INTRODUCTION
The intention of this Regulation is to establish uniform provisions concerning the approval of motor vehicles with regard to
the emissions of light-duty vehicles based on the new World harmonized Light vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) included in
UN GTR No 15 and the updated Evaporative Emissions test procedure (Type 4 test) which has been developed in UN GTR
No 19. It will enable Contracting Parties (CPs) to issue and accept approvals based on these new type approval tests.
The WLTP Type 1 test replaces both the current Type 1 test in UN Regulation No 83 and UN Regulation No 101, whilst the
updated Evaporative Emissions test procedure (Type 4 test) replaces that currently in UN Regulation No 83.
In addition, this new Regulation includes an update to the Type 5 test for verifying the durability of pollution control
devices and updated On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) requirements. These updates are in order to reflect the changes from the
previous NEDC based Type 1 test to the new WLTP Type 1 test.
The 00 series of this Regulation covers two sets of requirements – termed Level 1A and Level 1B. Level 1A is based on a
four phase test cycle (Low, Medium, High and Extra-High), whilst Level 1B is based on a three phase test cycle (Low,
Medium and High), with different type 1 limits applying to these different levels. The majority of the regulatory text is
applicable to both Level 1A and Level 1B. Where the requirements are specific to either Level 1A or Level 1B the relevant
sections are labelled accordingly. This series of amendments covers regional requirements and does not require mutual
recognition by other Contracting Parties.
The 01 series of this Regulation includes a harmonised procedure which contains the most stringent procedures/limits
which shall be subject to full mutual recognition. A type approval to the 01 series shall therefore be accepted by all CPs
having adopted this Regulation.
1. SCOPE
This Regulation provides requirements for two levels of approval. One level requires testing using a 4-phase
WLTC (low, medium, high and extra-high as defined in Annex B1) – this is called Level 1A. The second level
requires testing using a 3-phase WLTC cycle (low, medium and high as defined in Annex B1) – this is called
Level 1B.
Where the requirements in this Regulation apply to either Level 1A or Level 1B only the Regulatory text uses
"Level 1A only" or "Level 1B only" to denote the start of the level specific requirements.
1.1. Scope for Level 1A
This Regulation applies to the type approval of vehicles of categories M , M , N and N with a reference mass
1 2 1 2
not exceeding 2 610kg with regard to the WLTP Type 1 test for emissions of gaseous compounds, particulate
matter, particle number and to emissions of carbon dioxide and fuel consumption and/or the measurement of
electric energy consumption and electric range and to the Type 4 test on evaporative emissions.
In addition, this Regulation lays down rules for verifying the durability of pollution control devices and
On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) systems.
At the manufacturer's request, type approval granted under this Regulation may be extended from vehicles
mentioned above to M , M , N and N vehicles with a reference mass not exceeding 2 840kg and which meet
1 2 1 2
the conditions laid down in this Regulation.
1.2. Scope for Level 1B
This Regulation applies to the type approval of vehicles of categories M and N with a technical permissible
2 1
maximum laden mass not exceeding 3 500kg and to all vehicles of category M with regard to the WLTP Type
1
1 test for emissions of gaseous compounds, particulate matter and to emissions of carbon dioxide and fuel
efficiency and/or the measurement of electric energy consumption and electric range and to the Type 4 test on
evaporative emissions.
In addition, this Regulation lays down rules for verifying the durability of pollution control devices and
On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) systems.
OVC-FCHVs are out of the scope of Level 1B of this Regulation.26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/5

Unless specified elsewhere in this Regulation, paragraphs 6.1.8.1. and 6.1.8.2. provide rules for rounding to
fulfil the requirements of this Regulation.
6.1.8.1. When the digit immediately to the right of the last place to be retained is less than 5, that last digit retained shall
remain unchanged.
Example:
If a result is 1.234 grams but only two places of decimal are to be retained, the final result shall be 1.23 grams.
6.1.8.2. When the digit immediately to the right of the last place to be retained is greater than or equal to 5, that last
digit retained shall be increased by 1.
Example:
If a result is 1.236 grams but only two places of decimal are to be retained, and because 6 is greater than 5, the
final result shall be 1.24 grams.
6.1.9. The use of defeat devices that reduce the effectiveness of emission control systems shall be prohibited. The
prohibition shall not apply where:
(a) The need for the device is justified in terms of protecting the engine against damage or accident and for safe
operation of the vehicle;
(b) The device does not function beyond the requirements of engine starting;
or
(c) The conditions are substantially included in the test procedures for verifying evaporative emissions and
average tailpipe emissions.

vehicle is operated in a gas fuelled mode.
6.3.6.2. A GFV parent vehicle is a vehicle that is selected to act as the vehicle on which the self-adaptability of a fuelling
system is going to be demonstrated, and to which the members of a GFV family refer. It is possible to have more
than one parent vehicle in a GFV family.

(c) If the gas fuelling system has a central metering for the whole engine, it has a certified power output
between 0,7 and 1,15 times that of the GFV parent vehicle;
(d) If the gas fuelling system has an individual metering per cylinder, it has a certified power output per
cylinder between 0,7 and 1,15 times that of the GFV parent vehicle;
(e) If fitted with a catalyst, it has the same type of catalyst i.e. three-way, oxidation, de-NOx;
(f) It has a gas fuelling system (including the pressure regulator) from the same system manufacturer and of the
same type: induction, vapour injection (single point, multipoint), liquid injection (single point, multipoint);
(g) This gas fuelling system is controlled by an ECU of the same type and technical specification, containing the
same software principles and control strategy. The vehicle may have a second ECU compared to the GFV
parent vehicle, provided that the ECU is only used to control the injectors, additional shut-off valves and
the data acquisition from additional sensors.
6.3.6.3.2. With regard to requirements of paragraph 6.3.6.3.1. (c) and (d):
In the case where a demonstration shows that two gas-fuelled vehicles could be members of the same family
with the exception of their certified power output, respectively P1 and P2 (P1 < P2), and both are tested as if
were parent vehicles the family relation will be considered valid for any vehicle with a certified power output
between 0,7 P1 and 1,15 P2.
6.3.7. Additional requirements for vehicles fuelled by LPG or NG/biomethane
6.3.7.1. The additional requirements for vehicles fuelled by LPG or NG/biomethane are provided in Annex B6.

Notwithstanding the requirement of paragraph 6.3.7.2., mono-fuel gas vehicles will be regarded for the Type 1
test as vehicles that can only run on a gaseous fuel.
6.3.8. Additional requirements for flex fuel vehicles
6.3.8.1. For flex fuel vehicles, the transition from one reference fuel to another between the tests shall take place
without manual adjustment of the engine settings.

It is allowed to merge two or more interpolation families into the same K correction factor family at which
CO2
K shall be determined with vehicle H of one of the included interpolation families. The interpolation family
CO2
that is used for the vehicle H selection shall be agreed by the responsible authority.
At the request of the responsible authority, the manufacturer shall provide evidence on the justification and
technical criteria for merging these interpolation families for example in the following cases:
Two or more interpolation families are merged:
(a) Which were split because the maximum interpolation range of 20 g/km CO is exceeded (in case vehicle M

measured: 30 g/km);
(b) Which were split due to different engine power ratings of the same physical combustion engine
(different power only related to software);
(c) Which were split because the n/v ratios are just outside the tolerance of 8 %;
(d) Which were split, but still fulfil all the family criteria of a single IP family;
(e) Which were split because there is different number of powered axles.
Different electric energy converters between recharge-plug-in and traction REESS shall not be considered as a
criterion in the context of the correction factor family.

(g) Purge control system (for example, type of valve, purge control strategy).
The manufacturer shall demonstrate the technical equivalence of points (b) and (c) to the responsible authority.
6.6.3.2. The vehicle shall be considered to produce worst-case evaporative emissions and shall be used for testing if it
has the largest ratio of fuel tank capacity to BWC300 within the family. The vehicle selection shall be agreed in

family.
8.1.3.1.2. For interpolation families as described in paragraph 6.3.2. with a planned production volume of 1 000vehicles
or less per 12 months, it is allowed to include other interpolation families into the same CoP family, up to a
combined maximum production volume of 5 000 vehicles per 12 months. At the request of the responsible
authority the manufacturer shall provide evidence on the justification and technical criteria for merging these
interpolation families, ensuring that there is a large similarity between those families, for example in the
following cases:
(a) Interpolation families are merged which were split because the maximum interpolation range of 30 g/km
CO is exceeded;
2
(b) Interpolation families that were split because there are different engine power ratings of the same
combustion engine;26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/43

1 test for criteria emissions, CO emissions, fuel efficiency and electric energy consumption, as applicable and in
2
accordance with Table 8/1 of this Regulation, for pure ICE, NOVC-HEV, PEV and OVC-HEV and, where applicable,
to determine the OBFCM device accuracy.
Measurements of the criteria emissions, CO emissions, fuel efficiency and electric energy consumption, as
2
applicable and in accordance with Table 8/1 of this Regulation, shall be carried out on a minimum number of 3
vehicles, and consecutively increase until a pass or fail decision is reached. Where applicable, the OBFCM device

For each number of tests, one of the three following decisions can be reached for criteria emissions, based on the
criteria emission limit value L according to Table 1A in paragraph 6.3.10. of this Regulation:

For the measurement of criteria emissions the factor A is set at 1,05.
For Level 1B
Case A: the manufacturer's production standard deviation is satisfactory.
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).
For each of the criteria emissions given in Table 1B of paragraph 6.3.10. of this Regulation, the following
procedure is used (see Figure 8/1 in paragraph 8.2.3.2. of this Regulation) where:26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/57
L= the natural logarithm of the limit value for the criteria emission,
x = the natural logarithm of the measurement for the i-th vehicle of the sample,
i
s= an estimate of the production standard deviation (after taking the natural logarithm of the measurements),
n= the current sample number.
Compute for the sample the test statistic quantifying the sum of the standard deviations from the limit and defined
as:
If the test statistic is greater than the pass decision number for the sample size given in Table A2/1, the criteria
emission is passed.
If the test statistic is less than the fail decision number for the sample size given in Table A2/1, the pollutant is
failed; otherwise, an additional vehicle is tested and the calculation reapplied to the sample with a sample size one
unit greater.

Case B: the manufacturer's evidence of production standard deviation is either not satisfactory or not available.
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).

Run-in test procedure to determine run-in factors
1. DESCRIPTION OF TEST PROCEDURE FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE RUN-IN FACTORS
1.1. The run-in test procedure shall be conducted by the manufacturer, who shall not make any adjustments to the test
vehicles that have an impact on the criteria emissions, CO emissions, fuel efficiency and electric energy
2
consumption. The hardware and relevant ECU calibration of the test vehicle shall conform to the type approval. All
the relevant hardware that has an impact on the criteria emissions, CO emissions, fuel efficiency and electric energy
2
consumption shall have had no operation prior to the run-in test procedure.
1.2. The test vehicle shall be configured as vehicle H within the CoP family.
If the CoP family has multiple interpolation families, the test vehicle shall be configured as vehicle H of the
interpolation family with the highest expected production volume within the CoP family. At the request of the
manufacturer, and with approval of the responsible authority a different test vehicle may be selected.
1.2.1. For Level 1B only
Extension of run-in factor
At the request of the vehicle manufacturer including technical evidence and with confirmation by the responsible
authority, the derived run-in factor can be extended to other interpolation families.
1.3. The test vehicle shall be a new vehicle, or a used test vehicle for which at least all of the following components are
newly installed simultaneously:
(a) Internal combustion engine;
(b) Driveline components (at least, but not limited to, transmission, tyre, axles, etc.);
(c) Brake components;
(d) For Level 1A only: REESSs for EVs;
(e) For Level 1A only: exhaust system;
and any other component that has a non-negligible influence on criteria emissions, CO emissions, fuel efficiency
2
and electric energy consumption.
For the new vehicle, or the used vehicle for which the above mentioned components have been replaced, the system
odometer of the test vehicle D in km shall be recorded.
s
1.4. At the request of the manufacturer and with approval by the responsible authority, it is allowed to perform the
run-in procedure on multiple test vehicles. In this case, the valid test results of all tested vehicles shall be considered
for the determination of the run-in factors.
1.5. Chassis dynamometer setting
1.5.1. The chassis dynamometer shall be set to the target road load for the test vehicle, according to the procedure
specified in paragraph 7. of Annex B4.
The chassis dynamometer shall be set independently prior to each test before the run-in mileage accumulation and
shall be set once for the post-run-in tests after the run-in mileage accumulation.
1.5.2. For Level 1B only:
It is allowed to apply the same dynamometer setting value which was generated during type approval testing for all
testing.26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/65
1.6. Before the run-in, the test vehicle shall be tested according to the Type 1 test procedure specified in Annex B6 and
Annex B8. The test shall be repeated until three valid test results have been obtained. Drive trace indexes shall be
calculated according to paragraph 7. of Annex B7 and these shall fulfil the criteria specified in
paragraph 2.6.8.3.1.4. of Annex B6. The system odometer setting D shall be recorded prior to each test. The
i

according to Step 4a of Table A7/1 in Annex B7 or Step 4a of Table A8/5 in Annex B8.
For Level 1A only
The signal of the acceleration control position shall be recorded during all tests at a sampling frequency of 10 Hz. It
is allowed to use the OBD acceleration control position signal for this purpose. The responsible authority may
request the manufacturer to evaluate this signal to ensure that the test result is performed correctly.
1.7. After the initial tests, the test vehicle shall be run-in under normal driving conditions. OVC-HEVs shall be driven
predominantly in charge-sustaining operating conditions. The driving pattern, test conditions and fuel during the
run-in shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s engineering judgement. The run-in distance shall be less than
or equivalent to the distance driven during the run-in of the vehicle which was tested for the type approval of the
interpolation family, in accordance with paragraph 2.3.3. of Annex B6 or paragraph 2. of Annex B8.
1.8. After the run-in, the test vehicle shall be tested according to the Type 1 test procedure specified in Annex B6 and
Annex B8. The test shall be repeated until the following number of valid test results have been obtained:
For Level 1A: three tests
For Level 1B: two tests
Drive trace indexes shall be calculated according to paragraph 7. of Annex B7 and these shall fulfil the criteria
specified in paragraph 2.6.8.3.1.4. of Annex B6.
These tests shall be performed in the same test cell as used for the tests prior to the run-in and by applying the same
chassis dynamometer setting method. If this is not possible, the manufacturer shall justify the reason for using a
different test cell. The system odometer setting D in km shall be recorded prior to each test. The measured criteria
i
emissions, CO emissions, fuel efficiency and electric energy consumption, as applicable and in accordance with
2
paragraph 8.2.4.1. of this Regulation, shall be calculated according to Step 4a of Table A7/1 in Annex B7 or

In the case that multiple vehicles have been tested, the C shall be calculated for each vehicle, and the resulting
RI
values shall be averaged. The manufacturer will provide statistical evidence to the responsible authority that the fit
is sufficiently statistically justified.
1.9.1. For Level 1A only
Based on the deviation of the measurements from the fit, the slope C should be corrected downward with the

higher than the charge sustaining target SOC value and, while it may fluctuate, the intent of the vehicle control
system is to deplete the SOC from a higher level down to the charge sustaining target SOC value.
2.10. "Driver-selectable charge increasing operation" means, for OVC-HEVs, the operating condition in which the driver has
selected a mode of operation, with the intention to increase the REESS SOC.
3. INFORMATION TO BE DETERMINED, STORED AND MADE AVAILABLE

