"Brake torque" means the product of the frictional forces resulting from the tangential actuating forces in a brake assembly and the distance between the points of generation of these frictional forces and the axis of rotation. The brake torque is a function of the hydraulic piston area, the apparent friction coefficient, and the effective brake radius of the brake corner.

3.1.18.

"Hydraulic pressure" means the net pressure supplied by the brake to generate clamping force between the brake and friction material. The hydraulic pressure, combined with the brake effectiveness, brake calliper or brake drum efficiency, threshold pressure and the effective brake radius, induces the actual brake torque output.

3.1.19.

"Threshold pressure" means the minimum hydraulic pressure to overcome the internal friction and seal forces, move the brake calliper's piston or drum’s wheel cylinder to contact the brake disc or drum, and initiate brake torque output. A fixed value of 100 kPa shall be used for disc brake and 350 kPa for drum brake applications.

3.1.20.

"Piston diameter" means the diameter of the hydraulic piston(s) in the calliper or drum wheel cylinder and is used to calculate the total piston(s) area. Also referred to as "Hydraulic piston diameter".

3.1.23.

"Brake effectiveness" means the ratio between the total tangential force and the actuation force between the brake pads and the disc or between the brake shoes and the drum. The brake effectiveness value from the brake under testing is a function of braking torque, hydraulic pressure, effective brake radius, and the piston area. The brake effectiveness is a calculated (mathematical) value and is not directly measurable. Also referred to as "apparent coefficient of friction" for disc brakes and as “internal brake factor” for drum brakes.

3.1.24.

"Brake fluid displacement" means the transient (volumetric) use of hydraulic fluid by the brake calliper or the brake wheel cylinder during a brake deceleration event to develop the actuation force.

3.1.25.

"Average by time" means the averaging method applied to a given measurand over a specified brake event. The resultant value yields the same result as the integration between two instances (threshold and end of level reached) divided by the duration between the corresponding points.

3.1.26.

"Average by distance" means the averaging method for a given measurand during a brake deceleration event where the sampling frequency is a unit of calculated vehicle distance travelled between sampling points. The resultant value yields the same result as the integration between two instances (start and end thresholds) divided by the distance travelled (or driven) during the corresponding elapsed time. During dynamometer testing, the integration of distance is calculated using the difference in brake speed and the elapsed time.

3.1.27.

"Sampling rate" means the frequency at which the automation system samples various parameters. It represents the number of events that are measured within 1 second for each parameter.

3.1.28.

3.1.30.

"Chassis dynamometer" means a technical system that imposes and controls a drive schedule on a complete vehicle complying with the requirements of UN Regulation No. 154.

3.2.   Test setup

3.2.1.

"Brake dynamometer" means a technical system that imposes, controls, and records the mechanical and electrical work from the brake under testing while operating with a pre-programmed test procedure.

3.2.2.

"Torque measurement sensor" means the electromechanical device that converts the torsional strain on the brake assembly into the equivalent output. The equivalent torque derives from the angular deceleration rate and the effective brake inertia.

3.2.3.

"Servo controller" means a system that modulates the braking torque or hydraulic pressure to the intended (setpoint) value. The servo controller also provides the algorithm to control the release of braking torque or pressure at the end of the brake deceleration events.

3.2.4.

"Pressure sensor" in the context of Annex 5 of this Regulation means an electromechanical device that is connected to the brake fluid path close to the brake system and provides a signal that is equivalent to the brake pressure at the corresponding brake corner.

3.2.5.

"Torque to Pressure ratio" is a constant value that converts the brake pressure into braking torque of a friction brake.

3.2.6.

"Torque to Electric Power ratio" is a transfer function that converts measured electric power into braking torque of an electromechanical friction brake.

To consider the correct vehicle electrification type, either the fixed friction braking share coefficient cfix of Table 4 or the declared individual friction braking share coefficient cdecl, based on measurements, according to Annex 5 paragraph 7.1. of this Regulation shall be used for cveh .

7.2.

Brake Corner Emissions Family

A brake corner emissions family is defined by a brake assembly considering the calliper, disc or drum-backplate assembly, pad or shoe, and certain other vehicle parameters.

7.2.1.

Characteristics of Brake Corner Emissions Families for “Original” and “Original Replacement” Brake Parts and Systems

All vehicle electrification types, independent of their electrification grade, may be part of one brake corner emissions family. Only vehicles that feature an identical brake assembly with respect to the characteristics listed in (a)-(d) may be part of the same brake corner emissions family. This categorization applies to “Original” and “Original Replacement” brakes as defined in paragraphs 3.3.18. and 3.3.20. of this Regulation, respectively.

(a)

Type of calliper (floating or fixed calliper, number and size of pistons, type of retraction elements);

(b)

Type of brake: disc (friction surface, coating, single, dual, ventilated, solid, dimensions, mass, material formulation) or drum-backplate assembly (friction surface, simplex, duplex, dimensions, mass, material formulation);

(c)

Type of friction material: pad (friction surface size and shape, friction material formulation , backing plate) or shoe (friction surface size and design, friction material formulation, backing plate);

(d)

Any other characteristic that has a non-negligible influence on brake emissions (e.g. innovative brake emission reduction systems).

Figure 1b provides a schematic representation of the brake corner emissions family allocation for the different types of brakes as defined in this paragraph.

Figure 1b

7.2.2.

Brake Corner Emissions Family Parent

For all vehicles with an identical brake assembly as described in paragraph 7.2.1., the vehicle with the highest product of friction braking share coefficient (c-factor fixed as of Table 4 or vehicle specific as of Annex 5) and test wheel load as defined in paragraph 3.1.14. (WLt*c) shall be selected as the parent of the brake corner emissions family.

The product of the friction braking share coefficient and test wheel load shall be used only to identify the brake corner emissions family parent and not as input parameter when testing the brake assembly for its emissions.

The friction braking share coefficient for each vehicle electrification type in the scope of this Regulation is given in Table 4. If the product of the test wheel load and the friction braking share coefficient is the same for two or more vehicles of the same brake corner emissions family, the manufacturer shall select the vehicle with the smallest tyre dynamic rolling radius as the brake corner emissions family parent.

At the request of the manufacturer the wheel load of the dedicated brake corner emission family parent may be increased to cover wheel load increases or wheel load uncertainties of future vehicles of the same type or friction braking share coefficient variances. The brake corner shall then be tested on the brake component test stand with this increased wheel load. The test wheel load multiplied by the friction braking share coefficient of any member of the brake corner emissions family shall not be more than 10 % of the original parent product value. This increased value will become the new determining parent product value.

7.2.3.

Brake Corner Emissions Family Testing

The brake assembly of original and original replacement brake systems shall be tested on the test stand using the test wheel load, as described in paragraph 8.1. of Annex 4, corresponding to the brake corner emissions family parent.

Original and original replacement brake parts (discs, pads, drums, shoes) shall be tested on the test stand coupled with the corresponding original brake part (e.g. an original brake pad shall be used to test an original replacement brake disc). The test wheel load, as described in paragraph 8.1. of Annex 4, that corresponds to the brake corner emissions family parent shall be applied.

The final brake PM and PN emission factors for the brake corner emissions family parent are calculated after multiplying the reference PM and PN emissions of the tested brake with the friction braking share coefficient of the brake corner emissions family parent vehicle as described in paragraphs 12.1.5. and 12.2.4. of Annex 4, respectively.

7.3.

Rounding Requirements

All data must be processed using at least six significant digits. If fewer significant digits are available, data must be processed using all available significant digits. Rounding of intermediate results is not permitted. The final values for a given parameter may be rounded to the number of significant digits necessary to match the number of decimal places defined for the parameter in paragraph 13. of Annex 4. The rounding criteria consider the following:

(a)

The resolution of the value cannot exceed its measurement uncertainty;

(b)

If there is a set value (e.g., vehicle speed, deceleration rate, event duration), report the actual value with one decimal more than the set value;

(c)

If the measurement system is used to evaluate results with a bilateral specification (e.g., ± 1°C, ± 1 kPa), the resolution shall be 1/20 of the specification interval by default or better. In a one-sided specification (e.g., ≤ 3 % speed violations), the resolution shall be less than 1/10 of the specification interval or better;

(d)

Report values derived from a calculation (e.g., particle background, emission factors, averages) with one additional decimal place to the values from items (a) and (b) from this paragraph.

7.4.

Signal filtering Requirements

Data acquisition, data recording and every evaluation step performing down sampling to a lower acquisition/recording frequency require signal filtering to fulfil Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem. A second order filter with a cut-off frequency between 25% and 50% of the lower sampling/recording frequency is considered to fulfil this criterion and avoids unintended smoothing of the signal.

8.   General overview

8.1.

Test sections

A brake emissions test includes three test sections. Each section contains one or more trips with a series of events. The main events which induce brake work and generate brake emissions are the deceleration events. Figure 2 provides a schematic overview of a brake emissions test.

Figure 2

Structure of the brake emissions tests for vehicles with full-friction braking

Image 3

The three sections of the brake emissions test are:

(a)

Brake cooling adjustment. This section uses Trip #10 of the WLTP-Brake cycle. The cooling adjustment section is described in detail in paragraph 10. of Annex 4;

(b)

Brake bedding. This section includes the execution of five repetitions of the WLTP-Brake cycle. It is carried out with new brake parts. The bedding section is described in detail in paragraph 11. of Annex 4;

(c)

Brake emissions measurement. This section includes the execution of one WLTP-Brake cycle. The emissions measurement section is described in detail in paragraph 12. of Annex 4.

8.2.

Test execution steps

The correct execution of a brake emissions test requires the testing facility to conduct and document the following steps:

(a)

Ensure the test system meets the requirements defined in paragraph 7. of Annex 4 regarding the system layout, cooling airflow, temperature and humidity control, brake dynamometer capabilities, brake enclosure design, sampling tunnel design, and sampling plane design;

(b)

Meet all requirements defined in paragraph 8. of Annex 4 for test preparation involving the calculation and application of the correct input parameters, test setup, measurement of brake temperature, and brake positioning in the enclosure;

(c)

Be capable of executing the WLTP-Brake cycle per paragraph 9. of Annex 4 and demonstrate compliance with the quality checks;

(d)

Perform the brake cooling adjustment section as defined in paragraph 10. of Annex 4;

(e)

Perform the brake bedding section as defined in paragraph 11. of Annex 4;

(f)

Execute all items from paragraph 12. of Annex 4 for the brake emissions measurement, including particulate matter mass, particle number, and mass loss of the wearable brake hardware;

(g)

Report the results of the test following paragraph 13. of Annex 4;

(h)

Comply with paragraph 14. of Annex 4 for minimum calibration requirements and periodic evaluations of the used instrumentation and setup.

9.   Modification and extension of the type approval

9.1.

Every modification of the vehicle type with regard to brake emissions and any inclusion of a new vehicle electrification type or interpolation family to an existing approval shall be notified to the Type Approval Authority that approved the vehicle type. The Type Approval Authority may then either:

9.1.1.

Consider that the modifications made are contained within the brake corner emission families covered by the approval or are unlikely to have an appreciable adverse effect on the Type Approval values and that, in this case, the original approval will be valid for the modified vehicle type; or

9.1.2.

Require a further test report from the Technical Service responsible for conducting the tests.

9.1.3.

In the case of inclusion of a new vehicle electrification type or interpolation family, a demonstration of compliance according to paragraph. 7.1.2. shall be provided and reported according to Appendix 3 of Annex 1.

9.2.

Confirmation or refusal of approval, specifying the alterations, shall be communicated by the procedure specified in paragraph 5.3. to the Contracting Parties to the Agreement which apply this Regulation.

9.3.

The Type Approval Authority issuing the extension of approval shall assign a series number to the extension and inform thereof the other Contracting Parties to the 1958 Agreement applying this Regulation by means of a communication form conforming to the model in Annex 2 to this Regulation.

9.4.

Extension of an approval

An existing type approval may be extended e.g. by adding new vehicle models to it. The added vehicles must also fulfil the requirements of paragraph 9.1. This may require further verification by the Type Approval Authority (e.g. when different friction braking share coefficients apply).

10.

Conformity of production (CoP)

The conformity of production procedures shall comply with those set out in the 1958 Agreement, Schedule 1 (E/ECE/324-E/ECE/TRANS/505/Rev.3), with the following requirements:

For the purposes of the manufacturer's conformity of production check on brake systems, brake corner emission family samples shall be taken from the production series according to paragraph 10.1 and tested according to paragraph 10.2. The conformity of the vehicle type shall then be evaluated according to paragraph 10.3.

10.1.

CoP test frequency of brake emission testing on component testbed

Once every 12 months one CoP verification check shall be performed according to the following steps and the statistical procedure described in paragraph 10.4:

(a)

once every 12 months at least one and not more than four samples of each brake corner emission family (front and rear) shall be randomly chosen and tested with the family parent setting as during type approval over the WLTP-Brake cycle on a component test bench;

(b)

once every 12 months at least one and not more than four CoP assessments shall be made according to paragraph 10.3 and considering the brake corner emissions from point a) for the combination of front and rear axles.

For the purpose of paragraph 10.3., the emissions results of front and rear brake components sampled and tested according to point a) may be used for 12 months in different combinations for several vehicle types.

10.2.

Measurement of brake emissions on component testbed

CoP tests of the brake corner emission family parents (defined during type approval) shall be executed on a component test bench under full friction braking conditions, measuring PM10 and SPN10 emissions. CoP tests shall be carried out according to the following steps of the type approval test procedure, but adding two more repetitions of the emission measurements after bedding to reduce measurement uncertainties and laboratory to laboratory variabilities:

(a)

Cooling adjustment section according to type approval data of brake corner emission family parent, during CoP no change of brake components between “Cooling adjustment section” and “Bedding section”;

(b)

Bedding section (5 x WLTP-Brake Cycle);

(c)

Emissions Measurements section (3 x WLTP-Brake Cycle).

After the completion of all three emission tests, the PM10 results of each brake corner emission family parent shall be arithmetically averaged, and these results shall be used for the COP assessment described in paragraph 10.3.

SPN10 results of the three emission tests shall be measured for reporting purposes only until a limit is introduced.

10.3.

CoP assessment

The production shall be deemed to conform if the verification procedure described in paragraph 7.1.2. is successfully completed considering the reference emission factors of the brake corner emission family parents of front and rear axle measured in paragraph 10.2.

If the above mentioned verification fails, , another sample of both brake corner emission families in question shall be randomly chosen and tested in the same condition as indicated in paragraph 10.1 a) and a new verification procedure as described above will be completed considering this new sample, whose result will be incorporated in the statistical procedure described in paragraph10.4.

10.4.

Statistical evaluation of CoP samples

The decision depends on the cumulative sample size 'n', the passed and failed result counts 'p' and 'f', respectively. The samples shall be from different batches. For the decision on a pass/fail of a verification sample the decision chart in Table 5a shall be used. The chart indicates the decision to be taken for a given cumulative sample size 'n' and failed count result 'f'.

