(2) Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 requires new light-duty vehicles to comply with new emission limits and makes additional requirements on access to information. The technical requirements take effect in two stages, Euro 5 starting from 1 September 2009 and Euro 6 from 1 September 2014. The specific technical provisions necessary to implement that Regulation should be adopted. Therefore, the present Regulation aims at setting the requirements necessary for the type-approval of Euro 5 and 6 specification vehicles. (3) Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 provides for specific technical requirements relating to the control of emissions from vehicles to be set in its implementing legislation. Therefore, it is appropriate to adopt such requirements. (4) Following the adoption of the main requirements for type approval in Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, it is necessary to establish administrative provisions for EC type-approval of light duty vehicles. These administrative requirements include provisions for conformity of production and in-service conformity to ensure continued good performance of production vehicles. (5) In accordance with Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, it is necessary to establish requirements for type approval of replacement pollution control devices so as to ensure that they function correctly. (6) In accordance with Articles 6 and 7 of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, it is also necessary to establish requirements to ensure that vehicle on board diagnostic (OBD) and vehicle repair and maintenance information is readily accessible, so as to ensure that independent operators have access to such information. (7) In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, the measures provided for in this Regulation regarding access to vehicle repair and maintenance information, information for diagnostic tools and the compatibility of replacement parts with vehicle OBD systems, should not be restricted to emissions-related components and systems but cover all aspects of a vehicle subject to type-approval within the scope of this Regulation. (8) As provided by Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, recalibrated limit values for particulate mass and new limit values for number of particles emitted are introduced. (9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Technical Committee — Motor Vehicles established by Article 40 of Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 September 2007 establishing a framework for the approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles (Framework Directive) ( 3 ). (10) A Forum should be established to examine any concerns raised regarding the implementation of section 2.2 of Annex XIV, concerning access information relating to vehicle security features. The information exchange in the Forum should help to reduce the risk of misuse of vehicle security information. Due to the sensitivity of the subject matter it might be necessary to keep discussions and findings of the Forum confidential. Whereas: HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

ANNEX I

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS FOR EC TYPE-APPROVAL

1. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR GRANTING OF EC TYPE-APPROVAL

1.1. Additional requirements for mono fuel gas vehicles and bi fuel gas vehicles

1.1.1. For the purposes of section 1.1 the following definitions shall apply: 1.1.1.1. A family means a group of vehicle types fuelled by LPG, NG/biomethane identified by a parent vehicle. 1.1.1.2. 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. 1.1.1.3. A member of the family means a vehicle that shares the following essential characteristics with its parent: (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; (d) 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; (e) If fitted with a catalyst system, it has the same type of catalyst i.e. three-way, oxidation, de NOx; (f) 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); (g) This gas fuelling system is controlled by an ECU of the same type and technical specification, containing the same software principles and control strategy. The vehicle may have a second ECU compared to the parent vehicle, provided that the ECU is only used to control the injectors, additional shut-off valves and the data acquisition from additional sensors. With regard to the requirements referred to in point (c) and (d), 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.

1.1.2. In case of vehicles fuelled by LPG, NG/biomethane EC type-approval is granted subject to the following requirements: 1.1.2.1. For the type-approval of a parent vehicle, the parent vehicle shall 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. 1.1.2.2. The parent vehicle shall be tested in the type 1 test on the two extreme gas reference fuels set out in Annex IX. In the case of NG/biomethane, if the transition from one gas fuel to the other gas fuel is in practice aided through the use of a switch, this switch shall not be used during type-approval. 1.1.2.3. The vehicle is considered to conform if, with both reference fuels, the vehicle complies with the emission limits. 1.1.2.4. The ratio of emission results ‘r’ shall be determined for each pollutant as follows:



Type of fuel Reference fuels Calculation of ‘r’ LPG fuel A r = BA fuel B NG/Biomethane fuel G20 r = G25G20 fuel G25

1.1.3. For the type-approval of a mono fuel gas vehicle and bi fuel gas vehicles operating in gas mode as a member of the family, a type 1 test shall be performed with one gas reference fuel. This reference fuel may be either of the gas reference fuels. The vehicle is considered to comply if the following requirements are met: (a) the vehicle complies with the definition of a family member as defined in section 1.1.1.3; (b) if the test fuel is the reference fuel A for LPG or G20 for NG/Biomethane, the emission result for each pollutant shall be multiplied by the relevant factor ‘r’ calculated in section 1.1.2.4 if r > 1; if r < 1, no correction is needed; (c) if the test fuel is the reference fuel B for LPG or G25 for NG/Biomethane, the emission result for each pollutant shall be divided by the relevant factor ‘r’ calculated in section 1.1.2.4 if r < 1; if r > 1, no correction is needed; (d) on the manufacturer’s request the type 1 test may be performed on both reference fuels, so that no correction is needed; (e) the vehicle shall comply with the emission limits valid for the relevant category for both measured and calculated emissions; (f) if repeated tests are made on the same engine the results on reference fuel G20, or A, and those on reference fuel G25, or B, shall first be averaged; the ‘r’ factor shall then be calculated from these averaged results; (g) during the type 1 test the vehicle shall only use petrol for a maximum of 60 seconds when operating in gas mode.

1.2. Additional requirements for flex fuel vehicles

1.2.1. For the type-approval of a flex fuel ethanol or biodiesel vehicle, the vehicle manufacturer shall describe the capability of the vehicle to adapt to any mixture of petrol and ethanol fuel (up to an 85 % ethanol blend) or diesel and biodiesel that may occur across the market.

1.2.2. For flex fuel vehicles, the transition from one reference fuel to another between the tests shall take place without manual adjustment of the engine settings.
