4.1.   Introduction

4.1.1.

Where applicable the tests of types 1, 2, 3, 4, the test for OBD, the test for CO2 emissions and fuel consumption and the test for smoke opacity shall be performed, as described in section 2.4. The specific procedures for conformity of production are set out in the sections 4.2 to 4.10.

4.2.   Checking the conformity of the vehicle for a type 1 test

4.2.1.

The type 1 test shall be carried out on a vehicle of the same specification as described in the type-approval certificate. When a type 1 test is to be carried out for a vehicle type-approval that has one or several extensions, the type 1 tests shall be carried out either on the vehicle described in the initial information package or on the vehicle described in the information package relating to the relevant extension.

4.2.2.

After selection by the approval authority, the manufacturer shall not undertake any adjustment to the vehicles selected. 4.2.2.1. Three vehicles shall be selected at random in the series and tested as described in Annex III to this Regulation. The deterioration factors shall be used in the same way. The limit values are set out in Tables 1 and 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 715/2007. 4.2.2.2. If the approval authority is satisfied with the production standard deviation given by the manufacturer in accordance with Annex X to Directive 2007/46/EC, the tests shall be carried out according to Appendix 1 of this Annex. If the approval authority is not satisfied with the production standard deviation given by the manufacturer in accordance with Annex X to Directive 2007/46/EC, the tests shall be carried out according to Appendix 2 of this Annex. 4.2.2.3. The production of a series shall be deemed to conform or not to conform on the basis of a sampling test of the vehicles once a pass decision is reached for all the pollutants or a fail decision is reached for one pollutant, according to the test criteria applied in the appropriate appendix. When a pass decision has been reached for one pollutant, that decision shall not be changed by any additional tests carried out to reach a decision for the other pollutants. If no pass decision is reached for all the pollutants and no fail decision is reached for one pollutant, a test shall be carried out on another vehicle (see Figure I.4.2).

4.2.3.

Notwithstanding the requirements of Annex III, the tests shall be carried out on vehicles coming straight off the production line. 4.2.3.1. However, at the request of the manufacturer, the tests may be carried out on vehicles which have completed: (a) A maximum of 3 000 km for vehicles equipped with a positive ignition engine; (b) A maximum of 15 000 km for vehicles equipped with a compression ignition engine. The running-in procedure shall be conducted by the manufacturer, who shall undertake not to make any adjustments to these vehicles. 4.2.3.2. If the manufacturer wishes to run in the vehicles, (‘x’ km, where x ≤ 3 000 km for vehicles equipped with a positive ignition engine and x ≤ 15 000 km for vehicles equipped with a compression ignition engine), the procedure shall be the following: (a) the pollutant emissions (type 1) shall be measured at zero and at ‘x’ km on the first tested vehicle; (b) the evolution coefficient of the emissions between zero and ‘x’ km shall be calculated for each of the pollutant: Emissions ‘x’ km/Emissions zero km This may be less than 1; and (c) the other vehicles shall not be run in, but their zero km emissions shall be multiplied by the evolution coefficient. In this case, the values to be taken shall be: (i) the values at ‘x’ km for the first vehicle; (ii) the values at zero km multiplied by the evolution coefficient for the other vehicles. 4.2.3.3. All these tests shall be conducted with commercial fuel. However, at the manufacturer’s request, the reference fuels described in Annex IX may be used.

4.3.   Checking the conformity of the vehicle for CO2 emissions

4.3.1.

If a vehicle type has had one or several extensions, the tests shall be carried out on the vehicle(s) described in the information package which accompanied the first type-approval application, or on the vehicle described in the information package that accompanied the relevant extension.

4.3.2.

If the approval authority is not satisfied with the auditing procedure of the manufacturer, points 3.3 and 3,4 of Annex X to Directive 2007/46/EC shall apply.

4.3.3.

For the purpose of this section and Appendices 1 and 2, the term ‘pollutant’ shall include the regulated pollutants (given in Tables 1 and 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 715/2007) and the emission of CO2.

4.3.4.

The conformity of the vehicle for CO2 emissions shall be determined in accordance with the procedure described in point 4.2.2. with the following exceptions: 4.3.4.1. The provisions of Section 4.2.2.1 shall be replaced by the following: Three vehicles shall be randomly taken in the series and tested as described in Annex XII. 4.3.4.2. The provisions of Section 4.2.3.1 shall be replaced by the following: However, at the request of the manufacturer, the tests may be carried out on vehicles which have completed a maximum of 15 000 km. In this case, the running-in procedure shall be conducted by the manufacturer, who shall undertake not to make any adjustments to these vehicles. 4.3.4.3. The provisions of Section 4.2.3.2 shall be replaced by the following: If the manufacturer wishes to run in the vehicles, (‘x’ km, where x ≤ 15 000 km), the procedure shall be the following: (a) the pollutant emissions shall be measured at zero and at ‘x’ km on the first tested vehicle; (b) the evolution coefficient of the emissions between zero and ‘x’ km shall be calculated for each of the pollutant: Emissions ‘x’ km/Emissions zero km This may be less than 1; and (c) the other vehicles shall not be run in, but their zero km emissions shall be multiplied by the evolution coefficient. In this case, the values to be taken shall be: (i) the values at ‘x’ km for the first vehicle; (ii) the values at zero km multiplied by the evolution coefficient for the other vehicles. 4.3.4.4. The provisions of Section 4.2.3.3 shall be replaced by the following: The reference fuels described in Annex IX of this Regulation, shall be used for testing. 4.3.4.5. When checking the conformity of vehicle for CO2 emissions, as an alternative to the procedure mentioned in Section 4.3.4.3, the vehicle manufacturer may use a fixed evolution coefficient EC of 0,92 and multiply all values of CO2 measured at zero km by this factor.

3.   SELECTION OF VEHICLES FOR IN-SERVICE CONFORMITY

3.1.

The information gathered by the manufacturer shall be sufficiently comprehensive to ensure that in-service performance can be assessed for normal conditions of use. The manufacturer’s sampling shall be drawn from at least two Member States with substantially different vehicle operating conditions (unless only sold in one Member State). Factors such as differences in fuels, ambient conditions, average road speeds, and urban/highway driving split shall be taken into consideration in the selection of the Member States. For OBD IUPRM testing only vehicles fulfilling the criteria of point 2.2.1 of Appendix 1 shall be included in the test sample.

3.2.

In selecting the Member States for sampling vehicles, the manufacturer may select vehicles from a Member State that is considered to be particularly representative. In this case, the manufacturer shall demonstrate to the approval authority which granted the type approval that the selection is representative (e.g. by the market having the largest annual sales of a vehicle family within the Union). When a family requires more than one sample lot to be tested as defined in point 3.5, the vehicles in the second and third sample lots shall reflect different vehicle operating conditions from those selected for the first sample.

3.3.	The emissions testing may be done at a test facility which is located in a different market or region from where the vehicles have been selected.

3.4.

The in-service tailpipe emissions conformity tests by the manufacturer shall be continuously carried out reflecting the production cycle of applicable vehicles types within a given in-service vehicle family. The maximum time period between commencing two in-service conformity checks shall not exceed 18 months. In the case of vehicle types covered by an extension to the type-approval that did not require an emissions test, this period may be extended up to 24 months.

3.5.

Sample size 3.5.1. When applying the statistical procedure defined in Appendix 2 (i.e. for tailpipe emissions), the number of sample lots shall depend on the annual sales volume of an in-service family in the Union, as defined in the following table: EU Registrations — per calendar year (for tailpipe emission tests), — of vehicles of an OBD family with IUPR in the sampling period Number of sample lots up to 100 000 1 100 001 to 200 000 2 above 200 000 3 3.5.2. For IUPR, the number of sample lots to be taken is described in the table in point 3.5.1 and is based on the number of vehicles of an OBD family that are approved with IUPR (subject to sampling). For the first sampling period of an OBD family, all of the vehicle types in the family that are approved with IUPR shall be considered to be subject to sampling. For subsequent sampling periods, only vehicle types which have not been previously tested or are covered by emissions approvals that have been extended since the previous sampling period shall be considered to be subject to sampling. For families consisting of fewer than 5 000 EU registrations that are subject to sampling within the sampling period the minimum number of vehicles in a sample lot is six. For all other families, the minimum number of vehicles in a sample lot to be sampled is fifteen. Each sample lot shall adequately represent the sales pattern, i.e. at least high volume vehicle types (≥ 20 % of the family total) shall be represented.

4.

On the basis of the audit referred to in Section 2 the approval authority shall adopt one of the following decisions and actions: (a) decide that the in-service conformity of a vehicle type, vehicle in-service family or vehicle OBD family is satisfactory and not take any further action; (b) decide that the data provided by the manufacturer is insufficient to reach a decision and request additional information or test data from the manufacturer; (c) decide that based on data from the approval authority or Member State surveillance testing programmes, that information provided by the manufacturer is insufficient to reach a decision and request additional information or test data from the manufacturer; (d) decide that the in-service conformity of a vehicle type, that is part of an in-service family, or of an OBD family, is unsatisfactory and proceed to have such vehicle type or OBD family tested in accordance with Appendix 1. If according to the IUPRM audit the test criteria of point 6.1.2 point (a) or (b) of Appendix 1 are met for the vehicles in a sample lot, the type-approval authority must take the further action described in point (d) of this point. 4.1. Where type 1 tests are considered necessary to check the conformity of emission control devices with the requirements for their performance while in service, such tests shall be carried out using a test procedure meeting the statistical criteria defined in Appendix 2. 4.2. The approval authority, in cooperation with the manufacturer, shall select a sample of vehicles with sufficient mileage whose use under normal conditions can be reasonably assured. The manufacturer shall be consulted on the choice of the vehicles in the sample and allowed to attend the confirmatory checks of the vehicles. 4.3. The manufacturer shall be authorised, under the supervision of the approval authority, to carry out checks, even of a destructive nature, on those vehicles with emission levels in excess of the limit values with a view to establishing possible causes of deterioration which cannot be attributed to the manufacturer (e.g. use of leaded petrol before the test date). Where the results of the checks confirm such causes, those test results shall be excluded from the conformity check.

One or multiple instruments or sensors to measure or determine the exhaust mass flow.

3.1.3.

A Global Positioning System to determine the position, altitude and, speed of the vehicle.

3.1.4.

If applicable, sensors and other appliances being not part of the vehicle, e.g. to measure ambient temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, and vehicle speed.

3.1.5.

An energy source independent of the vehicle to power the PEMS.

3.2.    Test parameters

Test parameters as specified in Table 1 of this Annex shall be measured, recorded at a constant frequency of 1,0 Hz or higher and reported according to the requirements of Appendix 8. If ECU parameters are obtained, these should be made available at a substantially higher frequency than the parameters recorded by PEMS to ensure correct sampling. The PEMS analysers, flow-measuring instruments and sensors shall comply with the requirements laid down in Appendices 2 and 3 of this Annex.

3.3.    Preparation of the vehicle

The preparation of the vehicle shall include a general technical and operational check.

3.4.    Installation of PEMS

3.4.1.    General

The installation of the PEMS shall follow the instructions of the PEMS manufacturer and the local health and safety regulations. The PEMS should be installed as to minimise during the test electromagnetic interferences as well as exposure to shocks, vibration, dust and variability in temperature. The installation and operation of the PEMS shall be leak-tight and minimise heat loss. The installation and operation of PEMS shall not change the nature of the exhaust gas nor unduly increase the length of the tailpipe. To avoid the generation of particles, connectors shall be thermally stable at the exhaust gas temperatures expected during the test. It is recommended not to use elastomer connectors to connect the vehicle exhaust outlet and the connecting tube. Elastomer connectors, if used, shall have a minimum exposure to the exhaust gas to avoid artefacts at high engine load.

3.4.2.    Permissible backpressure

The installation and operation of the PEMS shall not unduly increase the static pressure at the exhaust outlet. If technically feasible, any extension to facilitate the sampling or connection with the exhaust mass flow meter shall have an equivalent, or larger, cross-sectional area as the exhaust pipe.

3.4.3.    Exhaust mass flow meter

Whenever used, the exhaust mass flow meter shall be attached to the vehicle's tailpipe(s) according to the recommendations of the EFM manufacturer. The measurement range of the EFM shall match the range of the exhaust mass flow rate expected during the test. The installation of the EFM and any exhaust pipe adaptors or junctions shall not adversely affect the operation of the engine or exhaust after-treatment system. A minimum of four pipe diameters or 150 mm of straight tubing, whichever is larger, shall be placed either side of the flow-sensing element. When testing a multi-cylinder engine with a branched exhaust manifold, it is recommended to combine the manifolds upstream of the exhaust mass flow meter and to increase the cross section of the piping appropriately as to minimise backpressure in the exhaust. If this is not feasible, exhaust flow measurements with several exhaust mass flow meters shall be considered. The wide variety of exhaust pipe configurations, dimensions and expected exhaust mass flow rates may require compromises, guided by good engineering judgement, when selecting and installing the EFM(s). If measurement accuracy requires, it is permissible to install an EFM with a diameter smaller than that of the exhaust outlet or the total cross-sectional area of multiple outlets, providing it does not adversely affect the operation or the exhaust after-treatment as specified in point 3.4.2.

3.4.4.    Global Positioning System

The GPS antenna should be mounted, e.g. at the highest possible location, as to ensure good reception of the satellite signal. The mounted GPS antenna shall interfere as little as possible with the vehicle operation.

3.4.5.    Connection with the Engine Control Unit

If desired, relevant vehicle and engine parameters listed in Table 1 can be recorded by using a data logger connected with the ECU or the vehicle network following standards, e.g. ISO 15031-5 or SAE J1979, OBD-II, EOBD or WWH-OBD. If applicable, manufacturers shall disclose parameter labels to allow the identification of required parameters.

3.4.6.    Sensors and auxiliary equipment

Vehicle speed sensors, temperature sensors, coolant thermocouples or any other measurement device not part of the vehicle shall be installed to measure the parameter under consideration in a representative, reliable and accurate manner without unduly interfering with the vehicle operation and the functioning of other analysers, flow-measuring instruments, sensors and signals. Sensors and auxiliary equipment shall be powered independently of the vehicle.

3.5.    Emissions sampling

Emissions sampling shall be representative and conducted at locations of well-mixed exhaust where the influence of ambient air downstream of the sampling point is minimal. If applicable, emissions shall be sampled downstream of the exhaust mass flow meter, respecting a distance of at least 150 mm to the flow sensing element. The sampling probes shall be fitted at least 200 mm or three times the diameter of the exhaust pipe, whichever is larger, upstream of the vehicle's exit of the exhaust outlet, which is the point at which the exhaust exits the PEMS sampling installation into the environment. If the PEMS feeds back a flow to the tail pipe, this shall occur downstream of the sampling probe in a manner that does not affect during engine operation the nature of the exhaust gas at the sampling point(s). If the length of the sample line is changed, the system transport times shall be verified and if necessary corrected.

If the engine is equipped with an exhaust after-treatment system, the exhaust sample shall be taken downstream of the exhaust after-treatment system. When testing a vehicle with a multi-cylinder engine and branched exhaust manifold, the inlet of the sampling probe shall be located sufficiently far downstream so as to ensure that the sample is representative of the average exhaust emissions of all cylinders. In multi-cylinder engines, having distinct groups of manifolds, such as in a ‘V’ engine configuration, the manifolds shall be combined upstream of the sampling probe. If this is technically not feasible, multi-point sampling at locations of well-mixed exhaust free of ambient air shall be considered. In this case, the number and location of sampling probes shall match as far as possible that of the exhaust mass flow meters. In case of unequal exhaust flows, proportional sampling or sampling with multiple analysers shall be considered.

If particles are measured, the exhaust shall be sampled from the centre of the exhaust stream. If several probes are used for emissions sampling, the particle sampling probe shall be placed upstream of the other sampling probes.