Two decisions are possible for a statistical procedure for the vehicle type and its whole vehicle brake emissions value (for both brake families Front and Rear):

(a)

‘Sample pass’ outcome shall be reached when the decision chart from Table 5a gives a "PASS" outcome for the current cumulative sample size 'n' and the count of failed results 'f';

(b)

‘Sample fail’ decision shall be reached when, for a given cumulative sample size 'n', when the applicable decision chart from Table 5a gives a "FAIL" decision for the current cumulative sample size 'n' and the count of failed results 'f'.

If no decision is reached ('UND' = undecided), the statistical procedure shall remain open and further results shall be incorporated into it, until a decision is reached.

For phase I, until 31 December 2029, only PM10 shall be evaluated according to Table 5a. Where CoP tests are performed by the Approval Authority, in case of n=2 and f=2, the approval authority shall test the next samples in a different testing facility. On request of the manufacturer and in agreement with the Approval Authority, in case of n=2 and f=2, the remaining tests shall be carried out in the same facility as used for the type approval under supervision of the technical service or type approval authority.

Test System Requirements

7.1.   

Overall Test System Layout

This Regulation defines a standard dynamometer test method aiming for repeatable and reproducible measurements of particle emissions from brakes. The technical system to perform brake emissions tests requires a system approach. The execution of a valid brake emissions test requires a robust integration of several subsystems to ensure the drive cycle, cooling air, dynamometer control, brake enclosure, sampling tunnel, aerosol sampling systems, and data collection, altogether meet the requirements specified in this Regulation.

Figure A4/1 provides two indicative layouts that include the minimum required subsystems to carry out a brake emissions test using a brake dynamometer. The illustrated layouts feature a climatic conditioning unit with variable flow fan(s) that supplies the setup with conditioned air. The conditioned air enters a brake enclosure designed to fit the entire assembly of the brake under testing. The brake dynamometer enables and controls the testing of the brake. The enclosure is directly connected to the sampling tunnel near the end of which three or four sampling probes are mounted. The sampling probes are used to extract the aerosol from the tunnel towards the PM and PN measurement setup. A flow measurement device is installed in the tunnel downstream of the sampling plane. The positioning and dimensions of the different elements are indicative and are provided for illustration purposes; therefore, exact conformance with Figure A4/1 is not required.

Note:

(b) The layout has a bend downstream of the enclosure and upstream of the sampling plane and assumes four sampling probes. The brake dynamometer is not depicted but only denoted (grey area) – a graphical representation of the brake dynamometer is given in Figure A4/2

There are several accepted configurations to lay out the air handling and control subsystems. All designs can use the same (not depicted) brake dynamometer, control software, data acquisition, and brake fixture. However, the testing facility shall ensure that all configurations include at least the subsystems and characteristics laid down in Table A4/1 Details regarding the different elements of the setup are given in the corresponding paragraphs of this Regulation as indicated in Table A4/1.

7.2.   

Climatic Conditioning Unit and Cooling Air

The conditioned cooling air a) provides clean and continuous cooling to the brake assembly and b) transports the aerosol from the enclosure into the sampling tunnel and the PM/PN sampling probes. The cooling air needs to be under stable conditions for temperature and humidity in accordance with the specifications described in paragraph 7.2.1., clean with low background concentration values as defined in paragraph 7.2.2., and at a constant flow to ensure repeatable and reproducible testing conditions in accordance with the specifications described in paragraph 7.2.3.

The conditioned cooling air is supplied to the testing setup by the climatic conditioning unit. A typical system configuration may include cooling devices to cool and dehumidify the air, heating devices to increase the temperature of the air, and steam or water mist generators to increase the humidity in the air. Integral to the unit are the closed-loop proportional integral derivative controls, alarms, and sensors to monitor the condition of all devices and interfaces. The system shall consist of a variable flow blower able to supply the layout with conditioned cooling air over a wide range of airflows. The system shall be defined by its minimum and maximum operational flows. The following specifications apply for the minimum and maximum operational flows:

(a)

The minimum operational flow shall be defined in the range between 100-300 m3/h;

(b)

The maximum operational flow shall be at least 5 times the minimum operational flow;

(c)

The maximum operational flow shall be at least 1 000 m3/h greater than the minimum operational flow.

The system may also combine two-variable flow blowers (one to push and one to pull) to provide a slight negative pressure inside the sampling tunnel. The climatic conditioning unit control shall be capable of providing the necessary interfaces to the operator and the dynamometer.

7.2.1.   

Cooling Air Conditioning

The testing facility shall continuously monitor and control the temperature and humidity of the conditioned cooling air. For that reason, the testing facility shall install temperature and humidity sensors upstream of the brake enclosure. Positioning the sensors upstream of the brake enclosure avoids influencing the feedback signals with the thermal load from the brake events. Figure A4/1 provides an indicative position for the temperature and air humidity sensors (element 3).

The temperature sensor shall have an accuracy of ±1 °C. The sensor applied for measuring the specific and relative humidity shall have an accuracy of ±5 per cent of the nominal value (i.e. 50 per cent). The testing facility shall use the signals from these sensors to assess the stability of the cooling air’s temperature and humidity. Table A4/2 summarises the requirements for the cooling air’s temperature, humidity, and flow.

7.2.1.1.   

Cooling Air Temperature

Cooling air temperature at the measurement point shall be constant as defined below. The testing facility shall carry out the following steps:

(a)

Set the cooling air temperature to 23 °C. The average cooling air temperature shall not deviate more than ±2 °C of the set (nominal) value (i.e. 21 0C ≤ T ≤ 25 0C). Testing facilities shall aim to keep the temperature as close as possible to the nominal value of 23 °C;

(f)

If the average or the instantaneous cooling air temperature falls out of the limits specified in this paragraph, the test shall be invalid.

7.2.1.2.   

Cooling Air Humidity

Cooling air relative humidity shall be constant as defined below. The testing facility shall carry out the following steps:

(a)

Set the relative humidity of the cooling air to a nominal value of 50 per cent. The average cooling air humidity shall not deviate more than ±5 per cent of the nominal value (i.e. 45 per cent ≤ RH ≤ 55 per cent). Testing facilities shall aim to keep the relative humidity as close as possible to the target value of 50 per cent;

(c)

Calculate and report the average relative humidity of the cooling air in all sections as defined in Table A4/14;

(d)

The instantaneous cooling air relative humidity shall not deviate more than ±30 per cent of the nominal value (i.e. 20 per cent ≤ RH ≤ 80 per cent). If the instantaneous cooling air relative humidity deviates more than ±30 per cent from the nominal value, the testing facility shall ensure that the provisions described in point (e) of this paragraph are met;

(e)

The instantaneous cooling air relative humidity may deviate more than ±30 per cent of the nominal value (RH < 20 % or RH > 80 %) for no longer than 10 per cent of the duration of the test (soaking sections not included), provided that the average relative humidity meets the requirements defined in point (a) of this paragraph:

In addition to the specifications defined for the relative humidity, the testing facility shall ensure that the average specific humidity of the cooling air is kept between 6 gH2O/kg and 11 gH2O/kg dry air throughout the entire brake emissions test (soaking sections during emissions measurement are not included).

If the average specific humidity is outside of the limits specified in this paragraph, the test shall be invalid.

7.2.2.   

Cooling Air Cleaning

7.2.2.1.   

Cooling Air Filtering

The cooling air entering the test system shall pass through a medium capable of reducing particles of the most penetrating particle size in the filter material by at least 99.95 per cent or through a filter of at least class H13 as specified in EN 1822. Any other type of filter applied to remove volatile organic species (charcoal, activated carbon, or equivalent) shall be installed upstream of the H13 (or equivalent) filter. Figure A4/1 provides an indicative position for the air filtering device (element 2).

7.2.2.2.   

Particle Background Verification

The particle background in the overall layout shall be defined on a PN concentration basis. The testing facility shall measure the particle background using the same instrumentation used for the PN emissions measurements. Details regarding the PN measurement system are provided in paragraph 12.2. The testing facility shall measure and report SPN10 background concentrations at two levels: system-level and brake emissions test level.

7.2.2.2.1.   

Particle Background Verification at the System Level

The first level concerns the system background verification upon the installation of the testbed setup, after any major maintenance, or when there are indications of a system malfunction. The testing facility shall apply the following steps for a complete background verification at the system level:

(a)

Perform the background verification with neither the brake fixture nor any brake components installed inside the brake enclosure;

(b)

Perform the background verification with the SPN10 measurement system operating at the minimum calibrated PCRF setting;

(c)

Commence the background verification at least five minutes after stabilising the cooling airflow to the average values per paragraph 7.2.3. for cooling airflow stability and to the average values per paragraph 7.2.1. for cooling air temperature and humidity;

(d)

Perform the background verification at two different cooling airflow settings. Apply the minimum and maximum operational flow of the system. The testing facility shall sample SPN10 during the system background verification. The testing facility may use a single nozzle size for sampling SPN10 during the system background verification when applying different airflow settings;

(e)

The background verification procedure shall run for as long as it takes to allow the background concentration to stabilise. The background concentration is considered stable when the averaged PCRF-corrected PN value, calculated as a 5-minute moving average, stays below the maximum permissible level as per paragraph 7.2.2.2.3. The 5-minute moving average shall be derived from 1-second (1Hz) samples.

7.2.2.2.2.   

Particle Background Verification at the Test Level

The second level concerns the background verification before and after the execution of a brake emissions test. The testing facility shall carry out the following steps for the pre-test verification:

(a)

Perform the regular background pre-test before the bedding section with the brake assembly mounted. The disc/drum shall not rotate and the pads/shoes shall not be disturbed. Do not apply braking during the background verification procedure (zero brake pressure);

(b)

Perform the pre-test verification with the cooling airflow setting defined for the given brake emissions test. The SPN10 measurement system shall operate at the PCRF setting selected for the brake emissions test of the brake under testing;

(c)

Commence the background pre-test verification at least five minutes after stabilising the cooling airflow to the average values per paragraph 7.2.3. for cooling airflow stability and to the average values per paragraph 7.2.1. for cooling air temperature and humidity;

(d)

Perform the background pre-test verification for as long as it takes for the background concentration to stabilise. The background concentration is considered stable when the PCRF-corrected PN value, calculated as a 5-minute moving average, stays below the maximum permissible level as per paragraph 7.2.2.2.3. The 5-minute moving average shall be derived from 1-second (1Hz) samples. Do not switch off the PN system after the end of the pre-test verification and before completing the post-test verification.

The testing facility shall carry out the following steps for the post-test verification:

(e)

Perform the regular background post-test before purging the PN system and with the brake assembly mounted. The disc/drum shall not rotate and the pads/shoes shall not be disturbed. Do not apply braking during the background verification procedure (zero brake pressure);

(f)

Perform the post-test verification with the cooling airflow setting used for the given brake emissions test. The SPN10 measurement system shall operate at the PCRF setting selected for the brake emissions test;

(g)

Commence the background post-test verification right after the emissions test and with the cooling airflow stabilised to the average values per paragraph 7.2.3. for cooling airflow stability and to the average values per paragraph 7.2.1. for cooling air temperature and humidity. Do not switch off the PN system after the end of the emissions section and before completing the post-test verification;

(h)

Perform the background post-test for as long as it takes for the background concentration to stabilise. The background concentration is considered stable when the PCRF-corrected PN value, calculated as a 5-minute moving average, remains below the maximum permissible level as per paragraph 7.2.2.2.3. The 5-minute moving average shall be derived from 1-second (1Hz) samples.

7.2.2.2.3.   

Calculation and Reporting of the Particle Background Concentration

The background shall be measured and reported at a SPN10 concentration basis at standard conditions. The testing facility shall apply the following procedure:

(a)

Perform a zero verification of the particle number counter (PNC). Apply a filter of appropriate performance at the inlet of the PNC per the equipment manufacturer’s specification and record the PN concentration. The reading shall not exceed 0.2 #/cm3 at the inlet of the PNC. Upon removal of the filter, the PNC shall show an increase in measured concentration and a return to ≤ 0.2 #/cm3 on the replacement of the filter. The PN measurement device shall not report any errors;

(b)

Measure the average value of SPN10 (SPN10b# ) background concentrations at the system and test levels following paragraphs 7.2.2.2.1. and 7.2.2.2.2. Report the background values in normalised particle number concentration (#/Ncm3) as specified in Table A4/14;

(c)

The 5-minute average background concentration in the tunnel shall not exceed the maximum limit of 20 #/Ncm3 for SPN10. The limit of 20 #/Ncm3 applies to the background concentration at both system and test levels as described in paragraphs 7.2.2.2.1. and 7.2.2.2.2.;

(d)

Failure to comply with the zero verification of the PNC described in point (a) and with the particle background limits defined in point (c) of this paragraph shall result in an invalid test;

(e)

The testing facility shall not subtract the background concentration value when reporting the SPN10 concentration value of the brake emissions measurement section per paragraph 12.2.4.

7.2.2.2.4.   

Calculation and Reporting of the Particle Background per Distance Driven

The testing facility shall also report the background expressed as the number of particles per distance driven to reflect the changes in the cooling air settings when testing different brakes. The calculation of the background per distance driven is determined by Equation[s] 7.1 and 7.2:

reserved

(Eq. 7.1)

Formula

(Eq. 7.2)

Where:

SPN10bEF

is the SPN10 background in the sampling tunnel in #/km;

SPN10b#

is the average normalised and PCRF-corrected SPN10 background concentration in the sampling tunnel in #/Ncm3;

NQ

is the average normalised airflow in the sampling tunnel in Nm3/h;

VSet

is the average nominal linear speed of the WLTP-Brake cycle in km/h.

(a)

The PN background concentration (SPN10b# ) corresponds to the average normalised and PCRF- SPN10 value calculated throughout the background verification from the parameters as specified in Table A4/14;

(b)

Calculate the normalised average cooling airflow (NQ) during the background verification procedure from the parameters as specified in Table A4/14;

(c)

The average nominal linear speed of the WLTP-Brake cycle equals to 43.7 km/h (Vset = 43.7 km/h);

(d)

Calculate and report the background particle concentration values per distance driven only at the test level – both pre- and post-test – as specified in Table A4/14.

7.2.3.   

