Appendix 3
Data pre-processing for gaseous pollutant emissions calculations
1. Definitions
1.2. |
For the purposes of this Appendix the following definitions shall apply: 1.2.1. ‘zero response’ means the mean response, including noise, to a zero gas during a time interval of at least 30 seconds; 1.2.2. ‘span response’ means the mean response, including noise, to a span gas during a time interval of at least 30 seconds. |
2. Drift correction
2.1. Maximum drift allowed
Drifts of the zero response and the span response shall be less than two per cent of full scale on the lowest range used:
(a) if the difference between the pre-test and post-test results is less than two per cent, the measured concentrations may be used uncorrected or may be corrected for drift according to point 2.2;
(b) if the difference between the pre-test and post-test results is equal to or greater than two per cent, the measured concentrations shall be drift corrected according to point 2.2. If no correction is made, the test shall be considered void.
2.2. Drift correction
The drift corrected concentration value shall be calculated in accordance with the requirements set out in Section 2.1 or Section 3.5 of Annex VII to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/654.
The difference between the uncorrected and the corrected brake-specific gaseous pollutant emission values shall be within ± six per cent of the uncorrected brake-specific gaseous pollutant emission values. If the drift is greater than six per cent, the test shall be considered void.
If drift correction is applied, only the drift-corrected gaseous pollutant emission results shall be used when reporting gaseous pollutant emissions.
3. Time alignment
To minimise the biasing effect of the time lag between the different signals on the calculations of the mass of the gaseous pollutant emissions, the data relevant for gaseous pollutant emissions calculations shall be time aligned, in accordance with the requirements set out in points 3.1 to 3.4.
3.1. Gas analysers data
The data from the gas analysers shall be properly aligned in accordance with the requirements set out in Section 8.1.5.3 of Annex VII to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/654.
3.2. Gas analysers and EFM data
The data from the gas analysers shall be properly aligned with the data of the EFM using the procedure set out in point 3.4.
3.3. PEMS and engine data
The data from the PEMS (gas analysers and EFM) shall be properly aligned with the data from the engine ECU using the procedure in point 3.4.
3.4. Procedure for improved time alignment of the PEMS data
The test parameters listed in the Table of Appendix 2 are split into three different categories:
Category 1: Gas analysers (HC, CO, CO2, NOx concentrations);
Category 2: EFM (Exhaust mass flow and exhaust temperature);
Category 3: Engine (Torque, speed, temperatures, fuel rate from ECU).
The time alignment of each category with the other two categories shall be verified by finding the highest correlation coefficient between two series of test parameters. All the test parameters in a category shall be shifted to maximise the correlation factor. The following test parameters shall be used to calculate the correlation coefficients:
(a) Categories 1 and 2 (Gas analysers and EFM data) with Category 3 (Engine data): from the ECU;
(b) Category 1 with Category 2: the CO2 concentration and the exhaust mass flow;
(c) Category 2 with Category 3: the CO2 concentration and the engine fuel flow.
4. Data consistency check
4.1. Gas analysers and EFM data
The consistency of the data (exhaust mass flow measured by the EFM and gas concentrations) shall be verified using a correlation between the measured engine fuel flow from the ECU and the engine fuel flow calculated in accordance with the procedure set out in Section 2.1.6.4 of Annex VII to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/654.
A linear regression shall be performed for the measured and calculated fuel rate values. The method of least squares shall be used, with the best fit equation having the form:
y = mx + b
Where:
— y is the calculated fuel flow [g/s],
— m is the slope of the regression line,
— x is the measured fuel flow [g/s],
— b is the y intercept of the regression line.
The slope (m) and the coefficient of determination (r2) shall be calculated for each regression line. It is recommended to perform this analysis in the range from 15 per cent of the maximum value to the maximum value and at a frequency greater or equal to 1 Hz. For a test to be considered valid, the following two criteria shall be evaluated:
Table
Tolerances
Slope of the regression line, m |
0,9 to 1,1 – Recommended |
Coefficient of determination, r2 |
min. 0,90 – Mandatory |
4.2. ECU torque data
The consistency of the ECU torque data shall be verified by comparing the maximum ECU torque values at different (if appropriate) engine speeds with the corresponding values on the official engine full load torque curve and in accordance with Appendix 6.
4.3. Brake-Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC)
The BSFC shall be checked using:
(a) the fuel consumption calculated from the gaseous pollutant emissions data (gas analysers concentrations and exhaust mass flow data), in accordance with the procedure set out in Section 2.1.6.4 of Annex VII to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/654;
(b) the work calculated using the data from the ECU (Engine torque and engine speed).
4.4. Ambient pressure
The ambient pressure value shall be checked against the altitude indicated by the GPS data, if available.
4.5. |
The approval authority may consider the test void if it is not satisfied with the results of the data consistency check. |
5. Dry-wet correction
If the concentration is measured on a dry basis, it shall be converted to a wet basis in accordance with the procedure set out in Section 2 or Section 3 of Annex VII to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/654.
6. NOx correction for humidity and temperature
The NOx concentrations measured by the gas analysers shall not be corrected for ambient air temperature and humidity.

