and barometric pressure Tfand Pffor the hot soak is recorded.
5.2.12. The heat source is turned off and the enclosure door unsealed and
opened. The heating device and temperature sensor are discon-
nected from the enclosure apparatus. The vehicle doors and
luggage compartment may now be closed and the vehicle
removed from the enclosure with the engine switched off.
5.2.13. The vehicle is prepared for the subsequent driving cycles and hot
soak evaporative emission test. The cold start test must follow the
tank breathing test by a period of not more than one hour.
5.2.14. The regulatory authority may consider that the design of the vehi-
cle's fuel system may allow losses to the outside atmosphere at
any point. In this case an engineering analysis must be carried
out to the satisfaction of the regulatory authority to establish that
vapours are vented to the carbon canister and that these vapours
are adequately purged during vehicle operation.
5.3. Drivingcycle
5.3.1. The determination for evaporative emissions is concluded with
the measurement of hydrocarbon emissions over a 60-minute hot
soak period following an urban and extra-urban driving cycle.
Following the tank breathing losses test, the vehicle is pushed or
otherwise manoeuvred onto the chassis dynamometer with the
engine switched off. It is then driven through a cold start urban
and extra-urban test as described in Annex III. Exhaust emissions
may be sampled during this operation but the results are not used
for the purpose of exhaust emission type approval.
5.4. Hotsoakevaporativeemissionstest
5.4.1. Before the completion of the test run the measuring chamber
must be purged for several minutes until a stable hydrocarbon
background is obtained. The enclosure mixing fan(s) must also
be turned on at this time.
5.4.2. The hydrocarbon analyzer must be zeroed and spanned immedi-
ately prior to the test.
5.4.3. At the end of the driving cycle 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.
5.4.4. The vehicle must be pushed or otherwise moved into the
measuring chamber with the engine switched off.
5.4.5. 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 driving cycle.
5.4.6. The start of a 60 ± 0,5 minute hot soak period begins when the
chamber is sealed. The hydrocarbon concentration, temperature1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 100
▼M9
and barometric pressure are measured to give the initial readings
CHC,i,Piand 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 K and no more than
304 K during the 60-minute hot soak period.
5.4.7. The hydrocarbon analyzer must be zeroed and spanned immedi-
ately before the end of the 60 ± 0,5 minute test period.
5.4.8. At the end of the 60 ± 0,5 minute test period measure the hydro-
carbon concentration in the chamber. The temperature and the
barometric pressure are also measured. These are the final read-
ings CHC,i,Pfand Tffor the hot soak test used for the
calculation in section 6. This completes the evaporative emission
test procedure.
6. CALCULATION
The evaporative emission tests described in section 5 allow the
hydrocarbon emissions from the tank breathing and hot soak
phases to be calculated. Evaporative losses from each of these
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:V:10/C04/C1CHC :f/C1Pf
Tf/C0CHC :i/C1Pi
Ti/C18/C19
where:
MHC= mass of hydrocarbon emitted over the test phase
(grams),
CHC= measured hydrocarbon concentration in the enclosure
(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 m3is
substracted,
T = ambient chamber temperature, K,P = barometric pressure in kPA,
H/C = hydrogen to carbon ratio,
k = 1,2 (12 + H/C);
when:
i is the initial reading,
f is the final reading,
H/C is taken to be 2,33 for tank breathing 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=MTH+MHS
where:M
total= overall mass emissions of the vehicle (grams),
MTH= hydrocarbon mass emission for the tank heat build
(grams),
MHS= hydrocarbon mass emission for the hot soak (grams).

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 be used
are described in this Appendix.
2. CALIBRATION OF THE ENCLOSURE2.1. 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 such as
bracing struts. The internal volume of the chamber is determined
from these measurements.
2.1.2. The net internal volume is determined by subtracting 1,42 m
3
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 item 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. Calibrate the analyzer (if required), then zero and span.
2.2.2. Purge the enclosure until a stable hydrocarbon reading is
obtained. The mixing fan is turned on if not already on.
2.2.3. Seal the chamber and measure the background hydrocarbon
concentration, temperature and barometric pressure. These are
the initial readings CHC,i,Piand Tiused in the enclosure back-
ground calculation.
2.2.4. The enclosure is allowed to stand undisturbed with the mixing fan
on for a period of four hours.
2.2.5. At the end of this time use the same analyzer 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.
2.2.6. Calculate the change in mass of hydrocarbons in the enclosure
over the time of the test according to section 2.4. The background
emission of the enclosure must not exceed 0,4 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.
2.3.1. Purge the enclosure until a stable hydrocarbon concentration is
reached. Turn on the mixing fan, if not already switched on. The
hydrocarbon analyzer is zeroed, calibrated if required, and
spanned.
2.3.2. Seal the enclosure and measure the background concentration,
temperature and barometric pressure. These are the initial read-
ings CHCi,Piand Tiused in the enclosure calibration.1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 104
▼M9
2.3.3. Inject a quantity of approximately 4 grams of propane into the
enclosure. The mass of propane must be measured to an accuracy
and precision of ± 0,5 % of the measured value.
2.3.4. Allow the contents of the chamber to mix for five minutes and
then measure the hydrocarbon concentration, temperature and
barometric pressure. These are the final readings CHC,f,Tfand Pffor the calibration of the enclosure.
2.3.5. Using the readings taken in 2.3.2 and 2.3.4 and the formula in
2.4, calculate the mass of propane in the enclosure. This must be
within ± 2 % of the mass of propane measured in 2.3.3.
2.3.6. Allow the contents of the chamber to mix for a minimum of four
hours. At the end of this period measure and record the final
hydrocarbon concentration, temperature and barometric pressure.
2.3.7. Calculate using the formula in 2.4, the hydrocarbon mass from
the readings taken in 2.3.6 and 2.3.2. The mass may not differ
by more than 4 % from the hydrocarbon mass given by 2.3.5.
2.4. Calculations
The calculation of net hydrocarbon mass change within the enclo-
sure is used to determine the chamber's hydrocarbon background
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.
MHC¼k:V:10/C04/C1CHC ;f/C1Pi

