(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 pollution
by 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’ was
published 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 thereforenecessary that all Member States adopt the same requirements, either
in 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 motorvehicles 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 Directive
will 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 ofthis Directive;
Whereas, on the basis of that communication, each Member State
requested to grant national type approval of a type of vehicle must beable 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 which
has been tested;
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 cold1970L0220 — EN — 02.12.1976 — 003.001 — 2

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 gaseouspollutants by the engine), annexed to the Agreement of 20 March 1958concerning the adoption of uniform conditions of approval and reci-
procal recognition of approval for motor vehicle equipment and parts;
Whereas, furthermore, the technical requirements must be rapidly
adapted to take account of technical progress; whereas, to this end,provision should be made for application of the procedure laid downin Article 13 of the Council Directive of 6 February 1970 on the type
approval of motor vehicles and their trailers;

4. EXTENSION OF EEC TYPE-APPROVAL
4.1.Vehicle typesofdifferentreference weights
Approval of a vehicle type may, under the following conditions, be
extended to vehicle types which differ from the approved type only
in respect of their reference weight.
4.1.1. Approval may be extended to vehicle types of a reference weight
requiring merely the use of the next higher or next lower equivalent
inertia.
4.1.2. If the reference weight of the vehicle type for which extension of
the approval is requested requires the use of a flywheel of equiva-
lent inertia higher than that used for the vehicle type already
approved, extension of the approval shall be granted.
4.1.3. If the reference weight of the vehicle type for which extension of
the approval is requested requires the use of a flywheel of equiva-
lent inertia lower than that used for the vehicle type already
approved, extension of the approval shall be granted if the masses
of the pollutants obtained from the vehicle already approved are
within the limits prescribed for the vehicle for which extension of
the approval is requested.
4.2.Vehicle typeswithdifferentoverallgearrates
Approval granted in respect of one vehicle type may, under the
following conditions, be extended to vehicle types which differ
from the approved type only in respect of their overall transmission
ratios:
4.2.1. For each transmission ratio used in the Type I test, the equation
E¼V2/C0V1
V1shall be determined where V1and V2are, respectively,
the speed at 1 000 rpm of the engine of the approved vehicle type
and of the vehicle type for which extension of the approval is
requested.
4.2.2. If for each gear ratio E ≤5 %, extension shall be granted without
repeating the Type I tests.
4.2.3. If for at least one gear ratio E > 5 %, and if for each gear ratio E
≤10 %, the Type I tests shall be repeated but may be performed in
a laboratory chosen by the manufacturer, subject to the agreement
of the authorities competent to grant type-approval. The report on
the tests shall be sent to the approved laboratory.1970L0220 — EN — 02.12.1976 — 003.001 — 7

Approval granted in respect of one type of vehicle may be extended
to vehicle types which differ from the approved type only in respect
of their reference weights and their overall transmission ratios,
where all the conditions laid down in items 4.1 and 4.2 above are
fulfilled.
4.4.Note
When a vehicle type has been approved under the provisions of
items 4.1 to 4.3 above, such type approval may not be extended to
other vehicle types.
5. CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION
5.1. As a general rule, conformity of production models, with regard to
limitation of the emission of gaseous pollutants from the engine,
shall be checked on the basis of the description in the communica-
tion set out in Annex VII and, where necessary, of all or some of
the tests of Types I, II and III described in item 3.2.
5.1.1. Conformity of the vehicle in a Type I test shall be checked as
follows:
5.1.1.1. A vehicle shall be taken from the series and subjected to the test

than those of category M1and to vehicles equipped with automatic
transmissions the limits for nitrogen oxide emissions given in the
table of item 5.1.1.1 shall be multiplied by a factor 1·25.
5.1.1.2. If the vehicle selected does not meet the requirements of item
5.1.1.1, the manufacturer may ask for measurements to be made on
a sample of vehicles taken from the series, including the vehicle
originally tested. The manufacturer shall determine the size n of
the sample. Vehicles other than the vehicle originally selected shall
be subjected to a single Type I test.
The result to be taken into account for the vehicle originally tested
shall be the arithmetic mean of the results of the three Type I tests
carried out on the vehicle. The arithmetic mean /C22xx of the results
obtained with the sample and the standard deviation S(1) of the
sample shall then be determined for each gaseous pollutant.
The production of the series shall then be deemed to conform if the

