nity, and in particular Article 95 thereof,

of the Treaty (2),

Whereas:

(1)

The internal market comprises an area without internal
frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons,
services and capital must be ensured. To that end a com-
prehensive Community type approval system for motor
vehicles, established by Council Directive 70/156/EEC 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 (3), is in place. The technical
requirements for the type approval of motor vehicles with
regard to emissions should therefore be harmonised to
avoid requirements that differ from one Member State to
another, and to ensure a high level of environmental
protection.

(2)

This Regulation is one of a number of separate regulatory
acts in the context of the Community type approval pro-
cedure under Directive 70/156/EEC. Therefore, that Direc-
tive should be amended accordingly.

At the request of the European Parliament a new regula-
tory approach has been introduced in EU vehicle legisla-
tion. Thus,
this Regulation lays down fundamental
provisions on vehicle emissions, whereas the technical
specifications will be laid down by implementing mea-
sures adopted following comitology procedures.

In March 2001 the Commission launched the Clean Air
For Europe (CAFE) programme, the major elements of
which are outlined in a communication of 4 May 2005.
This has led to the adoption of a thematic strategy on air
pollution by a communication of 21 September 2005.
One of the conclusions of the thematic strategy is that fur-
ther reductions in emissions from the transport sector (air,
maritime and land transport), from households and from
the energy, agricultural and industrial sectors are needed
to achieve EU air quality objectives. In this context, the
task of reducing vehicle emissions should be approached
as part of an overall strategy. The Euro 5 and 6 standards
are one of the measures designed to reduce emissions of
particulate matter and ozone precursors such as nitrogen
oxides and hydrocarbons.

Achieving EU air quality objectives requires a continuing
effort to reduce vehicle emissions. For that reason, indus-
try should be provided with clear information on future
emission limit values. This is why this Regulation includes,
in addition to Euro 5, the Euro 6 stage of emission limit
values.

In particular, a considerable reduction in nitrogen oxide
emissions from diesel vehicles is necessary to improve air
quality and comply with limit values for pollution. This
requires reaching ambitious limit values at the Euro 6 stage
without being obliged to forego the advantages of diesel
engines in terms of fuel consumption and hydrocarbon
and carbon monoxide emissions. Setting such a step for
reducing nitrogen oxide emissions at an early stage will
provide long-term, Europe-wide planning security for
vehicle manufacturers.

In setting emissions standards it is important to take into
account the implications for markets and manufacturers’
competitiveness, the direct and indirect costs imposed on
business and the benefits that accrue in terms of stimulat-
ing innovation, improving air quality, reducing health
costs and increasing life expectancy, as well as the impli-
cations
impact on carbon dioxide
emissions.

the overall

for

Unrestricted access to vehicle repair information, via a
standardised format which can be used to retrieve the
technical information, and effective competition on the
market for vehicle repair and maintenance information
services are necessary to improve the functioning of the
internal market, particularly as regards the free movement
of goods, freedom of establishment and freedom to pro-
vide services. A great proportion of such information is
related to on-board diagnostic (OBD) systems and their
interaction with other vehicle systems. It is appropriate to
lay down technical specifications that manufacturers’ web-
sites should follow, along with targeted measures to ensure
reasonable access for small and medium-sized enterprises
(SMEs). Common standards agreed with the involvement
of stakeholders, such as the OASIS (1) format, can facili-
tate the exchange of information between manufacturers
and service providers. It is therefore appropriate to ini-
tially require the use of the technical specifications of the
OASIS format and to ask the Commission to request
CEN/ISO to further develop this format into a standard
with a view to replacing the OASIS format in due course.

Not later than four years after the date of entry into force
of this Regulation, the Commission should review the
operation of the system of access to all vehicle repair and
maintenance information with a view to determining
whether it would be appropriate to consolidate all provi-
sions governing access to vehicle repair and maintenance
information within a revised framework Directive on type
approval. If the provisions governing access to all vehicle
information are incorporated into that Directive, the cor-
responding provisions in this Regulation should be
repealed, as long as the existing rights for access to repair
and maintenance information are preserved.

(10)

The Commission should keep under review emissions
which are as yet unregulated and which arise as a conse-
quence of the wider use of new fuel formulations, engine
technologies and emission control systems and, where
necessary, submit a proposal to the European Parliament
and to the Council with a view to regulating such
emissions.