Cooling Airflow

The testing facility shall measure and report the cooling airflow throughout the entire brake emissions testing procedure. The measurement of the cooling airflow shall meet the following requirements:

(a)

The method of measuring cooling airflow shall be such that measurement is accurate to ±2 per cent of the set value under all operating conditions;

(b)

Measure the cooling airflow downstream of the sampling plane. Figure A4/1 provides an indicative position for the flow measurement device (element 10);

(c)

For a single-point measurement, locate the flow measurement element at the centre of the duct, at least five duct diameters downstream and two duct diameters upstream of any flow disturbance. The flow measurement area may have a different inner diameter from the sampling tunnel. In such a case, duct diameter refers to the inner diameter of the duct where the flow element is located. The installation of the flowmeter shall not introduce significant pressure changes (i.e. the pressure at the flow measurement element shall be within ±1 kPa of ambient pressure). The duct’s inner diameter shall be at least 35 per cent of the sampling tunnel’s inner diameter;

(d)

For a multi-point measurement, install the flow measurement element perpendicular to the flow direction, at least five duct diameters downstream and two duct diameters upstream of any flow disturbance. Duct diameter refers to the inner diameter of the duct where the flow measurement elements are located. The specifications for the installation of the flowmeter defined in point (c) of this paragraph shall apply when the duct’s inner diameter is different from the sampling tunnel’s inner diameter;

(e)

Use a flow measurement device calibrated to report airflow at standard conditions. To ensure an appropriate conversion to operating conditions, the temperature sensor shall have an accuracy of ±1 °C and the pressure measurements shall have a precision and accuracy of ±0.4 kPa;

(f)

When the airflow measurement device is not calibrated to report values at standard conditions, ensure it includes a temperature sensor installed immediately before the measuring device. The temperature sensor shall fulfil the accuracy requirements described in point (e) of this paragraph. Use this measurement to normalise the airflow values;

(g)

When the airflow measurement device is not calibrated to report values at standard conditions, ensure it includes the measurement of the absolute pressure or the pressure difference from atmospheric pressure taken upstream from the measuring device. The pressure measurements shall fulfil the precision and accuracy requirements described in point (e) of this paragraph. Use this measurement to normalise the airflow values;

(h)

When using air filters to protect the airflow measurement device from contamination, install the filter at least five duct diameters upstream of the flow measurement device. Continuously monitor the pressure drop and, when necessary, correct the measured airflow accordingly. Follow the recommendations regarding the type and specifications of the protective filter provided by the manufacturer of the flow measurement device.

The testing facility shall ensure that the cooling airflow is constant throughout the entire brake emissions test as follows:

(i)

The set (nominal) value for the cooling airflow (Qset) shall be the same and constant during all sections of a brake emissions test. The same set value shall apply to cooling adjustment, bedding, and emissions measurement (including soaking) sections. This does not apply to the non-successful iterations of the cooling adjustment section, which may have a different cooling airflow set value;

(j)

During the cooling adjustment section, the average measured cooling airflow shall be within ±5 per cent of the set value defined at the beginning of the test;

(k)

During the bedding section, the average measured cooling airflow shall be within ±5 per cent of the nominal value defined during the cooling adjustment section for the given brake;

(l)

During the emissions measurement section, the average measured cooling airflow shall be within ±5 per cent of the nominal value defined during the cooling adjustment section for the given brake;

(m)

Calculate and report the time-averaged measured cooling airflow in all sections as defined in Table A4/14;

(n)

In case the average nominal or measured cooling airflow does not meet the requirements defined in this paragraph, the test shall be invalid;

(o)

The instantaneous cooling airflow can deviate more than ±5 per cent and up to ±10 per cent of the nominal value for no longer than 5 per cent of the duration of the cycle, provided that the average measured cooling airflow meets the requirements defined in this paragraph. This applies to the cooling adjustment and emissions measurement sections:

(i)

For the cooling adjustment section, the instantaneous cooling airflow can deviate between ±5 and ±10 per cent of the set value for no longer than 264 s;

(ii)

For the emissions measurement section, the instantaneous cooling airflow can deviate between ±5 and ±10 per cent of the set value for no longer than 792 s (soaking sections not included).

(p)

In addition to the compliance with the average and instantaneous limits defined in this paragraph, the cooling airflow in combination with the sampling airflow in the PM and PN sampling lines shall meet the isokinetic requirements per paragraphs 12.1.2.3. and 12.2.3.2., respectively;

(q)

A system leak check covering the ductwork and the enclosure shall be carried out before testing. Set the cooling airflow at the cooling setting defined for testing the given brake and measure for at least 2 min after the flow is stabilised. If the average measured flow is within ±5 per cent of the set value, proceed with the testing. If the flow fluctuates beyond ±5 per cent of the set value cease testing activities, verify the flow measurement device, identify possible sources of the leak(s), take corrective action to resolve the issue, and resume testing by first performing a successful leak check. Alternative methods that follow the system manufacturer’s specifications may be applied for determining the leakage rate of the system; however, the testing facility shall always report the actual level of flow fluctuation from the set value;

(r)

The testing facility shall report the cooling airflow in the Time-Based file of the brake emissions test. Additionally, the testing facility shall report both actual and normalised airflow as defined in Table A4/14

7.3.   

Brake Dynamometer and Automation Systems

The brake dynamometer is a technical system that provides the controlled kinetic energy to the brake under test. It primarily transforms rotational kinetic energy into thermal energy (Figure A4/2 – S1). Figure A4/2 provides a layout of the test system with the brake dynamometer and shows the interactions with the minimum subsystems required to execute a brake emissions test following this Regulation.

Figure A4/2

C1 and C2: Testing facility energy controls and monitoring system. The grey arrow represents the aerosol sample from the brake under testing

The brake dynamometer shall consist of at least the following elements:

(a)

A variable-speed electric motor to accelerate or keep the rotational speed constant and modulate the test inertia according to the testing needs;

(b)

A servo controller (hydraulic or electric) to actuate the brake under testing;

(c)

A mechanical assembly to mount the brake under testing, allow free rotation of the disc or drum, and absorb the reaction forces from braking;

(d)

A rigid structure to mount all the mandatory subsystems. The structure shall be capable of absorbing the forces and torque generated by the brake under testing;

(e)

Sensors and devices to collect data and monitor the operation of the test system;

Integral to the test system is the automation, controls, and data acquisition system (Figure A4/2 – S2). It continuously controls the rotational speed of the motor as well as the operation and the interactions between the different systems (Figure A4/2 – S3, S4, S5). Subsystems S3, S4, and S5 are described in detail in paragraphs 7.2., 7.4.-7.5., and 12.1.-12.2., respectively. The different elements and subsystems in Figure A4/2 are indicative; therefore, exact conformance with the figure is not mandatory.

The automation, control, and data acquisition system performs all the functions that enable the brake emissions test. It accelerates the brake during acceleration events, maintains constant speed during cruise events, and modulates the frictional torque during deceleration events to reduce the kinetic energy of the rotating masses. Additionally, the automation, control, and data acquisition system provides an interface to the operator, stores the data from the test, and handles the interfaces with other systems in the testing facility. The automation system shall be capable of using active torque control on the electric motor to increase or decrease the total effective test inertia during deceleration events. The electric motor shall also be capable of absorbing part of the kinetic energy equivalent to the road loads and the non-friction braking from the vehicle’s powertrain. The software that operates the test system shall be capable of performing at least the following functions:

(f)

Execute the driving cycle automatically by operating all the closed-loop processes (mainly for brake controls, cooling air handling, and emissions measurement instruments);

(g)

Continuously sample and record data from all relevant sensors to generate the outputs defined in paragraph 13. of this annex;

(h)

Monitor signals, messages, alarms, or emergency stops from the operator and the different systems connected to the test system.

7.4.   

Brake Enclosure Design

The brake enclosure is the test chamber where the brake assembly is installed during brake emissions testing. It is a sealed chamber that prevents untreated air from entering and contaminating the air flowing around the brake assembly. The brake enclosure directs uniform conditioned air to cool the brake and transport aerosol into the sampling tunnel. Design requirements for the enclosure aim to provide general guidelines to ensure systems’ comparability related to brake cooling and particle transport efficiency. Figure A4/1 provides an indicative position for the brake enclosure (element 4).

7.4.1.   

General Elements

An indicative shape of the enclosure is illustrated in Figure A4/3 The enclosure is defined by one horizontal and four vertical planes. Plane A1 represents the horizontal level aligned with the axis of the brake rotation and the axis of the inlet and outlet ducts. Plane A represents the vertical plane aligned with the enclosure’s inlet. Plane B represents the vertical plane at the end of the transition from the inlet duct to the central section of the enclosure. Plane C shall be defined by the largest brake assembly applied on the vehicles that fall under the scope of this Regulation or any brake with similar dimensions (i.e. diameter of 450 mm). Plane D represents the vertical plane aligned with the axis of the brake rotation.

Figure A4/3

Indicative schematic representation of the brake enclosure

Image 11

The inlet transition volume (Figure A4/3 – 1) is defined as the section of the enclosure between Planes A and B and is illustrated with a grey colour. The transition angle “a” (Figure A4/3 – 2) defines how smoothly the transition area develops in the enclosure. In Figure A4/3, the cooling air flows from right to left.

7.4.2.   

Design Specifications

The following general specifications for the design of the brake enclosure and the verification of proper mixing and flow uniformity therein shall be met:

(a)

The brake enclosure shall have two conical or trapezoidal sections intersecting with a cylinder at the centre concentric to the axis of the brake rotation;

(b)

The transition from Plane A to Plane B shall be smooth and continuous with no abrupt changes. The requirements apply to the vertical plane, along the duct axis, and to the horizontal Plane A1 along the enclosure’s cross section (intersecting cylinder);

(c)

The inlet and outlet cross-sections shall be designed to ensure smooth transition angles (15° ≤ a ≤ 30°) to avoid sudden changes in cross-section shape or size;

(d)

The transition points between the segments shall not have any imperfections or features that may collect brake particles that could become airborne later during the test;

(e)

If fasteners are applied at the transition points, they shall not protrude into the enclosure area;

(f)

The cooling air shall enter and exit the enclosure only in the horizontal direction (i.e. the central axis of the enclosure defined by Plane A1 shall align with the airflow direction). The tunnel shall be horizontal and straight for at least two duct diameters (2•di) upstream of the enclosure’s inlet. The tunnel ducting shall also be horizontal after the enclosure at least until two duct diameters (2•di) downstream of the sampling plane as specified in paragraph 7.5.;

(g)

The surfaces of the brake enclosure that come into contact with the aerosol shall have a seamless construction. Stainless steel with an electropolished finish (or equivalent) shall be used to attain an ultra-clean and ultra-fine surface and to enhance corrosion resistance;

(h)

Select all materials (including seals) to ensure sufficient protection against the media used (e.g. brake fluid) during setup. All enclosure gaps and interfaces shall be air-tight sealed using gasket linings or equivalent;

(i)

The airflow at the entrance of the enclosure shall remain turbulent with a Reynolds number of at least 4 000 for all airflow testing settings to ensure sufficient mixing. Calculate the Reynolds number Re for a given brake emissions test using Equation 7.3;

Formula

(Eq. 7.3)

Where:

Re

is the Reynolds number for the given brake emissions test (unitless);

U

is the average cooling airspeed at the sampling tunnel in km/h;

di

is the sampling tunnel diameter in mm per Table A4/1;

υ

is the kinematic viscosity of air (use a default value of 1.48×10–5 m2/s).

The average cooling airspeed at the sampling tunnel can be calculated using the measured airflow and the sampling tunnel’s inner diameter based on Equation 7.4;

Formula

(Eq. 7.4)

Where:

d i

is the sampling tunnel’s diameter in mm per Table A4/1

(j)

Plane C is tangential to an arbitrary disc of a diameter of 450 mm. Design the cross-section area at the enclosure inlet so that the airspeed at Plane C remains below the maximum permissible tolerance for speed uniformity defined in point (l) of this paragraph. If necessary, use flow straighteners or diffusion plates at the inlet’s side upstream of Plane B to ensure the highest possible level of uniform flow at Plane C;

(k)

Calculate the airspeed values at nine positions in Plane C as defined in Figure A4/4 Divide Plane C into nine equal areas by lines parallel to the sides of the plane (l1 represents plane C’s height – l2 represents plane C’s axial depth). Point C5 shall be the centre of Plane C. The remaining 8 points shall be equally distributed around point C5 and placed in the middle of the imaginary lines between point C5 and the enclosure’s walls at Plane C as demonstrated in Figure A4/4;

(l)

Measure the airspeed values at the nine positions of Plane C without a brake assembly or a brake fixture installed. All the cooling air ducting utilised for the brake emissions test shall remain connected to the enclosure during these measurements. Measure at the minimum and maximum operational flows of the test system. Let the flow stabilise for at least 2 minutes before conducting each measurement. The airflow is considered stabilized when the average measured flow in the sampling tunnel is within ±5 per cent of the set value. Perform the airspeed measurement for at least 2 minutes after the stabilisation. The measurement time shall be of sufficient duration to detect any instability in the airspeed pattern that may affect the airspeed values. Airspeed at each position shall not vary by more than ±35 per cent of the arithmetic mean of all measurements for a given flow.

Cleaning and maintenance of the brake enclosure shall follow the specifications provided by the manufacturer regarding the frequency and means. The testing facility shall ensure that the enclosure is clean before commencing a brake emissions test.

7.4.3.   

Dimensions

The testing facility shall exercise due diligence to select the brake enclosure such that it fits the largest brake assembly applied to vehicles that fall within the scope of this Regulation. This includes possible additional parts designed to reduce particle emissions (e.g. brake filtering devices) provided their dimensions fit the corresponding wheel dimensions on which the brake is mounted. In addition, the testing facility shall verify that the selection is within the capabilities for speed, brake test inertia, and brake torque expected during the test. Oversized brake enclosures may lead to low-pressure regions, low airspeeds to achieve the target brake temperatures, and longer particle transport times. An indicative layout with the principal dimensions of the enclosure is illustrated in Figure A4/5

Figure A4/5

Indicative schematic representation of the brake enclosure and its main dimensions

Image 13

The minimum specifications related to the dimensions of the brake enclosure are described below. In addition to the dimension specifications described in this paragraph, the testing facility shall ensure the selected dimensions provide a design that meets all requirements defined in paragraph 7.4.2.

(a)

Design the brake enclosure symmetrically to Plane A1. The length of Plane A1 (l A1) represents the most extended length of the enclosure along the flow direction. Plane A1’s length shall be between 1 200 mm and 1 400 mm (1 200 mm ≤ l A1 ≤ 1 400 mm);

(b)

Design the brake enclosure symmetrically to Plane D. The length of Plane D (hD) represents the longest distance (height) of the enclosure perpendicular to the flow direction. Plane D’s height shall be between 600 mm and 750 mm (600 mm ≤ hD ≤ 750 mm);

(c)

The distance from Plane C to Plane D is as long as the radius of the largest market available brake on vehicles within the scope of this Regulation. Plane C’s position in Figure A4/5 is given for illustration purposes and does not correspond to any actual dimension specification;

(d)

Design the height at Plane B (hB) such that the hB/hD ratio is always greater than 60 per cent (hB/hD > 60 %). Design the cross-section’s transition depth at Plane B to equal the axial depth of the enclosure as defined in (g) of this paragraph;

(g)

The maximum axial depth of the brake enclosure at Plane D (parallel to the brake rotation axis) shall be between 400 mm and 500 mm.

7.4.4.   

