Regulation No 101 of the Economic Commission for Europe of the United Nations (UN/ECE) - Uniform provisions concerning the approval of passenger cars equipped with an internal combustion engine with regard to the measurement of the emission of carbon dioxide and fuel consumption and of categories M1 and N1 vehicles equipped with an electric power train with regard to the measurement of electric energy consumption and range(1)1. SCOPEThis Regulation applies to the measurement of the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) and fuel consumption from all motor vehicles of M1 category vehicles, or to the measurement of electric energy consumption and range of categories M1 and N1 vehicles(2).2. DEFINITIONSFor the purposes of this Regulation,2.1. "Approval of a vehicle" means the approval of a vehicle type with regard to the measurement of energy consumption (fuel or electric energy).2.2. "Vehicle type" means a category of power driven vehicles which do not differ in such essential respects as body, drive train, transmission, traction battery (if applicable), tyres and unladen mass.2.3. "Unladen mass" means the mass of the vehicle in running order without crew, passengers or load, but with the fuel tank full (if any), cooling liquid, service and traction batteries, oils, onboard charger, portable charger, tools and spare wheel, whatever is appropriate for the vehicle considered and if provided by the manufacturer of the vehicle.2.4. "Reference mass" means the unladen mass of the vehicle increased by a uniform figure of 100 kg.2.5. "Maximum mass" means the technically permissible maximum mass declared by the manufacturer (this mass may be greater than the maximum mass authorized by the national administration).2.6. "Test mass" for the pure electric vehicles means the "reference mass" for the category M1 vehicles and the unladen mass plus half the full load for the category N1 vehicles.2.7. "Cold start device" means a device, which enriches the air/fuel mixture of the engine temporarily, to assist starting.2.8. "Starting aid" means a device which assists engine starting without enrichment of the air/fuel mixture, e.g. glow plug, changed injection timing, etc.2.9. "Drive train" means the combination of an electric motor and a power controller.2.10. "Power train" means the combination of a drive train and a traction battery.2.11. "Periodically regenerating system" means an anti-pollution device (e.g. catalytic converter, particulate trap) that requires a periodical regeneration process in less than 4000 km of normal vehicle operation. If a regeneration of an anti-pollution device occurs at least once per Type I test and has already regenerated at least once during the vehicle preparation cycle, it will be considered as a continuously regenerating system, which does not require a special test procedure. Annex 8 does not apply to continuously regenerating systems.At the request of the manufacturer, the test procedure specific to periodically regenerating systems will not apply to a regenerative device if the manufacturer provides data to the type approval authority that, during cycles where regeneration occurs, emission of CO2 does not exceed the declared value by more than 4 per cent after agreement of the technical service.3. APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL3.1. The application for approval of a vehicle type with regard to the measurement of the emission of carbon dioxide and fuel consumption or to the measurement of electric energy consumption shall be submitted by the vehicle manufacturer or by his duly accredited representative.3.2. It shall be accompanied by the under-mentioned documents in triplicate and the following particulars:3.2.1. A description of the internal combustion engine type or the electric power train type comprising all the particulars referred to in annex 1 or annex 2. At the request of the technical service in charge of the tests or the manufacturer, complementary technical information could be considered for specific vehicles, which are particularly fuel efficient.3.2.2. Description of the basic features of the vehicle, including those used in drafting annex 3.3.3. A vehicle, representative of the vehicle type to be approved, shall be submitted to the technical services responsible for conducting approval tests. During the test, the technical service will check that this vehicle, if equipped with an internal combustion engine, conforms to the limit values applicable to that type, as described in Regulation No 83.3.4. The competent authority shall verify the existence of satisfactory provisions to ensure an effective check of conformity of production before approval of the vehicle type is granted.4. APPROVAL4.1. If the emissions of CO2 and fuel consumption of internal combustion engine or the electric energy consumption of the vehicle type submitted for approval pursuant to this