4. ACCURACY
4.1. With regard to the information specified in paragraph 3, the manufacturer shall ensure that the OBFCM device
provides the most accurate values that can be achieved by the measurement and calculation system of the engine
control unit.
4.2. Notwithstanding paragraph 4.1, the manufacturer shall ensure that the accuracy is higher than –0,05 and lower
than 0,05 calculated with three decimals using the following formula:
Where:
Fuel_Consumed (litres) is the fuel consumption determined at the first test carried out in accordance
WLTP
with paragraph 1.2. of Annex B6, calculated in accordance with paragraph 6
of Annex B7, using emission results over the total cycle before applying
corrections (output of step 2 in Table A7/1 of Annex B7), multiplied by the
actual distance driven and divided by 100.
Fuel_Consumed (litres) is the fuel consumption determined for the same test using the differentials of
OBFCM
the parameter ‘Total fuel consumed (lifetime)’ as provided by the OBFCM device.
For OVC-HEVs the charge-sustaining Type 1 test shall be used.L 423/72 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
4.2.1. If the accuracy requirements set out in paragraph 4.2. are not met, the accuracy shall be recalculated for subsequent
Type 1 tests performed in accordance with paragraph 1.2. of Annex B6, in accordance with the formulae in
paragraph 4.2., using the fuel consumed determined and accumulated over all performed tests. The accuracy
requirement shall be deemed to be fulfilled once the accuracy is higher than – 0,05 and lower than 0,05.
4.2.2. If the accuracy requirements set out in paragraph 4.2.1. are not met following the subsequent tests pursuant to this
point, additional tests may be performed for the purpose of determining the accuracy, however, the total number of
tests shall not exceed three tests for a vehicle tested without using the interpolation method (vehicle H), and six tests
for a vehicle tested using the interpolation method (three tests for vehicle H and three tests for vehicle L). The
accuracy shall be recalculated for the additional subsequent Type 1 tests in accordance with the formulae in
paragraph 4.2., using the fuel consumed determined and accumulated over all performed tests. The requirement
shall be deemed to be fulfilled once the accuracy is higher than – 0,05 and lower than 0,05. Where the tests have
been performed only for the purpose of determining the accuracy of the OBFCM device, the results of the
additional tests shall not be taken into account for any other purposes.
5. ACCESS TO THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE OBFCM DEVICE
5.1. The OBFCM device shall provide for standardised and unrestricted access of the information specified in
paragraph 3. and shall conform to the standards referred to in paragraphs 6.5.3.1. (a) and 6.5.3.2. (a) of
Appendix 1 to Annex C5.
5.2. By way of exemption from the reset conditions specified in the standards referred to in paragraph 5.1. and
notwithstanding paragraphs 5.3. and 5.4., once the vehicle has entered into service the values of the lifetime
counters shall be preserved.
5.3. The values of the lifetime counters may be reset only for those vehicles for which the memory type of the engine
control unit is unable to preserve data when not powered by electricity. For those vehicles the values may be reset
simultaneously only in the case the battery is disconnected from the vehicle. The obligation to preserve the values
of the lifetime counters shall in this case apply for new type approvals at the latest from 1 January 2022 and for
new vehicles from 1 January 2023.
5.4. In the case of malfunctioning affecting the values of the lifetime counters, or replacement of the engine control unit,
the counters may be reset simultaneously to ensure that the values remain fully synchronised.26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/73
Appendix 6
Requirements for vehicles that use a reagent for the exhaust after-treatment system
1. This appendix sets out the requirements for vehicles that rely on the use of a reagent for the after-treatment system
in order to reduce emissions. Every reference in this appendix to 'reagent tank' shall be understood as also
applying to other containers in which a reagent is stored.
1.1. The capacity of the reagent tank shall be such that a full reagent tank does not need to be replenished over an
average driving range of 5 full fuel tanks providing the reagent tank can be easily replenished (e.g. without the use
of tools and without removing vehicle interior trim. The opening of an interior flap, in order to gain access for the
purpose of reagent replenishment, shall not be understood as the removal of interior trim). If the reagent tank is
not considered to be easy to replenish as described above, the minimum reagent tank capacity shall be at least
equivalent to an average driving distance of 15 full fuel tanks. However, in the case of the option in
paragraph 3.5., where the manufacturer chooses to start the warning system at a distance which may not be less
than 2 400 km before the reagent tank becomes empty, the above restrictions on a minimum reagent tank
capacity shall not apply.
1.2. In the context of this appendix, the term "average driving distance" shall be taken to be derived from the fuel or
reagent consumption during a Type 1 test for the driving distance of a fuel tank and the driving distance of a
reagent tank respectively.
2. REAGENT INDICATION
2.1. The vehicle shall include a specific indicator on the dashboard that informs the driver when reagent levels are
below the threshold values specified in paragraph 3.5.
3. DRIVER WARNING SYSTEM
3.1. The vehicle shall include a warning system consisting of visual alarms that informs the driver when an
abnormality is detected in the reagent dosing, e.g. when emissions are too high, the reagent level is low, reagent
dosing is interrupted, 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 cannot 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 that they are important safety related messages.
3.5. The warning system shall activate at a distance equivalent to a driving range of at least 2 400km in advance of the
reagent tank becoming empty, or at the choice of the manufacturer at the latest when the level of reagent in the
tank reaches one of the following levels:
(a) A level expected to be sufficient for driving 150 per cent of an average driving range with a complete tank of
fuel; or
(b) 10 per cent of the capacity of the reagent tank,
whichever occurs earlier.L 423/74 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
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 A1 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 400km 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; and
(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. Where the reagent dosing
interruption is initiated by the engine system because the vehicle operating conditions are such that the vehicle's
emission performance does not require reagent dosing, the activation of the driver warning system as referred to
in paragraph 3. may be omitted, 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 EMISSIONS
X
6.1. As an alternative to the monitoring requirements referred to in paragraphs 4. and 5., manufacturers may use
exhaust gas sensors directly to sense excess NO levels in the exhaust.
x
6.2. The manufacturer shall demonstrate that use of the sensors referred to in paragraph 6.1. 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 activation of the driver inducement system as referred to
in paragraph 8.3., when the situations referred to in paragraphs 4.2., 5.4., or 5.5. occur.26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/75
For the purposes of this paragraph these situations are presumed to occur if the applicable NOx OBD threshold
set out in Table 4 of paragraph 6.8.2. is exceeded.
NOx emissions during the test to demonstrate compliance with these requirements shall be no more than
20 per cent higher than the OBD thresholds.
7. STORAGE OF FAILURE INFORMATION
7.1. Where reference is made to this paragraph, non-erasable Parameter Identifiers (PID) shall be stored identifying the
reason for and the distance travelled by the vehicle during the inducement system activation. The vehicle shall
retain a record of the PID 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 in accordance
with the provisions of paragraph 6.5.3.1. of Appendix 1 to Annex C5. The information stored in the PID shall be
linked to the period of cumulated vehicle operation, during which it has occurred, with an accuracy of not less
than 300 days or 10 000km.
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 paragraph 6.8. of this Regulation and Annex C5.
8. DRIVER INDUCEMENT SYSTEM
8.1. The vehicle shall include a driver inducement system to ensure that the vehicle operates with a functioning
emission control system at all times. The inducement system shall be designed so as to ensure that the vehicle
cannot operate with an empty reagent tank.
8.1.1. The requirement for a driver inducement system shall not apply to vehicles designed and constructed for use by
the rescue services, armed services, civil defence, fire services and forces responsible for maintaining public order.
Permanent deactivation of the driver inducement system for these vehicles shall only be done by the vehicle
manufacturer.
8.2. The inducement system shall activate at the latest when the level of reagent in the tank reaches:
(a) In the case that the warning system was activated at least 2 400km before the reagent tank was expected to
become empty, a level expected to be sufficient for driving the average driving range of the vehicle with a
complete tank of fuel.
(b) In the case that the warning system was activated at the level described in paragraph 3.5.(a), a level expected to
be sufficient for driving 75 per cent of the average driving range of the vehicle with a complete tank of fuel; or
(c) In the case that the warning system was activated at the level described in paragraph 3.5.(b), 5 per cent of the
capacity of the reagent tank.
(d) In the case that the warning system was activated ahead of the levels described in both paragraph 3.5.(a)
and 3.5.(b) but less than 2 400km in advance of the reagent tank becoming empty, whichever level described
in (b) or (c) of this paragraph occurs earlier.
Where the alternative described in paragraph 6.1. is utilised, the system shall activate when the irregularities
described in paragraphs 4. or 5. or the NOx levels described in paragraph 6.2. have occurred.
The detection of an empty reagent tank and the irregularities mentioned in paragraphs 4., 5., or 6. shall result in
the failure information storage requirements of paragraph 7. taking 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. (as applicable).L 423/76 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
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.
8.3.1.1. In the case that the warning system was activated at least 2 400 km before the reagent tank was expected to
become empty, or the irregularities described in paragraphs 4. or 5. or the NOx levels described in paragraph 6.2.
have occurred, engine restarts shall be prevented immediately after the vehicle has travelled a distance expected to
be sufficient for driving the average driving range of the vehicle with a complete tank of fuel since the activation of
the inducement system.
8.3.1.2. In the case that the inducement system was activated at the level described in paragraph 8.2.(b), engine restarts
shall be prevented immediately after the vehicle has travelled a distance expected to be sufficient for driving 75
per cent of the average driving range of the vehicle with a complete tank of fuel since the activation of the
inducement system.
8.3.1.3. In the case that the inducement system was activated at the level described in paragraph 8.2.(c), engine restarts
shall be prevented immediately after the vehicle has travelled a distance expected to be sufficient for driving the
average driving range of the vehicle with 5 per cent of the capacity of the reagent tank, since the activation of the
inducement system.
8.3.1.4. In addition, engine restarts shall be prevented immediately after the reagent tank becomes empty, should this
situation occur earlier than the situations specified in paragraphs 8.3.1.1, 8.3.1.2., or 8.3.1.3.
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. This paragraph and sub-paragraphs are only applicable for Level 1A.
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.
8.3.4.1. In the case that the warning system was activated at least 2 400 km before the reagent tank was expected to
become empty, or the irregularities described in paragraphs 4. or 5. or the NOx levels described in paragraph 6.2.
have occurred, engine restarts shall be prevented immediately after the vehicle has travelled a distance expected to
be sufficient for driving the average driving range of the vehicle with a complete tank of fuel since the activation of
the inducement system.
8.3.4.2. In the case that the inducement system was activated at the level described in paragraph 8.2.(b), engine restarts
shall be prevented immediately after the vehicle has travelled a distance expected to be sufficient for driving 75
per cent of the average driving range of the vehicle with a complete tank of fuel since the activation of the
inducement system.
8.3.4.3. In the case that the inducement system was activated at the level described in paragraph 8.2.(c), engine restarts
shall be prevented immediately after the vehicle has travelled a distance expected to be sufficient for driving the
average driving range of the vehicle with 5 per cent of the capacity of the reagent tank, since the activation of the
inducement system.26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/77
8.3.4.4. In addition, engine restarts shall be prevented immediately after the reagent tank becomes empty, should this
situation occur earlier than the situations specified in paragraphs 8.3.4.1., 8.3.4.2. or 8.3.4.3.
8.4. Once the inducement system has prevented engine restarts, the inducement system shall only be deactivated if the
irregularities specified in paragraphs 4., 5., or 6. have been rectified or if the quantity of reagent added to the
vehicle meets at least one of the following criteria:
(a) Expected to be sufficient for driving 150 per cent of an average driving range with a complete tank of fuel; or
(b) At least 10 per cent of the capacity of the reagent tank.
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. Detailed written information fully describing the functional operation characteristics of the driver inducement
system shall be provided to the Type Approval Authority at the time of approval.
8.7. 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 with clear written information about any exhaust after-
treatment system which uses a reagent. This information shall state that if such an exhaust after-treatment 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 replenished by the vehicle driver between normal
maintenance intervals. They shall indicate how the vehicle driver should replenish 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 replenishing of, a required reagent of the correct specifications is
mandatory for the vehicle to comply with its certificate of conformity.
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.L 423/78 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
10. OPERATING CONDITIONS OF THE AFTER-TREATMENT SYSTEM
Manufacturers shall ensure that any exhaust after-treatment system which uses a reagent 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 is frozen, the manufacturer shall ensure that the reagent shall
be liquefied and ready for use within 20 minutes of the vehicle being started at 258 K (– 15 °C) measured inside
the reagent tank.26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/79

8. CYCLE MODIFICATION
This paragraph shall not apply to OVC-HEVs, NOVC-HEVs and NOVC-FCHVs.
8.1. General remarks
Driveability problems may occur for vehicles with power to mass ratios close to the borderlines between Class 1
and Class 2 vehicles, or between Class 2 and Class 3 vehicles, or for very low powered vehicles in Class 1.
Since these problems are related mainly to cycle phases with a combination of high vehicle speed and high
accelerations rather than to the maximum speed of the cycle, the downscaling procedure shall be applied to
improve driveability.
8.2. This paragraph describes the method to modify the cycle profile using the downscaling procedure. The modified
vehicle speed values calculated according to paragraphs 8.2.1. to 8.2.3. shall be rounded according to
paragraph 6.1.8. of this Regulation to 1 place of decimal in a final step.
8.2.1. Downscaling procedure for Class 1 cycles
Figure A1/14 shows an example of a downscaled medium speed phase of the Class 1 WLTC.
Figure A1/14

For the Class 1 cycle, the downscaling period is the time period between second 651 and second 906. Within
this time period, the acceleration for the original cycle shall be calculated using the following equation:
a ¼v iþ1 – v i

where:
v is the vehicle speed, km/h;

For i¼849to906.
8.2.2. Downscaling procedure for Class 2 cycles
This paragraph is only applicable for Level 1A.
Since the driveability problems are exclusively related to the extra high speed phases of the Class 2 and Class 3
cycles, the downscaling is related to those time periods of the extra high speed phases where driveability
problems are expected to occur (see Figures A1/15 and A1/16).26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/225

For the Class 2 cycle, the downscaling period is the time period between second 1 520 and second 1 742.
Within this time period, the acceleration for the original cycle shall be calculated using the following equation:

Figure A1/16 shows an example for a downscaled extra high speed phase of the Class 3 WLTC.
Figure A1/16
Downscaled extra high speed phase of the Class 3 WLTC
For the Class 3 cycle, the downscaling period is the time period between second 1 533 and second 1 762.

8.4. Additional requirements (as applicable)
For different vehicle configurations in terms of test mass and driving resistance coefficients, downscaling shall
be applied individually.
If, after application of downscaling, the vehicle’s maximum speed is lower than the maximum speed of the cycle,
the process described in paragraph 9. of this annex shall be applied with the applicable cycle.
If the vehicle cannot follow the speed trace of the applicable cycle within the tolerance at speeds lower than its
maximum speed, it shall be driven with the accelerator control fully activated during these periods. During
such periods of operation, speed trace violations shall be permitted.
9. Cycle modifications for vehicles with a maximum speed lower than the maximum speed of the cycle specified in
the previous paragraphs of this annex
9.1. General remarks
This paragraph applies to vehicles that are technically able to follow the speed trace of the applicable cycle
specified in paragraph 1. of this annex (base cycle) at speeds lower than its maximum speed, but whose
maximum speed is limited to a value lower than the maximum speed of the base cycle for other reasons. For
the purposes of this paragraph, the applicable cycle specified in paragraph 1. shall be referred to as the "base
cycle" and is used to determine the capped speed cycle.
In the cases where downscaling according to paragraph 8.2. of this annex is applied, the downscaled cycle shall
be used as the base cycle.

ANNEX B2
Gear selection and shift point determination for vehicles equipped with manual transmissions
1. GENERAL APPROACH
1.1. The shifting procedures described in this annex shall apply to vehicles equipped with manual shift transmissions.
1.2. The prescribed gears and shifting points are based on the balance between the power required to overcome driving
resistance and acceleration, and the power provided by the engine in all possible gears at a specific cycle phase.
1.3. The calculation to determine the gears to use shall be based on engine speeds and full load power curves versus engine
speed.
1.4. For vehicles equipped with a dual-range transmission (low and high), only the range designed for normal on-road
operation shall be considered for gear use determination.
1.5. The prescriptions for clutch operation shall not be applied if the clutch is operated automatically without the need of
an engagement or disengagement of the driver.
1.6. This annex shall not apply to vehicles tested according to Annex B8.
2. REQUIRED DATA AND PRECALCULATIONS
The following data are required and calculations shall be performed in order to determine the gears to be used when

where:
v is the vehicle speed specified above, km/h.
The available power at vehicle speed v in gear ng, gear ng–1 or gear ng–2 shall be determined from the full load

and by reducing the power values of the full load power curve by 10 per cent.
The method described above shall be extended to even lower gears, i.e. ng–3, ng–4, etc. if necessary.
If, for the purpose of limiting maximum vehicle speed, the maximum engine speed is limited to n which is
lim
lower than the engine speed corresponding to the intersection of the road load power curve and the available
power curve, then:
ng = ng and v = n / (n/v)(ng).

3. CALCULATIONS OF REQUIRED POWER, ENGINE SPEEDS, AVAILABLE POWER, AND POSSIBLE GEAR TO BE USED
3.1. Calculation of required power
For each second j of the cycle trace, the power required to overcome driving resistance and to accelerate shall be
calculated using the following equation:

end
Regulation), s;
The acceleration value at second t (second 1 611for class 1 cycle and second 1 800for class 2 and 3 cycles) may be

set to 0 in order to avoid empty cells.
kr is a factor taking the inertial resistances of the drivetrain during acceleration into account and is
set to 1,03.
3.2. Determination of engine speeds
For any v <1,0km/h, it shall be assumed that the vehicle is standing still and the engine speed shall be set to n .

The gear lever shall be placed in neutral with the clutch engaged except 1 second before beginning an acceleration
from standstill where first gear shall be selected with the clutch disengaged.

idle wot
“Undefined” covers any status of the clutch between disengaged and engaged, depending on the individual engine and
transmission design. In such a case, the real engine speed may deviate from the calculated engine speed.
With regard to the definition of n in paragraph 2 (k) the requirements (a) to (c) specified above can be expressed
min_drive
as follows for deceleration phases:
During a deceleration phase, gears with n > 2 shall be used as long as the engine speed does not drop below
gear
n .
min_driveL 423/238 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
Gear 2 shall be used during a deceleration phase within a short trip of the cycle (not at the end of a short trip) as long
as the engine speed does not drop below (0,9 × n ).
idle
If the engine speed drops below n , the clutch shall be disengaged.
idle
If the deceleration phase is the last part of a short trip shortly before a stop phase, the second gear shall be used as long
as the engine speed does not drop below n . This requirement shall be applied to the whole deceleration phase

A deceleration phase is a time period of more than 2 seconds with a vehicle speed ≥ 1,0 km/h and with strictly
monotonic decrease of vehicle speed (see paragraph 4. of this annex).
3.4. Calculation of available power
For each engine speed value n of the full load power curve as specified in paragraph 2 (h) of this annex the available

4. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR CORRECTIONS AND/OR MODIFICATIONS OF GEAR USE
The initial gear selection shall be checked and modified in order to avoid too frequent gearshifts and to ensure
driveability and practicality.
An acceleration phase is a time period of more than 2 seconds with a vehicle speed ≥ 1,0 km/h and with strictly
monotonic increase of vehicle speed. A deceleration phase is a time period of more than 2 seconds with a vehicle
speed ≥ 1,0 km/h and with strictly monotonic decrease of vehicle speed. A constant speed phase is a time period of
more than 2 seconds with a constant vehicle speed ≥ 1,0 km/h.
The end of an acceleration/deceleration phase is determined by the last time sample in which the vehicle speed is
higher/lower than the vehicle speed of the previous time sample. In this context the end of a deceleration phase could
be the beginning of an acceleration phase. In this case the requirements for acceleration phases overrule the
requirements for deceleration phases.
Corrections and/or modifications shall be made according to the following requirements:
The modification check described in paragraph 4.(a) of this annex shall be applied to the complete cycle trace twice
prior to the application of paragraphs 4.(b) to 4.(f) of this annex.
(a) If a one step higher gear (n + 1) is required for only 1 second and the gears before and after are the same (n) or one
of them is one step lower (n – 1), gear (n + 1) shall be corrected to gear n.
Examples:
Gear sequence – 1, i, – 1 shall be replaced by:
– 1, – 1, – 1;
Gear sequence – 1, i, – 2 shall be replaced by:
– 1, – 1, – 2;
Gear sequence – 2, i, – 1 shall be replaced by:
– 2, – 1, – 1.
If, during acceleration or constant speed phases or transitions from constant speed to acceleration or acceleration
to constant speed phases where these phases only contain upshifts, a gear is used for only one second, the gear in
the following second shall be corrected to the gear before, so that a gear is used for at least 2 seconds.
Examples:
Gear sequence 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 shall be replaced by:
1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3.
Gear sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6 shall be replaced by:
1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6.L 423/240 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
This requirement shall not be applied to downshifts during an acceleration phase or if the use of a gear for just
one second follows immediately after such a downshift or if the downshift occurs right at the beginning of an
acceleration phase. In these cases, the downshifts shall be first corrected according to paragraph 4.(b) of this
annex.
Example:
Gear sequence 4, 4, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, where the first second or the third second determines the start of an acceleration
phase and where paragraph 4.(b) does not apply in the further course of the acceleration phase, shall be replaced
by:
4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5.
However, if the gear at the beginning of an acceleration phase is one step lower than the gear in the previous
second and the gears in the following (up to five) seconds are the same as the gear in the previous second but
followed by a downshift, so that the application of paragraph 4.(c) would correct them to the same gear as at the
beginning of the acceleration phase, the application of paragraph 4.(c) should be performed instead.
Example:
For a speed trace sequence
19,6 18,3 18,0 18,3 18,5 17,9 15,0 km/h
with an initial gear use of
3 3 2 3 3 2 2,
the gears in the fourth and fifth second shall be corrected to a one step lower gear (which would be done by an
application of paragraph 4.(c)) instead of a correction of the gear at the beginning of the acceleration phase
(second three), so that the correction results in the following gear sequence
3 3 2 2 2 2 2
Furthermore, if the gear in the first second of an acceleration phase is the same as the gear in the previous second
and the gear in the following seconds is one step higher, the gear in the 2nd second of the acceleration phase shall
be replaced by the gear used in the first second of the acceleration phase.
Example:
For a speed trace sequence
30,9 25,5 21,4 20,2 22,9 26,6 30,2 km/h
with an initial gear use of
3 3 2 2 3 3 3,
the gear in the fifth second (the 2nd second of the acceleration phase) shall be corrected to a one step lower gear in
order to ensure the use of a gear within the acceleration phase for at least two seconds, so that the correction
results in the following gear sequence
3 3 2 2 2 3 3
Gears shall not be skipped during upshifts within acceleration phases.
However, an upshift by two gears is permitted at the transition from an acceleration phase to a constant speed
phase if the duration of the constant speed phase exceeds 5 seconds.26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/241
(b) If a downshift is required during an acceleration phase or at the beginning of the acceleration phase, the gear
required during this downshift shall be noted (i ). The starting point of a correction procedure is defined by
DS
either the last previous second when i was identified or by the starting point of the acceleration phase if all
DS
time samples before have gears > i . The highest gear of the time samples before the downshift determines the
DS
reference gear i for the downshift. A downshift where i = i – 1 is referred to as a one step downshift, a
ref DS ref
downshift where i = i – 2 is referred to as a two step downshift, a downshift where i = i – 3 is referred to
DS ref DS ref
as a three step downshift. The following check shall then be applied.
(i) One step downshifts
Working forward from the starting point of the correction procedure to the end of the acceleration phase, the
latest occurrence of a 10 second window containing i for either 2 or more consecutive seconds, or 2 or
DS
more individual seconds, shall be identified. The last usage of i in this window defines the end point of the
DS
correction procedure. Between the start and end of the correction period, all requirements for gears greater
than i shall be corrected to a requirement of i .
DS DS
From the end of the correction period (in case of 10 second windows containing i for either 2 or more
DS
consecutive seconds, or 2 or more individual seconds) or from the starting point of the correction
procedure (in case that all 10 second windows contain i only for one second or some 10 second windows
DS
contain no i at all) to the end of the acceleration phase all downshifts with a duration of only one second
DS
shall be removed.
(ii) Two or three step downshifts
Working forward from the starting point of the correction procedure to the end of the acceleration
phase, the latest occurrence of i shall be identified. From the starting point of the correction
DS
procedure all requirements for gears greater than or equal to i up to the latest occurrence of i shall
DS DS
be corrected to (i + 1).
DS
(iii) One step downshifts and two step and/or three step downshifts
If one step downshifts as well as two step and/or three step downshifts occur during an acceleration phase,
three step downshifts shall be corrected before two or one step downshifts are corrected and two step
downshifts shall be corrected before one step downshifts are corrected. In such cases, the starting point of
the correction procedure for the two or one step downshifts is the second immediately following the end of
the correction period for the three step downshifts and the starting point of the correction procedure for the
one step downshifts is the second immediately following the end of the correction period for the two step
downshifts. If a three step downshift occurs after a one or two step downshift, it shall overrule these
downshifts in the time period before the three step downshift. If a two step downshift occurs after a one step
downshift, it shall overrule the one step downshift in the time period before the two step downshift.