Brake filtering systems

The installation of brake filtering systems or other brake dust collection devices shall not adversely impact the facility performance. Positioning, length and bends of the system hoses shall be representative of real world applications. Parts of the systems may be installed outside the enclosure as long as they do not impact the brake filter system particle collection efficiency. Any extracted flow from the enclosure shall be returned at the inlet of the tunnel, approximately in the center of the cross-section. If an active system is designed to use one or several filter(s) and one blower for more than one brake(s) for vehicle applications, the additional volume flow needed to compensate the volume flow of the other brake(s) shall be extracted by the tunnel upstream of the enclosure (and downstream of the volume flow measurement). If applicable, a new filter shall be used for for bedding and emissions measurement accoring to Figure 2.

All requirements of this GTR shall be fulfilled. For example, cooling air flow adjustments shall be done with the system installed and operating as during emission measurements.

7.5.   

Design of the Sampling Tunnel

The sampling tunnel is defined as the part between the outlet of the brake enclosure and the inlet of the sampling probes. Figure A4/1 provides an indicative position for the sampling tunnel in the overall layout (element 7). There are two possibilities for the design of the sampling tunnel: a layout without a bend (Figure A4/1 (a)) and a layout with one bend (Figure A4/1 (b)). The testing facility shall ensure the design of the sampling tunnel meets the following requirements:

(a)

The cooling air shall flow through round ducts with no variations in the cross-section between the enclosure exit and the sampling plane;

(b)

Stainless steel with an electropolished finish (or equivalent) shall be used for the surfaces of the tunnel that come into contact with the aerosol;

Image 14

(g)

If a bend is applied in the sampling tunnel, a straight duct with a length of at least six times the duct diameter (6•di) shall follow the bend before locating the sampling plane. Additionally, a straight duct with a length of at least two times the duct diameter (2•di) shall follow the sampling plane before placing any flow disturbance (e.g. a second bend in the setup);

(h)

If there is no bend in the sampling tunnel, a straight duct with a length of at least six times the duct diameter (6•di) shall follow the exit of the enclosure before locating the sampling plane. Additionally, a straight duct with a length of at least two times the duct diameter (2•di) shall follow the sampling plane before placing any flow disturbance (e.g. a bend in the setup or a filter to protect the airflow measurement device from contamination);

(i)

The provisions for the ducts described in points (a), (c), and (d) of this paragraph shall apply at least to the tunnel ducting from two times the duct inner diameter (2•di) upstream of the enclosure’s inlet to two times the duct inner diameter (2•di) downstream of the sampling plane.

7.6.   

Sampling Plane

The sampling plane is the vertical plane in the sampling tunnel where the inlet of the sampling probes is placed. Figure A4/1 provides an indicative position for the sampling plane in the overall layout (element 8). The following provisions apply to the sampling plane:

(a)

PM and PN sampling shall take place in the same cross-section area in the sampling tunnel. Reference paragraphs 12.1.1.1. and 12.2.1.1. for PM and PN sampling, respectively;

(b)

Use a four-probe configuration fulfilling the requirements of this paragraph. Figure A4/7 illustrates the proper positioning of the PM and PN sampling probes. Alternative positioning of the measurement devices in the four-probe layout may be possible when a flow-splitter device for PN is used per paragraph 12.2.1.1.;

The following considerations shall be taken into account when calculating some of the required testing parameters provided in Table A4/3:

(a)

Vehicle Test Mass (Mveh) is the mass in running order (MRO) plus the mass of the optional fitted equipment of the vehicle (kg) on which the tested brake is mounted plus:

(i)

37.5 kg that corresponds to an additional mass of 0.5 passengers, for category 1-1 vehicles;

(ii)

25 kg plus 28 per cent of the Maximum Vehicle Load (MVL), for category 2 vehicles with a fully laden mass below 3 500 kg.

(b)

Brake Force Distribution (FAF or RAF) represents the ratio between the braking force of each axle and the total braking force on the vehicle, respectively. FAF represents the share of the braking force applied to the front axle. RAF represents the braking force share applied to the rear axle. The brake force distribution is expressed as a percentage. The brake force distribution for each vehicle (FAF or RAF) is provided by the vehicle manufacturer. The brake force distribution per the default method on UN Regulation No. 90 shall be applied only whenever the vehicle manufacturer’s specific value is not available. This corresponds to:

(i)

77 per cent for the front axle and 32 per cent for the rear axle for Category M1 vehicles;

(ii)

66 per cent for the front axle and 39 per cent for the rear axle for category 2 vehicles with a fully laden mass below 3 500 kg.

(c)

Nominal Wheel Load (WLn) represents the load on the brake under testing (front or rear) before accounting for vehicle road loads or any other type of losses. It is a function of the vehicle test mass and the brake force distribution and is calculated from Equations 8.1a and 8.1b. The nominal wheel load is used to calculate the test wheel load. Additionally, it is used to classify the brake under testing into a nominal front wheel load to disc mass group according to its (

Mveh

is the vehicle test mass in kg per Table A4/3;

FAF

is the front brake force distribution per Table A4/3;

RAF

is the rear brake force distribution per Table A4/3

(d)

Test (or applied) Wheel Load (WLt) represents the load on the brake under testing (front or rear) after accounting for vehicle road loads or any other type of losses. It is a function of the nominal wheel load and is calculated from Equations 8.2a and 8.2b. The WLt is reduced by 13 per cent compared to the WLn to account for the road loads of the vehicle during real-world operation. The WLt is applied during the entire brake emissions test including cooling adjustment, bedding, and emissions measurement sections.

Formula

(Eq. 8.2b)

(e)

Brake Effective Radius (reff) is , for disc brakes, the distance between the centre of rotation and the centreline of the calliper piston(s) when assembled on the fixture. For a drum brake, the effective radius is half of the drum's inner diameter.

(f)

Brake Nominal Inertia (In) represents the wheel load with a radius of gyration equal to the tyre dynamic rolling radius which imposes the same kinetic energy on the service brake as in the actual vehicle. It is a function of the nominal wheel load and the tyre dynamic rolling radius and is calculated from Equation 8.3:

Formula

(Eq. 8.3)

Where:

In

is the brake nominal inertia in kg·m2 per Table A4/3;

WLn

is the nominal wheel load in kg per Table A4/3;

Formula

is the tyre dynamic rolling radius in m per Table A4/3

(g)

Brake Test (or applied) Inertia (It) represents the brake nominal inertia after subtracting the decelerating forces induced by vehicle road loads or any other type of losses. The brake test inertia is the primary source of kinetic energy during braking. It is a function of the brake nominal inertia and is calculated following Equation 8.4. The brake test inertia is reduced by 13 per cent compared to the brake nominal inertia to account for the vehicle road load losses during real-world operation. The brake test inertia applies to the entire brake emissions test including cooling adjustment, bedding, and emissions measurement sections.

Formula

(Eq. 8.4)

(h)

Piston Mean (or hydraulic) Diameter (dpiston) for drum brakes is the wheel cylinder piston diameter. The dpiston for the disc brakes represents the equivalent piston diameter of the brake under testing. If the calliper contains several (n) pistons, the testing facility shall determine the piston hydraulic diameter using the equivalent individual piston diameters acting on one side of the calliper with Equation 8.5:

Formula

(Eq. 8.5)

8.2.   

Test Setup Preparation

The testing facility shall perform the following tasks before commencing a brake emissions test:

(a)

Verify the availability of all the test documentation, brake information, control program, dynamometer capabilities, and test conditions;

(b)

Update or upload the corresponding control program, test parameters and conditions, and brake information onto the brake dynamometer control system;

(c)

Install the brake disc/drum onto the test fixture and the dynamometer tailstock in accordance with the specifications described in paragraph 8.4.1. Connect with the adaptors to the main dynamometer shaft;

(d)

Measure the brake runout (BRO) by placing the dial gauge tip 10 mm away from the outer edge (OD) on the outboard or inboard surface (disc brakes). For drum brakes, measure the brake runout by placing the dial gauge radially outwards and 10 mm away from the centreline of the inner surface of the drum. Brake pads or shoes shall not be mounted during this measurement. Verify that the BRO is less than 50 μm while manually rotating the disc or drum installed on the dynamometer.Complete drum assembly after the BRO measurement. If brake parts must be detached to complete the brake assembly, verification measurement shall be done to demonstrate correct runout at final assembly. If the BRO is above 50 μm, adjustments to brake fixturing and/or inspection of the brake parts shall be made to reduce BRO to a value below 50 μm. In case the BRO before the start of the test remains above the limit defined in this paragraph, the test shall be invalid. Report the measured (actual) brake runout in Table A4/14;

(e)

Verify the torque and pressure zero levels before commencing a brake emissions test. The verification shall be carried out with the brake calliper piston(s) and brake pads fully retracted. The brake parts shall not touch the disc and the dynamometer hydraulic apply system shall be in a released state. In this position, the torque and pressure sensors shall each be adjusted per the equipment manufacturers’s specifications to read zero or as close as possible within the tolerances defined in Table A4/18 The reading shall be observed for at least 30 seconds with the brake stationary to confirm stabilisation. In the case of a drum brake, perform the adjustment with the backing plate assembly (with brake shoes) installed but without the rotating part (drum) installed.

(f)

Install the brake pads or brake shoes and perform a thorough brake bleed to remove air bubbles from the brake lines spanning from the master cylinder up to the brake;

(g)

Perform a visual inspection of the brake under testing, brake fixture, thermocouple wires, and hydraulic brake lines to ensure proper routing and connections;

(h)

Ensure all the instruments are available per the standard operating procedure defined by the instrument manufacturers on usage and cleaning. Ensure all filter media are available per the standard operating procedure defined by the filter manufacturer on filter conditioning, handling, and storage;

(i)

Brake bleeding is important to ensure there are no air bubbles left inside the brake hose. Perform static brake applications at brake pressures in the range of 300-3 000 kPa to verify the fluid displacement curve for bleed check and to visually inspect for any fluid leaks inside the enclosure. A brake fluid displacement sensor or alternative evaluation methods may be used for this operation.

Retract the brake calliper and pads to ensure no contact between the pads and the disc (in the case of a drum brake, ensure that the shoe to drum clearance is set to the nominal value recommended by the manufacturer).

(j)

Close the brake enclosure, turn on the environmental conditioning system, and verify the operation of the cooling air system in accordance with the specifications defined in paragraph 7.2.;

(k)

Apply 2 000 kPa of pressure three times (hold pressure for 2 seconds each apply) to re-set the brake (drum brakes may omit this step). Perform measurements at three different linear speeds (5 km/h, 50 km/h, and 135 km/h) by accelerating to the target speed, holding for 120 seconds (at zero brake pressure) to stabilize, and then measuring the torque signal for 30 more seconds. The drag measurement is the time-based average of this torque signal for the 30 second period. An acceleration level of 1 m/s2 for 5 km/h and 2 m/s2 for the other two target speeds shall be applied. Verify that, during the final 30 seconds of each cruise event, the measured brake drag torque (as defined in paragraph 3.3.26. of this Regulation) does not exceed 10 N·m (excluding the torque absorbed by the dynamometer bearings, if applicable, which may be measured separately with the brake not installed). If the drag torque measurement exceeds this value, repeat the procedure after re-checking BRO, clearance between moving and stationary components (including thermocouples wiring), brake bleed and fixture alignment. In case the measured drag torque for the brake assembly on test exceeds 10 N·m, the test shall be invalid;

(l)

Repeat the first brake event of the WLTP-Brake cycle ten times to verify data collection, test parameters, brake test inertia, and overall system operation;

(m)

When the cooling airflow for the axle and brake type under test is not known, adjust to a known value used for similar brakes as described in paragraph 10.1.4. Verify that the selected cooling airflow meets the specifications defined in paragraph 10. If not, adjust its value following the instructions in paragraph 10.1.4. until the nominal value is defined;

(n)

Verify the pre-test background emissions levels are within the acceptable limits as defined in paragraph 7.2.2.2.2. using the nominal cooling airflow;

(o)

Verify all instruments and devices for brake emissions measurements are enabled and running without any errors or warnings;

(p)

If no issues arise, continue with the bedding and emissions measurement sections following the procedures defined in paragraphs 11. and 12., respectively.

When the cooling airflow for the axle and brake type under test is known, the testing facility shall carry out bedding and emissions measurement with new brake parts and not the ones used for cooling adjustment. In that case, all steps in this paragraph except for point (m) shall apply to the bedding and emissions measurement section.

When the cooling airflow for the axle and brake type under test is not known, the testing facility shall carry out the cooling adjustment section, applying all steps in this paragraph except for points (h), (n), (o), and (p). Once the cooling airflow is adjusted, the testing facility shall carry out bedding and emissions measurement with new brake parts, applying all steps in this paragraph except for point (m).

8.3.   

Brake Temperature Measurement

The testing facility shall use embedded thermocouples to measure the temperature of the brake disc or drum. The following specifications apply:

(a)

Use commercially available temperature sensors containing Nickel-chromium (Chromel) and Nickel-aluminum (Alumel) conductors (Type K thermocouples);

(b)

Use embedded thermocouples with a measurement temperature range between 0 °C and a minimum of 800 °C and a maximum permissible error (tolerance) of ±2.2 °C or ±0.75 per cent of the measured value;

(c)

Use embedded thermocouples with a solid tip readily installed to embed them onto the brake components;

Additionally, the following provisions for placing the embedded thermocouples onto the brake components apply:

(d)

Disc brakes: Locate the embedded thermocouple in the outboard plate rubbing surface – radially positioned 10 mm outwards of the centre of the friction path – and recessed (0.5 ± 0.1) mm deep below the surface of the disc. On vented discs, centre the thermocouple between two fins of the disc plate. Figure A4/8 illustrates the proper installation of embedded thermocouples on brake discs. The symbol 'X' denotes the surface contact radius of the disc and the pads;

(e)

Drum brakes: Locate the embedded thermocouple at the centre of the friction path recessed (0.5 ± 0.1) mm below the inside surface of the brake drum. Figure A4/9 illustrates the proper installation of embedded thermocouples on brake drums;

(f)

The installation of embedded or other types of thermocouples for measuring brake pad or shoe temperature during brake particle emissions tests in the context of this Regulation is strongly discouraged.

Figure A4/8

Schematic installation of embedded thermocouples for brake discs

Image 16

Figure A4/9

Schematic installation of embedded thermocouples for brake drums

Image 17

Brake temperature shall be reported in the Time-Based file as described in Table A4/14 The testing facility shall use these thermocouple readings for reporting brake temperature during all testing sections. For example, the testing facility shall use the temperature readings from the embedded thermocouples in the Time-Based file (Tbrake) to verify the correct application of the initial temperature at the individual trip of the WLTP-Brake cycle, in accordance with the specifications described in paragraph 9.2.

8.4.   

Brake Positioning

8.4.1.   

