COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2019/1939

of 7 November 2019

amending Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 as regards Auxiliary Emission Strategies (AES), access to vehicle OBD information and vehicle repair and maintenance information, measurement of emissions during cold engine start periods and use of portable emissions measurement systems (PEMS) to measure particle numbers, with respect to heavy duty vehicles

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2009 on type-approval of motor vehicles and engines with respect to emissions from heavy duty vehicles (Euro VI) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information and amending Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and Directive 2007/46/EC and repealing Directives 80/1269/EEC, 2005/55/EC and 2005/78/EC (1), and in particular Articles 4(3), 5(4), 6(2) and 12 thereof.

Whereas:

(1)

The rules for declaring and assessing Auxiliary Emission Strategies (AES) were recently changed for light passenger and commercial vehicles by Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 (2). The provisions already established in Commission Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 (3) for heavy duty vehicles should be aligned for the sake of consistency.

(2)

In-service conformity testing represents one of the building blocks of the vehicle type-approval procedure and allows the performance of emission control systems to be verified throughout a vehicle’s useful life. Commission Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 requires the tests to be performed by means of a portable emissions measurement system (PEMS), which assesses emissions under normal conditions of use. The PEMS approach is equally used to check off-cycle emissions during type-approval.

(3)

The emissions performance of heavy duty vehicles in the period following a cold engine start is currently not assessed as part of the type-approval demonstration test or the in-service conformity test. Following a monitoring exercise when data from type-approval and in-service conformity tests were collected and analysed, it was found that significant amounts of the total NOx emitted were excluded from the analysis as a result of not assessing the cold engine start period. In order to represent real world emissions better, the measurement procedure should therefore be revised to include measurement of pollutant emissions during the cold engine start period.

(4)

Particle number measurements using PEMS have been successfully implemented under the emissions type-approval rules for light passenger and commercial vehicles (4). Following a pilot study by the Commission’s Joint Research Centre in which an analysis was performed on the portable particle number equipment for heavy duty vehicles, it is considered appropriate to introduce a similar requirement in the emissions type-approval rules for heavy duty vehicles. The Commission will be obliged under Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 to keep the level of the final conformity factor for particle number emissions under review, taking into account technical progress.

(5)

The Commission recognises that vehicles equipped with a spark-ignition engine or a dual-fuel engine fuelled with gas from Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) or Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) may require technical adaptations to comply with the particle number conformity factor. In order to ensure a sufficient lead time to allow manufacturers of gas engines to modify their products in accordance with the requirements laid down by this Regulation, a transitional period should be permitted for compliance with the maximum allowed conformity factor for vehicles equipped with such engines.

(6)

The requirements introduced by this Regulation for in-service conformity testing should not apply retroactively to engines and vehicles which were type-approved before introduction of those requirements. Therefore, the amendments set out in Annexes I, II and III to this Regulation should only apply to the in-service conformity testing of new types of engine or vehicle, in other words to engines or vehicles which are type-approved in accordance with the amendments introduced by this Regulation.

(7)

The rules on access to vehicle OBD information and vehicle repair and maintenance information have been incorporated into Regulation (EU) 2018/858 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5), which applies from 1 September 2020. Therefore, the provisions in Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 relating to access to such information should be omitted with effect from that date.

(8)

Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(9)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Technical Committee — Motor Vehicles,

General

2.5.1.1.

The PM number analyser shall consist of a pre-conditioning unit and a particle detector (see Figure 1). The particle detector may also pre-condition the aerosol. The analyser’s sensitivity to shocks, vibrations, aging, variations in temperature and air pressure, electromagnetic interferences and other things that could affect the operation of the vehicle or the analyser shall be kept to a minimum as far as possible and shall be clearly stated in the supporting documentation produced by the instrument manufacturer. The PM number analyser shall fulfil the requirements of this Regulation and the specifications of the instrument manufacturer.

Image 7

2.5.1.2.

