5. SPECIFICATIONS AND TESTS

Note: As an alternative to the requirements of this paragraph, vehicle manufacturers whose world-wide annual production is less than 10 000 units may obtain approval on the basis of the corresponding technical requirements specified in: the California Code of Regulations, Title 13, Paragraphs 1960.1 (f) (2) or (g) (1) and (g) (2), 1960.1 (p) applicable to 1996 and later model-year vehicles, 1968.1, 1976 and 1975, applicable to 1995 and later model year light-duty vehicles (California Code of Regulations is published by Barclays Publishing).

5.1. General

5.1.1. The components liable to affect the emission of pollutants shall be so designed, constructed and assembled as to enable the vehicle, in normal use, despite the vibration to which they may be subjected, to comply with the provisions of this Regulation.

The technical measures taken by the manufacturer shall be such as to ensure that in conformity with the provisions of this Regulation, exhaust gas and evaporative emissions are effectively limited throughout the normal life of the vehicle and under normal conditions of use. This will include the security of those hoses and their joints and connections, used within the emission control systems, which shall be so constructed as to conform with the original design intent. For exhaust emissions, these provisions are deemed to be met if the provisions of paragraphs 5.3.1.4. and 8.2.3.1. respectively are complied with. For evaporative emissions, these conditions are deemed to be met if the provisions of paragraphs 5.3.1.4. and 8.2.3.1. respectively are complied with.

5.1.2.1. The use of a defeat device is prohibited.

Inlet orifices of petrol tanks

5.1.3.1. Subject to paragraph 5.1.3.2., the inlet orifice of the petrol tank shall be so designed as to prevent the tank from being filled from a petrol pump delivery nozzle which has an external diameter of 23,6 mm or greater.

Paragraph 5.1.3.1. shall not apply to a vehicle in respect of which both of the following conditions are satisfied, i.e.:

5.1.3.2.1. the vehicle is so designed and constructed that no device designed to control the emission of gaseous pollutants shall be adversely affected by leaded petrol, and;

5.1.3.2.2. 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 petrol tank. Additional markings are permitted.

Provision shall be made to prevent excess evaporative emissions and fuel spillage caused by a missing fuel filler cap.

This may be achieved by using one of the following:

5.1.4.1. an automatically opening and closing, non-removable fuel filler cap,

5.1.4.2. design features which avoid excess evaporative emissions in the case of a missing fuel filler cap,

5.1.4.3. any other provision which has the same effect. Examples may include, but are not limited to, a tethered filler cap, a chained filler cap or one utilising the same locking key for the filler cap as for the vehicle's ignition. In this case, the key shall be removable from the filler cap only in the locked condition.

Provisions for electronic system security

5.1.5.1. Any vehicle with an emission control computer shall include features to deter modification, except as authorised by the manufacturer. The manufacturer shall authorise modifications if these modifications are necessary for the diagnosis, servicing, inspection, retrofitting or repair of the vehicle. Any reprogrammable computer codes or operating parameters shall be resistant to tampering and afford a level of protection at least as good as the provisions in ISO DIS 15031-7, dated October 1998 (SAE J2186 dated October 1996), provided that the security exchange is conducted using the protocols and diagnostic connector as prescribed in paragraph 6.5. of Annex 11, Appendix 1. Any removable calibration memory chips shall be potted, encased in a sealed container or protected by electronic algorithms and shall not be changeable without the use of specialised tools and procedures.

5.1.5.2. Computer-coded engine operating parameters shall not be changeable without the use of specialised tools and procedures (e. g. soldered or potted computer components or sealed (or soldered) computer enclosures).

5.1.5.3. In the case of mechanical fuel-injection pumps fitted to compression-ignition engines, manufacturers shall take adequate steps to protect the maximum fuel delivery setting from tampering while a vehicle is in service.

5.1.5.4. Manufacturers may apply to the approval authority for an exemption to one of these requirements for those vehicles which are unlikely to require protection. The criteria that the approval authority will evaluate in considering an exemption will include, but are not limited to, the current availability of performance chips, the high-performance capability of the vehicle and the projected sales volume of the vehicle.

