            COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2012/46/EU
of 6 December 2012
         
amending Directive 97/68/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to measures against the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants from internal combustion engines to be installed in non-road mobile machinery
(Text with EEA relevance)


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,


Having regard to Directive 97/68/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 1997 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to measures against the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants from internal combustion engines to be installed in non-road mobile machinery (1), and in particular Article 14 thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Directive 2004/26/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 April 2004 amending Directive 97/68/EC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to measures against the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants from internal combustion engines to be installed in non-road mobile machinery (2) introduced new emission Stages IIIA, IIIB and IV to Directive 97/68/EC, in order to increase environmental protection and preserve human health. The test methods have been amended accordingly, first by Directive 2004/26/EC and later by Commission Directive 2010/26/EU of 31 March 2010 amending Directive 97/68/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to measures against the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants from internal combustion engines to be installed in non-road mobile machinery (3).












(2)


The Stage IV limit values will become mandatory for type approvals issued as of 1 January 2013 for engines of category Q and as of 1 October 2013 for engines of category R. Based on the experience gained with heavy duty euro V and VI engines under Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2009 on type-approval of motor vehicles and engines with respect to emissions from heavy duty vehicles (euro VI) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information and amending Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and Directive 2007/46/EC and repealing Directives 80/1269/EEC, 2005/55/EC and 2005/78/EC (4), certain gaps have been identified in the test requirements for Stage IV engines. In order to enable type approval of Stage IV engines of categories Q and R, taking into account technical progress, and in order to increase global harmonisation, it is necessary to revise and complement certain provisions of Directive 97/68/EC. It is also necessary in order to reduce the margin of interpretation of test results and to limit the errors in the appreciation of engine emissions.












(3)


Directive 2010/26/EU introduced provisions on NOx control which are necessary to ensure that the sophisticated after treatment systems, required in order to meet the new emission limits for Stage IIIB and IV engines, function properly. In particular, to avoid that operators circumvent compliance with emission limits, it is appropriate to complement the provisions on NOx control by introducing an operator warning system based on the corresponding provisions of Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 for heavy duty vehicles (euro VI), combined with a two-stage inducement system which reduces significantly the equipment’s performance thus enforcing compliance.












(4)


With the introduction of electronically controlled engines it is necessary to adapt the test procedure in order to ensure that engine tests better reflect real use conditions, further preventing circumvention of emission requirements (cycle beating). Therefore, during type approval, compliance should be demonstrated at a working area of the tested engine which has been selected on the basis of the ISO 8178 standard. It is also necessary to specify the engine operating conditions under which those tests are carried out and to modify the calculation methods for specific emissions in order to correspond to those required for heavy duty vehicles (euro VI) and to align them with the provisions of the major trading partners of the Union.












(5)


Directive 97/68/EC requires the manufacturer to specify the engine emission performance under specific ambient control conditions relating to altitude or pressure and temperature. In order to better reflect the real use of engines, it is appropriate to extend the temperature/pressure and altitude criteria by aligning the provisions more closely with the requirements for heavy duty euro VI engines.












(6)


The durability requirements should also be revised in order to guarantee the efficiency of the emission reduction once the engine is in operation. Due to the technological changes associated with Stage IV engines and their respective after treatment system, the durability provisions laid down in Directive 97/68/EC are not appropriate for those engines, and therefore provisions based on those of Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 regarding heavy duty euro VI engines should be integrated in Directive 97/68/EC.












(7)


A globally harmonised test procedure for Stage IV engines has been adopted at the level of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE Regulation No 96.03 series of amendments). It is appropriate to provide that that procedure also applies to the testing of those engines in the Union.












(8)


Directive 97/68/EC provides that approvals issued under other specific Union or UNECE legislation are equivalent to type approvals issued under that Directive. The references to the legal acts considered as equivalent should be adapted to current versions in force. With regard to heavy duty euro VI engines it is necessary to specify that the equivalency can only be met if certain additional inducement requirements are respected.












(9)


The reporting of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions provides further indication about the performance of an engine. Reporting of CO2 emissions on the engine test cycles is part of the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 for heavy duty vehicles (euro VI and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 40CFR Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards). It is therefore appropriate to introduce such provisions also in Directive 97/68/EC.












(10)


Directive 97/68/EC does not contain specific requirements for crankcase emissions, which are secondary engine emissions. In order to avoid interpretation problems, it is necessary to clarify how crankcase emissions are taken into account in judging whether the emission test is passed or not. Those provisions should be aligned with Heavy Duty euro VI and US Tier 4 provisions (EPA 40CFR part 1039).












(11)


Directive 97/68/EC specifies that engines are categorised in different engine power ranges due to the net engine power and thus emission limit requirements. With new electronically controlled engines, the maximal engine power could be different from the rated engine power. In order to ensure that the emission requirements are met, the engine power to be considered should be the maximum engine power.












(12)


The information documents laid down in Directive 97/68/EC should be updated to reflect technical progress and the changes introduced. The new documents should allow a complete reporting.












(13)


Directive 97/68/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.












(14)


In accordance with the Joint Political Declaration of Member States and the Commission on explanatory documents of 28 September 2011, Member States have undertaken to accompany, in justified cases, the notification of their transposition measures with one or more documents explaining the relationship between the components of a directive and the corresponding parts of national transposition instruments.

‘Appendix 1

Requirements to ensure the correct operation of NOx control measures

1.   Introduction

This Annex sets out the requirements to ensure the correct operation of NOx control measures. It includes requirements for engines that rely on the use of a reagent in order to reduce emissions.
1.1.   Definitions and abbreviations


                                       “NOx Control Diagnostic system (NCD)” means a system on-board the engine which has the capability of:






(a)


detecting a NOx Control Malfunction;










(b)


identifying the likely cause of NOx control malfunctions by means of information stored in computer memory and/or communicating that information off-board.





                                       “NOx Control Malfunction (NCM)” means an attempt to tamper with the NOx control system of an engine or a malfunction affecting that system that might be due to tampering, that is considered by this Directive as requiring the activation of a warning or an inducement system once detected.

                                       “Diagnostic trouble code (DTC)” means a numeric or alphanumeric identifier which identifies or labels a NOx Control Malfunction.

                                       “Confirmed and active DTC” means a DTC that is stored during the time the NCD system concludes that a malfunction exists.

                                       “Scan-tool” means an external test equipment used for off-board communication with the NCD system.

                                       “NCD engine family” means a manufacturer’s grouping of engine systems having common methods of monitoring/diagnosing NCMs.
2.   General requirements

The engine system shall be equipped with a NOx Control Diagnostic system (NCD) able to identify the NOx control malfunctions (NCMs) considered by this Annex. Any engine system covered by this section shall be designed, constructed and installed so as to be capable of meeting these requirements throughout the normal life of the engine under normal conditions of use. In achieving this objective it is acceptable that engines which have been used in excess of the useful life period as specified in Section 3.1 of Appendix 5 to Annex III to this Directive show some deterioration in the performance and the sensitivity of the NOx Control Diagnostic system (NCD), such that the thresholds specified in this Annex may be exceeded before the warning and/or inducement systems are activated.
2.1.   Required information

2.1.1.   If the emission control system requires a reagent, the characteristics of that reagent, including the type of reagent, information on concentration when the reagent is in solution, operational temperature conditions and reference to international standards for composition and quality must be specified by the manufacturer, in Section 2.2.1.13 of Appendix 1 and in Section 2.2.1.13 of Appendix 3 to Annex II.

all altitudes below 1 600 m;










(c)


engine coolant temperatures above 343 K (70 °C).




This section shall not apply in the case of monitoring for reagent level in the storage tank where monitoring shall be conducted under all conditions where measurement is technically feasible (for instance, under all conditions when a liquid reagent is not frozen).
2.3.   Reagent freeze protection

2.3.1.   It is permitted to use a heated or a non-heated reagent tank and dosing system. A heated system shall meet the requirements of paragraph 2.3.2. A non-heated system shall meet the requirements of paragraph 2.3.3.
2.3.1.1.   The use of a non-heated reagent tank and dosing system shall be indicated in the written instructions to the owner of the machine.