If hydrocarbons are measured, the sampling line shall be heated to 463 ± 10 K (190 ± 10 °C). For the measurement of other gaseous components with or without cooler, the sampling line shall be kept at a minimum of 333 K (60 °C) as to avoid condensation and to ensure appropriate penetration efficiencies of the various gases. For low pressure sampling systems, the temperature can be lowered corresponding to the pressure decrease provided that the sampling system ensures a penetration efficiency of 95 % for all regulated gaseous pollutants. If particles are sampled, the sampling line from the raw exhaust sample point shall be heated to a minimum of 373 K (100 °C). The residence time of the sample in the particle sampling line shall be less than 3 s until reaching first dilution or the particle counter.

4.   PRE-TEST PROCEDURES

4.1.    PEMS leak check

After the installation of PEMS is completed, a leak check shall be performed at least once for each PEMS-vehicle installation as prescribed by the PEMS manufacturer or as follows. The probe shall be disconnected from the exhaust system and the end plugged. The analyser pump shall be switched on. After an initial stabilisation period all flow meters shall read approximately zero in the absence of a leak. Else, the sampling lines shall be checked and the fault corrected.

The leakage rate on the vacuum side shall not exceed 0,5 per cent of the in-use flow rate for the portion of the system being checked. The analyser flows and bypass flows may be used to estimate the in-use flow rates.

Alternatively, the system may be evacuated to a pressure of at least 20 kPa vacuum (80 kPa absolute). After an initial stabilisation period the pressure increase Dp (kPa/min) in the system shall not exceed:

Alternatively, a concentration step change at the beginning of the sampling line shall be introduced by switching from zero to span gas while maintaining the same pressure conditions as under normal system operation. If for a correctly calibrated analyser after an adequate period of time the reading is ≤ 99 per cent compared to the introduced concentration, the leakage problem shall be corrected.

4.2.    Starting and stabilising the PEMS

The PEMS shall be switched on, warmed up and stabilised according to the specifications of the PEMS manufacturer until, e.g. pressures, temperatures and flows have reached their operating set points.

4.3.    Preparing the sampling system

The sampling system, consisting of the sampling probe, sampling lines and the analysers, shall be prepared for testing by following the instruction of the PEMS manufacturer. It shall be ensured that the sampling system is clean and free of moisture condensation.

4.4.    Preparing the EFM

If used for measuring the exhaust mass flow, the EFM shall be purged and prepared for operation in accordance with the specifications of the EFM manufacturer. This procedure shall, if applicable, remove condensation and deposits from the lines and the associated measurement ports.

4.5.    Checking and calibrating the analysers for measuring gaseous emissions

Zero and span calibration adjustments of the analysers shall be performed using calibration gases that meet the requirements of point 5 of Appendix 2. The calibration gases shall be chosen to match the range of pollutant concentrations expected during the emissions test.

4.6.    Checking the analyser for measuring particle emissions

The zero level of the analyser shall be recorded by sampling HEPA filtered ambient air. The signal shall be recorded at a constant frequency of at least 1,0 Hz over a period of 2 min and averaged; the permissible concentration value shall be determined once suitable measurement equipment becomes available.

4.7.    Measuring vehicle speed

Vehicle speed shall be determined by at least one of the following methods:

4.8.    Check of PEMS set-up

The correctness of connections with all sensors and, if applicable, the ECU shall be verified. If engine parameters are retrieved, it shall be ensured that the ECU reports values correctly (e.g. zero engine speed (rpm) while the combustion engine is in key-on-engine-off status). The PEMS shall function free of warning signals and error indication.

5.   EMISSIONS TEST

5.1.    Test start

Sampling, measurement and recording of parameters shall begin prior to the start of the engine. To facilitate time alignment, it is recommended to record the parameters that are subject to time alignment either by a single data recording device or with a synchronised time stamp. Before as well as directly after engine start, it shall be confirmed that all necessary parameters are recorded by the data logger.

5.2.    Test

Sampling, measurement and recording of parameters shall continue throughout the on-road test of the vehicle. The engine may be stopped and started, but emissions sampling and parameter recording shall continue. Any warning signals, suggesting malfunctioning of the PEMS, shall be documented and verified. Parameter recording shall reach a data completeness of higher than 99 %. Measurement and data recording may be interrupted for less than 1 % of the total trip duration but for no more than a consecutive period of 30 s solely in the case of unintended signal loss or for the purpose of PEMS system maintenance. Interruptions may be recorded directly by the PEMS but it is not permissible to introduce interruptions in the recorded parameter via the pre-processing, exchange or post-processing of data. If conducted, auto zeroing shall be performed against a traceable zero standard similar to the one used to zero the analyser. It is strongly recommended to initiate PEMS system maintenance during periods of zero vehicle speed.

5.3.    Test end

The end of the test is reached when the vehicle has completed the trip and the combustion engine is switched off. The data recording shall continue until the response time of the sampling systems has elapsed.

6.   POST-TEST PROCEDURE

6.1.    Checking the analysers for measuring gaseous emissions

The zero and span of the analysers of gaseous components shall be checked by using calibration gases identical to the ones applied under point 4.5 to evaluate the analyser response drift compared to the pre-test calibration. It is permissible to zero the analyser prior to verifying the span drift, if the zero drift was determined to be within the permissible range. The post-test drift check shall be completed as soon as possible after the test and before the PEMS, or individual analysers or sensors, are turned off or have switched into a non-operating mode. The difference between the pre-test and post-test results shall comply with the requirements specified in Table 2.

If the difference between the pre-test and post-test results for the zero and span drift is higher than permitted, all test results shall be voided and the test repeated.

6.2.    Checking the analyser for measuring particle emissions

The zero level of the analyser shall be recorded by sampling HEPA filtered ambient air. The signal shall be recorded over a period of 2 min and averaged; the permissible final concentration shall be defined once suitable measurement equipment becomes available. If the difference between the pre-test and post-test zero and span check is higher than permitted, all test results shall be voided and the test repeated.

6.3.    Checking the on-road emission measurements

The calibrated range of the analysers shall account at least for 90 % of the concentration values obtained from 99 % of the measurements of the valid parts of the emissions test. It is permissible that 1 % of the total number of measurements used for evaluation exceeds the calibrated range of the analysers by up to a factor of two. If these requirements are not met, the test shall be voided.

3.   LINEARITY VERIFICATION

3.1.    General

The linearity of analysers, flow-measuring instruments, sensors and signals, shall be traceable to international or national standards. Any sensors or signals that are not directly traceable, e.g. simplified flow-measuring instruments shall be calibrated alternatively against chassis dynamometer laboratory equipment that has been calibrated against international or national standards.

3.2.    Linearity requirements

All analysers, flow-measuring instruments, sensors and signals shall comply with the linearity requirements given in Table 1. If air flow, fuel flow, the air-to-fuel ratio or the exhaust mass flow rate is obtained from the ECU, the calculated exhaust mass flow rate shall meet the linearity requirements specified in Table 1.

3.3.    Frequency of linearity verification

The linearity requirements according to point 3.2 shall be verified:

The linearity requirements according to point 3.2 for sensors or ECU signals that are not directly traceable shall be performed once for each PEMS set-up with a traceably calibrated measurement device on the chassis dynamometer.

3.4.    Procedure of linearity verification

3.4.1.    General requirements

The relevant analysers, instruments and sensors shall be brought to their normal operating condition according to the recommendations of their manufacturer. The analysers, instruments and sensors shall be operated at their specified temperatures, pressures and flows.

3.4.2.    General procedure

The linearity shall be verified for each normal operating range by executing the following steps:

3.4.3.    Requirements for linearity verification on a chassis dynamometer

Non-traceable flow-measuring instruments, sensors or ECU signals that cannot directly be calibrated according to traceable standards, shall be calibrated on the chassis dynamometer. The procedure shall follow as far as applicable, the requirements of Annex 4a to UN/ECE Regulation No 83. If necessary, the instrument or sensor to be calibrated shall be installed on the test vehicle and operated according to the requirements of Appendix 1. The calibration procedure shall follow whenever possible the requirements of point 3.4.2; at least 10 appropriate reference values shall be selected as to ensure that at least 90 % of the maximum value expected to occur during the emissions test is covered.

If a not directly traceable flow-measuring instrument, sensor or ECU signal for determining exhaust flow is to be calibrated, a traceably calibrated reference exhaust mass flow meter or the CVS shall be attached to the vehicle's tailpipe. It shall be ensured that the vehicle exhaust is accurately measured by the exhaust mass flow meter according to point 3.4.3 of Appendix 1. The vehicle shall be operated by applying constant throttle at a constant gear selection and chassis dynamometer load.

4.   ANALYSERS FOR MEASURING GASEOUS COMPONENTS

4.1.    Permissible types of analysers

4.1.1.    Standard analysers

The gaseous components shall be measured with analysers specified in points 1.3.1 to 1.3.5 of Appendix 3, Annex 4A to UN/ECE Regulation No 83, 07 series of amendments. If an NDUV analyser measures both NO and NO2, a NO2/NO converter is not required.

4.1.2.    Alternative analysers

Any analyser not meeting the design specifications of point 4.1.1 is permissible provided that it fulfils the requirements of point 4.2. The manufacturer shall ensure that the alternative analyser achieves an equivalent or higher measurement performance compared to a standard analyser over the range of pollutant concentrations and co-existing gases that can be expected from vehicles operated with permissible fuels under moderate and extended conditions of valid on-road testing as specified in points 5, 6 and 7. Upon request, the manufacturer of the analyser shall submit in writing supplemental information, demonstrating that the measurement performance of the alternative analyser is consistently and reliably in line with the measurement performance of standard analysers. Supplemental information shall contain:

Approval authorities may request additional information to substantiate equivalency or refuse approval if measurements demonstrate that an alternative analyser is not equivalent to a standard analyser.

4.2.    Analyser specifications

4.2.1.    General

In addition to the linearity requirements defined for each analyser in point 3, the compliance of analyser types with the specifications laid down in points 4.2.2 to 4.2.8 shall be demonstrated by the analyser manufacturer. Analysers shall have a measuring range and response time appropriate to measure with adequate accuracy the concentrations of the exhaust gas components at the applicable emissions standard under transient and steady state conditions. The sensitivity of the analysers to shocks, vibration, aging, variability in temperature and air pressure as well as electromagnetic interferences and other impacts related to vehicle and analyser operation shall be limited as far as possible.

4.2.2.    Accuracy

The accuracy, defined as the deviation of the analyser reading from the reference value, shall not exceed 2 % of reading or 0,3 % of full scale, whichever is larger.

4.2.3.    Precision

The precision, defined as 2,5 times the standard deviation of 10 repetitive responses to a given calibration or span gas, shall be no greater than 1 % of the full scale concentration for a measurement range equal or above 155 ppm (or ppmC1) and 2 % of the full scale concentration for a measurement range of below 155 ppm (or ppmC1).

4.2.4.    Noise

The noise, defined as two times the root mean square of ten standard deviations, each calculated from the zero responses measured at a constant recording frequency of at least 1,0 Hz during a period of 30 seconds, shall not exceed 2 % of full scale. Each of the 10 measurement periods shall be interspersed with an interval of 30 seconds in which the analyser is exposed to an appropriate span gas. Before each sampling period and before each span period, sufficient time shall be given to purge the analyser and the sampling lines.

4.2.5.    Zero response drift

The drift of the zero response, defined as the mean response to a zero gas during a time interval of at least 30 seconds, shall comply with the specifications given in Table 2.

4.2.6.    Span response drift

The drift of the span response, defined as the mean response to a span gas during a time interval of at least 30 seconds, shall comply with the specifications given in Table 2.

4.2.7.    Rise time

Rise time is defined as the time between the 10 per cent and 90 per cent response of the final reading (t 90 – t 10; see point 4.4). The rise time of PEMS analysers shall not exceed 3 seconds.

4.2.8.    Gas drying

Exhaust gases may be measured wet or dry. A gas-drying device, if used, shall have a minimal effect on the composition of the measured gases. Chemical dryers are not permitted.

4.3.    Additional requirements

4.3.1.    General

The provisions in points 4.3.2 to 4.3.5 define additional performance requirements for specific analyser types and apply only to cases, in which the analyser under consideration is used for PEMS emission measurements.

4.3.2.    Efficiency test for NOX converters

If a NOX converter is applied, for example to convert NO2 into NO for analysis with a chemiluminescence analyser, its efficiency shall be tested by following the requirements of point 2.4 of Appendix 3 of Annex 4a to UN/ECE Regulation No 83, 07 series of amendments. The efficiency of the NOX converter shall be verified no longer than one month before the emissions test.

4.3.3.    Adjustment of the Flame Ionisation Detector

(a)   Optimisation of the detector response

If hydrocarbons are measured, the FID shall be adjusted at intervals specified by the analyser manufacturer by following point 2.3.1 of Appendix 3 of Annex 4a to UN/ECE Regulation No 83, 07 series of amendments. A propane-in-air or propane-in-nitrogen span gas shall be used to optimise the response in the most common operating range.

(b)   Hydrocarbon response factors

If hydrocarbons are measured, the hydrocarbon response factor of the FID shall be verified by following the provisions of point 2.3.3 of Appendix 3 of Annex 4a to UN/ECE Regulation No 83, 07 series of amendments, using propane-in-air or propane-in-nitrogen as span gases and purified synthetic air or nitrogen as zero gases, respectively.

(c)   Oxygen interference check

The oxygen interference check shall be performed when introducing an analyser into service and after major maintenance intervals. A measuring range shall be chosen in which the oxygen interference check gases fall in the upper 50 per cent. The test shall be conducted with the oven temperature set as required. The specifications of the oxygen interference check gases are described in point 5.3.

The following procedure applies:

4.3.4.    Conversion efficiency of the non-methane cutter (NMC)

If hydrocarbons are analysed, a NMC can be used to remove non-methane hydrocarbons from the gas sample by oxidising all hydrocarbons except methane. Ideally, the conversion for methane is 0 per cent and for the other hydrocarbons represented by ethane is 100 per cent. For the accurate measurement of NMHC, the two efficiencies shall be determined and used for the calculation of the NMHC emissions (see point 9.2 of Appendix 4). It is not necessary to determine the methane conversion efficiency in case the NMC-FID is calibrated according to method (b) in point 9.2 of Appendix 4 by passing the methane/air calibration gas through the NMC.

4.3.5.    Interference effects

(a)   General

Other gases than the ones being analysed can affect the analyser reading. A check for interference effects and the correct functionality of analysers shall be performed by the analyser manufacturer prior to market introduction at least once for each type of analyser or device addressed in points (b) to (f).

(b)   CO analyser interference check

Water and CO2 can interfere with the measurements of the CO analyser. Therefore, a CO2 span gas having a concentration of 80 to 100 per cent of full scale of the maximum operating range of the CO analyser used during the test shall be bubbled through water at room temperature and the analyser response recorded. The analyser response shall not be more than 2 per cent of the mean CO concentration expected during normal on-road testing or ± 50 ppm, whichever is larger. The interference check for H2O and CO2 may be run as separate procedures. If the H2O and CO2 levels used for the interference check are higher than the maximum levels expected during the test, each observed interference value shall be scaled down by multiplying the observed interference with the ratio of the maximum expected concentration value during the test and the actual concentration value used during this check. Separate interference checks with concentrations of H2O that are lower than the maximum concentration expected during the test may be run and the observed H2O interference shall be scaled up by multiplying the observed interference with the ratio of the maximum H2O concentration value expected during the test and the actual concentration value used during this check. The sum of the two scaled interference values shall meet the tolerance specified in this point.