The PM number analyser shall be connected to the sampling point via a sampling probe which extracts a sample from the centreline of the tailpipe tube. If particles are not diluted at the tailpipe, the sampling line shall be heated to a minimum temperature of 373 K (100 °C) until the point of first dilution of the PM number analyser or the particle detector of the analyser. The residence time of the sample in the particle sampling line shall be less than 3 seconds to the point of first dilution or to the particle detector.

2.5.1.3.

All parts in contact with the sampled exhaust gas shall be always kept at a temperature that avoids condensation of any compound in the device. That may be achieved e.g. by heating to a higher temperature and diluting the sample or oxidising the (semi)volatile species.

2.5.1.4.

The PM number analyser shall include a heated section at wall temperature ≥ 573K (300 °C). The pre-conditioning unit shall control the heated stages to constant nominal operating temperatures, within a tolerance of ± 10 K and provide an indication of whether or not heated parts are at their correct operating temperatures. Lower temperatures are acceptable as long as the volatile particle removal efficiency meets the specifications set out in point 2.5.4.

2.5.1.5.

Pressure, temperature and other sensors shall monitor the operation of the instrument during its operation and shall trigger a warning or message in case of malfunction.

2.5.1.6.

The delay time inside the PM number analyser shall be < 5 s. Delay time means the time difference between a change of concentration at the reference point and a system response of 10 % of the final reading.

2.5.1.7.

The PM number analyser (and/or particle detector) shall have a rise time of < 3,5 s.

2.5.1.8.

Particle concentration measurements shall be reported normalised to 273 K (0 °C) and 101,3 kPa. If considered necessary using best engineering judgement, the pressure and/or temperature at the inlet of the detector shall be measured and reported for the purposes of normalising the particle concentration.

2.5.1.9.

PM number analysers that comply with the calibration requirements of UNECE Regulation No 83 or 49 or GTR 15 shall be deemed to comply with the calibration requirements of this Annex.

2.5.2.

Efficiency requirements

2.5.2.1.

2.5.2.2.

Efficiency E(dp) is the ratio in the readings of the PM number analyser system to a reference Condensation Particle Counter (CPC)’s (d50 = 10 nm or lower, checked for linearity and calibrated with an electrometer) or an Electrometer’s number concentration measuring in parallel monodisperse aerosol of mobility diameter dp and normalised at the same temperature and pressure conditions. The material shall be thermally stable and soot-like (e.g. spark discharged graphite or diffusion flame soot with thermal pre-treatment). If the efficiency curve is measured with a different aerosol (e.g. NaCl), the correlation to the soot-like curve shall be provided in the form of a chart which compares the efficiencies obtained using both test aerosols. The differences in the counting efficiencies shall be taken into account by adjusting the measured efficiencies based on that comparison chart to give soot-like aerosol efficiencies. Any correction for multiple charged particles shall be applied and documented, but it shall not exceed 10 %. The final efficiencies (e.g. adjusted for the different material and multiple charged particles) shall cover the PM number analyser and sampling line. The PM number analyser may alternatively be calibrated in parts (i.e. the pre-conditioning unit separately from the particle detector) provided that the PM number analyser and the sampling line together meet the requirements of Table 1. The signal measured from the detector shall be > 2 times the limit of detection (here defined as the zero level plus 3 standard deviations).

2.5.3.

Linearity requirements

2.5.3.1.

The linearity requirements shall be verified whenever damage is observed, as required by internal audit procedures or by the instrument manufacturer, at least once within the 12-month period leading up to a test.

2.5.3.2.

The PM number analyser system and the sampling line, shall meet the linearity requirements of Table 2 using monodisperse or polydisperse soot-like particles. The particle size (mobility diameter or count median diameter) shall be larger than 45 nm. The reference instrument shall be an Electrometer or a Condensation Particle Counter (CPC) with d50 = 10 nm or lower, verified for linearity. Alternatively, the reference instrument may be a particle number system that complies with the requirements of UNECE Regulation No 49.

2.5.3.4.

In addition, the differences between the PM number analyser and the reference instrument at each of the points that are checked (except the zero point) shall be within 15 % of their mean value. At least 5 points equally distributed (plus the zero point) shall be checked. The maximum checked concentration shall be the maximum allowed concentration of the PM number analyser.

