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 Regula-
tions is published by Barclays Publishing).

5.1.

General

5.1.1.

5.1.2.

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 sub-
jected, 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 lim-
ited 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.

5.1.3.

Inlet orifices of petrol tanks

eter of 23,6 mm or greater.

5.1.3.2.

Paragraph 5.1.3.1. shall not apply to a vehicle in respect of which both of the following condi-
tions 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 gas-
eous pollutants shall be adversely affected by leaded petrol, and;

6.5.2008

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.

5.1.4.

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.

5.1.6.

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 tam-
pering 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.

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

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

Manufacturers may apply to the approval authority for an exemption to one of these require-
ments 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 cur-
rent availability of performance chips, the high-performance capability of the vehicle and the pro-
jected sales volume of the vehicle.

Manufacturers using programmable computer code systems (e.g. Electrical Erasable Program-
mable 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.

It shall be possible to inspect the vehicle for roadworthiness test in order to determine its per-
formance 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

Description of tests

5.3.1.

Type I test (Simulating the average exhaust emissions after a cold start).

5.3.1.1.

Figure 1 illustrates the routes for Type I test. This test shall be carried out on all vehicles referred
to in paragraph 1., having a maximum mass not exceeding 3,5 tonnes.

5.3.1.2.

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

5.3.1.2.1.

A test lasting a total of 19 minutes and 40 seconds, made up of two parts, One and Two, is per-
formed 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 com-
position 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.

L 119/14

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

6.5.2008

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 pro-
cedure 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.

5.3.1.4.

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.

5.3.1.5.

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 pol-
lutant 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:

V1 ≤ 0,85 L and V1 + V2 ≤ 1,70 L and V2 ≤ L.

5.3.2.

Type II test (Carbon monoxide emission test at idling speed)

5.3.2.1.

This test is carried out on all vehicles powered by positive-ignition engines having maximum mass
exceeding 3,5 tonnes.

5.3.2.1.1.

Vehicles that can be fuelled either with petrol or with LPG or NG shall be tested in the test Type
II on both fuels.

5.3.2.1.2.

Notwithstanding the requirement of paragraph 5.3.2.1.1., 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 II as vehicles that can only run on a gaseous fuel.

5.3.2.2.

When tested in accordance with Annex 5, the carbon monoxide content by volume of the exhaust
gases emitted with the engine idling shall not exceed 3,5 per cent at the setting specified by the
manufacturer and shall not exceed 4,5 per cent within the range of adjustments specified in that
annex.

Type VI test (Verifying the average low ambient temperature carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon
exhaust emissions after a cold start).

5.3.5.1.

This test shall be carried out on all M1 and N1 Class I vehicles equipped with a positive-ignition
engine, except vehicles designed to carry more than six occupants and vehicles whose maximum
mass exceeds 2 500 kg.

5.3.5.1.1.

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

5.3.5.1.2.

The test consists of the four elementary urban driving cycles of Part One of the Type I test. 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.

5.3.5.2.

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

5.3.5.2.1.

Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraph 5.3.5.2., for each pollutant, not more than one
of the three results obtained may exceed the limit prescribed by not more than 10 per cent, pro-
vided the arithmetical mean value 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.

5.3.5.2.2.

The number of tests prescribed in paragraph 5.3.5.2. may, at the request of the manufacturer, be
increased to 10 if the arithmetical mean of the first three results is lower than 110 per cent of the
limit. In this case, the requirement after testing is only that the arithmetical mean of all 10 results
shall be less than the limit value.

5.3.5.3.

The number of tests prescribed in paragraph 5.3.5.2. may be reduced according to para-
graphs 5.3.5.3.1. and 5.3.5.3.2.

5.3.5.3.1.

Only one test is performed if the result obtained for each pollutant of the first test is less than or
equal to 0,70 L.

If the requirement of paragraph 5.3.5.3.1. is not satisfied, only two tests are performed if for each
pollutant the result of the first test is less than or equal to 0,85 L and the sum of the first two
results is less than or equal to 1,70 L and the result of the second test is less than or equal to L.

(V1 ≤ 0,85 L and V1 + V2 ≤ 1,70 L and V2 ≤ L).

5.3.6.

Type V test (Durability of anti-pollution devices)

5.3.6.1.

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.

EXTENSION OF APPROVAL

In the case of modifications of the type approval pursuant to this Regulation, the following spe-
cial provisions shall apply, if applicable.

7.1.

Exhaust emission related extensions (Type I, Type II and Type VI tests).

7.1.1.

Vehicle types of different reference masses

7.1.1.1.

7.1.1.2.

Approval granted to a vehicle type may be extended only to vehicle types of a reference mass
requiring the use of the next two higher equivalent inertia categories or any lower equivalent iner-
tia category.

In the case of vehicles of category N1 and vehicles of category M referred to in note 2 of para-
graph 5.3.1.4., if the reference mass of the vehicle type for which extension of the approval is
requested requires the use of equivalent inertia lower than that used for the vehicle type already
approved, extension of the approval is 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.

7.1.2.

Vehicle types with different overall gear ratios

Approval granted to a vehicle type may under the following conditions be extended to vehicle
types which differ from the type approved only in respect of their transmission ratios:

7.1.2.1.

For each of the transmission ratios used in the Type I and Type VI test, it is necessary to deter-
mine the proportion,

E =

|V2 – V1|
V1

where, at an engine speed of 1 000 min–1, V1 is the speed of the vehicle type approved and V2 is
the speed of the vehicle type for which extension of the approval is requested.

7.1.2.2.

If, for each gear ratio, E ≤ 8 per cent, the extension is granted without repeating the Type I and
Type VI tests.

CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION (COP)

8.1.

8.2.

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 con-
formity 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 communica-
tion 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 main-
tained 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.

8.2.1.

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).

Figures 4/1 and 4/2, in Appendix 4, illustrate the procedure for in-service conformity checking.

8.2.1.1.

Parameters defining the in-service family

The in-service family may be defined by basic design parameters which must be common to
vehicles within the family. Accordingly, those vehicle types which have in common, or within
the stated tolerances, at least the parameters described below, can be considered as belonging to
the same in-service family:

— combustion process (2-stroke, 4-stroke, rotary);

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.

L 119/26

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

6.5.2008

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.

8.2.3.

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.

8.2.3.1.

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.

8.2.3.1.1.

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 pollut-
ant, a test is carried out on another vehicle (see Figure 2 below).

8.2.3.2.

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.

L 119/28

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

6.5.2008

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.

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.

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

8.2.4.

8.2.5.

8.2.6.

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.

8.2.6.2.

8.2.6.3.

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

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

If the vehicle taken from the series does not satisfy the requirements of paragraph 8.2.6.1., a fur-
ther 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.

6.5.2008

L 119/29

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.

8.2.7.

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 satis-

factory 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 accor-
dance 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.

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.

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 attrib-
uted 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.

8.2.7.1.

8.2.7.2.

8.2.7.3.

8.2.7.3.1.

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

(i)

(ii)

that been issued an approval certificate indicating compliance with the emission limits of cat-
egory 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

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 pro-
vided that those vehicles have been regularly operated on petrol or diesel fuel having a sul-
phur 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 corre-
spond 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.

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:

n

1
s ∑

i=1

(L – xi)

5.

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

dn =

n

1
n∑

i=1

di

and

2 =

Vn

(di – dn)

n

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 dn/Vn and shall be used to determine whether the series has passed or failed as follows:

For mo ≤ n ≤ m

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

2.1.

2.2.

2.3.

2.4.

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.

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 Con-
tracting Parties.

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.

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.

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 mea-
suring exhaust emissions, in accordance with the procedure laid down in paragraphs 3.1. to 3.7. below.

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.

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.

3.1.

3.2.

L 119/40

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

6.5.2008

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.

3.7.

3.8.

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.

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 oppor-
tunity 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 emis-
sions measurement, then a further test must be carried out to ensure that regeneration has been completed. A com-
plete 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 condi-
tioning cycle specified by the manufacturer and normal test preconditioning.

4.

IN-SERVICE TESTING

4.1.

4.2.

4.3.

4.4.

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.

Vehicles equipped with an OBD system may be checked for proper in-service functionality of the malfunction indi-
cation, 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.

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 dete-
riorated components in the OBD system.

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 Agree-
ment, with no malfunction indication by the OBD, the component or system shall not be replaced prior to emis-
sion 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.

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.

6.3.

6.4.

6.5.

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 work-
ing 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 inves-
tigate the non-compliance in order to submit a plan of remedial measures, an extension is granted.

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.

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 manu-
facturer 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 sup-
port 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 eligi-
bility for repair under the plan of remedial measures, and an explanation of the manufacturer’s reasons for impos-
ing 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 per-
form the repairs and where they can be done. The repair shall be done expediently, within a reasonable time after
delivery of the vehicle.

6.5.6. A copy of the information transmitted to the vehicle owner.

6.5.7. A brief description of the system which the manufacturer uses to assure an adequate supply of component or sys-
tems for fulfilling the remedial action. It shall be indicated when there will be an adequate supply of components
or systems to initiate the campaign.

6.5.8. A copy of all instructions to be sent to those persons who are to perform the repair.

6.5.9. A description of the impact of the proposed remedial measures on the emissions, fuel consumption, derivability,
and safety of each vehicle type, covered by the plan of remedial measures with data, technical studies, etc. which
support these conclusions.

6.5.10. Any other information, reports or data the type approval authority may reasonably determine is necessary to evalu-

ate the plan of remedial measures.

Appendix 4

Statistical procedure for in-service conformity testing

1.

2.

This Appendix describes the procedure to be used to verify the in-service conformity requirements for the Type I
test.

Two different procedures are to be followed:

(i) One dealing with vehicles identified in the sample, due to an emission-related defect, causing outliers in the

results (paragraph 3. below).

(ii) The other deals with the total sample (paragraph 4. below).

3.

PROCEDURE TO BE FOLLOWED WITH OUTLYING EMITTERS IN THE SAMPLE (1)

3.1.

3.2.

3.2.1.

3.2.2.

With a minimum sample size of three and a maximum sample size as determined by the procedure of para-
graph 4., a vehicle is taken at random from the sample and the emissions of the regulated pollutants are mea-
sured to determine if it is an outlying emitter.

A vehicle is said to be an outlying emitter when the conditions given in either paragraph 3.2.1. or para-
graph 3.2.2. are met.

In the case of a vehicle that has been type-approved according to the limit values given in row A of the table in
paragraph 5.3.1.4., an outlying emitter is a vehicle where the applicable limit value for any regulated pollutant is
exceeded by a factor of 1,2.

In the case of a vehicle that has been type-approved according to the limit values given in row B of the table in
paragraph 5.3.1.4., an outlying emitter is a vehicle where the applicable limit value for any regulated pollutant is
exceeded by a factor of 1,5.

3.2.3.

In the specific case of a vehicle with a measured emission for any regulated pollutant within the ‘intermediate
zone’ (2).

3.2.3.1.

If the vehicle meets the conditions of this paragraph, the cause of the excess emission must be determined and
another vehicle is then taken at random from the sample.

3.2.3.2. Where more than one vehicle meets the condition of this paragraph, the administrative department and the

manufacturer must determine if the excess emission from both vehicles is due to the same cause or not.

3.2.3.2.1.

If the administrative department and the manufacturer both agree that the excess emission is due to the same
cause, the sample is regarded as having failed and the plan of remedial measures outlined in paragraph 6. of
Appendix 3 applies.

3.2.3.2.2.

If the administrative department and the manufacturer can not agree on either the cause of the excess emission
from an individual vehicle or whether the causes for more than one vehicle are the same, another vehicle is taken
at random from the sample, unless the maximum sample size has already been reached.

3.2.3.3. When only one vehicle meeting the conditions of this paragraph has been found, or when more than one vehicle
has been found and the administrative department and the manufacturer agree it is due to different causes,
another vehicle is taken at random from the sample, unless the maximum sample size has already been reached.

(1) On the basis of actual in-service data to be supplied before 31 December 2003, the requirements of this paragraph may be reviewed and
consider (a) whether the definition of outlying emitter needs to be revised with respect to vehicles that have been type-approved accord-
ing to the limit values given in row B of the table in paragraph 5.3.1.4., (b) whether the procedure for identifying outlying emitters should
be amended and (c) whether the procedures for in-service conformity testing should be replaced at an appropriate time by a new statis-
tical procedure. If appropriate it will be proposed the necessary amendments.

(2) For any vehicle, the ‘intermediate zone’ is determined as follows: The vehicle shall meet the conditions given in either paragraph 3.2.1. or
paragraph 3.2.2. and, in addition, the measured value for the same regulated pollutant shall be below a level that is determined from the
product of the limit value for the same regulated pollutant given in row A of the table in paragraph 5.3.1.4. multiplied by a factor of 2,5.

3.2.3.4.

If the maximum sample size is reached and not more than one vehicle meeting the requirements of this para-
graph has been found where the excess emission is due to the same cause, the sample is regarded as having passed
with regard to the requirements of paragraph 3. of this Appendix.

3.2.3.5.

If, at any time, the initial sample has been exhausted, another vehicle is added to the initial sample and that vehicle
is taken.

3.2.3.6. Whenever another vehicle is taken from the sample, the statistical procedure of paragraph 4. of this Appendix is

applied to the increased sample.

3.2.4.

In the specific case of a vehicle with a measured emission for any regulated pollutant within the ‘failure zone’ (1)

3.2.4.1.

If the vehicle meets the conditions of this paragraph, the administrative department shall determine the cause of
the excess emission and another vehicle is then taken at random from the sample.

3.2.4.2. Where more than one vehicle meets the condition of this paragraph, and the administrative department deter-
mines that the excess emission is due to the same cause, the manufacturer shall be informed that the sample is
regarded as having failed, together with the reasons for that decision, and the plan of remedial measures outlined
in paragraph 6. of Appendix 3 applies.

3.2.4.3. When only one vehicle meeting the conditions of this paragraph has been found, or when more than one vehicle
has been found and the administrative department has determined that it is due to different causes, another
vehicle is taken at random from the sample, unless the maximum sample size has already been reached.

3.2.4.4.

If the maximum sample size is reached and not more than one vehicle meeting the requirements of this para-
graph has been found where the excess emission is due to the same cause, the sample is regarded as having passed
with regard to the requirements of paragraph 3. of this Appendix.

3.2.4.5.

If, at any time, the initial sample has been exhausted, another vehicle is added to the initial sample and that vehicle
is taken.

3.2.4.6. Whenever another vehicle is taken from the sample, the statistical procedure of paragraph 4. of this Appendix is

applied to the increased sample.

3.2.5.

Whenever a vehicle is not found to be an outlying emitter, another vehicle is taken at random from the sample.

3.3.

When an outlying emitter is found, the cause of the excess emission shall be determined.

3.4.

3.5.

When more than one vehicle is found to be an outlying emitter, due to the same cause, the sample is regarded
as having failed.

When only one outlying emitter has been found, or when more than one outlying emitter is found, but due to
different causes, the sample is increased by one vehicle, unless the maximum sample size has already been
reached.

3.5.1.

When in the increased sample more than one vehicle is found to be an outlying emitter, due to the same cause,
the sample is regarded as having failed.

3.5.2.

When in the maximum sample size not more than one outlying emitter is found, where the excess emission is
due to the same cause, the sample is regarded as having passed with regard to the requirements of paragraph 3.
of this appendix.

3.6.

Whenever a sample is increased due to the requirements of paragraph 3.5., the statistical procedure of para-
graph 4. below is applied to the increased sample.

(1) For any vehicle, the ‘failure zone’ is determined as follows. The measured value for any regulated pollutant exceeds a level that is deter-
mined from the product of the limit value for the same regulated pollutant given in row A of the table in paragraph 5.3.1.4. multiplied
by a factor of 2,5.

PROCEDURE TO BE FOLLOWED WITHOUT SEPARATE EVALUATION OF OUTLYING EMITTERS IN THE
SAMPLE

With a minimum sample size of three the sampling procedure is set so that the probability of a batch 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
batch being accepted with 75 per cent of the production defective is 0,15 (consumer’s risk = 15 per cent).