(c)   NOX analyser quench check

The two gases of concern for CLD and HCLD analysers are CO2 and water vapour. The quench response to these gases is proportional to the gas concentrations. A test shall determine the quench at the highest concentrations expected during the test. If the CLD and HCLD analysers use quench compensation algorithms that utilise H2O or CO2 measurement analysers or both, quench shall be evaluated with these analysers active and with the compensation algorithms applied.

(i)   CO2 quench check

A CO2 span gas having a concentration of 80 to 100 per cent of the maximum operating range shall be passed through the NDIR analyser; the CO2 value shall be recorded as A. The CO2 span gas shall then be diluted by approximately 50 per cent with NO span gas and passed through the NDIR and CLD or HCLD; the CO2 and NO values shall be recorded as B and C, respectively. The CO2 gas flow shall then be shut off and only the NO span gas shall be passed through the CLD or HCLD; the NO value shall be recorded as D. The per cent quench shall be calculated as:

where:

A	is the undiluted CO2 concentration measured with NDIR [%]

B	is the diluted CO2 concentration measured with NDIR [%]

C	is the diluted NO concentration measured with the CLD or HCLD [ppm]

D	is the undiluted NO concentration measured with the CLD or HCLD [ppm].

Alternative methods of diluting and quantifying of CO2 and NO span gas values such as dynamic mixing/blending are permitted upon approval of the approval authority.

(ii)   Water quench check

This check applies to measurements of wet gas concentrations only. The calculation of water quench shall consider dilution of the NO span gas with water vapour and the scaling of the water vapour concentration in the gas mixture to concentration levels that are expected to occur during an emissions test. A NO span gas having a concentration of 80 per cent to 100 per cent of full scale of the normal operating range shall be passed through the CLD or HCLD; the NO value shall be recorded as D. The NO span gas shall then be bubbled through water at room temperature and passed through the CLD or HCLD; the NO value shall be recorded as C. The analyser's absolute operating pressure and the water temperature shall be determined and recorded as E and F, respectively. The mixture's saturation vapour pressure that corresponds to the water temperature of the bubbler F shall be determined and recorded as G. The water vapour concentration H [%] of the gas mixture shall be calculated as:

The expected concentration of the diluted NO-water vapour span gas shall be recorded as D e after being calculated as:

For diesel exhaust, the maximum concentration of water vapour in the exhaust gas (in per cent) expected during the test shall be recorded as H m after being estimated, under the assumption of a fuel H/C ratio of 1,8/1, from the maximum CO2 concentration in the exhaust gas A as follows:

The per cent water quench shall be calculated as:

where:

D e	is the expected diluted NO concentration [ppm]

C	is the measured diluted NO concentration [ppm]

H m	is the maximum water vapour concentration [%]

H	is the actual water vapour concentration [%].

(iii)   Maximum allowable quench

The combined CO2 and water quench shall not exceed 2 per cent of full scale.

(d)   Quench check for NDUV analysers

Hydrocarbons and water can positively interfere with NDUV analysers by causing a response similar to that of NOX. The manufacturer of the NDUV analyser shall use the following procedure to verify that quench effects are limited:

The calculated NOX,dry shall at least amount to 95 % of NOX,ref.

(e)   Sample dryer

A sample dryer removes water, which can otherwise interfere with the NOX measurement. For dry CLD analysers, it shall be demonstrated that at the highest expected water vapour concentration H m the sample dryer maintains the CLD humidity at ≤ 5 g water/kg dry air (or about 0,8 per cent H2O), which is 100 per cent relative humidity at 3,9 °C and 101,3 kPa or about 25 per cent relative humidity at 25 °C and 101,3 kPa. Compliance may be demonstrated by measuring the temperature at the outlet of a thermal sample dryer or by measuring the humidity at a point just upstream of the CLD. The humidity of the CLD exhaust might also be measured as long as the only flow into the CLD is the flow from the sample dryer.

(f)   Sample dryer NO2 penetration

Liquid water remaining in an improperly designed sample dryer can remove NO2 from the sample. If a sample dryer is used in combination with a NDUV analyser without an NO2/NO converter upstream, water could therefore remove NO2 from the sample prior to the NOX measurement. The sample dryer shall allow for measuring at least 95 per cent of the NO2 contained in a gas that is saturated with water vapour and consists of the maximum NO2 concentration expected to occur during a vehicle test.

4.4.    Response time check of the analytical system

For the response time check, the settings of the analytical system shall be exactly the same as during the emissions test (i.e. pressure, flow rates, filter settings in the analysers and all other parameters influencing the response time). The response time shall be determined with gas switching directly at the inlet of the sample probe. The gas switching shall be done in less than 0,1 second. The gases used for the test shall cause a concentration change of at least 60 per cent full scale of the analyser.

The concentration trace of each single gas component shall be recorded. The delay time is defined as the time from the gas switching (t 0) until the response is 10 per cent of the final reading (t 10). The rise time is defined as the time between 10 per cent and 90 per cent response of the final reading (t 90 – t 10). The system response time (t 90) consists of the delay time to the measuring detector and the rise time of the detector.

The verification shall be performed at between 15 and 50 per cent of full scale for each calibration incorporating a gas divider. An additional verification may be performed using another calibration gas, if the first verification has failed.

Optionally, the gas divider may be checked with an instrument which by nature is linear, e.g. using NO gas in combination with a CLD. The span value of the instrument shall be adjusted with the span gas directly connected to the instrument. The gas divider shall be checked at the settings typically used and the nominal value shall be compared with the concentration measured by the instrument. The difference shall in each point be within ± 1 per cent of the nominal concentration value.

7.1.    General

Instruments, sensors or signals for measuring the exhaust mass flow rate shall have a measuring range and response time appropriate for the accuracy required to measure the exhaust mass flow rate under transient and steady state conditions. The sensitivity of instruments, sensors and signals to shocks, vibration, aging, variability in temperature, ambient air pressure, electromagnetic interferences and other impacts related to vehicle and instrument operation shall be on a level as to minimise additional errors.

7.2.    Instrument specifications

The exhaust mass flow rate shall be determined by a direct measurement method applied in either of the following instruments:

Each individual exhaust mass flow meter shall fulfil the linearity requirements set out in point 3. Furthermore, the instrument manufacturer shall demonstrate the compliance of each type of exhaust mass flow meter with the specifications in points 7.2.3 to 7.2.9.

It is permissible to calculate the exhaust mass flow rate based on air flow and fuel flow measurements obtained from traceably calibrated sensors if these fulfil the linearity requirements of point 3, the accuracy requirements of point 8 and if the resulting exhaust mass flow rate is validated according to point 4 of Appendix 3.

In addition, other methods that determine the exhaust mass flow rate based on not directly traceable instruments and signals, such as simplified exhaust mass flow meters or ECU signals are permissible if the resulting exhaust mass flow rate fulfils the linearity requirements of point 3 and is validated according to point 4 of Appendix 3.

7.2.1.    Calibration and verification standards

The measurement performance of exhaust mass flow meters shall be verified with air or exhaust gas against a traceable standard such as, e.g. a calibrated exhaust mass flow meter or a full flow dilution tunnel.

7.2.2.    Frequency of verification

The compliance of exhaust mass flow meters with points 7.2.3 and 7.2.9 shall be verified no longer than one year before the actual test.

7.2.3.    Accuracy

The accuracy, defined as the deviation of the EFM reading from the reference flow value, shall not exceed ± 2 % of the reading, 0,5 % of full scale or ± 1,0 % of the maximum flow at which the EFM has been calibrated, whichever is larger.

7.2.4.    Precision

The precision, defined as 2,5 times the standard deviation of 10 repetitive responses to a given nominal flow, approximately in the middle of the calibration range, shall be no greater than ±1 per cent of the maximum flow at which the EFM has been calibrated.

7.2.5.    Noise

The noise, defined as two times the root mean square of ten standard deviations, each calculated from the zero responses measured at a constant recording frequency of at least 1,0 Hz during a period of 30 seconds, shall not exceed 2 per cent of the maximum calibrated flow value. Each of the 10 measurement periods shall be interspersed with an interval of 30 seconds in which the EFM is exposed to the maximum calibrated flow.

7.2.6.    Zero response drift

Zero response is defined as the mean response to zero flow during a time interval of at least 30 seconds. The zero response drift can be verified based on the reported primary signals, e.g. pressure. The drift of the primary signals over a period of 4 hours shall be less than ± 2 per cent of the maximum value of the primary signal recorded at the flow at which the EFM was calibrated.

7.2.7.    Span response drift

Span response is defined as the mean response to a span flow during a time interval of at least 30 seconds. The span response drift can be verified based on the reported primary signals, e.g. pressure. The drift of the primary signals over a period of 4 hours shall be less than ± 2 per cent of the maximum value of the primary signal recorded at the flow at which the EFM was calibrated.

7.2.8.    Rise time

The rise time of the exhaust flow instruments and methods should match as far as possible the rise time of the gas analysers as specified in point 4.2.7 but shall not exceed 1 second.

7.2.9.    Response time check

The response time of exhaust mass flow meters shall be determined by applying similar parameters as those applied for the emissions test (i.e. pressure, flow rates, filter settings and all other response time influences). The response time determination shall be done with gas switching directly at the inlet of the exhaust mass flow meter. The gas flow switching shall be done as fast as possible, but highly recommended in less than 0,1 second. The gas flow rate used for the test shall cause a flow rate change of at least 60 per cent full scale (FS) of the exhaust mass flow meter. The gas flow shall be recorded. The delay time is defined as the time from the gas flow switching (t 0) until the response is 10 per cent (t 10) of the final reading. The rise time is defined as the time between 10 per cent and 90 per cent response (t 90 – t 10) of the final reading. The response time (t 90) is defined as the sum of the delay time and the rise time. The exhaust mass flow meter response time (t90 ) shall be ≤ 3 seconds with a rise time (t 90 – t 10) of ≤ 1 second in accordance with point 7.2.8.

8.   SENSORS AND AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT

3.1.    Frequency of PEMS validation

It is recommended to validate the installed PEMS once for each PEMS-vehicle combination either before the test or, alternatively, after the completion of an on-road test. The PEMS installation shall be kept unchanged in the time period between the on-road test and the validation.

3.2.    PEMS validation procedure

3.2.1.    PEMS installation

The PEMS shall be installed and prepared according to the requirements of Appendix 1. After the completion of the validation test until the start of the on-road test, the PEMS installation shall not be changed.

3.2.2.    Test conditions

The validation test shall be conducted on a chassis dynamometer, as far as applicable, under type-approval conditions by following the requirements of Annex 4a to UN/ECE Regulation No 83, 07 series of amendments or any other adequate measurement method.

3.2.3.    Data analysis

The total distance-specific emissions [g/km] measured with laboratory equipment shall be calculated following Annex 4a to UN/ECE Regulation No 83, 07 series of amendments. The emissions as measured with the PEMS shall be calculated according to point 9 of Appendix 4, summed to give the total mass of pollutant emissions [g] and then divided by the test distance [km] as obtained from the chassis dynamometer. The total distance-specific mass of pollutants [g/km], as determined by the PEMS and the reference laboratory system, shall be compared and evaluated against the requirements specified in point 3.3. For the validation of NOX emission measurements, humidity correction shall be applied following point 6.6.5 of Annex 4a to UN/ECE Regulation No 83, 07 series of amendments.

3.3.    Permissible tolerances for PEMS validation

The PEMS validation results shall fulfil the requirements given in Table 1. If any permissible tolerance is not met, corrective action shall be taken and the PEMS validation shall be repeated.

4.   VALIDATION PROCEDURE FOR THE EXHAUST MASS FLOW RATE DETERMINED BY NON-TRACEABLE INSTRUMENTS AND SENSORS

In addition to fulfilling the linearity requirements of point 3 of Appendix 2 under steady-state conditions, the linearity of non-traceable exhaust mass flow meters or the exhaust mass flow rate calculated from non-traceable sensors or ECU signals shall be validated under transient conditions for each test vehicle against a calibrated exhaust mass flow meter or the CVS. The validation test procedure can be executed without the installation of the PEMS but shall generally follow the requirements defined in Annex 4a to UN/ECE Regulation No 83, 07 series of amendments and the requirements pertinent to exhaust mass flow meters defined in Appendix 1.

4.2.    Validation procedure

The validation test shall be conducted on a chassis dynamometer under type-approval conditions, as far as applicable, by following the requirements of Annex 4a to UN/ECE Regulation No 83, 07 series of amendments.

3.   TIME CORRECTION OF PARAMETERS

For the correct calculation of distance-specific emissions, the recorded traces of component concentrations, exhaust mass flow rate, vehicle speed, and other vehicle data shall be time corrected. To facilitate the time correction, data which are subject to time alignment shall be recorded either in a single data recording device or with a synchronised timestamp following point 5.1 of Appendix 1. The time correction and alignment of parameters shall be carried out by following the sequence described in points 3.1 to 3.3.

3.1.    Time correction of component concentrations

The recorded traces of all component concentrations shall be time corrected by reverse shifting according to the transformation times of the respective analysers. The transformation time of analysers shall be determined according to point 4.4 of Appendix 2:

c i,c (t – Δt t,i ) = c i,r (t)

where:

c i,c

is the time-corrected concentration of component i as function of time t

c i,r

is the raw concentration of component i as function of time t

Δtt,i

is the transformation time t of the analyser measuring component i.

3.2.    Time correction of exhaust mass flow rate

The exhaust mass flow rate measured with an exhaust flow meter shall be time corrected by reverse shifting according to the transformation time of the exhaust mass flow meter. The transformation time of the mass flow meter shall be determined according to point 4.4.9 of Appendix 2:

q m,c (t – Δt t,m ) = qm ,r (t)

where:

q m,c

is the time-corrected exhaust mass flow rate as function of time t

q m,r

is the raw exhaust mass flow rate as function of time t

Δtt,m

is the transformation time t of the exhaust mass flow meter.

In case the exhaust mass flow rate is determined by ECU data or a sensor, an additional transformation time shall be considered and obtained by cross-correlation between the calculated exhaust mass flow rate and the exhaust mass flow rate measured following point 4 of Appendix 3.

3.3.    Time alignment of vehicle data

Other data obtained from a sensor or the ECU shall be time-aligned by cross-correlation with suitable emission data (e.g. component concentrations).

3.3.1.    Vehicle speed from different sources

To time align vehicle speed with the exhaust mass flow rate, it is first necessary to establish one valid speed trace. In case vehicle speed is obtained from multiple sources (e.g. the GPS, a sensor or the ECU), the speed values shall be time aligned by cross-correlation.

3.3.2.    Vehicle speed with exhaust mass flow rate

Vehicle speed shall be time aligned with the exhaust mass flow rate by means of cross-correlation between the exhaust mass flow rate and the product of vehicle velocity and positive acceleration.

3.3.3.    Further signals

The time alignment of signals whose values change slowly and within a small value range, e.g. ambient temperature, can be omitted.

4.   COLD START

The cold start period covers the first 5 minutes after initial start of the combustion engine. If the coolant temperature can be reliably determined, the cold start period ends once the coolant has reached 343 K (70 °C) for the first time but no later than 5 minutes after initial engine start. Cold start emissions shall be recorded.

5.   EMISSION MEASUREMENTS DURING ENGINE STOP

Any instantaneous emissions or exhaust flow measurements obtained while the combustion engine is deactivated shall be recorded. In a separate step, the recorded values shall afterward be set to zero by the data post processing. The combustion engine shall be considered as deactivated if two of the following criteria apply: the recorded engine speed is < 50 rpm; the exhaust mass flow rate is measured at < 3 kg/h; the measured exhaust mass flow rate drops to < 15 % of the steady-state exhaust mass flow rate at idling.