5.1.5.5. Manufacturers using programmable computer code systems (e.g. Electrical Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory, EEPROM) shall deter unauthorised reprogramming. Manufacturers shall include enhanced tamper protection strategies and write protect features requiring electronic access to an off-site computer maintained by the manufacturer. Methods giving an adequate level of tamper protection will be approved by the authority.

5.1.6. It shall be possible to inspect the vehicle for roadworthiness test in order to determine its performance in relation to the data collected in accordance with paragraph 5.3.7. of this Regulation. If this inspection requires a special procedure, this shall be detailed in the service manual (or equivalent media). This special procedure shall not require the use of special equipment other than that provided with the vehicle

The vehicle is placed on a chassis dynamometer equipped with a means of load and inertia simulation.

A test lasting a total of 19 minutes and 40 seconds, made up of 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 variation in the composition of LPG or NG, as set out in Annex 12. Vehicles that can be fuelled either with petrol or LPG or NG shall be tested on both the fuels, tests on LPG or NG being performed for variation in the composition of LPG or NG, as set out in Annex 12.

5.3.1.2.1.2. Notwithstanding the requirement of paragraph 5.3.1.2.1.1., vehicles that can be fuelled with either petrol or a gaseous fuel, but where the petrol system is fitted for emergency purposes or starting only and 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 up of 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 up of one extra-urban cycle. The extra-urban cycle comprises 13 phases (idling, acceleration, steady speed, deceleration, etc.).

5.3.1.2.4. During the test, the exhaust gases are diluted and a proportional sample collected in one or more bags. The exhaust gases of the vehicle tested are diluted, sampled and analysed, following the procedure described below, and the total volume of the diluted exhaust is measured. Not only the carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide emissions but also the particulate pollutant emissions from vehicles equipped with compression-ignition engines are recorded.

5.3.1.3. The test is carried out using the procedure described in Annex 4. The methods used to collect and analyse the gases and to remove and weigh the particulates shall be as prescribed.

Subject to the requirements of paragraph 5.3.1.5. the test shall be repeated three times. The results are multiplied by the appropriate deterioration factors obtained from paragraph 5.3.6. and, in the case of periodically regenerating systems as defined in paragraph 2.20., also must be multiplied by the factors Ki obtained from Annex 13. The resulting masses of gaseous emissions and, in the case of vehicles equipped with compression-ignition engines, the mass of particulates obtained in each test shall be less than the limits shown in the table below:

Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraph 5.3.1.4., for each pollutant or combination of pollutants, one of the three resulting masses obtained may exceed, by not more than 10 per cent, the limit prescribed, provided the arithmetical mean of the three results is below the prescribed limit. Where the prescribed limits are exceeded for more than one pollutant, it is immaterial whether this occurs in the same test or in different tests.

5.3.1.4.2. When the tests are performed with gaseous fuels, the resulting mass of gaseous emissions shall be less than the limits for petrol-engined vehicles in the above table.

The number of tests prescribed in paragraph 5.3.1.4. is reduced in the conditions hereinafter defined, where V1 is the result of the first test and V2 the result of the second test for each pollutant or for the combined emission of two pollutants subject to limitation.

5.3.1.5.1. Only one test is performed if the result obtained for each pollutant or for the combined emission of two pollutants subject to limitation, is less than or equal to 0,70 L (i.e. V1 ≤ 0,70 L).

5.3.1.5.2. If the requirement of paragraph 5.3.1.5.1. is not satisfied, only two tests are performed if, for each pollutant or for the combined emission of two pollutants subject to limitation, the following requirements are met:

The Part One test is described in Annex 4, Appendix 1 and illustrated in figures 1/1, 1/2 and 1/3 of the Appendix. The low ambient temperature test lasting a total of 780 seconds shall be carried out without interruption and start at engine cranking.