Regulation have been measured according to the conditions specified in paragraph 5 below, approval of that vehicle type shall be granted.4.2. An approval number shall be assigned to each type approved. Its first two digits (at present 00 for the Regulation in its original form) shall indicate the series of amendments incorporating the most recent major technical amendments made to the Regulation at the time of issue of the approval. The same Contracting Party shall not assign the same number to another vehicle type.4.3. Notice of approval or of extension or refusal of approval of a vehicle type pursuant to this Regulation shall be communicated to the Parties to the 1958 Agreement applying this Regulation by means of a form conforming to the model in annex 3 to this Regulation.4.4. There shall be affixed, conspicuously and in a readily accessible place specified on the approval form, to every vehicle conforming to a vehicle type approved under this Regulation, an international approval mark consisting of:4.4.1. a circle surrounding the letter "E" followed by the distinguishing number of the country which has granted approval(3);4.4.2. the number of this Regulation, followed by the letter "R", a dash and the approval number to the right of the circle prescribed in paragraph 4.4.1.4.5. If the vehicle conforms to a vehicle type approved under one or more other Regulations annexed to the Agreement, in the country which has granted approval under this Regulation, the symbol prescribed in paragraph 4.4.1 need not be repeated; in such a case, the Regulation and approval numbers and the additional symbols of all the Regulations under which approval has been granted in the country which has granted approval under this Regulation shall be placed in vertical columns to the right of the symbol prescribed in paragraph 4.4.1.4.6. The approval mark shall be clearly legible and be indelible.4.7. The approval mark shall be placed close to or on the vehicle data plate.4.8. Annex 4 to this Regulation gives examples of arrangements of the approval mark.5. SPECIFICATIONS AND TESTS5.1. GeneralThe components liable to affect the emissions of CO2 and fuel consumption or the electric energy consumption shall be so designed, constructed and assembled as to enable the vehicle, in normal use, despite the vibrations to which it may be subjected, to comply with the provisions of this Regulation.5.2. Description of tests for internal combustion engines5.2.1. The emissions of CO2 shall be measured during the test cycle simulating the urban and extra-urban driving patterns as described in appendix 1 of annex 4 to Regulation No. 83, in force at the time of the approval of the vehicle.5.2.2. The results of the test must be expressed as CO2 emissions in grams per kilometre (g/km) rounded to the nearest whole number.5.2.3. Fuel consumptions are calculated according to paragraph 1.5 of annex 4 by the carbon balance method using the measured emissions of CO2 and the other carbon related emissions (CO and HC). The results will be rounded to the first decimal place.5.2.4. The appropriate reference fuels as defined in annex 10 to Regulation No 83 must be used for testing.For LPG and natural gas (NG) that reference fuel must be used which is chosen by the manufacturer for the measurement of the net power in accordance with Regulation No 85. The chosen fuel must be specified in the communication document as defined in annex 3 to this Regulation.For the purpose of calculation mentioned in paragraph 5.2.3, the fuel consumption shall be expressed in appropriate units and the following fuel characteristics shall be used:(a) density: measured on the test fuel according to ISO 3675 or an equivalent method.For petrol and diesel fuel the density measured at 15 °C will be used; for LPG and natural gas a reference density will be used, as follows:0,538 kg/litre for LPG0,654 kg/m3 for NG(4)(b) hydrogen-carbon ratio: fixed values will be used which are:1,85 for petrol1,86 for diesel fuel2,525 for LPG4,00 for NG5.3. Description of tests for pure electric vehicles5.3.1. The technical service in charge of the tests conducts the measurement of the electric energy consumption according to the method and test cycle described in annex 6 to this Regulation.5.3.2. The technical service in charge of the tests conducts the measurement of the range of the vehicle according to the method described in annex 7.The range measured by this method is the only one which may be included in sales promotional material.5.3.3. The result of the electric energy consumption must be expressed in Watt hours per kilometer (Wh/km) and the range in km, both rounded to the nearest whole number.5.4. Interpretation of results5.4.1. The CO2 value or the value of electric energy consumption adopted as the type approval value shall be the value declared by the manufacturer if the value measured by the technical service