6.   CONSISTENCY CHECK OF VEHICLE ALTITUDE

In case well-reasoned doubts exist that a trip has been conducted above of the permissible altitude as specified in point 5.2 of Annex IIIA and in case altitude has only been measured with a GPS, the GPS altitude data shall be checked for consistency and, if necessary, corrected. The consistency of data shall be checked by comparing the latitude, longitude and altitude data obtained from the GPS with the altitude indicated by a digital terrain model or a topographic map of suitable scale. Measurements that deviate by more than 40 m from altitude depicted in the topographic map shall be manually corrected and marked.

7.   CONSISTENCY CHECK OF GPS VEHICLE SPEED

The vehicle speed as determined by the GPS shall be checked for consistency by calculating and comparing the total trip distance with reference measurements obtained from either a sensor, the validated ECU or, alternatively, from a digital road network or topographic map. It is mandatory to correct GPS data for obvious errors, e.g. by applying a dead reckoning sensor, prior to the consistency check. The original and uncorrected data file shall be retained and any corrected data shall be marked. The corrected data shall not exceed an uninterrupted time period of 120 s or a total of 300 s. The total trip distance as calculated from the corrected GPS data shall deviate by no more than 4 % from the reference. If the GPS data do not meet these requirements and no other reliable speed source is available, the test results shall be voided.

8.   CORRECTION OF EMISSIONS

8.1.    Dry-wet correction

If the emissions are measured on a dry basis, the measured concentrations shall be converted to a wet basis as:

c wet= k w· c dry

where:

c wet

is the wet concentration of a pollutant in ppm or per cent volume

c dry

is the dry concentration of a pollutant in ppm or per cent volume

k w	is the dry-wet correction factor

The following equation shall be used to calculate k w:

where:

where:

H a	is the intake air humidity [g water per kg dry air]

The components in the raw exhaust gas shall be measured with the measurement and sampling analysers described in Appendix 2. The raw concentrations of relevant components shall be measured in accordance with Appendix 1. The data shall be time corrected and aligned in accordance with point 3.

9.2.    Calculating NMHC and CH4 concentrations

For methane measurement using a NMC-FID, the calculation of NMHC depends on the calibration gas/method used for the zero/span calibration adjustment. When a FID is used for THC measurement without a NMC, it shall be calibrated with propane/air or propane/N2 in the normal manner. For the calibration of the FID in series with a NMC, the following methods are permitted:

It is strongly recommended to calibrate the methane FID with methane/air through the NMC.

In method (a), the concentrations of CH4 and NMHC shall be calculated as follows:

In case (b), the concentration of CH4 and NMHC shall be calculated as follows:

where:

c HC(w/oNMC)

E M	is the methane efficiency as determined in point 4.3.4(a) of Appendix 2

E E	is the ethane efficiency as determined in point 4.3.4(b) of Appendix 2.

If the methane FID is calibrated through the cutter (method b), then the methane conversion efficiency as determined in point 4.3.4(a) of Appendix 2 is zero. The density used for NMHC mass calculations shall be equal to that of total hydrocarbons at 273,15 K and 101,325 kPa and is fuel-dependent.

10.   DETERMINATION OF EXHAUST MASS FLOW

10.1.    Introduction

The calculation of instantaneous mass emissions according to points 11 and 12 requires determining the exhaust mass flow rate. The exhaust mass flow rate shall be determined by one of the direct measurement methods specified in point 7.2 of Appendix 2. Alternatively, it is permissible to calculate the exhaust mass flow rate as described in points 10.2 to 10.4.

10.2.    Calculation method using air mass flow rate and fuel mass flow rate

The instantaneous exhaust mass flow rate can be calculated from the air mass flow rate and the fuel mass flow rate as follows:

q mew,i = q maw,i + q mf,i

where:

qm ew,i

qm aw,i

is the instantaneous intake air mass flow rate [kg/s]

qm f,i

is the instantaneous fuel mass flow rate [kg/s].

If the air mass flow rate and the fuel mass flow rate or the exhaust mass flow rate are determined from ECU recording, the calculated instantaneous exhaust mass flow rate shall meet the linearity requirements specified for the exhaust mass flow rate in point 3 of Appendix 2 and the validation requirements specified in point 4.3 of Appendix 3.

10.3.    Calculation method using air mass flow and air-to-fuel ratio

ε	is the molar oxygen ratio (O/C).

Coefficients refer to a fuel Cβ Hα Oε Nδ Sγ with β = 1 for carbon-based fuels. The concentration of HC emissions is typically low and may be omitted when calculating l i.

If the air mass flow rate and air-to-fuel ratio are determined from ECU recording, the calculated instantaneous exhaust mass flow rate shall meet the linearity requirements specified for the exhaust mass flow rate in point 3 of Appendix 2 and the validation requirements specified in point 4.3 of Appendix 3.

10.4.    Calculation method using fuel mass flow and air-to-fuel ratio

The instantaneous exhaust mass flow rate can be calculated from the fuel flow and the air-to-fuel ratio (calculated with A/Fst and l i according to point 10.3) as follows:

q mew,i = q mf,i × (1 + A/F st × λ i)

The calculated instantaneous exhaust mass flow rate shall meet the linearity requirements specified for the exhaust gas mass flow rate in point 3 of Appendix 2 and the validation requirements specified in point 4.3 of Appendix 3.

11.   CALCULATING THE INSTANTANEOUS MASS EMISSIONS

The instantaneous mass emissions [g/s] shall be determined by multiplying the instantaneous concentration of the pollutant under consideration [ppm] with the instantaneous exhaust mass flow rate [kg/s], both corrected and aligned for the transformation time, and the respective u value of Table 1. If measured on a dry basis, the dry-wet correction according to point 8.1 shall be applied to the instantaneous component concentrations before executing any further calculations. If applicable, negative instantaneous emission values shall enter all subsequent data evaluations. All significant digits of intermediate results shall enter the calculation of the instantaneous emissions. The following equation shall be applied:

m gas,i = u gas · c gas,i · q mew,i

where:

m gas,i

is the mass of the exhaust component ‘gas’ [g/s]

u gas

is the ratio of the density of the exhaust component ‘gas’ and the overall density of the exhaust as listed in Table 1

12.   CALCULATING THE INSTANTANEOUS PARTICLE NUMBER EMISSIONS

This section will define future requirements for calculating instantaneous particle number emissions, once their measurement becomes mandatory.

13.   DATA REPORTING AND EXCHANGE

The data shall be exchanged between the measurement systems and the data evaluation software by a standardised reporting file as specified in point 2 of Appendix 8. Any pre-processing of data (e.g. time correction according to point 3 or the correction of the GPS vehicle speed signal according to point 7) shall be done with the control software of the measurement systems and shall be completed before the data reporting file is generated. If data are corrected or processed prior to entering the data reporting file, the original raw data shall be kept for quality assurance and control. Rounding of intermediate values is not permitted. Instead, intermediate values shall enter the calculation of instantaneous emissions [g/s; #/s] as reported by the analyser, flow-measuring instrument, sensor or the ECU.

Verification of trip dynamic conditions with method 1 (Moving Averaging Window)

1.   INTRODUCTION

The Moving Averaging Window method provides an insight on the real-driving emissions (RDE) occurring during the test at a given scale. The test is divided in sub-sections (windows) and the subsequent statistical treatment aims at identifying which windows are suitable to assess the vehicle RDE performance.

3.   MOVING AVERAGING WINDOWS

3.1.    Definition of averaging windows

The instantaneous emissions calculated according to Appendix 4 shall be integrated using a moving averaging window method, based on the reference CO2 mass. The principle of the calculation is as follows: the mass emissions are not calculated for the complete data set, but for sub-sets of the complete data set, the length of these sub-sets being determined so as to match the CO2 mass emitted by the vehicle over the reference laboratory cycle. The moving average calculations are conducted with a time increment corresponding to the data sampling frequency. These sub-sets used to average the emissions data are referred to as ‘averaging windows’. The calculation described in the present point may be run from the last point (backwards) or from the first point (forward).

The following data shall not be considered for the calculation of the CO2 mass, the emissions and the distance of the averaging windows:

The mass (or particle number) emissions M gas,j shall be determined by integrating the instantaneous emissions in g/s (or #/s for PN) calculated as specified in Appendix 4.

Figure 1

Vehicle speed versus time — Vehicle averaged emissions versus time, starting from the first averaging window

Figure 2

Definition of CO2 mass based averaging windows

The duration (t2,j – t1,j ) of the jth averaging window is determined by:

Where:

is the CO2 mass measured between the test start and time (ti,j), [g];

is the half of the CO2 mass [g] emitted by the vehicle over the WLTP cycle (Type I test, including cold start);

t 2,j shall be selected such as:

Where Δt is the data sampling period.

The CO2 masses are calculated in the windows by integrating the instantaneous emissions calculated as specified in Appendix 4 to this Annex.

3.2.    Calculation of window emissions and averages

The following shall be calculated for each window determined in accordance with point 3.1:

4.   EVALUATION OF WINDOWS

4.1.    Introduction

The reference dynamic conditions of the test vehicle are set out from the vehicle CO2 emissions versus average speed measured at type approval and referred to as ‘vehicle CO2 characteristic curve’.

To obtain the distance-specific CO2 emissions, the vehicle shall be tested using the road load settings prescribed in the UNECE Global Technical Regulation No 15 — worldwide harmonised light vehicles test procedure (ECE/TRANS/180/Add.15).

4.2.    CO2 characteristic curve reference points

The reference points P 1, P 2 and P 3 required to define the curve shall be established as follows:

4.2.1.    Point P1

(average speed of the Low Speed phase of the WLTP cycle)

= Vehicle CO2 emissions over the Low Speed phase of the WLTP cycle × 1,2 [g/km].

4.2.2.    Point P2

4.2.3.

(average speed of the High Speed phase of the WLTP cycle) = Vehicle CO2 emissions over the High Speed phase of the WLTP cycle × 1,1 [g/km].

4.2.4.

Point P3

4.2.5.

(average speed of the Extra High Speed phase of the WLTP cycle) = Vehicle CO2 emissions over the Extra High Speed phase of the WLTP cycle × 1,05 [g/km]

4.3.    CO2 characteristic curve definition

Using the reference points defined in point 4.2, the characteristic curve CO2 emissions are calculated as a function of the average speed using two linear sections (P 1, P 2) and (P 2, P 3). The section (P 2, P 3) is limited to 145 km/h on the vehicle speed axis. The characteristic curve is defined by equations as follows:

Figure 3

Vehicle CO2 characteristic curve

4.4.    Urban, rural and motorway windows

4.4.1.

Urban windows are characterised by average vehicle ground speeds smaller than 45 km/h,

4.4.2.

Rural windows are characterised by average vehicle ground speeds greater than or equal to 45 km/h and smaller than 80 km/h,

4.4.3.

Motorway windows are characterised by average vehicle ground speeds greater than or equal to 80 km/h and smaller than 145 km/h

Figure 4

Vehicle CO2 characteristic curve: urban, rural and motorway driving definitions

5.   VERIFICATION OF TRIP COMPLETENESS AND NORMALITY

5.1.    Tolerances around the vehicle CO2 characteristic curve

The primary tolerance and the secondary tolerance of the vehicle CO2 characteristic curve are respectively tol 1= 25 % and tol2 = 50 %.

5.2.    Verification of test completeness

The test shall be complete when it comprises at least 15 % of urban, rural and motorway windows, out of the total number of windows.

5.3.    Verification of test normality

The test shall be normal when at least 50 % of the urban, rural and motorway windows are within the primary tolerance defined for the characteristic curve.

If the specified minimum requirement of 50 % is not met, the upper positive tolerance tol 1 may be increased by steps of 1 % until the 50 % of normal windows target is reached. When using this mechanism, tol1 shall never exceed 30 %.

6.   CALCULATION OF EMISSIONS

6.1.    Calculation of weighted distance-specific emissions

The emissions shall be calculated as a weighted average of the windows distance-specific emissions separately for the urban, rural and motorway categories and the complete trip.

The weighing factor w j for each window shall be determined as such:

If

Then w j = 1

If

Then wj = k11hj + k12

with k11 = 1/(tol1 – tol2)

and k12: tol2/(tol2– tol1)

If

Then wj = k21hj + K22

with k21 = 1/(tol2 – tol1)

and k22 = k21 = tol2/(tol2 – tol1)

If

or

Then w j = 0

Where:

Figure 5

Averaging window weighing function

6.2.    Calculation of severity indices

The severity indices shall be calculated separately for the urban, rural and motorway categories:

and the complete trip:

Where fu, fr fm are equal to 0,34, 0,33 and 0,33 respectively.

6.3.    Calculation of emissions for the total trip

Using the weighted distance-specific emissions calculated under point 6.1, the distance-specific emissions in [mg/km] shall be calculated for the complete trip each gaseous pollutant in the following way:

And for particle number:

Where fu, fr fm are respectively equal to 0,34, 0,33 and 0,33.

7.   NUMERICAL EXAMPLES

7.1.    Averaging window calculations

Figure 6 shows how averaging windows are defined on the basis of data recorded during an on-road test performed with PEMS. For sake of clarity, only the first 1 200 seconds of the trip are shown hereafter.

Seconds 0 up to 43 as well as seconds 81 to 86 are excluded due to operation under zero vehicle speed.

The first averaging window starts at t 1,1 = 0s and ends at second t 2,1 = 524 s (Table 3). The window average vehicle speed, integrated CO and NOx masses [g] emitted and corresponding to the valid data over the first averaging window are listed in Table 4.

Figure 6

Instantaneous CO2 emissions recorded during on-road test with PEMS as a function of time. Rectangular frames indicate the duration of the jth window. Data series named ‘Valid=100 / Invalid=0’ shows second by second data to be excluded from analysis

7.2.    Evaluation of windows

The definition of the CO2 characteristic curve is as follows:

For the section (P 1, P 2):

with

and: b1 = 154 – (– 1,543) × 19.0 = 154 + 29,317 = 183,317

For the section (P 2, P 3):

with

and: b2 = 96 – 0,672 × 56,6 = 96 – 38,035 = 57,965

Examples of calculation for the weighing factors and the window categorisation as urban, rural or motorway are:

For window #45:

For the characteristic curve:

Verification of:

124,498 × (1 – 25/100) ≤ 122,62 ≤ 124,498 × (1 + 25/100)

93,373 ≤ 122,62 ≤ 155,622

Leads to: w 45= 1

For window #556:

For the characteristic curve:

Verification of:

105,982 × (1 – 50/100) ≤ 72,15 ≤ 105,982 × (1 + 25/100)

52,991 ≤ 72,15 ≤ 79,487

Leads to:

w 556 = k 21 h 556 + k 22 = 0,04 · (– 31,922) + 2 = 0,723

with k 21 = 1/(tol 2 – tol 1) = 1/(50 – 25) = 0,04

and k 22 = k 21 = tol 2/(tol 2 – tol 1) = 50/(50 – 25) = 2

7.3.    Urban, rural and motorway windows — Trip completeness

In this numerical example, the trip consists of 7 036 averaging windows. Table 5 lists the number of windows classified in urban, rural and motorway according to their average vehicle speed and divided in regions with respect to their distance to the CO2 characteristic curve. The trip is complete since it comprises at least 15 % of urban, rural and motorway windows out of the total number of windows. In addition the trip is characterised as normal since at least 50 % of the urban, rural and motorway windows are within the primary tolerances defined for the characteristic curve.

The mgas, i values shall be classified in accordance with the corresponding power at the wheels and the classified average emissions per power class shall be weighted to obtain the emission values for a test with a normal power distribution according to the following points.

3.1.    Sources for the actual wheel power

The actual wheel power Pr,i shall be the total power to overcome air resistance, rolling resistance, longitudinal inertia of the vehicle and rotational inertia of the wheels.

When measured and recorded, the wheel power signal shall use a torque signal meeting the linearity requirements laid down in Appendix 2, point 3.2.

