               The provisions of paragraph 6.2.1 shall not apply if at least one of the following conditions is met:
            
         
            
               6.2.2.1
            
            
               The light absorption coefficient of the gases emitted by the engine at steady speeds when measured by the procedure prescribed in ANNEX 4 to this Regulation with the cold-start device operating, is within the limits prescribed in ANNEX 7 to this Regulation.
            
         
            
               6.2.2.2
            
            
               Keeping the cold-start device in operation causes the engine to stop within a reasonable time.
            
         
            
               6.2.3
            
            
               If necessary any vehicle related part of the system may be simulated for the approval test.
            
         6.3   Specifications concerning the emission of visible pollutants
   
            
               6.3.1
            
            
               The emission of visible pollutants by the engine submitted for approval shall be measured by the methods described in Annexes 4 and 5 to this Regulation.
            
         
            
               6.3.2
            
            
               The power of the engine submitted for approval shall be within the tolerances specified under paragraph 3.1.5 of Annex 4 to this Regulation.
            
         
            
               6.3.3
            
            
               The emission of visible pollutants, as measured by the method described in Annex 4 to this Regulation, shall not exceed the limits prescribed in Annex 7 to this Regulation.
            
         
            
               6.3.4
            
            
               At the request of the manufacturer additional tests described in Annexes 4 and 5 shall be performed to obtain free acceleration values for derivatives of the approved engine permitted by paragraphs 7.2. and 7.3. of this Regulation.
            
         
            
               6.3.4.1
            
            
               If the engine manufacturer desires to have the visible pollutants measured over a smaller range of torque and/or speed than is allowed by paragraph 7.3. of this Regulation, then the approval of the engine type will be for the limited range of torque and speed.
            
         
            
               6.3.4.2
            
            
               If at a later stage it is desired to extend the approval of the engine to cover the whole of the torque/speed range allowed by paragraph 7.3. of this Regulation then a further engine would have to be submitted for test so that the visible pollutants can be established for that part of the load/speed range which has previously been omitted.
            
         
            
               6.3.5
            
            
               If in order to meet some parts of the torque and speed ranges it is necessary to have additional specifications then these shall be declared in the format of Annex 1 and attached to the documentation submitted.
            
         
            
               6.3.6
            
            
               The value of the free acceleration absorption coefficient allocated to the engine will be appropriately chosen in accordance with its rated speed and torque from the matrix of values established by the method in Annex 5 to this Regulation.
            
         
            
               6.3.7
            
            
               In the case of engines with an exhaust-driven supercharger the absorption coefficient measured under free acceleration shall not exceed the limit prescribed in Annex 7 for the nominal flow value corresponding to the maximum absorption coefficient measured during the tests at steady speeds, plus 0,5 m-l.
            
         
            
               6.4
            
            
               Equivalent measuring instruments shall be allowed. If an instrument other than those described in Annex 8 to this Regulation is used, its equivalence for the engine considered shall be required to be proved.
            
         7.   MODIFICATION OF THE ENGINE TYPE AND EXTENSION OF APPROVAL
   
            
               7.1
            
            
               Every modification of an engine within an engine type with regard to the characteristics in Annex 1 shall be notified to the administrative department which approved the engine type. Details of these modifications shall be declared in the format of Annex 1. Within the constraints imposed by paragraphs 7.2 and 7.3, the department may then either:
            
         
            
               7.1.1
            
            
               consider that the modifications made are unlikely to have an appreciable adverse effect, and that in any case the engine still complies with the requirements, or
            
         
            
               7.1.2
            
            
               require a further test report from the technical service responsible for conducting the test.
            
         
            
               7.2
            
            
               For the purposes of this Regulation, with regard to the emission of visible pollutants the modifications may be classified as follows:
               
                           (1)
                        
                        
                           Modifications which require a new approval with tests.
                        
                     
                           (2)
                        
                        
                           Modifications which require a new approval without tests.
                        
                     
                           (3)
                        
                        
                           Modifications which may require new tests however without new approval.
                        
                     
                           (4)
                        
                        
                           Modifications which do not require complementary tests or new approvals.
                        
                     The above classifications (1), (2), (3) and (4) are marked on each line of the corresponding characteristics in Annex 1.
            