For each of the pollutants given in the table of paragraph 5.3.1.4. of this Regulation, the following procedure is
used (see Figure 4/2 below).

where:

L = the limit value for the pollutant,

xi = the value of the measurement for the i-th vehicle of the sample,

n = the current sample number.

The test statistic quantifying the number of non-conforming vehicles, i.e. xi > L, is computed for the sample.

Then:

(i)

If the test statistic does not exceed the pass decision number for the sample size given in the following table,
a pass decision is reached for the pollutant,

(ii)

If the test statistic equals or exceeds the fail decision number for the sample size given in the following table,
a fail decision is reached for the pollutant,

(iii) Otherwise, an additional vehicle is tested and the procedure is applied to the sample with one extra unit.

In the following table the pass and fail decision numbers are computed in accordance with the International Stan-
dard ISO 8422:1991.

5.

A sample is regarded as having passed the test when it has passed both the requirements of paragraphs 3. and 4.
of this appendix.

ANNEX 4

TYPE I TEST

(Verifying exhaust emissions after a cold start)

1.

INTRODUCTION

This annex describes the procedure for the Type I test defined in paragraph 5.3.1. of this Regulation. When the
reference fuel to be used is LPG or NG, the provisions of Annex 12 shall apply additionally.

When the vehicle is equipped with a periodically regenerating system as defined in paragraph 2.20., the provisions
of Annex 13 shall apply.

OPERATING CYCLE ON THE CHASSIS DYNAMOMETER

2.1.

Description of the cycle

The operating cycle on the chassis dynamometer shall be that indicated in the Appendix 1 to this annex.

2.2.

General conditions under which the cycle is carried out

Preliminary testing cycles should be carried out if necessary to determine how best to actuate the accelerator and
brake controls so as to achieve a cycle approximating to the theoretical cycle within the prescribed limits.

2.3.

Use of the gearbox

2.3.1.

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 for the urban cycle (Part One) and the second, third, fourth and fifth gears for the extra-urban cycle
(Part Two). The second, third and fourth gears may also be used for the urban cycle (Part One) and the second,
third, fourth and fifth gears for the extra-urban cycle (Part Two) when the manufacturer’s instructions recommend
starting in second gear on level ground, or when first gear is therein defined as a gear reserved for cross-country
driving, crawling or towing.

Vehicles which do not attain the acceleration and maximum speed values required in the operating cycle shall be
operated with the accelerator control fully depressed until they once again reach the required operating curve.
Deviations from the operating cycle shall be recorded in the test report.

2.3.2.

Vehicles equipped with semi-automatic-shift gearboxes shall be tested by using the gears normally employed for
driving, and the gear shift is used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

2.3.3.

Vehicles equipped with automatic-shift gearboxes shall be tested with the highest gear (‘Drive’) engaged. The accel-
erator shall be used in such a way as to obtain the steadiest acceleration possible, enabling the various gears to be
engaged in the normal order. Furthermore, the gear-change points shown in Appendix 1 to this annex shall not
apply; acceleration shall continue throughout the period represented by the straight line connecting the end of each
period of idling with the beginning of the next following period of steady speed. The tolerances given in para-
graph 2.4. below shall apply.

2.3.4.

Vehicles equipped with an overdrive which the driver can actuate shall be tested with the overdrive out of action
for the urban cycle (Part One) and with the overdrive in action for the extra-urban cycle (Part Two).

2.3.5.

At the request of the manufacturer, for a vehicle type where the idle speed of the engine is higher than the engine
speed that would occur during operations 5, 12 and 24 of the elementary urban cycle (Part One), the clutch may
be disengaged during the previous operation.

2.4.

Tolerances

Exhaust gas-sampling system

4.2.1.

The exhaust gas sampling system shall be able to measure the actual quantities of pollutants emitted in the exhaust
gases to be measured. The system that shall be used is the constant volume sampler (CVS) system. This requires
that the vehicle exhaust be continuously diluted with ambient air under controlled conditions. In the constant vol-
ume sampler concept of measuring mass emissions, two conditions shall be satisfied, the total volume of the mix-
ture of exhaust and dilution air shall be measured and a continuously proportional sample of the volume shall be
collected for analysis. The quantities of pollutants are determined from the sample concentrations, corrected for
the pollutant content of the ambient air and the totalised flow over the test period.

The particulate pollutant emission level is determined by using suitable filters to collect the particulates from a pro-
portional part flow throughout the test and determining the quantity thereof gravimetrically in accordance with
paragraph 4.3.1.1.

4.2.2.

The flow through the system shall be sufficient to eliminate water condensation at all conditions which may occur
during a test, as defined in Appendix 5 to this annex.

The system shall be free of gas leaks. The design and materials shall be such that the system does not influence the
pollutant concentration in the diluted exhaust gas. Should any component (heat exchanger, blower, etc.) change
the concentration of any pollutant gas in the diluted gas, the sampling for that pollutant shall be carried out before
that component if the problem cannot be corrected.

4.2.7.

be connected as near as possible to the vehicle without adversely affecting his operation.

4.2.8.

Static pressure variations at the exhaust(s) of the vehicle shall remain within ± 1,25 kPa of the static pressure varia-
tions measured during the dynamometer driving cycle and with no connection to the exhaust(s). Sampling sys-
tems capable of maintaining the static pressure to within ± 0,25 kPa are used if a written request from a
manufacturer to the administration granting the approval substantiates the need for the closer tolerance. The back-
pressure shall be measured in the exhaust pipe as near as possible to its end or in an extension having the same
diameter.

4.2.9.

The various valves used to direct the exhaust gases shall be of a quick-adjustment, quick-acting type.

used. If the filters are not used within one hour of their removal from the weighing chamber they shall be
re-weighed.

The one-hour limit may be replaced by an eight-hour limit if one or both of the following conditions are met;

— a stabilised filter is placed and kept in a sealed filter holder assembly with the ends plugged, or;

— a stabilised filter is placed in a sealed filter holder assembly which is then immediately placed in a sample line

After this preconditioning, specific for compression-ignition engines, and before testing, compression-ignition and
positive-ignition engined vehicles shall be kept in a room in which the temperature remains relatively constant
between 293 and 303 K (20 and 30 °C). This conditioning shall be carried out for at least six hours and continue

petrol or LPG or NG, between the tests on the first gaseous reference fuel and the second gaseous reference fuel,
the vehicle shall be preconditioned before the test on the second reference fuel. This preconditioning is done on
the second reference fuel by driving a preconditioning cycle consisting of one Part One (urban part) and two times
Part Two (extra-urban part) of the test cycle described in Appendix 1 to this annex. On the manufacturer’s request
and with the agreement of the technical service this preconditioning may be extended. The dynamometer setting
shall be the one indicated in paragraphs 5.1. and 5.2. of this annex.

During the test the speed is recorded against time or collected by the data-acquisition system so that the correct-
ness of the cycles performed can be assessed.

PROCEDURE FOR SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS

7.1.

Sampling

Sampling shall begin (BS) before or at the initiation of the engine start up procedure and end on conclusion of the
final idling period in the extra-urban cycle (Part Two, end of sampling (ES) or, in the case of test Type VI, on con-
clusion of the final idling period of the last elementary urban cycle (Part One).

7.2.

Analysis

7.2.1.

The exhaust gases contained in the bag shall be analysed as soon as possible and in any event not later than 20 min-
utes after the end of the test cycle. The spent particulate filters shall be taken to the chamber no later than one
hour after conclusion of the test on the exhaust gases and shall there be conditioned for between 2 and 36 hours
and then be weighed.

7.2.2.

Prior to each sample analysis, the analyser range to be used for each pollutant shall be set to zero with the appro-
priate zero gas.

7.2.3.

The analysers shall then be set to the calibration curves by means of span gases of nominal concentrations of 70
to 100 per cent of the range.

7.2.4.

The analysers’ zeros shall then be rechecked. If the reading differs by more than 2 per cent of the range from that
set in paragraph 7.2.2. above, the procedure shall be repeated.

7.2.5.

The samples shall then be analysed.

7.2.6.

After the analysis, zero and span points shall be rechecked using the same gases. If these rechecks are within ± 2
per cent of those in paragraph 7.2.3. above, the analysis shall be considered acceptable.

7.2.7.

At all points in this paragraph, the flow-rates and pressures of the various gases shall be the same as those used
during calibration of the analysers.

7.2.8.

The figure adopted for the content of the gases in each of the pollutants measured shall be that read off after sta-
bilisation of the measuring device. Hydrocarbon mass emissions of compression-ignition engines shall be calcu-
lated from the integrated HFID reading, corrected for varying flow if necessary, as shown in Appendix 5 to this

mass of particulates collected by the two filters, m1 by the first filter, m2 by the second filter:

— if 0,95 (m1 + m2) ≤ m1,

— if 0,95 (m1 + m2) > m1,

— if m2 > m1,

m = m1,

m = m1 + m2,

the test is cancelled.

Appendix 8 to this annex gives calculations, followed by examples, used to determine the mass emissions of gas-
eous and particulate pollutants.

Appendix 2

Chassis dynamometer

1.

DEFINITION OF A CHASSIS DYNAMOMETER WITH FIXED LOAD CURVE

1.1.

Introduction

In the event that the total resistance to progress on the road cannot be reproduced on the chassis dynamometer
between speeds of 10 km/h and 120 km/h, it is recommended that a chassis dynamometer having the character-
istics defined below should be used.

1.2.

Definition

1.2.1.

The chassis dynamometer may have one or two rollers. The front roller shall drive, directly or indirectly, the iner-
tial masses and the power absorption device.

1.2.2.

The load absorbed by the brake and the chassis dynamometer internal frictional effects between the speeds of 0
and 120 km/h is as follows:

F = (a + b ∙ V2) ± 0,1 ∙ F80 (without being negative)

where:

F

a

b

= total load absorbed by the chassis dynamometer (N)

= value equivalent to rolling resistance (N)

= value equivalent to coefficient of air resistance (N/(km/h)2)

V = speed (km/h)

F80 = load at 80 km/h (N).

2.

METHOD OF CALIBRATING THE DYNAMOMETER

2.1.

Introduction

This Appendix describes the method to be used to determine the load absorbed by a dynamometer brake. The load
absorbed comprises the load absorbed by frictional effects and the load absorbed by the power-absorption device.

The dynamometer is brought into operation beyond the range of test speeds. The device used for starting up the
dynamometer is then disconnected: the rotational speed of the driven roller decreases.

The kinetic energy of the rollers is dissipated by the power-absorption unit and by the frictional effects. This
method disregards variations in the roller’s internal frictional effects caused by rollers with or without the vehicle.
The frictional effects of the rear roller shall be disregarded when the roller is free.

2.2.

Calibration of the load indicator to 80 km/h as a function of the load absorbed.

The following procedure shall be used (see also Figure 2/1):

2.2.1. Measure the rotational speed of the roller if this has not already been done. A fifth wheel, a revolution counter or

some other method may be used.

2.2.2.

Place the vehicle on the dynamometer or devise some other method of starting-up the dynamometer.

L 119/84

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

6.5.2008

2.2.3.

Use the flywheel or any other system of inertia simulation for the particular inertia class to be used.

Figure 2/1

Diagram illustrating the power absorbed by the chassis dynamometer

= F = a + b ∙ V2

• = (a + b ∙ V2) – 0,1 ∙ F80

Δ = (a + b ∙ V2) + 0,1 ∙ F80

2.2.4.

Bring the dynamometer to a speed of 80 km/h.

2.2.5.

Note the load indicated Fi (N)

2.2.6.

Bring the dynamometer to a speed of 90 km/h.

2.2.7.

Disconnect the device used to start-up the dynamometer.

2.2.8.

Note the time taken by the dynamometer to pass from a speed of 85 km/h to a speed of 75 km/h.

2.2.9.

Set the power-absorption device at a different level.

2.2.10. The requirements of paragraphs 2.2.4. to 2.2.9. shall be repeated sufficiently often to cover the range of loads used.

2.2.11. Calculate the load absorbed using the formula:

F =

Mi∙ΔV
t

where:

F

= load absorbed (N)

Mi = equivalent inertia in kg (excluding the inertial effects of the free rear roller)

ΔV = Speed deviation in m/s (10 km/h = 2,775 m/s)

t

= time taken by the roller to pass from 85 km/h to 75 km/h.

Figure 2/2

Load indicated at 80 km/h in terms of load absorbed at 80 km/h

2.2.13. The requirements of paragraphs 2.2.3. to 2.2.12. above shall be repeated for all inertia classes to be used.

2.3.

Calibration of the load indicator as a function of the absorbed load for other speeds. The procedures described in
paragraph 2.2. above shall be repeated as often as necessary for the chosen speeds.

2.4.

Verification of the load-absorption curve of the dynamometer from a reference setting at a speed of 80 km/h

2.4.1.

Place the vehicle on the dynamometer or devise some other method of starting-up the dynamometer.

2.4.2.

Adjust the dynamometer to the absorbed load (F) at 80 km/h.

2.4.3.

Note the load absorbed at 120, 100, 80, 60, 40 and 20 km/h.

2.4.4.

Draw the curve F(V) and verify that it corresponds to the requirements of paragraph 1.2.2. of this Appendix.

2.4.5.

Repeat the procedure set out in paragraphs 2.4.1. to 2.4.4. above for other values of power F at 80 km/h and for
other values of inertias.

2.5.

The same procedure shall be used for force or torque calibration.

3.

SETTING OF THE DYNAMOMETER

3.1.

Setting method

3.1.1.

Introduction

This method is not a preferred method and shall be used only with fixed load curve shape dynamometers for deter-
mination of load setting at 80 km/h and cannot be used for vehicles with compression-ignition engines.

L 119/86

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

6.5.2008

3.1.2.

Test instrumentation

The vacuum (or absolute pressure) in the vehicle’s intake manifold shall be measured to an accuracy of ± 0,25 kPa.
It shall be possible to record this reading continuously or at intervals of no more than one second. The speed shall
be recorded continuously with a precision of ± 0,4 km/h.

3.1.3.

Road test

3.1.3.1. Ensure that the requirements of paragraph 4. of Appendix 3 to this annex are met.

3.1.3.2. Drive the vehicle at a steady speed of 80 km/h, recording speed and vacuum (or absolute pressure) in accordance

with the requirements of paragraph 3.1.2. above.

3.1.3.3. Repeat procedure set out in paragraph 3.1.3.2. above three times in each direction. All six runs must be completed

within four hours.

3.1.4.

Data reduction and acceptance criteria

3.1.4.1. Review results obtained in accordance with paragraphs 3.1.3.2. and 3.1.3.3. above. (Speed must not be lower than
79,5 km/h or greater than 80,5 km/h for more than one second). For each run, read vacuum level at one second
intervals, calculate mean vacuum and standard deviation (s). This calculation shall consist of no less than 10 read-
ings of vacuum.

3.1.4.2. The standard deviation must not exceed 10 per cent of the mean (v) for each run.

3.1.4.3. Calculate the mean value for the six runs (three runs in each direction).

3.1.5.

Dynamometer setting

3.1.5.1. Preparation

Perform the operations specified in paragraphs 5.1.2.2.1. to 5.1.2.2.4. of Appendix 3 to this annex.

3.1.5.2. Load setting

After warm-up, drive the vehicle at a steady speed of 80 km/h and adjust dynamometer load to reproduce the
vacuum reading (v) obtained in accordance with paragraph 3.1.4.3. above. Deviation from this reading shall be no
greater than 0,25 kPa. The same instruments shall be used for this exercise as were used during the road test.

3.2.

Alternative method

With the manufacturer’s agreement the following method may be used.

3.2.1.

The brake is adjusted so as to absorb the load exerted at the driving wheels at a constant speed of 80 km/h, in
accordance with the following table:

Verification of inertias other than mechanical

1.

OBJECT

The method described in this appendix makes it possible to check that the simulated total inertia of the dynamom-
eter is carried out satisfactorily in the running phase of the operating cycle.

The manufacturer of the dynamometer shall specify a method for verifying the specifications according to para-
graph 3. below.

2.