As an alternative, the actual wheel power may be determined from the instantaneous CO2 emissions following the procedure laid down in point 4 of this Appendix.

The standard power frequencies are defined for urban driving and for the total trip (see paragraph 3.4) and a separate evaluation of the emissions shall be made for the total trip and for the urban part.

Correction of the wheel power classes The maximum wheel power class to be considered is the highest class in Table 1-2 which includes (Prated × 0,9). The time shares of all excluded classes shall be added to the highest remaining class. From each Pc,norm,j the corresponding Pc,j shall be calculated to define the upper and lower bounds in kW per wheel power class for the tested vehicle as shown in Figure 1. An example for this de-normalisation is given below. Example for input data: Parameter Value f0 [N] 79,19 f1 [N/(km/h)] 0,73 f2 [N/(km/h)2] 0,03 TM [kg] 1 470 Prated [kW] 120 (Example 1) Prated [kW] 75 (Example 2) Corresponding results: Pdrive = 70 [km/h]/3,6 × (79,19 + 0,73 [N/(km/h)] × 70[km/h] + 0,03 [N/(km/h)2] × (70 [km/h])2 + 1 470 [kg] × 0,45[m/s2]) × 0,001 Pdrive = 18.25 kW Table 2 De-normalised standard power frequency values from Table 1-2 (for Example 1) Power class No Pc,j [kW] Urban Total trip From > to ≤ Time share, tC,j [%] 1 All < – 1,825 – 1,825 21,97 % 18,5611 % 2 – 1,825 1,825 28,79 % 21,8580 % 3 1,825 18,25 44,00 % 43,4583 % 4 18,25 34,675 4,74 % 13,2690 % 5 34,675 51,1 0,45 % 2,3767 % 6 51,1 67,525 0,045 % 0,4232 % 7 67,525 83,95 0,004 % 0,0511 % 8 83,95 100,375 0,0004 % 0,0024 % 9 (1) 100,375 All > 100,375 0,00025 % 0,0003 % (1)   The highest class wheel power class to be considered is the one containing 0,9 × Prated.

Here 0,9 × 75 = 67,5.

3.5.    Classification of the moving average values

Each moving average value calculated according to point 3.2 shall be sorted into the de-normalised wheel power class into which the actual 3-second moving average wheel power Pw,3s,k fits. The de-normalised wheel power class limits have to be calculated according to point 3.3.

The classification shall be done for all three-second moving averages of the entire valid trip data as well as for the all urban trip parts. Additionally all moving averages classified to urban according to the velocity limits defined in Table 1-1 shall be classified into one set of urban power classes independently of the time when the moving average appeared in the trip.

Then the average of all three-second moving average values within a wheel power class shall be calculated for each wheel power class per parameter. The equations are described below and shall be applied once for the urban data set and once for the total data set.

Classification of the 3-second moving average values into power class j (j = 1 to 9):

if

then: class index for emissions and velocity = j.

The number of 3-second moving average values shall be counted for each power class:

if

then: countsj = n + 1 (countsj is counting the number of 3-second moving average emission value in a power class to check later the minimum coverage demands).

3.6.    Check of power class coverage and of normality of power distribution

For a valid test the time shares of the single wheel power classes shall be in the ranges listed in Table 4.

In addition to the requirements in Table 4, a minimum coverage of 5 counts is demanded for the total trip in each wheel power class up to the class containing 90 % of the rated power to provide a sufficient sample size.

A minimum coverage of five counts is required for the urban part of the trip in each wheel power class up to class No 5. If the counts in the urban part of the trip in a wheel power class above No 5 are less than five, the average class emission value shall be set to zero.

3.7.    Averaging of the measured values per wheel power class

The moving averages sorted in each wheel power class shall be averaged as follows:

Where

j	wheel power class 1 to 9 according to Table 1

average emission value of an exhaust gas component in a wheel power class (separate value for total trip data and for the urban parts of the trip), [g/s]

average velocity in a wheel power class (separate value for total trip data and for the urban parts of the trip), [km/h]

k	time step for moving average values.

3.8.    Weighting of the average values per wheel power class

The average values of each wheel power class shall be multiplied with the time share, tC,j per class according to Table 1-2 and summed up to produce the weighted average value for each parameter. This value represents the weighted result for a trip with the standardised power frequencies. The weighted averages shall be computed for the urban part of the test data using the time shares for urban power distribution as well as for the total trip using the time shares for the total.

The equations are described below and shall be applied once for the urban data set and once for the total data set.

3.9.    Calculation of the weighted distance-specific emission value

The time-based weighted averages of the emissions in the test shall be converted into distance-based emissions once for the urban data set and once for the total data set as follows:

Using this formula, weighted averages shall be calculated for the following pollutants:

Mw,NOx,d

weighted NOx test result in [mg/km]

Mw,CO,d

weighted CO test result in [mg/km]

4.   ASSESSMENT OF THE WHEEL POWER FROM THE INSTANTANEOUS CO2 MASS FLOW

The power at the wheels (Pw,i) can be computed from the measured CO2 mass flow in 1 Hz basis. For this calculation the vehicle-specific CO2 lines (‘Veline’) shall be used.

The Veline shall be calculated from the vehicle type approval test in the WLTC according to the test procedure described in UNECE Global Technical Regulation No 15 — worldwide harmonised light vehicles test procedure (ECE/TRANS/180/Add.15).

The average wheel power per WLTC phase shall be calculated. in 1 Hz from the driven velocity and from the chassis dynamometer settings. All wheel power values below the drag power shall be set to the drag power value.

With

f0, f1, f2

road load coefficients used in in the WLTP test performed with the vehicle

TM	test mass of the vehicle in the WLTP test performed with the vehicle in [kg]

P drag = – 0,04 × P rated

if Pw,i < Pdrag then Pw,i = Pdrag

The average power per WLTC phase is calculated from the 1 Hz wheel power according to:

With

p	phase of WLTC (low, medium, high and extra-high)

ts	Start time of the WLTC phase p, [s]

te	end time of the WLTC phase p, [s].

Then a linear regression shall be made with the CO2 mass flow from the bag values of the WLTC on the y-axis and from the average wheel power Pw,p per phase on the x-axis as illustrated in Figure 2.

The resulting Veline equation defines the CO2 mass flow as function of the wheel power:

Where

kWLTC

slope of the Veline from WLTC, [g/kWh]

DWLTC

intercept of the Veline from WLTC, [g/h].

Figure 2

Schematic picture of setting up the vehicle-specific Veline from the CO2 test results in the four phases of the WLTC

The actual wheel power shall be calculated from the measured CO2 mass flow according to:

The above equation can be used to provide PWi for the classification of the measured emissions as described in point 3 with following additional conditions in the calculation

3.4.    Alternative PEMS test family

As an alternative to the provisions of points 3.1 to 3.2 the vehicle manufacturer may define a PEMS test family, which is identical to a single vehicle emission type. In this the requirement of point 4.1.2 for validating the PEMS test family shall not apply.

4.   VALIDATION OF A PEMS TEST FAMILY

4.1.    General requirements for validating a PEMS test family

4.1.1.

The vehicle manufacturer presents a representative vehicle of the PEMS test family to the type-approval authority. The vehicle shall be subject to a PEMS test carried out by a Technical Service to demonstrate compliance of the representative vehicle with the requirements of this Annex.

4.1.2.

The authority responsible for issuing the emission type-approval in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 selects additional vehicles according to the requirements of point 4.2 of this Appendix for PEMS testing carried out by a Technical Service to demonstrate compliance of the selected vehicles with the requirements of this Annex. The technical criteria for selection of an additional vehicle according to point 4.2 of this Appendix shall be recorded with the test results.

4.1.3.

With agreement of the type-approval authority, a PEMS test can also be driven by a different operator witnessed by a Technical Service, provided that at least the tests of the vehicles required by of this Appendix and in total at least 50 % of the PEMS tests required by this Appendix for validating the PEMS test family are driven by a Technical Service. In such case the Technical Service remains responsible for the proper execution of all PEMS tests pursuant to the requirements of this Annex.

4.1.4.

A PEMS test results of a specific vehicle may be used for validating different PEMS test families according to the requirements of this Appendix under the following conditions: — the vehicles included in all PEMS test families to be validated are approved by a single authority according to the requirements of Regulation (EC) 715/2007 and this authority agrees to the use of the specific vehicle's PEMS test results for validating different PEMS test families, — each PEMS test family to be validated includes a vehicle emission type, which comprises the specific vehicle; For each validation the applicable responsibilities are considered to be borne by the manufacturer of the vehicles in the respective family, regardless of whether this manufacturer was involved in the PEMS test of the specific vehicle emission type.

4.2.    Selection of vehicles for PEMS testing when validating a PEMS test family

By selecting vehicles from a PEMS test family it should be ensured that the following technical characteristics relevant for pollutant emissions are covered by a PEMS test. One vehicle selected for testing can be representative for different technical characteristics. For the validation of a PEMS test family vehicles shall be selected for PEMS testing as follows:

4.2.1.

For each combination of fuels (e.g. petrol-LPG, petrol-NG, petrol only), on which some vehicle of the PEMS test family can operate, at least one vehicle that can operate on this combination of fuels shall be selected for PEMS testing.

4.2.2.

The manufacturer shall specify a value PMRH (= highest power-to-mass-ratio of all vehicles in the PEMS test family) and a value PMRL (= lowest power-to-mass-ratio of all vehicles in the PEMS test family). Here the ‘power-to-mass-ratio’ corresponds to the ratio of the maximum net power of the internal combustion engine as indicated in point 3.2.1.8 of Appendix 3 to Annex I of this Regulation and of the reference mass as defined in Article 3(3) of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007. At least one vehicle configuration representative for the specified PMRH and one vehicle configuration representative for the specified PMRL of a PEMS test family shall be selected for testing. If the power-to-mass ratio of a vehicle deviates by not more than 5 % from the specified value for PMRH, or PMRL, the vehicle should be considered as representative for this value.

4.2.3.

At least one vehicle for each transmission type (e.g. manual, automatic, DCT) installed in vehicles of the PEMS test family shall be selected for testing.

4.2.4.

At least one four-wheel drive vehicle (4 × 4 vehicle) shall be selected for testing if such vehicles are part of the PEMS test family.

4.2.5.

For each engine volume occurring on a vehicle in the PEMS family at least one representative vehicle shall be tested.

4.2.6.

At least one vehicle for each number of installed exhaust after-treatment components shall be selected for testing.

4.2.7.

Notwithstanding the provisions in points 4.2.1 to 4.2.6, at least the following number of vehicle emission types of a given PEMS test family shall be selected for testing: Number N of vehicle emission types in a PEMS test family Minimum number NT of vehicle emission types selected for PEMS testing 1 1 from 2 to 4 2 from 5 to 7 3 from 8 to 10 4 from 11 to 49 NT = 3 + 0,1 × N (1) more than 49 NT = 0,15 × N (1) (1)   NT shall be rounded to the next higher integer number.

5.   REPORTING

5.1.	The vehicle manufacturer provides a full description of the PEMS test family, which includes in particular the technical criteria described in point 3.2 and submits it to the responsible type approval authority.

5.2.

The manufacturer attributes a unique identification number of the format MS-OEM-X-Y to the PEMS test family and communicates it to the type approval authority. Here MS is the distinguishing number of the Member State issuing the EC type-approval ( 56 ), OEM is the 3 character manufacturer, X is a sequential number identifying the original PEMS test family and Y is a counter for its extensions (starting with 0 for a PEMS test family not extended yet).

5.3.

The type approval authority and the vehicle manufacturer shall maintain a list of vehicle emission types being part of a given PEMS test family on the basis of emission type approval numbers. For each emission type all corresponding combinations of vehicle type approval numbers, types, variants and versions as defined in Sections 0.10 and 0.2 of the vehicle's EC certificate of conformity shall be provided as well.

5.4.

The type approval authority and the vehicle manufacturer shall maintain a list of vehicle emission types selected for PEMS testing in order validate a PEMS test family in accordance with point 4, which also provides the necessary information on how the selection criteria of point 4.2 are covered. This list shall also indicate whether the provisions of point 4.1.3 were applied for a particular PEMS test.

2.3.1.   Vehicles with Positive Ignition Engines

2.3.1.1.

The following bench ageing procedure shall be applicable for positive-ignition vehicles including hybrid vehicles which use a catalyst as the principle after-treatment emission control device. The bench ageing procedure requires the installation of the catalyst-plus-oxygen sensor system on a catalyst ageing bench. Ageing on the bench shall be conducted by following the standard bench cycle (SBC) for the period of time calculated from the bench ageing time (BAT) equation. The BAT equation requires, as input, catalyst time-at-temperature data measured on the Standard Road Cycle (SRC), described in Appendix 3 to this Annex.

2.3.1.2.

Standard bench cycle (SBC). Standard catalyst bench ageing shall be conducted following the SBC. The SBC shall be run for the period of time calculated from the BAT equation. The SBC is described in Appendix 1 of this Annex.

2.3.1.3.

Catalyst time-at-temperature data. Catalyst temperature shall be measured during at least two full cycles of the SRC cycle as described in Appendix 3 to this Annex. Catalyst temperature shall be measured at the highest temperature location in the hottest catalyst on the test vehicle. Alternatively, the temperature may be measured at another location providing that it is adjusted to represent the temperature measured at the hottest location using good engineering judgement. Catalyst temperature shall be measured at a minimum rate of one hertz (one measurement per second). The measured catalyst temperature results shall be tabulated into a histogram with temperature groups of no larger than 25 °C.

2.3.1.4.

Bench-ageing time. Bench ageing time shall be calculated using the bench ageing time (BAT) equation as follows: te for a temperature bin = th e((R/Tr)–(R/Tv)) Total te = Sum of te over all the temperature groups Bench-Ageing Time = A (Total te) Where: A = 1,1 This value adjusts the catalyst ageing time to account for deterioration from sources other than thermal ageing of the catalyst. R = Catalyst thermal reactivity = 17 500 th = The time (in hours) measured within the prescribed temperature bin of the vehicle's catalyst temperature histogram adjusted to a full useful life basis e.g., if the histogram represented 400 km, and useful life is 160 000 km; all histogram time entries would be multiplied by 400 (160 000 /400). Total te = The equivalent time (in hours) to age the catalyst at the temperature of Tr on the catalyst ageing bench using the catalyst ageing cycle to produce the same amount of deterioration experienced by the catalyst due to thermal deactivation over the 160 000 km. te for a bin = The equivalent time (in hours) to age the catalyst at the temperature of Tr on the catalyst ageing bench using the catalyst ageing cycle to produce the same amount of deterioration experienced by the catalyst due to thermal deactivation at the temperature bin of Tv over 160 000 km. Tr = The effective reference temperature (in °K) of the catalyst on the catalyst bench run on the bench ageing cycle. The effective temperature is the constant temperature that would result in the same amount of ageing as the various temperatures experienced during the bench ageing cycle. Tv = The mid-point temperature (in °K) of the temperature bin of the vehicle on-road catalyst temperature histogram.

2.3.1.5.

Effective reference temperature on the SBC. The effective reference temperature of the standard bench cycle (SBC) shall be determined for the actual catalyst system design and actual ageing bench which will be used using the following procedures: (a) Measure time-at-temperature data in the catalyst system on the catalyst ageing bench following the SBC. Catalyst temperature shall be measured at the highest temperature location of the hottest catalyst in the system. Alternatively, the temperature may be measured at another location providing that it is adjusted to represent the temperature measured at the hottest location. Catalyst temperature shall be measured at a minimum rate of one hertz (one measurement per second) during at least 20 minutes of bench ageing. The measured catalyst temperature results shall be tabulated into a histogram with temperature groups of no larger than 10 °C. (b) The BAT equation shall be used to calculate the effective reference temperature by iterative changes to the reference temperature (Tr) until the calculated ageing time equals or exceeds the actual time represented in the catalyst temperature histogram. The resulting temperature is the effective reference temperature on the SBC for that catalyst system and ageing bench.