1.2.Generalconditionsforcarryingoutthecycle
Preliminary testing cycles should be carried out if necessary to deter-
mine how best to actuate the accelerator and brake controls so as to
achieve a cycle approximating to the theoretical cycle within the
prescribed limits.
1.3.Useofthegearbox
1.3.1. If the maximum speed which can be attained in first gear is below
15 km/h, the second, third and fourth gears shall be used.
1.3.2. Vehicles equipped with semi-automatic gearboxes shall be tested by
using the ratios normally employed for driving, and the gear lever
shall be operated in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
1.3.3. Vehicles equipped with fully automatic gearboxes shall be tested with
the highest gear (‘Drive’) engaged. The accelerator shall be operated
so as to obtain the steadiest acceleration possible, allowing the
various gears to be engaged in the normal order. Furthermore, the
gear-change points shown in Appendix 1 shall not apply; acceleration
shall continue throughout the period represented by the straight lines
connecting the end of each period of idling with the beginning of the
next period of steady speed. The tolerances given in item 1.4 shall
apply.
1.3.4. Vehicles equipped with an overdrive which can be actuated by the
driver shall be tested with the overdrive out of action.
1.4.Tolerances
1.4.1. A tolerance of 1 km/h above or below the theoretical speed shall be
allowed during acceleration during steady speed, and during decelera-
tion when the vehicle's brakes are applied. If the vehicle decelerates
more rapidly without the use of the brakes, only the requirements of
item 5.6.3 shall apply. Speed tolerances greater than those prescribed
shall be permitted during phase changes provided that the tolerances
are never exceeded for more than 0·5 second on any one occasion.
1.4.2. Time tolerances of ± 0·5 sec. These tolerances shall apply at the
beginning and at the end of each gear-changing period(1).
1.4.3. The speed and time tolerances shall be combined as indicated in

4.1.2. For this purpose the vacuum shall be measured at the engine intake
during a road test carried out at 50 km/h in third gear, or using the
gears specified in item 1.3, the vehicle being loaded to its reference
weight and the tyre pressure being that indicated by the manufacturer.
The vacuum shall be measured when a steady speed on the level has
been maintained for at least fifteen seconds. To take account of the
effects of wind, the average of the results of measurements made
twice in each direction shall be taken.
4.1.3. The vehicle shall then be placed on the dynamometer bench and the
brake so adjusted as to obtain the same vacuum at the intake as that
recorded in the road test referred to item 4.1.2 above. This brake
setting shall be maintained throughout the test.
4.1.4. A check shall be made to verify that the setting of the brake so
obtained is appropriate for other intermediate states between idling1970L0220 — EN — 02.12.1976 — 003.001 — 17

1930 < RW ≤2150 2 040
2150 < RW 2 270
4.3.Conditioningofvehicle
4.3.1. Before the test the vehicle shall be kept at a temperature of between
20 º and 30 ºC for at least six hours. The cooling-water and engine-oil
temperatures shall be measured before the test to make sure that they
are between 20 º and 30 ºC.
4.3.2. The tyre pressure shall, as in the case of the preliminary road test for
brake adjustment, be that indicated by the manufacturer. However, if
the diamter of the rollers is less than 50 cm, the pressure in the tyres
shall be increased by 30-50% to prevent damage to the tyres.
4.4.Checkofback-pressure
During the preliminary tests a check shall be made to ensure that the
back-pressure set up by the sampling device does not exceed 75 mm

speeds prescribed in the cycle.
4.5.Conditioningofbag(s)
4.5.1. ►M2The bag(s) shall ◄be so conditioned, particularly with regard
to hydrocarbons, that hydrocarbon losses over a period of 20 minutes
do not exceed 2% of the initial content. This conditioning shall be
carried out during preliminary tests conducted at temperatures close
to the extreme temperatures encountered during the various tests.
4.5.2. Losses shall be measured as follows. When the engine is running at a
constant (rpm) speed the hydrocarbon content of the gases entering
the bag shall be measured continuously until the bag has been filled.
The content, when filling is completed, must be the average of the
contents recorded during filling. The bag shall be emptied by the
analyser pumps and the content recorded continuously or at fixed
intervals. If after twenty minutes the content has varied by more
than 2%, the bag shall be emptied and then refilled for a second
measurement. This cycle shall be repeated as many times as is neces-
sary to saturate the walls.
4.5.3. Air must be blown into the bag(s) before each test in order the
remove any residual moisture.

▼M2
4.6.1.1. Method ‘A’
4.6.1.1.1. A sampling bag which has not already been used to collect samples of
exhaust gases shall be filled with air (or oxygen) and NO reference
gas, which will be metered in such a way as to enable a mixture lying
within the measuring range of the analyser to be obtained. Enough
oxygen shall be added to enable a good proportion of the NO to be
converted into NO2.
4.6.1.1.2. The bag shall be shaken briskly and be immediately connected to the
sample feed device on the analyser. The NO and NOxconcentrations
shall be measured in turn at one-minute intervals by alternately
passing the sample through the converter and through the bypass
tube. After several minutes the presence of NO and NOxwill be
recorded as shown in the diagram below if the converter is func-
tioning properly. Although the quantity of NO2will be increasing,
the sum NOx=N O+N O2should remain constant. A reduction in
the amount of NOxas the operations proceed would be a sign that
the efficiency of the converter was decreasing and the cause would
have to be determined before the device was used.
Response rate of the check on converter efficiency
4.6.1.2. Method ‘B’
The efficiency of the converter can be verified with the aid of an
ozonizer in accordance with the diagram and method set out below:

(depending on the NO concentration). The inlet pipe for the supply of
O2shall be provided with a shut-off valve (SOV) and each of the inlet
pipes shall also be connected to a metering valve (MV) and a flow-
meter (F).
4.6.1.2.2. At the beginning of the check the SOV shall be closed and MV2 set
in such a way as to obtain a steady reading from the chemilumines-
cent instrument set to ‘bypass’. The device shall be spanned and
calibrated in such a way that it correctly indicates the concentration
of the gas sample used. Note reading (A).
4.6.1.2.3. With the ozonizer off the SOV shall be opened and the O2flow rate
regulated in such a way as to reduce the figure indicated by the
analyser by about 10%. This figure (B) shall be noted. The ozonizer
shall be switched on and its voltage regulated so that the instrument
reading falls to about 20 % of the initial value obtained with the non-
diluted gas. The figure indicated (C) shall be noted.
4.6.1.2.4. The analyser shall be switched to ‘convert’ and the reading (D) shall
again be noted. The ozonizer shall be switched off and the new
reading (E) noted. The SOV shall be closed and the new reading (F)of the instrument noted. The latter reading must be identical with the
initial value (A) unless the gas sample contains NO
2, in which case
the figure indicated will be higher.
4.6.1.2.5. The efficiency of the converter (expressed as a percentage) shall be
given by
D/C0C
E/C0C/C2100 :
4.6.1.3. The efficiency of the converter must be checked at least once a week
and preferably once a day.
►M24.6.2.◄Calibration of analysers.
The quantity of gas at the indicated pressure compatible with the
correct functioning of the equipment shall be injected into the
analyser by means of the discharge gauge and the pressure-reducing
valve mounted on each bottle. The apparatus shall be adjusted to indi-
cate as a stabilised value the value shown on the standard-gas bottle.

1.5.Settingcontrol foridling.
1.5.1. Definition
For the purposes of this Directive, ‘setting controls’ means those parts
which can be used to alter the idling speed of the engine and can be
easily adjusted by an operator using only the tools described under
item 1.5.1.1 below. In particular, devices for calibrating fuel and air
flow rates shall not be regarded as ‘setting controls’ if their adjust-

1.1. The Type III test shall be carried out on the vehicle subjected to the
Type I and the Type II tests.
1.2. The engines tested shall include leak-proof engines other than those so
designed that even a slight leakage may cause unacceptable operating
faults (such as flat-twin engines).
2. TEST CONDITIONS
2.1. Idling shall be regulated in conformity with the manufacturer's recom-
mendations; in the absence of such recommendations it shall be so
regulated as to achieve a maximum vacuum in the intake manifold.
2.2. The measurements shall be performed in the following three sets of
conditions of engine operation:
Condition NoVehicle speed
(km/h)Vacuum at intake
(mm mercury)Weighting factor
1 Idling 0·25
2 50 ± 2 400 ± 8 0·253 50 ± 2 250 ± 8 0·50
2.3. If the engine cannot operate under a vacuum of 400 mm (mercury
gauge) the vacuum shall be so adjusted as to equal that recorded on alevel road at a constant speed of 50 km/h. The vacuum of condition 3in the table above shall be that recorded as specified above multipliedby
250
400¼0/C1625 :
2.4. The engine speed for measurements as referred to under 2 and 3 in item
2.2 shall be selected as the lowest engine speed at which, gear ratios
being taken into account, the vehicle can travel at a speed of 50 km/h
in normal operating conditions.

of conditions, shall be referred to the standard conditions (760 mm
mercury; 0 ºC) by the formula
Q0
n¼QnH
760/C2273
T
3.3. The content by volume of hydrocarbons, t, shall be measured as speci-
fied in item 4.4. If the manufacturer so requests, the crankcase gases
shall not be analysed but shall be assumed to contain 15000 ppm of
hydrocarbons.
3.4. The volume mass (weight per unit volume) of hydrocarbons shall be
assumed to be 3·84 g/litre; for each of the aforementioned sets of condi-
tions the weight of hydrocarbons discharged to the atmosphere shall be
determined by the formula:
Pn=Q′n× t × 3·84,
Q′nbeing the corrected volumes.1970L0220 — EN — 02.12.1976 — 003.001 — 29

shall be measured for the purpose of volume correction as referred to in
item 3.2.
4.4.Measurementofhydrocarboncontent
4.4.1. During emptying as aforesaid the hydrocarbon content shall, if appro-
priate, be measured by means of a non-dispersive n-hexane-sensitised
infra-red analyser. The reading shall be multiplied by the coefficient
1·24 to allow for the absolute hydrocarbons concentration in the crank-
case gases.
4.4.2. The analysers and the reference gases shall meet the conditions laid
down in Annex III, items 3.5.7 and 3.5.8.
4.5.Measurementoffuelconsumption

defined in item 2.2 shall be determined. This weight shall be referred
to the unit time.
4.6.Expressionofresultsofmeasurements
The values Q ′n, in which n relates to each of the conditions referred to
in item 2.2, and the consumptions Cnshall be referred to the same unit
time for the purpose of applying the weighting coefficients and the
calculations for determining the weighted weight of hydrocarbons and
the weighted consumption of fuel.