This correction shall not be performed for gear 1. The requirements of the 3rd sub-paragraph of paragraph 3.3. (If
a ≥ 0…..) shall not be applied for gear corrections described in this paragraph for gears > 2.
j
The modification check described in paragraph 4.(c) of this annex shall be applied to the complete cycle trace
twice prior to the application of paragraphs 4.(d) to 4.(f) of this annex.
(c) If gear i is used for a time sequence of 1 to 5 seconds and the gear prior to this sequence is one step lower and the
gear after this sequence is one or two steps lower than within this sequence or the gear prior to this sequence is
two steps lower and the gear after this sequence is one step lower than within the sequence, the gear for the
sequence shall be corrected to the maximum of the gears before and after the sequence.
Examples:
(i) Gear sequence – 1, i, – 1 shall be replaced by:
– 1, – 1, – 1;
Gear sequence – 1, i, – 2 shall be replaced by:
– 1, – 1, – 2;
Gear sequence – 2, i, – 1 shall be replaced by:
– 2, – 1, – 1.
(ii) Gear sequence – 1, i, i, – 1 shall be replaced by:

Gear sequence – 1, i, i, – 2 shall be replaced by:
i - 1, – 1, – 1, – 2;
Gear sequence – 2, i, i, – 1 shall be replaced by:
– 2, – 1, – 1, – 1.
(iii) Gear sequence – 1, i, i, i, – 1shall be replaced by:
i – 1, i – 1, i – 1, i – 1, – 1;
Gear sequence i – 1, i, i, i, – 2 shall be replaced by:

minL 423/248 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
(d) No upshift to a higher gear shall be performed within a deceleration phase.
(e) No upshift to a higher gear at the transition from an acceleration or constant speed phase to a deceleration phase
shall be performed if one of the gears in the first two seconds following the end of the deceleration phase is lower
than the upshifted gear or is gear 0.
Example:
If v ≤ v and v < v and gear i = 4 and gear (i + 1 = 5) and gear (i + 2 = 5), then gear (i + 1) and gear (i + 2)
i i+1 i+2 i+1
shall be set to 4 if the gear for the phase following the deceleration phase is gear 4 or lower. For all following
cycle trace points with gear 5 within the deceleration phase, the gear shall also be set to 4. If the gear following
the deceleration phase is gear 5, an upshift shall be performed.
If there is an upshift during the transition and the initial deceleration phase by 2 gears, an upshift by 1 gear shall
be performed instead. In this case, no further modifications shall be performed in the following gear use checks.
(f) Other gear modifications for deceleration phases
A downshift to first gear is not permitted during deceleration phases. If such a downshift would be necessary in
the last part of a short trip just before a stop phase, since the engine speed would drop below n in 2nd gear, gear
idle
0 shall be used instead and the gear lever shall be placed in neutral and the clutch shall be engaged.
If the first gear is required in a time period of at least 2 seconds immediately before a deceleration to stop, this gear
should be used until the first sample of the deceleration phase. For the rest of the deceleration phase, gear 0 shall
be used and the gear lever shall be placed in neutral and the clutch shall be engaged.
If during a deceleration phase the duration of a gear period (a time sequence with constant gear) between two gear
periods of 3 seconds or more is only 1 second, it shall be replaced by gear 0 and the clutch shall be disengaged.
If during a deceleration phase the duration of a gear period between two gear periods of 3 seconds or more is 2
seconds, it shall be replaced by gear 0 for the 1st second and for the 2nd second with the gear that follows after the
2 second period. The clutch shall be disengaged for the 1st second.
Example: A gear sequence 5, 4, 4, 2 shall be replaced by 5, 0, 2, 2.
This requirement shall only be applied if the gear that follows after the 2 second period is > 0.
If several gear periods with durations of 1 or 2 seconds follow one another, corrections shall be performed as
follows:
A gear sequence i, i, i, – 1, – 1, – 2 or i, i, i, – 1, – 2, – 2 shall be changed to i, i, i, 0, – 2, – 2.
A gear sequence such as i, i, i, – 1, – 2, – 3 or i, i, i, – 2, – 2, – 3 or other possible combinations shall be changed to
i, i, i, 0, – 3, – 3.
This change shall also be applied to gear sequences where the acceleration is ≥ 0 for the first 2 seconds and < 0 for
the 3rd second or where the acceleration is ≥ 0 for the last 2 seconds.
For extreme transmission designs, it is possible that gear periods with durations of 1 or 2 seconds following one
another may last up to 7 seconds. In such cases, the correction above shall be complemented by the following
correction requirements in a second step.
A gear sequence j, 0, i, i, – 1, k with j > (i + 1) and k ≤ (i – 1) but k > 0 shall be changed to j, 0, – 1, – 1, – 1, k, if
gear (i – 1) is one or two steps below i for second 3 of this sequence (one after gear 0).
max
If gear (i – 1) is more than two steps below i for second 3 of this sequence, a gear sequence j, 0, i, i, – 1, k with j
max
> (i + 1) and k ≤ (i –1) but k > 0 shall be changed to j, 0, 0, k, k, k.
A gear sequence j, 0, i, i, i-2, k with j > (i + 1) and k ≤ (i – 2) but k > 0 shall be changed to j, 0, – 2, – 2 , – 2, k, if
gear (i – 2) is one or two steps below i for second 3 of this sequence (one after gear 0).
max26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/249
If gear (i – 2) is more than two steps below i for second 3 of this sequence, a gear sequence j, 0, i, i, – 2, k with j
max
> (i + 1) and k ≤ (i – 2) but k > 0 shall be changed to j, 0, 0, k, k, k.
In all cases specified above in this sub-paragraph (paragraph 4.(f) of this annex), the clutch disengagement (gear 0)
for 1 second is used in order to avoid too high engine speeds for this second. If this is not an issue and, if requested
by the manufacturer, it is allowed to use the lower gear of the following second directly instead of gear 0 for
downshifts of up to 3 steps. The use of this option shall be recorded.
If the deceleration phase is the last part of a short trip shortly before a stop phase and the last gear > 0 before the
stop phase is used only for a period of up to 2 seconds, gear 0 shall be used instead and the gear lever shall be
placed in neutral and the clutch shall be engaged.
Examples: A gear sequence of 4, 0, 2, 2, 0 for the last 5 seconds before a stop phase shall be replaced by 4, 0, 0, 0,
0. A gear sequence of 4, 3, 3, 0 for the last 4 seconds before a stop phase shall be replaced by 4, 0, 0, 0.
5. FINAL REQUIREMENTS
(a) Paragraphs 4.(a) to 4.(f) inclusive of this annex shall be applied sequentially, scanning the complete cycle trace in
each case. Since modifications to paragraphs 4.(a) to 4.(f) inclusive of this annex may create new gear use
sequences, these new gear sequences shall be checked twice and modified if necessary.
(b) After the application of paragraph 4.(b) of this annex, a downshift by more than one gear could occur at the
transition from a deceleration or constant speed phase to an acceleration phase.
In this case, the gear for the last sample of the deceleration or constant speed phase shall be replaced by gear 0 and
the clutch shall be disengaged. If the “suppress gear 0 during downshifts” option according to paragraph 4.(f) of
this annex is chosen, the gear of the following second (first second of the acceleration phase) shall be used instead
of gear 0.
(c) In order to enable the assessment of the correctness of the calculation, the checksum of v*gear for v ≥ 1,0 km/h,
rounded according to paragraph 6.1.8. of this Regulation to four places of decimal, shall be calculated and
recorded.
6. CALCULATION TOOLS
Examples of gear shift calculating tools can be found in the same webpage as this Regulation.(1)
The following tools are provided:
(a) ACCESS based tool,
(b) Matlab code tool
(c) NET core tool
These tools were validated by the comparison of calculation results between the ACCESS tool, the Matlab code and the
.NET core code for 115 different vehicle configurations supplemented by additional calculations for 7 of them with
additional options like "apply speed cap", "suppress downscaling", "choose other vehicle class cycle" and "choose
individual n values".
min_drive
The 115 vehicle configurations cover extreme technical designs for transmission and engines and all vehicle classes.
All three tools deliver identical results with respect to gear use and clutch operation and although only the text in
Annexes B1 and B2 is legally binding the tools have achieved a status that qualifies them as reference tools

ANNEX B4
Road load and dynamometer setting
1. SCOPE
This annex describes the determination of the road load of a test vehicle and the transfer of that road load to a
chassis dynamometer.
2. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
2.1. For the purpose of this document, the terms and definitions given in paragraph 3. of this Regulation shall have
primacy. Where definitions are not provided in paragraph 3. of this Regulation, definitions given in
ISO 3833:1977 "Road vehicles – Types – Terms and definitions" shall apply.
2.2. Reference speed points shall start at 20 km/h in incremental steps of 10 km/h and with the highest reference
speed according to the following provisions:
(a) The highest reference speed point shall be 130 km/h or the reference speed point immediately above the
maximum speed of the applicable test cycle if this value is less than 130 km/h. In the case that the
applicable test cycle contains less than the 4 cycle phases (Low, Medium, High and Extra High) and at the
request of the manufacturer and with approval of the responsible authority, the highest reference speed
may be increased to the reference speed point immediately above the maximum speed of the next higher
phase, but no higher than 130 km/h; in this case road load determination and chassis dynamometer
setting shall be done with the same reference speed points;
(b) If a reference speed point applicable for the cycle plus 14 km/h is more than or equal to the maximum
vehicle speed v , this reference speed point shall be excluded from the coastdown test and from chassis
max
dynamometer setting. The next lower reference speed point shall become the highest reference speed
point for the vehicle.
2.3. Unless otherwise specified, a cycle energy demand shall be calculated according to paragraph 5. of Annex B7
over the target speed trace of the applicable drive cycle.
2.4. f , f , f are the road load coefficients of the road load equation F = f + f × v + f × v2 determined according to
0 1 2 0 1 2
this annex.
f is the constant road load coefficient and shall be rounded according to paragraph 6.1.8. of this
0
Regulation to one place of decimal, N;
f is the first order road load coefficient and shall be rounded according to paragraph 6.1.8. of this
1
Regulation to three places of decimal, N/(km/h);
f is the second order road load coefficient and shall be rounded according to paragraph 6.1.8. of this
2
Regulation to five places of decimal, N/(km/h)2.
Unless otherwise stated, the road load coefficients shall be calculated with a least square regression analysis
over the range of the reference speed points.
2.5. Rotational mass
2.5.1. Determination of m
r
m is the equivalent effective mass of all the wheels and vehicle components rotating with the wheels on the
r
road while the gearbox is placed in neutral, in kilograms (kg). m shall be measured or calculated using an
r
appropriate technique agreed upon by the responsible authority. Alternatively, m may be estimated to be 3
r
per cent of the sum of the mass in running order and 25 kg.L 423/264 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
2.5.2. Application of rotational mass to the road load
Coastdown times shall be transferred to forces and vice versa by taking into account the applicable test mass
plus m. This shall apply to measurements on the road as well as on a chassis dynamometer.
r
2.5.3. Application of rotational mass for the inertia setting
If the vehicle is tested on a dynamometer in 4WD operation, the equivalent inertia mass of the chassis
dynamometer shall be set to the applicable test mass.
Otherwise, the equivalent inertia mass of the chassis dynamometer shall be set to the test mass plus either the
equivalent effective mass of the wheels not influencing the measurement results or 50 per cent of m.
r
2.6. Additional masses for setting the test mass shall be applied such that the weight distribution of that vehicle is
approximately the same as that of the vehicle with its mass in running order. In the case of Category N vehicles
or passenger vehicles derived from Category N vehicles, the additional masses shall be located in a
representative manner and shall be justified to the responsible authority upon their request. The weight
distribution of the vehicle shall be recorded and shall be used for any subsequent road load determination
testing.

4.1. Requirements for road test
4.1.1. Atmospheric conditions for road test
Atmospheric conditions (wind conditions, atmospheric temperature and atmospheric pressure) shall be
measured according to paragraph 3.1. of this annex. Only those atmospheric conditions measured during
coastdown time measurements and/or torque measurement shall be used for checking data validity and
corrections.
4.1.1.1. Permissible wind conditions when using stationary anemometry and on-board anemometry
4.1.1.1.1. Permissible wind conditions when using stationary anemometry
The wind speed shall be measured at a location and height above the road level alongside the test road where
the most representative wind conditions will be experienced. In cases where tests in opposite directions
cannot be performed at the same part of the test track (e.g. on an oval test track with an obligatory driving
direction), the wind speed and direction shall be measured at the opposite parts of the test track.
The wind conditions during run pairs shall meet all of the following criteria:
(a) Wind speed shall be less than 5 m/s over a 5 second moving average period;
(b) Peak wind speeds shall not exceed 8 m/s for more than 2 consecutive seconds;
(c) The arithmetic average vector component of the wind speed across the test road shall be less than 2 m/s.
The wind correction shall be calculated according to paragraph 4.5.3. of this annex.
4.1.1.1.2. Permissible wind conditions when using on-board anemometry
For testing with an on-board anemometer, a device as described in paragraph 4.3.2. of this annex shall be
used.
The wind conditions during run pairs shall meet all of the following criteria:
(a) The arithmetic average of the wind speed shall be less than 7 m/s;
(b) Peak wind speeds shall not exceed 10 m/s for more than 2 consecutive seconds;
(c) The arithmetic average vector component of the wind speed across the road shall be less than 4 m/s.
4.1.1.2. Atmospheric temperature
The atmospheric temperature should be within the range of 5 °C up to and including 40 °C.
At the option of the manufacturer, coastdowns may be performed between 1 °C and 5 °C.
If the difference between the highest and the lowest measured temperature during the coastdown test is more
than 5 °C, the temperature correction shall be applied separately for each run with the arithmetic average of
the ambient temperature of that run.
In that case, the values of the road load coefficients f , f and f shall be determined and corrected for each run

0 1 2
f , f and f respectively.
0 1 2L 423/268 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
4.1.2. Test road
The road surface shall be flat, even, clean, dry and free of obstacles or wind barriers that might impede the
measurement of the road load, and its texture and composition shall be representative of current urban and
highway road surfaces, i.e. no airstrip-specific surface. The longitudinal slope of the test road shall not exceed
1 per cent. The local slope between any points 3 metres apart shall not deviate more than 0,5 per cent from

parallel test track segments shall be between 0 and an upward slope of 0,1 per cent. The maximum camber of
the test road shall be 1,5 per cent.
4.2. Preparation
4.2.1. Test vehicle
Each test vehicle shall conform in all its components with the production series, (e.g. side mirrors shall be
same position as during normal vehicle operation, body gaps shall not be sealed), or, if the vehicle is different
from the production vehicle, a full description shall be recorded.
4.2.1.1. Requirements for test vehicle selection
4.2.1.1.1. Without using the interpolation method
A test vehicle (vehicle H) with the combination of road load relevant characteristics (i.e. mass, aerodynamic
drag and tyre rolling resistance) producing the highest cycle energy demand shall be selected from the family
(see paragraphs 6.3.2. and 6.3.3. of this Regulation).
If the aerodynamic influence of the different wheels within one interpolation family is not known, the
selection shall be based on the highest expected aerodynamic drag. As a guideline, the highest aerodynamic
drag may be expected for wheels with (a) the largest width, (b) the largest diameter, and (c) the most open
structure design (in that order of importance).
The wheel selection shall be performed additional to the requirement of the highest cycle energy demand.
4.2.1.1.2. Using an interpolation method
At the request of the manufacturer, an interpolation method may be applied.
In this case, two test vehicles shall be selected from the family complying with the respective family
requirement.
Test vehicle H shall be the vehicle producing the higher, and preferably highest, cycle energy demand of that
selection, test vehicle L the one producing the lower, and preferably lowest, cycle energy demand of that
selection.
All items of optional equipment and/or body shapes that are chosen not to be considered when applying the
interpolation method shall be identical for both test vehicles H and L such that these items of optional
equipment produce the highest combination of the cycle energy demand due to their road load relevant
characteristics (i.e. mass, aerodynamic drag and tyre rolling resistance).
In the case where individual vehicles can be supplied with a complete set of standard wheels and tyres and in
addition a complete set of snow tyres (marked with 3 Peaked Mountain and Snowflake – 3PMS) with or
without wheels, the additional wheels/tyres shall not be considered as optional equipment.
4.2.1.1.2.1. The following requirements between vehicles H and L shall be fulfilled for the road load relevant
characteristics:

(i) If f is below f* or above f as defined in paragraph 3.2.3.2.2.4. of Annex B7 while performing
0_ind 0_L 0_H
the calculation in paragraph 3.2.3.2.2.4. of Annex B7, the following minimum differences between H
and L are required:26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/269
Rolling resistance of at least 1.0 kg/tonne and a mass of at least 30 kg; in case of RR between 0
and 1,0, the minimum of the mass difference is replaced with 100 kg instead of 30 kg;
(ii) If f is below f* or above f as defined in paragraph 3.2.3.2.2.4. of Annex B7 while performing
2_ind 2_L 2_H
the calculation in paragraph 3.2.3.2.2.4. of Annex B7, the following minimum difference between H
and L is required:
Aerodynamic drag (C × A) of at least 0,05 m2. If the manufacturer can demonstrate that the results
D f
after an extrapolation are still rational, the minimum criteria in points (i) to (iii) above can be waived.
(b) For each road load characteristic (i.e. mass, aerodynamic drag and tyre rolling resistance) as well as for the
road load coefficients f and f , the value of vehicle H shall be higher than that of vehicle L, otherwise the
0 2
worst case shall be applied for that road load relevant characteristic. At the request of the manufacturer
and upon approval by the responsible authority the requirements of this point can be waived.
4.2.1.1.2.2. To achieve a sufficient difference between vehicle H and vehicle L on a particular road load relevant
characteristic, or in order to fulfil criteria of paragraph 4.2.1.1.2.1. of this annex, the manufacturer may
artificially worsen vehicle H, e.g. by applying a higher test mass.
4.2.1.2. Requirements for families

(b) Fulfilling the requirements in paragraphs 2.3.1. and 2.3.2. of Annex B6;
(c) Performing the calculations in paragraph 3.2.3.2. of Annex B7.
4.2.1.2.3. Requirements for applying the road load family
4.2.1.2.3.1. At the request of the manufacturer and upon fulfilling the criteria of paragraph 6.3.3. of this Regulation, the
road load values for vehicles H and L of an interpolation family shall be calculated.
4.2.1.2.3.2. Test vehicles H and L as defined in paragraph 4.2.1.1.2. of this annex shall be referred to as H and L for the
R R
purpose of the road load family.
4.2.1.2.3.3. The difference in cycle energy demand between H and L of the road load family shall be at least 4 per cent
R R
and shall not exceed 35 per cent based on H over a complete WLTC Class 3 cycle.