2.3.1.6.

Catalyst Ageing Bench. The catalyst ageing bench shall follow the SBC and deliver the appropriate exhaust flow, exhaust constituents, and exhaust temperature at the face of the catalyst. All bench ageing equipment and procedures shall record appropriate information (such as measured A/F ratios and time-at-temperature in the catalyst) to assure that sufficient ageing has actually occurred.

2.3.1.7.

Required Testing. For calculating deterioration factors at least two Type 1 tests before bench ageing of the emission control hardware and at least two Type 1 tests after the bench-aged emission hardware is reinstalled have to be performed on the test vehicle. Additional testing may be conducted by the manufacturer. Calculation of the deterioration factors has to be done according to the calculation method as specified in Paragraph 6 of Annex 9 to UN/ECE Regulation No 83 as amended by this Regulation.

2.3.2.   Vehicles with Compression Ignition Engines

2.3.2.1.

The following bench ageing procedure is applicable for compression-ignition vehicles including hybrid vehicles. The bench ageing procedure requires the installation of the aftertreatment system on a aftertreatment system ageing bench. Ageing on the bench is conducted by following the standard diesel bench cycle (SDBC) for the number of regenerations/desulphurisations calculated from the bench ageing duration (BAD) equation.

2.3.2.2.

Standard Diesel Bench Cycle (SDBC). Standard bench ageing is conducted following the SDBC. The SDBC shall be run for the period of time calculated from the bench ageing duration (BAD) equation. The SDBC is described in Appendix 2 of this Annex.

2.3.2.3.

Regeneration data. Regeneration intervals shall be measured during at least 10 full cycles of the SRC cycle as described in Appendix 3. As an alternative the intervals from the Ki determination may be used. If applicable, desulphurisation intervals shall also be considered based on manufacturer’s data

2.3.2.4.

Diesel bench-ageing duration. Bench ageing duration is calculated using the BAD equation as follows: Bench-Ageing Duration = number of regeneration and/or desulphurisation cycles (whichever is the longer) equivalent to 160 000 km of driving

2.3.2.5.

Ageing Bench. The ageing bench shall follow the SDBC and deliver appropriate exhaust flow, exhaust constituents, and exhaust temperature to the aftertreatment system inlet. The manufacturer shall record the number of regenerations/desulphurisations (if applicable) to assure that sufficient ageing has actually occurred.

2.3.2.6.

Required Testing. For calculating deterioration factors at least two Type 1 tests before bench ageing of the emission control hardware and at least two Type 1 tests after the bench-aged emission hardware is reinstalled have to be performed. Additional testing may be conducted by the manufacturer. Calculation of the deterioration factors shall be done according to the calculation method set out in Paragraph 6 of Annex 9 to UN/ECE Regulation No 83 and with the additional requirements contained in this Regulation.

Appendix 1

Standard Bench Cycle (SBC)

1.   Introduction

The standard ageing durability procedure consists of ageing a catalyst/oxygen sensor system on an ageing bench which follows the standard bench cycle (SBC) described in this Appendix. The SBC requires use of an ageing bench with an engine as the source of feed gas for the catalyst. The SBC is a 60-second cycle which is repeated as necessary on the ageing bench to conduct ageing for the required period of time. The SBC is defined based on the catalyst temperature, engine air/fuel (A/F) ratio, and the amount of secondary air injection which is added in front of the first catalyst.

2.   Catalyst Temperature Control

2.1.

Catalyst temperature shall be measured in the catalyst bed at the location where the highest temperature occurs in the hottest catalyst. Alternatively, the feed gas temperature may be measured and converted to catalyst bed temperature using a linear transform calculated from correlation data collected on the catalyst design and ageing bench to be used in the ageing process.

2.2.

Control the catalyst temperature at stoichiometric operation (01 to 40 seconds on the cycle) to a minimum of 800 °C (± 10 °C) by selecting the appropriate engine speed, load, and spark timing for the engine. Control the maximum catalyst temperature that occurs during the cycle to 890 °C (± 10 °C) by selecting the appropriate A/F ratio of the engine during the ‘rich’ phase described in the table below.

2.3.

If a low control temperature other than 800 °C is utilized, the high control temperature shall be 90 °C higher than the low control temperature. Standard Bench Cycle (SBC) Time (seconds) Engine Air/Fuel Ratio Secondary Air Injection 1-40 Stoichiometric with load, spark timing and engine speed controlled to achieve a minimum catalyst temperature of 800 °C None 41-45 ‘Rich’ (A/F ratio selected to achieve a maximum catalyst temperature over the entire cycle of 890 °C or 90 °C higher than lower control temperature) None 46-55 ‘Rich’ (A/F ratio selected to achieve a maximum catalyst temperature over the entire cycle of 890 °C or 90 °C higher than lower control temperature) 3 % (± 1 %) 56-60 Stoichiometric with load, spark timing and engine speed controlled to achieve a minimum catalyst temperature of 800 °C 3 % (± 1 %)

3.   Ageing Bench Equipment and Procedures

3.1.

Ageing Bench Configuration. The ageing bench shall provide the appropriate exhaust flow rate, temperature, air-fuel ratio, exhaust constituents and secondary air injection at the inlet face of the catalyst. The standard ageing bench consists of an engine, engine controller, and engine dynamometer. Other configurations may be acceptable (e.g. whole vehicle on a dynamometer, or a burner that provides the correct exhaust conditions), as long as the catalyst inlet conditions and control features specified in this Appendix are met. A single ageing bench may have the exhaust flow split into several streams providing that each exhaust stream meets the requirements of this appendix. If the bench has more than one exhaust stream, multiple catalyst systems may be aged simultaneously.

3.2.

Exhaust System Installation. The entire catalyst(s)-plus-oxygen sensor(s) system, together with all exhaust piping which connects these components, will be installed on the bench. For engines with multiple exhaust streams (such as some V6 and V8 engines), each bank of the exhaust system will be installed separately on the bench in parallel. For exhaust systems that contain multiple in-line catalysts, the entire catalyst system including all catalysts, all oxygen sensors and the associated exhaust piping will be installed as a unit for ageing. Alternatively, each individual catalyst may be separately aged for the appropriate period of time.

3.3.

Temperature Measurement. Catalyst temperature shall be measured using a thermocouple placed in the catalyst bed at the location where the highest temperature occurs in the hottest catalyst. Alternatively, the feed gas temperature just before the catalyst inlet face may be measured and converted to catalyst bed temperature using a linear transform calculated from correlation data collected on the catalyst design and ageing bench to be used in the ageing process. The catalyst temperature shall be stored digitally at the speed of 1 hertz (one measurement per second).

3.4.

Air/Fuel Measurement. Provisions shall be made for the measurement of the air/fuel (A/F) ratio (such as a wide-range oxygen sensor) as close as possible to the catalyst inlet and outlet flanges. The information from these sensors shall be stored digitally at the speed of 1 hertz (one measurement per second).

3.5.

Exhaust Flow Balance. Provisions shall be made to assure that the proper amount of exhaust (measured in grams/second at stoichiometry, with a tolerance of ± 5 grams/second) flows through each catalyst system that is being aged on the bench. The proper flow rate is determined based upon the exhaust flow that would occur in the original vehicle’s engine at the steady state engine speed and load selected for the bench ageing in Paragraph 3.6. of this Appendix.

3.6.

Setup. The engine speed, load, and spark timing are selected to achieve a catalyst bed temperature of 800 °C (± 10 °C) at steady-state stoichiometric operation. The air injection system is set to provide the necessary air flow to produce 3,0 % oxygen (± 0,1 %) in the steady-state stoichiometric exhaust stream just in front of the first catalyst. A typical reading at the upstream A/F measurement point (required in paragraph 5) is lambda 1,16 (which is approximately 3 % oxygen). With the air injection on, set the ‘Rich’ A/F ratio to produce a catalyst bed temperature of 890 °C (± 10 °C). A typical A/F value for this step is lambda 0,94 (approximately 2 % CO).

3.7.	Ageing Cycle. The standard bench ageing procedures use the standard bench cycle (SBC). The SBC is repeated until the amount of ageing calculated from the bench ageing time equation (BAT) is achieved.

3.8.

Quality Assurance. The temperatures and A/F ratio in paragraphs 3.3. and 3.4. of this appendix shall be reviewed periodically (at least every 50 hours) during ageing. Necessary adjustments shall be made to assure that the SBC is being appropriately followed throughout the ageing process. After the ageing has been completed, the catalyst time-at-temperature collected during the ageing process shall be tabulated into a histogram with temperature groups of no larger than 10 °C. The BAT equation and the calculated effective reference temperature for the ageing cycle according to Paragraph 2.3.1.4 of Annex VII will be used to determine if the appropriate amount of thermal ageing of the catalyst has in fact occurred. Bench ageing will be extended if the thermal effect of the calculated ageing time is not at least 95 % of the target thermal ageing.

3.9.	Startup and Shutdown. Care should be taken to assure that the maximum catalyst temperature for rapid deterioration (e.g., 1 050 °C) does not occur during startup or shutdown. Special low temperature startup and shutdown procedures may be used to alleviate this concern.

4.   Experimentally Determining the R-Factor for Bench Ageing Durability Procedures

4.1.

The R-Factor is the catalyst thermal reactivity coefficient used in the bench ageing time (BAT) equation. Manufacturers may determine the value of R experimentally using the following procedures. 4.1.1. Using the applicable bench cycle and ageing bench hardware, age several catalysts (minimum of 3 of the same catalyst design) at different control temperatures between the normal operating temperature and the damage limit temperature. Measure emissions (or catalyst inefficiency (1-catalyst efficiency)) for each exhaust constituent. Assure that the final testing yields data between one- and two-times the emission standard. 4.1.2. Estimate the value of R and calculate the effective reference temperature (Tr) for the bench ageing cycle for each control temperature according to Paragraph 2.4.4 of Annex VII. 4.1.3. Plot emissions (or catalyst inefficiency) versus ageing time for each catalyst. Calculate the least-squared best-fit line through the data. For the data set to be useful for this purpose the data should have an approximately common intercept between 0 and 6 400 km. See the following graph for an example. 4.1.4. Calculate the slope of the best-fit line for each ageing temperature. 4.1.5. Plot the natural log (ln) of the slope of each best-fit line (determined in step 4.1.4.) along the vertical axis, versus the inverse of ageing temperature (1/(ageing temperature, deg K)) along the horizontal axis, Calculate the least squared best-fit lines through the data. The slope of the line is the R-factor. See the following graph for an example. 4.1.6. Compare the R-factor to the initial value that was used in Step 4.1.2. If the calculated R-factor differs from the initial value by more than 5 %, choose a new R-factor that is between the initial and calculated values, and then repeat Steps 2-6 to derive a new R-factor. Repeat this process until the calculated R-factor is within 5 % of the initially assumed R-factor. 4.1.7. Compare the R-factor determined separately for each exhaust constituent. Use the lowest R-factor (worst case) for the BAT equation.

Appendix 2

Standard Diesel Bench Cycle (SDBC)

1.   Introduction

For particulate filters, the number of regenerations is critical to the ageing process. For systems that require desulphurisation cycles (e.g. NOx storage catalysts), this process is also significant.

The standard diesel bench ageing durability procedure consists of ageing an aftertreatment system on an ageing bench which follows the standard bench cycle (SDBC) described in this Appendix. The SDBC requires use of an ageing bench with an engine as the source of feed gas for the system.

During the SDBC, the regeneration/desulphurisation strategies of the system shall remain in normal operating condition.

2.

The Standard Diesel Bench Cycle reproduces the engine speed and load conditions that are encountered in the SRC cycle as appropriate to the period for which durability is to be determined. In order to accelerate the process of ageing, the engine settings on the test bench may be modified to reduce the system loading times. For example the fuel injection timing or EGR strategy may be modified.

3.

Ageing Bench Equipment and Procedures 3.1. The standard ageing bench consists of an engine, engine controller, and engine dynamometer. Other configurations may be acceptable (e.g. whole vehicle on a dynamometer, or a burner that provides the correct exhaust conditions), as long as the aftertreatment system inlet conditions and control features specified in this Appendix are met. A single ageing bench may have the exhaust flow split into several streams providing that each exhaust stream meets the requirements of this appendix. If the bench has more than one exhaust stream, multiple aftertreatment systems may be aged simultaneously. 3.2. Exhaust System Installation. The entire aftertreatment system, together with all exhaust piping which connects these components, will be installed on the bench. For engines with multiple exhaust streams (such as some V6 and V8 engines), each bank of the exhaust system will be installed separately on the bench. The entire aftertreatment system will be installed as a unit for ageing. Alternatively, each individual component may be separately aged for the appropriate period of time.

Key: PI = Positive Ignition, CI = Compression Ignition. ▼M2 Explanatory note: The OBD thresholds set out in the table are subject to a review to be conducted by the Commission by 1 September 2014. Where the thresholds appear to be not technically feasible, their values or the mandatory date of application are to be amended accordingly, considering the effects of other new requirements and tests that will be introduced for Euro 6 vehicles. Where the review shows an environmental need as well as technical feasibility and a net monetised benefit, more stringent values need to be adopted and OBD threshold limits for particle numbers or, where applicable, other regulated pollutants introduced. In doing so, appropriate lead time for introducing the technical developments has to be given to the industry. 2.3.4. Until three years after the dates specified in Article 10(4) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 for new type approvals and new vehicles respectively, the following OBD threshold limits shall be applied to vehicles that are type approved according to the Euro 6 emission limits set out in Table 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, upon the choice of the manufacturer: ▼M8 Preliminary Euro 6 OBD threshold limits     Reference mass (RM) (kg) Mass of carbon monoxide Mass of non‐methane hydrocarbons Mass of oxides of nitrogen Mass of particulate matter (1)   (CO) (mg/km) (NMHC) (mg/km) (NOx) (mg/km) (PM) (mg/km) Category Class   PI CI PI CI PI CI CI PI M — All 1 900 1 750 170 290 150 180 25 25 N1 I RM ≤ 1 305 1 900 1 750 170 290 150 180 25 25   II 1 305 < RM ≤ 1 760 3 400 2 200 225 320 190 220 25 25   III 1 760 < RM 4 300 2 500 270 350 210 280 30 30 N2 — All 4 300 2 500 270 350 210 280 30 30 (1)   Positive ignition particulate mass limits apply only to vehicles with direct injection engines. Key: PI = Positive Ignition, CI = Compression Ignition ▼B

2.4.

In addition to the provisions of section 3.2.1 of Annex 11 to UN/ECE Regulation 83 the manufacturer may temporarily disable the OBD system in the following conditions: (a) For flex fuel or mono/bi fuel gas vehicles during 1 minute after re-fuelling to allow for the recognition of fuel quality and composition by the ECU; (b) For bi fuel vehicles during 5 seconds after fuel switching to allow for readjusting engine parameters. The manufacturer may deviate from these time limits if it can demonstrate that stabilisation of the fuelling system after re-fuelling or fuel switching takes longer for justified technical reasons. In any case, the OBD system shall be re-enabled as soon as either the fuel quality and composition is recognised or the engine parameters are readjusted.

▼M8

2.5.

Manufacturers may monitor the front catalyst alone or in combination with the next catalyst(s) downstream. Each monitored catalyst or catalyst combination shall be considered malfunctioning when the emissions exceed the NMHC or NOx threshold limits provided for in Section 2.3 of this Annex. By way of derogation, the requirement of monitoring the reduction in the efficiency of the catalytic converter with respect to NOx emissions shall only apply as from the dates set out in Article 17.