5.3.5.1.3. The low ambient temperature test shall be carried out at an ambient test temperature of 266 K (–7 °C). Before the test is carried out, the test vehicles shall be conditioned in a uniform manner to ensure that the test results may be reproducible. The conditioning and other test procedures are carried out as described in Annex 8.

5.3.5.1.4. During the test, the exhaust gases are diluted and a proportional sample collected. The exhaust gases of the vehicle tested are diluted, sampled and analysed, following the procedure described in Annex 8, and the total volume of the diluted exhaust is measured. The diluted exhaust gases are analysed for carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons.

Subject to the requirements in paragraphs 5.3.5.2.2. and 5.3.5.3. the test shall be performed three times. The resulting mass of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emission shall be less than the limits shown in the table below:

Test temperature Carbon monoxide L1 (g/km) Hydrocarbons L2 (g/km) 266 K (–7 °C) 15 18

This test shall be carried out on all vehicles referred to in paragraph 1 to which the test specified in paragraph 5.3.1. applies. The test represents an ageing test of 80 000 kilometres driven in accordance with the programme described in Annex 9 on a test track, on the road or on a chassis dynamometer.

5.3.6.1.1. Vehicles that can be fuelled either with petrol or with LPG or NG should be tested in the Type V test on petrol only. In that case the deterioration factor found with unleaded petrol will also be taken for LPG or NG.

5.3.6.2. Notwithstanding the requirement of paragraph 5.3.6.1., a manufacturer may choose to have the deterioration factors from the following table used as an alternative to testing to paragraph 5.3.6.1.

Deterioration factors Pollutant CO HC NO× HC + NO× (10) Particulates Engine Category Positive-ignition engine 1,2 1,2 1,2 — — Compression-ignition engine 1,1 — 1 1 1,2

At the request of the manufacturer, the technical service may carry out the Type I test before the Type V test has been completed using the deterioration factors in the table above. On completion of the Type V test, the technical service may then amend the type approval results recorded in Annex 2 by replacing the deterioration factors in the above table with those measured in the Type V test.

5.3.6.3. Deterioration factors are determined using either procedure in paragraph 5.3.6.1. or using the values in the table in paragraph 5.3.6.2. The factors are used to establish compliance with the requirements of paragraphs 5.3.1.4. and 8.2.3.1.

8.1. Every vehicle bearing an approval mark as prescribed under this Regulation shall conform, with regard to components affecting the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants by the engine, emissions from the crankcase and evaporative emissions, to the vehicle type approved. The conformity of production procedures shall comply with those set out in the 1958 Agreement, Appendix 2 (E/ECE/324-E/ECE/TRANS/505/Rev.2), with the following requirements:

As a general rule, conformity of production with regard to limitation of emissions from the vehicle (test Types I, II, III and IV) is checked based on the description given in the communication form and its annexes.

Conformity of in-service vehicles

With reference to type approvals granted for emissions, these measures shall also be appropriate for confirming the functionality of the emission control devices during the normal useful life of the vehicles under normal conditions of use (conformity of in-service vehicles properly maintained and used). For the purpose of this Regulation these measures shall be checked for a period of up to 5 years of age or 80 000 km, whichever is the sooner, and from 1 January 2005, for a period of up to five years of age or 100 000 km, whichever is the sooner.

Audit of in-service conformity by the administrative department is conducted on the basis of any relevant information that the manufacturer has, under procedures similar to those defined in Appendix 2 of the 1958 Agreement (E/ECE/324-E/ECE/TRANS/505/Rev.2).

8.2.2. The information gathered by the manufacturer must be sufficiently comprehensive to ensure that in-service performance can be assessed for normal conditions of use as defined in paragraph 8.2. and in a way representative of the manufacturer's geographic penetration.

For the purpose of this Regulation, the manufacturer shall not be obliged to carry out an audit of in-service conformity for a vehicle type if he can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the type-approval authority that the annual worldwide sales of that vehicle type are less than 10 000 per annum.