2.3.2.2.   Design criteria for a heated system
A heated system shall be so designed that it meets the performance requirements set out in this section when tested using the procedure defined.








2.3.2.2.1.


The reagent tank and dosing system shall be soaked at 255 K (– 18 °C) for 72 hours or until the reagent becomes solid, whichever occurs first.












2.3.2.2.2.


After the soak period in paragraph 2.3.2.2.1, the machine/engine shall be started and operated at 266 K (– 7 °C) ambient temperature or lower as follows:






(a)


10 to 20 minutes idling,










(b)


followed by up to 50 minutes at no more than 40 per cent of rated load.
















2.3.2.2.3.


At the conclusion of the test procedure in paragraph 2.3.2.2.2, the reagent dosing system shall be fully functional.




2.3.2.3.   Evaluation of the design criteria may be performed in a cold chamber test cell using an entire machine or parts representative of those to be installed on a machine or based on field tests.
2.3.3.   Activation of the operator warning and inducement system for a non-heated system
2.3.3.1.   The operator warning system described in paragraph 4 shall be activated if no reagent dosing occurs at an ambient temperature ≤ 266 K (– 7 °C).
2.3.3.2.   The severe inducement system described in paragraph 5.4 shall be activated if no reagent dosing occurs within a maximum of 70 minutes after engine start at an ambient temperature ≤ 266 K (– 7 °C).
2.4.   Diagnostic requirements

2.4.1.   The NOx Control Diagnostic system (NCD) shall be able to identify the NOx control malfunctions (NCMs) considered by this Annex by means of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored in the computer memory and to communicate that information off-board upon request.

2.4.2.3.   In cases where more than 60 minutes running time is required for the monitors to accurately detect and confirm a NCM (e.g. monitors using statistical models or with respect to fluid consumption on the machine), the Approval Authority may permit a longer period for monitoring provided the manufacturer justifies the need for the longer period (for example by technical rationale, experimental results, in-house experience, etc.).
2.4.3.   Requirements for erasing Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs):






(a)


DTCs shall not be erased by the NCD system itself from the computer memory until the failure related to that DTC has been remedied;










(b)


the NCD system may erase all the DTCs upon request of a proprietary scan or maintenance tool that is provided by the engine manufacturer upon request, or using a pass code provided by the engine manufacturer.




2.4.4.   An NCD system shall not be programmed or otherwise designed to partially or totally deactivate based on age of the machine during the actual life of the engine, nor shall the system contain any algorithm or strategy designed to reduce the effectiveness of the NCD system over time.
2.4.5.   Any reprogrammable computer codes or operating parameters of the NCD system shall be resistant to tampering.
2.4.6.   NCD engine family
The manufacturer is responsible for determining the composition of an NCD engine family. Grouping engine systems within an NCD engine family shall be based on good engineering judgement and be subject to approval by the Approval Authority.
Engines that do not belong to the same engine family may still belong to the same NCD engine family.
2.4.6.1.   Parameters defining an NCD engine family
An NCD engine family is characterised by basic design parameters that shall be common to engine systems within the family.
In order that engine systems are considered to belong to the same NCD engine family, the following list of basic parameters shall be similar:






(a)


emission control systems;










(b)


methods of NCD monitoring;










(c)


criteria for NCD monitoring;










(d)


monitoring parameters (e.g. frequency).




These similarities shall be demonstrated by the manufacturer by means of relevant engineering demonstration or other appropriate procedures and subject to the approval of the Approval Authority.
The manufacturer may request approval by the Approval Authority of minor differences in the methods of monitoring/diagnosing the NCD system due to engine system configuration variation, when these methods are considered similar by the manufacturer and they differ only in order to match specific characteristics of the components under consideration (for example size, exhaust flow, etc.); or their similarities are based on good engineering judgement.
3.   Maintenance requirements









3.1.


The manufacturer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to all owners of new engines or machines written instructions about the emission control system and its correct operation.
These instructions shall state that if the emission control system is not functioning correctly, the operator will be informed of a problem by the operator warning system and that activation of the operator inducement system as a consequence of ignoring this warning will result in the machine being unable to conduct its mission.












3.2.


The instructions shall indicate requirements for the proper use and maintenance of engines in order to maintain their emissions performance, including where relevant the proper use of consumable reagents.












3.3.


The instructions shall be written in a clear and non-technical manner using the same language as is used in the operator’s manual on the non-road mobile machinery or engine.












3.4.


The instructions shall specify whether consumable reagents have to be refilled by the operator between normal maintenance intervals. The instructions shall also specify the required reagent quality. They shall indicate how the operator should refill the reagent tank. The information shall also indicate a likely rate of reagent consumption for the engine type and how often it should be replenished.












3.5.


The instructions shall state that use of, and refilling of, a required reagent of the correct specifications is essential in order for the engine to comply with the requirements for the issuing of the type approval for that engine type.












3.6.


The instructions shall explain how the operator warning and inducement systems work. In addition, the consequences, in terms of performance and fault logging, of ignoring the warning system and not replenishing the reagent or rectifying the problem shall be explained.




4.   Operator warning system









4.1.


The machine shall include an operator warning system using visual alarms that informs the operator when a low reagent level, incorrect reagent quality, interruption of dosing or a malfunction of the type specified in paragraph 9 has been detected that will lead to activation of the operator inducement system if not rectified in a timely manner. The warning system shall remain active when the operator inducement system described in paragraph 5 has been activated.












4.2.


The warning shall not be the same as the warning used for the purposes of signalling a malfunction or other engine maintenance, though it may use the same warning system.












4.3.


The operator warning system may consist of one or more lamps, or display short messages, which may include, for example, messages indicating clearly:






—


the remaining time before activation of the low-level and/or severe inducements,










—


the amount of low-level and/or severe inducement, for example the amount of torque reduction,










—


the conditions under which machine disablement can be cleared.




Where messages are displayed, the system used for displaying these messages may be the same as the one used for other maintenance purposes.












4.4.


At the choice of the manufacturer, the warning system may include an audible component to alert the operator. The cancelling of audible warnings by the operator is permitted.












4.5.


The operator warning system shall be activated as specified in paragraphs 2.3.3.1, 6.2, 7.2, 8.4, and 9.3 respectively.












4.6.


The operator warning system shall be deactivated when the conditions for its activation have ceased to exist. The operator warning system shall not be automatically deactivated without the reason for its activation having been remedied.












4.7.


The warning system may be temporarily interrupted by other warning signals providing important safety related messages.












4.8.


Details of the operator warning system activation and deactivation procedures are described in Section 11.












4.9.


As part of the application for type-approval under this Directive, the manufacturer shall demonstrate the operation of the operator warning system, as specified in Section 11.




5.   Operator inducement system

5.1.   The machine shall incorporate an operator inducement system based on one of the following principles:






5.1.1.


a two-stage inducement system starting with a low-level inducement (performance restriction) followed by a severe inducement (effective disablement of machine operation);










5.1.2.


a one-stage severe inducement system (effective disablement of machine operation) activated under the conditions of a low-level inducement system as specified in paragraphs 6.3.1, 7.3.1, 8.4.1, and 9.4.1.




5.2.   Upon prior approval of the type approval authority, the engine may be fitted with a means to disable the operator inducement during an emergency declared by a national or regional government, their emergency services or their armed services.
5.3.   Low-level inducement system









5.3.1.


The low-level inducement system shall be activated after any of the conditions specified in paragraphs 6.3.1, 7.3.1, 8.4.1, and 9.4.1 has occurred.












5.3.2.


The low-level inducement system shall gradually reduce the maximum available engine torque across the engine speed range by at least 25 per cent between the peak torque speed and the governor breakpoint as shown in Figure 1. The rate of torque reduction shall be a minimum of 1 % per minute.












5.3.3.


Other inducement measures that are demonstrated to the type approval authority as having the same or greater level of severity may be used.





Figure 1


Low-level inducement torque reduction scheme




5.4.   Severe inducement system









5.4.1.


The severe inducement system shall be activated after any of the conditions specified in paragraphs 2.3.3.2, 6.3.2, 7.3.2, 8.4.2, and 9.4.2 has occurred.












5.4.2.


The severe inducement system shall reduce the machine’s utility to a level that is sufficiently onerous as to cause the operator to remedy any problems related to Sections 6 to 9. The following strategies are acceptable:






5.4.2.1.