Ti/C18/C19
where:
MHC= hydrocarbon mass in grams,
CHC= hydrocarbon concentration in the enclosure (ppm
carbon (NB: ppm carbon = ppm propane × 3)),
V = enclosure volume in cubic metres,T = ambient temperature in the enclosure, K,
P = barometric pressure, kPa,
k = 17,6;
when:
i is the initial reading,
f is the final reading.
3. CHECKING OF FID HYDROCARBON ANALYZER3.1. 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).
Establish a 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 preconditioned1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 105
▼M9
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:
Propane and nitrogen 0,95 ≤Rf≤1,05.
4. CALIBRATION OF THE HYDROCARBON ANALYZER
Each of the normally used operating ranges are calibrated by the
following procedure:
4.1. Establish the calibration curve by at least five calibration points
spaced as evenly as possible over the operating range. The
nominal 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 each calibration gas.
4.4. Using the coefficients of the polynominal derived from 3.2, a
table of indicated reading against true concentration shall be
drawn upin step s 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 each calibration gas used,the actual and indicated value of each calibration gas used

ANNEX VII
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 VII.5.1) described below:
— the durability test schedule is composed of 11 cycles covering
6 kilometres 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 acceler-
ated again until cycle speed is attained,
— the 10th cycle is carried out at a steady speed of 89 km/h,
— the 11th cycle begins with maximum 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 accel-
eration.
The schedule is then restarted from the beginning. The maximum
speed of each cycle is given in the following Table.

5.1.1. At the request of the manufacturer, an alternative road test sche-
dule 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 accelera-
tions per kilometres as the driving schedule used on track or
roller test bench, as detailed in 5.1 and Figure VII.5.1.
5.1.2. The durability test, or if the manufacturer has chosen, the modi-
fied 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 with systems simu-
lating 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 vehi-
cle'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 with
the type I test as defined in Annex I, section 5.3.1. The limit
values to be complied with are those laid down in section
5.3.1.4 of Annex I. However, the tailpipe emissions may also be
measured in accordance with the provisions of Annex I, section
8.2.
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 dete-
rioration 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 acceptable 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
calculated for each pollutant as follows:
D:E:F:¼Mi2
Mi1
where:
Mi1= mass emission of the pollutant i in grams per km inter-
polated to 6400 km,1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 110
▼M9
Mi2= mass emission of the pollutant i in grams per km inter-
polated to 80000 km.
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 — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 111

where:
d is the density at 288 K/15 ºC,
x is the proportion by mass of water (%/100),y is the proportion by mass of ash (%/100),
s is the proportion by mass of sulphur (%/100).
(2) The values quoted in the specification are ‘true values’. In establishment of their limit
values the terms of ASTM D 3244 ‘Defining a basis for petroleum produce quality disputes’
have been applied and in fixing a minimum value, a minimum difference of 2R above zero
has been taken into account; in fixing a maximum and minimum value, the minimum differ-ence is 4R (R = reproducibility).
Notwithstanding this measure, which is necessary for statistical reasons, the manufacturer of
fuel should nevertheless aim at a zero value where the stipulated maximum value is 2R and
at the mean value in the case of quotations of maximum and minimum limits. Should it be
necessary to clarify the question as to whether a fuel meets the requirements of the specifi-
cation, the terms of ASTM D 3244 should be applied.
(3) The figures quoted show the evaporated quantities (percentage recovered + percentage loss).(4) The range for cetane is not in accordance with the requirement of a minimum range of 4R.
However, in cases of dispute between fuel supplier and fuel user, the terms in ASTM D
3244 can be used to resolve such disputes provided replicate measurements, of sufficient
number to achieve the necessary precision, are made in preference to single determinations.
(5) Equivalent ISO methods will be adopted when issued for all properties listed above.(6) At the request of the vehicle manufacturer, diesel fuel with a 0,05 % mass maximum
sulphur content may be used to represent future market fuel quality, both for type-approval
and for conformity of production testing.1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 113

