DIRECTIVE 2000/25/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 22 May 2000
on action to be taken against the emission of gaseous and particu-
late pollutants by engines intended to power agricultural or
forestry tractors and amending Council Directive 74/150/EEC
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE
EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and
in particular Article 95 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social
Committee (2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of
the Treaty (3),
Whereas:
(1) To ensure the proper functioning of the internal market, Council
Directive 74/150/EEC of 4 March 1974 on the approximation ofthe laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval ofwheeled agricultural or forestry tractors (
4) and the 22 specific
Directives adopted between 1974 and 1989 harmonised the tech-
nical specifications in this field.
(2) In order to further safeguard the environment, it is necessary to
supplement the measures already adopted by Council Directive77/537/EEC of 28 June 1977 on the approximation of the lawsof the Member States relating to the measures to be taken
against the emission of pollutants from diesel engines for use in
wheeled agricultural or forestry tractors (
5) (opacity of exhaust
gases) with other measures relating, in particular, to physico-chemical emissions. By referring to the provisions of Directive97/68/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of
16 December 1997 on the approximation of the laws of the
Member States relating to measures against the emission ofgaseous and particulate pollutants from internal combustionengines to be installed in non-road mobile machinery (
6), this
Directive lays down the limit values for emissions of gaseousand particulate pollutants to be applied in successive stages, and
the test procedure for internal combustion engines intended to
power agricultural or forestry tractors. Compliance with theprovisions of Council Directive 88/77/EEC of 3 December 1987on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relatingto the measures to be taken against the emission of gaseous
pollutants from diesel engines for use in vehicles (
7), can also
be accepted as compliance with the requirements of this Direc-tive.
(3) In order to facilitate access to third-country markets, it is neces-sary to establish equivalence between the requirements of thisDirective for the first stage and the requirements laid down in2000L0025 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 001.001 — 2

United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE)
Regulation No 96 concerning the component type-approval ofcompression ignition engines intended to be fitted to agricultural
or forestry tractors in terms of their pollutant emissions.
(4) In order to maximise the benefits for the European environment
and, at the same time, to ensure the unity of the market, it isnecessary to adopt very strict mandatory standards at regularintervals. Any further reduction in the limit values and anychanges to the test procedure can be adopted only on the basisof studies and research to be conducted into existing and fore-
seeable technological potential and into the cost effectiveness
thereof, in order to allow production on an industrial scale ofagricultural or forestry tractors that are capable of meeting thesemore stringent limits.
(5) Technical progress requires rapid adaptation of the technicalrequirements set out in the Annexes to this Directive. TheCommission is committed to aligning without delay the limit
values and dates in this Directive to future changes in Directive
97/68/EC. In every case where the European Parliament and theCouncil empower the Commission to implement the rules drawnup for agricultural or forestry tractors, a prior consultation proce-dure involving the Commission and the Member States meetingin committee should be introduced.
(6) The requirements of this Directive supplement those of Directive
77/537/EEC, which is referred to in Item 2.8.1 of Annex II to
Directive 74/150/EEC; Directive 74/150/EEC thus needs to beamended in order to add a new Item 2.8.2 in Annex II coveringthe topic dealt with by this Directive in conjunction with thereference SD (Specific Directive).
(7) The objective of reducing the level of pollutant emissions fromagricultural or forestry tractors and the smooth functioning of the
internal market for such vehicles cannot be sufficiently achieved
by individual Member States and can therefore be betterachieved by the approximation of the laws of the Member Statesrelating to measures to be taken against air pollution by suchvehicles. The measures contained in this Directive do not gobeyond what is necessary to achieve the objectives of the Treaty,
HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