Engine torque between the peak torque speed and the governor breakpoint shall be gradually reduced from the low-level inducement torque in Figure 1 by a minimum of 1 per cent per minute to 50 per cent of maximum torque or lower and engine speed shall be gradually reduced to 60 per cent of rated speed or lower within the same time period as the torque reduction, as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2


Severe inducement torque reduction scheme














5.4.2.2.


Other inducement measures that are demonstrated to the type approval authority as having the same or greater level of severity may be used.








5.5.   In order to account for safety concerns and to allow for self-healing diagnostics, use of an inducement override function for releasing full engine power is permitted provided it






—


is active for no longer than 30 minutes, and










—


is limited to three activations during each period that the operator inducement system is active.




5.6.   The operator inducement system shall be deactivated when the conditions for its activation have ceased to exist. The operator inducement system shall not be automatically deactivated without the reason for its activation having been remedied.
5.7.   Details of the operator inducement system activation and deactivation procedures are described in Section 11.
5.8.   As part of the application for type-approval under this Directive, the manufacturer shall demonstrate the operation of the operator inducement system, as specified in Section 11.
6.   Reagent availability

6.1.   Reagent level indicator

The machine shall include an indicator that clearly informs the operator of the level of reagent in the reagent storage tank. The minimum acceptable performance level for the reagent indicator is that it shall continuously indicate the reagent level whilst the operator warning system referred to in paragraph 4 is activated. The reagent indicator may be in the form of an analogue or digital display, and may show the level as a proportion of the full tank capacity, the amount of remaining reagent, or the estimated operating hours remaining.
6.2.   Activation of the operator warning system









6.2.1.


The operator warning system specified in paragraph 4 shall be activated when the level of reagent goes below 10 % of the capacity of the reagent tank or a higher percentage at the choice of the manufacturer.












6.2.2.


The warning provided shall be sufficiently clear, in conjunction with the reagent indicator, for the operator to understand that the reagent level is low. When the warning system includes a message display system, the visual warning shall display a message indicating a low level of reagent (for example “urea level low”, “AdBlue level low”, or “reagent low”).












6.2.3.


The operator warning system does not initially need to be continuously activated (for example a message does not need to be continuously displayed), however activation shall escalate in intensity so that it becomes continuous as the level of the reagent approaches empty and the point where the operator inducement system will come into effect is approached (for example frequency at which a lamp flashes). It shall culminate in an operator notification at a level that is at the choice of the manufacturer, but sufficiently more noticeable at the point where the operator inducement system in paragraph 6.3 comes into effect than when it was first activated.












6.2.4.


The continuous warning shall not be easily disabled or ignored. When the warning system includes a message display system, an explicit message shall be displayed (for example “fill up urea”, “fill up AdBlue”, or “fill up reagent”). The continuous warning may be temporarily interrupted by other warning signals providing important safety related messages.












6.2.5.


It shall not be possible to turn off the operating warning system until the reagent has been replenished to a level not requiring its activation.




6.3.   Activation of the operator inducement system









6.3.1.


The low-level inducement system described in paragraph 5.3 shall be activated if the reagent tank level goes below 2,5 % of its nominally full capacity or a higher percentage at the choice of the manufacturer.












6.3.2.


The severe inducement system described in paragraph 5.4 shall be activated if the reagent tank is empty (that is, when the dosing system is unable to draw further reagent from the tank) or at any level below 2,5 % of its nominally full capacity at the discretion of the manufacturer.












6.3.3.


Except to the extent permitted by paragraph 5.5, it shall not be possible to turn off the low-level or severe inducement system until the reagent has been replenished to a level not requiring their respective activation.




7.   Reagent quality monitoring

7.1.   The engine or machine shall include a means of determining the presence of an incorrect reagent on board a machine.








7.1.1.


The manufacturer shall specify a minimum acceptable reagent concentration CDmin, which results in tailpipe NOx emissions not exceeding a threshold of 0,9 g/kWh.












7.1.1.1.


The correct value of CDmin shall be demonstrated during type approval by the procedure defined in Section 12 and recorded in the extended documentation package as specified in Section 8 of Annex I.












7.1.2.


Any reagent concentration lower than CDmin shall be detected and be regarded, for the purpose of Section 7.1, as being incorrect reagent.












7.1.3.


A specific counter (“the reagent quality counter”) shall be attributed to the reagent quality. The reagent quality counter shall count the number of engine operating hours with an incorrect reagent.












7.1.3.1.


Optionally, the manufacturer may group the reagent quality failure together with one or more of the failures listed in Sections 8 and 9 into a single counter.












7.1.4.


Details of the reagent quality counter activation and deactivation criteria and mechanisms are described in Section 11.




7.2.   Activation of the operator warning system

When the monitoring system confirms that the reagent quality is incorrect, the operator warning system described in paragraph 4 shall be activated. When the warning system includes a message display system, it shall display a message indicating the reason of the warning (for example “incorrect urea detected”, “incorrect AdBlue detected”, or “incorrect reagent detected”).
7.3.   Activation of the operator inducement system









7.3.1.


The low-level inducement system described in paragraph 5.3 shall be activated if the reagent quality is not rectified within a maximum of 10 engine operating hours after the activation of the operator warning system described in paragraph 7.2.












7.3.2.


The severe inducement system described in paragraph 5.4 shall be activated if the reagent quality is not rectified within a maximum of 20 engine operating hours after the activation of the operator warning system in described paragraph 7.2.












7.3.3.


The number of hours prior to activation of the inducement systems shall be reduced in case of a repetitive occurrence of the malfunction according to the mechanism described in Section 11.




8.   Reagent dosing activity

8.1.   The engine shall include a means of determining interruption of dosing.
8.2.   Reagent dosing activity counter









8.2.1.


A specific counter shall be attributed to the dosing activity (the “dosing activity counter”). The counter shall count the number of engine operating hours which occur with an interruption of the reagent dosing activity. This is not required where such interruption is demanded by the engine ECU because the machine operating conditions are such that the machine’s emission performance does not require reagent dosing.












8.2.1.1.


Optionally, the manufacturer may group the reagent dosing failure together with one or more of the failures listed in Sections 7 and 9 into a single counter.












8.2.2.


Details of the reagent dosing activity counter activation and deactivation criteria and mechanisms are described in Section 11.




8.3.   Activation of the operator warning system

The operator warning system described in paragraph 4 shall be activated in the case of interruption of dosing which sets the dosing activity counter in accordance with paragraph 8.2.1. When the warning system includes a message display system, it shall display a message indicating the reason of the warning (e.g. “urea dosing malfunction”, “AdBlue dosing malfunction”, or “reagent dosing malfunction”).
8.4.   Activation of the operator inducement system









8.4.1.


The low-level inducement system described in paragraph 5.3 shall be activated if an interruption in reagent dosing is not rectified within a maximum of 10 engine operating hours after the activation of the operator warning system in paragraph 8.3.












8.4.2.


The severe inducement system described in paragraph 5.4 shall be activated if an interruption in reagent dosing is not rectified within a maximum of 20 engine operating hours after the activation of the operator warning system in paragraph 8.3.












8.4.3.


The number of hours prior to activation of the inducement systems shall be reduced in case of a repetitive occurrence of the malfunction according to the mechanism described in Section 11.




9.   Monitoring failures that may be attributed to tampering

9.1.   In addition to the level of reagent in the reagent tank, the reagent quality, and the interruption of dosing, the following failures shall be monitored because they may be attributed to tampering:






(i)


impeded EGR valve;










(ii)


failures of the NOx Control Diagnostic (NCD) system, as described in paragraph 9.2.1.




9.2.   Monitoring requirements

9.2.1.   The NOx Control Diagnostic (NCD) system shall be monitored for electrical failures and for removal or deactivation of any sensor that prevents it from diagnosing any other failures mentioned in paragraphs 6 to 8 (component monitoring).
A non-exhaustive list of sensors that affect the diagnostic capability are those directly measuring NOx concentration, urea quality sensors, ambient sensors and sensors used for monitoring reagent dosing activity, reagent level, or reagent consumption.
9.2.2.   EGR valve counter








9.2.2.1.