If more than one transmission is included in the road load family, a transmission with the highest power losses
shall be used for road load determination.
4.2.1.2.3.4. If the road load delta of the vehicle option causing the friction difference is determined according to
paragraph 6.8. of this annex, a new road load family shall be calculated which includes the road load delta in
both vehicle L and vehicle H of that new road load family.L 423/270 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021

D f R
of vehicle H (or L) of the interpolation family as inputs for the individual vehicle;
(c) Repeating this calculation for each H and L vehicle of every interpolation family within the road load
family.
The road load interpolation shall only be applied on those road load-relevant characteristics that were
identified to be different between test vehicle L and H . For other road load-relevant characteristic(s), the
R R
value of vehicle H shall apply.
R26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/271
H and L of the interpolation family may be derived from different road load families. If that difference between
these road load families comes from applying the delta method, refer to paragraph 4.2.1.2.3.4. of this annex.

terms of estimated worst C value and body shape; and
D
(b) Representative of the intended series of vehicles to be covered by the road load matrix family in terms of

future vehicles are equipped with movable aerodynamic items of optional equipment whose influence on
aerodynamic drag justifies the need for further requirements.
4.2.1.6. Weighing
Before and after the road load determination procedure, the selected vehicle shall be weighed, including the
test driver and equipment, to determine the arithmetic average mass m . The mass of the vehicle shall be
av
greater than or equal to the test mass of vehicle H or of vehicle L at the start of the road load determination
procedure.

avoid unrepresentative parasitic drag.
4.2.1.8.3. Wheel alignment
Toe and camber shall be set to the maximum deviation from the longitudinal axis of the vehicle in the range
defined by the manufacturer. If a manufacturer prescribes values for toe and camber for the vehicle, these
values shall be used. At the request of the manufacturer, values with higher deviations from the longitudinal
axis of the vehicle than the prescribed values may be used. The prescribed values shall be the reference for all
maintenance during the lifetime of the vehicle.
Other adjustable wheel alignment parameters (such as caster) shall be set to the values recommended by the
manufacturer. In the absence of recommended values, they shall be set to the arithmetic average of the range
defined by the manufacturer.
Such adjustable parameters and set values shall be recorded.

If the interpolation method is applied to rolling resistance, the actual rolling resistance values for the tyres
fitted to the test vehicles L and H shall be used as input for the interpolation method. For an individual vehicle
within an interpolation family, the RRC value for the energy efficiency class of the tyres fitted shall be used.
In the case where individual vehicles can be supplied with a complete set of standard wheels and tyres and in
addition a complete set of snow tyres (marked with 3 Peaked Mountain and Snowflake – 3PMS) with or

Warming up shall be only performed by driving the vehicle.
4.2.4.1.1. Before warm-up, the vehicle shall be decelerated with the clutch disengaged or an automatic transmission
placed in neutral by moderate braking from 80 to 20 km/h within 5 to 10 seconds. After this braking, there

4.3.1.2. Data collection
During the test, elapsed time and vehicle speed shall be measured at a minimum frequency of 10 Hz.

to each coastdown run, the vehicle shall be accelerated to 10 to 15 km/h above the highest reference speed
and shall be driven at that speed for a maximum of 1 minute. After that, the coastdown run shall be started
immediately.
4.3.1.3.2. During a coastdown run, the transmission shall be in neutral. Any movement of the steering wheel shall be
avoided as much as possible, and the vehicle brakes shall not be operated.

4.3.1.3.4. Although it is recommended that each coastdown run should be performed without interruption, if data
cannot be collected in a single run for all the reference speed points, the coastdown test may be performed
with coastdown runs where the first and last reference speeds are not necessarily the highest and lowest
reference speeds. In this case, the following additional requirements shall apply:
(a) At least one reference speed in each coastdown run shall overlap with the immediately higher speed range
coastdown run. This reference speed shall be referred to as a split point;
(b) At each overlapped reference speed, the average force of the immediately lower speed coastdown run shall
not deviate from the average force of the immediately higher speed coastdown run by ± 10 N or ± 5 per
cent, whichever is greater;
(c) Overlapped reference speed data of the lower speed coastdown run shall be used only for checking
criterion (b) and shall be excluded from evaluation of the statistical precision as defined in
paragraph 4.3.1.4.2. of this annex;
(d) The overlapped speed may be less than 10 km/h but shall not be less than 5 km/h. In this case, overlap
criterion (b) shall be checked by either extrapolating the polynomial curves for the lower and higher
speed segment to a 10 km/h overlap, or by comparing the average force in the specific speed range.
4.3.1.3.5. It is recommended that coastdown runs should be conducted successively without undue delay between runs.
If there is a delay between runs (e.g. for a driver break, checking vehicle integrity, etc.), the vehicle shall be
warmed up again as described in paragraph 4.2.4. and the coastdown runs shall be re-commenced from this
point.L 423/276 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021

4.3.1.4.5. Correction to reference conditions

specified in paragraph 4.5. of this annex.
4.3.2. Coastdown method using on-board anemometry
The vehicle shall be warmed up and stabilised according to paragraph 4.2.4. of this annex.
4.3.2.1. Additional instrumentation for on-board anemometry
The on-board anemometer and instrumentation shall be calibrated by means of operation on the test vehicle
where such calibration occurs during the warm-up for the test.
4.3.2.1.1. Relative wind speed shall be measured at a minimum frequency of 1 Hz and to an accuracy of 0,3 m/s. Vehicle
blockage shall be accounted for in the calibration of the anemometer.
4.3.2.1.2. Wind direction shall be relative to the direction of the vehicle. The relative wind direction (yaw) shall be
measured with a resolution of 1 degree and an accuracy of 3 degrees; the dead band of the instrument shall
not exceed 10 degrees and shall be directed towards the rear of the vehicle.
4.3.2.1.3. Before the coastdown, the anemometer shall be calibrated for speed and yaw offset as specified in ISO
10521-1:2006(E) Annex A.
4.3.2.1.4. Anemometer blockage shall be corrected for in the calibration procedure as described in ISO
10521-1:2006(E) Annex A in order to minimise its effect.
4.3.2.2. Selection of vehicle speed range for road load curve determination
The test vehicle speed range shall be selected according to paragraph 2.2. of this annex.
4.3.2.3. Data collection
During the procedure, elapsed time, vehicle speed, and air velocity (speed, direction) relative to the vehicle,
shall be measured at a minimum frequency of 5 Hz. Ambient temperature shall be synchronised and sampled
at a minimum frequency of 0,1 Hz.
4.3.2.4. Vehicle coastdown procedure
The measurements shall be carried out in run pairs in opposite directions until a minimum of ten consecutive
runs (five pairs) have been obtained. Should an individual run fail to satisfy the required on-board
anemometry test conditions, that pair, i.e. that run and the corresponding run in the opposite direction, shall
be rejected. All valid pairs shall be included in the final analysis with a minimum of 5 pairs of coastdown
runs. See paragraph 4.3.2.6.10. of this annex for statistical validation criteria.
The anemometer shall be installed in a position such that the effect on the operating characteristics of the
vehicle is minimised.26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/279
The anemometer shall be installed according to one of the options below:
(a) Using a boom approximately 2 metres in front of the vehicle’s forward aerodynamic stagnation point;
(b) On the roof of the vehicle at its centreline. If possible, the anemometer shall be mounted within 30 cm
from the top of the windshield;
(c) On the engine compartment cover of the vehicle at its centreline, mounted at the midpoint position
between the vehicle front and the base of the windshield.
In all cases, the anemometer shall be mounted parallel to the road surface. In the event that positions (b) or (c)
are used, the coastdown results shall be analytically adjusted for the additional aerodynamic drag induced by
the anemometer. The adjustment shall be made by testing the coastdown vehicle in a wind tunnel both with
and without the anemometer installed in the same position as used on the track. The calculated difference
shall be the incremental aerodynamic drag coefficient C combined with the frontal area, which shall be used
D
to correct the coastdown results.
4.3.2.4.1. Following the vehicle warm-up procedure described in paragraph 4.2.4. of this annex and immediately prior
to each coastdown run, the vehicle shall be accelerated to 10 to 15 km/h above the highest reference speed
and shall be driven at that speed for a maximum of 1 minute. After that, the coastdown run shall be started
immediately.
4.3.2.4.2. During a coastdown run, the transmission shall be in neutral. Any steering wheel movement shall be avoided
as much as possible, and the vehicle’s brakes shall not be operated.
4.3.2.4.3. Although it is recommended that each coastdown run be performed without interruption, if data cannot be
collected in a single run for all the reference speed points the coastdown test may be performed with
coastdown runs where the first and last reference speeds are not necessarily the highest and lowest reference
speeds. For split runs, the following additional requirements shall apply:
(a) At least one reference speed in each coastdown run shall overlap with the immediately higher speed range
coastdown run. This reference speed shall be referred to as a split point;
(b) At each overlapped reference speed, the average force of the immediately lower speed coastdown run shall
not deviate from the average force of the immediately higher speed range coastdown run by ± 10 N or ± 5
per cent, whichever is greater;
(c) Overlapped reference speed data of the lower speed coastdown run shall be used only for checking
criterion (b) and shall be excluded from evaluation of the statistical precision as defined in
paragraph 4.3.1.4.2. of this annex;
(d) The overlapped speed may be less than 10 km/h but shall not be less than 5 km/h. In this case, overlap
criterion (b) shall be checked by either extrapolating the polynomial curves for the lower and higher
speed segment to a 10 km/h overlap, or by comparing the average force in the specific speed range.
4.3.2.4.4. It is recommended that coastdown runs should be conducted successively without undue delay between runs.
If there is a delay between runs (e.g. for a driver break, checking vehicle integrity, etc.), the vehicle shall be
warmed up again as described in paragraph 4.2.4. and the coastdown runs shall be re-commenced from this
point.

3. EXHAUST GAS DILUTION SYSTEM
3.1. System specification
3.1.1. Overview
3.1.1.1. A full flow exhaust dilution system shall be used. The total vehicle exhaust shall be continuously diluted with
ambient air under controlled conditions using a constant volume sampler. A critical flow venturi (CFV) or
multiple critical flow venturis arranged in parallel, a positive displacement pump (PDP), a subsonic venturi
(SSV), or an ultrasonic flow meter (UFM) may be used. The total volume of the mixture of exhaust and
dilution air shall be measured and a continuously proportional sample of the volume shall be collected for
analysis. The quantities of exhaust gas compounds shall be determined from the sample concentrations,
corrected for their respective content of the dilution air and the totalised flow over the test period.
3.1.1.2. The exhaust dilution system shall consist of a connecting tube, a mixing device and dilution tunnel, dilution
air conditioning, a suction device and a flow measurement device. Sampling probes shall be fitted in the
dilution tunnel as specified in paragraphs 4.1., 4.2. and 4.3. of this annex.
3.1.1.3. The mixing device referred to in paragraph 3.1.1.2. of this annex shall be a vessel such as that illustrated in
Figure A5/3 in which vehicle exhaust gases and the dilution air are combined so as to produce a
homogeneous mixture at the sampling position.
3.2. General requirements
3.2.1. The vehicle exhaust gases shall be diluted with a sufficient amount of ambient air to prevent any water
condensation in the sampling and measuring system at all conditions that may occur during a test.
3.2.2. The mixture of air and exhaust gases shall be homogeneous at the point where the sampling probes are
located (see paragraph 3.3.3. of this annex). The sampling probes shall extract representative samples of the
diluted exhaust gas.
3.2.3. The system shall enable the total volume of the diluted exhaust gases to be measured.
3.2.4. The sampling system shall be gas-tight. The design of the variable dilution sampling system and the
materials used in its construction shall be such that the concentration of any compound in the diluted
exhaust gases is not affected. If any component in the system (heat exchanger, cyclone separator, suction
device, etc.) changes the concentration of any of the exhaust gas compounds and the systematic error
cannot be corrected, sampling for that compound shall be carried out upstream from that component.26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/313
3.2.5. All parts of the dilution system in contact with raw or diluted exhaust gas shall be designed to minimise
deposition or alteration of the particulate or particles. All parts shall be made of electrically conductive
materials that do not react with exhaust gas components, and shall be electrically grounded to prevent
electrostatic effects.
3.2.6. If the vehicle being tested is equipped with an exhaust pipe comprising several branches, the connecting
tubes shall be connected as near as possible to the vehicle without adversely affecting their operation.