does not exceed the declared value by more than 4 per cent. The measured value can be lower without any limitations.In the case of periodically regenerating systems as defined in paragraph 2.11, the results are multiplied by the factor Ki obtained from annex 8 before being compared to the declared value.5.4.2. If the measured value of CO2 or electric energy consumption exceeds the manufacturer's declared CO2 or electric energy consumption value by more than 4 per cent, then another test is run on the same vehicle.When the average of the two test results does not exceed the manufacturer's declared value by more than 4 per cent, then the value declared by the manufacturer is taken as the type approval value.5.4.3. If the average still exceeds the declared value by more than 4 per cent, a final test is run on the same vehicle. The average of the three test results is taken as the type approval value.6. MODIFICATION AND EXTENSION OF APPROVAL OF THE APPROVED TYPE6.1. Every modification of the approved type shall be notified to the administrative department, which approved the type. The department may then either:6.1.1. Consider that the modifications made are unlikely to have an appreciable adverse effect on the values of CO2 and fuel consumption or electric energy consumption and that, in this case, the original approval will be valid for the modified vehicle type; or6.1.2. require a further test report from the technical service responsible for conducting the tests according to conditions in paragraph 7 of this Regulation.6.2. Confirmation or extension of approval, specifying the alterations, shall be communicated by the procedure specified in paragraph 4.3 to the Parties to the 1958 Agreement applying this Regulation.6.3. The competent authority which grants the extension of the approval shall assign a series number for such an extension and inform thereof the other Parties to the 1958 Agreement applying this Regulation by means of a communication form conforming to the model in annex 3 to this Regulation.7. CONDITIONS OF EXTENSION OF THE TYPE APPROVAL FOR VEHICLE TYPE7.1. Vehicles powered by an internal combustion engine, except vehicles equipped with a periodically regenerating emission control systemThe type approval can be extended to vehicles from the same type or from a different type differing with regard to the following characteristics of annex 2 if the CO2 emissions measured by the technical service do not exceed by more than 4 per cent the type approved value:7.1.1. Mass7.1.2. Maximum authorized mass7.1.3. Type of bodywork: saloon, estate, coupé7.1.4. Overall gear ratios7.1.5. Engine equipment and accessories7.2. Vehicles powered by an internal combustion engine and equipped with a periodically regenerating emission control systemThe type approval can be extended to vehicles from the same type or from a different type, differing with regard to the characteristics of annex 3, given in paragraphs 7.1.1 to 7.1.5 above, but not exceeding the family characteristics of annex 8, if the CO2 emissions measured by the technical service do not exceed by more than 4 per cent the type approved value, and where the same Ki factor is applicable.The type approval can be extended also to vehicles from the same type, but with a different Ki factor, if the corrected CO2 value measured by the technical service does not exceed by more than 4 per cent the type approved value.7.3. Vehicles powered by an electric power trainExtensions may be granted after agreement with the technical service responsible for conducting the tests.8. SPECIAL PROVISIONSIn the future, vehicles with special energy efficient technologies may be offered which could be submitted to complementary testing programmes. These would be specified at a later stage, which can be claimed by the manufacturer in order to demonstrate the advantages of the solution.9. CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION9.1. Vehicles approved to this Regulation shall be so manufactured as to conform to the type approved vehicle.9.2. So as to verify that the conditions set out in paragraph 9.1 are complied with, appropriate production checks shall be carried out.9.3. Vehicles powered by an internal combustion engine:9.3.1. As a general rule, measures to ensure the conformity of production with regard to CO2 emissions from vehicles is checked on the basis of the description in the type approval certificate conforming to the model in annex 3 of this Regulation.The control of production conformity is based on an assessment made by the competent authority of the manufacturer's auditing procedure in order to ensure conformity of the vehicle type with respect to the emission of pollutants.If the authority is not satisfied with the standard of the manufacturer's auditing procedure, they may require that verification tests be carried out on vehicles in production.9.3.1.1. If a measurement