A specific counter shall be attributed to an impeded EGR valve. The EGR valve counter shall count the number of engine operating hours when the DTC associated to an impeded EGR valve is confirmed to be active.












9.2.2.1.1.


Optionally, the manufacturer may group the impeded EGR valve failure together with one or more of the failures listed in Sections 7, 8 and 9.2.3 into a single counter.












9.2.2.2.


Details of the EGR valve counter activation and deactivation criteria and mechanisms are described in Section 11.




9.2.3.   NCD system counter(s)








9.2.3.1.


A specific counter shall be attributed to each of the monitoring failures considered in paragraph 9.1 (ii). The NCD system counters shall count the number of engine operating hours when the DTC associated to a malfunction of the NCD system is confirmed to be active. Grouping of several faults into a single counter is permitted.












9.2.3.1.1.


Optionally, the manufacturer may group the NCD system failure together with one or more of the failures listed in Sections 7, 8 and 9.2.2 into a single counter.












9.2.3.2.


Details of the NCD system counter(s) activation and deactivation criteria and mechanisms are described in Section 11.




9.3.   Activation of the operator warning system

The operator warning system described in paragraph 4 shall be activated in case any of the failures specified in paragraph 9.1 occur, and shall indicate that an urgent repair is required. When the warning system includes a message display system, it shall display a message indicating the reason of the warning (for example “reagent dosing valve disconnected”, or “critical emission failure”).
9.4.   Activation of the operator inducement system

9.4.1.   The low-level inducement system described in paragraph 5.3 shall be activated if a failure specified in paragraph 9.1 is not rectified within a maximum of 36 engine operating hours after the activation of the operator warning system in paragraph 9.3.
9.4.2.   The severe inducement system described in paragraph 5.4 shall be activated if a failure specified in paragraph 9.1 is not rectified within a maximum of 100 engine operating hours after the activation of the operator warning system in paragraph 9.3.
9.4.3.   The number of hours prior to activation of the inducement systems shall be reduced in case of a repetitive occurrence of the malfunction according to the mechanism described in Section 11.
9.5.   As an alternative to the requirements in paragraph 9.2, the manufacturer may use a NOx sensor located in the exhaust gas. In this case,






—


the NOx value shall not exceed a threshold of 0,9 g/kWh,










—


use of a single failure “high NOx — root cause unknown” may be used,










—


Section 9.4.1 shall read “within 10 engine hours”,










—


Section 9.4.2 shall read “within 20 engine hours”.

10.2.   Engine families And NCD engine families

The compliance of an engine family or an NCD engine family with the requirements of this Section 10 may be demonstrated by testing one of the members of the considered family, provided the manufacturer demonstrates to the approval authority that the monitoring systems necessary for complying with the requirements of this Annex are similar within the family.
10.2.1.   The demonstration that the monitoring systems for other members of the NCD family are similar may be performed by presenting to the approval authorities such elements as algorithms, functional analyses, etc.
10.2.2.   The test engine is selected by the manufacturer in agreement with the approval authority. It may or may not be the parent engine of the considered family.

10.3.   Demonstration of the warning system activation

10.3.1.   The compliance of the warning system activation shall be demonstrated by performing two tests: lack of reagent, and one failure category considered in Section 7 to 9 of this Annex.
10.3.2.   Selection of the failures to be tested
10.3.2.1.   For the purpose of demonstrating the activation of the warning system in case of a wrong reagent quality, a reagent shall be selected with a dilution of the active ingredient at least as dilute as that communicated by the manufacturer according to the requirements of Section 7 of this Annex
10.3.2.2.   For the purpose of demonstrating the activation of the warning system in case of failures that may be attributed to tampering, and are defined in Section 9 of this Annex the selection shall be performed according to the following requirements:






10.3.2.2.1.


The manufacturer shall provide the approval authority with a list of such potential failures.










10.3.2.2.2.


The failure to be considered in the test shall be selected by the approval authority from this list referred to in Section 10.3.2.2.1.




10.3.3.   Demonstration
10.3.3.1.   For the purpose of this demonstration, a separate test shall be performed for each of the failures considered in Section 10.3.1.
10.3.3.2.   During a test, no failure shall be present other than the one addressed by the test.
10.3.3.3.   Prior to starting a test, all DTC shall have been erased.
10.3.3.4.   At the request of the manufacturer, and with the agreement of the approval authority, the failures subject to testing may be simulated.
10.3.3.5.   Detection of failures other than lack of reagent
For failures other than lack of reagent, once the failure installed or simulated, the detection of that failure shall be performed as follows:






10.3.3.5.1.


The NCD system shall respond to the introduction of a failure selected as appropriate by the type approval authority in accordance to the provisions of this Appendix. This is considered to be demonstrated if activation occurs within two consecutive NCD test-cycles according to paragraph 10.3.3.7 of this Appendix.
When it has been specified in the monitoring description and agreed by the Approval Authority that a specific monitor needs more than two NCD test-cycles to complete its monitoring, the number of NCD test-cycles may be increased to three NCD test-cycles.
Each individual NCD test-cycle in the demonstration test may be separated by an engine shut-off. The time until the next start-up shall take into consideration any monitoring that may occur after engine shut-off and any necessary condition that must exist for monitoring to occur at the next start-up.










10.3.3.5.2.


The demonstration of the warning system activation is deemed to be accomplished if, at the end of each demonstration test performed according to Section 10.3.2.1, the warning system has been properly activated and the DTC for the selected failure has got the “confirmed and active” status.




10.3.3.6.   Detection in case of lack of reagent
For the purpose of demonstrating the activation of the warning system in case of lack of reagent, the engine system shall be operated over one or more NCD test cycles at the discretion of the manufacturer.








10.3.3.6.1.


The demonstration shall start with a level of reagent in the tank to be agreed between the manufacturer and the approval authority but representing not less than 10 per cent of the nominal capacity of the tank.












10.3.3.6.2.


The warning system is deemed to have performed in the correct manner if the following conditions are met simultaneously:






(a)


the warning system has been activated with a reagent availability greater or equal to 10 per cent of the capacity of the reagent tank, and










(b)


the “continuous” warning system has been activated with a reagent availability greater or equal to the value declared by the manufacturer according to the provisions of Section 6 of this Annex.








10.3.3.7.   NCD test cycle








10.3.3.7.1.


The NCD test cycle considered in this Section 10 for demonstrating the correct performance of the NCD system is the hot NRTC cycle.












10.3.3.7.2.


On request of the manufacturer and with approval of the Approval Authority, an alternative NCD test-cycle can be used (e.g. the NRSC) for a specific monitor. The request shall contain elements (technical considerations, simulation, test results, etc.) demonstrating:






(a)


the requested test-cycle results in a monitor that will run in real world driving, and










(b)


the applicable NCD test-cycle specified in paragraph 10.3.3.7.1 is shown to be less appropriate for the considered monitoring.








10.3.4.   The demonstration of the warning system activation is deemed to be accomplished if, at the end of each demonstration test performed according to Section 10.3.3, the warning system has been properly activated.
10.4.   Demonstration of the inducement system activation

10.4.1.   The demonstration of the inducement system activation shall be done by tests performed on an engine test bench.
10.4.1.1.   Any components or subsystems not physically mounted on the engine system, such as, but not limited to, ambient temperature sensors, level sensors, and operator warning and information systems, that are required in order to perform the demonstrations shall be connected to the engine system for that purpose, or shall be simulated, to the satisfaction of the approval authority.
10.4.1.2.   If the manufacturer chooses, and subject to the agreement of the approval authority, the demonstration tests may be performed on a complete machine or machinery either by mounting the machine on a suitable test bed or by running it on a test track under controlled conditions.
10.4.2.   The test sequence shall demonstrate the activation of the inducement system in case of lack of reagent and in case of one of the failures defined in Sections 7, 8, or 9 of this Annex.
10.4.3.   For the purpose of this demonstration:






(a)


the approval authority shall select, in addition to the lack of reagent, one of the failures defined in Sections 7, 8 or 9 of this Annex that has been previously used in the demonstration of the warning system activation;










(b)


the manufacturer shall, in agreement with the approval authority, be permitted to accelerate the test by simulating the achievement of a certain number of operating hours;










(c)


the achievement of the torque reduction required for low-level inducement may be demonstrated at the same time as the general engine performance approval process performed in accordance with this Directive. Separate torque measurement during the inducement system demonstration is not required in this case;










(d)


the severe inducement shall be demonstrated according to the requirements of Section 10.4.6 of this Appendix.