(7) Even though oxidation stability is controlled, it is likely that shelf life will be limited.
Advice should be sought from the supplier as to storage conditions and life.
(8) This fuel should be based on straight run and cracked hydrocarbon distillate components
only; desulphurization is allowed. It must not contain any metallic additives or cetane
improver additives.1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 114

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 with the 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 with a significant spread within both
ranges; they differ significantly in Wobbe index. These variations are
reflected in the reference fuels.1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 119
▼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 both reference
fuels, so that no correction is needed.
3.2.3. The vehicle shall comply with the emission limits valid for the relevant
category for both measured and calculated emissions.
4. GENERAL CONDITIONS
4.1. Tests for conformity of production may be performed with a 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 — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 120

After this preconditioning, the vehicle(s) shall be kept in a room in which
the temperature remains relatively constant between 293 and 303 K (20
and 30 ºC). This conditioning shall be carried out for at least six hours
and continue until the engine oil and coolant temperature are within
± 2 K of the temperature of the room. Subsequently three type I tests
shall be made.
6.2.2. Exhaust gas test with replacement catalytic converter
The original equipment catalytic converter of the test vehicle(s) shall be
replaced by the replacement catalytic converter (see point 3.3.2) which
shall be run in with 12 extra urban cycles (type I test part 2).
After this preconditioning, the vehicle(s) shall be kept in a room in which
the temperature remains relatively constant between 293 and 303 K (20
and 30 ºC). This conditioning shall be carried out for at least six hours
and continue until the engine oil and coolant temperature are within
± 2 K of the temperature of the room. Subsequently three type I tests
shall be made.
6.2.3. Evaluation of the emission of pollutants of vehicles equipped with repla-
cement catalytic converters
The test vehicle(s) with the original equipment catalytic converter shall
comply with the limit values according to the type-approval of the vehi-
cle(s) including, if applicable, the deterioration factors applied during the
type-approval of the vehicle(s).
The requirements regarding emissions of the vehicle(s) equipped with the
replacement catalytic converter shall be deemed to be fulfilled if the
results meet for each regulated pollutant (CO, HC + NOxand particulates)
the following conditions:
M≤0,85 S + 0,4 G (1)
M≤G (2)
where:
M mean value of the emissions of one pollutant (CO or particulates) or
the sum of two pollutants (HC + NOx) obtained from the three type I
tests with the replacement catalytic converter.
S mean value of the emissions of one pollutant (CO or particulates) or
the sum of two pollutants (HC + NOx) obtained from the three type I
tests with the original catalytic converter.
G limit value of the emissions of one pollutant (CO or particulates) or of
the sum of two pollutants (HC + NOx) according to the type-approval
of the vehicle(s) divided by, if applicable, the deterioration factors
determined in accordance with point 6.4.
Where approval is applied for different types of vehicles from the same
car manufacturer, and provided that these different types of vehicle are
fitted with the same type of original equipment catalytic converter, the
type I test may be limited to at least two vehicles selected after agree-
ment with the technical service responsible for approval.
6.3. Requirements regarding noise and exhaust back-pressure
The replacement catalytic converter shall satisfy the technical require-
ments of Annex II to Directive 70/157/EEC.
6.4. Requirements regarding durability
The replacement catalytic converter shall comply with the requirements
of point 5.3.5 of Annex I to this Directive, i.e. type V test or deterioration
factors from the following table for the results of the type I tests.1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 123

7. MODIFICATION OF THE TYPE AND AMENDMENTS TO
APPROVALS
In the case of modification of the type approved pursuant to this Direc-
tive, the provisions of Article 5 of Directive 70/156/EEC shall apply.
8. CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION
Measures to ensure the conformity of production shall be taken in accor-
dance with the provisions laid down in Article 10 of Directive 70/156/
EEC.
8.2. Special provisions8.2.1. The checks referred to in point 2.2 of Annex X to Directive 70/156/EEC
shall include compliance with the characteristics as defined under point
2.3 to this Annex.
8.2.2. For the application of point 2.4.4 of Annex X to Directive 70/156/EEC,
the tests described in point 6.2 of this Annex (requirements regarding
emissions) may be carried out. In this case, the holder of the approval
may ask, as an alternative, to use as a basis for comparison not the
original equipment catalytic converter, but the replacement catalytic
converter which was used during the type-approval tests (or another
sample that has been proven to conform to the approved type). Emissions
values measured with the sample under verification shall then on average
not exceed by more than 15 % the mean values measured with the
sample used for reference.1970L0220 — EN — 12.11.1998 — 015.001 — 124