         
            
               7.3
            
            
               Irrespective of these classifications in paragraph 7.2, a new approval, with tests, i.e. Classification (1), will automatically be required unless the engine also respects the following conditions:
               
                            
                        
                        
                           Maximum rated speed not greater than 100 % or less than 75 % of that of the engine in the approval test,
                        
                     
                            
                        
                        
                           Minimum rated speed not less than that of the engine in the approval test,
                        
                     
                            
                        
                        
                           Torque rating not greater than 100 %, nor less than 70 % of that of the engine at that speed in the approval test,
                        
                     
                            
                        
                        
                           Steady state absorption values are not greater than 1,1 times the values obtained in the approval test and do not exceed the prescribed limits in Annex 7,
                        
                     
                            
                        
                        
                           Exhaust back pressure not greater than that of the engine in the type approval test,
                        
                     
                            
                        
                        
                           Exhaust system volume does not differ by more than 40 %,
                        
                     
                            
                        
                        
                           Intake depression not greater than that of the engine in the type approval test,
                        
                     
                            
                        
                        
                           Moment of inertia of a new combined flywheel and transmission is within 15 % of the engine flywheel and transmission system approved.
                        
                     
                  Note: In all cases the engine in the approval test means ‘an engine representative of the type to be approved’ as defined in paragraph 3.3.
            
         
            
               7.4
            
            
               If the manufacturer asks to cover the range of de-rated and de-speeded engines allowed for in paragraph 7.3 of Part I of this Regulation, tests shall also be carried out over the speed range defined in paragraph 2.2 of Annex 5 with the engine reset to give 90 %, 80 % and 70 % of the full power. If the engine is de-speeded then the minimum speed defined in paragraph 2.2 of Annex 5 to this Regulation shall be calculated from the derivative with the lowest maximum power speed. If the engine manufacturer desires to have the visible pollutants measured over a smaller range of torque and/or speed than is allowed by paragraph 7.3 of Part I of the Regulation, then the approval of the engine type will be for the limited range of torque and/or speed.
            
         
            
               7.5
            
            
               For such modifications further tests must be carried out to establish free acceleration smoke values in accordance with paragraph 6.3.1 of this Regulation unless these values can be established from tests already carried out as allowed under paragraph 6.3.4.
            
         
            
               7.6
            
            
               Confirmation or refusal of approval, specifying the alterations, shall be communicated by the procedure specified in paragraph 5.3 above to the Parties to the Agreement which apply this Regulation.
            
         
            
               7.7
            
            
               The competent authority issuing the extension of approval shall assign a series number to each communication form drawn up for such an extension.
            
         8.   CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION
   
            
               8.1
            
            
               Every engine identified by an approval mark and/or document as prescribed in paragraph 5.4 of this Regulation shall conform, with regard to components affecting the emission of visible pollutants, to the engine type approved.
            
         
            
               8.2
            
            
               In order to verify conformity as prescribed in paragraph 8.1, an engine shall be taken from the series.
            
         
            
               8.3
            
            
               Conformity of the engine with the type approved shall be verified on the basis of the description given in the approval form according to Annex 2 to this Regulation. In addition, verifying tests shall be carried out in the following conditions:
            
         
            
               8.3.1
            
            
               An engine which has not been run in shall be subjected to the test under free acceleration prescribed in Annex 5 to this Regulation. The engine shall be deemed to conform to the approved type if the absorption coefficient determined does not exceed by more than 0,5 m-1 the figure shown in the approval mark or document for that engine (see paragraph 8.1). On the request of the manufacturer, commercially available fuel may be used rather than the reference fuel.
            
         
            
               8.3.2
            
            
               If the figure determined in the test referred to in paragraph 8.3.1 exceeds by more than 0,5 m-l the figure shown in the approval document for that engine, the engine shall be subjected to the test at steady speeds over the full load curve as prescribed in Annex 4 to this Regulation. The emission levels shall not exceed the limits prescribed in Annex 7 to this Regulation.
            
         9.   PENALITIES FOR NON-CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION
   
            
               9.1
            
            
               The approval granted in respect of an engine type pursuant to this Regulation may be withdrawn if the requirements laid down in paragraph 8.1 are not complied with or if the engine has failed to pass the test prescribed in paragraph 8.3.
            
         
            
               9.2
            
            
               If a Party to the Agreement which applies this Regulation withdraws an approval it has previously granted, it shall forthwith so notify the other Contracting Parties to the Agreement which apply this Regulation, by means of a copy of the approval form bearing at the end, in large letters, the signed and dated annotation ‘APPROVAL WITHDRAWN’.
            
         10.   PRODUCTION DEFINITELY DISCONTINUED
   If the holder of the approval completely ceases production of the engine approved in accordance with this Regulation, he shall so inform the authority which granted the approval. Upon receiving the relevant communication, that authority shall inform thereof the other Parties to the Agreement applying this Regulation, by means of a copy of the approval form bearing at the end, in large letters, the signed and dated annotation ‘PRODUCTION DISCONTINUED’.