10.4.4.   The manufacturer shall, in addition, demonstrate the operation of the inducement system under those failure conditions defined in Sections 7, 8 or 9 of this Annex which have not been chosen for use in demonstration tests described in Sections 10.4.1 to 10.4.3.
These additional demonstrations may be performed by presentation to the approval authority of a technical case using evidence such as algorithms, functional analyses, and the result of previous tests.
10.4.4.1.   These additional demonstrations shall in particular demonstrate to the satisfaction of the approval authority the inclusion of the correct torque reduction mechanism in the engine ECU.
10.4.5.   Demonstration test of the low level inducement system
10.4.5.1.   This demonstration starts when the warning system or when appropriate “continuous” warning system has been activated as a result of the detection of a failure selected by the approval authority.
10.4.5.2.   When the system is being checked for its reaction to the case of lack of reagent in the tank, the engine system shall be run until the reagent availability has reached a value of 2,5 per cent of the nominal full capacity of the tank or the value declared by the manufacturer in accordance with Section 6.3.1 of this Annex at which the low-level inducement system is intended to operate.








10.4.5.2.1.


The manufacturer may, with the agreement of the approval authority, simulate continuous running by extracting reagent from the tank, either whilst the engine is running or is stopped.




10.4.5.3.   When the system is checked for its reaction in the case of a failure other than a lack of reagent in the tank, the engine system shall be run for the relevant number of operating hours indicated in Table 3 of this Appendix or, at the choice of the manufacturer, until the relevant counter has reached the value at which the low-level inducement system is activated.
10.4.5.4.   The demonstration of the low level inducement system shall be deemed to be accomplished if, at the end of each demonstration test performed according to Sections 10.4.5.2 and 10.4.5.3, the manufacturer has demonstrated to the approval authority that the engine ECU has activated the torque reduction mechanism.
10.4.6.   Demonstration test of the severe inducement system
10.4.6.1.   This demonstration shall start from a condition where the low-level inducement system has been previously activated and may be performed as a continuation of the tests undertaken to demonstrate the low-level inducement system.
10.4.6.2.   When the system is checked for its reaction in the case of lack of reagent in the tank, the engine system shall be run until the reagent tank is empty, or has reached the level below 2,5 per cent of the nominal full capacity of the tank at which the manufacturer has declared to activate the severe inducement system.








10.4.6.2.1.


The manufacturer may, with the agreement of the approval authority, simulate continuous running by extracting reagent from the tank, either whilst the engine is running or is stopped.




10.4.6.3.   When the system is checked for its reaction in the case of a failure that is not a lack of reagent in the tank, the engine system shall then be run for the relevant number of operating hours indicated in Table 3 of this Appendix or, at the choice of the manufacturer, until the relevant counter has reached the value at which the severe inducement system is activated.
10.4.6.4.   The demonstration of the severe inducement system shall be deemed to be accomplished if, at the end of each demonstration test performed according to paragraphs 10.4.6.2 and 10.4.6.3, the manufacturer has demonstrated to the type-approval authority that the severe inducement mechanism considered in this Annex has been activated.
10.4.7.   Alternatively, if the manufacturer chooses, and subject to the agreement of the approval authority, the demonstration of the inducement mechanisms may be performed on a complete machine in accordance with the requirements of Section 5.4, either by mounting the machine on a suitable test bed or by running it on a test track under controlled conditions.
10.4.7.1.   The machine shall be operated until the counter associated with the selected failure has reached the relevant number of operating hours indicated in Table 3 of this Appendix or, as appropriate, until either the reagent tank is empty or, has reached the level below 2,5 per cent of the nominal full capacity of the tank at which the manufacturer has chosen to activate the severe inducement system.

11.3.2.   The operator inducement system shall be deactivated when the system no longer detects a malfunction justifying its activation, or if the information including the DTCs relative to the NCMs justifying its activation has been erased by a scan tool or maintenance tool.
11.3.3.   The operator warning and inducement systems shall be immediately activated or deactivated as appropriate according to the provisions of Section 6 of this Annex after assessment of the reagent quantity in the reagent tank. In that case, the activation or deactivation mechanisms shall not depend upon the status of any associated DTC.
11.4.   Counter mechanism

11.4.1.   General
11.4.1.1.   To comply with the requirements of this Annex, the system shall contain at least four counters to record the number of hours during which the engine has been operated while the system has detected any of the following:






(a)


an incorrect reagent quality;










(b)


an interruption of reagent dosing activity;










(c)


an impeded EGR valve;










(d)


a failure of the NCD system according to Section 9.1(ii) of this Annex.




11.4.1.1.1.   Optionally, the manufacturer may use one or more counters for grouping the failures indicated in Section 11.4.1.1.
11.4.1.2.   Each of the counters shall count up to the maximum value provided in a 2 byte counter with 1 hour resolution and hold that value unless the conditions allowing the counter to be reset to zero are met.
11.4.1.3.   A manufacturer may use a single or multiple NCD system counters. A single counter may accumulate the number of hours of two or more different malfunctions relevant to that type of counter, none of them having reached the time the single counter indicates.
11.4.1.3.1.   When the manufacturer decides to use multiple NCD system counters, the system shall be capable of assigning a specific monitoring system counter to each malfunction relevant according to this Annex to that type of counters.
11.4.2.   Principle of counters mechanism
11.4.2.1.   Each of the counters shall operate as follows:






11.4.2.1.1.


If starting from zero, the counter shall begin counting as soon as a malfunction relevant to that counter is detected and the corresponding diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has the status defined in Table 2.










11.4.2.1.2.


In case of repeated failures, one of the following provisions shall apply at the choice of the manufacturer.






(i)


If a single monitoring event occurs and the malfunction that originally activated the counter is no longer detected or if the failure has been erased by a scan tool or a maintenance tool, the counter shall halt and hold its current value. If the counter stops counting when the severe inducement system is active, the counter shall be kept frozen at the value defined in Table 4 of this Appendix or a value of greater than or equal to the counter value for severe inducement minus 30 minutes.










(ii)


The counter shall be kept frozen at the value defined in Table 4 of this Appendix or a value greater than or equal to the counter value for severe inducement minus 30 minutes.














11.4.2.1.3.


In the case of a single monitoring system counter, that counter shall continue counting if a NCM relevant to that counter has been detected and its corresponding Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has the status “confirmed and active”. It shall halt and hold one of the values specified in Section 11.4.2.1.2, if no NCM that would justify the counter activation is detected or if all the failures relevant to that counter have been erased by a scan tool or a maintenance tool.

11.4.2.1.4.


Once frozen, the counter shall be reset to zero when the monitors relevant to that counter have run at least once to completion of their monitoring cycle without having detected a malfunction and no malfunction relevant to that counter has been detected during 40 engine operating hours since the counter was last held (see Figure 4).










11.4.2.1.5.


The counter shall continue counting from the point at which it had been held if a malfunction relevant to that counter is detected during a period when the counter is frozen (see Figure 4).




11.5.   Illustration of the activation and deactivation and counter mechanisms

11.5.1.   This paragraph illustrates the activation and deactivation and counter mechanisms for some typical cases. The figures and descriptions given in paragraphs 11.5.2, 11.5.3 and 11.5.4 are provided solely for the purposes of illustration in this Annex and should not be referenced as examples of either the requirements of this Directive or as definitive statements of the processes involved. The counter hours in Figures 6 and 7 refer to the maximum severe inducement values in Table 4. For simplification purposes, for example, the fact that the warning system will also be active when the inducement system is active has not been mentioned in the illustrations given.