8. ENGINE FAMILY
8.1. Parameters defining the engine family
The engine family may be defined by basic design parameters which
must be common to all engines within the family. In some cases there
may be interaction of parameters. These effects must also be taken into
consideration in order to ensure that only engines with similar exhaust-
emission characteristics are included within an engine family.
For engines to be considered to belong to the same engine family, the
following list of basic parameters must be common.
8.1.1. Combustion cycle: 2 stroke/4 stroke (1)
8.1.2. Cooling medium: air/water/oil (1)
8.1.3. Individual cylinder displacement
— engines to be within a total spread of 15 %
— number of cylinders for engines with after-treatment device
8.1.4. Method of air aspiration: naturally aspirated/pressure charged (1)
8.1.5. Combustion chamber type/design
— pre-chamber
— swirl chamber— open chamber
8.1.6. Valve and porting — configuration, size and number
— cylinder head
— cylinder wall— crankcase
8.1.7. Fuel system
— pump-line-injector
— in-line pump
— distributor pump
— single element— unit injector
8.1.8. Exhaust gas recirculation8.1.9. Water injection/emulsion (
1)
8.1.10. Air injection
8.1.11. Charge cooling system8.1.12. Oxidation catalyst
8.1.13. Reduction catalyst
8.1.14. Thermal reactor8.1.15. Particulates trap
8.2. Choice of parent engine
8.2.1. The parent engine of the family shall be selected using the primary
criterion of the highest fuel delivery per stroke at the declared maximum
torque speed. If two or more engines share this primary criterion, the
parent engine shall be selected using the secondary criterion of highest
fuel delivery per stroke at rated speed. Under certain circumstances, the
approval authority may conclude that the worst-case emission rate of the
family can best be characterised by testing a second engine. Thus, the
approval authority may select an additional engine for tests based on
features which indicate that it may have the highest emission levels of
the engines within that family.
8.2.2. If engines within the family incorporate other variable features which
could be considered to affect exhaust emissions, these features must
also be identified and taken into account in the selection of the parent
engine.2000L0025 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 001.001 — 8

Appendix 3
Marking of engines
1. Any engine approved as a separate technical unit must bear:
1.1. the trade mark or trade name of the engine's manufacturer;1.2. the engine type, and if applicable engine family, and a unique engine
identification number;
1.3. the EC type-approval mark in accordance with Appendix 5 of this
Annex.
2. These marks must last throughout the useful life of the engine and
remain clearly legible and indelible. If labels or plates are used, they
must be affixed in such a way that they too last throughout the useful
life of the engine, and the labels/plates cannot be removed without
destroying or defacing them.
3. The marks must be secured to an engine part that is necessary for normal
engine operation and not normally requiring replacement during engine
life.
These marks must be located so as to be readily visible to the average
person once the engine has been fitted to the tractor, together with all
the accessories needed for engine operation. If a bonnet is to be removed
in order to make the mark visible, this requirement shall be considered to
have been met if removal of that bonnet is simple and does not require
the use of a tool.
In case of doubt concerning the meeting of this requirement, it shall be
considered to have been met if an additional mark containing at least the
engine identification number and the name, trade name or logo of the
manufacturer has been added.
That additional mark shall be affixed to, or next to, a major component
that would not normally have to be replaced during the service life of the
engine, and be easily accessible, without the assistance of tools, during
routine maintenance operations; otherwise, it must be located at a
distance from the original mark on the engine crankcase. The original
mark and, where appropriate, the additional mark shall both be clearly
visible once all of the accessories needed for the operation of the engine
have been fitted. A bonnet meeting the requirements set out in the above
paragraph shall be authorised. The additional mark shall be affixed in a
durable manner preferably directly to the topside of the engine, for
example by means of an engraving, or a sticker or plate that meets the
requirements of Item 2.
4. The engines must be classified by means of their identification numbers
in such a way that the production sequence can be determinated unam-
biguously.
5. Before leaving the production line, the engines must bear all of the
required marks.
6. The exact location of the engine marks shall be declared in the informa-
tion document, in accordance with Annexes I and II.2000L0025 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 001.001 — 20