of the emissions of CO2 must be carried out on a vehicle type that has had one or several extensions, the tests will be carried out on the vehicle(s) available at the time of the test (vehicle(s) described in the first document or in subsequent extensions).9.3.1.1.1. Conformity of the vehicle for the CO2 test.9.3.1.1.1.1. Three vehicles are randomly taken in the series and are tested as described in paragraph 1.4 of annex 5.9.3.1.1.1.2. If the authority is satisfied with the production standard deviation given by the manufacturer, the tests are carried out according to paragraph 9.2.If the authority is not satisfied with the production standard deviation given by the manufacturer, the tests are carried out according to paragraph 9.3.9.3.1.1.1.3. The production of a series is regarded as conforming or non-conforming, on the basis of tests on the three sampled vehicles, once a pass or fail decision is reached for CO2, according to the test criteria applied in the appropriate table.If no pass or fail decision is reached for CO2, a test is carried out on an additional vehicle (see Figure 1).9.3.1.1.1.4. In the case of periodically regenerating systems as defined in paragraph 2.11., the results shall be multiplied by the factor Ki obtained by the procedure specified in annex 8 at the time when type approval was granted.At the request of the manufacturer, testing may be carried out immediately after a regeneration has been completed.9.3.1.1.2. Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraph 1.1.1 of annex 5, the tests will be carried out on vehicles which have not travelled any distance.9.3.1.1.2.1. However, at the request of the manufacturer, the tests will be carried out on vehicles which have been run-in a maximum of 15000 km.In this case, the running-in procedure will be conducted by the manufacturer who shall undertake not to make any adjustments to those vehicles.Figure 1>PIC FILE= "L_2004095EN.009501.TIF">9.3.1.1.2.2. If the manufacturer asks to conduct a running-in procedure ("x" km, where &lt;= 15000 km), it may be carried out as follows:- the emissions of CO2 will be measured at zero and at "x" km on the first tested vehicle (which can be the type approval vehicle);- the evolution coefficient (EC) of the emissions between zero and "x" km will be calculated as follows:>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>It may be less than 1.- The following vehicles will not be subjected to the running-in procedure, but their zero km emissions will be modified by the evolution coefficient, EC.In this case, the values to be taken will be:- the value at "x" km for the first vehicle;- the values at zero km multiplied by the evolution coefficient for the following vehicles.9.3.1.1.2.3. As an alternative to this procedure, the car manufacturer can use a fixed evolution coefficient, EC, of 0,92 and multiply all values of CO2 measured at zero km by this factor.9.3.1.1.2.4. The reference fuels described in annex 9 of Regulation No 83 shall be used for this test.9.3.2. Conformity of production when manufacturer's statistical data is available.9.3.2.1. The following sections describe the procedure to be used to verify the CO2 conformity of production requirements when the manufacturer's production standard deviation is satisfactory.9.3.2.2. With a minimum sample size of three, the sampling procedure is set so that the probability of a lot passing a test with 40 per cent of the production defective is 0,95 (producer's risk = 5 per cent) while the probability of a lot being accepted with 65 per cent of the production defective is 0,1 (consumer's risk = 10 per cent).9.3.2.3. The following procedure is used (see Figure 1).Let L be the natural logarithm of the CO2 type approval value:xi= the natural logarithm of the measurement for the i-th vehicle of the sample;s= an estimate of the production standard deviation (after taking the natural logarithm of the measurements);n= the current sample number.9.3.2.4. Compute for the sample, the test statistic quantifying the sum of the standardized deviations to the limit and defined as:>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>9.3.2.5. Then:9.3.2.5.1. if the test statistic is greater than the pass decision number for the sample given in Table 1, a pass decision is reached;9.3.2.5.2. if the test statistic is less than the fail decision number for the sample size given in Table 1, a fail decision is reached;9.3.2.5.3. otherwise, an additional vehicle is tested according to paragraph 1.4 of annex 5 and the procedure is applied to the sample with one unit more.Table 1>TABLE>9.3.3. Conformity of production when manufacturer's statistical data is unsatisfactory or unavailable.9.3.3.1. The following sections describe the procedure to be used to verify the CO2 conformity of production requirements when the manufacturer's evidence of production standard deviation is either unsatisfactory