Efforts should be continued to implement stricter emis-
sion limits, including reduction of carbon dioxide emis-
sions, and to ensure that those limits relate to the actual
performance of vehicles when in use.

In order to ensure that emissions of ultra fine particulate
matter (PM 0,1 µm and below) are controlled, the Com-
mission should adopt as soon as possible, and introduce
at the latest upon entry into force of the Euro 6 stage, a
number based approach to emissions of PM in addition
to the mass based approach which is currently used. The
number based approach to emissions of PM should draw
on the results of the UN/ECE’s Particulate Measurement
Programme (PMP) and be consistent with the existing
ambitious objectives for the environment.

To provide greater repeatability in measuring the mass and
number of particulate emissions in the laboratory, the
Commission should adopt a new measurement procedure
replacing the current one. This should be introduced as
soon as possible and at the latest upon entry into force of
the Euro 6 stage. It should be based on the results of the
PMP. When the new measurement procedure is imple-
mented, the PM mass emission limits set out in this Regu-
lation should be recalibrated, as the new procedure records
a lower level of mass than the current one.

The Commission should keep under review the need to
revise the New European Drive Cycle as the test proce-
dure that provides the basis of EC type approval emis-
sions regulations. Updating or replacement of the test
cycles may be required to reflect changes in vehicle speci-
fication and driver behaviour. Revisions may be necessary
to ensure that real world emissions correspond to those
measured at type approval. The use of portable emission
measurement systems and the introduction of the ‘not-to-
exceed’ regulatory concept should also be considered.

(16) OBD systems are important in the control of emissions
during the use of a vehicle. Due to the importance of con-
trolling real world emissions, the Commission should keep
under review the requirements for such systems and the
tolerance thresholds for monitoring faults.

and carbon dioxide emissions of vehicles is necessary to
ensure that no technical barriers to trade arise between
Member States. Furthermore, it is also necessary to ensure
that customers and users are supplied with objective and
precise information.

Before drawing up a proposal for future emission stan-
dards, the Commission should set up studies designed to
determine whether the continued subdivision of vehicle
categories into groups is still necessary and whether mass
neutral emission limits can be applied.

2001/1/EC (14),

2001/100/EC (15) and 2004/3/EC (16) should therefore be
repealed. In addition, the Member States should also repeal
the transposing legislation of the repealed Directives.

(19) Member States should be able, by means of financial
incentives, to accelerate the placing on the market of
vehicles which satisfy the requirements adopted at Com-
munity level. However, such incentives should comply
with the provisions of the Treaty, in particular the rules
on state aid. This is in order to avoid distortions of the
internal market. This Regulation should not affect the
Member States’ right to include emissions in the basis for
calculating taxes levied on vehicles.

(20) Given that the legislation on vehicle emissions and fuel
consumption has developed over more than 35 years
and is now spread over more than 24 Directives, it is
advisable to replace those Directives by a new regulation
and a number of implementing measures. A regulation
will ensure that the detailed technical provisions are
directly applicable to manufacturers, approval authorities
and technical services and that they can be updated in a
much
way.

To ensure a smooth transition from the existing Direc-
tives to this Regulation, the applicability of this Regula-
tion should be deferred by a certain period after its entry
into force. However, during that period manufacturers
should be able to choose to have vehicles approved under
either the existing Directives or this Regulation. Moreover,
the provisions on financial incentives should be applicable
immediately after the entry into force of this Regulation.
The validity of type approvals granted under the existing
Directives is not to be affected by the entry into force of
this Regulation.

To ensure a smooth transition from the existing Direc-
tives to this Regulation, certain exceptions for vehicles
designed to fulfil specific social needs should be foreseen
in the Euro 5 stage. These exceptions should cease with
the entry into force of the Euro 6 stage.

The measures necessary for the implementation of this
Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council
Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the
procedures for the exercise of implementing powers con-
ferred on the Commission (1).

In particular, power should be conferred on the Commis-
sion to introduce particle number based limit values in
Annex I, as well as to recalibrate the particulate mass based
limit values set out in that Annex. Since those measures are
of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential
elements of this Regulation, they should be adopted in
accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny
provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.

not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those
objectives,

SUBJECT MATTER, SCOPE AND DEFINITIONS

Article 1

Subject matter

1.
This Regulation establishes common technical require-
ments for the type approval of motor vehicles (vehicles) and
replacement parts, such as replacement pollution control devices,
with regard to their emissions.