               25.2
            
            
               Confirmation or refusal of approval, specifying the alterations, shall be communicated by the procedure specified in paragraph 23.3 to the Parties to the Agreement which apply this Regulation.
            
         
            
               25.3
            
            
               The competent authority issuing the extension of approval shall assign a series number to each communication form drawn up for such an extension.
            
         26.   CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION
   
            
               26.1
            
            
               Every vehicle bearing an approval mark as prescribed by this Regulation shall conform, with regard to components affecting the emission of visible pollutants by the engine, to the vehicle type approved.
            
         
            
               26.2
            
            
               In order to verify conformity as prescribed in paragraph 26.1, a vehicle bearing the approval mark required by this Regulation shall be taken from the series.
            
         
            
               26.3
            
            
               Conformity of the vehicle with the type approved shall be verified on the basis of the description given in the approval form. In addition, verifying tests shall be carried out in the following conditions:
            
         
            
               26.3.1
            
            
               A vehicle which has not been run in shall be subjected to the test under free acceleration prescribed in Annex 5 to this Regulation. The vehicle shall be deemed to conform to the type approved if the absorption coefficient determined does not exceed by more than 0,5 m-1 the figure shown in the approval mark (see paragraph 26.1).

      ANNEX 4
      TEST AT STEADY SPEEDS OVER THE FULL-LOAD CURVE
      1.   INTRODUCTION
      
               
                  1.1.
               
               
                  This Annex describes the method of determining emissions of visible pollutants at different steady speeds over the full-load curve.
               
            
               
                  1.2
               
               
                  The test may be carried out either on an engine or on a vehicle.
               
            2.   MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE
      
               
                  2.1
               
               
                  The opacity of the exhaust gases produced by the engine shall be measured with the engine running under full-load and at steady speed.
               
            
               
                  2.2
               
               
                  A sufficient number of measurements will be carried out ranging between the maximum rated speed and the minimum rated speed. The extreme points of measurement shall be situated at the limits of the interval defined above and one point of measurement will coincide with the speed at which the engine develops its maximum power and the speed at which it develops maximum torque.
               
            3.   TEST CONDITIONS
      3.1   Vehicle or engine

                        Each measuring point governs the power and speed area to the left of and below that point and is the measuring point for any engine rated in that area. For example the measuring point at ‘A’ which is for the 90 % full load line and 100 % rated speed applies to the rated power/speed area bounded by ABCD on the diagram.

                  If the test is a bench test the engine shall be disconnected from the brake, the latter being replaced either by the rotating parts driven when no gear is engaged or by an inertia substantially equivalent to that of the said parts (see paragraph 7.3 of Annex 1 to this Regulation).

                  If the test is carried out on a vehicle the gear-change control shall be set in the neutral position and the drive between engine and gear-box engaged.
               
            
               
                  2.5
               
               
                  With the engine idling, the accelerator control shall be operated quickly, but not violently, so as to obtain maximum delivery from the injection pump. This position shall be maintained until maximum engine speed is reached and the governor comes into action. As soon as this speed is reached the accelerator shall be released until the engine resumes its idling speed and the opacimeter reverts to the corresponding conditions.
               
            
               
                  2.6
               
               
                  The operation described in paragraph 2.5 shall be repeated not less than six times in order to clear the exhaust system and to allow for any necessary adjustment of the apparatus. The maximum opacity values read in each successive acceleration shall be noted until stabilised values are obtained. No account shall be taken of the values read while, after each acceleration, the engine is idling. The values read shall be regarded as stabilised when four of them consecutively are situated within a band width of 0,25 m-1 and do not form a decreasing sequence. The absorption coefficient XM to be recorded shall be the arithmetical mean of these four values.
               
            
               
                  2.7
               
               
                  Engines fitted with an air pressure-charger shall be subject, where appropriate, to the following special requirements:
               
            
               
                  2.7.1
               
               
                  In the case of engines with an air pressure-charger which is coupled or driven mechanically by the engine and is capable of being disengaged, two complete measurement cycles with preliminary accelerations shall be carried out, the air pressure-charger being engaged in one case and disengaged in the other. The measurement result recorded shall be the higher of the two results obtained; and
               
            
               
                  2.7.2
               
               
                  in cases where the engine has several exhaust outlets, the tests shall be carried out with all the outlets joined in an adequate device ensuring mixture of the gases and ending in a single orifice. Free acceleration tests, however, may be carried out on each outlet. In this case the value to be used for calculating the correction to the absorption coefficient shall be the arithmetical mean of the values recorded at each outlet, and the test shall be regarded as valid only if the extreme values measured do not differ by more than 0,15 m-1.