or unavailable.9.3.3.2. With a minimum sample size of three the sampling procedure is set so that the probability of a lot passing a test with 40 per cent of the production defective is 0,95 (producer's risk = 5 per cent) while the probability of a lot being accepted with 65 per cent of the production defective is 0,1 (consumer's risk = 10 per cent).9.3.3.3. The measurement of CO2 is considered to be log-normally distributed and should first be transformed by taking the natural logarithms. Let mo and m denote the minimum and maximum sample sizes respectively (mo = 3 and m = 32) and let n denote the current sample number.9.3.3.4. If the natural logarithms of the measurements in the series are x1, x2, ..., xj and L is the natural logarithm of the CO2 type approval value, then define:>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>9.3.3.5. Table 2 shows values of the pass (An) and fail (Bn) decision numbers against current sample number. The test statistic is the ratio dn/vn and shall be used to determine whether the series has passed or failed as follows:for mo &lt;= n &lt;= m:9.3.3.5.1. pass the series if dn/vn &lt;= An;9.3.3.5.2. fail the series if dn/vn &gt;= Bn;9.3.3.5.3. take another measurement if An &lt;  dn/vn &lt;  Bn.9.3.3.6. RemarksThe following recursive formulae are useful for computing successive values of the test statistic:>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>9.4. Vehicles powered by an electric power train:As a general rule, measures to ensure the conformity of production with regard to electric energy consumption is checked on the basis of the description in the type approval certificate set out in annex 3 to this Regulation.9.4.1. The holder of the approval shall, in particular:9.4.1.1. Ensure the existence of procedures for the effective control of product quality;9.4.1.2. Have access to the equipment necessary for checking conformity with each approved type;9.4.1.3. Ensure that the data concerning the test results are recorded and that the annexed documents are available during a period to be agreed with the administrative service;9.4.1.4. Analyze the results of each type of test so as to monitor and ensure the consistency of the characteristics of the product, taking into account the variations admissible in industrial manufacture;9.4.1.5. Make sure that for each type of vehicle tests prescribed in annex 6 to this Regulation are carried out; notwithstanding the requirements of paragraph 2.3.1.6 of annex 6, at the request of the manufacturer, the tests will be carried out on vehicles which have not travelled any distance;9.4.1.6. Make sure that any collections of samples or test pieces demonstrating non-conformity with the type of test under consideration is followed by a subsequent sampling and a further test. All necessary steps shall be taken to re-establish the conformity of production.9.4.2. The competent authorities issuing the approval may verify at any time the methods applied in each production unit.9.4.2.1. In every inspection, the records of tests and production monitoring shall be communicated to the visiting inspector.9.4.2.2. The inspector may select at random the samples to be tested in the manufacturer's laboratory. The minimum number of samples may be determined on the basis of the results of the manufacturer's own checks.9.4.2.3. When the quality standard does not seem satisfactory or when it seems necessary to verify the validity of the tests conducted under paragraph 9.4.2.2, the inspector shall collect samples to be sent to the technical service which carried out the approval tests.9.4.2.4. The competent authorities may carry out all the tests prescribed in this Regulation.9.4.2.5. If, during inspections, negative results are observed, the competent authority shall ensure that all necessary steps are taken to re-establish conformity of production as soon as possible.Table 2>TABLE>10. PENALTIES FOR NON-CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION10.1. The approval granted in respect of a vehicle type pursuant to this Regulation may be withdrawn if the requirements laid down in paragraph 9.1 are not complied with.10.2. If a Party to the 1958 Agreement which applies this Regulation withdraws an approval it has previously granted, it shall forthwith so notify the other Contracting Parties applying this Regulation, by means of a communication form conforming to the model in annex 3 of this Regulation.11. PRODUCTION DEFINITELY DISCONTINUEDIf the holder of the approval completely ceases to manufacture a type of vehicle approved in accordance with this Regulation, he shall so inform the authority which granted the approval. Upon receiving the relevant communication, that authority shall inform thereof the other Parties to the 1958 Agreement applying this Regulation by means of a communication form conforming to the model in annex 3 to this Regulation.12.