Brake Assembly

The installing position of the brake assembly defines the axis of rotation of the brake assembly and at the same time the location of Planes A1 and D of the enclosure. The proper installation position is illustrated in Figure A4/10 (a) with A1 and D perpendicularly intersecting as much as possible the axis of rotation. At the same time, the brake assembly shall be installed using good engineering judgement and ensuring as much as possible that the disc thickness remains within the central section of Plane C (hatched) as shown in Figure A4/10 (b). For drum brakes, the drum friction ring shall be positioned as much as possible within this central section of Plane C.

Figure A4/10

Installation position of the brake assembly and the calliper (a) with respect to planes A1 and D, (b) with respect to Plane C

Image 18

The testing facility shall use a suitable brake fixture to mount the brake assembly by connecting the tailstock (non-rotating side) to the brake dynamometer shaft (rotating side). The minimum subsystems of the dynamometer brake fixture shall include:

(a)

Mounting components to attach the brake test fixture to the (non-rotating) tailstock;

(b)

Structural components to transfer the braking torque and forces to the tailstock;

(c)

Mounting components to take the brake calliper or the backing plate assembly for drum brakes;

(d)

Rotating parts to mount the brake disc or brake drum onto;

(e)

Rotating components to connect the shaft of the brake dynamometer to the brake disc or brake drum.

The support fixture of the brake assembly shall allow the brake to freely rotate by 360° with low friction and without exhibiting vibration or oscillations during testing. The testing facility shall mount the brake assembly on the dynamometer using a universal style (L0-U) or post-style (L0-P) brake fixture.

The L0-U allows for directly attaching the brake assembly onto the dynamometer driveshaft without a wheel hub. The L0-P allows for the installation of the specific vehicle’s bearing. Figures A4/11 and A4/12 illustrate some examples of the fixture style schematics for disc and drum brakes, respectively.

Figure A4/11

Example of allowed fixture styles schematics for disc brakes

Image 19

Figure A4/12

Example of allowed fixture styles schematics for drum brakes

Image 20

Any variant of these fixtures (one side bearing right or left or both sides bearing) may be applied provided they use an L0 style fixture as a reference (i.e. cylindrical and symmetrical base without additional extensions or protrusions different from those needed to mount the calliper assembly). For example, Figure A4/11 illustrates three different versions of an L0-U fixture: With two side bearings, one side bearing, and a cantilevered spindle.

Unique brake mounting systems for braking technologies that the L0-U or the L0-P cannot accommodate may deviate from this requirement. In such a case, the testing facility shall submit the proper documentation demonstrating the need for their use.

The testing facility shall install the brake configuration (brake disc and calliper or drum assembly) such that it always rotates in the evacuation direction when driving forward as shown in Figure A4/13

Figure A4/13

Schematic representation of disc rotation viewed from the wheel side (road side)

Image 21

When the cooling air flows in a direction from right to left (Figure A4/13 left-hand side), the disc shall rotate in a counter-clockwise direction (CCW). When the cooling air flows in a direction from left to right (Figure A4/13 right-hand side), the disc shall rotate in a clockwise direction (CW). Alternative rotation directions are not allowed and will invalidate the test.

8.4.2.   

Calliper Orientation

The testing facility shall position the calliper to minimise potential interference with the incoming cooling air. Install the calliper above the disc with the centre of the calliper in a 12-o’clock position as illustrated in Figure A4/13 irrespective of the mounting position on the vehicle. Other calliper orientations (e.g. vehicle’s mounting position) or configurations are not allowed and shall invalidate the test. The parking brake shall not be dismounted for carrying out a brake emissions test. The motor-gear unit shall not be dismounted from the electric parking brake calliper or the e-drum brake to perform a brake emissions test.

9.   

WLTP-Brake Cycle

9.1.   

General Information

The testing cycle for all types of brakes shall be the time-based WLTP-Brake cycle. The WLTP-Brake cycle demands the continuous control of the equivalent linear speed on the brake dynamometer. Figure A4/14 illustrates the time-resolved speed trace of the WLTP-Brake cycle.

Figure A4/14

Time-resolved vehicle speed for the WLTP-Brake cycle and classification of trip numbers

Image 22

In summary, the WLTP-Brake cycle includes:

(a)

Ten (10) individual trips (Trips #1 - #10) that repres ent different driving and braking conditions. The trips are separated by cooling sections. The trips’ numbers are indicated on the right-hand side Y-axis in Figure A4/14;

(b)

15 826 seconds of active speed control, without including the cooling sections between the individual trips of the cycle. The speed trace of the WLTP-Brake cycle is given in Appendix 1;

(c)

303 brake deceleration events. The main properties of each individual brake deceleration event are described in Appendix 2;

(d)

192 km of total distance driven with an average speed of 43.7 km/h and a maximum speed of 132.5 km/h;

(e)

An average brake deceleration rate of 0.97 m/s2. A maximum brake deceleration rate of 2.18 m/s2;

(f)

An average brake deceleration duration of 5.7 s. A maximum brake deceleration duration of 15 s.

9.2.   

WLTP-Brake Cycle Application

9.2.1.   

Cooling Adjustment Section

The cooling air adjustment for testing different brakes shall be carried out using Trip #10 of the WLTP-Brake cycle as described in paragraph 10. of this Annex. Specific provisions related to the brake temperature at the beginning of Trip #10 apply to the cooling adjustment section. The testing facility shall perform the following steps:

(a)

Set the cooling airflow to the nominal value determined in paragraph 10;

(b)

Warm the brake to (40±1) °C following a sequence of brake events #1 to #7 of Trip #10 (brake events #190 to #196 when the entire WLTP-Brake cycle is considered) with a subsequent cooling phase down to (40±1) °C;

(c)

In case the target temperature cannot be reached with the application of the sequence described in (b), select one of the brake events #1 to #7 of Trip #10 and repeat it several times until the brake temperature reaches (40±1) °C;

(d)

Commence Trip #10 of the WLTP-Brake cycle at a brake temperature of (40±1) °C;

(e)

Run Trip #10 of the WLTP-Brake cycle without any interruption. Paragraph 9.3.1. describes the necessary actions in the case of interruptions.

Failure to comply with the described brake temperature provisions shall result in an invalid cooling adjustment. In such a case, the testing facility shall repeat the cooling adjustment section by applying a different airflow. The same brake parts are allowed to be used for repeating the cooling adjustment.

9.2.2.   

Bedding Section

Bedding and subsequent emissions measurement sections shall be carried out with new parts. The bedding procedure consists of five consecutive runs of the WLTP-Brake cycle as described in paragraph 11. of this Annex. The correct execution of each WLTP-Brake cycle involves the performance of all ten trips in succession. Specific provisions related to the brake temperature at the beginning of each WLTP-Brake cycle apply to the bedding procedure. The testing facility shall carry out the following steps:

(a)

Set the cooling airflow to the nominal value for the brake under testing, following the procedure described in paragraph 10.;

(b)

Commence the first run of the WLTP-Brake cycle at a brake temperature of (25 ± 5) °C;

(c)

Do not apply soaking sections between the individual trips of the WLTP-Brake cycle during the bedding procedure.

(d)

Apply soaking sections between the five repetitions of the WLTP-Brake cycle. Commence each of the subsequent four WLTP-Brake cycles when the brake temperature decreases to 40 °C;

(e)

If the brake temperature at the end of the previous WLTP-Brake cycle is between 30 °C and 40 °C, commence the subsequent WLTP-Brake cycle immediately without any intervention to warm the brake;

(f)

If the brake temperature at the end of the previous WLTP-Brake cycle is below 30 °C, discontinue the bedding section and identify discrepancies in the test execution or repeat the cooling adjustment. After fixing the issue, repeat the bedding section from the beginning;

(g)

Run the five individual WLTP-Brake cycles consecutively without any interruption. Paragraph 9.3.2. describes the necessary actions in the case of interruptions.

The minimum threshold temperature of 30 °C specified in this paragraph applies to all tested brakes. Failure to comply with the described brake temperature provisions shall result in an invalid bedding test and the testing facility shall repeat the bedding section. A new set of brake parts shall be used in the case of repeating the bedding procedure.

9.2.3.   

Emissions Measurement Section

The correct execution of the WLTP-Brake cycle involves the performance of all ten trips in succession. Soaking sections are mandatory between the individual trips of the WLTP-Brake cycle during the execution of the emissions measurement section. Specific provisions related to the brake temperature at the beginning of each trip of the WLTP-Brake cycle apply to the emissions measurement. The testing facility shall carry out the following steps:

(a)

Set the cooling airflow to the nominal value for the brake under testing following the procedure described in paragraph 10.;

(b)

Commence Trip #1 of the WLTP-Brake cycle at a brake temperature of (25 ± 5) °C, without conducting any warm-up stops or snubs;

(c)

Apply soaking sections between the ten trips of the WLTP-Brake cycle. Commence each of Trips #2-10 as soon as the brake temperature decreases to 40 °C;

(d)

For Trips #2-10, if the brake temperature at the end of the previous trip is between 30 °C and 40 °C, commence the subsequent trip immediately without any intervention to warm the brake disc. For rear brakes the value of 30 °C is lowered to 20 °C;

(e)

For Trips #2-10, if the brake temperature at the end of the previous trip is below 30 °C (20 °C for rear brakes), discontinue the emissions test and identify discrepancies in the test execution or repeat the cooling adjustment. After fixing the issue, repeat from the beginning of the bedding section using a new set of brake parts;

(f)

Run the WLTP-Brake cycle without any interruption. Paragraph 9.3.3. describes the necessary actions in the case of interruptions;

(g)

In case of active brake filtering devices, the testing facility shall use the “Brake Pressure” and “Linear Speed” signals to activate the filtering function at the brake event start time as defined in paragraph 13.1. In such a case, the active filtering function may be deactivated up to maximum 5 seconds after the brake event end time as defined in paragraph 13.1.

The minimum threshold temperature of 30 °C specified in this paragraph applies to all brakes. Failure to comply with the described brake temperature provisions shall result in an invalid emissions test.

9.3.   

WLTP-Brake Cycle Interruptions

9.3.1.   

Cooling Adjustment Section

If the test is interrupted (or the dynamometer faults) during the cooling adjustment section, the testing facility shall discontinue the test and restart the cooling adjustment procedure from the beginning. In such a case, after performing a data review and a visual inspection without disturbing the brake assembly, the testing facility may use the same brake assembly to proceed with the next iteration of Trip #10 and finalise the cooling adjustment section. If upon inspection there are reasons to compromise the test (loose components, brake fluid leakage, incorrect mounting, excessive vibration, etc.), the testing facility shall mount a new brake assembly and repeat the procedure in accordance with the specifications described in paragraph 8.2.

9.3.2.   

Bedding Section

If the test is interrupted (or the dynamometer faults) during the bedding section, the testing facility shall continue bedding from the point of interruption considering the last recorded timestamp in the Time-Based file with non-zero values for the braking parameters. The testing facility shall not conduct any warm-up stops or snubs to reach 30 °C if the actual brake temperature is lower. The testing facility shall not disassemble the parts. If the brake parts are disassembled after the beginning of the bedding section, they are no longer suitable for completing bedding and the subsequent emissions measurement. In such a case, the testing facility shall replace them with new brake parts and repeat the bedding procedure from the beginning.

In the case that the bedding section is interrupted for a second time, the testing facility shall declare the test invalid, discard the used parts, and use new ones to carry out a new test including bedding and emissions sections.

9.3.3.   

Emissions Measurement Section

If the test is interrupted during the emissions measurement section (including soaking), the testing facility shall discontinue the emissions measurement section, declare the test invalid, discard the used parts, and use new ones to carry out a new test including bedding and emissions sections.

9.4.   

WLTP-Brake Cycle Quality Checks

The following quality checks shall be carried out to verify the correct execution of the WLTP-Brake cycle. A valid emissions test shall comply with all the criteria described below.

9.4.1.   

Speed Violations Check

The speed violations quality check is necessary to ensure that the brake dynamometer has correctly executed the WLTP-Brake cycle speed trace. A speed violation occurs whenever the actual speed of the dynamometer is outside the speed trace tolerances defined by the prescribed (nominal) speed.

(a)

Upper-speed tolerance: 2.0 km/h higher than the nominal linear speed trace within ±1.0 second of the given point in time;

(b)

Lower-speed tolerance: 2.0 km/h lower than the nominal linear speed trace within ±1.0 second of the given point in time;

Figure A4/15 depicts the upper and lower speed tolerance limits as applied in the WLTP-Brake cycle.

Figure A4/15

Tolerance limits for speed violations during the WLTP-Brake cycle

Image 23

(c)

During the cooling adjustment section, the number of speed violations shall not exceed 158 for each complete Trip #10 of the WLTP-Brake cycle. This corresponds to 3 per cent of the Trip #10 duration;

(d)

During the bedding section, the number of speed violations shall not exceed 475 for each complete WLTP-Brake cycle. This corresponds to 3 per cent of the WLTP-Brake cycle duration and applies to all five repetitions of the WLTP-Brake cycle;

(e)

During the emissions measurement section, the number of speed violations shall not exceed 475 for each complete WLTP-Brake cycle. This corresponds to 3 per cent of the WLTP-Brake cycle duration. Soaking sections shall not be included in the calculation;

(f)

Calculate and report the number of speed violations in all sections as defined in Table A4/14 The computation of speed violations shall include all types of events (dwell, acceleration, cruising, and deceleration) but not soaking sections;

(g)

Failure to run Trip #10 of the WLTP-Brake cycle during the cooling adjustment section or the entire WLTP-Brake cycle during the bedding and emissions measurement sections within the speed tolerances defined in this paragraph shall result in an invalid brake emissions test.

9.4.2.   

Number of Deceleration Events

This quality check examines the number of executed brake events. It is necessary to ensure that all 303 brake events of the WLTP-Brake cycle were applied during the emissions measurement section. A violation of this criterion occurs whenever the actual number of applied brake events is not equal to the nominal value (i.e. 303).

The testing facility shall verify the number of applied brake events as defined in Table A4/14 The parameters “Stop Duration” and “Deceleration Rate - Distance Averaged” shall be cross-checked and verified that both include 303 numerical and non-zero values that correspond to the respective 303 brake events of the WLTP-Brake cycle.

This quality check applies only to the emissions measurement section. Failure to perform the 303 brake events of the WLTP-Brake cycle during the emissions measurement section as defined in this paragraph shall result in an invalid test.

9.4.3.   

Kinetic Energy Dissipation

The kinetic energy dissipation quality check is necessary to ensure the application of the correct amount of specific friction work (wf) during the execution of the WLTP-Brake cycle. It is also an additional quality check that other input parameters (e.g. brake test inertia) have been calculated and applied correctly. This quality check applies to all brakes equipped on vehicles within the scope of this Regulation. The parameters of the brake corner emissions family parent vehicle shall be used for the calculations when testing non-friction braking.