1. General provisions
1.1. |
For the purposes of this Appendix ‘event’ means the data measured in an in-service monitoring test for the gaseous pollutant emissions calculations obtained in a time increment Δt equal to the data sampling period, |
1.2. |
The methodology set out in this Appendix is based on the concept of working and non-working events. |
1.3. |
Any event considered as a non-working event in accordance with this Appendix shall not be considered as valid for the calculations of the work or CO2 mass and the gaseous pollutant emissions and conformity factors of the averaging windows set out in Section 2 of Appendix 5. Only working events shall be used for the purpose of calculations. |
1.4. |
Non-working events shall be categorised as short non-working events (≤ D2) and long non-working events (> D2) (see the Table for the value of D2). |
2. Procedure to determine non-working events
2.1. |
The following events shall be considered as non-working events: 2.1.1. Events where the engine power is below 10 % of the engine maximum net power. 2.1.2. Events corresponding to engine system cold conditions (cold start) set out in point 6.4.2 of Appendix 2. 2.1.3.

2.2. |
The following additional steps shall be conducted: 2.2.1. Non-working events shorter than D0 shall be considered as working events and merged with the surrounding working events (see the Table for the values of D0). 2.2.2. The take-off phase following long non-working events (> D2) shall also be considered as a non-working event until the exhaust gas temperature reaches 523 K. If the exhaust gas temperature does not reach 523 K within D3 minutes, all events after D3 shall be considered as working events (see the Table for the values of D3). 2.2.3. For all non-working events, the first D1 minutes of the event shall be considered as working event (see the Table for the values of D1). |

Conformity of the ECU torque signal
1. Maximum torque method
1.1. |
The maximum torque method consists on confirming that a point on the reference maximum torque curve as a function of the engine speed has been reached during the in-service monitoring test. |
1.2. |
If a point on the reference maximum torque curve as a function of the engine speed has not been reached during the in-service monitoring test, the manufacturer is entitled to modify the load activity of the non-road mobile machinery and/or the minimum test duration set out in point 2 of Appendix 2 as necessary in order to perform that demonstration after the in-service monitoring test. |
1.3. |
The requirements set out in point 1.2 shall not be applied in the case that, in the opinion of the manufacturer and prior agreement of the type approval authority, it is not possible to reach a point on the maximum torque curve under normal operation without overloading the engine installed in the non-road mobile machinery, or to do so would not be safe. |
1.4. |
In this case, the manufacturer shall propose to the approval authority an alternative method for checking the signal. The alternative method shall be employed only if the approval authority considers it feasible and applicable without overloading the engine or any safety risk. |
1.5. |
The manufacturer may propose to the approval authority, a more accurate and complete method for checking the conformity of the ECU torque signal during the in-service monitoring test than the method set out in points 1.1 to 1.4. In that case, the method proposed by the manufacturer shall be used instead of the method set out in those points. |
2. Impossibility to check the conformity of the ECU torque signal
When the manufacturer demonstrates to the approval authority that it is not possible to check the ECU torque signal during the in-service monitoring test, the verification performed during the tests required for EU type-approval and stated in the EU type-approval certificate shall be accepted by the approval authority.