         Note 3: This fuel may be based on straight run and cracked distillates; desulphurisation is allowed. It must not contain any metallic additives.
      
         Note 4: The values quoted in the specification are ‘true values’. In establishment of their limit values the terms of ASTM D 3244 ‘Defining a Basis for Petroleum Product Quality Disputes’ have been applied and, in fixing a maximum value, a minimum difference of 2R above zero has been taken into account; in fixing a maximum and minimum value, the minimum difference is 4R (R = Reproducibility). Notwithstanding this measure, which is necessary for statistical reasons, the manufacturer of a fuel should nevertheless aim at a zero value where the stipulated maximum value is 2R and at the mean value in the case of quotations of maximum and minimum limits. Should it be necessary to clarify the question as to whether a fuel meets the requirements of the specification, the terms of ASTM D 3244 should be applied.
      
         Note 5: If it is required to calculate the thermal efficiency of an engine or vehicle, the calorific value of the fuel can be calculated from: specific energy (calorific value) (net)
      MJ/kg = (46,423 - 8,792 d2 +3,170 d)
      (1 — (x + y + s)) +9,420 s -2,499 x where:
      d is the density at 15 °C
      x is the proportion by mass of water (% divided by 100)
      y is the proportion by mass of ash (% divided by 100)
      s is the proportion by mass of sulphur (% divided by 100).

      CHARACTERISTICS OF OPACIMETERS
      1.   SCOPE
      This Annex defines the conditions to be met by opacimeters used in the tests described in Annexes 4 and 5 to this Regulation.
      2.   BASIC SPECIFICATION FOR OPACIMETERS
      
               
                  2.1
               
               
                  The gas to be measured shall be confined in an enclosure having a non-reflecting internal surface.
               
            
               
                  2.2
               
               
                  In determining the effective length of the light path through the gas, account shall be taken of the possible influence of devices protecting the light source and the photoelectric cell. This effective length shall be indicated on the instrument.
               
            
               
                  2.3
               
               
                  The indicating dial of the opacimeter shall have two measuring scales, one in absolute units of light absorption from 0 to ∞ (m-1) and the other linear from 0 to 100; both scales shall range from 0 at total light flux to full scale at complete obscuration.
               
            3.   CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS
      3.1   General
      The design shall be such that under steady-speed operating conditions the smoke chamber is filled with smoke of uniform opacity.
      3.2   Smoke chamber and opacimeter casing
      
               
                  3.2.1
               
               
                  The impingement on the photoelectric cell of stray light due to internal reflections or diffusion effects shall be reduced to a minimum (e.g. by finishing internal surfaces in matt black and by a suitable general layout).
               
            
               
                  3.2.2
               
               
                  The optical characteristics shall be such that the combined effect of diffusion and reflection does not exceed one unit on the linear scale when the smoke chamber is filled with smoke having an absorption coefficient near 1,7 m-1.
               
            3.3   Light source
      The light source shall be an incandescent lamp with a colour temperature in the range of 2 800 to 3 250 K or a green light-emitting diode (LED) with a spectral peak between 550 and 570 nm.
      The light source shall be protected against sooting by means that do not influence the optical path length beyond the manufacturer's specifications.
      3.4   Receiver
      
               
                  3.4.1
               
               
                  The receiver shall consist of a photoelectric cell with a spectral response curve similar to the photopic curve of the human eye (maximum response in the range 550/570 nm; less than 4 % of that maximum response below 430 mm and above 680 nm).
               
            
               
                  3.4.2
               
               
                  The construction of the electrical circuit, including the indicating dial, shall be such that the current output from the photoelectric cell is a linear function of the intensity of the light received over the operating-temperature range of the photoelectric cell.
               
            3.5   Measuring scales
      
               
                  3.5.1
               
               
                  The light-absorption coefficient k shall be calculated by the formula Ø = Øo e-kL, where L is the effective length of the light path through the gas to be measured, Øo the incident flux and Ø the emergent flux. When the effective length L of a type of opacimeter cannot be assessed directly from its geometry, the effective length L shall be determined
                  either by the method described in paragraph 4 of this Annex; or
                  through correlation with another type of opacimeter for which the effective length is known.
               
            
               
                  3.5.2
               
               
                  The relationship between the 0-100 linear scale and the light-absorption coefficient k is given by the formula
                  
                     
                  where N is a reading on the linear scale and k the corresponding value of the absorption coefficient.
               
            
               
                  3.5.3
               
               
                  The indicating dial of the opacimeter shall enable an absorption coefficient of 1,7 m -1 to be read with an accuracy of 0,025 m-1.
               