In the case of vehicles to be sold within the European Union, the manufacturer shall not be obliged to carry out an audit in-service conformity for a vehicle type if he can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the type-approval authority that the annual sales of that vehicle type is less than 5 000 per annum within the European Union.

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

Checking the conformity of the vehicle for a Type I test.

After selection by the authority, the manufacturer shall not undertake any adjustment to the vehicles selected.

For hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), the tests shall be carried out under the conditions determined in Annex 14:

— For OVC vehicles, the measurements of emissions of pollutants shall be carried out with the vehicle conditioned according to condition B of the Type I test for OVC hybrid vehicles.

— For NOVC vehicles, the measurements of emissions of pollutants shall be carried out under the same conditions as in the Type I test for NOVC vehicles.

Three vehicles are selected at random in the series and are tested as described in paragraph 5.3.1. The deterioration factors are used in the same way. The limit values are given in paragraph 5.3.1.4.

8.2.3.1.1.1. In the case of periodically regenerating systems as defined in paragraph 2.20., the results shall be multiplied by the factors Ki obtained by the procedure specified in Annex 13 at the time when type approval was granted.

At the request of the manufacturer, testing may be carried out immediately after a regeneration has been completed.

8.2.3.1.2. If the authority is satisfied with the production standard deviation given by the manufacturer in accordance with paragraph 8.2.1. above, the tests are carried out according to Appendix 1.

If the authority is not satisfied with the production standard deviation given by the manufacturer in accordance with paragraph 8.2.1. above, the tests are carried out according to Appendix 2.

8.2.3.1.3. The production of a series is deemed to conform or not to conform on the basis of a sampling test of the vehicles once a pass decision is reached for all the pollutants or a fail decision is reached for one pollutant, according to the test criteria applied in the appropriate Appendix.

When a pass decision has been reached for one pollutant, that decision will not be changed by any additional tests carried out to reach a decision for the other pollutants.

If no pass decision is reached for all the pollutants and no fail decision is reached for one pollutant, a test is carried out on another vehicle (see Figure 2 below).

Figure 2

Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraph 3.1.1. of Annex 4, the tests will be carried out on vehicles coming straight off the production line.

8.2.3.2.1. 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 15 000 km for vehicles equipped with a compression-ignition engine.

In both these cases, the running-in procedure will be conducted by the manufacturer, who shall undertake not to make any adjustments to these vehicles.

8.2.3.2.2. 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 ≤ 15 000 km for vehicles equipped with a compression-ignition engine), the procedure will be as follows:

(a) the pollutant emissions (Type I) will be measured at zero and at ‘x’ km on the first tested vehicle,

(b) 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,

(c) the other vehicles will not be run-in, but their zero km emissions will be multiplied by the evolution coefficient. In this case, the values to be taken will be: (i) the values at ‘x’ km for the first vehicle, (ii) the values at zero km multiplied by the evolution coefficient for the other vehicles.

8.2.3.2.3. All these tests may be conducted with commercial fuel. However, at the manufacturer's request, the reference fuels described in Annex 10 may be used.

(i) If a Type III test is to be carried out, it shall be conducted on all vehicles selected for the Type I COP test. The conditions laid down in paragraph 5.3.3.2. shall be complied with. For hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), the tests shall be carried out under the conditions determined in Annex 14, paragraph 5.

(ii) If a Type IV test is to be carried out, it shall be conducted in accordance with paragraph 7. of Annex 7.

8.2.4. When tested in accordance with Annex 7, the average evaporative emissions for all production vehicles of the type approved shall be less than the limit value in paragraph 5.3.4.2.

8.2.5. For routine end-of-production-line testing, the holder of the approval may demonstrate compliance by sampling vehicles which meet the requirements in paragraph 7. of Annex 7.

On-board diagnostics (OBD)

If a verification of the performance of the OBD system is to be carried out, it shall be conducted in accordance with the following:

8.2.6.1. When the approval authority determines that the quality of production seems unsatisfactory a vehicle is randomly taken from the series and subjected to the tests described in Annex 11, Appendix 1.

For hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), the tests shall be carried out under the conditions determined in Annex 14, paragraph 9.

