5.   SPECIFICATIONS AND TESTS

Small volume manufacturers

As an alternative to the requirements of this paragraph, vehicle manufacturers whose worldwide annual production is less than 10 000 units may obtain approval on the basis of the corresponding technical requirements specified in the table below.

The emissions tests for roadworthiness purposes set out in Annex 5 and the requirements for access to vehicle OBD information set out in paragraph 5 of Annex 11 shall still be required to obtain type approval with regard to emissions under this paragraph.

The Approval Authority shall inform the other approval authorities of Contracting Parties of the circumstances of each type approval granted under this paragraph.

5.1.   General

5.1.1.   The components liable to affect the emission of pollutants shall be so designed, constructed and assembled as to enable the vehicle, in normal use, despite the vibration to which they may be subjected, to comply with the provisions of this Regulation.

5.1.2.   The technical measures taken by the manufacturer shall be such as to ensure that in conformity with the provisions of this Regulation, exhaust gas and evaporative emissions are effectively limited throughout the normal life of the vehicle and under normal conditions of use. This will include the security of those hoses and their joints and connections, used within the emission control systems, which shall be so constructed as to conform with the original design intent. For exhaust emissions, these provisions are deemed to be met if the provisions of paragraphs 5.3.1.4 and 8.2.3.1 respectively are complied with. For evaporative emissions, these conditions are deemed to be met if the provisions of paragraphs 5.3.1.4 and 8.2.3.1 respectively are complied with.

5.1.2.1.

The use of a defeat device is prohibited.

5.1.3.   Inlet orifices of petrol tanks

5.1.3.1.

Subject to paragraph 5.1.3.2, the inlet orifice of the petrol or ethanol tank shall be so designed as to prevent the tank from being filled from a fuel pump delivery nozzle which has an external diameter of 23,6 mm or greater.

5.1.3.2.

Paragraph 5.1.3.1 shall not apply to a vehicle in respect of which both of the following conditions are satisfied, i.e.:

5.1.3.2.1.

the vehicle is so designed and constructed that no device designed to control the emission of gaseous pollutants shall be adversely affected by leaded petrol; and

5.1.3.2.2.

the vehicle is conspicuously, legibly and indelibly marked with the symbol for unleaded petrol, specified in ISO 2575:1982, in a position immediately visible to a person filling the petrol tank. Additional markings are permitted.

5.1.4.   Provision shall be made to prevent excess evaporative emissions and fuel spillage caused by a missing fuel filler cap.

This may be achieved by using one of the following:

5.1.4.1.

An automatically opening and closing, non-removable fuel filler cap;

5.1.4.2.

Design features which avoid excess evaporative emissions in the case of a missing fuel filler cap;

5.1.4.3.

Any other provision which has the same effect. Examples may include, but are not limited to, a tethered filler cap, a chained filler cap or one utilising the same locking key for the filler cap as for the vehicle’s ignition. In this case, the key shall be removable from the filler cap only in the locked condition.

5.1.5.   Provisions for electronic system security

5.1.5.1.

Any vehicle with an emission control computer shall include features to deter modification, except as authorised by the manufacturer. The manufacturer shall authorise modifications if these modifications are necessary for the diagnosis, servicing, inspection, retrofitting or repair of the vehicle. Any reprogrammable computer codes or operating parameters shall be resistant to tampering and afford a level of protection at least as good as the provisions in ISO DIS 15031-7, dated October 1998 (SAE J2186 dated October 1996), provided that the security exchange is conducted using the protocols and diagnostic connector as prescribed in paragraph 6.5 of Annex II, Appendix 1. Any removable calibration memory chips shall be potted, encased in a sealed container or protected by electronic algorithms and shall not be changeable without the use of specialised tools and procedures.

5.1.5.2.

Computer-coded engine operating parameters shall not be changeable without the use of specialised tools and procedures (e.g. soldered or potted computer components or sealed (or soldered) computer enclosures).

5.1.5.3.

In the case of mechanical fuel-injection pumps fitted to compression-ignition engines, manufacturers shall take adequate steps to protect the maximum fuel delivery setting from tampering while a vehicle is in service.