            3.6   Adjustment and calibration of the measuring apparatus
      
               
                  3.6.1
               
               
                  The electrical circuit of the photoelectric cell and of the indicating dial shall be adjustable so that the pointer can be reset at zero when the light flux passes through the smoke chamber filled with clean air or through a chamber having identical characteristics.
               
            
               
                  3.6.2
               
               
                  With the lamp switched off and the electrical measuring circuit open or short-circuited, the reading on the absorption-coefficient scale shall be ∞, and it shall remain at ∞ with the measuring circuit reconnected.
               
            
               
                  3.6.3
               
               
                  An intermediate check shall be carried out by placing in the smoke chamber a screen representing a gas whose known light-absorption coefficient k, measured as described in paragraph 3.5.1, is between 1,6 m-1 and 1,8 m-1. The value of k must be known to within 0,025 m-1.
                  The check consists in verifying that this value does not differ by more than 0,05 m-1 from that read on the opacimeter indicating dial when the screen is introduced between the source of light and the photoelectric cell.
               
            3.7   Opacimeter response
      
               
                  3.7.1
               
               
                  The response time of the electrical measuring circuit, being the time necessary for the indicating dial to reach 90 % of full-scale deflection on insertion of a screen fully obscuring the photoelectric cell, shall be 0,9 to 1,1 seconds.
               
            
               
                  3.7.2
               
               
                  The damping of the electrical measuring circuit shall be such that the initial overswing beyond the final steady reading after any momentary variation in input (e.g. the calibration screen) does not exceed 4 % of that reading in linear scale units.
               
            
               
                  3.7.3
               
               
                  The response time of the opacimeter which is due to physical phenomena in the smoke chamber is the time taken from the start of the gas entering the chamber to complete filling of the smoke chamber; it shall not exceed 0,4 seconds.
               
            
               
                  3.7.4
               
               
                  These provisions shall apply solely to opacimeters used to measure opacity under free acceleration.
               
            3.8   Pressure of the gas to be measured and of scavenging air
      
               
                  3.8.1
               
               
                  The pressure of the exhaust gas in the smoke chamber shall not differ by more than 75 mm (water gauge) from the atmospheric pressure.
               
            
               
                  3.8.2
               
               
                  The variations in the pressure of the gas to be measured and of the scavenging air shall not cause the absorption coefficient to vary by more than 0,05 m-1 in the case of a gas having an absorption coefficient of 1,7 m-1.
               
            
               
                  3.8.3
               
               
                  The opacimeter shall be equipped with appropriate devices for measuring the pressure in the smoke chamber.
               
            
               
                  3.8.4
               
               
                  The limits of pressure variation of gas and scavenging air in the smoke chamber shall be stated by the manufacturer of the apparatus.
               
            3.9   Temperature of the gas to be measured
      
               
                  3.9.1
               
               
                  At every point in the smoke chamber the gas temperature at the instant of measurement shall be between 70 oC and a maximum temperature specified by the opacimeter manufacturer such that the readings over the temperature range do not vary by more than 0,1 m-1 when the chamber is filled with a gas having an absorption coefficient of 1,7 m-1 .
               
            
               
                  3.9.2
               
               
                  The opacimeter shall be equipped with appropriate devices for measuring the temperature in the smoke chamber.
               
            4.   EFFECTIVE LENGTH ‘L’ OF THE OPACIMETER
      4.1   General
      
               
                  4.1.1
               
               
                  In some types of opacimeter the gas between the light source and the photoelectric cell, or between transparent parts protecting the source and the photoelectric cell, is not of constant opacity. In such cases the effective length L shall be that of a column of gas of uniform opacity which gives the same absorption of light as that obtained when the gas is normally admitted into the opacimeter.
               
            
               
                  4.1.2
               
               
                  The effective length of the light path is obtained by comparing the reading N of the opacimeter operating normally with the reading No obtained with the opacimeter modified so that the test gas fills a well defined length Lo .
               
            
               
                  4.1.3
               
               
                  It will be necessary to take comparative readings in quick succession to determine the correction to be made for shifts of zero.
               
            4.2   Method of assessment of L
      
               
                  4.2.1
               
               
                  The test gas shall be exhaust gas of constant opacity or a light-absorptive gas of a gravimetric density similar to that of exhaust gas.
               
            
               
                  4.2.2
               
               
                  A column of length Lo of the opacimeter, which can be filled uniformly with the test gas, and the ends of which are substantially at right angles to the light path, shall be accurately determined. This length Lo shall be close to the effective length of the opacimeter.