8.2.6.2. The production is deemed to conform if this vehicle meets the requirements of the tests described in Annex 11, Appendix 1.

8.2.6.3. If the vehicle taken from the series does not satisfy the requirements of paragraph 8.2.6.1., a further random sample of four vehicles shall be taken from the series and subjected to the tests described in Annex 11, Appendix 1. The tests may be carried out on vehicles which have been run in for no more than 15 000 km.

8.2.6.4. The production is deemed to conform if at least 3 vehicles meet the requirements of the tests described in Annex 11, Appendix 1.

On the basis of the audit referred to in paragraph 8.2.1., the administrative department must either:

— decide that the in-service conformity of a vehicle type or a vehicle in-service family is satisfactory and not take any further action;

— decide that the data provided by the manufacturer is insufficient to reach a decision and request additional information or test data from the manufacturer, or

— decide that the in-service conformity of a vehicle type, or vehicle type(s) that is/are part of an in-service family, is unsatisfactory and proceed to have such vehicle type(s) tested in accordance with Appendix 3.

In the case that the manufacturer has been permitted to not carry out an audit for a particular vehicle type in accordance with paragraph 8.2.2., the administrative department may proceed to have such vehicle types tested in accordance with Appendix 3.

8.2.7.1. Where Type I tests are considered necessary to check the conformity of emission control devices with the requirements for their performance while in service, such tests shall be carried out using a test procedure meeting the statistical criteria defined in Appendix 4.

8.2.7.2. The type approval authority, in co-operation with the manufacturer, shall select a sample of vehicles with sufficient mileage whose use under normal conditions can be reasonably assured. The manufacturer shall be consulted on the choice of the vehicles in the sample and be allowed to attend the confirmatory checks of the vehicles.

The manufacturer is authorised, under the supervision of the type approval authority, to carry out checks, even of a destructive nature, on those vehicles with emission levels in excess of the limit values with a view to establishing possible causes of deterioration which cannot be attributed to the manufacturer himself (e.g. use of leaded petrol before the test date). Where the results of the checks confirm such causes, those test results are excluded from the conformity check.

8.2.7.3.1. The test results shall also be excluded from the conformity check of vehicles within the sample:

(i) that been issued an approval certificate indicating compliance with the emission limits of category A in paragraph 5.3.1.4. of the 05 series of amendments to Regulation provided that those vehicles have been regularly operated on fuel having a sulphur level exceeding 150 mg/kg (petrol fuel) or 350 mg/kg (diesel fuel), or

(ii) that have been issued with an approval certificate indicating compliance with the emission limits of category B in paragraph 5.3.1.4. of the 05 series of amendments to Regulation provided that those vehicles have been regularly operated on petrol or diesel fuel having a sulphur level exceeding 50 mg/kg.

8.2.7.4. Where the type approval authority is not satisfied with the results of the tests in accordance with the criteria defined in Appendix 4, the remedial measures referred to in Appendix 2 of the 1958 Agreement (E/ECE/324-E/ECE/TRANS/505/Rev.2) are extended to vehicles in service belonging to the same vehicle type which are likely to be affected with the same defects in accordance with paragraph 6. of Appendix 3.

The plan of remedial measures presented by the manufacturer shall be approved by the type approval authority. The manufacturer is responsible for the execution of the remedial plan as approved.

The type approval authority shall notify its decision to all Parties to the Agreement within 30 days. The Parties to the Agreement may require the same plan of remedial measures be applied to all vehicles of the same type registered in their territory.

8.2.7.5. If a Party to the Agreement has established that a vehicle type does not conform to the applicable requirements of Appendix 3, it shall notify without delay the Party to the Agreement which granted the original type approval in accordance with the requirements of the Agreement.