TEST CONDITIONS1.1. General condition of the vehicle1.1.1. The vehicle shall have been run-in and shall have been driven for at least 3000 km but less than 15000 km before the test.1.1.2. The settings of the engine and of the vehicle's controls shall be those prescribed by the manufacturer. This requirement also applies, in particular, to the idle settings (rotation speed and carbon monoxide (CO) content of the exhaust gases), to the cold start device and to the exhaust gas pollutant emission control system.1.1.3. The laboratory may check the tightness of the inlet system to ensure that carburation is not affected by accidental intake of air.1.1.4. The laboratory may check that vehicle performance is as specified by the manufacturer and that it is possible to use it in normal driving conditions, particularly cold and hot starts.1.1.5. Before the test, the vehicle shall be stored in a room where the temperature remains relatively constant between 20 and 30 °C. This conditioning shall be carried out for at least six hours and shall continue until the engine oil temperature and coolant, if any, have reached the temperature of the room to within 2 °C. At the request of the manufacturer, the test shall be carried out not later than 30 hours after the vehicle has been run at its normal temperature.At the request of the manufacturer, vehicles with positive-ignition engines may be preconditioned according to the procedure prescribed in paragraph 5.2.1 of annex 7 to Regulation No 83 in force at the time of the approval of the vehicle.1.1.6. Only the equipment necessary for the operation of the vehicle during the test shall be in use. If there is a manually controlled device for the engine intake air temperature, it shall be in the position prescribed by the manufacturer for the ambient temperature at which the test is performed. In general, the auxiliary devices required for the normal operation of the vehicle shall be in use.1.1.7. If the radiator fan is temperature controlled, it shall be in the condition of normal operation on the vehicle. The passenger compartment heating system shall be switched off, as shall any air conditioning system, but such systems compressor shall be functioning normally.1.1.8.

OPERATION MODESThe test method includes the following steps:(a) Initial charge of the battery.(b) Application of the cycle and measurement of the range.Between the steps, if the vehicle shall move, it is pushed to the following test area (without regenerative recharging).4.1. Initial charge of the batteryCharging the battery consists of the following procedures:Note:"Initial charge of the battery" applies to the first charge of the battery, at the reception of the vehicle. In case of several combined tests or measurements, carried out consecutively, the first charge carried out shall be an "initial charge of the battery" and the following may be done in accordance with the "normal overnight charge" procedure.4.1.1. Discharge of the batteryThe procedure starts with the discharge of the battery of the vehicle while driving (on the test track, on a chassis dynamometer, etc.) at a steady speed of 70 % ± 5 % from the maximum thirty minutes speed of the vehicle.Stopping the discharge occurs:(a) when the vehicle is not able to run at 65 % of the maximum thirty minutes speed;(b) or when an indication to stop the vehicle is given to the driver by the standard on-board instrumentation, or;(c) after covering the distance of 100 km.4.1.2.

Application of the cycle and measurement of the rangeThe test sequence as defined in paragraph 1.1 of annex 6 is applied on a chassis dynamometer adjusted as described in appendix 1 of annex 6, until the end of the test criteria is reached.The end of the test criteria is when the vehicle is not able to meet the target curve up to 50 km/h, or when an indication from the standard on-board instrumentation is given to the driver to stop the vehicle.Then the vehicle shall be slowed down to 5 km/h by releasing the accelerator pedal, without touching the brake pedal and then stopped by braking.At a speed over 50 km/h, when the vehicle does not reach the required acceleration or speed of the test cycle, the accelerator pedal shall remain fully depressed until the reference curve has been reached again.To respect human needs, up to three interruptions are permitted between test sequences, of no more than 15 minutes in total.At the end, the measure D of the covered distance in km is the range of the electric vehicle. It shall be expressed to the nearest whole number.ANNEX 8EMISSIONS TEST PROCEDURE FOR A VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH A PERIODICALLY REGENERATING SYSTEM1. INTRODUCTION1.1. This annex defines the specific provisions regarding type-approval of a vehicle equipped with a periodically regenerating system as defined in paragraph 2.11 of this Regulation.2. SCOPE AND EXTENTION OF THE TYPE APPROVAL2.1. Vehicle family groups equipped with periodically regenerating systemThe procedure applies to vehicles equipped with a periodically regenerating system as defined in paragraph 2.11 of this Regulation. For the purpose of this annex vehicle family groups may be established. Accordingly, those vehicle types with regenerative systems, whose parameters described below are identical, or within the stated tolerances, shall be considered to belong to the same family with respect to measurements specific