PRINCIPLE

2.1. Drawing-up working equations

Since the dynamometer is subjected to variations in the rotating speed of the roller(s), the force at the surface of the
roller(s) can be expressed by the formula:

where:

F = I ∙ γ = IM ∙ γ + F1

F

I

= force at the surface of the roller(s),

= total inertia of the dynamometer (equivalent inertia of the vehicle: see the table in paragraph 5.1.),

IM = inertia of the mechanical masses of the dynamometer,

γ

= tangential acceleration at roller surface,

F1 = inertia force.

Note: An explanation of this formula with reference to dynamometers with mechanically simulated inertia’s is

appended.

Thus, total inertia is expressed as follows:

I = IM + F1 / γ

where:

Im:

F1:

γ:

can be calculated or measured by traditional methods,

can be measured on the dynamometer,

can be calculated from the peripheral speed of the rollers.

The total inertia (I) will be determined during an acceleration or deceleration test with values higher than or equal to
those obtained on an operating cycle.

2.2.

Specification for the calculation of total inertia

The test and calculation methods shall make it possible to determine the total inertia I with a relative error (ΔI/I) of
less than ± 2 per cent.

3.

SPECIFICATION

3.1.

The mass of the simulated total inertia I shall remain the same as the theoretical value of the equivalent inertia (see
paragraph 5.1. of Annex 4) within the following limits:

3.1.1. ± 5 per cent of the theoretical value for each instantaneous value;

3.1.2. ± 2 per cent of the theoretical value for the average value calculated for each sequence of the cycle.

6.5.2008

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

L 119/95

3.2.

The limit given in paragraph 3.1.1. above is brought to ± 50 per cent for one second when starting and, for vehicles
with manual transmission, for two seconds during gear changes.

4.

VERIFICATION PROCEDURE

4.1.

Verification is carried out during each test throughout the cycle defined in paragraph 2.1. of Annex 4.

4.2.

However, if the requirements of paragraph 3. above are met, with instantaneous accelerations which are at least three
times greater or smaller than the values obtained in the sequences of the theoretical cycle, the verification described
above will not be necessary.

Definition of gas-sampling systems

1.

1.1.

INTRODUCTION

There are several types of sampling devices capable of meeting the requirements set out in paragraph 4.2. of
Annex 4.

The devices described in paragraphs 3.1. and 3.2. shall be deemed acceptable if they satisfy the main criteria
relating to the variable dilution principle.

1.2.

In its communications, the laboratory shall mention the system of sampling used when performing the test.

2.

CRITERIA RELATING TO THE VARIABLE-DILUTION SYSTEM FOR MEASURING EXHAUST-GAS EMISSIONS

2.1.

Scope

This section shall specify the operating characteristics of an exhaust-gas sampling system intended to be used
for measuring the true mass emissions of a vehicle exhaust in accordance with the provisions of this Regulation.

The principle of variable-dilution sampling for measuring mass emissions shall require three conditions to be
satisfied:

2.1.1.

The vehicle exhaust gases shall be continuously diluted with ambient air under specified conditions;

2.1.2.

The total volume of the mixture of exhaust gases and dilution air shall be measured accurately;

2.1.3.

A continuously proportional sample of the diluted exhaust gases and the dilution air shall be collected for
analysis.

Mass gaseous emissions shall be determined from the proportional sample concentrations and the total vol-
ume measured during the test. The sample concentrations shall be corrected to take account of the pollutant
content of the ambient air.

In addition, where vehicles are equipped with compression-ignition engines, their particulate emissions shall
be plotted.

2.2.

Technical summary

Figure 5/1 gives a schematic diagram of the sampling system.

2.2.1.

2.2.2.

The vehicle exhaust gases shall be diluted with a sufficient amount of ambient air to prevent any water con-
densation in the sampling and measuring system.

The exhaust-gas sampling system shall be so designed as to make it possible to measure the average volume
concentrations of the CO2, CO, HC and NOx, and, in addition, in the case of vehicles equipped with
compression-ignition engines, of the particulate emissions, contained in the exhaust gases emitted during the
vehicle testing cycle.

2.2.3.

The mixture of air and exhaust gases shall be homogeneous at the point where the sampling probe is located
(see paragraph 2.3.1.2. below).

2.2.4.

The probe shall extract a representative sample of the diluted gases.

2.2.5.

The system shall enable the total volume of the diluted exhaust gases to be measured.

2.2.6.

The sampling system shall be gas-tight. The design of the variable-dilution sampling system and the materials
that go to make it up shall be such that they do not affect the pollutant concentration in the diluted exhaust
gases. Should any component in the system (heat exchanger, cyclone separator, blower, etc.) change the con-
centration of any of the pollutants in the diluted exhaust gases and the fault cannot be corrected, then sampling
for that pollutant shall be carried out upstream from that component.

L 119/97

2.2.7.

2.2.8.

If the vehicle tested is equipped with an exhaust system with several outlets, the connecting tubes shall be con-
nected by a manifold installed as near as possible to the vehicle.

The gas samples shall be collected in sampling bags of adequate capacity so as not to hinder the gas flow dur-
ing the sampling period. These bags shall be made of materials which will not affect the concentration of pol-
lutant gases (see paragraph 2.3.4.4. below).

2.2.9.

The variable-dilution system shall be so designed as to enable the exhaust gases to be sampled without appre-
ciably changing the back-pressure at the exhaust pipe outlet (see paragraph 2.3.1.1. below).

2.3.

it shall in no event:

(i)

cause the static pressure at the exhaust outlets on the vehicle being tested to differ by more than ± 0,75 kPa
at 50 km/h or more than ± 1,25 kPa for the whole duration of the test from the static pressures recorded
when nothing is connected to the vehicle exhaust outlets. The pressure shall be measured in the exhaust
outlet or in an extension having the same diameter, as near as possible to the end of the pipe;

(ii)

change the nature of the exhaust gas.

2.3.1.2.

Provision shall be made for a mixing chamber in which the vehicle exhaust gases and the dilution air are mixed
so as to produce a homogeneous mixture at the chamber outlet.

The homogeneity of the mixture in any cross-paragraph at the location of the sampling probe shall not vary by
more than ± 2 per cent from the average of the values obtained for at least five points located at equal intervals
on the diameter of the gas stream. In order to minimise the effects on the conditions at the exhaust outlet and
to limit the drop in pressure inside the dilution-air conditioning device, if any, the pressure inside the mixing
chamber shall not differ by more than ± 0,25 kPa from atmospheric pressure.

Volume measurement

2.3.3.1.

The volume measuring device shall retain its calibration accuracy to within ± 2 per cent under all operating

2.3.4.3.5. Quick-fastening gas-tight connections may be used between the three-way valves and the sampling bags, the
connections sealing themselves automatically on the bag side. Other systems may be used for conveying the
samples to the analyser (three-way stop valves, for example).

2.3.4.3.6.

The various valves used for directing the sampling gases shall be of the quick-adjusting and quick-acting type.

eter of 4 mm.

2.4.8.

All heated parts shall be maintained at a temperature of 463 K (190 °C) ± 10 K by the heating system.

2.4.9.

If it is not possible to compensate for variations in the flow rate provision shall be made for a heat exchanger
and a temperature control device as specified in paragraph 2.3.3.1. so as to ensure that the flow rate in the sys-
tem is constant and the sampling rate accordingly proportional.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICES

3.1.

Variable dilution device with positive displacement pump (PDP-CVS) (Figure 5/3)

3.1.1.

3.1.2.

The positive displacement pump — constant volume sampler (PDP-CVS) satisfies the requirements of this
Annex by metering the flow of gas through the pump at constant temperature and pressure. The total volume
is measured by counting the revolutions made by the calibrated positive displacement pump. The proportional
sample is achieved by sampling with pump, flow-meter and flow control valve at a constant flow rate.

Figure 5/3 is a schematic drawing of such a sampling system. Since various configurations can produce accu-
rate results, exact conformity with the drawing is not essential. Additional components such as instruments,
valves, solenoids and switches may be used to provide additional information and co-ordinate the functions of
the component system.

3.1.3.

The sampling equipment consists of:

3.1.3.1.

A filter (D) for the dilution air, which can be preheated if necessary. This filter shall consist of activated char-
coal sandwiched between two layers of paper, and shall be used to reduce and stabilise the hydrocarbon con-
centrations of ambient emissions in the dilution air;

3.1.3.2.

A mixing chamber (M) in which exhaust gas and air are mixed homogeneously;

3.1.3.3.

A heat exchanger (H) of a capacity sufficient to ensure that throughout the test the temperature of the
air/exhaust-gas mixture measured at a point immediately upstream of the positive displacement pump is within
6 K of the designed operating temperature. This device shall not affect the pollutant concentrations of diluted
gases taken off after for analysis;

3.1.3.4.

A temperature control system (TC), used to preheat the heat exchanger before the test and to control its tem-
perature during the test, so that deviations from the designed operating temperature are limited to 6 K;

3.1.3.5.

The positive displacement pump (PDP), producing a constant-volume flow of the air/exhaust-gas mixture; the
flow capacity of the pump shall be large enough to eliminate water condensation in the system under all oper-
ating conditions which may occur during a test; this can be generally ensured by using a positive displacement
pump with a flow capacity:

3.1.3.5.1.

twice as high as the maximum flow of exhaust gas produced by accelerations of the driving cycle, or

3.1.3.5.2.

sufficient to ensure that the CO2 concentration in the dilute-exhaust sample bag is less than 3 per cent by vol-
ume for petrol and diesel, less than 2,2 per cent by volume for LPG and less than 1,5 per cent by volume for
NG.

3.1.3.6.

A temperature sensor (T1), (accuracy and precision ± 1,0 K), fitted immediately upstream of the volume meter
and used to register the pressure difference between the gas mixture and the ambient air;

3.1.3.7.

A pressure gauge (G1), (accuracy and precision ± 0,4 kPa), fitted immediately upstream of the positive displace-
ment pump and used to register the pressure gradient between the gas mixture and the ambient air;

3.1.3.8.

Another pressure gauge (G2), accuracy and precision ± 0,4 kPa), fitted so that the differential pressure between
pump inlet and pump outlet can be registered;

3.1.3.9.

Two sampling probes (S1 and S2) for continuous sampling of the dilution air and of the diluted exhaust-gas/air
mixture;

3.1.3.10.

A filter (F), to extract solid particles from the flows of gas collected for analysis;

3.1.3.11.

Pumps (P), to collect a constant flow of the dilution air as well as of the diluted exhaust-gas/air mixture during
the test;

L 119/101

3.1.3.12.

Flow controllers (N), to ensure a constant uniform flow of the gas samples taken during the course of the test
from sampling probes S1 and S2 and flow of the gas samples shall be such that, at the end of each test, the quan-
tity of the samples is sufficient for analysis (approx. 10 litres per minute);

3.1.3.13.

Flow meters (FL), for adjusting and monitoring the constant flow of gas samples during the test;

3.1.3.14.

Quick-acting valves (V), to divert a constant flow of gas samples into the sampling bags or to the outside vent;

3.1.3.15.

Gas-tight, quick-lock coupling elements (Q) between the quick-acting valves and the sampling bags; the cou-
pling shall close automatically on the sampling-bag side; as an alternative, other ways of transporting the
samples to the analyser may be used (three-way stopcocks, for instance);

3.1.3.16.

Bags (B), for collecting samples of the diluted exhaust gas and of the dilution air during the test; they shall be of
sufficient capacity not to impede the sample flow; the bag material shall be such as to affect neither the mea-
surements themselves nor
laminated
polyethylene/polyamide films, or fluorinated polyhydrocarbons);

the chemical composition of

the gas samples (for

instance:

3.1.3.17.

A digital counter (C), to register the number of revolutions performed by the positive displacement pump dur-
ing the test.

Critical-flow venturi dilution device (CFV-CVS) (Figure 5/4)

3.2.1.

The use of a critical-flow venturi in connection with the CVS sampling procedure is based on the principles of
flow mechanics for critical flow. The variable mixture flow rate of dilution and exhaust gas is maintained at
sonic velocity which is directly proportional to the square root of the gas temperature. Flow is continually moni-
tored, computed and integrated throughout the test.

The use of an additional critical-flow sampling venturi ensures the proportionality of the gas samples taken. As
both pressure and temperature are equal at the two venturi inlets the volume of the gas flow diverted for sam-
pling is proportional to the total volume of diluted exhaust-gas mixture produced, and thus the requirements
of this annex are met.

Figure 5/4 is a schematic drawing of such a sampling system. Since various configurations can produce accu-
rate results, exact conformity with the drawing is not essential. Additional components such as instruments,

The collecting equipment consists of:

3.2.3.1.

3.2.3.13.

Bags (B) for collecting samples of the diluted exhaust gas and the dilution air during the tests; they shall be of
sufficient capacity not to impede the sample flow; the bag material shall be such as to affect neither the mea-
surements themselves nor
laminated
polyethylene/polyamide films, or fluorinated poly-hydrocarbons);

the chemical composition of

the gas samples (for

instance:

3.2.3.14.

A pressure gauge (G), which shall be precise and accurate to within ± 0,4 kPa;

The capacity of the CFV-CVS system shall be such that, under all operating conditions which may possibly occur
during a test, there will be no condensation of water. This is generally ensured by using a blower whose capac-
ity is:

3.2.3.18.1.

Method of calibrating the equipment

1.

ESTABLISHMENT OF THE CALIBRATION CURVE

1.1.

1.2.

1.3.

Each normally used operating range is calibrated in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 4.3.3. of
Annex 4 by the following procedure:

The analyser calibration curve is established by at least five calibration points spaced as uniformly as possible. The
nominal concentration of the calibration gas of the highest concentration shall be not less than 80 per cent of the
full scale.

The calibration curve is calculated by the least squares method. If the resulting polynomial degree is greater than
3, the number of calibration points shall be at least equal to this polynomial degree plus 2.

1.4.

The calibration curve shall not differ by more than ± 2 per cent from the nominal value of each calibration gas.

1.5.

Trace of the calibration curve

From the trace of the calibration curve and the calibration points, it is possible to verify that the calibration has
been carried out correctly. The different characteristic parameters of the analyser shall be indicated, particularly:

— the scale,

— the sensitivity,

— the zero point,

— the date of carrying out the calibration.

1.6.

If it can be shown to the satisfaction of the technical service that alternative technology (e.g. computer, electroni-
cally controlled range switch, etc.) can give equivalent accuracy, then these alternatives may be used.

1.7.

Verification of the calibration

1.7.1.

Each normally used operating range shall be checked prior to each analysis in accordance with the following:

1.7.2.

The calibration shall be checked by using a zero gas and a span gas whose nominal value is within 80-95 per cent
of the supposed value to be analysed.

1.7.3.

If, for the two points considered, the value found does not differ by more than ± 5 per cent of the full scale from
the theoretical value, the adjustment parameters may be modified. Should this not be the case, a new calibration
curve shall be established in accordance with paragraph 1 of this appendix.

1.7.4.

After testing, zero gas and the same span gas are used for re-checking. The analysis is considered acceptable if the
difference between the two measuring results is less than 2 per cent.

2.

CHECKING FOR FID HYDROCARBON RESPONSE

2.1.

Detector response optimisation

The FID shall be adjusted, as specified by the instrument manufacturer. Propane in air should be used, to optimise
the response, on the most common operating range.

2.2.

Calibration of the HC analyser

The analyser should be calibrated using propane in air and purified synthetic air. See paragraph 4.5.2. of Annex 4
(calibration and span gases).

Establish a calibration curve as described in paragraphs 1.1. to 1.5. of this Appendix.

2.3.

Response factors of different hydrocarbons and recommended limits

The response factor (Rf), for a particular hydrocarbon species is the ratio of the FID C1 reading to the gas cylinder
concentration, expressed as ppm C1.

The concentration of the test gas shall be at a level to give a response of approximately 80 per cent of full-scale
deflection, for the operating range. The concentration shall be known, to an accuracy of ± 2 per cent in reference
to a gravimetric standard expressed in volume. In addition, the gas cylinder shall be pre-conditioned for 24 hours
at a temperature between 293 K and 303 K (20 and 30 °C).

Response factors should be determined when introducing an analyser into service and thereafter at major service
intervals. The test gases to be used and the recommended response factors are:

Methane and purified air:

1,00 < Rf < 1,15

or 1,00 < Rf < 1,05

for NG fuelled vehicles

Propylene and purified air:

0,90 < Rf < 1,00

Toluene and purified air:

0,90 < Rf < 1,00

Relative to a response factor (Rf) of 1,00 for propane and purified air.