Then, subject to the provision of the Agreement, the competent authority of the Party to the Agreement which granted the original type approval shall inform the manufacturer that a vehicle type fails to satisfy the requirements of these provisions and that certain measures are expected of the manufacturer. The manufacturer shall submit to the authority, within two months after this notification, a plan of measures to overcome the defects, the substance of which should correspond to the requirements of paragraphs 6.1. to 6.8. of Appendix 3. The competent authority which granted the original type approval shall, within two months, consult the manufacturer in order to secure agreement on a plan of measures and on carrying out the plan. If the competent authority which granted the original type approval establishes that no agreement can be reached, the relevant procedures to the Agreement shall be initiated.

9. PENALTIES FOR NON-CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION

9.1. The approval granted in respect of a vehicle type pursuant to this amendment, may be withdrawn if the requirements laid down in paragraph 8.1. above are not complied with or if the vehicle or vehicles taken fail to pass the tests prescribed in paragraph 8.2. above.

9.2. If a Party to the Agreement which applies this Regulation withdraws an approval it has previously granted, it shall forthwith so notify the other Contracting Parties applying this Regulation, by means of a communication form conforming to the model in Annex 2 to this Regulation.

10. PRODUCTION DEFINITELY DISCONTINUED

If the holder of the approval completely ceases to manufacture a type of vehicle approved in accordance with this Regulation, he shall so inform the authority which granted the approval. Upon receiving the relevant communication, that authority shall inform thereof the other Parties to the 1958 Agreement applying this Regulation by means of copies of the communication form conforming to the model in Annex 2 to this Regulation.

Appendix 1 Procedure for verifying the conformity of production requirements if the production standard deviation given by the manufacturer is satisfactory 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 per cent of the production defective is 0,95 (producer's risk = 5 per cent) while the probability of a lot being accepted with 65 per cent of the production defective is 0,10 (consumer's risk = 10 per cent). 3. For each of the pollutants given in paragraph 5.3.1.4. of this Regulation, the following procedure is used (see Figure 2 of this Regulation). 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: Then: 5.1. If the test statistic is greater than the pass decision number for the sample size given in Table (1/1 below), the pollutant is passed, 5.2. If the test statistic is less than the fail decision number for the sample size given in Table (1/1 below), the pollutant is failed; otherwise, an additional vehicle is tested and the calculation reapplied to the sample with a sample size one unit greater.

Appendix 2 Procedure for verifying the conformity of production requirements if the production standard deviation given by the manufacturer is either not satisfactory or not available 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 not satisfactory or not available. 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 per cent of the production defective is 0,95 (producer's risk = 5 per cent) while the probability of a lot being accepted with 65 per cent of the production defective is 0,10 (consumer's risk = 10 per cent). 3. The measurements of the pollutants given in paragraph 5.3.1.4. of this Regulation are considered to be log normally distributed and shall first be transformed by taking their natural logarithms. Let m0 and 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, …, xi and L is the natural logarithm of the limit value for the pollutant, then define: di = xi – L and 5. Table 1/2 shows values of the pass (An) and fail (Bn) decision numbers against current sample number. The test statistic is the ratio and shall be used to determine whether the series has passed or failed as follows: For mo ≤ n ≤ m (i) Pass the series if (ii) Fail the series if (iii) Take another measurement if 6. Remarks The following recursive formulae are useful for computing successive values of the test statistic: (n = 2,3 …; ; V1 = 0) Table 1/2 Minimum sample size = 3 Sample size (n) Pass decision threshold (An) Fail decision threshold (Bn) 3 –0,80381 16,64743 4 –0,76339 7,68627 5 –0,72982 4,67136 6 –0,69962 3,25573 7 –0,67129 2,45431 8 –0,64406 1,94369 9 –0,61750 1,59105 10 –0,59135 1,33295 11 –0,56542 1,13566 12 –0,53960 0,97970 13 –0,51379 0,85307 14 –0,48791 0,74801 15 –0,46191 0,65928 16 –0,43573 0,58321 17 –0,40933 0,51718 18 –0,38266 0,45922 19 –0,35570 0,40788 20 –0,32840 0,36203 21 –0,30072 0,32078 22 –0,27263 0,28343 23 –0,24410 0,24943 24 –0,21509 0,21831 25 –0,18557 0,18970 26 –0,15550 0,16328 27 –0,12483 0,13880 28 –0,09354 0,11603 29 –0,06159 0,09480 30 –0,02892 0,07493 31 –0,00449 0,05629 32 –0,03876 0,03876