Figure 4


Reactivation and resetting to zero of a counter after a period when its value has been frozen




11.5.2.   Figure 5 illustrates the operation of the activation and deactivation mechanisms when monitoring the reagent availability for five cases:






—


use case 1: the operator continues operating the machine in spite of the warning until machine operation is disabled;










—


refilling case 1 (“adequate” refilling): the operator refills the reagent tank so that a level above the 10 % threshold is reached. Warning and inducement are de-activated;










—


refilling cases 2 and 3 (“inadequate” refilling): the warning system is activated. The level of warning depends on the amount of available reagent;










—


refilling case 4 (“very inadequate” refilling): the low level inducement is activated immediately.





Figure 5


Reagent availability




11.5.3.   Figure 6 illustrates three cases of wrong reagent quality:






—


use case 1: the operator continues operating the machine in spite of the warning until machine operation is disabled;










—


repair case 1 (“bad” or “dishonest” repair): after disablement of the machine, the operator changes the quality of the reagent, but soon after, changes it again for a poor quality one. The inducement system is immediately reactivated and machine operation is disabled after 2 engine operating hours;










—


repair case 2 (“good” repair): after disablement of the machine, the operator rectifies the quality of the reagent. However some time afterwards, he refills again with a poor quality reagent. The warning, inducement and counting processes restart from zero.





Figure 6


Filling with poor reagent quality




11.5.4.   Figure 7 illustrates three cases of failure of the urea dosing system. This figure also illustrates the process that applies in the case of the monitoring failures described in Section 9 of this Annex:






—


use case 1: the operator continues operating the machine in spite of the warning until machine operation is disabled;










—


repair case 1 (“good” repair): after disablement of the machine, the operator repairs the dosing system. However some time afterwards, the dosing system fails again. The warning, inducement and counting processes restart from zero;










—


repair case 2 (“bad” repair): during the low-level inducement time (torque reduction), the operator repairs the dosing system. Soon after, however, the dosing system fails again. The low-level inducement system is immediately reactivated and the counter restarts from the value it had at the time of repair.

12.   Demonstration of the minimum acceptable reagent concentration CDmin










12.1.


The manufacturer shall demonstrate the correct value of CDmin during type approval by performing the hot part of the NRTC cycle using a reagent with the concentration CDmin.












12.2.


The test shall follow the appropriate NCD cycle(s) or manufacturer defined pre-conditioning cycle, permitting a closed loop NOx control system to perform adaptation to the quality of the reagent with the concentration CDmin.












12.3.


The pollutant emissions resulting from this test shall be lower than the NOx threshold specified in Section 7.1.1 of this Annex.

The control area (see Figure 1) is defined as follows:
speed range: speed A to high speed;
where:
speed A = low speed + 15 % (high speed — low speed).
High speed and low speed as defined in Annex III or, if the manufacturer, based on the option indicated in Section 1.2.1 of Annex III, chooses to use the procedure of Annex 4B to UNECE Regulation No 96.03 series of amendments, the definition of paragraphs 2.1.33 and 2.1.37 to UNECE Regulation No 96.03 series of amendments shall be used.
If the measured engine speed A is within ± 3 % of the engine speed declared by the manufacturer, the declared engine speeds shall be used. If the tolerance is exceeded for any of the test speeds, the measured engine speeds shall be used.
2.   The following engine operating conditions shall be excluded from testing:






(a)


points below 30 % of maximum torque;










(b)


points below 30 % of maximum power.




The manufacturer may request that the Technical Service excludes operating points from the control area defined in Section 1 and 2 of this Appendix during the certification/type approval. Subject to the positive opinion of the Approval Authority, the Technical Service may accept this exclusion if the manufacturer can demonstrate that the engine is never capable of operating at such points when used in any machine combination.

                                 ‘Appendix 5

Durability requirements

1.   VERIFYING THE DURABILITY OF STAGE IIIA AND STAGE IIIB CI ENGINES
This Appendix shall apply to CI engines Stage IIIA and IIIB only.
1.1.   Manufacturers shall determine a Deterioration Factor (DF) value for each regulated pollutant for all Stage IIIA and IIIB engine families. Such DFs shall be used for type approval and production line testing.
1.1.1.   Test to establish DFs shall be conducted as follows:






1.1.1.1.


The manufacturer shall conduct durability tests to accumulate engine operating hours according to a test schedule that is selected on the basis of good engineering judgement to be representative of in-use engine operation in respect to characterising emission performance deterioration. The durability test period should typically represent the equivalent of at least one quarter of the emission durability period (EDP).
Service accumulation operating hours may be acquired through running engines on a dynamometer test bed or from actual infield machine operation. Accelerated durability tests can be applied whereby the service accumulation schedule is performed at a higher load factor than typically experienced in the field. The acceleration factor relating the number of engine durability test hours to the equivalent number of EDP hours shall be determined by the engine manufacturer based on good engineering judgement.
During the period of the durability test, no emission sensitive components can be serviced or replaced other than to the routine service schedule recommended by the manufacturer.
The test engine, subsystems, or components to be used to determine exhaust emission DFs for an engine family, or for engine families of equivalent emission control system technology, shall be selected by the engine manufacturer on the basis of good engineering judgement. The criterion is that the test engine should represent the emission deterioration characteristics of the engine families that will apply the resulting DF values for type approval. Engines of different bore and stroke, different configuration, different air management systems, different fuel systems can be considered as equivalent in respect to emissions deterioration characteristics if there is a reasonable technical basis for such determination.
DF values from another manufacturer can be applied if there is a reasonable basis for considering technology equivalence with respect to emissions deterioration, and evidence that the tests have been carried according to the specified requirements. Emissions testing shall be performed according to the procedures defined in this Directive for the test engine after initial run-in but before any service accumulation test, and at the completion of the durability test. Emission tests can also be performed at intervals during the service accumulation test period and applied in determining the deterioration trend.










1.1.1.2.


The service accumulation tests or the emissions tests performed to determine deterioration need not be witnessed by the approval authority.










1.1.1.3.


Determination of DF values from durability tests
An additive DF is defined as the value obtained by subtraction of the emission value determine at the beginning of the EDP from the emissions value determined to represent the emission performance at the end of the EDP.
A multiplicative DF is defined as the emission level determined for the end of the EDP divided by the emission value recorded at the beginning of the EDP.
Separate DF values shall be established for each of the pollutants covered by the legislation. In the case of establishing a DF value relative to the NOx + HC standard, for an additive DF, this is determined based on the sum of the pollutants notwithstanding that a negative deterioration for one pollutant may not offset deterioration for the other. For a multiplicative NOx + HC DF, separate HC and NOx DFs shall be determined and applied separately when calculating the deteriorated emission levels from an emissions test result before combining the resultant deteriorated NOx and HC values to establish compliance with the standard.
In cases where the testing is not conducted for the full EDP, the emission values at the end of the EDP is determined by extrapolation of the emission deterioration trend established for the test period, to the full EDP.
When emissions test results have been recorded periodically during the service accumulation durability testing, standard statistical processing techniques based on good practice shall be applied to determine the emission levels at the end of the EDP; statistical significance testing can be applied in the determination of the final emissions values.
If the calculation results in a value of less than 1,00 for a multiplicative DF, or less than 0,00 for an additive DF, then the DF shall be 1,0 or 0,00, respectively.










1.1.1.4.


A manufacturer may, with the approval of the type approval authority, use DF values established from results of durability tests conducted to obtain DF values for certification of on-road HD CI engines. This will be allowed if there is technological equivalency between the test on-road engine and the non-road engine families applying the DF values for certification. The DF values, derived from on-road engine emission durability test results, must be calculated on the basis of EDP values defined in Section 3.










1.1.1.5.


In the case where an engine family uses established technology, an analysis based on good engineering practices may be used in lieu of testing to determine a deterioration factor for that engine family subject to approval of the type approval authority.