5.1.5.4.

Manufacturers may apply to the Approval Authority for an exemption to one of these requirements for those vehicles which are unlikely to require protection. The criteria that the Approval Authority will evaluate in considering an exemption will include, but are not limited to, the current availability of performance chips, the high-performance capability of the vehicle and the projected sales volume of the vehicle.

5.1.5.5.

Manufacturers using programmable computer code systems (e.g. Electrical Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory, EEPROM) shall deter unauthorised reprogramming. Manufacturers shall include enhanced tamper protection strategies and write protect features requiring electronic access to an off-site computer maintained by the manufacturer. Methods giving an adequate level of tamper protection will be approved by the authority.

5.1.6.   It shall be possible to inspect the vehicle for roadworthiness test in order to determine its performance in relation to the data collected in accordance with paragraph 5.3.7 of this Regulation. If this inspection requires a special procedure, this shall be detailed in the service manual (or equivalent media). This special procedure shall not require the use of special equipment other than that provided with the vehicle.

5.3.1.2.

The vehicle is placed on a chassis dynamometer equipped with a means of load and inertia simulation.

5.3.1.2.1.

A test lasting a total of 19 minutes and 40 seconds, made up of two parts, One and Two, is performed without interruption. An unsampled period of not more than 20 seconds may, with the agreement of the manufacturer, be introduced between the end of Part One and the beginning of Part Two in order to facilitate adjustment of the test equipment.

5.3.1.2.1.1.

Vehicles that are fuelled with LPG or NG/biomethane shall be tested in the Type I test for variation in the composition of LPG or NG/biomethane, as set out in Annex 12. Vehicles that can be fuelled either with petrol or LPG or NG/biomethane shall be tested on both the fuels, tests on LPG or NG/biomethane being performed for variation in the composition of LPG or NG/biomethane, as set out in Annex 12.

5.3.1.2.1.2.

Notwithstanding the requirement of paragraph 5.3.1.2.1.1, vehicles that can be fuelled with either petrol or a gaseous fuel, but where the petrol system is fitted for emergency purposes or starting only and which the petrol tank cannot contain more than 15 litres of petrol will be regarded for the test Type I as vehicles that can only run on a gaseous fuel.

5.3.1.2.2.

Part One of the test is made up of four elementary urban cycles. Each elementary urban cycle comprises fifteen phases (idling, acceleration, steady speed, deceleration, etc.).

5.3.1.2.3.

Part Two of the test is made up of one extra-urban cycle. The extra-urban cycle comprises 13 phases (idling, acceleration, steady speed, deceleration, etc.).

5.3.1.2.4.

During the test, the exhaust gases are diluted and a proportional sample collected in one or more bags. The exhaust gases of the vehicle tested are diluted, sampled and analysed, following the procedure described below, and the total volume of the diluted exhaust is measured. Not only the carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide emissions but also the particulate pollutant emissions from vehicles equipped with compression-ignition engines are recorded.

5.3.1.3.

The test is carried out using the procedure of Type I test as described in Annex 4a. The method used to collect and analyse the gases is prescribed in Appendix 2 and 3 of Annex 4a, and the method to sample and analyse the particulates shall be as prescribed in Appendix 4 and 5 of Annex 4a.

5.3.1.4.

Subject to the requirements of paragraph 5.3.1.5 the test shall be repeated three times. The results are multiplied by the appropriate deterioration factors obtained from paragraph 5.3.6 and, in the case of periodically regenerating systems as defined in paragraph 2.20, also must be multiplied by the factors K

9.3.   Selection of vehicles for in-service conformity

9.3.1.   The information gathered by the manufacturer shall be sufficiently comprehensive to ensure that in-service performance can be assessed for normal conditions of use as defined in paragraph 9.2. The manufacturer’s sampling shall be drawn from at least two Contracting Parties with substantially different vehicle operating conditions. Factors such as differences in fuels, ambient conditions, average road speeds, and urban/highway driving split shall be taken into consideration in the selection of the Contracting Parties.