      ANNEX 9
      INSTALLATION AND USE OF THE OPACIMETER
      1.   SCOPE
      This Annex specifies the installation and use of opacimeters for the tests described in Annexes 4 and 5 to this Regulation.
      2.   SAMPLING OPACIMETER
      2.1   Installation for steady-speed tests
      
               
                  2.1.1
               
               
                  The ratio of the cross-sectional area of the probe to that of the exhaust pipe shall not be less than 0,05. The back pressure measured in the exhaust pipe at the opening of the probe shall not exceed 75 mm (water gauge).
               
            
               
                  2.1.2
               
               
                  The probe shall be a tube with an open end facing forwards in the axis of the exhaust pipe, or of the extension pipe if one is required. It shall be situated in a section where the distribution of smoke is approximately uniform. To achieve this, the probe shall be placed as far downstream in the exhaust pipe as possible, or, if necessary, in an extension pipe so that, if D is the diameter of the exhaust pipe at the opening, the end of the probe is situated in a straight portion at least 6 D in length upstream of the sampling point and 3 D in length downstream. If an extension pipe is used, no air shall be allowed to enter the joint.
               
            
               
                  2.1.3
               
               
                  The pressure in the exhaust pipe and the characteristics of the pressure drop in the sampling line shall be such that the probe collects a sample sensibly equivalent to that which would be obtained by isokinetic sampling.
               
            
               
                  2.1.4
               
               
                  If necessary, an expansion tank of compact design and of sufficient capacity to damp the pulsations may be incorporated in the sampling line as near to the probe as possible. A cooler may also be fitted. The design of the expansion tank and cooler shall not unduly disturb the composition of the exhaust gas.
               
            
               
                  2.1.5
               
               
                  A butterfly valve or other means of increasing the sampling pressure may be placed in the exhaust pipe at least three 3 D downstream from the sampling probe.
               
            
               
                  2.1.6
               
               
                  The connecting pipes between the probe, the cooling device, the expansion tank (if required) and the opacimeter shall be as short as is possible while satisfying the pressure and temperature requirements prescribed in Annex 8(3.8) and (3.9). The pipe shall be inclined upwards from the sampling point to the opacimeter, and sharp bends where soot might accumulate shall be avoided. If not embodied in the opacimeter, a by-pass valve shall be provided upstream.
               
            
               
                  2.1.7
               
               
                  A check shall be carried out during the test to ensure that the requirements of Annex 8(3.8), concerning pressure and those of Annex 8(3.9), concerning the temperature in the measuring chamber are observed.
               
            2.2   Installation for tests under free acceleration
      
               
                  2.2.1
               
               
                  The ratio of the cross-sectional area of the probe to that of the exhaust pipe shall not be less than 0,05. The back pressure measured in the exhaust pipe at the opening of the probe shall not exceed 75 mm (water gauge).
               
            
               
                  2.2.2
               
               
                  The probe shall be a tube with an open end facing forwards in the axis of the exhaust pipe, or of the extension pipe if one is required. It shall be situated in a section where the distribution of smoke is approximately uniform. To achieve this, the probe shall be placed as far downstream in the exhaust pipe as possible or, if necessary, in an extension pipe so that, if D is the diameter of the exhaust pipe at the opening, the end of the probe is situated in a straight portion at least 6 D in length upstream of the sampling point and 3 D in length downstream. If an extension pipe is used, no air shall be allowed to enter the joint.
               
            
               
                  2.2.3
               
               
                  The sampling system shall be such that at all engine speeds the pressure of the sample at the opacimeter is within the limits specified in Annex 8(3.8.2). This may be checked by noting the sample pressure at engine idling and maximum no-load speeds. Depending on the characteristics of the opacimeter, control of sample pressure can be achieved by a fixed restriction or butterfly valve in the exhaust pipe or extension pipe.
                  Whichever method is used, the back pressure measured in the exhaust pipe at the opening of the probe shall not exceed 75 mm (water gauge).
               
            
               
                  2.2.4
               
               
                  The pipes connecting with the opacimeter shall also be as short as possible. The pipe shall be inclined upwards from the sampling point to the opacimeter, and sharp bends where soot might accumulate shall be avoided. A by-pass valve may be provided upstream of the opacimeter to isolate it from the exhaust-gas flow when no measurement is being made.
               
            3.   FULL-FLOW OPACIMETER
      The only general precautions to be observed in steady-speed and free-acceleration tests are the following:
      
               
                  3.1
               
               
                  Joints in the connecting pipes between the exhaust pipe and the opacimeter shall not allow air to enter from outside.
               