1.2.   DF information in approval applications

1.2.1.   Additive DFs shall be specified for each pollutant in an engine family approval application for CI engines not using any after treatment device.
1.2.2.   Multiplicative DFs shall be specified for each pollutant in an engine family certification application for CI engines using an after treatment device.
1.2.3.   The manufacture shall furnish the type-approval authority on request with information to support the DF values. This would typically include emission test results, service accumulation schedule, maintenance procedures together with information to support engineering judgements of technological equivalency, if applicable.
2.   VERIFYING THE DURABILITY OF STAGE IV CI ENGINES
2.1.   General

2.1.1.   This section shall apply to CI engines Stage IV. At the request of the manufacturer it may also be applied to CI engines stage IIIA and IIIB as an alternative to the requirements in Section 1 of this Appendix.
2.1.2.   This Section 2 details the procedures for selecting engines to be tested over a service accumulation schedule for the purpose of determining deterioration factors for stage IV engine type approval and conformity of production assessments. The deterioration factors shall be applied in accordance with paragraph 2.4.7 to the emissions measured according to Annex III to this Directive.
2.1.3.   The service accumulation tests or the emissions tests performed to determine deterioration need not be witnessed by the approval authority.
2.1.4.   This Section 2 also details the emission-related and non-emission-related maintenance that should be or may be carried out on engines undergoing a service accumulation schedule. Such maintenance shall conform to the maintenance performed on in-service engines and communicated to owners of new engines.
2.1.5.   At the request of the manufacturer, the type-approval authority may allow the use of deterioration factors that have been established using alternative procedures to those specified in Sections 2.4.1 to 2.4.5. In this case, the manufacturer must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the approval authority that the alternative procedures that have been used are no less rigorous than those contained in Sections 2.4.1 to 2.4.5.
2.2.   Definitions

Applicable for Section 2 of Appendix 5.
2.2.1.   
                                          “Ageing cycle” means the machine or engine operation (speed, load, power) to be executed during the service accumulation period.

                                          “Emission-related maintenance” means the maintenance which substantially affects emissions or which is likely to affect emissions performance deterioration of the vehicle or the engine during normal in-use operation.
2.2.5.   
                                          “Engine-after-treatment system family” means a manufacturer’s grouping of engines that comply with the definition of engine family, but which are further grouped into a family of engine families utilising a similar exhaust after-treatment system.
2.2.6.   
                                          “Non-emission-related maintenance” means maintenance which does not substantially affect emissions and which does not have a lasting affect on the emissions performance deterioration of the machine or the engine during normal in-use operation once the maintenance is performed.
2.2.7.

2.3.2.   Engines from different engine families may be further combined into families based on the type of exhaust after-treatment system utilised. In order to place engines with different cylinder configuration but having similar technical specifications and installation for the exhaust after-treatment systems into the same engine after-treatment system family, the manufacturer shall provide data to the approval authority that demonstrates that the emissions reduction performance of such engine systems is similar.
2.3.3.   One engine representing the engine-after-treatment system family, as determined in accordance with paragraph 2.3.2, shall be selected by the engine manufacturer for testing over the service accumulation schedule defined in paragraph 2.4.2, and shall be reported to the type-approval authority before any testing commences.
2.3.3.1.   If the type-approval authority decides that the worst case emissions of the engine-after-treatment system family can be characterised better by another engine then the test engine shall be selected jointly by the type-approval authority and the engine manufacturer.
2.4.   Establishing emission durability period deterioration factors

2.4.1.   General

Deterioration factors applicable to an engine-after-treatment system family are developed from the selected engines based on a service accumulation schedule that includes periodic testing for gaseous and particulate emissions over the NRSC and NRTC tests.
2.4.2.   Service accumulation schedule

Service accumulation schedules may be carried out at the choice of the manufacturer by running a machine equipped with the selected engine over an “in-service” accumulation schedule or by running the selected engine over a “dynamometer service” accumulation schedule.
2.4.2.1.   In-service and dynamometer service accumulation








2.4.2.1.1.


The manufacturer shall determine the form and duration of the service accumulation and the ageing cycle for engines in a manner consistent with good engineering practice.












2.4.2.1.2.


The manufacturer shall determine the test points where gaseous and particulate emissions will be measured over the hot NRTC and NRSC cycles. The minimum number of test points shall be three, one at the beginning, one approximately in the middle and one at the end of the service accumulation schedule.












2.4.2.1.3.


The emission values at the start point and at the emission durability period endpoint calculated in accordance with paragraph 2.4.5.2 shall be within the limit values applicable to the engine family, but individual emission results from the test points may exceed those limit values.












2.4.2.1.4.


At the request of the manufacturer and with the agreement of the type-approval authority, only one test cycle (either the hot NRTC or NRSC cycle) needs to be run at each test point, with the other test cycle run only at the beginning and at the end of the service accumulation schedule.












2.4.2.1.5.


In the case of constant speed engines, engines below 19 kW, engines above 560 kW, engines intended to be used in inland waterway vessels and engines for the propulsion of railcars and locomotives, only the NRSC cycle shall be run at each test point.












2.4.2.1.6.


Service accumulation schedules may be different for different engine-after-treatment system families.












2.4.2.1.7.


Service accumulation schedules may be shorter than the emission durability period, but shall not be shorter than the equivalent of at least one quarter of the relevant emission durability period specified in Section 3 of this Appendix.












2.4.2.1.8.


Accelerated ageing by adjusting the service accumulation schedule on a fuel consumption basis is permitted. The adjustment shall be based on the ratio between the typical in-use fuel consumption and the fuel consumption on the ageing cycle, but fuel consumption on the ageing cycle must not exceed typical in-use fuel consumption by more than 30 %.












2.4.2.1.9.


At the request of the manufacturer and with the agreement of the type-approval authority, alternative methods of accelerated ageing may be permitted.












2.4.2.1.10.


The service accumulation schedule shall be fully described in the application for type-approval and reported to the type-approval authority before the start of any testing.




2.4.2.2.   If the type-approval authority decides that additional measurements need to be performed between the points selected by the manufacturer it shall notify the manufacturer. The revised service accumulation schedule shall be prepared by the manufacturer and agreed by the type-approval authority.
2.4.3.   Engine testing

2.4.3.1.   Engine system stabilisation








2.4.3.1.1.


For each engine-after-treatment system family, the manufacturer shall determine the number of hours of machine or engine running after which the operation of the engine-after-treatment system has stabilised. If requested by the approval authority the manufacturer shall make available the data and analysis used to make this determination. As an alternative, the manufacturer may select to run the engine or machine between 60 and 125 hours or the equivalent time on the ageing cycle to stabilise the engine-after-treatment system.












2.4.3.1.2.


The end of the stabilisation period determined in Section 2.4.3.1.1 shall be deemed to be the start of the service accumulation schedule.




2.4.3.2.   Service accumulation testing








2.4.3.2.1.


After stabilisation, the engine shall be run over the service accumulation schedule selected by the manufacturer, as described in Section 2.3.2. At the periodic intervals in the service accumulation schedule determined by the manufacturer, and, where appropriate, also stipulated by the type-approval authority in accordance with Section 2.4.2.2, the engine shall be tested for gaseous and particulate emissions over the hot NRTC and NRSC cycles.
The manufacturer may select to measure the pollutant emissions before any exhaust after-treatment system separately from the pollutant emissions after any exhaust after-treatment system.
In accordance with Section 2.4.2.1.4, if it has been agreed that only one test cycle (hot NRTC or NRSC) be run at each test point, the other test cycle (hot NRTC or NRSC) shall be run at the beginning and end of the service accumulation schedule.
In accordance with Section 2.4.2.1.5, in the case of constant speed engines, engines below 19 kW, engines above 560 kW, engines intended to be used in inland waterway vessels and engines for the propulsion of railcars and locomotives, only the NRSC cycle shall be run at each test point.












2.4.3.2.2.


During the service accumulation schedule, maintenance shall be carried out on the engine according to Section 2.5.












2.4.3.2.3.


During the service accumulation schedule, unscheduled maintenance on the engine or machine may be performed, for example if the manufacturer’s normal diagnostic system has detected a problem that would have indicated to the machine operator that a fault had arisen.