Appendix 3 In-service conformity check 1. INTRODUCTION This Appendix sets out the criteria referred to in paragraph 8.2.7. of this Regulation regarding the selection of vehicles for testing and the procedures for the in-service conformity control. 2. SELECTION CRITERIA The criteria for acceptance of a selected vehicle are defined in paragraphs 2.1. to 2.8. of this Appendix. Information is collected by vehicle examination and an interview with the owner/driver. 2.1. The vehicle shall belong to a vehicle type that is type approved under this Regulation and covered by a certificate of conformity in accordance with the 1958 Agreement. It shall be registered and used in a country of the Contracting Parties. 2.2. The vehicle shall have been in service for at least 15 000 km or 6 months, whichever is the later, and for no more than 80 000 km or 5 years, whichever is the sooner. 2.3. There shall be a maintenance record to show that the vehicle has been properly maintained, e.g. has been serviced in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. 2.4. The vehicle shall exhibit no indications of abuse (e.g. racing, overloading, misfuelling, or other misuse), or other factors (e.g. tampering) that could affect emission performance. In the case of vehicles fitted with an OBD system, the fault code and mileage information stored in the computer is taken into account. A vehicle shall not be selected for testing if the information stored in the computer shows that the vehicle has operated after a fault code was stored and a relatively prompt repair was not carried out. 2.5. There shall have been no unauthorised major repair to the engine or major repair of the vehicle. 2.6. The lead content and sulphur content of a fuel sample from the vehicle tank shall meet applicable standards and there shall be no evidence of misfuelling. Checks may be done in the exhaust, etc. 2.7. There shall be no indication of any problem that might jeopardise the safety of laboratory personnel. 2.8. All anti-pollution system components on the vehicle shall be in conformity with the applicable type approval. 3. DIAGNOSIS AND MAINTENANCE Diagnosis and any normal maintenance necessary shall be performed on vehicles accepted for testing, prior to measuring exhaust emissions, in accordance with the procedure laid down in paragraphs 3.1. to 3.7. below. 3.1. The following checks shall be carried out: checks on air filter, all drive belts, all fluid levels, radiator cap, all vacuum hoses and electrical wiring related to the anti-pollution system for integrity; checks on ignition, fuel metering and anti-pollution device components for maladjustments and/or tampering. All discrepancies shall be recorded. 3.2. The OBD system shall be checked for proper functioning. Any malfunction indications in the OBD memory shall be recorded and the requisite repairs shall be carried out. If the OBD malfunction indicator registers a malfunction during a preconditioning cycle, the fault may be identified and repaired. The test may be re-run and the results of that repaired vehicle used. 3.3. The ignition system shall be checked and defective components replaced, for example spark plugs, cables, etc. 3.4. The compression shall be checked. If the result is unsatisfactory the vehicle is rejected. 3.5. The engine parameters shall be checked to the manufacturer's specifications and adjusted if necessary. 3.6. If the vehicle is within 800 km of a scheduled maintenance service, that service shall be performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Regardless of odometer reading, the oil and air filter may be changed at the request of the manufacturer. 3.7. Upon acceptance of the vehicle, the fuel shall be replaced with appropriate emission test reference fuel, unless the manufacturer accepts the use of market fuel. In the case of vehicles equipped with periodically regenerating systems as defined in paragraph 2.20., it shall be established that the vehicle is not approaching a regeneration period. (The manufacturer must be given the opportunity to confirm this). 3.8.1. If this is the case, the vehicle must be driven until the end of the regeneration. If a regeneration occurs during emissions measurement, then a further test must be carried out to ensure that regeneration has been completed. A complete new test shall then be performed, and the first and second test results not taken into account. 3.8.2. As an alternative to paragraph 3.8.1., if the vehicle is approaching a regeneration the manufacturer may request that a specific conditioning cycle is used to ensure that regeneration (e.g. this may involve high speed, high load driving). The manufacturer may request that testing may be carried out immediately after regeneration or after the conditioning cycle specified by the manufacturer and normal test preconditioning. 