TEST REPORT
A.1.1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
One test report shall be completed for each tests required for the type-approval. Each additional (e.g. a second
speed on a constant speed engine) or supplementary test (e.g. another fuel is tested) will require an additional
or supplementary test report.
A.1.2. EXPLANATORY NOTES ON CREATION OF A TEST REPORT
A.1.2.1. A test report shall contain at least the information set out in paragraph A.1.3.
A.1.2.2. Notwithstanding paragraph A.1.2.1, only those sections or sub-sections relevant for the particular test and for
the particular engine family, engine types within the engine family or engine type tested need to be stated in
the test report;
A.1.2.3. The test report may contain more information than that requested in paragraph A.1.2.1 but in any case, shall
adhere to the proposed numbering system;
A.1.2.4. Where several options separated by forward slash are given for an entry, the unused options shall be struck
out, or only the used option(s) shall be shown;
A.1.2.5. Where a ‘type’ of a component is requested, the information supplied shall uniquely identify the component;
this may be a list of characteristic, a manufacturers' name and part or drawing number, a drawing, or
a combination of the aforementioned or other methods that achieves the same result.
A.1.2.6. The test report may be delivered on paper or in an electronic format agreed between the manufacturer,
technical service and Type Approval Authority.

the non-road mobile machinery and which may be mounted on
the engine shall be removed for the test.

(ii) power steering compressor
(iii) suspension compressor
(iv) air-conditioning system.
(a) The complete inlet system shall be fitted as provided for the intended application:
(a) where there is a risk of an appreciable effect on the engine power;
(b) in the case of naturally aspirated spark ignition engines.
In other cases, an equivalent system may be used and a check should be made to ascertain that the intake pressure does
not differ by more than 100 Pa from the upper limit specified by the manufacturer for a clean air filter.
(b) The compete exhaust system shall be fitted as provided for the intended application:

(c) If an exhaust brake is incorporated in the engine, the throttle valve shall be fixed in the fully open position.
(d) The fuel feed pressure may be adjusted, if necessary, to reproduce the pressure existing in the particular engine applica

prefers, a test bench system may replace the air cooler. In either case, the measurement of power at each speed shall be
made with the maximum pressure drop and the minimum temperature drop of the engine air across the charge air
cooler on the test bench system as those specified by the manufacturer.

in fixing a minimum value, a minimum difference of 2R above zero has been taken into account; in fixing a maximum

Notwithstanding this measure, which is necessary for technical reasons, the manufacturer of fuels should nevertheless aim
at a zero value where the stipulated maximum value is 2R and at the mean value in the case of quotations of maximum

(2) The range for the cetane number is not in accordance with the requirements of a minimum range of 4R. However, in the
case of a dispute between fuel supplier and fuel user, the terms of ISO 4259 may be used to resolve such disputes pro
vided replicate measurements, of sufficient number to achieve the necessary precision, are made in preference to single de

As an alternative to the above equation, S may be calculated from the ratio of the stoichiometric air demand of
λ
pure methane to the stoichiometric air demand of the fuel blend supplied to the engine, as specified below.
Lambda-shift factor (S) expresses the oxygen demand of any fuel blend in relation to oxygen demand of pure
λ
methane. Oxygen demand means the amount of oxygen to oxidise methane in a stoichiometric composition of
reaction partners to products of complete combustion (i.e. carbon-dioxide and water).
For the combustion of pure methane the reaction is as set out in equation (A.7-4):
1 × CH + 2 × O → 1 × CO + 2 × H O (A.7-4)
4 2 2 2
In this case the ratio of molecules in stoichiometric composition of reaction partners is exactly 2:
n
O2 ¼2
n
CH4
Where:
n = number of molecules of oxygen
O2
n = number of molecules of methane
CH4
The oxygen demand for pure methane is therefore:
n = 2 · n with a reference value of [n ] = 1kmol

The value of S may be determined from the ratio of the stoichiometric composition of oxygen and methane to
λ
the ratio of the stoichiometric composition of oxygen and the fuel blend supplied to the engine, as set out in

Because air contains 21per cent oxygen the stoichiometric air demand L of any fuel shall be calculated by means
st
of equation (A.7-6):
n
L ¼ O2, fuel (A.7-6)

Where:
L = the stoichiometric air demand for the fuel

n = the stoichiometric oxygen demand for the fuel

Consequently the value of S may also be determined from the ratio of the stoichiometric composition of air and
λ
methane to the ratio of the stoichiometric composition of air and the fuel blend supplied to the engine, i.e. the
ratio of the stoichiometric air demand of methane to that of the fuel blend supplied to the engine, as set out in

Therefore, any calculation that specifies the stoichiometric air demand may be used to express the Lambda-shift
factor.