2.4.

Oxygen interference check and recommended limits

The response factor shall be determined as described in paragraph 2.3. above. The test gas to be used and recom-
mended response factor range is:

Propane and nitrogen: 0,95 < Rf < 1,05

3.

EFFICIENCY TEST OF THE NOx CONVERTER

The efficiency of the converter used for the conversion of NO2 into NO is tested as follows:

Using the test set up as shown in Figure 6/1 and the procedure described below, the efficiency of converters can be
tested by means of an ozonator.

Calibrate the analyzer in the most common operating range following the manufacturer’s specifications using zero
and span gas (the NO content of which shall amount to about 80 per cent of the operating range and the NO2
concentration of the gas mixture shall be less than 5 per cent of the NO concentration). The NOx analyser shall be
in the NO mode so that the span gas does not pass through the converter. Record the indicated concentration.

Via a T-fitting, oxygen or synthetic air is added continuously to the span gas flow until the concentration indicated
is about 10 per cent less than the indicated calibration concentration given in paragraph 3.1. above. Record the
indicated concentration (C). The ozonator is kept deactivated throughout this process.

The ozonator is now activated to generate enough ozone to bring the NO concentration down to 20 per cent
(minimum 10 per cent) of the calibration concentration given in paragraph 3.1. above. Record the indicated con-
centration (d).

The NOx analyser is then switched to the NOx mode, which means that the gas mixture (consisting of NO, NO2,
O2 and N2) now passes through the converter. Record the indicated concentration (a).

The ozonator is now deactivated. The mixture of gases described in paragraph 3.2. above passes through the con-
verter into the detector. Record the indicated concentration (b).

With the ozonator deactivated, the flow of oxygen or synthetic air is also shut off. The NO2 reading of the analyser
shall then be no more than 5 per cent above the figure given in paragraph 3.1. above.

CALIBRATION OF THE CVS SYSTEM

4.1.

4.1.1.

The CVS system shall be calibrated by using an accurate flow-meter and a restricting device. The flow through the
system shall be measured at various pressure readings and the control parameters of the system measured and
related to the flows.

Various types of flow-meter may be used, e.g. calibrated venturi, laminar flow-meter, calibrated turbine-meter, pro-
vided that they are dynamic measurement systems and can meet the requirements of paragraphs 4.4.1. and 4.4.2.
of Annex 4.

4.1.2.

The following paragraphs give details of methods of calibrating PDP and CFV units, using a laminar flow-meter,
which gives the required accuracy, together with a statistical check on the calibration validity.

4.2.

Calibration of the positive displacement pump (PDP)

4.2.1.

The following calibration procedure outlines the equipment, the test configuration and the various parameters
which are measured to establish the flow-rate of the CVS pump. All the parameters related to the pump are simul-
taneously measured with the parameters related to the flow-meter which is connected in series with the pump.
The calculated flow-rate (given in m3/min. at pump inlet, absolute pressure and temperature) can then be plotted
versus a correlation function which is the value of a specific combination of pump parameters. The linear equa-
tion which relates the pump flow and the correlation function is then determined. In the event that a CVS has a
multiple speed drive, a calibration for each range used shall be performed.

4.2.2.

This calibration procedure is based on the measurement of the absolute values of the pump and flow-meter param-
eters that relate the flow rate at each point. Three conditions shall be maintained to ensure the accuracy and integ-
rity of the calibration curve:

4.2.2.1. The pump pressures shall be measured at tappings on the pump rather than at the external piping on the pump
inlet and outlet. Pressure taps that are mounted at the top centre and bottom centre of the pump drive headplate
are exposed to the actual pump cavity pressures, and therefore reflect the absolute pressure differentials;

L 119/108

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

6.5.2008

4.2.2.2. Temperature stability shall be maintained during the calibration. The laminar flow-meter is sensitive to inlet tem-
perature oscillations which cause the data points to be scattered. Gradual changes of ± 1 K in temperature are
acceptable as long as they occur over a period of several minutes;

4.2.2.3. All connections between the flow-meter and the CVS pump shall be free of any leakage.

4.2.3.

During an exhaust emission test, the measurement of these same pump parameters enables the user to calculate
the flow rate from the calibration equation.

4.2.3.1. Figure 6/2 of this appendix shows one possible test set-up. Variations are permissible, provided that they are
approved by the administration granting the approval as being of comparable accuracy. If the set-up shown in
Appendix 5, Figure 5/3, is used, the following data shall be found within the limits of precision given:

barometric pessure (corrected)(Pb)

ambient temperature (T)

air temperature at LFE (ETI)

pressure depression upstream of LFE (EPI)

pressure drop across the LFE matrix (EDP)

air temperature at CVS pump inlet (PTI)

air temperature at CVS pump outlet (PTO)

pressure depression at CVS pump inlet (PPI)

pressure head at CVS pump outlet (PPO)

± 0,0015 kPa

4.2.3.2. After the system has been connected as shown in Figure 6/2 of this Appendix, set the variable restrictor in the wide-

open position and run the CVS pump for 20 minutes before starting the calibration.

4.2.3.3. Reset the restrictor valve to a more restricted condition in an increment of pump inlet depression (about 1 kPa)
that will yield a minimum of six data points for the total calibration. Allow the system to stabilise for three min-
utes and repeat the data acquisition.

4.2.4.

Data analysis

4.2.4.1. The air flow rate (Qs) at each test point is calculated in standard m3/min. from the flow-meter data using the manu-

facturer’s prescribed method.

4.2.4.2. The air flow-rate is then converted to pump flow (V0) in m3/rev at absolute pump inlet temperature and pressure.

V0 =

Qs
n

∙

Tp
273,2

∙

101,33

Pp

where:

V0 = pump flow rate at Tp and Pp given in m3/rev.,
Qs = air flow at 101,33 kPa and 273,2 K given in m3/min.,

Tp = pump inlet temperature (K),

Pp = absolute pump inlet pressure (kPa),

n

= pump speed in min–1.

To compensate for the interaction of pump speed pressure variations at the pump and the pump slip rate, the cor-
relation function (x0) between the pump speed (n), the pressure differential from pump inlet to pump outlet and
the absolute pump outlet pressure is then calculated as follows:

x0 =

1

n√ΔPp

Pe

where:

x0 = correlation function,

ΔPp= pressure differential from pump inlet to pump outlet (kPa)

Pe = absolute outlet pressure (PPO + Pb) (kPa).

A linear least-square fit is performed to generate the calibration equations which have the formulae:

V0 = D0 – M (x0)

n = A – B (ΔPp)

D0, M, A and B are the slope-intercept constants describing the lines.

4.2.4.3. A CVS system that has multiple speeds shall be calibrated on each speed used. The calibration curves generated for
the ranges shall be approximately parallel and the intercept values (D0) shall increase as the pump flow range
decreases.

If the calibration has been performed carefully, the calculated values from the equation will be within 0,5 per cent
of the measured value of V0. Values of M will vary from one pump to another. Calibration is performed at pump
start-up and after major maintenance.

4.3.

Calibration of the critical-flow venturi (CFV)

4.3.1.

Calibration of the CFV is based upon the flow equation for a critical venturi:

Qs =

Kv∙P
√T

where:

Qs = flow,

Kv = calibration coefficient,

P

= absolute pressure (kPa),

T = absolute temperature (K).

Gas flow is a function of inlet pressure and temperature.

L 119/110

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

6.5.2008

The calibration procedure described below establishes the value of the calibration coefficient at measured values of
pressure, temperature and air flow.

4.3.2.

The manufacturer’s recommended procedure shall be followed for calibrating electronic portions of the CFV.

4.3.3. Measurements for flow calibration of the critical flow venturi are required and the following data shall be found

within the limits of precision given:

barometric pressure (corrected) (Pb)

LFE air temperature, flow-meter (ETI)

pressure depression upstream of LFE (EPI)

pressure drop across (EDP) LFE matrix

air flow (Qs)

CFV inlet depression (PPI)

temperature at venturi inlet (Tv)

± 0,03 kPa,

± 0,15 K,

± 0,01 kPa,

± 0,0015 kPa,

± 0,5 per cent,

± 0,02 kPa,

± 0,2 K.

4.3.4.

The equipment shall be set up as shown in figure 3 of this Appendix and checked for leaks. Any leaks between the
flow-measuring device and the critical-flow venturi will seriously affect the accuracy of the calibration.

4.3.5.

The variable-flow restrictor shall be set to the open position, the blower shall be started and the system stabilised.
Data from all instruments shall be recorded.

4.3.6.

The flow restrictor shall be varied and at least eight readings across the critical flow range of the venturi shall be
made.

4.3.7.

The data recorded during the calibration shall be used in the following calculations. The air flow-rate (Qs) at each
test point is calculated from the flow-meter data using the manufacturer’s prescribed method.

Calculate values of the calibration coefficient for each test point:

Kv =

Qs ∙ √Tv
Pv

where:

Qs = flow-rate in m3/min at 273,2 K and 101,33 kPa,

Tv = temperature at the venturi inlet (K),

Pv = absolute pressure at the venturi inlet (kPa).

Plot Kv as a function of venturi inlet pressure. For sonic flow, Kv will have a relatively constant value. As pressure
decreases (vacuum increases) the venturi becomes unchoked and Kv decreases. The resultant Kv changes are not
permissible.

For a minimum of eight points in the critical region, calculate an average Kv and the standard deviation.

If the standard deviation exceeds 0,3 per cent of the average Kv, take corrective action.

Appendix 7

Total system verification

1.

To comply with the requirements of paragraph 4.7. of Annex 4, the total accuracy of the CVS sampling system and
analytical system shall be determined by introducing a known mass of a pollutant gas into the system whilst it is being
operated as if during a normal test and then analysing and calculating the pollutant mass according to the formulae in
Appendix 8 to Annex 4 except that the density of propane shall be taken as 1,967 grams per litre at standard condi-
tions. The following two techniques are known to give sufficient accuracy.

2. Metering a constant flow of pure gas (CO or C3H8) using a critical flow orifice device

2.1. A known quantity of pure gas (CO or C3H8) is fed into the CVS system through the calibrated critical orifice. If the
inlet pressure is high enough, the flow-rate (q), which is adjusted by means of the critical flow orifice, is independent
of orifice outlet pressure (critical flow). If deviations exceeding 5 per cent occur, the cause of the malfunction shall be
determined and corrected. The CVS system is operated as in an exhaust emission test for about 5 to 10 minutes. The
gas collected in the sampling bag is analysed by the usual equipment and the results compared to the concentration of
the gas samples which was known beforehand.

3. Metering a limited quantity of pure gas (CO or C3H8) by means of a gravimetric technique

3.1. The following gravimetric procedure may be used to verify the CVS system.

The weight of a small cylinder filled with either carbon monoxide or propane is determined with a precision of
± 0,01 g. For about 5 to 10 minutes, the CVS system is operated as in a normal exhaust emission test, while CO or
propane is injected into the system. The quantity of pure gas involved is determined by means of differential weighing.
The gas accumulated in the bag is then analysed by means of the equipment normally used for exhaust-gas analysis.
The results are then compared to the concentration figures computed previously.

For each adjustment component with a continuous variation, a sufficient number of characteristic positions shall
be determined.

2.5.2.3.

The measurement of the carbon-monoxide content of exhaust gases shall be carried out for all the possible posi-
tions of the adjustment components, but for components with a continuous variation only the positions defined
in paragraph 2.5.2.2. above shall be adopted.

ANNEX 7

Type IV test

(Determination of evaporative emissions from vehicles with positive-ignition engines)

1.

INTRODUCTION

This annex describes the procedure of the Type IV test according to paragraph 5.3.4. of this Regulation.

This procedure describes a method for the determination of the loss of hydrocarbons by evaporation from the
fuel systems of vehicles with positive-ignition engines.

2.

DESCRIPTION OF TEST

The evaporative emissions test (Figure 7/1 below) is designed to determine hydrocarbon evaporative emissions
as a consequence of diurnal temperatures fluctuation, hot soaks during parking, and urban driving. The test con-
sists of these phases:

2.1.

Test preparation including an urban (Part One) and extra-urban (Part Two) driving cycle,

2.2.

Hot soak loss determination,

2.3.

Diurnal loss determination.

Mass emissions of hydrocarbons from the hot soak and the diurnal loss phases are added up to provide an over-
all result for the test.

3.

VEHICLE AND FUEL

3.1.

Vehicle

3.1.1.

The vehicle shall be in good mechanical condition and have been run in and driven at least 3 000 km before the
test. The evaporative emission control system shall be connected and have been functioning correctly over this
period and the carbon canister(s) shall have been subject to normal use, neither undergoing abnormal purging
nor abnormal loading.

3.2.

Fuel

3.2.1.

The appropriate reference fuel shall be used, as defined in Annex 10 to this Regulation.

4.

TEST EQUIPMENT FOR EVAPORATIVE TEST

4.1.

Chassis dynamometer

The chassis dynamometer shall meet the requirements of Annex 4.

6.5.2008

4.2.

Evaporative emission measurement enclosure

The evaporative emission measurement enclosure shall be a gas-tight rectangular measuring chamber able to con-
tain the vehicle under test. The vehicle shall be accessible from all sides and the enclosure when sealed shall be
gas-tight in accordance with Appendix 1 to this annex. The inner surface of the enclosure shall be impermeable
and non-reactive to hydrocarbons. The temperature conditioning system shall be capable of controlling the inter-
nal enclosure air temperature to follow the prescribed temperature versus time profile throughout the test, and
an average tolerance of 1 K over the duration of the test.

The control system shall be tuned to provide a smooth temperature pattern that has a minimum of overshoot,
hunting, and instability about the desired long-term ambient temperature profile. Interior surface temperatures
shall not be less than 278 K (5 °C) nor more than 328 K (55 °C) at any time during the diurnal emission test. Wall
design shall be such as to promote good dissipation of heat. Interior surface temperatures shall not be below
293 K (20 °C), nor above 325 K (52 °C) for the duration of the hot soak rest.

To accommodate the volume changes due to enclosure temperature changes, either a variable-volume or fixed-
volume enclosure may be used.

4.2.1.

Variable-volume enclosure

The variable-volume enclosure expands and contracts in response to the temperature change of the air mass in
the enclosure. Two potential means of accommodating the internal volume changes are movable panel(s), or a
bellows design, in which an impermeable bag or bags inside the enclosure expand(s) and contracts(s) in response
to internal pressure changes by exchanging air from outside the enclosure. Any design for volume accommoda-
tion shall maintain the integrity of the enclosure as specified in Appendix 1 to this annex over the specified tem-
perature range.

Any method of volume accommodation shall limit the differential between the enclosure internal pressure and
the barometric pressure to a maximum value of ± 0,5 kPa.

The enclosure shall be capable of latching to a fixed volume. A variable volume enclosure shall be capable of
accommodating a + 7 per cent change from its ‘nominal volume’ (see Appendix 1 to this annex, paragraph 2.1.1.),
taking into account temperature and barometric pressure variation during testing.

4.2.2.

Fixed-volume enclosure

The fixed-volume enclosure shall be constructed with rigid panels that maintain a fixed enclosure volume, and
meet the requirements below.

4.2.2.1.

The enclosure shall be equipped with an outlet flow stream that withdraws air at a low, constant rate from the
enclosure throughout the test. An inlet flow stream may provide make-up air to balance the outgoing flow with
incoming ambient air. Inlet air shall be filtered with activated carbon to provide a relatively constant hydrocar-
bon level. Any method of volume accommodation shall maintain the differential between the enclosure internal
pressure and the barometric pressure between 0 and – 5 kPa.

4.2.2.2.

The equipment shall be capable of measuring the mass of hydrocarbon in the inlet and outlet flow streams with
a resolution of 0,01 gram. A bag sampling system may be used to collect a proportional sample of the air with-
drawn from and admitted to the enclosure. Alternatively, the inlet and outlet flow streams may be continuously
analysed using an on-line FID analyser and integrated with the flow measurements to provide a continuous record
of the mass hydrocarbon removal.

show a mean value. The measuring points are extended approximately 0,1 m into the enclosure from the ver-
tical centre line of each side wall at a height of 0,9 ± 0,2 m.