9.3.2.   In selecting the Contracting Parties for sampling vehicles, the manufacturer may select vehicles from a Contracting Party that is considered to be particularly representative. In this case, the manufacturer shall demonstrate to the Approval Authority which granted the type approval that the selection is representative (e.g. by the market having the largest annual sales of a vehicle family within the applicable Contracting Party). When an in-service family requires more than one sample lot to be tested as defined in paragraph 9.3.5, the vehicles in the second and third sample lots shall reflect different vehicle operating conditions from those selected for the first sample.

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

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

9.3.5.   When applying the statistical procedure defined in Appendix 4, the number of sample lots shall depend on the annual sales volume of an in-service family in the territories of a regional organisation (e.g. European Community), as defined in the following table:

9.4.   On the basis of the audit referred to in paragraph 9.2, the Approval Authority shall adopt one of the following decisions and actions:

(a) decide that the in-service conformity of a vehicle type or a vehicle in-service family is satisfactory and not take any further action;

(b) decide that the data provided by the manufacturer is insufficient to reach a decision and request additional information or test data from the manufacturer;

(c) decide that based on data from the Approval Authority or Contracting Party surveillance testing programmes, that information provided by the manufacturer is insufficient to reach a decision and request additional information or test data from the manufacturer;

(d) decide that the in-service conformity of a vehicle type, that is part of an in-service family, is unsatisfactory and proceed to have such vehicle type tested in accordance with Appendix 3.

9.4.1.   Where Type I tests are considered necessary to check the conformity of emission control devices with the requirements for their performance while in service, such tests shall be carried out using a test procedure meeting the statistical criteria defined in Appendix 2.

9.4.2.   The Approval Authority, in cooperation with the manufacturer, shall select a sample of vehicles with sufficient mileage whose use under normal conditions can be reasonably assured. The manufacturer shall be consulted on the choice of the vehicles in the sample and allowed to attend the confirmatory checks of the vehicles.

9.4.3.   The manufacturer shall be authorised, under the supervision of the Approval Authority, to carry out checks, even of a destructive nature, on those vehicles with emission levels in excess of the limit values with a view to establishing possible causes of deterioration which cannot be attributed to the manufacturer (e.g. use of leaded petrol before the test date). Where the results of the checks confirm such causes, those test results shall be excluded from the conformity check.

10.   PENALTIES FOR NON-CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION

10.1.

The approval granted in respect of a vehicle type pursuant to this amendment, may be withdrawn if the requirements laid down in paragraph 8.1 above are not complied with or if the vehicle or vehicles taken fail to pass the tests prescribed in paragraph 8.1.1 above.

10.2.

If a Contracting Party which applies this Regulation withdraws an approval it has previously granted, it shall forthwith so notify the other Contracting Parties applying this Regulation, by means of a communication form conforming to the model in Annex 2 to this Regulation.

11.   PRODUCTION DEFINITELY DISCONTINUED

If the holder of the approval completely ceases to manufacture a type of vehicle approved in accordance with this Regulation, he shall so inform the type Approval Authority which granted the approval. Upon receiving the relevant communication, that authority shall inform thereof the other Contracting Parties to the 1958 Agreement applying this Regulation by means of copies of the communication form conforming to the model in Annex 2 to this Regulation.

12.   TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS

12.1.   General provisions

12.1.1.

Appendix 1

Procedure for verifying the conformity of production requirements if the production standard deviation given by the manufacturer is satisfactory

1.

This Appendix describes the procedure to be used to verify the production conformity for the Type I Test when the manufacturer’s production standard deviation is satisfactory.

2.

With a minimum sample size of 3, the sampling procedure is set so that the probability of a lot passing a test with 40 per cent of the production defective is 0,95 (producer’s risk = 5 per cent) while the probability of a lot being accepted with 65 per cent of the production defective is 0,1 (consumer’s risk = 10 per cent).

3.

For each of the pollutants given in Table 1 of paragraph 5.3.1.4 of this Regulation, the following procedure is used (see Figure 2 of this Regulation).

Taking:

L

=

the natural logarithm of the limit value for the pollutant,

x

Then:

5.1.

If the test statistic is greater than the pass decision number for the sample size given in Table 1/1 below, the pollutant is passed;

5.2.