▼B

2.6.	Section 3.3.3.3 of Annex 11 to UN/ECE Regulation 83 shall mean that the deterioration of all oxygen sensors fitted and used for monitoring malfunctions of the catalytic converter according to the requirements of this Annex shall be monitored.

2.10.

In addition to the requirements of section 3.3.4 of Annex 11 to UN/ECE Regulation 83, malfunctions and the reduction in efficiency of NOx aftertreatment not using a reagent shall be monitored.

2.11.

In addition to the requirements of section 6.3.2 of Appendix 1 to Annex 11 to UN/ECE Regulation 83, the manufacturer shall demonstrate that malfunctions of the EGR flow and cooler are detected by the OBD system during its approval test.

▼M2

2.14.

Contrary to point 3.3.5 of Annex 11 to UN/ECE Regulation No 83, the following devices shall be monitored for total failure or removal if the latter resulted in exceeding the applicable emission limits: — as from 1 September 2011, a particulate trap fitted to compression ignition engines as a separate unit or integrated into a combined emission control device, — for vehicles certified against either the OBD threshold limits shown in the tables set out in point 2.3.3 or 2.3.4, a NOx aftertreatment system fitted to compression ignition engines as a separate unit or integrated into a combined emission control device, — for vehicles certified against either the OBD threshold limits shown in the tables set out in point 2.3.3 or 2.3.4, a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) fitted to compression ignition engines as a separate unit or integrated into a combined emission control device. The devices referred to in the first paragraph shall also be monitored for any failure that would result in exceeding the applicable OBD threshold limits.

3.6.

Deficiency period 3.6.1. A deficiency may be carried-over for a period of two years after the date of type-approval of the vehicle type unless it can be adequately demonstrated that substantial vehicle hardware modifications and additional lead-time beyond two years would be necessary to correct the deficiency. In such a case, the deficiency may be carried-over for a period not exceeding three years. 3.6.2. A manufacturer may request that the approval authority grant a deficiency retrospectively when such a deficiency is discovered after the original type-approval. In this case, the deficiency may be carried-over for a period of two years after the date of notification to the approval authority unless it can be adequately demonstrated that substantial vehicle hardware modifications and additional lead-time beyond two years would be necessary to correct the deficiency. In such a case, the deficiency may be carried-over for a period not exceeding three years.

3.7.	The approval authority shall notify its decision in granting a deficiency request in accordance with Article 6(2).

3.   IN-USE PERFORMANCE

3.1.   General Requirements

3.1.1.

Each monitor of the OBD system shall be executed at least once per driving cycle in which the monitoring conditions as specified in section 3.2 are met. Manufacturers may not use the calculated ratio (or any element thereof) or any other indication of monitor frequency as a monitoring condition for any monitor.

3.1.2.

The in-use performance ratio (IUPR) of a specific monitor M of the OBD system referred to in Article 5(3) shall be: IUPRM = NumeratorM/DenominatorM

3.1.3.

Comparison of Numerator and Denominator gives an indication of how often a specific monitor is operating relative to vehicle operation. To ensure all manufacturers are tracking IUPRM in the same manner, detailed requirements are given for defining and incrementing these counters.

3.1.4.

If, according to the requirements of this Annex, the vehicle is equipped with a specific monitor M, IUPRM shall be greater or equal to the following minimum values: (i) 0,260 for secondary air system monitors and other cold start related monitors (ii) 0,520 for evaporative emission purge control monitors (iii) 0,336 for all other monitors

3.1.5.

Vehicles shall comply with the requirements of section 3.1.4 for a mileage of at least 160 000 km. By way of derogation, vehicles type approved, registered, sold or entered into service before the relevant dates given in Article 10(4), (5) of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, shall have an IUPRM greater or equal 0,1 for all monitors M. ►M2  For new type approvals and new vehicles the monitor required by point 2.9 of this Annex shall have an IUPR greater or equal to 0,1 until three years after the dates specified in Article 10(4) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 respectively. ◄

▼M1

3.1.7.

The manufacturer shall demonstrate to the approval authority and, upon request, to the Commission that these statistical conditions are satisfied for all monitors required to be reported by the OBD system according to point 3.6 of this Appendix not later than 18 months after the entry onto the market of the first vehicle type with IUPR in an OBD family and every 18 months thereafter. For this purpose, for OBD families consisting of more than 1 000 registrations in the Union, that are subject to sampling within the sampling period, the process described in Annex II shall be used without prejudice to the provisions of point 3.1.9 of this Appendix. In addition to the requirements set out in Annex II and regardless of the result of the audit described in Section 2 of Annex II, the authority granting the approval shall apply the in-service conformity check for IUPR described in Appendix 1 to Annex II in an appropriate number of randomly determined cases. ‘In an appropriate number of randomly determined cases’ means, that this measure has a dissuasive effect on non-compliance with the requirements of Section 3 of this Annex or the provision of manipulated, false or non-representative data for the audit. If no special circumstances apply and can be demonstrated by the type-approval authorities, random application of the in-service conformity check to 5 % of the type approved OBD families shall be considered as sufficient for compliance with this requirement. For this purpose, type-approval authorities may find arrangements with the manufacturer for the reduction of double testing of a given OBD family as long as these arrangements do not harm the dissuasive effect of the type-approval authority’s own in-service conformity check on non-compliance with the requirements of Section 3 of this Annex. Data collected by Member States during surveillance testing programmes may be used for in-service conformity checks. Upon request, type-approval authorities shall provide data on the audits and random in-service conformity checks performed, including the methodology used for identifying those cases, which are made subject to the random in-service conformity check, to the Commission and other type-approval authorities.

3.1.8.

For the entire test sample of vehicles the manufacturer must report to the relevant authorities all of the in-use performance data to be reported by the OBD system according to point 3.6 of this Appendix in conjunction with an identification of the vehicle being tested and the methodology used for the selection of the tested vehicles from the fleet. Upon request, the type-approval authority granting the approval shall make these data and the results of the statistical evaluation available to the Commission and other approval authorities.

▼B

3.1.9.

Public authorities and their delegates may pursue further tests on vehicles or collect appropriate data recorded by vehicles to verify compliance with the requirements of this Annex.

▼M1

3.1.10.

Non-compliance with the requirements of point 3.1.6 established by tests described in points 3.1.7 or 3.1.9 shall be considered as an infringement subject to the penalties set out in Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007. This reference does not limit the application of such penalties to other infringements of other provisions of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 or this Regulation, which do no explicitly refer to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007.

▼B

3.2.   NumeratorM

3.2.1.

The numerator of a specific monitor is a counter measuring the number of times a vehicle has been operated such that all monitoring conditions necessary for the specific monitor to detect a malfunction in order to warn the driver, as they have been implemented by the manufacturer, have been encountered. The numerator shall not be incremented more than once per driving cycle, unless there is reasoned technical justification.

3.3.   DenominatorM

3.3.1.

The purpose of the denominator is to provide a counter indicating the number of vehicle driving events, taking into account special conditions for a specific monitor. The denominator shall be incremented at least once per driving cycle, if during this driving cycle such conditions are met and the general denominator is incremented as specified in section 3.5 unless the denominator is disabled according to section 3.7 of this Appendix.

3.3.2.

In addition to the requirements of section 3.3.1: (a) Secondary air system monitor denominator(s) shall be incremented if the commanded ‘on’ operation of the secondary air system occurs for a time greater than or equal to 10 seconds. For purposes of determining this commanded ‘on’ time, the OBD system may not include time during intrusive operation of the secondary air system solely for the purposes of monitoring; (b) Denominators of monitors of systems only active during cold start shall be incremented if the component or strategy is commanded ‘on’ for a time greater than or equal to 10 seconds; (c) The denominator(s) for monitors of Variable Valve Timing (VVT) and/or control systems shall be incremented if the component is commanded to function (e.g., commanded ‘on’, ‘open’, ‘closed’, ‘locked’, etc.) on two or more occasions during the driving cycle or for a time greater than or equal to 10 seconds, whichever occurs first; (d) For the following monitors, the denominator(s) shall be incremented by one if, in addition to meeting the requirements of this section on at least one driving cycle, at least 800 cumulative kilometres of vehicle operation have been experienced since the last time the denominator was incremented: (i) Diesel oxidation catalyst (ii) Diesel particulate filter; ▼M1 (e) Without prejudice to requirements for the increment of denominators of other monitors the denominators of monitors of the following components shall be incremented if and only if the driving cycle started with a cold start: (i) liquid (oil, engine coolant, fuel, SCR reagent) temperature sensors; (ii) clean air (ambient air, intake air, charge air, inlet manifold) temperature sensors; (iii) exhaust (EGR recirculation/cooling, exhaust gas turbo-charging, catalyst) temperature sensors; (f) The denominators of monitors of the boost pressure control system shall be incremented if the all of the following conditions are met: (i) the general denominator conditions are fulfilled; (ii) the boost pressure control system is active for a time greater than or equal to 15 seconds. ▼B

3.3.3.

For hybrid vehicles, vehicles that employ alternative engine start hardware or strategies (e.g. integrated starter and generators), or alternative fuel vehicles (e.g. dedicated, bi-fuel, or dual-fuel applications), the manufacturer may request the approval of the approval authority to use alternative criteria to those set forth in this section for incrementing the denominator. In general, the approval authority shall not approve alternative criteria for vehicles that only employ engine shut off at or near idle/vehicle stop conditions. Approval by the approval authority of the alternative criteria shall be based on the equivalence of the alternative criteria to determine the amount of vehicle operation relative to the measure of conventional vehicle operation in accordance with the criteria in this section.

3.4.   Ignition Cycle Counter

3.4.1.

The ignition cycle counter indicates the number of ignition cycles a vehicle has experienced. The ignition cycle counter may not be incremented more than once per driving cycle.

3.5.   General Denominator

3.5.1.

The general denominator is a counter measuring the number of times a vehicle has been operated. It shall be incremented within 10 seconds, if and only if, the following criteria are satisfied on a single driving cycle: — Cumulative time since engine start is greater than or equal to 600 seconds while at an elevation of less than 2 440 m above sea level and at an ambient temperature of greater than or equal to – 7 °C., — Cumulative vehicle operation at or above 40 km/h occurs for greater than or equal to 300 seconds while at an elevation of less than 2 440 m above sea level and at an ambient temperature of greater than or equal to – 7 °C., — Continuous vehicle operation at idle (i.e. accelerator pedal released by driver and vehicle speed less than or equal to 1,6 km/h) for greater than or equal to 30 seconds while at an elevation of less than 2 440 m above sea level and at an ambient temperature of greater than or equal to – 7 °C.

3.6.   Reporting and increasing counters

3.6.1.

The OBD system shall report in accordance with the ISO 15031-5 specifications the ignition cycle counter and general denominator as well as separate numerators and denominators for the following monitors, if their presence on the vehicle is required by this Annex: — Catalysts (each bank to be reported separately), — Oxygen/exhaust gas sensors, including secondary oxygen sensors (each sensor to be reported separately), — Evaporative system, — EGR system, — VVT system, — Secondary air system, — Particulate filter, — NOx aftertreatment system (e.g. NOx adsorber, NOx reagent/catalyst system), — Boost pressure control system,

▼M1

3.6.2.

For specific components or systems that have multiple monitors, which are required to be reported by this point (e.g. oxygen sensor bank 1 may have multiple monitors for sensor response or other sensor characteristics), the OBD system shall separately track numerators and denominators for each of the specific monitors except those monitoring for short circuit or open circuit failures and report only the corresponding numerator and denominator for the specific monitor that has the lowest numerical ratio. If two or more specific monitors have identical ratios, the corresponding numerator and denominator for the specific monitor that has the highest denominator shall be reported for the specific component.

▼B

3.6.3.

All counters, when incremented, shall be incremented by an integer of one.

3.6.4.

The minimum value of each counter is 0, the maximum value shall not be less than 65 535 , notwithstanding any other requirements on standardised storage and reporting of the OBD system.

3.6.5.

If either the numerator or denominator for a specific monitor reaches its maximum value, both counters for that specific monitor shall be divided by two before being incremented again according to the provisions set in sections 3.2 and 3.3. If the ignition cycle counter or the general denominator reaches its maximum value, the respective counter shall change to zero at its next increment according to the provisions set in sections 3.4 and 3.5, respectively.

3.6.6.

Each counter shall be reset to zero only when a non-volatile memory reset occurs (e.g. reprogramming event, etc.) or, if the numbers are stored in keep-alive memory (KAM), when KAM is lost due to an interruption in electrical power to the control module (e.g. battery disconnect, etc.).

3.6.7.

The manufacturer shall take measures to ensure that the values of numerator and denominator can not be reset or modified, except in cases provided for explicitly in this section.

3.7.   Disablement of Numerators and Denominators and of the General Denominator

3.7.1.

Within 10 seconds of a malfunction being detected, which disables a monitor required to meet the monitoring conditions of this Annex (i.e. a pending or confirmed code is stored), the OBD system shall disable further incrementing of the corresponding numerator and denominator for each monitor that is disabled. When the malfunction is no longer detected (i.e., the pending code is erased through self-clearing or through a scan tool command), incrementing of all corresponding numerators and denominators shall resume within 10 seconds.

3.7.2.

Within 10 seconds of the start of a power take-off operation (PTO) operation that disables a monitor required to meet the monitoring conditions of this Annex, the OBD system shall disable further incrementing of the corresponding numerator and denominator for each monitor that is disabled. When the PTO operation ends, incrementing of all corresponding numerators and denominators shall resume within 10 seconds.

3.7.3.

The OBD system shall disable further incrementing of the numerator and denominator of a specific monitor within 10 seconds, if a malfunction of any component used to determine the criteria within the definition of the specific monitor’s denominator (i.e. vehicle speed, ambient temperature, elevation, idle operation, engine cold start, or time of operation) has been detected and the corresponding pending fault code has been stored. Incrementing of the numerator and denominator shall resume within 10 seconds when the malfunction is no longer present (e.g. pending code erased through self-clearing or by a scan tool command).

3.7.4.

The OBD system shall disable further incrementing of the general denominator within 10 seconds, if a malfunction has been detected of any component used to determine whether the criteria in section 3.5 are satisfied (i.e. vehicle speed, ambient temperature, elevation, idle operation, or time of operation) and the corresponding pending fault code has been stored. The general denominator may not be disabled from incrementing for any other condition. Incrementing of the general denominator shall resume within 10 seconds when the malfunction is no longer present (e.g., pending code erased through self-clearing or by a scan tool command).

The manufacturer shall be consulted on the choice of the vehicles in the sample and be allowed to attend the confirmatory checks of the vehicles. 3.3. The manufacturer shall be authorized, under the supervision of the approval authority, to carry out checks, even of a destructive nature, on those vehicles with emission levels in excess of the limit values with a view to establishing possible causes of deterioration which cannot be attributed to the manufacturer himself. Where the results of the checks confirm such causes, those test results are excluded from the conformity check. 3.4. Where the approval authority is not satisfied with the results of the tests in accordance with the criteria defined in Appendix 2, the remedial measures referred to to in Article 11(2) and in Annex X to Directive 70/156/EEC are extended to vehicles in service belonging to the same vehicle type which are likely to be affected with the same defects in accordance with section 6 of Appendix 1. The plan of remedial measures presented by the manufacturer shall be approved by the approval authority. The manufacturer is responsible for the execution of the remedial plan as approved. The approval authority shall notify its decision to all Member States within 30 days. The Member States may require that the same plan of remedial measures be applied to all vehicles of the same type registered in their territory. 3.5. If a Member State has established that a vehicle type does not conform to the applicable requirements of Appendix 1 to this Annex, it shall notify without delay the Member State which granted the original type-approval in accordance with the requirements of Article 11(3) of Directive 70/156/EEC. After that notification and subject to the provision of Article 11(6) of Directive 70/156/EEC, the competent authority of the Member State which granted the original type-approval shall inform the manufacturer that a vehicle type fails to satisfy the requirements of these provisions and that certain measures are expected of the manufacturer. The manufacturer shall submit to the authority, within two months after this notification, a plan of measures to overcome the defects, the substance of which should correspond to the requirements of sections 6.1 to 6,8 of Appendix 1. The competent authority which granted the original type-approval shall, within two months, consult the manufacturer in order to secure agreement on a plan of measures and on carrying out the plan. If the competent authority which granted the original type-approval establishes that no agreement can be reached, the procedure pursuant to Article 11(3) and (4) of Directive 70/156/EEC shall be initiated.