point, or first point of dilution.
For multiple tailpipe configurations where all the tailpipes are combined, the start of the connecting tube
shall be taken at the last joint of where all the tailpipes are combined. In this case, the tube between the exit
of the tailpipe and the start of the connecting tube may or may not be insulated or heated.
3.3.1.2. The connecting tube between the vehicle and dilution system shall be designed so as to minimize heat loss.
3.3.1.3. The connecting tube shall satisfy the following requirements:
(a) Be less than 3,6 metres long, or less than 6,1 metres long if heat-insulated. Its internal diameter shall not
exceed 105 mm; the insulating materials shall have a thickness of at least 25 mm and thermal
conductivity shall not exceed 0,1 W/m–1K–1 at 400 °C. Optionally, the tube may be heated to a
temperature above the dew point. This may be assumed to be achieved if the tube is heated to 70 °C;
(b) Not cause the static pressure at the exhaust outlets on the vehicle being tested to differ by more than
0,75 kPa at 50 km/h, or more than 1,25 kPa for the duration of the test from the static pressures
recorded when nothing is connected to the vehicle exhaust pipes. The pressure shall be measured in the
exhaust outlet or in an extension having the same diameter and as near as possible to the end of the
tailpipe. Sampling systems capable of maintaining the static pressure to within 0,25 kPa may be used if
a written request from a manufacturer to the responsible authority substantiates the need for the tighter
tolerance;
(c) No component of the connecting tube shall be of a material that might affect the gaseous or solid
composition of the exhaust gas. To avoid generation of any particles from elastomer connectors,
elastomers employed shall be as thermally stable as possible and have minimum exposure to the
exhaust gas. It is recommended not to use elastomer connectors to bridge the connection between the
vehicle exhaust and the connecting tube.
3.3.2. Dilution air conditioning
3.3.2.1. The dilution air used for the primary dilution of the exhaust in the CVS tunnel shall pass through a medium
capable of reducing particles of the most penetrating particle size in the filter material by ≤ 99,95 per cent,
or through a filter of at least Class H13 of EN 1822:2009. This represents the specification of High
Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters. The dilution air may optionally be charcoal-scrubbed before being
passed to the HEPA filter. It is recommended that an additional coarse particle filter be situated before the
HEPA filter and after the charcoal scrubber, if used.
3.3.2.2. At the vehicle manufacturer's request, the dilution air may be sampled according to good engineering
practice to determine the tunnel contribution to background particulate and particle levels (if PN
measurement is required), which can be subsequently subtracted from the values measured in the diluted
exhaust. See paragraph 2.1.3. of Annex B6.L 423/314 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
3.3.3. Dilution tunnel
3.3.3.1. Provision shall be made for the vehicle exhaust gases and the dilution air to be mixed. A mixing device may
be used.
3.3.3.2. The homogeneity of the mixture in any cross-section at the location of the sampling probe shall not vary by
more than ± 2 per cent from the arithmetic average of the values obtained for at least five points located at
equal intervals on the diameter of the gas stream.
3.3.3.3. For PM and PN ( if PN measurement is required) emissions sampling, a dilution tunnel shall be used that:
(a) Consists of a straight tube of electrically-conductive material that is grounded;
(b) Causes turbulent flow (Reynolds number ≥ 4 000) and be of sufficient length to cause complete mixing
of the exhaust and dilution air;
(c) Is at least 200 mm in diameter;
(d) May be insulated and/or heated.
3.3.4. Suction device
3.3.4.1. This device may have a range of fixed speeds to ensure sufficient flow to prevent any water condensation.
This result is obtained if the flow is either:
(a) Twice as high as the maximum flow of exhaust gas produced by accelerations of the driving cycle; or
(b) Sufficient to ensure that the CO concentration in the dilute exhaust sample bag is less than 3 per cent
2
by volume for petrol and diesel, less than 2,2 per cent by volume for LPG and less than 1,5 per cent by
volume for NG/biomethane.
3.3.4.2. Compliance with the requirements in paragraph 3.3.4.1. of this annex may not be necessary if the CVS
system is designed to inhibit condensation by such techniques, or combination of techniques, as:
(a) Reducing water content in the dilution air (dilution air dehumidification);
(b) Heating of the CVS dilution air and of all components up to the diluted exhaust flow measurement
device and, optionally, the bag sampling system including the sample bags and also the system for the
measurement of the bag concentrations.
In such cases, the selection of the CVS flow rate for the test shall be justified by showing that condensation
of water cannot occur at any point within the CVS, bag sampling or analytical system.
3.3.5. Volume measurement in the primary dilution system
3.3.5.1. The method of measuring total dilute exhaust volume incorporated in the constant volume sampler shall be
such that measurement is accurate to ± 2 per cent under all operating conditions. If the device cannot
compensate for variations in the temperature of the mixture of exhaust gases and dilution air at the
measuring point, a heat exchanger shall be used to maintain the temperature to within ± 6 °C of the
specified operating temperature for a PDP CVS, ± 11 °C for a CFV CVS, ± 6 °C for a UFM CVS, and ± 11 °C
for an SSV CVS.
3.3.5.2. If necessary, some form of protection for the volume measuring device may be used e.g. a cyclone separator,
bulk stream filter, etc.
3.3.5.3. A temperature sensor shall be installed immediately before the volume measuring device. This temperature
sensor shall have an accuracy of ± 1 °C and a response time of 1 second or less at 62 per cent of a given
temperature variation (value measured in water or silicone oil).26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/315
3.3.5.4. Measurement of the pressure difference from atmospheric pressure shall be taken upstream from and, if
necessary, downstream from the volume measuring device.
3.3.5.5. The pressure measurements shall have a precision and an accuracy of ± 0,4 kPa during the test. See
Table A5/5.
3.3.6. Recommended system description
Figure A5/3 is a schematic drawing of exhaust dilution systems that meet the requirements of this annex.
The following components are recommended:
(a) A dilution air filter, which may be pre-heated if necessary. This filter shall consist of the following filters
in sequence: an optional activated charcoal filter (inlet side), and a HEPA filter (outlet side). It is
recommended that an additional coarse particle filter be situated before the HEPA filter and after the
charcoal filter, if used. The purpose of the charcoal filter is to reduce and stabilize the hydrocarbon
concentrations of ambient emissions in the dilution air;
(b) A connecting tube by which vehicle exhaust is admitted into a dilution tunnel;
(c) An optional heat exchanger as described in paragraph 3.3.5.1. of this annex;
(d) A mixing device in which exhaust gas and dilution air are mixed homogeneously, and which may be
located close to the vehicle so that the length of the connecting tube is minimized;
(e) A dilution tunnel from which particulate and, if applicable, particles are sampled;
(f) Some form of protection for the measurement system may be used e.g. a cyclone separator, bulk stream
filter, etc.;
(g) A suction device of sufficient capacity to handle the total volume of diluted exhaust gas.
Exact conformity with these figures is not essential. Additional components such as instruments, valves,
solenoids and switches may be used to provide additional information and co-ordinate the functions of the
component system.
Figure A5/3
Exhaust dilution systemL 423/316 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
3.3.6.1. Positive displacement pump (PDP)
A positive displacement pump (PDP) full flow exhaust dilution system satisfies the requirements of this
annex by metering the flow of gas through the pump at constant temperature and pressure. The total
volume is measured by counting the revolutions made by the calibrated positive displacement pump. The
proportional sample is achieved by sampling with pump, flow meter and flow control valve at a constant
flow rate.
3.3.6.2. Critical flow venturi (CFV)
3.3.6.2.1. The use of a CFV for the full flow exhaust dilution system is based on the principles of flow mechanics for
critical flow. The variable mixture flow rate of dilution and exhaust gas is maintained at sonic velocity that
is directly proportional to the square root of the gas temperature. Flow is continually monitored, computed
and integrated throughout the test.
3.3.6.2.2. The use of an additional critical flow sampling venturi ensures the proportionality of the gas samples taken
from the dilution tunnel. As both pressure and temperature are equal at the two venturi inlets, the volume of
the gas flow diverted for sampling is proportional to the total volume of diluted exhaust gas mixture
produced, and thus the requirements of this annex are fulfilled.
3.3.6.2.3. A measuring CFV tube shall measure the flow volume of the diluted exhaust gas.
3.3.6.3. Subsonic flow venturi (SSV)
3.3.6.3.1. The use of an SSV (Figure A5/4) for a full flow exhaust dilution system is based on the principles of flow
mechanics. The variable mixture flow rate of dilution and exhaust gas is maintained at a subsonic velocity
that is calculated from the physical dimensions of the subsonic venturi and measurement of the absolute
temperature (T) and pressure (P) at the venturi inlet and the pressure in the throat of the venturi. Flow is
continually monitored, computed and integrated throughout the test.
3.3.6.3.2. An SSV shall measure the flow volume of the diluted exhaust gas.
Figure A5/4
Schematic of a subsonic venturi tube (SSV)
3.3.6.4. Ultrasonic flow meter (UFM)
3.3.6.4.1. A UFM measures the velocity of the diluted exhaust gas in the CVS piping using the principle of ultrasonic
flow detection by means of a pair, or multiple pairs, of ultrasonic transmitters/receivers mounted within the
pipe as in Figure A5/5. The velocity of the flowing gas is determined by the difference in the time required
for the ultrasonic signal to travel from transmitter to receiver in the upstream direction and the
downstream direction. The gas velocity is converted to standard volumetric flow using a calibration factor
for the tube diameter with real time corrections for the diluted exhaust temperature and absolute pressure.26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/317
3.3.6.4.2. Components of the system include:
(a) A suction device fitted with speed control, flow valve or other method for setting the CVS flow rate and
also for maintaining constant volumetric flow at standard conditions;
(b) A UFM;
(c) Temperature and pressure measurement devices, T and P, required for flow correction;
(d) An optional heat exchanger for controlling the temperature of the diluted exhaust to the UFM. If
installed, the heat exchanger shall be capable of controlling the temperature of the diluted exhaust to
that specified in paragraph 3.3.5.1. of this annex. Throughout the test, the temperature of the
air/exhaust gas mixture measured at a point immediately upstream of the suction device shall be within
± 6 °C of the arithmetic average operating temperature during the test.
Figure A5/5
Schematic of an ultrasonic flow meter (UFM)
3.3.6.4.3. The following conditions shall apply to the design and use of the UFM type CVS:
(a) The velocity of the diluted exhaust gas shall provide a Reynolds number higher than 4 000in order to
maintain a consistent turbulent flow before the ultrasonic flow meter;
(b) An ultrasonic flow meter shall be installed in a pipe of constant diameter with a length of 10 times the
internal diameter upstream and 5 times the diameter downstream;
(c) A temperature sensor (T) for the diluted exhaust shall be installed immediately before the ultrasonic flow
meter. This sensor shall have an accuracy of ± 1 °C and a response time of 0,1 seconds at 62 per cent of a
given temperature variation (value measured in silicone oil);
(d) The absolute pressure (P) of the diluted exhaust shall be measured immediately before the ultrasonic
flow meter to within ± 0,3 kPa;
(e) If a heat exchanger is not installed upstream of the ultrasonic flow meter, the flow rate of the diluted
exhaust, corrected to standard conditions, shall be maintained at a constant level during the test. This
may be achieved by control of the suction device, flow valve or other method.
3.4. CVS calibration procedure
3.4.1. General requirements
3.4.1.1. The CVS system shall be calibrated by using an accurate flow meter and a restricting device and at the
intervals listed in Table A5/4. The flow through the system shall be measured at various pressure readings
and the control parameters of the system measured and related to the flows. The flow metering device (e.g.
calibrated venturi, laminar flow element (LFE), calibrated turbine meter) shall be dynamic and suitable for
the high flow rate encountered in constant volume sampler testing. The device shall be of certified accuracy.
3.4.1.2. The following paragraphs describe methods for calibrating PDP, CFV, SSV and UFM units using a laminar
flow meter, which gives the required accuracy, along with a statistical check on the calibration validity.L 423/318 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
3.4.2. Calibration of a positive displacement pump (PDP)
3.4.2.1. The following calibration procedure outlines the equipment, the test configuration and the various
parameters that are measured to establish the flow rate of the CVS pump. All the parameters related to the
pump are simultaneously measured with the parameters related to the flow meter that is connected in
series with the pump. The calculated flow rate (given in m3/min at pump inlet for the measured absolute
pressure and temperature) shall be subsequently plotted versus a correlation function that includes the
relevant pump parameters. The linear equation that relates the pump flow and the correlation function
shall be subsequently determined. In the case that a CVS has a multiple speed drive, a calibration for each
range used shall be performed.
3.4.2.2. This calibration procedure is based on the measurement of the absolute values of the pump and flow meter
parameters relating the flow rate at each point. The following conditions shall be maintained to ensure the
accuracy and integrity of the calibration curve:
3.4.2.2.1. The pump pressures shall be measured at tappings on the pump rather than at the external piping on the
pump inlet and outlet. Pressure taps that are mounted at the top centre and bottom centre of the pump
drive head plate are exposed to the actual pump cavity pressures, and therefore reflect the absolute pressure
differentials.
3.4.2.2.2. Temperature stability shall be maintained during the calibration. The laminar flow meter is sensitive to inlet
temperature oscillations that cause data points to be scattered. Gradual changes of ± 1 °C in temperature are
acceptable as long as they occur over a period of several minutes.
3.4.2.2.3. All connections between the flow meter and the CVS pump shall be free of leakage.
3.4.2.3. During an exhaust emissions test, the measured pump parameters shall be used to calculate the flow rate
from the calibration equation.
3.4.2.4. Figure A5/6 of this annex shows an example of a calibration set-up. Variations are permissible, provided that
the responsible authority approves them as being of comparable accuracy. If the set-up shown in
Figure A5/6 is used, the following data shall be found within the limits of accuracy given:

3.4.2.5. After the system has been connected as shown in Figure A5/6, the variable restrictor shall be set in the wide-
open position and the CVS pump shall run for 20 minutes before starting the calibration.
3.4.2.5.1. The restrictor valve shall be reset to a more restricted condition in increments of pump inlet depression
(about 1 kPa) that will yield a minimum of six data points for the total calibration. The system shall be
allowed to stabilize for 3 minutes before the data acquisition is repeated.
3.4.2.5.2. The air flow rate Q at each test point shall be calculated in standard m3/min from the flow meter data using
s
the manufacturer's prescribed method.

known mass of an emissions gas compound into the system whilst it is being operated under normal test
conditions and subsequently analysing and calculating the emission gas compounds according to the
equations of Annex B7. The CFO method described in paragraph 3.5.1.1.1. of this annex and the
gravimetric method described in paragraph 3.5.1.1.2. of this annex are both known to give sufficient
accuracy.
The maximum permissible deviation between the quantity of gas introduced and the quantity of gas
measured is ± 2 per cent.
3.5.1.1.1. Critical flow orifice (CFO) method

A known mass of pure carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide or propane gas shall be introduced into the CVS
system through the calibrated critical orifice. If the inlet pressure is high enough, the flow rate q which is
restricted by means of the critical flow orifice, is independent of orifice outlet pressure (critical flow). The
CVS system shall be operated as in a normal exhaust emissions test and enough time shall be allowed for
subsequent analysis. The gas collected in the sample bag shall be analysed by the usual equipment (see
paragraph 4.1. of this annex) and the results compared to the concentration of the known gas samples. If
deviations exceed ± 2 per cent, the cause of the malfunction shall be determined and corrected.
3.5.1.1.2. Gravimetric method
The gravimetric method weighs a quantity of pure gas (CO, CO , or C H ).
2 3 8
The weight of a small cylinder filled with either pure carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide or propane shall be
determined with a precision of ± 0,01 g. The CVS system shall operate under normal exhaust emissions test
conditions while the pure gas is injected into the system for a time sufficient for subsequent analysis. The
quantity of pure gas involved shall be determined by means of differential weighing. The gas accumulated in
the bag shall be analysed by means of the equipment normally used for exhaust gas analysis as described in
paragraph 4.1. of this annex. The results shall be subsequently compared to the concentration figures
computed previously. If deviations exceed ± 2 per cent, the cause of the malfunction shall be determined
and corrected.26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/325

Alternative particulate sampling probe configuration
4.2.1.2. General requirements
4.2.1.2.1. The sampling probe for the test gas flow for particulate shall be arranged within the dilution tunnel so that a
representative sample gas flow can be taken from the homogeneous air/exhaust mixture and shall be
upstream of a heat exchanger (if any).
4.2.1.2.2. The particulate sample flow rate shall be proportional to the total mass flow of diluted exhaust gas in the
dilution tunnel to within a tolerance of ± 5 per cent of the particulate sample flow rate. The verification of
the proportionality of the particulate sampling shall be made during the commissioning of the system and
as required by the responsible authority.
4.2.1.2.3. The sampled dilute exhaust gas shall be maintained at a temperature above 20 °C and below 52 °C within
20 cm upstream or downstream of the particulate sampling filter face. Heating or insulation of components
of the particulate sampling system to achieve this is permitted.
In the event that the 52 °C limit is exceeded during a test where periodic regeneration event does not occur,
the CVS flow rate shall be increased or double dilution shall be applied (assuming that the CVS flow rate is
already sufficient so as not to cause condensation within the CVS, sample bags or analytical system).
4.2.1.2.4. The particulate sample shall be collected on a single filter mounted within a holder in the sampled dilute
exhaust gas flow.
4.2.1.2.5. All parts of the dilution system and the sampling system from the exhaust pipe up to the filter holder that
are in contact with raw and diluted exhaust gas shall be designed to minimise deposition or alteration of the
particulate. All parts shall be made of electrically conductive materials that do not react with exhaust gas
components, and shall be electrically grounded to prevent electrostatic effects.L 423/330 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
4.2.1.2.6. If it is not possible to compensate for variations in the flow rate, provision shall be made for a heat
exchanger and a temperature control device as specified in paragraphs 3.3.5.1. or 3.3.6.4.2. of this annex,
so as to ensure that the flow rate in the system is constant and the sampling rate accordingly proportional.

response time (t –t ) of 15 seconds or less.
90 10
4.2.1.2.8. The sample flow from the dilution tunnel shall be measured with an accuracy of ± 2,5 per cent of reading or
± 1,5 per cent full scale, whichever is the least.
The accuracy specified above of the sample flow from the CVS tunnel is also applicable where double
dilution is used. Consequently, the measurement and control of the secondary dilution air flow and diluted
exhaust flow rates through the filter shall be of a higher accuracy.
4.2.1.2.9. All data channels required for the measurement of PM shall be logged at a frequency of 1 Hz or faster.
Typically, these would include:
(a) Diluted exhaust temperature at the particulate sampling filter;
(b) Sampling flow rate;
(c) Secondary dilution air flow rate (if secondary dilution is used);

4.2.1.2.10. For double dilution systems, the accuracy of the diluted exhaust transferred from the dilution tunnel V
ep
defined in paragraph 3.3.2. of Annex B7 in the equation is not measured directly but determined by
differential flow measurement.
The accuracy of the flow meters used for the measurement and control of the double diluted exhaust passing
through the particulate sampling filters and for the measurement/control of secondary dilution air shall be
sufficient so that the differential volume V shall meet the accuracy and proportional sampling
ep
requirements specified for single dilution.
The requirement that no condensation of the exhaust gas occur in the CVS dilution tunnel, diluted exhaust
flow rate measurement system, CVS bag collection or analysis systems shall also apply in the case that
double dilution systems are used.

verification as required by the instrument manufacturer.26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/331

monitored against a reference PNC or against at least two other measurement PNCs. If the PNC reports
particle number concentrations within ± 10 per cent of the arithmetic average of the concentrations from
the reference PNC, or a group of two or more PNCs, the PNC shall subsequently be considered stable,
otherwise maintenance of the PNC is required. Where the PNC is monitored against two or more other
measurement PNCs, it is permitted to use a reference vehicle running sequentially in different test cells each
with its own PNC.26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/343

5.7.1.3. Calibration shall be traceable to a national or international standard calibration method by comparing the
response of the PNC under calibration with that of:
(a) A calibrated aerosol electrometer when simultaneously sampling electrostatically classified calibration
particles; or
(b) A second PNC that has been directly calibrated by the method described above.

concentrations spaced as uniformly as possible across the PNC’s measurement range.
5.7.1.3.2. For the requirements of paragraph 5.7.1.3.(b), calibration shall be undertaken using at least six standard
concentrations across the PNC’s measurement range. At least 3 points shall be at concentrations below
1 000 per cm3, the remaining concentrations shall be linearly spaced between 1 000 per cm3 and the
maximum of the PNC’s range in single particle count mode.
5.7.1.3.3. For the requirements of paragraphs 5.7.1.3.(a) and 5.7.1.3.(b), the selected 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. With no calibration factor applied to the PNC
under calibration, measured concentrations shall be within ± 10 per cent of the standard concentration for
each concentration, with the exception of the zero point, otherwise the PNC under calibration shall be
rejected. 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. Linearity of response is calculated as the square of the Pearson product moment correlation

and r2, the linear regression shall be forced through the origin (zero concentration on both instruments).L 423/344 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
5.7.1.4. Calibration shall also include a check, according to the requirements of paragraph 4.3.1.3.4.(h) of this annex,
on the PNC’s detection efficiency with particles of 23 nm electrical mobility diameter. A check of the
counting efficiency with 41 nm particles is not required.
5.7.2. Calibration/validation of the VPR
5.7.2.1. Calibration of the VPR’s particle concentration reduction factors across its full range of dilution settings, at
the instrument’s fixed nominal operating temperatures, shall be required when the unit is new and
following any major maintenance. The periodic validation requirement for the VPR’s particle concentration
reduction factor is limited to a check at a single setting, typical of that used for measurement on particulate
filter-equipped vehicles. The responsible authority shall ensure the existence of a calibration or validation
certificate for the VPR within a 6-month period prior to the emissions test. If the VPR incorporates
temperature monitoring alarms, a 13-month validation interval is permitted.
It is recommended that the VPR is calibrated and validated as a complete unit.
The VPR shall be characterised for particle concentration reduction factor with solid particles of 30, 50
and 100 nm electrical mobility diameter. Particle concentration reduction factors f ðdÞ for particles of
r
30 nm and 50 nm electrical mobility diameters shall be no more than 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. For the purposes of validation, the arithmetic average of the particle concentration reduction
factor shall be within ± 10 per cent of the arithmetic average particle concentration reduction factor f r¯
determined during the primary calibration of the VPR.
5.7.2.2. The test aerosol for these measurements shall be solid particles of 30, 50 and 100 nm electrical mobility
diameter and a minimum concentration of 5 000 particles per cm3 at the VPR inlet. As an option, a
polydisperse aerosol with an electrical mobility median diameter of 50 nm may be used for validation. The
test aerosol shall be thermally stable at the VPR operating temperatures. Particle number concentrations
shall be measured upstream and downstream of the components.
The particle concentration reduction factor for each monodisperse particle size, f ðdÞ, shall be calculated

using the following equation:
N ðdÞ

its minimum dilution setting and manufacturer's recommended operating temperature.
5.7.3. PN measurement system check procedures
On a monthly basis, 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.
5.8. Accuracy of the mixing device
In the case that a gas divider is used to perform the calibrations as defined in paragraph 5.2. of this annex,
the accuracy of the mixing device shall be such that the concentrations of the diluted calibration gases may
be determined to within ± 2 per cent. A calibration curve shall be verified by a mid-span check as described
in paragraph 5.3. of this annex. A calibration gas with a concentration below 50 per cent of the analyser
range shall be within 2 per cent of its certified concentration.