A violation of the kinetic energy dissipation quality check occurs whenever the sum of the calculated specific friction work of all brake events throughout Trip #10 of the WLTP-Brake cycle (for the cooling adjustment section) and the entire WLTP-Brake cycle (for the bedding or emissions measurement sections) is outside the defined tolerances:

(a)

Trip #10 upper specific friction work tolerance: 278 J/kg higher than the nominal specific friction work value of 5 557 J/kg. Thus, the upper specific friction work tolerance is 5 835 J/kg;

(b)

Trip #10 lower specific friction work tolerance: 278 J/kg lower than the nominal specific friction work value of 5 557 J/kg. Thus, the lower specific friction work tolerance is 5 279 J/kg;

(c)

WLTP-Brake cycle upper specific friction work tolerance: 799 J/kg higher than the nominal specific friction work value of 15 986 J/kg. Thus, the upper specific friction work tolerance is 16 785 J/kg;

(d)

WLTP-Brake cycle lower specific friction work tolerance: 799 J/kg lower than the nominal specific friction work value of 15 986 J/kg. Thus, the lower specific friction work tolerance is 15 187 J/kg;

(e)

During the cooling adjustment section, the calculated specific friction work over Trip #10 shall be between 5 279 J/kg and 5 835 J/kg. This corresponds to ±5 per cent of the nominal value;

(f)

During the bedding section, the calculated specific friction work over the WLTP-Brake cycle shall be between 15 187 J/kg and 16 785 J/kg. This corresponds to ±5 per cent of the nominal value and applies to all five repetitions of the WLTP-Brake cycle;

(g)

During the emissions measurement section, the calculated specific friction work over the WLTP-Brake cycle shall be between 15 187 J/kg and 16 785 J/kg. This corresponds to ±5 per cent of the nominal value. Soaking sections shall not be included in the calculation;

(h)

The testing facility shall calculate the specific friction work for each brake event using the fast actual torque signal and the fast rotational speed signal of the test system. The integration shall start 1.0 s before the brake deceleration event starts until 1.0 s after the brake deceleration event ends according to Equation 9.1:

Formula

(Eq. 9.1)

Where:

wf,n

is the specific friction work of the nth brake deceleration event in J/kg;

WLt

is the test (or applied) wheel load in kg per Table A4/3;

tstart,nom,n

is the start time of the nth nominal brake deceleration event in s;

tend,nom, n

is the end time of the nth nominal brake deceleration event in s;

f(t)

is the fast rotational speed signal in 1/min;

τbrake

is the fast brake torque signal in N·m;

Both, brake deceleration event start time and brake deceleration end time for each event is identified based on fast nominal linear speed. The acceleration is calculated based on the fast nominal speed. A specific brake event starts at the first time this acceleration value exceeds 0.25 m/s2 and ends at the first time this acceleration value falls below 0.25 m/s2.

(i)

Equation 9.1 provides the specific friction work for each one of the 114 and 303 brake events of Trip #10 and the WLTP-Brake cycle, respectively. The testing facility shall calculate the total specific friction work by summing the calculated specific friction work from the individual brake events. The total specific friction work shall be compared to the prescribed (nominal) specific friction work value as described in points (a)-(c) of this paragraph;

(j)

Failure to complete any of the sections of the brake emissions test with a total specific friction work within the tolerances defined in this paragraph shall result in an invalid test.

10.   

Cooling Airflow Adjustment

Different test systems can embody different combinations of brake enclosure design and size, airflow or airspeed levels, and duct system layout and geometry. This paragraph establishes the proper methodology to adjust the airstream speed to provide comparable brake thermal regimes across the testing facilities.

10.1.   

Method Description

10.1.1.   

Definition of Brake Assembly Groups and Verification Parameters

To determine the appropriate cooling airflow for the brake under testing, the testing facility shall first classify the brake into a nominal front wheel load (WLn-f) to disc or drum (in case a drum is used as a front brake) mass (DM) group according to its (WLn-f/DM) ratio.

The WLn-f/DM ratio is calculated by dividing the WLn-f (kg) by the pre-test disc or drum (in case a drum is used as a front brake) mass (kg). The testing facility shall determine the WLn-f following the specifications described in paragraph 8.1. (c).

Four different groups are defined based on the WLn-f/DM ratio: Group 1 with WLn-f/DM ≤ 45; Group 2 with 45 < WLn-f/DM ≤ 65; Group 3 with 65 < WLn-f/DM ≤ 85; Group 4 with WLn-f/DM > 85.

The testing facility shall apply the test wheel load (WLt) described in paragraph 8.1. (d) – and not the nominal wheel load (WLn) – during the execution of all sections of the brake emissions test.

Three check parameters have been defined for the cooling air adjustment of the brake under testing. The target values and allowed tolerances for these parameters differ for each WLn-f/DM group. The testing facility shall use the following parameters as a reference against which the cooling adjustment test results shall be compared:

(a)

Average brake temperature over Trip #10 of the WLTP-Brake cycle (ABT);

(b)

Average initial brake temperature of six selected brake events from Trip #10 of the WLTP-Brake cycle (IBT);

(c)

Average final brake temperature of six selected brake events from Trip #10 of the WLTP-Brake cycle (FBT).

The brake events referred to (b) and (c) of this paragraph are #46, #101, #102, #103, #104, and #106 of Trip #10. The details of the target brake events are specified in Table A4/4 When the entire WLTP-Brake cycle is considered, the brake events’ corresponding sequence numbers are #235, #290, #291, #292, #293, and #295.

(d)

All three criteria shall be fulfilled for the successful completion of the cooling airflow adjustment section. In case the cooling adjustment test does not meet all metrics from Table A4/5, the testing facility shall repeat the procedure adjusting the cooling airflow accordingly. If multiple cooling airflows meet the requirements for all metrics in Table A4/5, the testing facility shall select the cooling airflow that is closer to 950 Nm3/h and meets all requirements defined for isokinetic sampling in paragraph 12.;

(e)

If there is no suitable cooling airflow meeting all three metrics specified in Table A4/5, the testing facility shall select a suitable cooling airflow that fulfils the acceptable criteria for at least two parameters, one of which shall always be the average Trip #10 temperature (ABT). In such a case, if the measured brake temperature for the failing metric (IBT or FBT) is below the lower threshold value specified in Table A4/5, the testing facility shall demonstrate that a test with the minimum operational flow of the system was performed. If the measured brake temperature for the failing metric (IBT or FBT) is higher than the upper threshold value specified in Table A4/5, the testing facility shall demonstrate that a test with the maximum operational flow of the system was performed. The corresponding Event-Based and Time-Based files for the non-successful cooling adjustment tests shall be included in the test output;

In such a case, the reporting data shall include the ABT, IBT, and FBT values derived from the cooling adjustment section with the application of the maximum operational flow. The corresponding Event-Based and Time-Based files shall be included in the test output.

The test facility shall use the front axle to determine the cooling airflow for both axles—irrespective of the type or size of the brake mounted on the rear axle. The testing facility shall carry out the following steps to adjust the cooling airflow when testing a brake for the first time on a given dynamometer for a given vehicle:

(a)

Follow the test setup preparation specifications described in paragraph 8.2.;

(b)

Adjust the cooling airflow to a known value used for similar brakes. In the absence of a useful reference, use 950 Nm3/h to start the test;

(c)

Perform one run of Trip #10 of the WLTP-Brake cycle starting at a brake temperature of 40 °C. Warm up the brake to 40 °C following the instructions given in paragraph 9.2.1.;

(d)

Perform the calculations using paragraph 10.1.3. and assess the results and deviations for the target parameters;

(e)

If the test run meets all the metrics from Table A4/5, finish the process and prepare the test report in accordance with the specifications described in paragraph 13. In this case, the cooling airflow used in (b) is defined as the nominal airflow for the given brake (Qset);

(f)

In the case of front brakes, proceed with the subsequent sections of the brake emissions test, ensuring the application of the same dynamometer settings as in the cooling adjustment procedure. The testing facility shall use a new set of brake parts to perform bedding and emissions testingThe testing facility may use the same calliper as during the cooling air adjustment section for both bedding and emissions testing sections;

(g)

In the case of rear brakes, proceed with the subsequent sections of the brake emissions test ensuring the application of the appropriate dynamometer settings for the rear axle. The required cooling airflow shall be the same as the value determined for the front axle brake of the corresponding vehicle. If different front axle brake cooling airflows meet the requirements for all metrics in Table A4/5, the testing facility shall select the cooling airflow that is closer to 950 Nm3/h provided that it meets the requirements defined for isokinetic sampling in paragraph 12.;

(h)

If the test run does not meet all the metrics from Table A4/5, use sound engineering judgement to determine a new cooling airflow level and repeat the process from step (a). The same set of brakes may be used for repeating the cooling airflow adjustment section; however, it shall always be replaced by new parts for bedding and emissions measurement sections.

(e)

Run each repetition of the WLTP-Brake cycle without the application of soaking sections between the individual trips of the WLTP-Brake cycle. Soaking sections shall apply only between the five repetitions of the WLTP-Brake cycle (i.e. between Trip #10 of a given WLTP-Brake cycle and Trip #1 of the following WLTP-Brake cycle);

(f)

Commence the first WLTP-Brake cycle of the bedding section at a brake temperature of (23 ± 5) °C. Commence the subsequent four repetitions of the WLTP-Brake cycle in accordance with the temperature provisions described in paragraph 9.2.2.;

(g)

Perform the bedding section on the same dynamometer as for the emissions measurement section. Do not disassemble the brake parts between the two sections of the test to avoid modifying the contact points. If the brake parts are disassembled after the beginning of the bedding procedure, they are no longer suitable for completing bedding and emissions measurements. In such a case, the testing facility shall replace them with new brake parts and repeat the bedding procedure from the beginning.

Failure to comply with any of the provisions described in this paragraph shall result in an invalid bedding procedure. In such a case, it is not possible to proceed with the emissions measurement section. The testing facility shall perform the bedding procedure from the beginning using new brake parts.

(b)

Define all relevant testing parameters and dynamometer settings (testing wheel load, brake test inertia, etc.) for the rear axle and use the same in the emissions measurement section;

(c)

Apply five repetitions of the WLTP-Brake cycle for complete bedding of the rear brake under testing;

(d)

The five WLTP-Brake cycles shall run consecutively without any interruption. If the test is interrupted during the bedding section, the testing facility shall follow the instructions defined in paragraph 9.3.2.;

(e)

Run each repetition of the WLTP-Brake cycle without the application of soaking sections between the individual trips of the WLTP-Brake cycle. Soaking sections shall apply only between the five repetitions of the WLTP-Brake cycle (i.e. between Trip #10 of a given WLTP-Brake cycle and Trip #1 of the following WLTP-Brake cycle);

(f)

Commence the first WLTP-Brake cycle of the bedding section at a brake temperature of (23 ± 5) °C. Commence the subsequent four repetitions of the WLTP-Brake cycle following the temperature provisions described in paragraph 9.2.2.;

(g)

Perform the bedding section on the same dynamometer as for the emissions measurement section. Do not disassemble the brake parts between the two sections of the test to avoid modifying the contact points. If the brake parts are disassembled after the beginning of the bedding procedure, they are no longer suitable for completing bedding and emissions measurements. In such a case, the testing facility shall replace them with new brake parts and repeat the bedding procedure from the beginning.

Failure to comply with any of the provisions described in this paragraph shall result in an invalid bedding procedure. In such a case, it is not possible to proceed with the emissions measurement section. The testing facility shall perform the bedding procedure from the beginning using new brake parts.

12.1.2.4.   

Isokinetic Ratio

Sampling is defined as isokinetic when the airspeed in the sampling tunnel and the sampling nozzle are equal. The airspeed is calculated from the airflow values in the tunnel and in the nozzle taking into account their inner diameters (di and dn, respectively). Equations 12.1 and 12.2 apply for the calculation of the airspeed in the sampling tunnel and the sampling nozzle:

Formula

(Eq. 12.1)

Formula

(Eq. 12.2)

Where:

U

is the average airspeed in the tunnel in km/h;

US

is the average speed of the sampling air entering the nozzle in km/h;

Q

is the average airflow in the tunnel in m3/h per Table A4/10;

QS

is the average airflow in the sampling nozzle in m3/h;

dn

is the inner diameter at the nozzle tip in mm;

di

is the sampling tunnel’s inner diameter in mm per Table A4/1

The isokinetic ratio is defined as the ratio of the airspeed in the sampling nozzle to the airspeed in the sampling tunnel. Equation 12.3 provides the means to calculate the isokinetic ratio by combining Equations 12.1 and 12.2. The airflow values in the sampling tunnel and the nozzle shall refer to the same temperature and pressure conditions; therefore, normalised values shall be used to ensure comparability also between different testing facilities:

Formula

(Eq. 12.3)

Where:

IR

is the isokinetic ratio;

NQS

is the average normalised airflow in the sampling nozzle in Nm3/h;

NQ

Weighing Procedure

Only the filter shall be weighed and not any other part of the measurement equipment. The testing facility shall ensure that the different steps of the weighing procedure are carried out according to the following requirements:

(a)

Weighing room – The weighing room environment shall be free of any ambient contaminants (such as dust, aerosol, or semi-volatile material) that could contaminate the particle filters. Regulate the weighing room environmental conditions at 22 ± 2 °C and 45 ± 8 per cent RH. Make sure that the air flow for the air exchange does not influence the balance stability;

(b)

Weighing balance – Use the same microbalance for both pre-sampling and post-sampling weighing for a given brake emission test. Isolate the balance from vibrations, electrostatic forces, and air streams. Place the balance in a controlled environment – the weighing chamber or room – in accordance with the specifications described in point (a) of this paragraph. The balance resolution shall be of at least 1 μg. Use certified calibration weights to verify the stability and the proper function of the microbalance. The microbalance shall fulfil the calibration requirements described in paragraph 14.4.;

(c)

Static electricity effects – Nullify the effects of static electricity by grounding the balance through placement upon an antistatic mat and neutralising the particle sampling filters before weighing using a polonium neutralizer or a device of similar effect. Alternatively, nullify static effects through equalisation of static charge;

(d)

Pre-sampling conditioning and weighing – Condition/stabilise the filters at (22 ± 2) °C and (45 ± 8) per cent RH for a minimum of 2 hours before weighing. Weigh the filter at the end of the stabilisation period following the procedure described in (g) of this paragraph and register its weight in all relevant test sheets. No deviation from the conditions specified in this paragraph is permitted during the weighing operation. Store the filter in a closed petri dish (or equivalent) or sealed filter holder until testing. Place the filter in the filter holder within 1h of its removal from the weighing chamber (or room). Use the closed petri dish (or equivalent) or sealed filter holder to transfer the filter to the test rig. Alternatively, mount the filter in the filter holder already in the weighing chamber;

(e)

Post-sampling conditioning and weighing – Take the filters to the conditioning room within 8 hours after testing is completed. The filters may remain in the testing room (i.e. the room where the filter holder is located) for a longer period of time provided that they remain sealed within the filter holder and that the temperature in the testing room remains within (15-30) °C. Use a closed petri dish (or equivalent) or sealed filter holder to transfer the filter to the conditioning room. Alternatively, transfer the filter without removing it from the filter holder, ensuring that filter holders are not tilted during transfer. Condition/stabilise the filters at (22 ± 2) °C and (45 ± 8) per cent RH for a minimum of 2 hours. Weigh the filter at the end of the stabilisation period following the procedure described in (g) of this paragraph and register its weight in all relevant test sheets. No deviation from the conditions specified in this paragraph is permitted during the weighing operation. Store the filter in a closed petri dish (or equivalent) or sealed filter holder;

(f)

Reference filter weighing – Use reference filters to validate PM weighing following the procedure shown in Figure A4/17 and described below:

(i)

At least two unused fluorocarbon coated glass fibre or fluorocarbon membrane reference filters that match each sampled filter media shall be weighed within 12 hours of the sample filter weighing;

(ii)

If the reference filters are not weighed on a regular (at least daily) basis, they shall be weighed at the beginning and the end of a sample weighing session (before pre-sampling and after post-sampling weighing);

(iii)

Compare the reference filter specific weights obtained in step (i) or (ii) to the rolling average of that reference filter's specific weights. The rolling average shall be calculated from the specific weights collected in the period since the reference filters were placed in the weighing room, including the weights measured in step (i) or (ii);

(iv)

The average of the absolute values of the difference between the reference filter weights and their rolling average shall be less than 10 μg. Additionally, in the case of reference filters not weighed regularly, the average difference between the initial and final measurement for the reference filter shall be less than 10 μg;

(v)

Replace the reference filters at a maximum every 30 days and in such a manner that no sample filter is weighted without comparison to a reference filter that has been present in the weighing chamber (room) for at least two days;

(vi)

Report only the buoyancy-corrected weights in the Mass Measurement File per paragraph 13.3.2.