to the defined periodically regenerating systems.2.1.1. Identical parameters are:Engine:(a) number of cylinders,(b) engine capacity (± 15 per cent),(c) number of valves,(d) fuel system,(e) combustion process (2 stroke, 4 stroke, rotary).Periodically regenerating system (i.e. catalyst, particulate trap):(a) Construction (i.e. type of enclosure, type of precious metal, type of substrate, cell density),(b) Type and working principle,(c) Dosage and additive system,(d) Volume (± 10 per cent)(e) Location (temperature ± 50 °C at 120 km/h or 5 per cent difference of maximum temperature/pressure).2.2. Vehicle types of different reference massesThe Ki factor developed by the procedures in this annex for type approval of a vehicle type with a periodically regenerating system as defined in paragraph 2.11 of this Regulation, may be extended to other vehicles in the family group with a reference mass within the next two higher equivalent inertia classes or any lower equivalent inertia.2.3. Instead of carrying out the test procedures defined in the following section, a fixed Ki value of 1,05 may be used, if the technical service sees no reason that this value could be exceeded.3. TEST PROCEDUREThe vehicle may be equipped with a switch capable of preventing or permitting the regeneration process provided that this operation has no effect on original engine calibration. This switch shall be permitted only for the purpose of preventing regeneration during loading of the regeneration system and during the pre-conditioning cycles. However, it shall not be used during the measurement of emissions during the regeneration phase; rather the emission test shall be carried out with the unchanged Original Equipment Manufacturer's (OEM) control unit.3.1. Measurement of carbon dioxide emission and fuel consumption between two cycles where regenerative phases occur3.1.1. Average of carbon dioxide emission and fuel consumption between regeneration phases and during loading of the regenerative device shall be determined from the arithmetic mean of several approximately equidistant (if more than 2) Type I operating cycles or equivalent engine test bench cycles. As an alternative, the manufacturer may provide data to show that the carbon dioxide emission and fuel consumption remain constant ± 4 per cent between regeneration phases. In this case, the carbon dioxide emission and fuel consumption measured during the regular Type I test may be used. In any other case emissions measurement for at least two Type I operating cycles or equivalent engine test bench cycles must be completed: one immediately after regeneration (before new loading) and one as close as possible prior to a regeneration phase. All emissions measurements and calculations shall be carried out according to annex 5, paragraphs 1.4.3 and 1.5.3.1.2. The loading process and Ki determination shall be made during the Type I operating cycle, on a chassis dynamometer or on an engine test bench using an equivalent test cycle. These cycles may be run continuously (i.e. without the need to switch the engine off between cycles). After any number of completed cycles, the vehicle may be removed from the chassis dynamometer, and the test continued at a later time.3.1.3. The number of cycles (D) between two cycles where regeneration phases occur, the number of cycles over which emissions measurements are made (n), and each emissions measurement (M'sij) shall be reported in annex 1, items 1.2.11.2.1.10.1 or 1.2.11.2.1.10.4 to 1.2.11.2.5.4.1 to 1.2.11.2.5.4.4 as applicable.3.2. Measurement of carbon dioxide emission and fuel consumption during regeneration3.2.1. Preparation of the vehicle, if required, for the emissions test during a regeneration phase, may be completed using the preparation cycles in paragraph 5.3 of annex 4 of Regulation No 83 or equivalent engine test bench cycles, depending on the loading procedure chosen in paragraph 3.1.2 above.3.2.2. The test and vehicle conditions for the test described in annex 5 apply before the first valid emission test is carried out.3.2.3. Regeneration must not occur during the preparation of the vehicle. This may be ensured by one of the following methods:3.2.3.1. A "dummy" regenerating system or partial system may be fitted for the pre-conditioning cycles.3.2.3.2. Any other method agreed between the manufacturer and the type approval authority.3.2.4. A cold-start exhaust emission test including a regeneration process shall be performed according to the Type I operating cycle, or equivalent engine test bench cycle. If the emissions tests between two cycles where regeneration phases occur are carried out on an engine test bench, the emissions test including a regeneration phase shall also be carried out on an engine test bench.3.2.5. If the regeneration process requires more than one operating cycle, subsequent test cycle(s) shall be driven immediately, without switching the engine off, until complete regeneration has been achieved (each cycle shall be completed). The time necessary to set up a new test should be as short as possible (e.g. particular matter filter change). The engine must be switched off during this period.3.2.6. The carbon dioxide emission and fuel consumption values during regeneration (Mri) shall be calculated according to annex 5, paragraph 1.4.3 and 1.5. The number of operating cycles (d) measured for complete regeneration shall be recorded.3.3.