ANNEX B6
Type 1 test procedures and test conditions
1. DESCRIPTION OF TESTS
1.1. The Type 1 test is used to verify the emissions of gaseous compounds, particulate matter, particle number (if
PN measurement is required), CO mass emission, fuel consumption, electric energy consumption and
2
electric ranges over the applicable WLTP test cycle and OBFCM accuracy (where applicable).
1.1.1. The tests shall be carried out according to the method described in paragraph 2. of this annex or paragraph 3.
of Annex B8 for pure electric, hybrid electric and compressed hydrogen fuel cell hybrid vehicles. Exhaust
gases, particulate matter and particle number (if PN measurement is required) shall be sampled and analysed
by the prescribed methods.
1.1.2. When the reference fuel to be used is LPG or NG/biomethane, the following provisions shall apply
additionally.
1.1.2.1. Exhaust emissions approval of a parent vehicle
1.1.2.1.1. The parent vehicle should demonstrate its capability to adapt to any fuel composition that may occur across
the market. In the case of LPG there are variations in C3/C4 composition. In the case of NG/biomethane there
are generally two types of fuel, high calorific fuel (H-gas) and low calorific fuel (Lgas), but with a significant
spread within both ranges; they differ significantly in Wobbe index. These variations are reflected in the
reference fuels.
1.1.2.1.2. In the case of vehicles fuelled by LPG, NG/biomethane, the parent vehicle(s) shall be tested in the Type 1 test on
the two extreme reference fuels of Annex B3. In the case of NG/biomethane, if the transition from one fuel to
another is in practice aided through the use of a switch, this switch shall not be used during type approval. In
such a case on the manufacturer's request and with the agreement of the approval authority the pre-
conditioning cycle referred in paragraph 2.6. of this annex may be extended.
1.1.2.1.3. The vehicle is considered to conform if, under the tests and reference fuels mentioned in paragraph 1.1.2.1.2.
of this annex, the vehicle complies with the emission limits.
1.1.2.1.4. In the case of vehicles fuelled by LPG or NG/biomethane, the ratio of emission results "r" shall be determined
for each pollutant as follows:
Type(s) of fuel Reference fuels Calculation of "r"
LPG and petrol or LPG only Fuel A r¼ B
A
Fuel B
NG/biomethane and petrol or Fuel G G
20 r¼ 25
NG/biomethane only G

1.1.2.2. Exhaust emissions approval of a member of the family:
For the type approval of a mono fuel gas vehicle and bi fuel gas vehicles operating in gas mode, fuelled by LPG
or NG/Biomethane, as a member of the family, a Type 1 test shall be performed with one gas reference fuel.
This reference fuel may be either of the gas reference fuels. The vehicle is considered to comply if the
following requirements are met:L 423/348 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
1.1.2.2.1. The vehicle complies with the definition of a family member as defined in paragraph 6.3.6.3. of this
Regulation;
1.1.2.2.2. If the test fuel is reference fuel A for LPG or G20 for NG/biomethane, the emission result shall be multiplied by
the relevant factor "r" calculated in paragraph 1.1.2.1.4. of this annex if r > 1; if r < 1, no correction is needed;
1.1.2.2.3. If the test fuel is reference fuel B for LPG or G25 for NG/biomethane, the emission result shall be divided by the
relevant factor "r" calculated in paragraph 1.1.2.1.4. of this annex if r < 1; if r > 1, no correction is needed;
1.1.2.2.4. On the manufacturer's request, the Type 1 test may be performed on both reference fuels, so that no
correction is needed;
1.1.2.2.5. The vehicle shall comply with the emission limits valid for the relevant category for both measured and
calculated emissions;
1.1.2.2.6. If repeated tests are made on the same engine the results on reference fuel G , or A, and those on reference
20
fuel G , or B, shall first be averaged; the "r" factor shall then be calculated from these averaged results;
25
1.1.2.2.7. Without prejudice to paragraph 2.6.4.1.2. of this annex, during the Type 1 test it is permissible to use petrol
only or simultaneously with gas when operating in gas mode provided that the energy consumption of gas is
higher than 80 per cent of the total amount of energy consumed during the test. This percentage shall be
calculated in accordance with the method set out in Appendix 3 to this annex.
1.2. The number of tests shall be determined according to the flowchart in Figure A6/1. The limit value is the
maximum allowed value for the respective criteria emission as specified in Table 1 of this Regulation.
1.2.1. The flowchart in Figure A6/1 shall be applicable only to the whole applicable WLTP test cycle and not to single
phases.
1.2.2. The test results shall be the values after the applicable adjustments specified in the post-processing tables in
Annex B7 and Annex B8 are applied.
1.2.3. Determination of total cycle values
1.2.3.1. If during any of the tests a criteria emissions limit is exceeded, the vehicle shall be rejected.
1.2.3.2. Depending on the vehicle type, the manufacturer shall declare as applicable the total cycle values of the CO
2
mass emission, the electric energy consumption, fuel consumption, fuel efficiency, as well as PER and AER
according to Table A6/1.
1.2.3.3. For Level 1A:
The declared value of the electric energy consumption for OVC-HEVs under charge-depleting operating
condition shall not be determined according to Figure A6/1. It shall be taken as the type approval value if the
declared CO value is accepted as the approval value. If that is not the case, the measured value of electric
2
energy consumption shall be taken as the type approval value. Evidence of a correlation between declared
CO mass emission and electric energy consumption shall be submitted to the responsible authority in
2
advance, if applicable.26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/349
For Level 1B
The declared value of the fuel efficiency for OVC-HEVs under charge-depleting operating condition shall not
be determined according to Figure A6/1. It shall be taken as the type approval value if the declared electric
energy consumption value is accepted as the approval value. If that is not the case, the measured value of fuel
efficiency shall be taken as the type approval value. Evidence of a correlation between declared fuel efficiency
and electric energy consumption shall be submitted to the responsible authority in advance, if applicable.
1.2.3.4. If after the first test all criteria in row 1 of the applicable Table A6/2 are fulfilled, all values declared by the
manufacturer shall be accepted as the type approval value. If any one of the criteria in row 1 of the applicable
Table A6/2 is not fulfilled, a second test shall be performed with the same vehicle.
1.2.3.5. After the second test, the arithmetic average results of the two tests shall be calculated. If all criteria in row 2 of
the applicable Table A6/2 are fulfilled by these arithmetic average results, all values declared by the
manufacturer shall be accepted as the type approval value. If any one of the criteria in row 2 of the applicable
Table A6/2 is not fulfilled, a third test shall be performed with the same vehicle.
1.2.3.6. After the third test, the arithmetic average results of the three tests shall be calculated. For all parameters which
fulfil the corresponding criterion in row 3 of the applicable Table A6/2, the declared value shall be taken as the
type approval value. For any parameter which does not fulfil the corresponding criterion in row 3 of the
applicable Table A6/2, the arithmetic average result shall be taken as the type approval value.
1.2.3.7. In the case that any one of the criterion of the applicable Table A6/2 is not fulfilled after the first or second
test, at the request of the manufacturer and with the approval of the responsible authority, the values may be
re-declared as higher values for emissions or consumption, or as lower values for electric ranges, in order to
reduce the required number of tests for type approval.
1.2.3.8. Determination of the acceptance values
1.2.3.8.1. For Level 1A only
Additional to the requirement of paragraph 1.2.3.8.2., the following acceptance values for dCO2 , dCO2 , and
1 2
dCO2 shall be used in relation to the criteria for the number of tests in Table A6/2:
3
dCO2 = 0,990
1
dCO2 = 0,995
2
dCO2 = 1,000

1.2.3.8.2. For Level 1A only:
If the charge depleting Type 1 test for OVC-HEVs consists of two or more applicable WLTP test cycles and the
dCO2x value is below 1,0, the dCO2x value shall be replaced by 1,0.
1.2.3.9. In the case that a test result or an average of test results was taken and confirmed as the type approval value,
this result shall be referred to as the “declared value” for further calculations.L 423/350 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021

2. TYPE 1 TEST
2.1. Overview
2.1.1. The Type 1 test shall consist of prescribed sequences of dynamometer preparation, fuelling, soaking, and
operating conditions.
2.1.2. The Type 1 test shall consist of vehicle operation on a chassis dynamometer on the applicable WLTC for the
interpolation family. A proportional part of the diluted exhaust emissions shall be collected continuously for
subsequent analysis using a constant volume sampler.L 423/354 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
2.1.3. Background concentrations shall be measured for all compounds for which dilute mass emissions
measurements are conducted. For exhaust emissions testing, this requires sampling and analysis of the
dilution air.
2.1.3.1. Background particulate measurement
2.1.3.1.1. Where the manufacturer requests subtraction of either dilution air or dilution tunnel background particulate
mass from emissions measurements, these background levels shall be determined according to the procedures
listed in paragraphs 2.1.3.1.1.1. to 2.1.3.1.1.3. inclusive of this annex.
2.1.3.1.1.1. The maximum permissible background correction shall be a mass on the filter equivalent to 1 mg/km at the
flow rate of the test.
2.1.3.1.1.2. If the background exceeds this level, the default figure of 1 mg/km shall be subtracted.
2.1.3.1.1.3. Where subtraction of the background contribution gives a negative result, the background level shall be
considered to be zero.
2.1.3.1.2. Dilution air background particulate mass level shall be determined by passing filtered dilution air through the
particulate background filter. This shall be drawn from a point immediately downstream of the dilution air
filters. Background levels in μg/m3 shall be determined as a rolling arithmetic average of at least 14
measurements with at least one measurement per week.
2.1.3.1.3. Dilution tunnel background particulate mass level shall be determined by passing filtered dilution air through
the particulate background filter. This shall be drawn from the same point as the particulate matter sample.
Where secondary dilution is used for the test, the secondary dilution system shall be active for the purposes
of background measurement. One measurement may be performed on the day of test, either prior to or after
the test.
2.1.3.2. Background particle number determination (if PN measurement is required)
2.1.3.2.1. Where a manufacturer requests a background correction, these background levels shall be determined as
follows:
2.1.3.2.1.1. The background value may be either calculated or measured. The maximum permissible background
correction shall be related to the maximum allowable leak rate of the particle number measurement system
(0,5 particles per cm3) scaled from the particle concentration reduction factor, PCRF, and the CVS flow rate
used in the actual test;
2.1.3.2.1.2. Either the responsible authority or the manufacturer may request that actual background measurements are
used instead of calculated ones.
2.1.3.2.1.3. Where subtraction of the background contribution gives a negative result, the PN result shall be considered to
be zero.
2.1.3.2.2. The dilution air background particle number level shall be determined by sampling filtered dilution air. This
shall be drawn from a point immediately downstream of the dilution air filters into the PN measurement
system. Background levels in particles per cm3 shall be determined as a rolling arithmetic average of least 14
measurements with at least one measurement per week.
2.1.3.2.3. The dilution tunnel background particle number level shall be determined by sampling filtered dilution air.
This shall be drawn from the same point as the PN sample. Where secondary dilution is used for the test the
secondary dilution system shall be active for the purposes of background measurement. One measurement
may be performed on the day of test, either prior to or after the test using the actual PCRF and the CVS flow
rate utilised during the test.

The test vehicle shall conform in all its components with the production series, or, if the vehicle is different
from the production series (e.g. for worst case testing), a full description shall be recorded. In selecting the test
vehicle, the manufacturer and the responsible authority shall agree which vehicle model is representative for
the interpolation family.
In the case that vehicles within an interpolation family are equipped with different emission control systems
that could have an effect on the emission behaviour, the manufacturer shall either demonstrate to the
responsible authority that the test vehicle(s) selected and its (their) results from the Type 1 test are
representative for the interpolation family, or demonstrate the fulfilment of the criteria emission within the
interpolation family by testing one or more individual vehicles that differ in their emission control systems.
For the measurement of emissions, the road load as determined with test vehicle H shall be applied. In the case
of a road load matrix family, for the measurement of emissions, the road load as calculated for vehicle H
M
according to paragraph 5.1. of Annex B4 shall be applied.
If at the request of the manufacturer the interpolation method is used (see paragraph 3.2.3.2. of Annex B7), an
additional measurement of emissions shall be performed with the road load as determined with test vehicle L.
Tests on vehicles H and L should be performed with the same test vehicle and shall be tested with the shortest
n/v ratio (with a tolerance of ± 1,5 per cent) within the interpolation family. In the case of a road load matrix
family, an additional measurement of emissions shall be performed with the road load as calculated for
vehicle L according to paragraph 5.1. of Annex B4.
ML 423/356 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
Road load coefficients and the test mass of test vehicle L and H may be taken from different road load matrix
families. They may also be taken from different road load families as long as the difference between these road
load families has been demonstrated to and accepted by the responsible authority, and results from either
applying paragraph 6.8. of Annex B4 or tyres taken from different tyre categories, while the requirements in
paragraph 2.3.2. of this annex are maintained.
2.3.2. CO interpolation range
2
2.3.2.1. The interpolation method shall only be used if the difference in CO over the applicable cycle resulting from
2
step 9 in Table A7/1 of Annex B7 between test vehicles L and H is between a minimum of 5 g/km and a
maximum defined in paragraph 2.3.2.2. of this annex.
2.3.2.2. The maximum difference in CO emissions allowed over the applicable cycle resulting from step 9 in
2
Table A7/1 of Annex B7 between test vehicles L and H shall be 20 per cent plus 5 g/km of the CO emissions
2
from vehicle H, but at least 15 g/km and not exceeding 30 g/km. See Figure A6/2.
Figure A6/2
Interpolation range for pure ICE vehicles
This restriction does not apply in relation to the application of a road load matrix family or when the
calculation of the road load of vehicles L and H is based on the default road load.
2.3.2.2.1. The allowed interpolation range defined in paragraph 2.3.2.2. of this annex may be increased by 10 g/km CO
2
(see Figure A6/3) if a vehicle M is tested within that family and the conditions according to paragraph 2.3.2.4.
of this annex are fulfilled. This increase is allowed only once within an interpolation family.26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/357
Figure A6/3
Interpolation range for pure ICE vehicles with vehicle M
2.3.2.3. At the request of the manufacturer and with approval of the responsible authority, the application of the
interpolation method on individual vehicle values within a family may be extended if the maximum
extrapolation of an individual vehicle (Step 10 in Table A7/1 of Annex B7) is not more than 3 g/km above the
CO emission of vehicle H (Step 9 in Table A7/1 of Annex B7) and/or is not more than 3 g/km below the CO
2 2
emission of vehicle L (Step 9 in Table A7/1 of Annex B7). This extrapolation is valid only within the absolute
boundaries of the interpolation range specified in paragraph 2.3.2.2.
For the application of a road load matrix family, or when the calculation of the road load of vehicles L and H is
based on the default road load, extrapolation is not permitted.
2.3.2.4. Vehicle M
Vehicle M is a vehicle within the interpolation family between the vehicles L and H with a cycle energy demand
which is preferably closest to the average of vehicles L and H.
The limits of the selection of vehicle M (see Figure A6/4) are such that neither the difference in CO emission
2
values between vehicles H and M nor the difference in CO emission values between vehicles M and L is
2
greater than the allowed CO range in accordance with paragraph 2.3.2.2. of this annex. The defined road
2
load coefficients and the defined test mass shall be recorded.L 423/358 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021

Limits for the selection of vehicle M
For Level 1A
The linearity of the corrected measured and averaged CO mass emission for vehicle M, M according to
2 CO2,c,6,M
step 6 of Table A7/1 of Annex B7, shall be verified against the linearly interpolated CO mass emission
2
between vehicles L and H over the applicable cycle by using the corrected measured and averaged CO mass
2
emission M of vehicle H and M of vehicle L, according to step 6 of Table A7/1 of Annex B7, for
CO2,c,6,H CO2,c,6,L
the linear CO mass emission interpolation.
2
For Level 1B
An additional averaging of tests using the CO -output of step 4a is necessary (not described in Table A7/1).
2
The linearity of the corrected measured and averaged CO mass emission for vehicle M, M according
2 CO2,c,4a,M
to step 4a of Table A7/1 of Annex B7, shall be verified against the linearly interpolated CO mass emission
2
between vehicles L and H over the applicable cycle by using the corrected measured and averaged CO mass
2
emission M values of vehicle H and M of vehicle L, according to step 4a used in of Table A7/1
CO2,c,4a,H CO2,c,4a,L
of Annex B7, for the linear CO2 mass emission interpolation.
For Level 1A and Level 1B
The linearity criterion for vehicle M (see Figure A6/5) shall be considered fulfilled, if the CO mass emission of
2
the vehicle M over the applicable WLTC minus the CO mass emission derived by interpolation is less than
2
2 g/km or 3 per cent of the interpolated value, whichever value is lower, but at least 1 g/km.
Figure A6/5
Linearity criterion for vehicle M26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/359
If the linearity criterion is fulfilled, the CO values of individual vehicles shall be interpolated between vehicles
2
L and H.
If the linearity criterion is not fulfilled, the interpolation family shall be split into two sub-families for vehicles
with a cycle energy demand between vehicles L and M, and vehicles with a cycle energy demand between
vehicles M and H. In such a case, the final CO mass emissions of vehicle M shall be determined in accordance
2
with the same process as for vehicles L or H. See step 9 in Table A7/1 of Annex B7.
For vehicles with a cycle energy demand between that of vehicles L and M, each parameter of vehicle H
necessary for the application of the interpolation method on individual values shall be substituted by the
corresponding parameter of vehicle M.
For vehicles with a cycle energy demand between that of vehicles M and H, each parameter of vehicle L
necessary for the application of the interpolation method on individual values shall be substituted by the
corresponding parameter of vehicle M.
2.3.3. Run-in

instruction is provided together with the dynamometer operation mode;
(d) The conversion is only applied to the vehicle tested at the chassis dynamometer, the road load
determination procedure shall be applied to the unconverted test vehicle.
2.4.2.5.2. This demonstration of equivalency shall apply to all vehicles in the same road load family. At the request of the
manufacturer, and with approval of the approval authority, this demonstration of equivalency may be
extended to other road load families upon evidence that a vehicle from the worst-case road load family was
selected as the test vehicle.
2.4.2.6. Information on whether the vehicle was tested on a 2WD dynamometer or a 4WD dynamometer and whether
it was tested on a dynamometer in 2WD operation or 4WD operation shall be included in all relevant test
reports. In the case that the vehicle was tested on a 4WD dynamometer, with that dynamometer in 2WD
operation, this information shall also indicate whether or not the wheels on the non-powered wheels were
rotating.
2.4.3. The vehicle’s exhaust system shall not exhibit any leak likely to reduce the quantity of gas collected.
2.4.4. The settings of the powertrain and vehicle controls shall be those prescribed by the manufacturer for series

pressure shall be used for the setting of the dynamometer and for all subsequent testing. The tyre pressure used
shall be recorded.
2.4.6. Reference fuel
The appropriate reference fuel as specified in Annex B3 shall be used for testing.
2.4.7. Test vehicle preparation
2.4.7.1. The vehicle shall be approximately horizontal during the test so as to avoid any abnormal distribution of the
fuel.
2.4.7.2. If necessary, the manufacturer shall provide additional fittings and adapters, as required to accommodate a fuel
drain at the lowest point possible in the tank(s) as installed on the vehicle, and to provide for exhaust sample
collection.26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/363
2.4.7.3. For PM sampling during a test when the regenerating device is in a stabilized loading condition (i.e. the vehicle
is not undergoing a regeneration), it is recommended that the vehicle has completed more than 1/3 of the
mileage between scheduled regenerations or that the periodically regenerating device has undergone
equivalent loading off the vehicle.
2.5. Preliminary testing cycles
Preliminary testing cycles may be carried out if requested by the manufacturer to follow the speed trace within
the prescribed limits.