If the test statistic is less than the fail decision number for the sample size given in Table 1/1 below, the pollutant is failed; otherwise, an additional vehicle is tested and the calculation reapplied to the sample with a sample size one unit greater.

Appendix 2

Procedure for verifying the conformity of production requirements if the production standard deviation given by the manufacturer is either not satisfactory or not available

1.   This Appendix describes the procedure to be used to verify the production conformity requirements for the Type I test when the manufacturer’s evidence of production standard deviation is either not satisfactory or not available.

2.   With a minimum sample size of 3, the sampling procedure is set so that the probability of a lot passing a test with 40 per cent of the production defective is 0,95 (producer’s risk = 5 per cent) while the probability of a lot being accepted with 65 per cent of the production defective is 0,l (consumer’s risk = 10 per cent).

3.   The measurements of the pollutants given in Table 1 of paragraph 5.3.1.4 of this Regulation are considered to be log normally distributed and shall first be transformed by taking their natural logarithms. Let m

Appendix 3

In-service conformity check

1.   INTRODUCTION

This Appendix sets out the criteria referred to in paragraph 8.2.7 of this Regulation regarding the selection of vehicles for testing and the procedures for the in-service conformity control.

2.   SELECTION CRITERIA

The criteria for acceptance of a selected vehicle are defined in paragraphs 2.1 to 2.8 of this Appendix. Information is collected by vehicle examination and an interview with the owner/driver.

2.1.

The vehicle shall belong to a vehicle type that is type approved under this Regulation and covered by a certificate of conformity in accordance with the 1958 Agreement. It shall be registered and used in a country of the Contracting Parties.

2.2.

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

2.3.

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

2.4.

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

2.5.

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

2.6.

The lead content and sulphur content of a fuel sample from the vehicle tank shall meet applicable standards and there shall be no evidence of misfuelling. Checks may be done in the exhaust, etc.

2.7.

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

2.8.

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

3.   DIAGNOSIS AND MAINTENANCE

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

3.1.

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

3.2.

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

3.3.

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

3.4.

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

3.5.

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

3.6.

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

3.7.

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

3.8.

In the case of vehicles equipped with periodically regenerating systems as defined in paragraph 2.20, it shall be established that the vehicle is not approaching a regeneration period (the manufacturer must be given the opportunity to confirm this).

3.8.1.

If this is the case, the vehicle must be driven until the end of the regeneration. If regeneration occurs during emissions measurement, then a further test must be carried out to ensure that regeneration has been completed. A complete new test shall then be performed, and the first and second test results not taken into account.

3.8.2.

As an alternative to paragraph 3.8.1, if the vehicle is approaching a regeneration the manufacturer may request that a specific conditioning cycle is used to ensure that regeneration (e.g. this may involve high speed, high load driving).

The manufacturer may request that testing may be carried out immediately after regeneration or after the conditioning cycle specified by the manufacturer and normal test preconditioning.

4.   IN-SERVICE TESTING

4.1.

When a check on vehicles is deemed necessary, emission tests in accordance with Annex 4a to this Regulation are performed on pre-conditioned vehicles selected in accordance with the requirements of paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Appendix. Pre-conditioning cycles additional to those specified in paragraph 6.3 of Annex 4a to this Regulation will only be allowed if they are representative of normal driving.

4.2.

Vehicles equipped with an OBD system may be checked for proper in-service functionality of the malfunction indication, etc., in relation to levels of emissions (e.g. the malfunction indication limits defined in Annex 11 to this Regulation) for the type approved specifications.

4.3.

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

4.4.

If a component or system operates in a manner not covered by the particulars in the type approval certificate and/or information package for such vehicle types and such deviation has not been authorised under the 1958 Agreement, with no malfunction indication by the OBD, the component or system shall not be replaced prior to emission testing, unless it is determined that the component or system has been tampered with or abused in such a manner that the OBD does not detect the resulting malfunction.

5.   EVALUATION OF RESULTS

5.1.

The test results are submitted to the evaluation procedure in accordance with Appendix 4.

5.2.

Test results shall not be multiplied by deterioration factors.