2.4.4.   Reporting

2.4.4.1.   The results of all emission tests (hot NRTC and NRSC) conducted during the service accumulation schedule shall be made available to the type-approval authority. If any emission test is declared to be void, the manufacturer shall provide an explanation of why the test has been declared void. In such a case, another series of emission tests shall be carried out within the following 100 hours of service accumulation.
2.4.4.2.   The manufacturer shall retain records of all information concerning all the emission tests and maintenance carried out on the engine during the service accumulation schedule. This information shall be submitted to the approval authority along with the results of the emission tests conducted over the service accumulation schedule.
2.4.5.   Determination of deterioration factors

2.4.5.1.   For each pollutant measured over the hot NRTC and NRSC cycles at each test point during the service accumulation schedule, a “best fit” linear regression analysis shall be made on the basis of all test results. The results of each test for each pollutant shall be expressed to the same number of decimal places as the limit value for that pollutant, as applicable to the engine family, plus one additional decimal place.
In accordance with Section 2.4.2.1.4 or Section 2.4.2.1.5, if only one test cycle (hot NRTC or NRSC) has been run at each test point, the regression analysis shall be made only on the basis of the test results from the test cycle run at each test point.
At the request of the manufacturer and with the prior approval of the type approval authority, non-linear regression is permitted.
2.4.5.2.   The emission values for each pollutant at the start of the service accumulation schedule and at the emission durability period end point that is applicable for the engine under test shall be calculated from the regression equation. If the service accumulation schedule is shorter than the emission durability period, the emission values at the emission durability period end point shall be determined by extrapolation of the regression equation as determined in Section 2.4.5.1.
In the case that emission values are used for engine families in the same engine-after-treatment family but with different emission durability periods, then the emission values at the emission durability period end point shall be recalculated for each emission durability period by extrapolation or interpolation of the regression equation as determined in Section 2.4.5.1.
2.4.5.3.   The deterioration factor (DF) for each pollutant is defined as the ratio of the applied emission values at the emission durability period end point and at the start of the service accumulation schedule (multiplicative deterioration factor).
At the request of the manufacturer and with the prior approval of the type-approval authority, an additive DF for each pollutant may be applied. The additive DF is defined as the difference between the calculated emission values at the emission durability period end point and at the start of the service accumulation schedule.
An example for determination of DFs by using linear regression is shown in Figure 1 for NOx emission.
Mixing of multiplicative and additive DFs within one set of pollutants is not permitted.
If the calculation results in a value of less than 1,00 for a multiplicative DF, or less than 0,00 for an additive DF, then the deterioration factor shall be 1,0 or 0,00, respectively.
In accordance with Section 2.4.2.1.4, if it has been agreed that only one test cycle (hot NRTC or NRSC) be run at each test point and the other test cycle (hot NRTC or NRSC) run only at the beginning and end of the service accumulation schedule, the deterioration factor calculated for the test cycle that has been run at each test point shall be applicable also for the other test cycle.

Figure 1


Example of DF determination




2.4.6.   Assigned deterioration factors

2.4.6.1.   As an alternative to using a service accumulation schedule to determine DFs, engine manufacturers may select to use the following assigned multiplicative DFs:









Test cycle


CO


HC


NOx



PM




NRTC


1,3 


1,3 


1,15 


1,05 




NRSC


1,3 


1,3 


1,15 


1,05 




Assigned additive DFs are not given. It is not permitted to transform the assigned multiplicative DFs into additive DFs.
Where assigned DFs are used, the manufacturer shall present to the type approval authority robust evidence that the emission control components can reasonably be expected to have the emission durability associated with those assigned factors. This evidence may be based upon design analysis, or tests, or a combination of both.
2.4.7.   Application of deterioration factors

2.4.7.1.   The engines shall meet the respective emission limits for each pollutant, as applicable to the engine family, after application of the deterioration factors to the test result as measured in accordance with Annex III (cycle-weighted specific emission for particulate and each individual gas). Depending on the type of DF, the following provisions apply:






—


Multiplicative: (cycle weighted specific emission) * DF ≤ emission limit










—


Additive: (cycle weighted specific emission) + DF ≤ emission limit




If the manufacturer, based on the option indicated in Section 1.2.1 of this Annex, chooses to use the procedure of Annex 4B to UNECE Regulation No 96.03 series of amendments, cycle weighted specific emission may include the adjustment for infrequent regeneration, where applicable.
2.4.7.2.   For a multiplicative NOx + HC DF, separate HC and NOx DFs shall be determined and applied separately when calculating the deteriorated emission levels from an emissions test result before combining the resultant deteriorated NOx and HC values to establish compliance with the emission limit.
2.4.7.3.   The manufacturer may select to carry across the DFs determined for an engine-after-treatment system family to an engine system that does not fall into the same engine-after-treatment system family. In such cases, the manufacturer shall demonstrate to the approval authority that the engine system for which the engine-after-treatment system family was originally tested and the engine system for which the DFs are being carried across have similar technical specifications and installation requirements on the machine and that the emissions of such engine or engine system are similar.
In the case that DFs are carried across to an engine system with a different emission durability period, then the DFs shall be recalculated for the applicable emission durability period by extrapolation or interpolation of the regression equation as determined in Section 2.4.5.1.
2.4.7.4.   The DF for each pollutant for each applicable test cycle shall be recorded in the test result document set out in Appendix 1 to Annex VII.
2.4.8.   Checking of conformity of production

2.4.8.1.   Conformity of production for emissions compliance is checked on the basis of Section 5 of Annex I.
2.4.8.2.   The manufacturer may select to measure the pollutant emissions before any exhaust after-treatment system at the same time as the type-approval test is being performed. In so doing, the manufacturer may develop informal DFs separately for the engine and for the after-treatment system that may be used by the manufacturer as an aid to end of production line auditing.
2.4.8.3.   For the purposes of type-approval, only the DFs determined in accordance with paragraph 2.4.5 or 2.4.6 shall be recorded in the test result document set out in Appendix 1 to Annex VII.
2.5.   Maintenance

For the purpose of the service accumulation schedule, maintenance shall be performed in accordance with the manufacturer’s manual for service and maintenance.
2.5.1.   Emission-related scheduled maintenance

2.5.1.1.   Emission-related scheduled maintenance during engine running, undertaken for the purpose of conducting a service accumulation schedule, must occur at equivalent intervals to those that will be specified in the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions to the owner of the machine or engine. This maintenance schedule may be updated as necessary throughout the service accumulation schedule provided that no maintenance operation is deleted from the maintenance schedule after the operation has been performed on the test engine.
2.5.1.2.   The engine manufacturer shall specify for the service accumulation schedules any adjustment, cleaning, maintenance (where necessary) and scheduled exchange of the following items:






—


filters and coolers in the exhaust gas re-circulation system










—


positive crankcase ventilation valve, if applicable










—


fuel injector tips (only cleaning is permitted)










—


fuel injectors










—


turbocharger










—

—


particulate after-treatment system (including related components)










—


NOx after-treatment system (including related components)










—


exhaust gas re-circulation system, including all related control valves and tubing










—


any other exhaust after-treatment system.




2.5.1.3.   Critical emission-related scheduled maintenance shall only be performed if intended to be performed in-use and the requirement to perform such maintenance is to be communicated to the owner of the machine.
2.5.2.   Changes to scheduled maintenance

2.5.2.1.   The manufacturer shall submit a request to the type-approval authority for approval of any new scheduled maintenance that it wishes to perform during the service accumulation schedule and subsequently to recommend to owners of machines and engines. The request shall be accompanied by data supporting the need for the new scheduled maintenance and the maintenance interval.
2.5.3.   Non-emission-related scheduled maintenance

2.5.3.1.   Non-emission-related scheduled maintenance which is reasonable and technically necessary (for example oil change, oil filter change, fuel filter change, air filter change, cooling system maintenance, idle speed adjustment, governor, engine bolt torque, valve lash, injector lash, adjustment of the tension of any drive-belt, etc.) may be performed on engines or machines selected for the service accumulation schedule at the least frequent intervals recommended by the manufacturer to the owner (for example not at the intervals recommended for severe service).
2.5.4.   Repair

2.5.4.1.   Repairs to the components of an engine system selected for testing over a service accumulation schedule shall be performed only as a result of component failure or engine system malfunction. Repair of the engine itself, the emission control system or the fuel system is not permitted except to the extent defined in paragraph 2.5.4.2.
2.5.4.2.   If the engine itself, the emission control system or the fuel system fail during the service accumulation schedule, the service accumulation shall be considered void, and a new service accumulation shall be started with a new engine system, unless the failed components are replaced with equivalent components that have been subject to a similar number of hours of service accumulation.
3.   EMISSION DURABILITY PERIOD FOR STAGE IIIA, IIIB AND IV ENGINES