4. IN-SERVICE TESTING 4.1. When a check on vehicles is deemed necessary, emission tests in accordance with Annex 4 to this Regulation are performed on pre-conditioned vehicles selected in accordance with the requirements of paragraphs 2. and 3. of this Appendix. 4.2. Vehicles equipped with an OBD system may be checked for proper in-service functionality of the malfunction indication, etc., in relation to levels of emissions (e.g. the malfunction indication limits defined in Annex 11 to this Regulation) for the type approved specifications. 4.3. The OBD system may be checked, for example, for levels of emissions above the applicable limit values with no malfunction indication, systematic erroneous activation of the malfunction indication and identified faulty or deteriorated components in the OBD system. 4.4. If a component or system operates in a manner not covered by the particulars in the type approval certificate and/or information package for such vehicle types and such deviation has not been authorised under the 1958 Agreement, with no malfunction indication by the OBD, the component or system shall not be replaced prior to emission testing, unless it is determined that the component or system has been tampered with or abused in such a manner that the OBD does not detect the resulting malfunction. 5. EVALUATION OF RESULTS 5.1. The test results are submitted to the evaluation procedure in accordance with Appendix 4. 5.2. Test results shall not be multiplied by deterioration factors. 5.3. In the case of periodically regenerating systems as defined in paragraph 2.20., the results shall be multiplied by the factors Ki obtained at the time when type approval was granted. 6. PLAN OF REMEDIAL MEASURES 6.1. When more than one vehicle is found to be an outlying emitter that either, — meets the conditions of paragraph 3.2.3. of Appendix 4 and where both the administrative department and the manufacturer agree that the excess emission is due to the same cause, or — meets the conditions of paragraph 3.2.4. of Appendix 4 where the administrative department has determined that the excess emission is due to the same cause, the administrative department must request the manufacturer to submit a plan of remedial measures to remedy the non-compliance. 6.2. The plan of remedial measures shall be filed with the type approval authority not later than 60 working days from the date of the notification referred to in paragraph 6.1. above. The type approval authority shall within 30 working days declare its approval or disapproval of the plan of remedial measures. However, where the manufacturer can demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the competent type approval authority, that further time is required to investigate the non-compliance in order to submit a plan of remedial measures, an extension is granted. 6.3. The remedial measures shall apply to all vehicles likely to be affected by the same defect. The need to amend the type approval documents shall be assessed. 6.4. The manufacturer shall provide a copy of all communications related to the plan of remedial measures, and shall also maintain a record of the recall campaign, and supply regular status reports to the type approval authority. The plan of remedial measures shall include the requirements specified in paragraphs 6.5.1. to 6.5.11. The manufacturer shall assign a unique identifying name or number to the plan of remedial measures. 6.5.1. A description of each vehicle type included in the plan of remedial measures. 6.5.2. A description of the specific modifications, alterations, repairs, corrections, adjustments, or other changes to be made to bring the vehicles into conformity including a brief summary of the data and technical studies which support the manufacturer's decision as to the particular measures to be taken to correct the non-conformity. 6.5.3. A description of the method by which the manufacturer informs the vehicle owners. 6.5.4. A description of the proper maintenance or use, if any, which the manufacturer stipulates as a condition of eligibility for repair under the plan of remedial measures, and an explanation of the manufacturer's reasons for imposing any such condition. No maintenance or use conditions may be imposed unless it is demonstrably related to the non-conformity and the remedial measures. 6.5.5. A description of the procedure to be followed by vehicle owners to obtain correction of the non-conformity. This shall include a date after which the remedial measures may be taken, the estimated time for the workshop to perform the repairs and where they can be done. The repair shall be done expediently, within a reasonable time after delivery of the vehicle.