            
               
                  3.2
               
               
                  The pipes connecting with the opacimeter shall be as short as possible, as prescribed in the case of sampling opacimeters. The pipe system shall be inclined upwards from the exhaust pipe to the opacimeter, and sharp bends where soot might accumulate shall be avoided. A by-pass valve may be provided upstream of the opacimeter to isolate it from the exhaust-gas flow when no measurement is being made.
               
            
               
                  3.3
               
               
                  A cooling system may also be required upstream of the opacimeter.

                  The temperature of the coolant at the outlet from the engine shall be kept within ± 5 K, from the upper thermostatically-controlled temperature specified by the manufacturer. If no temperature is specified by the manufacturer, the temperature shall be 353 K ± 5 K. For air-cooled engines, the temperature at a point indicated by the manufacturer shall be kept within — 20 °K of the maximum value specified by the manufacturer in the reference conditions.

            5.4   Test procedure
      Measurements shall be taken at a sufficient number of engine speeds to define correctly the power curve between the lowest and the highest engine speeds recommended by the manufacturer. This range of speeds must include the speed of revolution at which the engine produces its maximum power. The average of at least two stabilised measurements is to be determined.
      5.5   Data to be recorded
      Data to be recorded are those indicated in the appendix to this Annex.
      6.   POWER CORRECTION FACTORS
      6.1   Definition
      The power correction factor is the coefficient α by which the measured power must be multiplied to determine the engine power under the reference atmospheric conditions specified in paragraph 6.2.
      Po = α P
      where
      Po is the corrected power (i.e. power under reference atmospheric conditions)
      α is the correction factor (αa or αd)
      P is the measured power (test power).
      6.2   Reference atmospheric conditions
      
               
                  6.2.1
               
               
                  Temperature (To): 298 K (25 °C)
               
            
               
                  6.2.2
               
               
                  Dry pressure (Pso): 99 kPa
                  
                     Note: The dry pressure is based on a total pressure of 100 kPa and a water vapour pressure of 1 kPa.
               
            6.3   Test atmospheric conditions
      The atmospheric conditions during the test shall be the following:
      6.3.1   Temperature (T)
      For positive-ignition engines 288 K ≤ T ≤ 308 K
      For diesel engines 283 K ≤ T ≤ 313 K
      6.3.2   Pressure (Ps)
      80 kPa ≤ Ps ≤ 110 kPa
      6.4   Determination of correction factor αa and αd
          (15)
      
      6.4.1   Naturally aspirated or supercharged positive-ignition engine — Factor αa:
      The correction factor αa is obtained by applying the formula:
      
         
       (16)
      where:
      Ps is the total dry atmospheric pressure in kilopascals (kPa); that is to say, the total barometric pressure minus water vapour pressure:
      T is the absolute temperature in Kelvins (K) of the air drawn in by the engine.
      Conditions to be complied with in the laboratory
      For a test to be valid, the correction factor αa must be such that 0,93 ≤ αa ≤ 1,07.
      If these limits are exceeded, the corrected value obtained shall be given and the test conditions (temperature and pressure) precisely stated in the test report.
      6.4.2   Diesel engines — Factor αd:
      The power correction factor (αd) for diesel engines at constant fuel rate is obtained by applying the formula:
      
         αd
          = (fa
         ) 
            fm
         
      
      where:
      fa is the atmospheric factor;
      fm is the characteristic parameter for each type of engine and adjustment.
      6.4.2.1   Atmospheric factor fa
      
      This factor indicates the effects of environmental conditions (pressure, temperature and humidity) on the air drawn in by the engine.
      The atmospheric factor formula differs according to the type of engines.
      
               
                  6.4.2.1.1
               
               
                  Naturally aspirated and mechanically supercharged engines

                  Turbocharged engines with or without cooling of inlet air
                  
                     
               
            
               
                  6.4.2.2
               
               
                  Engine factor fm
                  
                  fm is a function of qc (fuel flow corrected) as follows:
                  fm = 0,036 qc - 1,14
                  where:
                  qc = q/r
                  where:
                  ‘q’ is the fuel flow in milligramme per cycle per litre of total swept volume (mg/(l. cycle)).
                  ‘r’ is the pressure ratio of compressor outlet and compressor inlet (r = 1 for naturally aspirated engines)
                  This formula is valid for a value interval of qc included between 40 mg/(l. cycle) and 65 mg/(l. cycle).
                  For qc values lower than 40 mg/(l. cycle), a constant value of fm equal to 0,3 (fm = 0,3) will be taken.
                  For qc values higher than 65 mg/(l. cycle), a constant value of fm equal to 1,2 (fm = 1,2) will be taken (see the figure below):
                  
                     
               