either petrol or LPG or NG/biomethane, the vehicle shall be preconditioned again before the test on the
second reference fuel.
2.6.2. Test cell
2.6.2.1. Temperature
During preconditioning, the test cell temperature shall be the same as defined for the Type 1 test
(paragraph 2.2.2.1.1. of this annex).
2.6.2.2. Background measurement
In a test facility in which there may be possible contamination of a low particulate emitting vehicle test with
residue from a previous test on a high particulate emitting vehicle, it is recommended, for the purpose of
sampling equipment preconditioning, that a 120 km/h steady state drive cycle of 20 minutes duration be
driven by a low particulate emitting vehicle. Longer and/or higher speed running is permissible for sampling
equipment preconditioning if required. Dilution tunnel background measurements, if applicable, shall be
taken after the tunnel preconditioning, and prior to any subsequent vehicle testing.
2.6.3. Procedure
2.6.3.1. The test vehicle shall be placed, either by being driven or pushed, on a dynamometer and operated through the

or the vehicle displays a start error, the test is void, preconditioning tests shall be repeated and a new test shall
be driven.
2.6.4.1.2. In the cases where LPG or NG/biomethane is used as a fuel, it is permissible that the engine is started on petrol
and switched automatically to LPG or NG/biomethane after a predetermined period of time that cannot be
changed by the driver. This period of time shall not exceed 60 seconds.
It is also permissible to use petrol only or simultaneously with gas when operating in gas mode provided that
the energy consumption of gas is higher than 80 per cent of the total amount of energy consumed during the
Type 1 test. This percentage shall be calculated in accordance with the method set out in Appendix 3 to this
annex.
2.6.4.2. The cycle starts on initiation of the powertrain start procedure.
2.6.4.3. For preconditioning, the applicable WLTC shall be driven.
At the request of the manufacturer or the responsible authority, additional WLTCs may be performed in order
to bring the vehicle and its control systems to a stabilized condition.
The extent of such additional preconditioning shall be included in all relevant test reports.
2.6.4.4. Accelerations
The vehicle shall be operated with the necessary accelerator control movement to accurately follow the speed
trace.
The vehicle shall be operated smoothly following representative shift speeds and procedures.
For manual transmissions, the accelerator control shall be released during each shift and the shift shall be
accomplished in minimum time.
If the vehicle cannot follow the speed trace, it shall be operated at maximum available power until the vehicle
speed reaches the respective target speed again.
2.6.4.5. Deceleration
During decelerations, the driver shall deactivate the accelerator control but shall not manually disengage the
clutch until the point specified in paragraphs 3.3. or 4.(f) of Annex B2.
If the vehicle decelerates faster than prescribed by the speed trace, the accelerator control shall be operated
such that the vehicle accurately follows the speed trace.
If the vehicle decelerates too slowly to follow the intended deceleration, the brakes shall be applied such that it
is possible to accurately follow the speed trace.26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/365
2.6.4.6. Brake application
During stationary/idling vehicle phases, the brakes shall be applied with appropriate force to prevent the drive
wheels from turning.
2.6.5. Use of the transmission
2.6.5.1. Manual shift transmissions

2.6.6.1. Vehicles equipped with a predominant mode shall be tested in that mode. At the request of the manufacturer,
the vehicle may alternatively be tested with the driver-selectable mode in the worst-case position for CO
2
emissions.
The manufacturer shall provide evidence to the responsible authority of the existence of a mode that fulfils the
requirements of paragraph 3.5.9. of this Regulation. With the agreement of the responsible authority, the
predominant mode may be used as the only mode for the determination of criteria emissions, CO emissions,
2
and fuel consumption.
2.6.6.2. If the vehicle has no predominant mode because it has two or more configurable start modes, the worst case
mode for CO emissions and fuel consumption within those configurable start modes shall be tested and may
2
be used as the only mode for the determination of criteria emissions, CO emissions and fuel consumption.
2
2.6.6.3. If the vehicle has no predominant mode or the requested predominant mode is not agreed by the responsible
authority as being a predominant mode, or there are not two or more configurable start modes, the vehicle
shall be tested for criteria emissions, CO emissions, and fuel consumption in the best case mode and worst
2
case mode. Best and worst case modes shall be identified by the evidence provided on the CO emissions and
2
fuel consumption in all modes. CO emissions and fuel consumption shall be the arithmetic average of the
2
test results in both modes. Test results for both modes shall be recorded.
At the request of the manufacturer, the vehicle may alternatively be tested with the driver-selectable mode in
the worst case position for CO emissions.
2
2.6.6.4. On the basis of technical evidence provided by the manufacturer and with the agreement of the responsible
authority, the dedicated driver-selectable modes for very special limited purposes shall not be considered (e.g.
maintenance mode, crawler mode). All remaining modes used for forward driving shall be considered and the
criteria emissions limits shall be fulfilled in all these modes.
2.6.6.5. Paragraphs 2.6.6.1. to 2.6.6.4. inclusive of this annex shall apply to all vehicle systems with driver-selectable
modes, including those not solely specific to the transmission.L 423/366 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
2.6.7. Voiding of the Type 1 test and completion of the cycle
If the engine stops unexpectedly, the preconditioning or Type 1 test shall be declared void.
After completion of the cycle, the engine shall be switched off. The vehicle shall not be restarted until the
beginning of the test for which the vehicle has been preconditioned.
2.6.8. Data required, quality control
2.6.8.1. Speed measurement
During the preconditioning, speed shall be measured against time or collected by the data acquisition system
at a frequency of not less than 1 Hz so that the actual driven speed can be assessed.

The distance actually driven by the vehicle shall be recorded for each WLTC phase.
2.6.8.3. Speed trace tolerances
Vehicles that cannot attain the acceleration and maximum speed values required in the applicable WLTC shall
be operated with the accelerator control fully activated until they once again reach the required speed trace.
Speed trace violations under these circumstances shall not void a test. Deviations from the driving cycle shall
be recorded.

analyser.
2.14.2.5. The samples shall be subsequently analysed.

bags.
2.14.3. Particulate sample filter weighingL 423/372 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
2.14.3.1. The particulate sample filter shall be returned to the weighing chamber (or room) no later than 1 hour after
completion of the test. It shall be conditioned in a petri dish, which is protected against dust contamination
and allows air exchange, for at least 1 hour, and weighed. The gross weight of the filter shall be recorded.
2.14.3.2. At least two unused reference filters shall be weighed within 8 hours of, but preferably at the same time as, the
sample filter weighings. Reference filters shall be of the same size and material as the sample filter.
2.14.3.3. If the specific weight of any reference filter changes by more than ± 5 μg between sample filter weighings, the
sample filter and reference filters shall be reconditioned in the weighing chamber (or room) and reweighed.
2.14.3.4. The comparison of reference filter weighings shall be made between the specific weights and the rolling
arithmetic average of that reference filter's specific weights. The rolling arithmetic average shall be calculated
from the specific weights collected in the period after the reference filters were placed in the weighing
chamber (or room). The averaging period shall be at least one day but not more than 15 days.
2.14.3.5. Multiple reconditionings and reweighings of the sample and reference filters are permitted until a period of
80 hours has elapsed following the measurement of gases from the emissions test. If, prior to or at the
80-hour point, more than half the number of reference filters meet the ± 5 μg criterion, the sample filter
weighing may be considered valid. If, at the 80-hour point, two reference filters are employed and one filter
fails the ± 5 μg criterion, the sample filter weighing may be considered valid under the condition that the sum
of the absolute differences between specific and rolling means from the two reference filters shall be less than
or equal to 10 μg.
2.14.3.6. In the case that less than half of the reference filters meet the ± 5 μg criterion, the sample filter shall be
discarded, and the emissions test repeated. All reference filters shall be discarded and replaced within
48 hours. In all other cases, reference filters shall be replaced at least every 30 days and in such a manner that
no sample filter is weighed without comparison to a reference filter that has been present in the weighing
chamber (or room) for at least one day.
2.14.3.7. If the weighing chamber (or room) stability criteria outlined in paragraph 4.2.2.1. of Annex B5 are not met,
but the reference filter weighings meet the above criteria, the vehicle manufacturer has the option of
accepting the sample filter weights or voiding the tests, repairing the weighing chamber (or room) control
system and re-running the test.26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/373
Appendix 1
Emissions test procedure for all vehicles equipped with periodically regenerating systems
1. GENERAL
1.1. This appendix defines the specific provisions regarding testing a vehicle equipped with periodically regenerating
systems as defined in paragraph 3.8.1. of this Regulation.
1.2. During cycles where regeneration occurs, emission standards need not apply. If a periodic regeneration occurs at
least once per Type 1 test and has already occurred at least once during vehicle preparation or the distance between
two successive periodic regenerations is more than 4 000km of driving repeated Type 1 tests, it does not require a
special test procedure. In this case, this appendix does not apply and a Ki factor of 1,0 shall be used.
1.3. The provisions of this appendix shall not apply to PN emissions.
1.4. At the request of the manufacturer, and with approval of the responsible authority, the test procedure specific to
periodically regenerating systems need not apply to a regenerative device if the manufacturer provides data
demonstrating that, during cycles where regeneration occurs, emissions remain below the emissions limits specified
in paragraph 6.3.10. of this Regulation for the relevant vehicle category. In this case, a fixed Ki value of 1,05 shall be
used for CO and fuel consumption.
2
2. TEST PROCEDURE
The test vehicle shall be capable of inhibiting or permitting the regeneration process provided that this operation
has no effect on original engine calibrations. Prevention of regeneration is only permitted during loading of the
regeneration system and during the preconditioning cycles. It is not permitted during the measurement of
emissions during the regeneration phase. The emission test shall be carried out with the unchanged, original
equipment manufacturer's (OEM) control unit. At the request of the manufacturer and with agreement of the
responsible authority, an "engineering control unit" which has no effect on original engine calibrations may be used
during K determination.
i
2.1. Exhaust emissions measurement between two WLTCs with regeneration events
2.1.1. The arithmetic average emissions between regeneration events and during loading of the regenerative device shall be
determined from the arithmetic mean of several approximately equidistant (if more than two) Type 1 tests. As an
alternative, the manufacturer may provide data to show that the emissions remain constant (± 15 per cent) on
WLTCs between regeneration events. In this case, the emissions measured during the Type 1 test may be used. In
any other case, emissions measurements for at least two Type 1 cycles shall be completed: one immediately after
regeneration (before new loading) and one as close as possible prior to a regeneration phase. All emissions
measurements shall be carried out according to this annex and all calculations shall be carried out according to
paragraph 3. of this appendix.
2.1.2. The loading process and K determination shall be made during the Type 1 driving cycle on a chassis dynamometer
i
or on an engine test bench using an equivalent test cycle. These cycles may be run continuously (i.e. without the
need to switch the engine off between cycles). After any number of completed cycles, the vehicle may be removed
from the chassis dynamometer and the test continued at a later time.
For Class 2 and Class 3 vehicles, at the request of the manufacturer and with the agreement of the responsible
authority the K can be determined either with or without the Extra High phase.
i
Upon request of the manufacturer and with approval of the responsible authority, a manufacturer may develop an
alternative procedure and demonstrate its equivalency, including filter temperature, loading quantity and distance
driven. This may be done on an engine bench or on a chassis dynamometer.L 423/374 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
2.1.3. The number of cycles D between two WLTCs where regeneration events occur, the number of cycles over which
emission measurements are made n and the mass emissions measurement M0 for each compound i over each
sij
cycle j shall be recorded.
2.2. Measurement of emissions during regeneration events
2.2.1. Preparation of the vehicle, if required, for the emissions test during a regeneration phase, may be completed using
the preconditioning cycles in paragraph 2.6. of this annex or equivalent engine test bench cycles, depending on the
loading procedure chosen in paragraph 2.1.2. of this appendix.
2.2.2. The test and vehicle conditions for the Type 1 test described in this Regulation apply before the first valid emission
test is carried out.
2.2.3. Regeneration shall not occur during the preparation of the vehicle. This may be ensured by one of the following
methods:
(a) A "dummy" regenerating system or partial system may be fitted for the preconditioning cycles;
(b) Any other method agreed between the manufacturer and the responsible authority.
2.2.4. A cold start exhaust emissions test including a regeneration process shall be performed according to the applicable
WLTC.
2.2.5. If the regeneration process requires more than one WLTC, each WLTC shall be completed. Use of a single particulate
sample filter for multiple cycles required to complete regeneration is permissible.
If more than one WLTC is required, subsequent WLTC(s) shall be driven immediately, without switching the engine
off, until complete regeneration has been achieved. In the case that the number of gaseous emission bags required
for the multiple cycles would exceed the number of bags available, the time necessary to set up a new test shall be
as short as possible. The engine shall not be switched off during this period.
2.2.6. The emission values during regeneration M for each compound i shall be calculated according to paragraph 3. of
ri
this appendix. The number of applicable test cycles d measured for complete regeneration shall be recorded.