The temperatures of the fuel tank(s) are recorded by means of the sensor positioned in the fuel tank as in para-
graph 5.1.1. below in the case of use of the gasoline canister load option (paragraph 5.1.5. below).

TEST PROCEDURE

5.1.

Test preparation

5.1.1.

The vehicle is mechanically prepared before the test as follows:

(a)

the exhaust system of the vehicle shall not exhibit any leaks,

(b)

the vehicle may be steam-cleaned before the test,

(c)

In the case of use of the gasoline canister load option (paragraph 5.1.5. below) the fuel tank of the vehicle
shall be equipped with a temperature sensor to enable the temperature to be measured at the mid-point of
the fuel in the fuel tank when filled to 40 per cent of its capacity,

(d)

additional fittings, adapters of devices may be fitted to the fuel system in order to allow a complete draining
of the fuel tank. For this purpose it is not necessary to modify the shell of the tank.

(e) The manufacturer may propose a test method in order to take into account the loss of hydrocarbons by

evaporation coming only from the fuel system of the vehicle.

5.1.2.

The vehicle is taken into the test area where the ambient temperature is between 293 and 303 K (20 and 30 °C).

6.5.2008

Official Journal of the European Union

L 119/127

5.1.3.

The ageing of the canister(s) has to be verified. This may be done by demonstrating that it has accumulated a
minimum of 3 000 km. If this demonstration is not given, the following procedure is used. In the case of a mul-
tiple canister system each canister shall undergo the procedure separately.

5.1.3.1.

The canister is removed from the vehicle. Special care shall be taken during this step to avoid damage to com-
ponents and the integrity of the fuel system.

5.1.3.2.

The weight of the canister shall be checked.

5.1.3.3.

The canister is connected to a fuel tank, possibly an external one, filled with reference fuel, to 40 per cent vol-
ume of the fuel tank(s).

5.1.3.4.

The fuel temperature in the fuel tank shall be between 283 K and 287 K (10 and 14 °C).

5.1.3.5.

The (external) fuel tank is heated from 288 K to 318 K (15 to 45 °C) (1 °C increase every 9 minutes).

5.1.3.6.

If the canister reaches breakthrough before the temperature reaches 318 K (45 °C), the heat source shall be turned
off. Then the canister is weighed. If the canister did not reach breakthrough during the heating to 318 K (45 °C),
the procedure from paragraph 5.1.3.3. above shall be repeated until breakthrough occurs.

5.1.3.7.

Breakthrough may be checked as described in paragraphs 5.1.5. and 5.1.6. of this annex, or with the use of
another sampling and analytical arrangement capable of detecting the emission of hydrocarbons from the can-
ister at breakthrough.

5.1.3.8.

The canister shall be purged with 25 ± 5 litres per minute with the emission laboratory air until 300 bed volume
exchanges are reached.

5.1.3.9.

The weight of the canister shall be checked.

5.1.3.10. The steps of the procedure in paragraphs 5.1.3.4. to 5.1.3.9. shall be repeated nine times. The test may be ter-
minated prior to that, after not less than three ageing cycles, if the weight of the canister after the last cycles has
stabilised.

5.1.3.11. The evaporative emission canister is reconnected and the vehicle restored to its normal operating condition.

5.1.4.

One of the methods specified in paragraphs 5.1.5. and 5.1.6. shall be used to precondition the evaporative can-
ister. For vehicles with multiple canisters, each canister shall be preconditioned separately.

5.1.4.1.

Canister emissions are measured to determine breakthrough.

Breakthrough is here defined as the point at which the cumulative quantity of hydrocarbons emitted is equal
to 2 grams.

5.1.4.2.

Breakthrough may be verified using the evaporative emission enclosure as described in paragraphs 5.1.5.
and 5.1.6. respectively. Alternatively, breakthrough may be determined using an auxiliary evaporative canister
connected downstream of the vehicle’s canister. The auxiliary canister shall be well purged with dry air prior to
loading.

5.1.4.3.

The measuring chamber shall be purged for several minutes immediately before the test until a stable background
is obtained. The chamber air mixing fan(s) shall be switched on at this time.

The hydrocarbon analyser shall be zeroed and spanned immediately before the test.

The fuel tank(s) of the vehicle(s) is (are) emptied using the fuel tank drain(s). This shall be done so as not to abnor-
mally purge or abnormally load the evaporative control devices fitted to the vehicle. Removal of the fuel cap is
normally sufficient to achieve this.

5.1.5.2.

The fuel tank(s) is (are) refilled with test fuel at a temperature of between 283 K to 287 K (10 to 14 °C) to 40 ± 2
per cent of the tank’s normal volumetric capacity. The fuel cap(s) of the vehicle shall be fitted at this point.

5.1.5.3. Within one hour of being refuelled the vehicle shall be placed, with the engine shut off, in the evaporative emis-
sion enclosure. The fuel tank temperature sensor is connected to the temperature recording system. A heat source
shall be properly positioned with respect to the fuel tank(s) and connected to the temperature controller. The
heat source is specified in paragraph 4.4. above. In the case of vehicles fitted with more than one fuel tank, all
the tanks shall be heated in the same way as described below. The temperatures of the tanks shall be identical to
within ± 1,5 K.

5.1.5.4.

The fuel may be artificially heated to the starting diurnal temperature of 293 K (20 °C) ± 1 K.

5.1.5.5. When the fuel temperature reaches at least 292 K (19 °C), the following steps shall be taken immediately: the
purge blower shall be turned off; enclosure doors closed and sealed; and measurement initiated of the hydro-
carbon level in the enclosure.

5.1.5.6. When the fuel temperature of the fuel tank reaches 293 K (20 °C) a linear heat build of 15 K (15 °C) begins. The
fuel shall be heated in such a way that the temperature of the fuel during the heating conforms to the function
below to within ± 1,5 K. The elapsed time of the heat build and temperature rise is recorded.

Tr = T0 + 0,2333 × t

where:

Tr = required temperature (K);

T0 = initial temperature (K);

t

= time from start of the tank heat build in minutes.

5.1.5.7.

As soon as break-through occurs or when the fuel temperature reaches 308 K (35 °C), whichever occurs first,
the heat source is turned off, the enclosure doors unsealed and opened, and the vehicle fuel tank cap(s) removed.
If break-through has not occurred by the time the fuel temperature 308 K (35 °C), the heat source is removed
from the vehicle, the vehicle removed from the evaporative emission enclosure and the entire procedure out-
lined in paragraph 5.1.7. below repeated until break-through occurs.

5.1.6.

Butane loading to breakthrough

5.1.6.1.

If the enclosure is used for the determination of the break-through (see paragraph 5.1.4.2. above) the vehicle shall
be placed, with the engine shut off, in the evaporative emission enclosure.

5.1.6.2.

The evaporative emission canister shall be prepared for the canister loading operation. The canister shall not be
removed from the vehicle, unless access to it in its normal location is so restricted that loading can only reason-
ably be accomplished by removing the canister from the vehicle. Special care shall be taken during this step to
avoid damage to the components and the integrity of the fuel system.

5.1.6.3.

The canister is loaded with a mixture composed of 50 per cent butane and 50 per cent nitrogen by volume at a
rate of 40 grams butane per hour.

5.1.6.4.

As soon as the canister reaches breakthrough, the vapour source shall be shut off.

5.1.6.5.

The evaporative emission canister shall then be reconnected and the vehicle restored to its normal operating
condition.

5.1.7.

Fuel drain and refill

5.1.7.1.

The fuel tank(s) of the vehicle(s) is (are) emptied using the fuel tank drain(s). This shall be done so as not to abnor-
mally purge or abnormally load the evaporative control devices fitted to the vehicle. Removal of the fuel cap is
normally sufficient to achieve this.

5.1.7.2.

The fuel tank(s) is (are) refilled with test fuel at a temperature of between 291 ± 8 K (18 ± 8 °C) to 40 + 2 per
cent of the tank’s normal volumetric capacity. The fuel cap(s) of the vehicle shall be fitted at this point.

5.2.

Preconditioning drive

5.2.1.

Within one hour from the completing of canister loading in accordance with paragraphs 5.1.5. or 5.1.6. the

5.4.1.

5.4.2.

After conclusion of the soak period the vehicle is driven through a complete Type I test drive as described in
Annex 4 (cold start urban and extra urban test). Then the engine is shut off. Exhaust emissions may be sampled
during this operation but the results shall not be used for the purpose of exhaust emission type approval.

Within two minutes of completing the Type I test drive specified in paragraph 5.4.1. above the vehicle is driven
a further conditioning drive consisting of one urban test cycle (hot start) of a Type I test. Then the engine is shut
off again. Exhaust emissions need not be sampled during this operation.

5.5.2.

The hydrocarbon analyser shall be zeroed and spanned immediately prior to the test.

5.5.3.

At the end of the driving cycle the engine bonnet shall be completely closed and all connections between the
vehicle and the test stand disconnected. The vehicle is then driven to the measuring chamber with a minimum
use of the accelerator pedal. The engine shall be turned off before any part of the vehicle enters the measuring
chamber. The time at which the engine is switched off is recorded on the evaporative emission measurement
data recording system and temperature recording begins. The vehicle’s windows and luggage compartments shall
be opened at this stage, if not already opened.

5.5.4.

The vehicle shall be pushed or otherwise moved into the measuring chamber with the engine switched off.

5.5.5.

The enclosure doors are closed and sealed gas-tight within two minutes of the engine being switched off and
within seven minutes of the end of the conditioning drive.

5.5.6.

The start of a 60 ± 0,5 minute hot soak period begins when the chamber is sealed. The hydrocarbon concen-
tration, temperature and barometric pressure are measured to give the initial readings CHCi, Pi and Ti for the hot
soak test. These figures are used in the evaporative emission calculation, paragraph 6. below. The ambient tem-
perature T of the enclosure shall not be less than 296 K and no more than 304 K during the 60-minute hot soak
period.

5.5.7.

The hydrocarbon analyser shall be zeroed and spanned immediately before the end of the 60 ± 0,5 minute test
period.

5.5.8.

At the end of the 60 ± 0,5 minute test period, the hydrocarbon concentration in the chamber shall be measured.
The temperature and the barometric pressure are also measured. These are the final readings CHCf, Pf and Tf for
the hot soak test used for the calculation in paragraph 6. below.

Diurnal test

5.7.1.

The test vehicle shall be exposed to one cycle of ambient temperature according to the profile specified in Appen-
dix 2 to this annex with a maximum deviation of ± 2 K at any time. The average temperature deviation from the
profile, calculated using the absolute value of each measured deviation, shall not exceed ± 1 K. Ambient tem-
perature shall be measured at least every minute. Temperature cycling begins when time Tstart = 0, as specified in
paragraph 5.7.6. below.

5.7.2.

The measuring chamber shall be purged for several minutes immediately before the test until a stable background
is obtainable. The chamber mixing fan(s) shall also be switched on at this time.

5.7.3.

The test vehicle, with the engine shut off and the test vehicle windows and luggage compartment(s) opened shall
be moved into the measuring chamber. The mixing fan(s) shall be adjusted in such a way as to maintain a mini-
mum air circulation speed of 8 km/h under the fuel tank of the test vehicle.

5.7.4.

The hydrocarbon analyser shall be zeroed and spanned immediately before the test.

5.7.5.

The enclosure doors shall be closed and gas-tight sealed.

5.7.6.

Within 10 minutes of closing and sealing the doors, the hydrocarbon concentration, temperature and baromet-
ric pressure are measured to give the initial readings CHCi, Pi and Ti for the diurnal test. This is the point where
time Tstart = 0.

5.7.7.

The hydrocarbon analyser shall be zeroed and spanned immediately before the end of the test.

5.7.8.

The end of the emission sampling period occurs 24 hours ± 6 minutes after the beginning of the initial sam-
pling, as specified in paragraph 5.7.6. above. The time elapsed is recorded. The hydrocarbon concentration, tem-
perature and barometric pressure are measured to give the final readings CHCf, Pf and Tf for the diurnal test used
for the calculation in paragraph 6. This completes the evaporative emission test procedure.

6.

CALCULATION

6.1.

The evaporative emission tests described in paragraph 5. allow the hydrocarbon emissions from the diurnal and
hot soak phases to be calculated. Evaporative losses from each of theses phases is calculated using the initial and

volume.

The formula below is used:

MHC = k ∙ V ∙ 10

Calibration of equipment for evaporative emission testing

1.

CALIBRATION FREQUENCY AND METHODS

1.1.

1.2.

All equipment shall be calibrated before its initial use and then calibrated as often as necessary and in any case in
the month before type approval testing. The calibration methods to be used are described in this Appendix.

Normally the series of temperatures which are mentioned first shall be used. The series of temperatures within
square brackets may alternatively be used.

2.

CALIBRATION OF THE ENCLOSURE

2.1.

Initial determination of internal volume of the enclosure

2.1.1.

Before its initial use, the internal volume of the chamber shall be determined as follows:

The internal dimensions of the chamber are carefully measured, allowing for any irregularities such as bracing struts.
The internal volume of the chamber is determined from these measurements.

For variable-volume enclosures, the enclosure shall be latched to a fixed volume when the enclosure is held at an
ambient temperature of 303 K (30 °C) [(302 K (29 °C)]. This nominal volume shall be repeatable within ± 0,5 per
cent of the reported value.

2.1.2.

The net internal volume is determined by subtracting 1,42 m3 from the internal volume of the chamber. Alterna-
tively the volume of the test vehicle with the luggage compartment and windows open may be used instead of the
1,42 m3.

2.1.3.

The chamber shall be checked as in paragraph 2.3. below. If the propane mass does not correspond to the injected
mass to within ± 2 per cent, then corrective action is required.

2.2.

Determination of chamber background emissions

This operation determines that the chamber does not contain any materials that emit significant amounts of hydro-
carbons. The check shall be carried out at the enclosure’s introduction to service, after any operations in the enclo-
sure which may affect background emissions and at a frequency of at least once per year.

2.2.1.

Variable-volume enclosures may be operated in either latched or unlatched volume configuration, as described in
paragraph 2.1.1. above, ambient temperatures shall be maintained at 308 K ± 2 K. (35 ± 2 °C) [309 K ± 2 K
(36 ± 2 °C)], throughout the 4-hour period mentioned below.

2.2.2.

Fixed volume enclosures shall be operated with the inlet and outlet flow streams closed. Ambient temperatures shall
be maintained at 308 K ± 2 K (35 ± 2 °C) [309 K ± 2 K (36 ± 2 °C) throughout the 4-hour period mentioned below.

2.2.3.

The enclosure may be sealed and the mixing fan operated for a period of up to 12 hours before the 4-hour back-
ground sampling period begins.

2.2.4.

The analyser (if required) shall be calibrated, then zeroed and spanned.

2.2.5.

The enclosure shall be purged until a stable hydrocarbon reading is obtained, and the mixing fan turned on if not
already on.

2.2.6.

The chamber is then sealed and the background hydrocarbon concentration, temperature and barometric pressure
are measured. These are the initial readings CHCi, Pi, Ti used in the enclosure background calculation.

L 119/134

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

6.5.2008

2.2.7.

The enclosure is allowed to stand undisturbed with the mixing fan on for a period of four hours.

2.2.8. At the end of this time the same analyser is used to measure the hydrocarbon concentration in the chamber. The

temperature and the barometric pressure are also measured. These are the final readings CHCf, Pf, Tf.

2.2.9.

The change in mass of hydrocarbons in the enclosure shall be calculated over the time of the test in accordance
with paragraph 2.4. below and shall not exceed 0,05 g.

2.3.

Calibration and hydrocarbon retention test of the chamber

The calibration and hydrocarbon retention test in the chamber provides a check on the calculated volume in para-
graph 2.1. above and also measures any leak rate. The enclosure leak rate shall be determined at the enclosure’s
introduction to service, after any operations in the enclosure which may affect the integrity of the enclosure, and at
least monthly thereafter. If six consecutive monthly retention checks are successfully completed without corrective
action, the enclosure leak rate may be determined quarterly thereafter as long as no corrective action is required.

2.3.1.