(g)

Sample filter weighing – Follow the procedure described below to perform both pre- and post-sampling filter weighing:

(i)

Weigh the filter twice and report the buoyancy-corrected weights in the Mass Measurement File;

(ii)

If the difference between the first and second measurements is 10 μg or less, use the arithmetic mean to calculate the Pe(Uncorrected) and Pe(Corrected) weights in accordance with point (h) of this paragraph;

(iii)

If the difference between the first and second measurements is greater than 10 μg, perform two additional weighings and report the buoyancy-corrected weights in the Mass Measurement File;

(iv)

When the difference between the minimum and maximum weights of the four measurements is 13 μg or less, use the arithmetic mean of the four weights to calculate the Pe(Uncorrected) and Pe(Corrected) weights in accordance with point (h) of this paragraph;

(v)

When the difference between the minimum and maximum weights of the four measurements is greater than 13 μg and less than or equal to 15 μg, use the median of the four values to calculate the Pe(Uncorrected) and Pe(Corrected) weights in accordance with point (h) of this paragraph. The median value is the arithmetic mean of the second-lowest and the third-lowest values among the four weights taken;

(vi)

When the difference between the minimum and maximum weights of the four measurements is greater than 15 μg invalidate the weighing session and quarantine the filter in the conditioning room. The testing facility may decide to void the filter and replace it with a new filter for a pre-sampling weighing session, or discard the filter and repeat the brake emissions test for a post-sampling weighing session;

(vii)

After a minimum of 24h take the filter out of quarantine and weigh it twice in accordance with points (i) and (ii) in this paragraph;

(viii)

If the difference between the first and second new measurements is greater than 10 μg, void the filter and reject the weighing session. Use a new filter for a pre-sampling weighing session, or discard the filter and repeat the brake emissions test for a post-sampling weighing session.

(h)

Buoyancy correction – Correct the sample and reference filter weights for their buoyancy in air. The buoyancy correction is a function of sampling filter density, air density, and the density of the balance calibration weight. It does not account for the buoyancy of the particulate matter itself.

Use the following values for the density of the filter material (pf) when it is not known: (a) Fluorocarbon coated glass fibre filter: 2300 kg/m3; (b) Fluorocarbon membrane filter: 2144 kg/m3.

Use a density (pw) of 8000 kg/m3 for stainless steel calibration weights or the known density for different calibration weight materials. Follow the International Recommendation OIML R 111-1 Edition 2004(E) (or equivalent) from the International Organization of Legal Metrology on calibration weights.

Use the uncorrected average filter mass measurement to calculate the buoyance-corrected average filter mass measurement for PM2.5 and PM10 filters (pre- and post-sampling) following Equation 12.5. Report the corrected measurements in the Mass Measurement File:

Formula

pa

is the density of air in the balance room per Equation 12.6 in kg/m3;

(i)

Filter load – Subtract the average pre-sampling filter mass measurement from the post-sampling filter mass measurement. Use the buoyance-corrected average filter mass measurements calculated in point (h) of this paragraph. Calculate and report both PM2.5 (Pe(2.5)) and PM10 (Pe(10)) filter loads in the Mass Measurement File. Report the PM2.5 and PM10 filter loads as specified in Table A4/14;

(j)

Storage and transfer conditions – Keep weighed filters in appositely made filter boxes designed to host the specific filter size. Use stainless steel forceps or tongs for filter handling. Minimise filter movement within the Petri dishes/bags and transport as much as possible. Carefully install the particle sample filter into the filter holder. Rough or abrasive filter handling will result in erroneous weight determination.

PN Sampling Flow

The PN measurement system shall meet the following provisions for the regulation and measurement of the sampling flow (i.e. flow at the PN sampling probe):

(a)

The method of measuring the flow of the sampling and measurement system shall have a maximum permissible error of ±5 per cent of the reading under all operating conditions;

(b)

A flow measurement device calibrated to report flow at standard conditions shall be used. When the flow measurement device is not calibrated to report values at standard conditions, it shall include a temperature sensor installed before the measuring device. To ensure an appropriate conversion, the temperature sensor shall have an accuracy of ±1.0 °C and the pressure measurement shall have an accuracy of ±1.0 kPa; this measurement shall be used to convert flow values;

(c)

The actual normalised sampling flow (NQSPN10) shall not deviate more than ±10 per cent of the average value for the given test. Use a device with a flow control feature (e.g. critical orifice, pressure regulator, feedback controller, or other) to ensure a stable flow;

(d)

Register the actual normalised sampling flow and report it at a frequency of 1Hz in the Time-Based file. Report the average actual normalised sampling flows as specified in paragraph 13.4.;

(e)

Ensure the average isokinetic ratio during the emissions measurement section of a specific brake is between 0.60 and 1.50;

(f)

Use Equation 12.4 to calculate the average isokinetic ratio for SPN10. Use the corresponding values for the isokinetic nozzle inner diameters for SPN10 sampling. Use the data of the average normalised tunnel flow (NQ) and the average normalised sample flows NQSPN10) in the Time-Based file. Report the calculated values as specified in Table A4/14;

(g)

If the sampling flow or the isokinetic requirements set out in this paragraph are not met, the test shall be invalid;

(h)

The PN sampling devices shall operate continuously during the brake emissions measurement section. This includes also the cooling sections between the individual trips of the WLTP-Brake cycle where the PN sampling flow shall not be paused or bypass the main sampling line. The PN sampling devices shall operate until the post-test background verification is completed.

12.2.4.   

PN Emissions Calculation

The testing facility shall report PN emissions in the number of particles per distance driven. The calculation of the reference (or initial) SPN10 emission factor for the tested brake (EFref) follows Equation 12.12.

Reserved

(Eq. 12.11)

Formula

(Eq. 12.12)

Where:

SPN10 EFref

is the number of SPN10 per distance driven for the tested brake in #/km;

SPN10 #

is the average normalised and PCRF-corrected SPN10 emissions in #/Ncm3 per Table A4/10;

NQ

is the average normalised airflow in the sampling tunnel in Nm3/h per Table A4/10;

V

is the average actual velocity of the WLTP-Brake cycle in km/h per Table A4/10

Calculate the average normalised and PCRF-corrected SPN10 emissions from the given parameters in the Time-Based file;

(b)

Calculate the average normalised tunnel flow (NQ) and the average velocity of the WLTP-Brake cycle (V) over the emissions measurement section from the given parameters in the Time-Based file;

(c)

Calculate the SPN10 EFref of the tested brake following Equation12.12. Then, use the friction braking share coefficient either in Table 4 or measured according to Annex 5 of this Regulation to calculate the final SPN10 EF of the tested brake. In case the friction braking share coefficient is taken from Table 4, apply the friction braking share coefficient that corresponds to the vehicle electrification type of which the parameters were used for testing the brake. Use Equation12.14 for the calculation of the final SPN10:

Reserved

(Eq. 12.13)

Formula

(Eq. 12.14)

(d)

SPN10 EF as specified in Table A4/14;

(e)

In case the measured SPN10 emissions are out of the specified measurement range of the PNC device, the test shall be invalid.

12.2.5.   

PN System Verification Procedures

The testing facility shall apply the following PN system check procedures to verify the whole system is fully operational:

(a)

The flow into the PNC shall have a measured value within ±5 per cent of the PNC nominal flow rate when checked with a calibrated flow meter. Here the term ‘nominal flow rate’ refers to the flow rate stated in the documentation of the last calibration for the PNC. The testing facility shall perform this check every month;

(b)

A zero check on the PNC using a filter of appropriate performance at the PNC inlet shall report a concentration of ≤0.2 #/cm3. Upon removal of the filter, the PNC shall show an increase in measured concentration and a return to 0.2 #/cm3 or less on replacement of the filter. The PNC shall not report any errors. The testing facility shall perform this check for every brake emissions test;

(c)

The PNC shall report a measured concentration of less than 0.5 #/cm3 (without applying any PCRF correction) when a HEPA filter of at least class H13 (EN 1822:2008), or equivalent performance, is attached to the inlet of the sample conditioning system. The testing facility shall perform this check before each brake emissions test;

(d)

Before the start of each brake emissions test, the testing facility shall confirm that the measurement system indicates that the sample conditioning system has reached its correct operating temperatures.

12.3.   

Mass Loss Measurement

The mass loss of the brake under testing provides helpful information regarding the robustness and correctness of the overall test procedure. It can serve as an indicator of potential issues during the brake emissions test execution.

The testing facility shall measure the initial and final mass of the brake assembly before and after testing. Make sure not to disrupt the brake assembly during the brake emissions test. Since new parts shall be used after cooling air adjustment, the initial mass corresponds to the mass measured before commencing the bedding section and the final mass corresponds to the mass measured after the emissions measurement section. All measurements shall be carried out according to the following procedure:

(a)

Vacuum-clean the parts before conducting the measurements to remove any possible contamination;

(b)

Inspect all brake parts for burrs, cracks, voids, or detachments and record accordingly. If there are not such problems proceed with the initial measurements;

(c)

Weigh each part separately with the thermocouple installed and the thermocouple connector removed (in the case of discs and drums). Report the initial mass in the Mass Measurement File;

(d)

Weigh the brake friction material including the anti-noise shims, pad-shim springs, and other elements when part of the product assembly. Remove the adhesive tape from the brake pads, the grease if present on the friction material abutments, connectors, and other relevant removable components before weighing. The mass of removable components must be reflected in the same way (included or excluded) during both pre-testing and post-testing mass measurement. Report the initial masses in the Mass Measurement File;

(e)

Use a weighing scale of a resolution of at least 0.1 g or better for parts below 20 kg of total weight. Use certified calibration weights to verify the stability and the proper function of the balance, regularly (Table A4/15). The microbalance shall fulfil the calibration requirements described in paragraph 14.4. It is recommended to install the weighing scale in a room with controlled air and humidity conditions of (22 ± 2) °C and (45 ± 8) per cent RH;

(f)

After the end of the brake emissions test, ensure the brake parts are cool down to a temperature of 30 °C or below by storing them for a maximum of 24h in a room with controlled air and humidity conditions;

(g)

After the brake parts cool down, clean the parts to remove any grease or contamination before performing the final mass measurements;

(h)

Weigh the brake disc or drum and the brake pads or shoes separately. Report the final masses in the Mass Measurement File;

(i)

Calculate the mass loss of the disc or drum and the brake pads or shoes by subtracting the final from the initial total mass, respectively. Report the mass loss of each part in the Mass Measurement File following the instructions defined in Table A4/13;

(j)

Calculate the overall mass loss of the brake under testing by summing the values for the individual parts calculated in (i) of this paragraph. Report the overall mass loss following the instructions defined in Table A4/13;

(k)

Calculate the averaged weight loss emission factor by dividing the total mass loss calculated in (j) of this paragraph by the total distance driven during bedding and emission sections (i.e. 6 WLTP-Brake cycles). Report the averaged weight loss emission factor following the instructions defined in Table A4/13.

13.   

Test Output

This section describes the four main outputs of a brake emissions test. These include the Test Report file – which is the core report of the emissions test – and its supporting files (i.e. Event-Based, Time-Based, and Mass Measurement files). The outputs are summarised below:

(a)

Event-Based file. A detailed description of the file and the required parameters is provided in paragraph 13.1.;

(b)

Time-Based file. A detailed description of the file and the required parameters is provided in paragraph 13.2.;

(c)

Mass-Measurement file. A detailed description of the file and the required parameters is provided in paragraph 13.3.;

(d)

Test Report file. A detailed description of the file and the required parameters is provided in paragraph 13.4.

The labs shall keep records of the original measurements, including the relevant information from the soaking between the test events, in order to prove consistency and to be able to recalculate the test results upon request of the responsible authority.

13.1.   

Event-Based File

The testing facility shall generate an ODS Event-Based file for the brake emissions test. The file shall be named “Test ID_EBF” and shall include the necessary data for each brake deceleration event throughout the entire brake emissions test. This file format is agnostic to the control technology and software. Each section of the brake emissions test shall be reported in a separate tab as follows:

(a)

Tab 1 titled “Cooling” shall include the data for the parameters specified in this paragraph over the cooling adjustment section. Only data from the successful iteration of Trip #10 shall be reported in this tab when there are multiple iterations of Trip #10. Tab 1 shall include 114 rows with data representing the 114 brake events of Trip #10 of the cooling adjustment section. In the case of rear brakes, the data of the corresponding front brake cooling adjustment shall be reported;

(b)

Tabs 2-6 titled “Bedding 1-5” shall include the data for the parameters specified in this paragraph over the bedding section. Each tab shall correspond to one repetition of the WLTP-Brake cycle. Each tab shall include 303 rows with data representing the 303 brake events of the WLTP-Brake cycle for each repetition of the bedding section. Tabs 2-6 shall not include data from the soaking sections applied between the 5 WLTP-Brake cycles;

(c)

Tab 7 titled “Emissions” shall include the data for the parameters specified in this paragraph over the brake emissions measurement section. Tab 7 shall not include data from the soaking sections applied between the individual trips of the WLTP-Brake cycle. Tab 7 shall include 303 rows with data representing the 303 brake events of the WLTP-Brake cycle of the emissions measurement section.