5.3.

In the case of periodically regenerating systems as defined in paragraph 2.20, the results shall be multiplied by the factors K

i

obtained at the time when type approval was granted.

6.   PLAN OF REMEDIAL MEASURES

6.1.

When more than one vehicle is found to be an outlying emitter that either,

(a) meets the conditions of paragraph 3.2.3 of Appendix 4 and where both the Approval Authority and the manufacturer agree that the excess emission is due to the same cause; or

(b) meets the conditions of paragraph 3.2.4 of Appendix 4 where the Approval Authority has determined that the excess emission is due to the same cause.

6.8.

The repair and/or modification or addition of new equipment shall be recorded in a certificate supplied by the manufacturer to the vehicle owner.

Appendix 4

Statistical procedure for in-service conformity testing

1.   This Appendix describes the procedure to be used to verify the in-service conformity requirements for the Type I test.

2.   Two different procedures are to be followed:

(i) one dealing with vehicles identified in the sample, due to an emission-related defect, causing outliers in the results (paragraph 3 below);

(ii) the other deals with the total sample (paragraph 4 below).

3.   Procedure to be followed with outlying emitters in the sample

3.1.

With a minimum sample size of three and a maximum sample size as determined by the procedure of paragraph 4, a vehicle is taken at random from the sample and the emissions of the regulated pollutants are measured to determine if it is an outlying emitter.

3.2.

A vehicle is said to be an outlying emitter when the conditions given in paragraph 3.2.1 are met.

3.2.1.

In the case of a vehicle that has been type-approved according to the limit values given in Table 1 in paragraph 5.3.1.4, an outlying emitter is a vehicle where the applicable limit value for any regulated pollutant is exceeded by a factor of 1,5.

3.2.2.

In the specific case of a vehicle with a measured emission for any regulated pollutant within the ‘intermediate zone’(1).

3.2.2.1.

If the vehicle meets the conditions of this paragraph, the cause of the excess emission must be determined and another vehicle is then taken at random from the sample.

3.2.2.2.

Where more than one vehicle meets the condition of this paragraph, the administrative department and the manufacturer must determine if the excess emission from both vehicles is due to the same cause or not.

3.2.2.2.1.

If the administrative department and the manufacturer both agree that the excess emission is due to the same cause, the sample is regarded as having failed and the plan of remedial measures outlined in paragraph 6 of Appendix 3 applies.

3.2.2.2.2.

If the administrative department and the manufacturer can not agree on either the cause of the excess emission from an individual vehicle or whether the causes for more than one vehicle are the same, another vehicle is taken at random from the sample, unless the maximum sample size has already been reached.

3.2.2.3.

When only one vehicle meeting the conditions of this paragraph has been found, or when more than one vehicle has been found and the administrative department and the manufacturer agree it is due to different causes, another vehicle is taken at random from the sample, unless the maximum sample size has already been reached.

3.2.2.4.

If the maximum sample size is reached and not more than one vehicle meeting the requirements of this paragraph has been found where the excess emission is due to the same cause, the sample is regarded as having passed with regard to the requirements of paragraph 3 of this Appendix.

3.2.2.5.

If, at any time, the initial sample has been exhausted, another vehicle is added to the initial sample and that vehicle is taken.

3.2.2.6.

Whenever another vehicle is taken from the sample, the statistical procedure of paragraph 4 of this Appendix is applied to the increased sample.

3.2.3.

In the specific case of a vehicle with a measured emission for any regulated pollutant within the ‘failure zone’(2).

3.2.3.1.

If the vehicle meets the conditions of this paragraph, the administrative department shall determine the cause of the excess emission and another vehicle is then taken at random from the sample.

3.2.3.2.

Where more than one vehicle meets the condition of this paragraph, and the administrative department determines that the excess emission is due to the same cause, the manufacturer shall be informed that the sample is regarded as having failed, together with the reasons for that decision, and the plan of remedial measures outlined in paragraph 6 of Appendix 3 applies.

3.2.3.3.

When only one vehicle meeting the conditions of this paragraph has been found, or when more than one vehicle has been found and the administrative department has determined that it is due to different causes, another vehicle is taken at random from the sample, unless the maximum sample size has already been reached.