If the PM number analyser is calibrated in parts, the linearity may be checked only for the detector, but the efficiencies of the other parts and the sampling line shall be taken into account in the slope calculation.

2.5.4.

Volatile removal efficiency

2.5.4.1.

The PM number analyser system shall achieve > 99 % removal of ≥ 30 nm tetracontane (CH3(CH2)38CH3) particles with an inlet concentration of ≥ 10 000 particles per cubic centimetre at the minimum dilution.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2019/1942

of 22 November 2019

not approving carbendazim as an existing active substance for use in biocidal products of product-type 9

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 89(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2014 (2) establishes a list of existing active substances to be evaluated for their possible approval for use in biocidal products. That lists includes carbendazim (EC No: 234-232-0; CAS No 10605-21-7).

(2)

Carbendazim has been evaluated for use in biocidal products of product-type 9, fibre, leather, rubber and polymerised materials preservatives, as described in Annex V to Directive 98/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), which corresponds to product-type 9 as described in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.

(3)

The evaluating competent authority of Germany submitted the assessment report together with its conclusions to the Commission on 2 August 2013.

(4)

(2)

ESMA processes several categories of personal data, including ‘objective’ data (such as identification data, contact data, professional data, administrative details, data received from specific sources, electronic communications and traffic data) and/or ‘subjective’ data (related to the case such as reasoning, behavioural and conduct data and data related to or brought forward in connection with the subject matter of the procedure or activity.

(3)

ESMA, represented by its Executive Director, acts as the data controller irrespective of further delegations of the controller role within ESMA to reflect operational responsibilities for specific personal data processing operations.

(4)

The personal data are stored securely in an electronic environment or on paper preventing unlawful access or transfer of data to persons who do not have a need to know. The personal data processed are retained for no longer than necessary and appropriate for the purposes for which the data are processed for the period specified in the data protection records and privacy statements of ESMA.

(5)

For the exercise of its missions, ESMA is bound to respect to the maximum extent possible, the fundamental rights of the data subjects, in particular those relating to the right of provision of information, access and rectification, right to erasure, restriction of processing, right of communication of a personal data breach to the data subject or confidentiality of communication as enshrined in Regulation (EU) 2018/1725.

(6)

However, ESMA may be obliged to restrict the information to data subjects or other data subject rights to protect, in particular, the confidentiality and effectiveness of its own investigations, the investigations and proceedings of other public authorities, as well as the rights of other persons related to its investigations or other procedures.

(7)

Within the framework of its administrative functioning, ESMA may conduct a number of investigations, such as administrative inquiries, disciplinary proceedings, preliminary activities related to financial fraud, investigations relating to whistleblowing or harassment cases, internal audits, data protection or ethics investigations, ICT investigations, information security investigations and activities performed in the context of security risks and incidents management. In addition, for the exercise of its missions, ESMA conducts investigations relating to its direct supervisory or enforcement functions and may conduct investigations of potential breaches of Union law as well as inquiries into a particular type of financial activity or type of product or conduct in order to assess potential threats to the integrity of financial markets or the stability of the financial system.

(8)

The internal rules should apply to all processing operations carried out by ESMA in the performance of the above investigations. They should also apply to processing operations carried out prior to the opening of the investigations referred to above, during these investigations and during the monitoring of the follow-up to the outcome of these investigations. It should also include assistance, coordination and/or cooperation requested from ESMA by national authorities and international organisations in the context of their own administrative investigations.

(9)

Before making use of the restrictions foreseen in these internal rules, ESMA should consider whether any of the exemptions laid down in Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 applies. In the cases where restrictions under these internal rules apply, ESMA has to explain why these restrictions are strictly necessary and proportionate in a democratic society and respect the essence of the fundamental rights and freedoms.

(10)

ESMA should monitor if the conditions that justify the restriction continue to apply and lift the restriction when they no longer apply.

(11)

The Controller should inform the Data Protection Officer when restricting the application of certain data subjects’ rights under this Decision, when extending such restriction and when the restriction is lifted,