The enclosure shall be purged until a stable hydrocarbon concentration is reached. The mixing fan is turned on, if
not already switched on. The hydrocarbon analyser is zeroed, calibrated if required, and spanned.

2.3.2. On variable-volume enclosures, the enclosure shall be latched to the nominal volume position. On fixed-volume

enclosures the outlet and inlet flow streams shall be closed.

2.3.3.

The ambient temperature control system is then turned on (if not already on) and adjusted for an initial tempera-
ture of 308 K (35 °C) [309 K (36 °C)].

2.3.4. When the enclosure stabilises at 308 K ± 2 K (35 ± 2 °C) [309 K ± 2 K (36 ± 2 °C)], the enclosure is sealed and the
background concentration, temperature and barometric pressure measured. These are the initial readings
CHCi, Pi, Ti used in the enclosure calibration.

2.3.5. A quantity of approximately 4 grams of propane is injected into the enclosure. The mass of propane shall be mea-

sured to an accuracy and precision of ± 2 per cent of the measured value.

2.3.6.

The contents of the chamber shall be allowed to mix for five minutes and then the hydrocarbon concentration,
temperature and barometric pressure are measured. These are the readings CHCf, Pf, Tf for the calibration of the
enclosure as well as the initial readings CHCi, Pi, Ti for the retention check.

2.3.7.

Based on the readings taken according to paragraphs 2.3.4. and 2.3.6. above and the formula in paragraph 2.4.
below, the mass of propane in the enclosure is calculated. This shall be within ± 2 per cent of the mass of propane
measured in paragraph 2.3.5. above.

2.3.8.

For variable-volume enclosures the enclosure shall be unlatched from the nominal volume configuration. For fixed-
volume enclosures, the outlet and inlet flow streams shall be opened.

2.3.9.

The process is then begun of cycling the ambient temperature from 308 K (35 °C) to 293 K (20 °C) and back
to 308 K (35 °C) [308,6 K (35,6 °C) to 295.2 K (22,2 °C) and back to 308.6 K (35,6 °C)] over a 24-hour period
according to the profile [alternative profile] specified in Appendix 2 to this annex within 15 minutes of sealing the
enclosure. (Tolerances as specified in paragraph 5.7.1. of Annex 7).

2.3.10. At the completion of the 24-hour cycling period, the final hydrocarbon concentration, temperature and baromet-
ric pressure are measured and recorded. These are the final readings CHCf, Pf, Tf for the hydrocarbon retention check.

2.3.11. Using the formula in paragraph 2.4. below, the hydrocarbon mass is then calculated from the readings taken in
paragraphs 2.3.10. and 2.3.6. above. The mass may not differ by more than 3 per cent from the hydrocarbon mass
given in paragraph 2.3.7. above.

CHECKING OF FID HYDROCARBON ANALYZER

3.1.

Detector response optimisation

The FID shall be adjusted as specified by the instrument manufacturer. Propane in air should be used to optimise
the response on the most common operating range.

3.2.

Calibration of the HC analyser

The analyser should be calibrated using propane in air and purified synthetic air. See paragraph 4.5.2. of Annex 4
(Calibration and span gases).

Establish a calibration curve as described in paragraphs 4.1. to 4.5. of this appendix.

3.3.

Oxygen interference check and recommended limits

The response factor (Rf) for a particular hydrocarbon species is the ratio of the FID C1 reading to the gas cylinder
concentration, expressed as ppm C1. The concentration of the test gas shall be at a level to give a response of
approximately 80 per cent of full-scale deflection, for the operating range. The concentration shall be known, to an
accuracy of ± 2 per cent in reference to a gravimetric standard expressed in volume. In addition the gas cylinder
shall be preconditioned for 24 hours at a temperature between 293 K and 303 K (20 and 30 °C).

Response factors should be determined when introducing an analyser into service and thereafter at major service
intervals. The reference gas to be used is propane with balance purified air which is taken to give a response factor
of 1,00.

The test gas to be used for oxygen interference and the recommended response factor range are given below:

Propane and nitrogen: 0,95 ≤ Rf ≤ 1,05.

CALIBRATION OF THE HYDROCARBON ANALYZER

Each of the normally used operating ranges are calibrated by the following procedure:

4.1.

4.2.

Establish the calibration curve by at least five calibration points spaced as evenly as possible over the operating
range. The nominal concentration of the calibration gas with the highest concentrations to be at least 80 per cent
of the full scale.

Calculate the calibration curve by the method of least squares. If the resulting polynomial degree is greater than 3,
then the number of calibration points shall be at least the number of the polynomial degree plus 2.

4.3.

The calibration curve shall not differ by more than 2 per cent from the nominal value of each calibration gas.

4.4.

Using the coefficients of the polynomial derived from paragraph 3.2. above, a table of indicated reading against
true concentration shall be drawn up in steps of no greater than 1 per cent of full scale. This is to be carried out for
each analyser range calibrated. The table shall also contain other relevant data such as:

(a)

date of calibration, span and zero potentiometer readings (where applicable),

(b) nominal scale,

(c)

reference data of each calibration gas used,

(d)

the actual and indicated value of each calibration gas used together with the percentage differences,

(e)

FID fuel and type,

(f)

FID air pressure.

4.5.

If it can be shown to the satisfaction of the technical service that alternative technology (e.g. computer, electroni-
cally controlled range switch) can give equivalent accuracy, then those alternatives may be used.

ANNEX 8

Type VI test

(Verifying the average exhaust emissions of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons after a cold start at low ambient
temperature)

1.

INTRODUCTION

This annex applies only to vehicles with positive-ignition engines. It describes the equipment required and the pro-
cedure for the Type VI test defined in paragraph 5.3.5 of this Regulation in order to verify the emissions of carbon
monoxide and hydrocarbons at low ambient temperatures. Topics addressed in this Regulation include:

(i)

Equipment requirements;

(ii) Test conditions;

(iii) Test procedures and data requirements.

2.

TEST EQUIPMENT

2.1.

Summary

2.1.1.

This chapter deals with the equipment needed for low ambient temperature exhaust emission tests of positive-
ignition engined vehicles. Equipment required and specifications are equivalent to the requirements for the Type I
test as specified in Annex 4, with appendices, if specific requirements for the Type VI test are not prescribed. Para-
graphs 2.2. to 2.6. describe deviations applicable to Type VI low ambient temperature testing.

2.2.

Chassis dynamometer

2.2.1.

The requirements of paragraph 4.1. of Annex 4 apply. The dynamometer shall be adjusted to simulate the opera-
tion of a vehicle on the road at 266 K (– 7 °C). Such adjustment may be based on a determination of the road load
force profile at 266 K (– 7 °C). Alternatively the driving resistance determined according to Appendix 3 of
Annex 4 may be adjusted for a 10 per cent decrease of the coast-down time. The technical service may approve
the use of other methods of determining the driving resistance.

2.2.2.

For calibration of the dynamometer the provisions of Appendix 2 to Annex 4 apply.

2.3.

Sampling system

2.3.1.

The provisions of paragraph 4.2. of Annex 4 and Appendix 5 to Annex 4 apply. Paragraph 2.3.2. of Appendix 5
is modified to read:

‘The piping configuration, flow capacity of the CVS, and the temperature and specific humidity of the dilution air
(which may be different from the vehicle combustion air source) shall be controlled so as to virtually eliminate
water condensation in the system (a flow of 0,142 to 0,165 m3/s is sufficient for most vehicles).’

VEHICLE PRECONDITIONING

4.1.

Summary

4.1.1.

To ensure reproducible emission tests, the test vehicles shall be conditioned in a uniform manner. The condition-
ing consists of a preparatory drive on a chassis dynamometer followed by a soak period before the emission test
according to paragraph 4.3.

4.2.

Preconditioning

4.2.1.

The fuel tank(s) shall be filled with the specified test fuel. If the existing fuel in the fuel tank(s) does not meet the
specifications contained in paragraph 3.4.1. above, the existing fuel shall be drained prior to the fuel fill. The test
fuel shall be at a temperature less than or equal to 289 K (+ 16 °C). For the above operations the evaporative emis-
sion control system shall neither be abnormally purged nor abnormally loaded.

6.5.2008

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

L 119/141

4.2.2.

The vehicle is moved to the test cell and placed on the chassis dynamometer.

4.2.3.

The preconditioning consists of the driving cycle according to Annex 4, Appendix 1, Figure 1/1, Parts One and
Two. At the request of the manufacturer, vehicles with a positive-ignition engine may be preconditioned with one
Part One and two Part Two driving cycles.

4.2.4.

During the preconditioning the test cell temperature shall remain relatively constant and not be higher than 303 K
(30 °C)

4.2.5.

The drive-wheel tyre pressure shall be set in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 5.3.2 of Annex 4.

4.2.6. Within ten minutes of completion of the preconditioning, the engine shall be switched off.

4.2.7.

If requested by the manufacturer and approved by the technical service, additional preconditioning may in excep-
tional cases be allowed. The technical service may also choose to conduct additional preconditioning. The addi-
tional preconditioning consists of one or more driving schedules of the Part One cycle as described in Annex 4,
Appendix 1. The extent of such additional preconditioning shall be recorded in the test report.

4.3.

Soak methods

4.3.1.

One of the following two methods, to be selected by the manufacturer, shall be utilised to stabilise the vehicle
before the emission test.

4.3.2.

Standard method

The vehicle is stored for not less than 12 hours nor for more than 36 hours prior to the low ambient temperature
exhaust emission test. The ambient temperature (dry bulb) during this period shall be maintained at an average
temperature of:

266 K (– 7 °C) ± 3 K during each hour of this period and shall not be less than 260 K (– 13 °C) nor more than
272 K (– 1 °C). In addition, the temperature may not fall below 263 K (– 10 °C) nor more than 269 K (– 4 °C) for
more than three consecutive minutes.

4.3.3.

Forced method

The vehicle shall be stored for not more than 36 hours prior to the low ambient temperature exhaust emission
test.

4.3.3.1. The vehicle shall not be stored at ambient temperatures which exceed 303 K (30 °C) during this period.

4.3.3.2. Vehicle cooling may be accomplished by force-cooling the vehicle to the test temperature. If cooling is augmented
by fans, the fans shall be placed in a vertical position so that the maximum cooling of the drive train and engine
is achieved and not primarily the sump. Fans shall not be placed under the vehicle.

4.3.3.3. The ambient temperature need only be stringently controlled after the vehicle has been cooled to 266 K (– 7 °C)

± 2 K, as determined by a representative bulk oil temperature.

A representative bulk oil temperature is the temperature of the oil measured near the middle of the oil sump, not
at the surface or at the bottom of the oil sump. If two or more diverse locations in the oil are monitored, they shall
all meet the temperature requirements.

4.3.3.4. The vehicle shall be stored for at least one hour after is has been cooled to 266 K (– 7 °C) ± 2 K, prior to the low
ambient temperature exhaust emission test. The ambient temperature (dry bulb) during this period shall average
266 K (– 7 °C) ± 3 K, and shall not be less than 260 K (– 13 °C) or more than 272 K (– 1 °C),

In addition, the temperature may not fall below 263 K (– 10 °C) or exceed 269 K (– 4 °C), for more than three con-
secutive minutes.

L 119/142

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

6.5.2008

4.3.4.

If the vehicle is stabilised at 266 K (– 7 °C), in a separate area and is moved through a warm area to the test cell,
the vehicle shall be destabilised in the test cell for at least six times the period the vehicle is exposed to warmer
temperatures. The ambient temperature (dry bulb) during this period shall average 266 K (– 7 °C) ± 3 K and shall
not be less than 260 K (– 13 °C) nor more than 272 K (– 1 °C).

In addition, the temperature may not fall below 263 K (– 10 °C) or exceed 269 K (– 4 °C), for more than three con-
secutive minutes.

5.

DYNAMOMETER PROCEDURE

5.1.

Summary

5.1.1.

The emission sampling is performed over a test procedure consisting of the Part One cycle (Annex 4, Appendix 1,
Figure 1/1). Engine start-up, immediate sampling, operation over the Part One cycle and engine shut-down make
a complete low ambient temperature test, with a total test time of 780 seconds. The exhaust emissions are diluted
with ambient air and a continuously proportional sample is collected for analysis. The exhaust gases collected in
the bag are analysed for hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. A parallel sample of the dilution air
is similarly analysed for carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide.

5.2.

Dynamometer operation

5.2.1.

Cooling fan

5.2.1.1. A cooling fan is positioned so that cooling air is appropriately directed to the radiator (water cooling) or to the air

intake (air-cooling) and to the vehicle.

5.2.1.2. For front-engined vehicles, the fan shall be positioned in front of the vehicle, within 300 mm of it. In the case of
rear-engined vehicles or if the above arrangement is impractical, the cooling fan shall be positioned so that suffi-
cient air is supplied to cool the vehicle.

5.2.1.3. The fan speed shall be such that, within the operating range of 10 km/h to at least 50 km/h, the linear velocity of
the air at the blower outlet is within ± 5 km/h of the corresponding roller speed. The final selection of the blower
shall have the following characteristics:

(i)

area: at least 0,2 m2,

(ii) height of the lower edge above ground: approximately 20 cm.

As an alternative the blower linear air speed shall be at least 6 m/s (21,6 km/h). At the request of the manufac-
turer, for special vehicles (e.g. vans, off-road) the height of the cooling fan may be modified.

5.2.1.4. The vehicle speed as measured from the dynamometer roll(s) shall be used (paragraph 4.1.4.4. of Annex 4).

5.2.3.

Preliminary testing cycles may be carried out if necessary, to determine how best to actuate the accelerator and
brake controls so as to achieve a cycle approximating to the theoretical cycle within the prescribed limits, or to
permit sampling system adjustment. Such driving shall be carried out before ‘START’ according to Figure 8/1.

5.2.4.

Humidity in the air shall be kept low enough to prevent condensation on the dynamometer roll(s).

5.2.5.

The dynamometer shall be thoroughly warmed as recommended by the dynamometer manufacturer, and using
procedures or control methods that assure stability of the residual frictional power.

5.2.6.

The time between dynamometer warming and the start of the emission test shall be no longer than 10 minutes if
the dynamometer bearings are not independently heated. If the dynamometer bearings are independently heated,
the emission test shall begin no longer than 20 minutes after dynamometer warming.

6.5.2008

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

L 119/143

5.2.7.

If the dynamometer power is to be adjusted manually, it shall be set within one hour prior to the exhaust emission
test phase. The test vehicle may not be used to make the adjustment. The dynamometer, using automatic control
of pre-selectable power settings, may be set at any time prior to the beginning of the emission test.

5.2.8.

Before the emission test driving schedule may begin, the test cell temperature shall be 266 K (– 7 °C) ± 2 K, as mea-
sured in the air stream of the cooling fan with a maximum distance of 1,5 m from the vehicle.

5.2.9.

During operation of the vehicle the heating and defrosting devices shall be shut off.

5.2.10. The total driving distance or roller revolutions measured are recorded.

5.2.11. A four-wheel drive vehicle shall be tested in a two-wheel drive mode of operation. The determination of the total
road force for dynamometer setting is performed while operating the vehicle in its primary designed driving mode.

5.3.

Performing the test

5.3.1.

The provisions of paragraphs 6.2. to 6.6., excluding 6.2.2., of Annex 4 apply in respect of starting the engine, car-
rying out the test and taking the emission samples. The sampling begins before or at the initiation of the engine
start-up procedure and ends on conclusion of the final idling period of the last elementary cycle of the Part One
(urban driving cycle), after 780 seconds.

The first driving cycle starts with a period of 11 seconds idling as soon as the engine has started.

5.3.2.

For the analysis of the sampled emissions the provisions of paragraph 7.2. of Annex 4 apply. In performing the
exhaust sample analysis the technical service shall exercise care to prevent condensation of water vapour in the
exhaust gas sampling bags.

5.3.3.

For the calculations of the mass emissions the provisions of paragraph 8. of Annex 4 apply.

6.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS

6.1.

Irrational emission control strategy

6.1.1.

Any irrational emission control strategy which results in a reduction in effectiveness of the emission control sys-
tem under normal operating conditions at low temperature driving, so far as not covered by the standardised emis-
sion tests, may be considered a defeat device.

5.4.2.