            6.4.2.3   Conditions to be complied with in the laboratory
      For a test to be valid, the correction factor αd must be such that 0,9 ≤ αd ≤ 1,1.
      If these limits are exceeded, the corrected value obtained shall be given and the test conditions (temperature and pressure) precisely stated in the test report.
      7.   TEST REPORT
      The test report shall contain the results and all the calculations required to find the net power, as listed in the appendix to this Annex, together with the characteristics of the engine listed in Annex 1 to this Regulation
      8.   MODIFICATION OF ENGINE TYPE
      Any modification of the engine with regard to the characteristics listed in Annex 1 to this Regulation must be reported to the competent administration. That administration may then either:

                  Consider that the modifications made are not liable to have any substantial effect on the power of the engine, or
               
            
               
                  8.2.
               
               
                  Request a further determination of the engine power through the carrying-out of such tests as are deemed necessary.

         (3)  The complete intake system shall be fitted as provided for the intended application:
      
                   
               
               
                  Where there is a risk of an appreciable effect on the engine power
               
            
                   
               
               
                  In the case of two-stroke and positive-ignition engines
               
            
                   
               
               
                  When the manufacturer requests that this should be done.
               
            In other cases, an equivalent system may be used and a check should be made to ascertain that the intake pressure does not differ by more than 100 Pa from the limit specified by the manufacturer for a clean air filter.
      
         (4)  The complete exhaust system shall be fitted as provided for the intended application:
      
                   
               
               
                  Where there is a risk of an appreciable effect on the engine power

                  When the manufacturer requests that this should be done.
               
            In other cases, an equivalent system may be installed provided the pressure measured at the exit of the engine exhaust system does not differ by more than 1 000 Pa from that specified by the manufacturer.
      
         (5)  The exit from the engine exhaust system is defined as a point 150 mm downstream from the termination of the part of the exhaust system mounted on the engine
      
         (6)  If an exhaust brake is incorporated in the engine, the throttle valve must be fixed in a fully open positionThe fuel feed pressure may be adjusted, if necessary, to reproduce the pressures existing in the particular engine application (particularly when a ‘fuel return’ system is used).
      
         (7)  The air intake valve is the control valve for the pneumatic governor of the injection pump. The governor of the fuel injection equipment may contain other devices which may affect the amount of injected fuel
      
         (8)  The radiator, the fan, the fan cowl, the water pump and the thermostat shall be located on the test bench in the same relative positions as on the vehicle. The cooling liquid circulation shall be operated by the engine water pump only.
      Cooling of the liquid may be produced either by the engine radiator or by an external circuit, provided that the pressure loss of this circuit and the pressure at the pump inlet remain substantially the same as those of the engine cooling system. The radiator shutter, if incorporated, shall be in the open position.
      Where the fan, radiator and cowl system cannot conveniently be fitted to the engine, the power absorbed by the fan when separately mounted in its correct position in relation to the radiator and cowl (if used), must be determined at the speeds corresponding to the engine speeds used for measurement of the engine power either by calculation from standard characteristics or by practical tests. This power, corrected to the standard atmospheric conditions defined in paragraph 6.2, should be deducted from the corrected power.
      
         (9)  Where a disconnectable or progressive fan or blower is incorporated, the test shall be made with the disconnectable Fan (or blower) disconnected or with the progressive fan or blower running at maximum slip.
      
         (10)  The thermostat may be fixed in the fully open position.
      
         (11)  Minimum power of the generators the power of the generator shall be limited to that necessary for the operation of accessories which are indispensable for the operation of the engine. If the connection of a battery is necessary, a fully charged battery in good order must be used
      
         (12)  Charge air-cooled engines shall be tested with charge air cooling, whether liquid- or air-cooled, but if the engine manufacturer prefers, a test bench system may replace the air-cooled cooler. In either case, the measurement of power at each speed shall be made with the same pressure drop and temperature drop of the engine air across the charge air cooler on the test bench system as those specified by the manufacturer for the system on the complete vehicle
      
         (13)  They may include, for example, EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) system, catalytic convertor, thermal reactor, secondary air supply system and fuel evaporation protecting system.
      
         (14)  European Coordinating Council for the Development of Performance Tests for Lubricants and Engine Fuels.
      
         (15)  The tests may be carried out in air-conditioned test rooms where the atmospheric conditions may be controlled.
      
         (16)  In the case of engines fitted with automatic air temperature control, if the device is such that at full load at 25 °C no heated air is added, the test shall be carried out with the device fully closed. If the device is still operating at 25 °C then the test is made with the device-operating normally and the exponent of the temperature term in the correction factor shall be taken as zero (no temperature correction).