2.
In addition, this Regulation lays down rules for in-service
conformity, durability of pollution control devices, on-board
diagnostic (OBD) systems, measurement of fuel consumption and
accessibility of vehicle repair and maintenance information.

type approval, as well as a revised measurement proce-
dure for particulates and a particle number based limit
value, and to adopt measures concerning the use of defeat
devices, access to vehicle repair and maintenance informa-
tion and test cycles used to measure emissions. Since those
measures are of general scope and are designed to supple-
ment this Regulation by the addition of new non-essential
elements, they should be adopted in accordance with the
regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for
in
Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.

This Regulation shall apply to vehicles of categories M1,

MANUFACTURERS’ TYPE-APPROVAL OBLIGATIONS

Article 5

Requirements and tests

Article 4

Manufacturers’ obligations

1. Manufacturers shall demonstrate that all new vehicles sold,
into service in the Community are type
registered or put
approved in accordance with this Regulation and its implement-
ing measures. Manufacturers shall also demonstrate that all new
replacement pollution control devices requiring type approval
which are sold or put into service in the Community are type
approved in accordance with this Regulation and its implement-
ing measures.

1.
The manufacturer shall equip vehicles so that the compo-
nents likely to affect emissions are designed, constructed and
assembled so as to enable the vehicle, in normal use, to comply
with this Regulation and its implementing measures.

The use of defeat devices that reduce the effectiveness of
2.
emission control systems shall be prohibited. The prohibition
shall not apply where:

(a)

the need for the device is justified in terms of protecting the
engine against damage or accident and for safe operation of
the vehicle;

(b)

the device does not function beyond the requirements of
engine starting;

or

These obligations include meeting the emission limits set out in
Annex I and the implementing measures referred to in Article 5.

(c)

the conditions are substantially included in the test proce-
dures for verifying evaporative emissions and average
tailpipe emissions.

2. Manufacturers shall ensure that type approval procedures
for verifying conformity of production, durability of pollution
control devices and in-service conformity are met.

In addition, the technical measures taken by the manufacturer
must be such as to ensure that the tailpipe and evaporative emis-
sions are effectively limited, pursuant to this Regulation, through-
out the normal life of the vehicles under normal conditions of
use. Therefore, in-service conformity measures shall be checked
for a period of up to five years or 100 000 km, whichever is the
sooner. Durability testing of pollution control devices undertaken
for type approval shall cover 160 000 km. To comply with this
durability test, the manufacturers should have the possibility to
make use of test bench ageing, subject to the implementing mea-
sures referred to in paragraph 4.

In-service conformity shall be checked, in particular, for tailpipe
emissions as tested against emission limits set out in Annex I. In
order to improve control of evaporative emissions and low ambi-
ent temperature emissions, the test procedures shall be reviewed
by the Commission.

3. Manufacturers shall set out carbon dioxide emissions and
fuel consumption figures in a document given to the purchaser
of the vehicle at the time of purchase.

The specific procedures, tests and requirements for type
3.
approval set out in this paragraph, as well as requirements for
the implementation of paragraph 2, which are designed to amend
non-essential elements of this Regulation, by supplementing it,
shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure
with scrutiny referred to in Article 15(3). This shall include estab-
lishing the requirements relating to:

(a)

tailpipe emissions, including test cycles, low ambient tem-
perature emissions, emissions at idling speed, smoke opac-
ity and correct
functioning and regeneration of after-
treatment systems;

(b) evaporative emissions and crankcase emissions;

(c) OBD systems and in-use performance of pollution control

Fees for access to vehicle repair and maintenance
information

1. Manufacturers may charge reasonable and proportionate
fees for access to vehicle repair and maintenance information
covered by this Regulation; a fee is not reasonable or proportion-
ate if it discourages access by failing to take into account the
extent to which the independent operator uses it.

2. Manufacturers shall make available vehicle repair and main-
tenance information on a daily, monthly, and yearly basis, with
fees for access to such information varying in accordance with
the respective periods of time for which access is granted.

tests and requirements referred to in Article 5(3) as well as the
test cycles used to measure emissions. If the review finds that
these are no longer adequate or no longer reflect real world emis-
sions, they shall be adapted so as to adequately reflect the emis-
sions generated by real driving on the road. The necessary
measures, which are designed to amend non-essential elements
of this Regulation, by supplementing it, shall be adopted in accor-
dance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in
Article 15(3).

The Commission shall keep under review the pollutants
4.