3.2.3.4.

If the maximum sample size is reached and not more than one vehicle meeting the requirements of this paragraph has been found where the excess emission is due to the same cause, the sample is regarded as having passed with regard to the requirements of paragraph 3 of this Appendix.

3.2.3.5.

If, at any time, the initial sample has been exhausted, another vehicle is added to the initial sample and that vehicle is taken.

3.2.3.6.

Whenever another vehicle is taken from the sample, the statistical procedure of paragraph 4 of this Appendix is applied to the increased sample.

3.2.4.

Whenever a vehicle is not found to be an outlying emitter, another vehicle is taken at random from the sample.

3.3.

When an outlying emitter is found, the cause of the excess emission shall be determined.

3.4.

When more than one vehicle is found to be an outlying emitter, due to the same cause, the sample is regarded as having failed.

3.5.

When only one outlying emitter has been found, or when more than one outlying emitter is found, but due to different causes, the sample is increased by one vehicle, unless the maximum sample size has already been reached.

3.5.1.

When in the increased sample more than one vehicle is found to be an outlying emitter, due to the same cause, the sample is regarded as having failed.

3.5.2.

When in the maximum sample size not more than one outlying emitter is found, where the excess emission is due to the same cause, the sample is regarded as having passed with regard to the requirements of paragraph 3 of this Appendix.

3.6.

Whenever a sample is increased due to the requirements of paragraph 3.5, the statistical procedure of paragraph 4 below is applied to the increased sample.

4.   Procedure to be followed without separate evaluation of outlying emitters in the sample

4.1.

With a minimum sample size of three the sampling procedure is set so that the probability of a batch passing a test with 40 per cent of the production defective is 0,95 (producer’s risk = 5 per cent) while the probability of a batch being accepted with 75 per cent of the production defective is 0,15 (consumer’s risk = 15 per cent).

4.2.

For each of the pollutants given in the Table 1 of paragraph 5.3.1.4 of this Regulation, the following procedure is used (see Figure 4/2 below).

Where:

L

=

the limit value for the pollutant,

x

i

=

the value of the measurement for the i-th vehicle of the sample,

n

=

the current sample number.

4.3.

The test statistic quantifying the number of non-conforming vehicles, i.e. x

i

> L, is computed for the sample.

4.4.

Then:

(i) if the test statistic does not exceed the pass decision number for the sample size given in the following table, a pass decision is reached for the pollutant;

(ii) if the test statistic equals or exceeds the fail decision number for the sample size given in the following table, a fail decision is reached for the pollutant;

(iii) otherwise, an additional vehicle is tested and the procedure is applied to the sample with one extra unit.

In the following table the pass and fail decision numbers are computed in accordance with the International Standard ISO 8422:1991.

5.   A sample is regarded as having passed the test when it has passed both the requirements of paragraphs 3 and 4 of this Appendix.

(1)  For any vehicle, the ‘intermediate zone’ is determined as follows: the vehicle shall meet the conditions given in paragraph 3.2.1 and, in addition, the measured value for the same regulated pollutant shall be below a level that is determined from the product of the limit value for the same regulated pollutant given in Table 1 in paragraph 5.3.1.4 multiplied by a factor of 2,5.

(2)  For any vehicle, the ‘failure zone’ is determined as follows: the measured value for any regulated pollutant exceeds a level that is determined from the product of the limit value for the same regulated pollutant given in Table 1 in paragraph 5.3.1.4 multiplied by a factor of 2,5.

Appendix 6

Requirements for vehicles that use a reagent for the exhaust after-treatment system

1.   INTRODUCTION

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

2.   REAGENT INDICATION

2.1.

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

3.   DRIVER WARNING SYSTEM

3.1.

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

3.2.

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

3.3.

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

3.4.

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

3.5.

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

4.   IDENTIFICATION OF INCORRECT REAGENT

4.1.

The vehicle shall include a means of determining that a reagent corresponding to the characteristics declared by the manufacturer and recorded in Annex 1 to this Regulation is present on the vehicle.

4.2.