Operation on track or road

When the durability test is completed on track or road, the vehicle’s reference mass will be at least equal to that
retained for tests conducted on a chassis dynamometer.

6.

MEASURING EMISSIONS OF POLLUTANTS

At the start of the test (0 km), and every 10 000 km (± 400 km) or more frequently, at regular intervals until hav-
ing covered 80 000 km, exhaust emissions are measured in accordance with the Type I test as defined in para-
graph 5.3.1. of this Regulation. The limit values to be complied with are those laid down in paragraph 5.3.1.4. of
this Regulation.

In the case of vehicles equipped with periodically regenerating systems as defined in paragraph 2.20. of this Regu-
lation, it shall be checked that the vehicle is not approaching a regeneration period. If this is the case, the vehicle
must be driven until the end of the regeneration. If a regeneration occurs during the emissions measurement, a
new test (including preconditioning) shall be performed, and the first result not taken into account.

All exhaust emissions results shall be plotted as a function of the running distance on the system rounded to the
nearest kilometre and the best fit straight line fitted by the method of least squares shall be drawn through all these
data points. This calculation shall not take into account the test results at 0 km.

The data will be acceptable for use in the calculation of the deterioration factor only if the interpolated 6 400 km
and 80 000 km points on this line are within the above mentioned limits.

The data are still acceptable when a best fit straight line crosses an applicable limit with a negative slope (the
6 400 km interpolated point is higher than the 80 000 km interpolated point) but the 80 000 km actual data point
is below the limit.

A multiplicative exhaust emission deterioration factor shall be calculated for each pollutant as follows:

D . E . F . =

Mi2
Mi1

where:

Mi1 = mass emission of the pollutant i in g/km interpolated to 6 400 km,

Mi2 = mass emission of the pollutant i in g/km interpolated to 80 000 km.

These interpolated values shall be carried out to a minimum of four places to the right of the decimal point before
dividing one by the other to determine the deterioration factor. The result shall be rounded to three places to the
right of the decimal point.

If a deterioration factor is less than one, it is deemed to be equal to one.

ANNEX 11

On-board diagnostics (OBD) for motor vehicles

1.

INTRODUCTION

This annex applies to the functional aspects of on-board diagnostic (OBD) system for the emission control of motor
vehicles.

2.

DEFINITIONS

For the purposes of this annex:

2.1.

2.2.

2.3.

2.4.

2.5.

2.6.

2.7.

2.8.

‘OBD’ means an on-board diagnostic system for emission control which shall have the capability of identifying the
likely area of malfunction by means of fault codes stored in computer memory.

‘Vehicle type’ means a category of power-driven vehicles which do not differ in such essential engine and OBD
system characteristics.

‘Vehicle family’ means a manufacturer’s grouping of vehicles which, through their design, are expected to have simi-
lar exhaust emission and OBD system characteristics. Each vehicle of this family shall have complied with the
requirements of this Regulation as defined in Appendix 2 to this annex.

‘Emission control system’ means the electronic engine management controller and any emission-related compo-
nent in the exhaust or evaporative system which supplies an input to or receives an output from this controller.

‘Malfunction indicator (MI)’ means a visible or audible indicator that clearly informs the driver of the vehicle in the
event of a malfunction of any emission-related component connected to the OBD system, or the OBD system itself.

‘Malfunction’ means the failure of an emission-related component or system that would result in emissions exceed-
ing the limits in paragraph 3.3.2. or if the OBD system is unable to fulfil the basic monitoring requirements of this
annex

‘Secondary air’ refers to air introduced into the exhaust system by means of a pump or aspirator valve or other
means that is intended to aid in the oxidation of HC and CO contained in the exhaust gas stream.

‘Engine misfire’ means lack of combustion in the cylinder of a positive-ignition engine due to absence of spark,
poor fuel metering, poor compression or any other cause. In terms of OBD monitoring it is that percentage of mis-
fires out of a total number of firing events (as declared by the manufacturer) that would result in emissions exceed-
ing the limits given in paragraph 3.3.2. or that percentage that could lead to an exhaust catalyst, or catalysts,
overheating causing irreversible damage.

2.9.

‘Type I test’ means the driving cycle (Parts One and Two) used for emission approvals, as detailed in Annex 4,
Appendix 1.

2.10.

A ‘driving cycle’ consists of engine start-up, driving mode where a malfunction would be detected if present, and
engine shut-off.

2.11.

A ‘warm-up cycle’ means sufficient vehicle operation such that the coolant temperature has risen by a least 22 K
from engine starting and reaches a minimum temperature of 343 K (70 °C).

2.12.

A ‘Fuel trim’ refers to feedback adjustments to the base fuel schedule. Short-term fuel trim refers to dynamic or
instantaneous adjustments. Long-term fuel trim refers to much more gradual adjustments to the fuel calibration
schedule than short-term trim adjustments. These long-term adjustments compensate for vehicle differences and
gradual changes that occur over time.

6.5.2008

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

L 119/155

2.13.

A ‘Calculated load value’ refers to an indication of the current airflow divided by peak airflow, where peak airflow
is corrected for altitude, if available. This definition provides a dimensionless number that is not engine specific
and provides the service technician with an indication of the proportion of engine capacity that is being used (with
wide open throttle as 100 per cent);

CLV =

Current airflow

Peak airflow (at sea level)

∙

Atmospheric pressure (at sea level)

Barometric pressure

2.14.

‘Permanent emission default mode’ refers to a case where the engine management controller permanently switches
to a setting that does not require an input from a failed component or system where such a failed component or
system would result in an increase in emissions from the vehicle to a level above the limits given in paragraph 3.3.2.
of this annex.

2.15.

‘Power take-off unit’ means an engine-driven output provision for the purposes of powering auxiliary, vehicle
mounted, equipment.

2.16.

‘Access’ means the availability of all emission-related OBD data including all fault codes required for the inspec-
tion, diagnosis, servicing or repair of emissions-related parts of the vehicle, via the serial interface for the standard
diagnostic connection (pursuant to Appendix 1 to this annex, paragraph 6.5.3.5.).

2.17.

‘Unrestricted’ means:

2.17.1.

access not dependent on an access code obtainable only from the manufacturer, or a similar device, or

2.17.2.

access allowing evaluation of the data produced without the need for any unique decoding information, unless that
information itself is standardised.

2.18.

2.19.

‘Standardised’ means that all data stream information, including all fault codes used, shall be produced only in
accordance with industry standards which, by virtue of the fact that their format and their permitted options are
clearly defined, provide for a maximum level of harmonisation in the motor vehicle industry, and whose use is
expressly permitted in this Regulation.

‘Repair information’ means all information required for diagnosis, servicing, inspection, periodic monitoring or
repair of the vehicle and which the manufacturers provide for their authorised dealers/repair shops. Where nec-
essary, such information shall include service handbooks, technical manuals, diagnosis information (e.g. minimum
and maximum theoretical values for measurements), wiring diagrams, the software calibration identification num-
ber applicable to a vehicle type, instructions for individual and special cases, information provided concerning tools
and equipment, data record information and two-directional monitoring and test data. The manufacturer shall not
be obliged to make available that information which is covered by intellectual property rights or constitutes spe-
cific know-how of manufacturers and/or OEM suppliers; in this case the necessary technical information shall not
be improperly withheld.

2.20.

‘Deficiency’ means, in respect of vehicle OBD systems, that up to two separate components or systems that are
monitored contain temporary or permanent operating characteristics that impair the otherwise efficient OBD
monitoring of those components or systems or do not meet all of the other detailed requirements for OBD.
Vehicles may be type-approved, registered and sold with such deficiencies according to the requirements of para-
graph 4. of this annex.

3.

REQUIREMENTS AND TESTS

3.1.

3.1.1.

3.1.2.

All vehicles shall be equipped with an OBD system so designed, constructed and installed in a vehicle as to enable
it to identify types of deterioration or malfunction over the entire life of the vehicle. In achieving this objective the
approval authority shall accept that vehicles which have travelled distances in excess of the Type V durability dis-
tance, referred to in paragraph 3.3.1., may show some deterioration in OBD system performance such that the
emission limits given in paragraph 3.3.2. may be exceeded before the OBD system signals a failure to the driver of
the vehicle.

Access to the OBD system required for the inspection, diagnosis, servicing or repair of the vehicle shall be unre-
stricted and standardised. All emission-related fault codes shall be consistent with paragraph 6.5.3.4. of Appen-
dix 1 to this annex.

No later than three months after the manufacturer has provided any authorised dealer or repair shop with repair
information, the manufacturer shall make that information (including all subsequent amendments and supple-
ments) available upon reasonable and non-discriminatory payment and shall notify the approval authority
accordingly.

L 119/156

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

6.5.2008

In the event of failure to comply with these provisions the approval authority shall act to ensure that repair infor-
mation is available, in accordance with the procedures laid down for type approval and in-service surveys.

3.2.

The OBD system shall be so designed, constructed and installed in a vehicle as to enable it to comply with the
requirements of this annex during conditions of normal use.

3.2.1.

Temporary disablement of the OBD system

3.2.1.1. A manufacturer may disable the OBD system if its ability to monitor is affected by low fuel levels. Disablement
shall not occur when the fuel tank level is above 20 per cent of the nominal capacity of the fuel tank.

3.2.1.2. A manufacturer may disable the OBD system at ambient engine starting temperatures below 266 K (– 7 °C) or at
elevations over 2 500 metres above sea level provided the manufacturer submits data and/or an engineering evalu-
ation which adequately demonstrate that monitoring would be unreliable when such conditions exist. A manu-
facturer may also request disablement of the OBD system at other ambient engine starting temperatures if he
demonstrates to the authority with data and/or an engineering evaluation that misdiagnosis would occur under
such conditions. misdiagnosis would occur under such conditions. It is not necessary to illuminate the malfunc-
tion indicator (MI) if the OBD thresholds are exceeded during a regeneration provided no defect is present.

3.2.1.3. For vehicles designed to accommodate the installation of power take-off units, disablement of affected monitoring

systems is permitted provided disablement occurs only when the power take-off unit is active.

3.2.2.

Engine misfire in vehicles equipped with positive-ignition engines

3.2.2.1. Manufacturers may adopt higher misfire percentage malfunction criteria than those declared to the authority, under
specific engine speed and load conditions where it can be demonstrated to the authority that the detection of lower
levels of misfire would be unreliable.

3.2.2.2. When a manufacturer can demonstrate to the authority that the detection of higher levels of misfire percentages is
still not feasible, or that misfire cannot be distinguished from other effects (e.g. rough roads, transmission shifts,
after engine starting; etc.) the misfire monitoring system may be disabled when such conditions exist.

3.3.

Description of tests

3.3.1.

The test are carried out on the vehicle used for the Type V durability test, given in Annex 9, and using the test
procedure in Appendix 1 to this annex. Tests are carried out at the conclusion of the Type V durability testing.

When no Type V durability testing is carried out, or at the request of the manufacturer, a suitably aged and rep-
resentative vehicle may be used for these OBD demonstration tests.

3.3.2.

The OBD system shall indicate the failure of an emission-related component or system when that failure results in
emissions exceeding the threshold limits given below:

3.3.3. Monitoring requirements for vehicles equipped with positive-ignition engines

In satisfying the requirements of paragraph 3.3.2. the OBD system shall, at a minimum, monitor for:

3.3.3.1.

reduction in the efficiency of the catalytic converter with respect to the emissions of HC only. Manufacturers may
monitor the front catalyst alone or in combination with the next catalyst(s) downstream. Each monitored catalyst
or catalyst combination shall be considered malfunctioning when the emissions exceed the HC threshold given in
table in paragraph 3.3.2.;

3.3.3.2.

the presence of engine misfire in the engine operating region bounded by the following lines:

(a)

a maximum speed of 4 500 min–1 or 1 000 min–1 greater than the highest speed occurring during a Type I
test cycle, whichever is the lower;

(b)

the positive torque line (i.e. engine load with the transmission in neutral);

(c)

a line joining the following engine operating points: the positive torque line at 3 000 min–1 and a point on
the maximum speed line defined in (a) above with the engine’s manifold vacuum at 13,33 kPa lower than
that at the positive torque line.

3.3.3.3. oxygen sensor deterioration

3.3.3.4.

if active on the selected fuel, other emission control system components or systems, or emission related power-
train components or systems which are connected to a computer, the failure of which may result in tailpipe emis-
sions exceeding the limits given in paragraph 3.3.2;

3.3.3.5. unless otherwise monitored, any other emission-related power-train component connected to a computer, includ-
ing any relevant sensors to enable monitoring functions to be carried out, shall be monitored for circuit continuity;

3.3.3.6.

the electronic evaporative emission purge control shall, at a minimum, be monitored for circuit continuity.

3.3.4. Monitoring requirements for vehicles equipped with compression-ignition engines

In satisfying the requirements of paragraph 3.3.2. the OBD system shall monitor:

3.3.4.1. Where fitted, reduction in the efficiency of the catalytic converter;

3.3.4.2. Where fitted, the functionality and integrity of the particulate trap;

3.3.4.3. The fuel-injection system electronic fuel quantity and timing actuator(s) is/are monitored for circuit continuity and

total functional failure;

3.3.4.4. Other emission control system components or systems, or emission-related power-train components or systems,
which are connected to a computer, the failure of which may result in exhaust emissions exceeding the limits given
in paragraph 3.3.2. Examples of such systems or components are those for monitoring and control of air mass-
flow, air volumetric flow (and temperature), boost pressure and inlet manifold pressure (and relevant sensors to

Activation of malfunction indicator (MI)

3.5.1.

3.5.2.

The OBD system shall incorporate a malfunction indicator readily perceivable to the vehicle operator. The MI shall
not be used for any other purpose except to indicate emergency start-up or limp-home routines to the driver. The
MI shall be visible in all reasonable lighting conditions. When activated, it shall display a symbol in conformity
with ISO 2575 (1) vehicle shall not be equipped with more than one general purpose MI for emission-related prob-
lems. Separate specific purpose telltales (e. g. brake system, fasten seat belt, oil pressure, etc.) are permitted. The
use of red colour for an MI is prohibited.

For strategies requiring more than two preconditioning cycles for MI activation, the manufacturer must provide
data and/or an engineering evaluation which adequately demonstrates that the monitoring system is equally effec-
tive and timely in detecting component deterioration. Strategies requiring on average more than ten driving cycles
for MI activation are not accepted. The MI must also activate whenever the engine control enters a permanent emis-
sion default mode of operation if the emission limits given in paragraph 3.3.2. are exceeded or if the OBD system
is unable to fulfil the basic monitoring requirements specified in paragraph 3.3.3. or 3.3.4. of this annex. The MI
must operate in a distinct warning mode, e.g. a flashing light, under any period during which engine misfire occurs
at a level likely to cause catalyst damage, as specified by the manufacturer. The MI must also activate when the
vehicle’s ignition is in the ‘key-on’ position before engine starting or cranking and de-activate after engine starting
if no malfunction has previously been detected.

3.6.

The OBD system must record fault code(s) indicating the status of the emission control system. Separate status
codes must be used to identify correctly functioning emission control systems and those emission control systems
which need further vehicle operation to be fully evaluated. If the MI is activated due to deterioration or malfunc-
tion or permanent emission default modes of operation, a fault code must be stored that identifies the type of mal-
function. A fault code must also be stored in the cases referred to in paragraphs 3.3.3.5. and 3.3.4.5. of this annex.

3.6.1.

The distance travelled by the vehicle while the MI is activated shall be available at any instant through the serial
port on the standard link connector (2).

3.6.2.

In the case of vehicles equipped with positive-ignition engines, misfiring cylinders need not be uniquely identified
if a distinct single or multiple cylinder misfire fault code is stored.

3.7.

Extinguishing the MI

3.7.1.

If misfire at levels likely to cause catalyst damage (as specified by the manufacturer) is not present any more, or if
the engine is operated after changes to speed and load conditions where the level of misfire will not cause catalyst
damage, the MI may be switched back to the previous state of activation during the first driving cycle on which the
misfire level was detected and may be switched to the normal activated mode on subsequent driving cycles. If the
MI is switched back to the previous state of activation, the corresponding fault codes and stored freeze-frame con-
ditions may be erased.

3.7.2.