The testing facility shall continuously and automatically sample and/or calculate the parameters listed in Table A4/9 All data in the Event-Based File shall be calculated using the raw sampled data. Details regarding the applied units, the number of decimals, and the sampling rate of each parameter are given in Table A4/9 Sampling rate in the context of this Regulation is the frequency with which the automation system samples and registers the various parameters. Failure to submit the Event-Based file as described above results in an invalid test.

Regardless of the sampling rate, in the Event-Based File the parameters shall be reported for each individual brake deceleration event. All evaluations for use in EBF file - except the calculation of friction work values (see paragraph 9.4.3 (h)) - shall be based on the actual brake deceleration event.

Both the actual start time and the actual end time of the deceleration event are identified based on fast actual brake torque. The actual brake event starts at the first time the actual brake torque exceeds 15 % of the nominal brake torque of the brake event. The actual brake event ends at the first time the actual brake torque value falls below 15 % of the nominal brake torque.

The nominal brake torque can be calculated according to Eq 13.1.

Formula

Eq. 13.1

Where

τ brake,nom,n

is the nominal brake torque of brake event n in Nm

WL t

is the test (or applied) wheel load in kg

r R,b

is the tyre dynamic rolling radius at brake b in mm

Vset,start,n

is the nominal linear speed at the beginning of nth brake event of the WLTP-Brake cycle in km/h

Vset,end,n

is the nominal linear speed at the end of nth brake event of the WLTP-Brake cycle in km/h

t start,nom,n

is the nominal start time of the nth brake event of the analysed cycle in s

t end,nom,n

is the nominal end time of the nth brake event of the analysed cycle in s

The value of τ brake,nom,n shall be reported in the event-based file, as indicated in Table 13.1, on the corresponding line.

Some of the parameters reported in the Event-Based file are defined by the actual brake event start and end time as they represent their instantaneous values at these timestamps (i.e. Time of Stop, Stop Duration, Initial Brake Temperature, Final Brake Temperature). The rest of the parameters shall be averaged (distance- or time-based) over the brake event to report a unique value for each parameter. The averaging of these parameters shall be performed using the 250Hz data sampled between the actual start and end point of the brake event.

Volatile Particle Removal for SPN10 Measurement

The calibration of the VPR’s PCRF across its full range of dilution settings shall be carried out at the instrument’s fixed nominal operating temperatures when the unit is new and following any major maintenance. The periodic validation requirement for the VPR’s PCRF shall be limited to a check at a single setting typical of that used for emissions testing of any typical brake available in the market. The Technical Service shall ensure the existence of a calibration or validation certificate within a 6-month period before the emissions test. A 13-month validation interval shall be permissible when the VPR incorporates temperature monitoring alarms.

The VPR shall be characterised for PCRF with solid particles of 15 nm, 30 nm, 50 nm, and 100 nm electrical mobility diameters. PCRFs for particles of 15 nm, 30 nm, and 50 nm electrical mobility diameters shall be no more than 100 per cent, 30 per cent, and 20 per cent higher respectively, and no more than 5 per cent lower than that for particles of 100 nm electrical mobility diameter (Table A4/21). For validation, the mean PCRF shall be within ±10 per cent of the arithmetic mean particle concentration reduction factor (fr) determined during the last calibration of the VPR.

The test aerosol for these measurements shall be solid particles of 15 nm, 30 nm, 50 nm, and 100 nm electrical mobility diameters. The minimum concentration at the dilution system inlet shall be 3000 #/cm3 for particles of 15 nm electrical mobility diameter and 5000 #/cm3 for particles of 30 nm, 50 nm, and 100 nm electrical mobility diameters. Particle concentrations shall be measured upstream and downstream of the components. The PCRF at each monodisperse particle size (fr (dx)) shall be calculated following Equation 14.1. The arithmetic average particle concentration reduction (fr) at a given dilution setting shall be calculated using Equation 14.2.

It is recommended that the VPR is calibrated and validated as a complete unit. The volatile particle removal efficiency of a VPR needs to be proven only once for the instrument family measuring SPN10. The instrument manufacturer must provide the maintenance or replacement interval that ensures that the removal efficiency of the VPR does not drop below the technical requirements. If such information is not provided, the volatile removal efficiency has to be checked yearly for each instrument.

The VPR used for SPN10 measurements shall demonstrate greater than 99.9 per cent removal efficiency of Tetracontane (CH3(CH2)38CH3) particles with count median electrical mobility diameter > 50 nm and mass > 1 mg/m3 when operated at its minimum dilution setting and the manufacturers recommended operating temperature.

The instrument manufacturer shall prove the particle penetration Pr(dx) by testing one unit for each system model. A system model here covers all systems with the same hardware, i.e. same geometry, conduit materials, flows, and temperature profiles in the aerosol path. The particle penetration Pr(dx) at a particle size, dx, shall be calculated using Equation 14.3.

14.6.   

Particle Number Counter

The type approval authority shall ensure the existence of a calibration certificate for the PNC demonstrating compliance with a traceable standard within a 13-month period before the emissions test. Between calibrations, either the counting efficiency of the PNC shall be monitored for deterioration, or the PNC wick shall be routinely changed every 6 months if recommended by the instrument manufacturer. The PNC shall also be recalibrated and a new calibration certificate issued following any major maintenance.

Calibration shall be traceable to a standard calibration method. The testing facility shall use one of the two following methods for the calibration of the PNC:

(a)

Comparison of the response of the PNC under calibration with that of a calibrated aerosol electrometer when simultaneously sampling electrostatically classified calibration particles;

(b)

Comparison of the response of the PNC under calibration with that of a second PNC that has been directly calibrated by the above method.

The calibration shall be undertaken using at least six standard concentrations across the PNC’s measurement range. Five of these standard concentrations shall be as uniformly spaced as possible between the standard concentration of 3000 #/cm3 or below and the maximum of the PNC’s range in single-particle count mode. The six standard concentration points shall include a nominal zero concentration point produced by attaching HEPA filters of at least Class H13 of EN 1822:2008 (or equivalent performance) to the inlet of each instrument. The gradient from a linear least-squares regression of the two data sets shall be calculated and recorded. A calibration factor equal to the reciprocal of the gradient shall be applied to the PNC under calibration. The linearity of response is calculated as the square of the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient (r) of the two data sets and shall be equal to or greater than 0.97. In calculating both the gradient and R2, the linear regression shall be forced through the origin (zero concentration on both instruments). The calibration factor shall be between 0.9 and 1.1. Each concentration measured with the PNC under calibration shall be within ±5 per cent of the measured reference concentration multiplied by the gradient, with the exception of the zero point.

The calibration shall also include a check against the requirements for the PNC’s detection efficiency with particles of 10 nm electrical mobility diameter. A check of the counting efficiency with 15 nm particles is not required during periodical calibration.

Determination of C p Values

The C p,b value for the pressure-based method for a specific brake system is determined by running the WLTP-Brake cycle on a brake dynamometer fully compliant to this Regulation.

Testing Setup and Specifications

4.1.   

Vehicle Selection

Each vehicle shall be attributed a vehicle-specific friction braking share coefficient. When a vehicle features different driver-selectable modes, it shall be tested over the mode that results in the lowest recuperation as this represents the worst-case version in terms of the specific friction braking share coefficient. The measured specific friction braking share coefficient shall be attributed to all driver-selectable modes of this vehicle. Operating strategies applied for optimization of the brake function (e.g. anti-corrosion measures) shall not be de-activated or omitted during testing, as long as the safe operation of the vehicle on the chassis dynamometer is not affected.

On the basis of technical evidence provided by the manufacturer and with the agreement of the type approval authority, the dedicated driver-selectable modes for very special limited purposes (e.g. Sand, Snow/Alpine, Crawler, discharge modes for safety reasons) may be exempted from fulfilling the declared specific friction braking share coefficient.

For the purposes of this Regulation, upon the request of the manufacturer, only one vehicle of each interpolation family may be tested to determine the vehicle-specific friction braking share coefficient of the entire interpolation family. The vehicle with the lowest recuperation capability (i.e. the vehicle with the highest specific friction braking share coefficient) in the interpolation family shall be selected and tested. In this case, all vehicles within the same interpolation family shall be attributed the same vehicle-specific friction braking share coefficient regardless of the variant, version, and option configuration. The manufacturer shall be able to demonstrate compliance with the approved braking share coefficient for every vehicle in the interpolation family.

For the purposes of this Regulation, upon the request of the manufacturer when a specific vehicle model comes in different configurations that belong in more than one interpolation families, the worst-case vehicle in terms of the specific friction braking share coefficient in each vehicle electrification type according to Table 4 of this Regulation may be tested (i.e. the vehicle with the highest specific friction braking share coefficient). In such a case, the measured vehicle-specific friction braking share coefficient shall be attributed to all vehicles in each vehicle electrification type according to Table 4 of this Regulation. In this case, the manufacturer shall be able to demonstrate compliance with the approved braking share coefficient for every configuration within the vehicle model.

Preparation

4.2.1.   

Brake Torque Sensors

4.2.1.1.   

Piezoelectric sensors

The brake torque sensor is a sensor capable to measure the true amount of brake torque directly at the position where the torque occurs – between the calliper and the knuckle. Brake torque sensors are typically tailored to fit into the individual brake systems. Typically, depending on the mounting bolt diameter, the thickness is between 3.5 mm to 5.0 mm.

For the purposes of the current methodology, external torque sensor(s) shall be mounted to the calliper for each brake corner of the vehicle. Figure A5/1 provides a schematic example of brake torque sensor mounting. Depending on the technical layout of the brake and the sensor, one sensor per mounting hole or the integration in a single tool is required. The calliper or pad may be re-machined to allow the application of the sensor(s). However, great care shall be taken not to damage the brake and ensure that the calliper is still able to fulfil the intended requirements of the WLTP-Brake cycle without any safety risk or negative impact on the braking behaviour (e.g. due to deformation). This applies to the entire operation range of the sensor as specified by the sensor manufacturer.

The measured torque over time shall be converted to friction brake work according to paragraph 3.2. of this annex. Due to the functional principle of the sensor, it is required to check the zero stability before and after the test and take any drift into account.

Figure C1

Schematic example of brake torque sensor mounting

Image 27

An overall resulting range of 0 to 800 N·m is recommended. The maximum range of the measurement chain shall be chosen according to the vehicle mass, geometry of the brakes, and the expected resulting torque conditions during the tests. The testing facility shall refer to the recommendations of the brake-, vehicle-, and sensor system manufacturer to ensure the proper function of the sensor and data collection devices.

Sensor calibrations shall meet the following specifications:

(a)

The accuracy of the sensor system shall be within 2 per cent of full-range or ±5 N·m, whichever is greater;

(b)

The amplifiers for the torque sensors shall be adjusted to zero before the test with no brake torque applied to the system;

(c)

After the test, the torque sensors shall be checked for zero drift. A maximum zero-drift of ±0.5 per cent of full-scale is acceptable.

A reference calibration sensor is required to carry out the calibration procedure. Figure A5/2 provides a schematic representation on how to attach the reference calibration sensor to the wheel hub. After the installation of the brake torque sensor, the reference calibration sensor shall be attached to the wheel and torque shall be applied. Figure A5/3 summarises schematically the calibration procedure.

It shall not show residuals larger than 2 per cent of full-scale or ±5 N·m, whichever is greater at any point of the operational range above zero. The measurement system shall be compensated for temperature influence according to the manufacturer specifications. The reference calibration sensor shall be calibrated according to ISO 17025 within the last 12 month of usage.

4.2.2.   

Pressure Transducers and Sensors

Αn external pressure sensor shall be mounted to the brake fluid path for each brake corner of the vehicle. Preferably, it shall be mounted to the venting screw of the respective brake corner. If this is not possible due to space limitations or other issues, alternative mounting locations are allowed; however, they shall be located as close as possible to the respective brake corner. Figure A5/4 provides a schematic representation on how to mount brake pressure sensors at the brake pipes of the tested vehicle. The measured pressure over time shall be converted to brake torque according to Equation 9 and to a friction braking share coefficient as described in paragraphs 3.1. and 3.2. of this annex.

The use of a pressure sensor capable of measuring in the range of 0 – 6000 kPa is recommended, while the maximum range of the sensor shall be chosen according to the expected maximum pressure conditions during the tests. The combined uncertainty of non-linearity, hysteresis, and repeatability for pressure measurement shall be at 0.5 per cent of reading or 0.3 per cent of full scale, whichever is greater (entire uncertainty budget).

Chassis Dynamometer Data

Dedicated data recording systems shall be used to log the raw data from the chassis dynamometer as well as from the vehicle and its instrumented components during testing. Data recording is recommended to be carried out following the specifications described in the Annex B5 of UN Regulation No. 154 (Paragraph 2 Chassis Dynamometer).

In addition to the data requested in UN Regulation No. 154, the foundation brake related parameters shall be recorded per Table A4/3 of Annex 4. This includes at least the parameters chosen by the main method and the reference method. The measurement shall be carried out with a frequency of not less than 10Hz. The vehicle mass shall be defined according to paragraph 3.1.9. of this Regulation, regardless of the tested cycle. Moreover, the torque to pressure ratio C p values shall be documented (if applicable).

The data recording shall be initiated before or at the same time as the actual chassis dynamometer test. The data recording of the chassis dynamometer and the vehicle shall ensure synchronized data meaning that the signals shall refer to the same time trace. It is recommended to record the signals time-aligned on a single file. Alternatively, the vehicle speed signal shall be recorded together with the brake information and be used for time alignment if the data is recorded on different systems. Recorded data shall be provided in a common and open access data format.

4.4.   

Chassis Dynamometer Settings

The test setup and method shall fulfil the requirements of UN Regulation No. 154 in the currently valid version at the time of testing. No deviations, except the provisions in this document, are allowed.

The tests shall be performed at 23±5 °C with the vehicle, brake systems, and measurement systems soaked for 6-36 h. The road load simulation shall be fully compliant to UN Regulation No. 154 regardless the testing cycle. Soaking, pre-conditioning, and road loads shall be set according to UN Regulation No. 154. This means that the road load coefficients (f0, f1, f2) of the road load equation shall be taken into account for the test execution.

4.5.   

Test Sequence

The test vehicle shall be run-in in accordance with the requirements defined in paragraphs 2. to 2.3. of Annex B8 to UN Regulation No. 154. In addition to that, the brakes of the test vehicle shall be adequately bedded. Upon the request of the type approval authority technical evidence shall be provided by the manufacturer.

Generally, the test is carried out by applying the sequence of preconditioning, soaking, and (for OVC-HEV, OVC-FCHV and PEV) recharging. This shall be followed by the performance test to derive the friction braking share coefficients (see Figure A5/5). These procedures are set out in Annex B8 of UN Regulation No. 154 unless specified otherwise as below.

Notwithstanding the above requirements, the applicable test cycle during the performance test shall be the WLTP-Brake cycle as described in Annex 4, or, in line with the provisions in paragraph 6. of this annex, the Trip #10 of the WLTP-Brake cycle. For all the vehicle electrification types the preconditioning WLTC cycle and the applicable test cycle shall be driven only once.