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

5.   REAGENT CONSUMPTION MONITORING

5.1.

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

5.2.

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

5.3.

In order to monitor reagent consumption, at least the following parameters within the vehicle shall be monitored:

(a) the level of reagent in the on-vehicle storage tank;

(b) the flow of reagent or injection of reagent as close as technically possible to the point of injection into an exhaust after-treatment system.

5.4.

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

5.5.

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

6.   MONITORING NO

X

EMISSIONS

6.1.

As an alternative to the monitoring requirements in paragraphs 4 and 5, manufacturers may use exhaust gas sensors directly to sense excess NO

x

levels in the exhaust.

6.2.

The manufacturer shall demonstrate that use of these sensors, and any other sensors on the vehicle, results in the activation of the driver warning system as referred to in paragraph 3, the display of a message indicating an appropriate warning (e.g. ‘emissions too high — check urea’, ‘emissions too high — check AdBlue’, ‘emissions too high — check reagent’), and the driver inducement system as referred to in paragraph 8.3, when the situations referred to in paragraph 4.2, 5.4 or 5.5 occur.

7.   STORAGE OF FAILURE INFORMATION

7.1.

Where reference is made to this paragraph, a non-erasable Parameter Identifier (PID) shall be stored identifying the reason for the inducement system activation. The vehicle shall retain a record of the PID and the distance travelled by the vehicle during the inducement system activation for at least 800 days or 30 000 km of vehicle operation. The PID shall be made available via the serial port of a standard diagnostic connector upon request of a generic scan tool.

7.2.

Malfunctions in the reagent dosing system attributed to technical failures (e.g. mechanical or electrical faults) shall also be subject to the OBD requirements in Annex 11.

8.   DRIVER INDUCEMENT SYSTEM

8.1.

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

8.2.

The inducement system shall activate at the latest when the level of reagent in the tank reaches a level equivalent to the average driving range of the vehicle with a complete tank of fuel. The system shall also activate when the failures in paragraphs 4, 5 or 6 have occurred, depending on the NO

x

monitoring approach. The detection of an empty reagent tank and the failures mentioned in paragraphs 4, 5 or 6 shall result in the failure information storage requirements of paragraph 7 coming into effect.

8.3.

The manufacturer shall select which type of inducement system to install. The options for a system are described in paragraphs 8.3.1, 8.3.2, 8.3.3 and 8.3.4.

8.3.1.

A ‘no engine restart after countdown’ approach allows a countdown of restarts or distance remaining once the inducement system activates. Engine starts initiated by the vehicle control system, such as start-stop systems, are not included in this countdown. Engine restarts shall be prevented immediately after the reagent tank becomes empty or a distance equivalent to a complete tank of fuel has been exceeded since the activation of the inducement system, whichever occurs earlier.

8.3.2.

A ‘no start after refuelling’ system results in a vehicle being unable to start after re-fuelling if the inducement system has activated.

8.3.3.

A ‘fuel-lockout’ approach prevents the vehicle from being refuelled by locking the fuel filler system after the inducement system activates. The lockout system shall be robust to prevent it being tampered with.

8.3.4.

A ‘performance restriction’ approach restricts the speed of the vehicle after the inducement system activates. The level of speed limitation shall be noticeable to the driver and significantly reduce the maximum speed of the vehicle. Such limitation shall enter into operation gradually or after an engine start. Shortly before engine restarts are prevented, the speed of the vehicle shall not exceed 50 km/h. Engine restarts shall be prevented immediately after the reagent tank becomes empty or a distance equivalent to a complete tank of fuel has been exceeded since the activation of inducement system, whichever occurs earlier.

8.4.

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

8.5.

The driver warning system referred to in paragraph 3 shall display a message indicating clearly:

(a) the number of remaining restarts and/or the remaining distance; and

(b) the conditions under which the vehicle can be restarted.

8.6.

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

8.7.

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

8.8.

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

9.   INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS

9.1.

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

9.2.

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

9.3.

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

9.4.

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

9.5.

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

9.6.

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

10.   OPERATING CONDITIONS OF THE AFTER-TREATMENT SYSTEM

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