For all other malfunctions, the MI may be de-activated after three subsequent sequential driving cycles during which
the monitoring system responsible for activating the MI ceases to detect the malfunction and if no other malfunc-
tion has been identified that would independently activate the MI.

3.8.

Erasing a fault code

3.8.1.

The OBD system may erase a fault code and the distance travelled and freeze-frame information if the same fault
is not re-registered in at least 40 engine warm-up cycles.

Appendix 1

Functional aspects of on-board diagnostic (OBD) systems

1.

INTRODUCTION

This Appendix describes the procedure of the test according to paragraph 3. of Annex 11. The procedure describes
a method for checking the function of the on-board diagnostic (OBD) system installed on the vehicle by failure
simulation of relevant systems in the engine management or emission control system. It also sets procedures for
determining the durability of OBD systems.

The manufacturer shall make available the defective components and/or electrical devices which would be used to
simulate failures. When measured over the Type I test cycle, such defective components or devices shall not cause
the vehicle emissions to exceed the limits of paragraph 3.3.2. by more than 20 per cent.

When the vehicle is tested with the defective component or device fitted, the OBD system is approved if the MI is
activated. The OBD system is also approved if the MI is activated below the OBD threshold limits.

2.

DESCRIPTION OF TEST

2.1.

The testing of OBD systems consists of the following phases:

2.1.1.

simulation of malfunction of a component of the engine management or emission control system,

2.1.2.

preconditioning of the vehicle with a simulated malfunction over preconditioning specified in paragraph 6.2.1. or
paragraph 6.2.2.

2.1.3.

driving the vehicle with a simulated malfunction over the Type I test cycle and measuring the emissions of the
vehicle,

2.1.4.

determining whether the OBD system reacts to the simulated malfunction and indicates malfunction in an appro-
priate manner to the vehicle driver.

2.2.

2.3.

Alternatively, at the request of the manufacturer, malfunction of one or more components may be electronically
simulated according to the requirements of paragraph 6. below.

Manufacturers may request that monitoring take place outside the Type I test cycle if it can be demonstrated to the
authority that monitoring during conditions encountered during the Type I test cycle would impose restrictive
monitoring conditions when the vehicle is used in service.

3.

TEST VEHICLE AND FUEL

3.1.

Vehicle

The test vehicle shall meet the requirements of paragraph 3.1. of Annex 4.

3.2.

Fuel

The appropriate reference fuel as described in Annex 10 for petrol and diesel fuels and in Annex 10a for LPG and
NG fuels must be used for testing. The fuel type for each failure mode to be tested (described in paragraph 6.3. of
this appendix) may be selected by the administrative department from the reference fuels described in Annex 10a
in the case of the testing of a mono-fuelled gas vehicle and from the reference fuels described in Annex 10 and
Annex 10a in the case of the testing of a bi-fuelled gas vehicle. The selected fuel type must not be changed during
any of the test phases (described in paragraphs 2.1. to 2.3. of this appendix). In the case of the use of LPG or NG
as a fuel it is permissible that the engine is started on petrol and switched to LPG or NG after a pre-determined
period of time which is controlled automatically and not under the control of the driver.

4.

TEST TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE

4.1.

The test temperature and pressure shall meet the requirements of the Type I test as described in Annex 4.

ever occurs first). Stored engine conditions shall include, but are not limited to calculated load value, engine speed,
fuel trim value(s) (if available), fuel pressure (if available), vehicle speed (if available), coolant temperature, intake
manifold pressure (if available), closed- or open-loop operation (if available) and the fault code which caused the
data to be stored. The manufacturer shall choose the most appropriate set of conditions facilitating effective repairs
for freeze-frame storage. Only one frame of data is required. Manufacturers may choose to store additional frames
provided that at least the required frame can be read by a generic scan tool meeting the specifications of para-
graphs 6.5.3.2. and 6.5.3.3. If the fault code causing the conditions to be stored is erased in accordance with para-
graph 3.7. of Annex 11, the stored engine conditions may also be erased.

Appendix 2

Essential characteristics of the vehicle family

1. PARAMETERS DEFINING THE OBD FAMILY

The OBD family may be defined by basic design parameters which shall be common to vehicles within the family. In
some cases there may be interaction of parameters. These effects shall also be taken into consideration to ensure that
only vehicles with similar exhaust emission characteristics are included within an OBD family.

2. To this end, those vehicle types whose parameters described below are identical are considered to belong to the same

engine/emission control/OBD system combination.

Engine:

(a) Combustion process (i.e. positive-ignition, compression-ignition, two-stroke, four-stroke),

(b) method of engine fuelling (i.e. carburettor or fuel injection),

(c)

fuel type (i.e. petrol, diesel, NG, LPG, bi-fuel petrol/NG, bi-fuel petrol/LPG).

Emission control system:

ANNEX 12

Granting of an ece type approval for a vehicle fuelled by LPG or natural gas (NG)

1.

INTRODUCTION

This annex describes the special requirements that apply in the case of an approval of a vehicle that runs on LPG
or natural gas (NG), or that can run either on unleaded or LPG or natural gas, in so far as the testing on LPG or
natural gas is concerned.

In the case of LPG and natural gas there is on the market a large variation in fuel composition, requiring the fuel-
ling system to adapt its fuelling rates to these compositions. To demonstrate this capability, the vehicle has to be
tested in the test Type I on two extreme reference fuels and demonstrate the self-adaptability of the fuelling sys-
tem. Whenever the self adaptability of a fuelling system has been demonstrated on a vehicle, such a vehicle may be
considered as a parent of a family. Vehicles that comply with the requirements of members of that family, if fitted
with the same fuelling system, need to be tested on only one fuel.

2.

DEFINITIONS

For the purpose of this annex:

2.1.

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.

2.2.

Member of the family

2.2.1.

A ‘member of the family’ is a vehicle that shares the following essential characteristics with its parent(s):

(a)

It is produced by the same 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 parent vehicle.

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 parent vehicle.

(d)

If fitted with a catalyst, it has the same type of catalyst i.e. three way, oxidation, de-NOx.

(e)

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).

(f)

This gas fuelling system is controlled by an ECU of the same type and technical specification, containing the
same software principles and control strategy.

2.2.2. With regard to requirement (c): in the case where a demonstration shows two gas-fuelled vehicles could be mem-
bers of the same family with the exception of their certified power output, respectively P1 and P2 (P1 < P2), and
both are tested as if 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.

GRANTING OF A TYPE APPROVAL

Type approval is granted subject to the following requirements:

3.1.

Exhaust emissions approval of a parent vehicle

The parent vehicle should 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.

3.1.1.

The parent vehicle(s) shall be tested in the test Type I on the two extreme reference fuels of Annex 10a.

3.1.1.1.

If the transition from one fuel to another is in practice aided through the use of a switch, this switch shall not be
used during type approval. In such a case on the manufacturer’s request and with the agreement of the technical
service the pre-conditioning cycle referred to in paragraph 5.3.1. of Annex 4 may be extended.

3.1.2.

The vehicle(s) is (are) considered to conform if, with both reference fuels, the vehicle complies with the emission
limits.

3.1.3.

The ratio of emission results ‘r’ should be determined for each pollutant as shown below:

Type(s) of fuel

Reference fuels

Calculation of ‘r’

LPG and petrol (Approval B)

or LPG only (Approval D)

NG and petrol (Approval B)

or NG only (Approval D)

Fuel A

Fuel B

Fuel G 20

Fuel G 25

r =

B

r =

G25

G20

3.2.

Exhaust emissions approval of a member of the family:

For a member of the family a test Type I shall be performed with one reference fuel. This reference fuel may be
either reference fuel. The vehicle is considered to comply if the following requirements are met:

3.2.1.

The vehicle complies with the definition of a family member as defined under paragraph 2.2. above.

3.2.2.

If the test fuel is reference fuel A for LPG or G20 for NG, the emission result shall be multiplied by the relevant
factor ‘r’ if r > 1; if r < 1, no correction is needed.

If the test fuel is reference fuel B for LPG or G25 for NG, the emission result shall be divided by the relevant factor
‘r’ if r < 1; if r > 1, no correction is needed.

The vehicle shall comply with the emission limits valid for the relevant category for both measured and calculated
emissions.

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.

GENERAL CONDITIONS

Tests for conformity of production may be performed with a commercial fuel of which the C3/C4 ratio lies
between those of the reference fuels in the case of LPG, or of which the Wobbe index lies between those of the
extreme reference fuels in the case of NG. In that case a fuel analysis needs to be present.

ANNEX 13

Emissions test procedure for a vehicle equipped with a periodically regenerating system

1.

INTRODUCTION

This annex defines the specific provisions regarding type-approval of a vehicle equipped with a periodically regen-
erating system as defined in paragraph 2.20. of this Regulation.

2.

SCOPE AND EXTENSION OF THE TYPE APPROVAL

2.1.

Vehicle family groups equipped with periodically regenerating system

The procedure applies to vehicles equipped with a periodically regenerating system as defined in paragraph 2.20.
of this Regulation. For the purpose of this annex vehicle family groups may be established. Accordingly, those
vehicle types with regenerative systems, whose parameters described below are identical, or within the stated tol-
erances, shall be considered to belong to the same family with respect to measurements specific to the defined peri-
odically regenerating systems.

2.1.1.

Identical parameters are:

Engine:

(a) Combustion process.

Periodically regenerating system (i.e. catalyst, particulate trap):

(a) Construction (i.e. type of enclosure, type of precious metal, type of substrate, cell density),

(b) Type and working principle,

(c) Dosage and additive system,

(d) Volume ± 10 per cent,

(e)

Location (temperature ± 50 °C at 120 km/h or 5 per cent difference of max. temperature/pressure).

2.2.

Vehicle types of different reference masses

The Ki factors developed by the procedures in this annex for type approval of a vehicle type with a periodically
regenerating system as defined in paragraph 2.20. of this Regulation, may be extended to other vehicles in the fam-
ily group with a reference mass within the next two higher equivalent inertia classes or any lower equivalent inertia.

3.

TEST PROCEDURE

The vehicle may be equipped with a switch capable of preventing or permitting the regeneration process provided
that this operation has no effect on original engine calibration. This switch shall be permitted only for the purpose
of preventing regeneration during loading of the regeneration system and during the pre-conditioning cycles. How-
ever, it shall not be used during the measurement of emissions during the regeneration phase; rather the emission
test shall be carried out with the unchanged Original Equipment Manufacturer’s (OEM) control unit.

6.5.2008

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

L 119/171

3.1.

Exhaust emission measurement between two cycles where regenerative phases occur

3.1.1.

Average emissions between regeneration phases and during loading of the regenerative device shall be determined
from the arithmetic mean of several approximately equidistant (if more than 2) Type I operating cycles or equiva-
lent engine test bench cycles. As an alternative the manufacturer may provide data to show that the emissions
remain constant (± 15 per cent) between regeneration phases. In this case, the emissions measured during the regu-
lar Type I test may be used. In any other case emissions measurement for at least two Type I operating cycles or
equivalent engine test bench cycles must be completed: one immediately after regeneration (before new loading)
and one as close as possible prior to a regeneration phase. All emissions measurements and calculations shall be
carried out according to Annex 4, paragraphs 5., 6., 7. and 8.

3.1.2.

The loading process and Ki determination shall be made during the Type I operating cycle, on a chassis dynamom-
eter or on an engine test bench using an equivalent test cycle. These cycles may be run continuously (i.e. without
the need to switch the engine off between cycles). After any number of completed cycles, the vehicle may be
removed from the chassis dynamometer, and the test continued at a later time.

3.1.3.

The number of cycles (D) between two cycles where regeneration phases occur, the number of cycles over which
emissions measurements are made (n), and each emissions measurement (M’sij) shall be reported in Annex 1,
items 4.2.11.2.1.10.1. to 4.2.11.2.1.10.4. or 4.2.11.2.5.4.1. to 4.2.11.2.5.4.4. as applicable.

3.2.

Measurement of emissions during regeneration

3.2.1.

Preparation of the vehicle, if required, for the emissions test during a regeneration phase, may be completed using
the preparation cycles in paragraph 5.3. of Annex 4 or equivalent engine test bench cycles, depending on the load-
ing procedure chosen in paragraph 3.1.2. above.

3.2.2.

The test and vehicle conditions for the Type I test described in Annex 4 apply before the first valid emission test is
carried out.

3.2.3.

Regeneration must not occur during the preparation of the vehicle. This may be ensured by one of the following
methods:

3.2.3.1. A ‘dummy’ regenerating system or partial system may be fitted for the pre-conditioning cycles.

3.2.3.2. Any other method agreed between the manufacturer and the type approval authority.

3.2.4.

3.2.5.

A cold-start exhaust emission test including a regeneration process shall be performed according to the Type I oper-
ating cycle, or equivalent engine test bench cycle. If the emissions tests between two cycles where regeneration
phases occur are carried out on an engine test bench, the emissions test including a regeneration phase shall also
be carried out on an engine test bench.

If the regeneration process requires more than one operating cycle, subsequent test cycle(s) shall be driven imme-
diately, without switching the engine off, until complete regeneration has been achieved (each cycle shall be com-
pleted). The time necessary to set up a new test should be as short as possible (e.g. particular matter filter change).
The engine must be switched off during this period.

3.2.6.

The emission values during regeneration (Mri) shall be calculated according to Annex 4, paragraph 8. The number
of operating cycles (d) measured for complete regeneration shall be recorded.

Test results

3.2.4.1.

For communication, the weighted values shall be calculated as below:

Mi = (De ∙ M1i + Dav ∙ M2i) / (De + Dav)

Where:

Mi

= mass emission of the pollutant i in grams per kilometre

M1i = average mass emission of the pollutant i in grams per kilometre with a fully charged electrical

energy/power storage device calculated in paragraph 3.2.2.7.

M2i = average mass emission of the pollutant i in grams per kilometre with an electrical energy/power storage
device in minimum state of charge (maximum discharge of capacity) calculated in paragraph 3.2.3.5.

De = vehicle electric range with the switch in pure electric position, according to the procedure described in
Regulation No. 101, Annex 7. If there is not a pure electric position, the manufacturer must provide
the means for performing the measurement with the vehicle running in pure electric mode.

Dav = 25 km (average distance between two battery recharge).

TYPE IV TEST METHODS

6.1.

The vehicles shall be tested according to Annex 7.

6.2.

Before starting the test procedure (paragraph 5.1. of Annex 7), the vehicles shall be preconditioned as follows:

6.2.1.

For OVC vehicles:

6.2.1.1.

OVC vehicles without an operating mode switch: the procedure shall start with the discharge of the electrical
energy/power storage device of the vehicle while driving (on the test track, on a chassis dynamometer, etc.):

— at a steady speed of 50 km/h until the fuel consuming engine of the HEV starts up, or

— if a vehicle cannot reach a steady speed of 50 km/h without starting up the fuel consuming engine, the speed
shall be reduced until the vehicle can run a lower steady speed where the fuel consuming engine just does
not start up for a defined time/distance (to be specified between technical service and manufacturer), or

— with manufacturer’s recommendation.

The fuel consuming engine shall be stopped within 10 seconds of it being automatically started.

6.2.1.2.

OVC vehicles with an operating mode switch: the procedure shall start with the discharge of the electrical
energy/power storage device of the vehicle while driving with the switch in pure electric position (on the test
track, on a chassis dynamometer, etc.) at a steady speed of 70 per cent ± 5 per cent from the maximum thirty
minutes speed of the vehicle.

Stopping the discharge occurs:

— when the vehicle is not able to run at 65 per cent of the maximum thirty minutes speed, or

— when an indication to stop the vehicle is given to the driver by the standard on-board instrumentation, or

— after covering the distance of 100 km.

If the vehicle is not equipped with a pure electric mode, the electrical energy/power storage device discharge shall
be conducted with the vehicle driving (on the test track, on a chassis dynamometer, etc.):

— at a steady speed of 50 km/h until the fuel consuming engine of the HEV starts up, or

— if a vehicle cannot reach a steady speed of 50 km/h without starting up the fuel consuming engine, the speed
shall be reduced until the vehicle can run a lower steady speed where the fuel consuming engine does not
start up for a defined time/distance (to be specified between technical service and manufacturer), or

— with manufacturer’s recommendation.