Appendix 1

In-service conformity check

1.   INTRODUCTION

This Appendix sets out the criteria for the in-service conformity control of vehicles type-approved under Directive 70/220/EEC.

2.   SELECTION CRITERIA

The criteria for acceptance of a selected vehicle are defined in sections 2.1 to 2.8. Information shall be collected by the approval authority by vehicle examination and an interview with the owner/driver.

2.1.	The vehicle shall belong to a vehicle type that is type-approved under Directive 70/220/EEC and covered by a certificate of conformity in accordance with Directive 70/156/EEC. The vehicle shall be registered and used in the European Community.

2.2.	The vehicle shall have been in service for at least 15 000 km or 6 months, whichever is the later, and for no more than 100 000 km or 5 years, whichever is the sooner.

2.3.	There shall be a maintenance record to show that the vehicle has been properly maintained, e. g. has been serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.

2.4.

The vehicle shall exhibit no indications of abuse (e. g. racing, overloading, misfuelling, or other misuse), or other factors (e. g. tampering) that could affect emission performance. In the case of vehicles fitted with an OBD system, the fault code and mileage information stored in the computer are taken into account. A vehicle shall not be selected for testing if the information stored in the computer shows that the vehicle has operated after a fault code was stored and a relatively prompt repair was not carried out.

2.5.	There shall have been no unauthorized major repair to the engine or major repair of the vehicle.

2.6.	The lead content and sulphur content of a fuel sample from the vehicle tank shall meet the applicable standards laid down in Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 63 ) and there shall be no evidence of misfuelling. Checks may be done in the tailpipe etc.

2.7.	There shall be no indication of any problem that might jeopardize the safety of laboratory personnel.

2.8.	All anti-pollution system components on the vehicle shall be in conformity with the applicable type-approval.

3.   DIAGNOSIS AND MAINTENANCE

Diagnosis and any normal maintenance necessary shall be performed on vehicles accepted for testing, prior to measuring exhaust emissions, in accordance with the procedure laid down in section 3.1 to 3.7.

3.1.

The following checks shall be carried out: checks on air filter, all drive belts, all fluid levels, radiator cap, all vacuum hoses and electrical wiring related to the antipollution system for integrity; checks on ignition, fuel metering and pollution control device components for maladjustments and/or tampering. All discrepancies shall be recorded.

3.2.

The OBD system shall be checked for proper functioning. Any malfunction indications in the OBD memory shall be recorded and the requisite repairs shall be carried out. If the OBD malfunction indicator registers a malfunction during a preconditioning cycle, the fault may be identified and repaired. The test may be re-run and the results of that repaired vehicle used.

3.3.	The ignition system shall be checked and defective components replaced, for example spark plugs, cables, etc.

3.4.	The compression shall be checked. If the result is unsatisfactory the vehicle shall be rejected.

3.5.	The engine parameters shall be checked to the manufacturer’s specifications and adjusted if necessary.

3.6.	If the vehicle is within 800 km of a scheduled maintenance service, that service shall be performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Regardless of odometer reading, the oil and air filter may be changed at the request of the manufacturer.

3.7.	Upon acceptance of the vehicle, the fuel shall be replaced with appropriate emission test reference fuel, unless the manufacturer accepts the use of market fuel.

4.   IN-SERVICE TESTING

4.1.	When a check on vehicles is deemed necessary, emission tests in accordance with Annex III to Directive 70/220/EEC shall be performed on pre-conditioned vehicles selected in accordance with the requirements of sections 2 and 3 of this Appendix.

4.2.	Vehicles equipped with an OBD system may be checked for proper in-service functionality of the malfunction indication, etc., in relation to levels of emissions (e. g. the malfunction indication limits defined in Annex XI to Directive 70/220/EEC) for the type-approved specifications.

4.3.	The OBD system may be checked, for example, for levels of emissions above the applicable limit values with no malfunction indication, systematic erroneous activation of the malfunction indication and identified faulty or deteriorated components in the OBD system.

4.4.

If a component or system operates in a manner not covered by the particulars in the type-approval certificate and/or information package for such vehicle types and such deviation has not been authorized under Article 5(3) or (4) of Directive 70/156/EEC, with no malfunction indication by the OBD, the component or system shall not be replaced prior to emission testing, unless it is determined that the component or system has been tampered with or abused in such a manner that the OBD does not detect the resulting malfunction.

5.   EVALUATION OF RESULTS

5.1.	The test results are submitted to the evaluation procedure in accordance with Appendix 2 to this Annex.

5.2.	Test results shall not be multiplied by deterioration factors.

6.   PLAN OF REMEDIAL MEASURES

6.1.

ANNEX XVI

REQUIREMENTS FOR VEHICLES THAT USE A REAGENT FOR THE EXHAUST AFTERTREATMENT SYSTEM

1.   INTRODUCTION

This Annex sets out the requirements for vehicles that rely on the use of a reagent for the aftertreatment system in order to reduce emissions.

2.   REAGENT INDICATION

2.1.	The vehicle shall include a specific indicator on the dashboard that informs the driver of low levels of reagent in the reagent storage tank and of when the reagent tank becomes empty.

3.   DRIVER WARNING SYSTEM

3.1.

The vehicle shall include a warning system consisting of visual alarms that informs the driver when the reagent level is low, that the tank soon needs to be refilled, or the reagent is not of a quality specified by the manufacturer. The warning system may also include an audible component to alert the driver.

3.2.	The warning system shall escalate in intensity as the reagent approaches empty. It shall culminate in a driver notification that can not be easily defeated or ignored. It shall not be possible to turn off the system until the reagent has been replenished.

3.3.

The visual warning shall display a message indicating a low level of reagent. The warning shall not be the same as the warning used for the purposes of OBD or other engine maintenance. The warning shall be sufficiently clear for the driver to understand that the reagent level is low (e.g. ‘urea level low’, ‘AdBlue level low’, or ‘reagent low’).

3.4.

The warning system does not initially need to be continuously activated, however the warning shall escalate so that it becomes continuous as the level of the reagent approaches the point where the driver inducement system in Section 8 comes into effect. An explicit warning shall be displayed (e.g. ‘fill up urea’, ‘fill up AdBlue’, or ‘fill up reagent’). The continuous warning system may be temporarily interrupted by other warning signals providing important safety related messages.

3.5.	The warning system shall activate at a distance equivalent to a driving range of at least 2 400 km in advance to the reagent tank becoming empty.

4.   IDENTIFICATION OF INCORRECT REAGENT

4.1.	The vehicle shall include a means of determining that a reagent corresponding to the characteristics declared by the manufacturer and recorded in Appendix 3 to Annex I to this Regulation is present on the vehicle.

4.2.

If the reagent in the storage tank does not correspond to the minimum requirements declared by the manufacturer the driver warning system in section 3 shall be activated and shall display a message indicating an appropriate warning (e.g. ‘incorrect urea detected’, ‘incorrect AdBlue detected’, or ‘incorrect reagent detected’). If the reagent quality is not rectified within 50 km of the activation of the warning system then the driver inducement requirements of section 8 shall apply.

5.   REAGENT CONSUMPTION MONITORING

5.1.	The vehicle shall include a means of determining reagent consumption and providing off-board access to consumption information.

5.2.	Average reagent consumption and average demanded reagent consumption by the engine system shall be available via the serial port of the standard diagnostic connector. Data shall be available over the previous complete 2 400 km period of vehicle operation.

5.3.

In order to monitor reagent consumption, at least the following parameters within the vehicle shall be monitored: (a) the level of reagent in the on-vehicle storage tank; (b) the flow of reagent or injection of reagent as close as technically possible to the point of injection into an exhaust aftertreatment system.

5.4.

A deviation of more than 50 % between the average reagent consumption and the average demanded reagent consumption by the engine system over a period of 30 minutes of vehicle operation, shall result in the activation of the driver warning system in section 3, which shall display a message indicating an appropriate warning (e.g. ‘urea dosing malfunction’, ‘AdBlue dosing malfunction’, or ‘reagent dosing malfunction’). If the reagent consumption is not rectified within 50 km of the activation of the warning system then the driver inducement requirements of section 8 shall apply.

5.5.

In the case of interruption in reagent dosing activity the driver warning system as referred to in section 3 shall be activated, which shall display a message indicating an appropriate warning. This activation shall not be required where the interruption is demanded by the engine ECU because the vehicle operating conditions are such that the vehicle's emission performance does not require reagent dosing, provided that the manufacturer has clearly informed the approval authority when such operating conditions apply. If the reagent dosing is not rectified within 50 km of the activation of the warning system then the driver inducement requirements of section 8 shall apply.

6.   MONITORING NOx EMISSIONS

6.1.	As an alternative to the monitoring requirements in section 4 and 5 manufacturers may use exhaust gas sensors directly to sense excess NOx levels in the exhaust.

▼M2

6.2.

The manufacturer shall demonstrate that use of the sensors referred to in point 6.1 and any other sensors on the vehicle, results in the activation of the driver warning system as referred to in point 3, the display of a message indicating an appropriate warning (e.g. ‘emissions too high — check urea’, ‘emissions too high — check AdBlue’, ‘emissions too high — check reagent’), and the driver inducement system as referred to in point 8.3, when the situations referred to in points 4.2, 5.4 or 5.5 occur. For the purposes of this point these situations are presumed to occur: — in the case of vehicles approved to the Euro 5 emission limits of Table 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, if the applicable NOx emission limit of that table multiplied by a factor of 1,5, is exceeded, — in the case of vehicles approved to the Euro 6 emission limits of Table 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, if the applicable NOx OBD threshold limit of the tables set out in points 2.3.2, 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 of Annex XI is exceeded. NOx emissions during the test to demonstrate compliance with these requirements shall be no more than 20 % higher than the values referred to in the second paragraph.

▼B

7.   STORAGE OF FAILURE INFORMATION

▼M1

7.1.

Where reference is made to this point, non-erasable Parameter Identifiers (PID) shall be stored identifying the reason for and the distance travelled by the vehicle during the inducement system activation. The vehicle shall retain a record of the PID for at least 800 days or 30 000 km of vehicle operation. The PID shall be made available via the serial port of a standard diagnostic connector upon request of a generic scan tool according to the provisions of point 6.5.3.1 of Appendix 1 to Annex 11 to UN/ECE Regulation No 83 and point 2.5 of Appendix 1 to Annex XI to this Regulation. From the dates referred to in Article 17, the information stored in the PID shall be linked to the period of cumulated vehicle operation, during which it has occurred, with an accuracy of not less than 300 days or 10 000 km.

▼B

7.2.	Malfunctions in the reagent dosing system attributed to technical failures (e.g. mechanical or electrical faults) shall also be subject to the OBD requirements in Annex XI.

8.   DRIVER INDUCEMENT SYSTEM

8.1.	The vehicle shall include a driver inducement system to ensure that the vehicle operates with a functioning emissions control system at all times. The inducement system shall be designed so as to ensure that the vehicle can not operate with an empty reagent tank.

8.2.

The inducement system shall activate at the latest when the level of reagent in the tank reaches a level equivalent to the average driving range of the vehicle with a complete tank of fuel. The system shall also activate when the failures in sections 4, 5 or 6 have occurred, depending on the NOx monitoring approach. The detection of an empty reagent tank and the failures mentioned in sections 4, 5 or 6 shall result in the failure information storage requirements of section 7 coming into effect.

8.3.

The manufacturer shall select which type of inducement system to install. The options for a system are described in following points 8.3.1, 8.3.2, 8.3.3 and 8.3.4. 8.3.1. A ‘no engine restart after countdown’ approach allows a countdown of restarts or distance remaining once the inducement system activates. Engine starts initiated by the vehicle control system, such as start-stop systems, are not included in this countdown. Engine restarts shall be prevented immediately after the reagent tank becomes empty or a distance equivalent to a complete tank of fuel has been exceeded since the activation of the inducement system, whichever occurs earlier. 8.3.2. A ‘no start after refuelling’ system results in a vehicle being unable to start after re-fuelling if the inducement system has activated. 8.3.3. A ‘fuel-lockout’ approach prevents the vehicle from being refuelled by locking the fuel filler system after the inducement system activates. The lockout system shall be robust to prevent it being tampered with. 8.3.4. A ‘performance restriction’ approach restricts the speed of the vehicle after the inducement system activates. The level of speed limitation shall be noticeable to the driver and significantly reduce the maximum speed of the vehicle. Such limitation shall enter into operation gradually or after an engine start. Shortly before engine restarts are prevented, the speed of the vehicle shall not exceed 50 km/h. Engine restarts shall be prevented immediately after the reagent tank becomes empty or a distance equivalent to a complete tank of fuel has been exceeded since the activation of inducement system, whichever occurs earlier.

8.4.

Once the inducement system has fully activated and disabled the vehicle, the inducement system shall only be deactivated if the quantity of reagent added to the vehicle is equivalent to 2 400 km average driving range, or the failures specified in sections 4, 5, or 6 have been rectified. After a repair has been carried out to correct a fault where the OBD system has been triggered under point 7.2, the inducement system may be reinitialised via the OBD serial port (e.g. by a generic scan tool) to enable the vehicle to be restarted for self-diagnosis purposes. The vehicle shall operate for a maximum of 50 km to enable the success of the repair to be validated. The inducement system shall be fully reactivated if the fault persists after this validation.

8.5.	The driver warning system referred to in section 3 shall display a message indicating clearly: (a) the number of remaining restarts and/or the remaining distance; and (b) the conditions under which the vehicle can be restarted.

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

8.7.	Detailed written information fully describing the functional operation characteristics of the driver inducement system shall be provided to the approval authority at the time of approval.

8.8.	As part of the application for type-approval under this Regulation, the manufacturer shall demonstrate the operation of the driver warning and inducement systems.

9.   INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS

9.1.

The manufacturer shall provide all owners of new vehicles written information about the emission control system. This information shall state that if the vehicle emission control system is not functioning correctly, the driver shall be informed of a problem by the driver warning system and that the driver inducement system shall consequentially result in the vehicle being unable to start.

9.2.	The instructions shall indicate requirements for the proper use and maintenance of vehicles, including the proper use of consumable reagents.

9.3.

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

9.4.	The instructions shall specify that use of, and refilling of, a required reagent of the correct specifications is mandatory for the vehicle to comply with the certificate of conformity issued for that vehicle type.

9.5.	The instructions shall state that it may be a criminal offence to use a vehicle that does not consume any reagent if it is required for the reduction of emissions.

9.6.	The instructions shall explain how the warning system and driver inducement systems work. In addition, the consequences of ignoring the warning system and not replenishing the reagent shall be explained.

10.   OPERATING CONDITIONS OF THE AFTERTREATMENT SYSTEM

Manufacturers shall ensure that the emission control system retains its emission control function during all ambient conditions regularly found in the European Union, especially at low ambient temperatures. This includes taking measures to prevent the complete freezing of the reagent during parking times of up to 7 days at 258 K (– 15 °C) with the reagent tank 50 % full. If the reagent has frozen, the manufacturer shall ensure that reagent shall be available for use within 20 minutes of the vehicle starting at 258 K (– 15 °C) measured inside the reagent tank, so as to ensure correct operation of the emission control system.