ANNEX C3
Type 4 test
Determination of evaporative emissions from vehicles with engines fuelled with petrol
Type 4 test procedures and test conditions
1. INTRODUCTION
This annex provides the method to determine the levels of evaporative emission from light-duty vehicles in a
repeatable and reproducible manner designed to be representative of real world vehicle operation.
2. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
2.1. The procedure includes the evaporative emissions test and two additional tests, one for the ageing of carbon
canisters, as described in paragraph 5.1. of this annex, and one for the permeability of the fuel tank system, as
described in paragraph 5.2. of this annex. The evaporative emissions test (Figure C3/4) determines
hydrocarbon evaporative emissions as a consequence of diurnal temperature fluctuations and hot soaks
during parking.
2.2. In the case that the fuel system contains more than one carbon canister, all references to the term "carbon
canister" in this annex will apply to each carbon canister.
3. VEHICLE
The vehicle shall be in good mechanical condition and have been run-in and driven at least 3 000km before
the test. For the purpose of the determination of evaporative emissions, the mileage and the age of the vehicle
used for certification shall be recorded. The evaporative emission control system shall be connected and
functioning correctly during the run-in period. The aged carbon canister shall not be installed during the
run-in period.
A carbon canister aged according to the procedure described in paragraphs 5.1. to 5.1.3.1.3. inclusive of this
annex shall not be installed until the start of the fuel drain and refill procedure specified in paragraph 6.5.1.
of this annex.
4. TEST EQUIPMENT, CALIBRATION REQUIREMENTS AND INTERVALS
Unless stated otherwise in this paragraph, equipment used for testing shall be calibrated before its initial use
and at appropriate service intervals thereafter. An appropriate service interval shall be either equipment
manufacturer recommendation or according to good engineering practice.
4.1. Chassis dynamometer
The chassis dynamometer shall meet the requirements of paragraphs 2. to 2.4.2. inclusive of Annex B5.
4.2. Evaporative emission measurement enclosure
The evaporative emission measurement enclosure shall be a gas-tight rectangular measuring chamber able to
contain the vehicle under test. The vehicle shall be accessible from all sides and the enclosure when sealed
shall be gas-tight in accordance with paragraph 4.2.3.3. of this annex. The inner surface of the enclosure shall
be impermeable and non-reactive to hydrocarbons. The temperature conditioning system shall be capable of
controlling the internal enclosure air temperature to follow the prescribed temperature versus time profile
throughout the test, and an average tolerance of 1 °C over the duration of the test.
The control system shall be tuned to provide a smooth temperature pattern that has a minimum of overshoot,
hunting, and instability about the desired long-term ambient temperature profile. Interior surface
temperatures shall not be less than 5 °C nor more than 55 °C at any time during the diurnal emission test.26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/545
Wall design shall be such as to promote good dissipation of heat. Interior surface temperatures shall not be
below 20 °C, nor above 52 °C for the duration of the hot soak rest.
To accommodate the volume changes due to enclosure temperature changes, either a variable-volume or fixed-
volume enclosure may be used.
4.2.1. Variable-volume enclosure
The variable-volume enclosure expands and contracts in response to the temperature change of the air mass in
the enclosure. Two potential means of accommodating the internal volume changes are movable panel(s), or a
bellows design, in which an impermeable bag or bags inside the enclosure expand(s) and contracts(s) in
response to internal pressure changes by exchanging air from outside the enclosure. Any design for volume
accommodation shall maintain the integrity of the enclosure as specified in paragraph 4.2.3. of this annex
over the specified temperature range.
Any method of volume accommodation shall limit the differential between the enclosure internal pressure and
the barometric pressure to a maximum value of ± 0,5 kPa.
The enclosure shall be capable of latching to a fixed volume. A variable volume enclosure shall be capable of
accommodating a +7 per cent change from its "nominal volume" (see paragraph 4.2.3.1.1. of this annex),
taking into account temperature and barometric pressure variation during testing.
4.2.2. Fixed-volume enclosure
The fixed-volume enclosure shall be constructed with rigid panels that maintain a fixed enclosure volume, and
meet the requirements below.
4.2.2.1. The enclosure shall be equipped with an outlet flow stream that withdraws air at a low, constant rate from the
enclosure throughout the test. An inlet flow stream may provide make-up air to balance the outgoing flow
with incoming ambient air. Inlet air shall be filtered with activated carbon to provide a relatively constant
hydrocarbon level. Any method of volume accommodation shall maintain the differential between the
enclosure internal pressure and the barometric pressure between 0 and – 0,5 kPa.
4.2.2.2. The equipment shall be capable of measuring the mass of hydrocarbon in the inlet and outlet flow streams
with a resolution of 0,01 gram. A bag sampling system may be used to collect a proportional sample of the
air withdrawn from and admitted to the enclosure. Alternatively, the inlet and outlet flow streams may be
continuously analysed using an on-line FID analyser and integrated with the flow measurements to provide a
continuous record of the mass hydrocarbon removal.
4.2.3. Calibration of the enclosure
4.2.3.1. Initial determination of internal volume of the enclosure
4.2.3.1.1. Before its initial use, the internal volume of the chamber shall be determined as follows:
The internal dimensions of the chamber are carefully measured, allowing for any irregularities such as bracing
struts. The internal volume of the chamber is determined from these measurements.
For variable-volume enclosures, the enclosure shall be latched to a fixed volume when the enclosure is held at
an ambient temperature of 30 °C or at the choice of the manufacturer 29 °C. This nominal volume shall be
repeatable within ± 0,5 per cent of the reported value.
4.2.3.1.2. The net internal volume is determined by subtracting 1,42 m3 from the internal volume of the chamber.
Alternatively the volume of the test vehicle with the luggage compartment and windows open may be used
instead of the 1,42 m3.L 423/546 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
4.2.3.1.3. The chamber shall be checked as in paragraph 4.2.3.3. of this annex. If the propane mass does not correspond
to the injected mass to within ± 2 per cent, then corrective action is required.
4.2.3.2. Determination of chamber background emissions
This operation determines that the chamber does not contain any materials that emit significant amounts of
hydrocarbons. The check shall be carried out at the enclosure's introduction to service, after any operations in
the enclosure which may affect background emissions and at a frequency of at least once per year.
4.2.3.2.1. Variable-volume enclosures may be operated in either latched or unlatched volume configuration, as described
in paragraph 4.2.3.1.1. of this annex, ambient temperatures shall be maintained at 35 °C ± 2 °C, or at the
choice of the manufacturer 36 °C ± 2 °C, throughout the 4-hour period mentioned below.
4.2.3.2.2. Fixed volume enclosures shall be operated with the inlet and outlet flow streams closed. Ambient
temperatures shall be maintained at 35 °C ± 2 °C, or at the choice of the manufacturer 36 °C ± 2 °C,
throughout the 4-hour period mentioned below.
4.2.3.2.3. The enclosure may be sealed and the mixing fan operated for a period of up to 12 hours before the 4-hour
background sampling period begins.
4.2.3.2.4. The analyser (if required) shall be calibrated, then zeroed and spanned.
4.2.3.2.5. The enclosure shall be purged until a stable hydrocarbon reading is obtained, and the mixing fan turned on if
not already on.
4.2.3.2.6. The chamber is then sealed and the background hydrocarbon concentration, temperature and barometric
pressure are measured. These are the initial readings C , P, T used in the enclosure background calculation.
HCi i i
4.2.3.2.7. The enclosure is allowed to stand undisturbed with the mixing fan on for a period of four hours.
4.2.3.2.8. At the end of this time the same analyser is used to measure the hydrocarbon concentration in the chamber.
The temperature and the barometric pressure are also measured. These are the final readings C , P, T
HCf f f.
4.2.3.2.9. The change in mass of hydrocarbons in the enclosure shall be calculated over the time of the test in accordance
with paragraph 4.2.3.4. of this annex and shall not exceed 0,05 g.
4.2.3.3. Calibration and hydrocarbon retention test of the chamber
The calibration and hydrocarbon retention test in the chamber provides a check on the calculated volume in
paragraph 4.2.3.1. of this annex and also measures any leak rate. The enclosure leak rate shall be determined
at the enclosure's introduction to service, after any operations in the enclosure which may affect the integrity
of the enclosure, and at least monthly thereafter. If six consecutive monthly retention checks are successfully
completed without corrective action, the enclosure leak rate may be determined quarterly thereafter as long
as no corrective action is required.
4.2.3.3.1. The enclosure shall be purged until a stable hydrocarbon concentration is reached. The mixing fan is turned
on, if not already switched on. The hydrocarbon analyser is zeroed, calibrated if required, and spanned.
4.2.3.3.2. On variable-volume enclosures, the enclosure shall be latched to the nominal volume position. On fixed-
volume enclosures the outlet and inlet flow streams shall be closed.26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/547
4.2.3.3.3. The ambient temperature control system is then turned on (if not already on) and adjusted for an initial
temperature of 35 °C, or at the choice of the manufacturer 36 °C.
4.2.3.3.4. When the enclosure stabilises at 35 °C ± 2 °C, or at the choice of the manufacturer 36 °C ± 2 °C, the enclosure
is sealed and the background concentration, temperature and barometric pressure measured. These are the
initial readings C , P, T used in the enclosure calibration.
HCi i i
4.2.3.3.5. A quantity of approximately 4 grams of propane is injected into the enclosure. The mass of propane shall be
measured to an accuracy and precision of ± 2 per cent of the measured value.
4.2.3.3.6. The contents of the chamber shall be allowed to mix for five minutes and then the hydrocarbon concentration,
temperature and barometric pressure are measured. These are the readings C , P, T for the calibration of the
HCf f f
enclosure as well as the initial readings C , P, T for the retention check.
HCi i i
4.2.3.3.7. Based on the readings taken according to paragraph 4.2.3.3.4. and 4.2.3.3.6. of this annex and the formula in
paragraph 4.2.3.4. of this annex, the mass of propane in the enclosure is calculated. This shall be within ± 2
per cent of the mass of propane measured in paragraph 4.2.3.3.5. of this annex.
4.2.3.3.8. For variable-volume enclosures the enclosure shall be unlatched from the nominal volume configuration. For
fixed-volume enclosures, the outlet and inlet flow streams shall be opened.
4.2.3.3.9. The process is then begun of cycling the ambient temperature from 35 °C to 20 °C and back to 35 °C, or at the
choice of the manufacturer 35,6 °C to 22,2 °C and back to 35,6 °C, over a 24-hour period according to the
profile, or the alternative profile, specified in paragraph 6.5.9. of this annex within 15 minutes of sealing the
enclosure. (Tolerances as specified in paragraph 6.5.9.1. of this annex.)
4.2.3.3.10. At the completion of the 24-hour cycling period, the final hydrocarbon concentration, temperature and
barometric pressure are measured and recorded. These are the final readings C , P, T for the hydrocarbon
HCf f f
retention check.
4.2.3.3.11. Using the formula in paragraph 4.2.3.4. of this annex, the hydrocarbon mass is then calculated from the
readings taken in paragraphs 4.2.3.3.6. and 4.2.3.3.10. of this annex. The mass may not differ by more than
3 per cent from the hydrocarbon mass given in paragraph 4.2.3.3.7. of this annex.
4.2.3.4. Calculations
The calculation of net hydrocarbon mass change within the enclosure is used to determine the chamber's
hydrocarbon background and leak rate. Initial and final readings of hydrocarbon concentration, temperature
and barometric pressure are used to calculate the mass change.
The calculation shall be undertaken in accordance with the equation in either paragraph 7.1. or alternatively
paragraph 7.1.1. of this annex, using the following value for V.
V is the net enclosure volume, m3.

venting emissions being counted as permeation. The HC emissions shall be measured and the value shall be
recorded as HC .
3W
5.2.3. The rig with the fuel tank system shall be placed again in a room with a controlled temperature of 40 °C ± 2 °C
for the remaining 17 weeks.
5.2.4. At the end of the seventeenth week, the tank shall be drained and refilled with reference fuel at a temperature
of 18 °C ± 2 °C to 40 ± 2 per cent of its nominal tank capacity.L 423/554 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
Within 6 to 36 hours, the rig with the fuel tank system shall be placed in an enclosure. The last 6 hours of this
period shall be at an ambient temperature of 20 °C ± 2 °C. In the enclosure, a diurnal procedure shall be
performed over a first period of 24 hours of the procedure described according to paragraph 6.5.9. of this

5.2.6. If the PF is determined by a supplier, the vehicle manufacturer shall inform the responsible authority in
advance of the determination to allow witness check in the supplier’s facility.
5.2.7. The manufacturer shall provide the responsible authority with a test report containing at least the following:
(a) A full description of the fuel tank system tested, including information on the type of tank tested, whether
the tank is metal, monolayer non-metal or multilayer, and which types of materials are used for the tank
and other parts of the fuel tank system;
(b) The weekly mean temperatures at which the ageing was performed;
(c) The HC measured at week 3 (HC );

6.1. Vehicle preparation
The vehicle shall be prepared in accordance with paragraphs 6.1.1. and 6.1.2. of this annex. At the request of
the manufacturer and with approval of the responsible authority, non-fuel background emission sources (e.g.
paint, adhesives, plastics, fuel/vapour lines, tyres, and other rubber or polymer components) may be reduced
to typical vehicle background levels before testing (e.g. baking of tyres at temperatures of 50 °C or higher for
appropriate periods, baking of the vehicle, draining washer fluid).
For a sealed fuel tank system, the vehicle carbon canisters shall be installed so that access to carbon canisters
and connection/disconnection of carbon canisters can be done easily.
6.1.1. The vehicle shall be mechanically prepared before the test as follows:
(a) The exhaust system of the vehicle shall not exhibit any leaks;
(b) The vehicle may be steam-cleaned before the test;

paragraph 6.6.1.8.1. or the result of the SHED measurement when testing according to paragraph 6.6.1.8.2.,
within the tolerance of ± 0,5 gram.
6.6.1.9. Soak
After completing puff loss loading the vehicle carbon canister shall be replaced with a dummy carbon canister
(of the same specification as the original but not necessarily aged), the vehicle shall then be soaked at 23 ± 2 °C
for 6 to 36 hours to stabilise the vehicle temperature.
6.6.1.9.1. REESS charge
For OVC-HEVs, the REESS shall be fully charged in accordance with the charging requirements described in
paragraph 2.2.3. of Appendix 4 to Annex B8 during the soaking described in paragraph 6.6.1.9. of this annex.
6.6.1.10. Fuel drain and refill
The fuel tank of the vehicle shall be drained and filled up to 40 ± 2 per cent of the tank's nominal capacity with
reference fuel at a temperature of 18 °C ± 2 °C.

area at 20 °C ± 2 °C to stabilise the fuel temperature.L 423/564 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
6.6.1.12. Fuel tank depressurisation
The tank pressure shall be subsequently released so as not to abnormally raise the inside pressure of the fuel
tank. This may be done by opening the fuel cap of the vehicle. Regardless of the method of depressurisation,
the vehicle shall be returned to its original condition within 1 minute. After this action, the vehicle carbon
canister shall be connected again.
6.6.1.13. The procedures in paragraphs 6.5.6. to 6.5.9.8. inclusive of this annex shall be followed.
6.6.2. In the case that the fuel tank relief pressure is lower than 30 kPa
The test shall be performed as described in paragraphs 6.6.1.1. to 6.6.1.13. inclusive of this annex. However,
in this case, the ambient temperature described in paragraph 6.5.9.1. of this annex shall be replaced by the

of this annex and shall be loaded and purged according to paragraph 6.6.1.5. of this annex.
6.7.2.1.3. The aged carbon canister shall subsequently be loaded according to the procedure described in
paragraph 6.5.5.4. However, instead of loading to breakthrough as described in paragraph 6.5.5.4.4., the
total loading mass shall be determined in accordance with paragraph 6.7.1.1. of this annex. At the request of
the manufacturer, the reference fuel may alternatively be used instead of butane. The carbon canister shall be

ANNEX C4
Type 5 test
(Description of the endurance test for verifying the durability of pollution control devices)
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. This annex describes the test for verifying the durability of anti-pollution devices equipping vehicles with positive
ignition or compression-ignition engines.
For Level 1A;
The durability requirements shall be demonstrated using one of the three options set out in paragraphs 1.2., 1.3.
and 1.4. below.
For Level 1B;
The durability requirements shall be demonstrated using one of the two options set out in paragraphs 1.2. and 1.4.
below.
1.2. The whole vehicle durability test shall preferably be performed on a vehicle with the cycle energy demand of the
VH (as defined in paragraph 4.2.1.1.2. of Annex B4) with the highest cycle energy demand of all of the
Interpolation Families to be included in the durability family and shall be driven on a test track, on the road, or
on a chassis dynamometer. The cycle energy demand of the test vehicle may be further increased to cover future
extensions.
1.3. This paragraph applies to Level 1A only;
The manufacturer may choose to use a bench ageing durability test. The technical requirements for this test are set
out in paragraph 2.2. of this annex.
1.4. As an alternative to durability testing, where applicable a manufacturer may choose to apply the assigned
deterioration factors from Table 3A and Table 3B (as applicable) in paragraph 6.7.2. of this Regulation.
1.5. This paragraph is applicable for Level 1A only
At the request of the manufacturer, the Technical Service may carry out the Type 1 test before the whole vehicle or
bench ageing durability test has been completed using the assigned deterioration factors in Table 3A in
paragraph 6.7.2. of this Regulation. On completion of the whole vehicle or bench ageing durability test, the
Technical Service may then amend the type approval results recorded in Annex A2 to this Regulation by
replacing the assigned deterioration factors in the above table with those measured in the whole vehicle or bench
ageing durability test.
1.6. Deterioration factors are determined using either the procedures set out in paragraphs 1.2. and, where applicable,
paragraph 1.3. of this annex, or using the assigned values in the table referred in paragraph 1.4. of this annex. The
deterioration factors are used to establish compliance with the requirements of the appropriate emissions limits
set out in paragraph 6.3.10. of this Regulation during the target useful life of the vehicle.
1.7. This paragraph is applicable for Level 1B only
Notwithstanding the requirement of this annex, in the case that the vehicle that reached mileage of target useful
life by pattern A or pattern B described in Appendix 3b to this annex is provided to the type approval authority
and the result of Type 1 test with the vehicle fulfil the criteria of Table 1B described in paragraph 6.3.10. of this
Regulation, the durability requirement is regarded to be satisfied.26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/569
2. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
2.1. As the operating cycle for the whole vehicle durability test, the vehicle manufacturer shall use the Standard Road
Cycle (SRC) described in Appendix 3 to this annex. This test cycle shall be conducted until the vehicle has covered
its target useful life.
For Level 1B only:
As the operating cycle for the whole vehicle durability test, the vehicle manufacturer shall choose one of the
driving cycles described in Appendix 3b to this annex.
2.2. Bench ageing durability test
This paragraph applies to Level 1A only
2.2.1. For the execution of the bench ageing durability tests the vehicle used for the catalyst and/or particle filter
temperature measurements shall be VH.
The fuel to be used during the test shall be the one specified in paragraph 4. of this annex.
2.3. This paragraph applies to Level 1A only
The bench ageing durability test to be used shall be the one appropriate to the type of engine, as detailed in
paragraphs 2.3.1. and 2.3.2. of this annex.
2.3.1. Vehicles with positive ignition engines
2.3.1.1. The bench ageing procedure requires the installation of the whole exhaust after-treatment system on an ageing
bench.
Ageing on the bench shall be conducted by following the Standard Bench Cycle (SBC) for the period of time
calculated from the Bench Ageing Time (BAT) equation. The BAT equation requires, as input, catalyst time-at-
temperature data measured on the SRC, as described in paragraph 2.3.1.3.
2.3.1.2. SBC. Standard catalyst bench ageing shall be conducted following the SBC. The SBC shall be run for the period of
time calculated from the BAT equation. The SBC is described in Appendix 1 to this annex.
2.3.1.3. Catalyst time-at-temperature data. Catalyst temperature shall be measured during at least two full cycles of the SRC
cycle as described in Appendix 3 to this annex.
Catalyst temperature shall be measured at the highest temperature location in the hottest catalyst on the test
vehicle. Alternatively, the temperature may be measured at another location providing that it is adjusted to
represent the temperature measured at the hottest location using good engineering judgement.
Catalyst temperature shall be measured at a minimum rate of one hertz (one measurement per second).
The measured catalyst temperature results shall be tabulated into a histogram with temperature groups of no
larger than 25 °C.
2.3.1.4. The Bench Ageing Time (BAT) shall be calculated using the BAT equation as follows:
te for a temperature bin = th e((R/Tr)-(R/Tv))
Total te = Sum of te over all the temperature groups
Bench Ageing Time = A (Total te)
Where:
A = 1,1 This value adjusts the catalyst ageing time to account for deterioration from sources
other than thermal ageing of the catalyst.
R = Catalyst thermal reactivity = 17 500L 423/570 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
th = The time (in hours) measured within the prescribed temperature bin of the vehicle's
catalyst temperature histogram adjusted to a full useful life basis e.g., if the
histogram represented 400 km, and useful life is 160 000km; all histogram time
entries would be multiplied by 400 (160 000/400).
Total te = The equivalent time (in hours) to age the catalyst at the temperature of Tr on the
catalyst ageing bench using the catalyst ageing cycle to produce the same amount of
deterioration experienced by the catalyst due to thermal deactivation over the
160 000km.
te for a bin = The equivalent time (in hours) to age the catalyst at the temperature of Tr on the
catalyst ageing bench using the catalyst ageing cycle to produce the same amount of
deterioration experienced by the catalyst due to thermal deactivation at the
temperature bin of Tv over 160 000km.
Tr = The effective reference temperature (in K) of the catalyst on the catalyst bench run
on the bench ageing cycle. The effective temperature is the constant temperature
that would result in the same amount of ageing as the various temperatures
experienced during the bench ageing cycle.
Tv = The mid-point temperature (in K) of the temperature bin of the vehicle on-road
catalyst temperature histogram.
2.3.1.5. Effective reference temperature on the SBC. The effective reference temperature of the SBC shall be determined for
the actual catalyst system design and actual ageing bench which will be used using the following procedures:
(a) Measure time-at-temperature data in the catalyst system on the catalyst ageing bench following the SBC.
Catalyst temperature shall be measured at the highest temperature location of the hottest catalyst in the
system. Alternatively, the temperature may be measured at another location providing that it is adjusted to
represent the temperature measured at the hottest location.
Catalyst temperature shall be measured at a minimum rate of one hertz (one measurement per second) during
at least 20 minutes of bench ageing. The measured catalyst temperature results shall be tabulated into a
histogram with temperature groups of no larger than 10 °C.
(b) The BAT equation shall be used to calculate the effective reference temperature by iterative changes to the
reference temperature (Tr) until the calculated ageing time equals or exceeds the actual time represented in
the catalyst temperature histogram. The resulting temperature is the effective reference temperature on the
SBC for that catalyst system and ageing bench.
2.3.1.6. Catalyst ageing bench. The catalyst ageing bench shall follow the SBC and deliver the appropriate exhaust flow,
exhaust constituents, and exhaust temperature at the face of the catalyst.
All bench ageing equipment and procedures shall record appropriate information (such as measured A/F ratios
and time-at-temperature in the catalyst) to assure that the bench-ageing test is documented to demonstrate that
sufficient ageing has actually occurred.
2.3.1.7. Required testing. For calculating deterioration factors at least two Type 1 tests before bench ageing of the emission
control hardware and at least two Type 1 tests after the bench-aged emission hardware is reinstalled have to be
performed on the test vehicle.
Additional testing may be conducted by the manufacturer. Calculation of the deterioration factors has to be done
according to the calculation method as specified in paragraph 7. of this annex.
2.3.2. Vehicles with compression ignition engines26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/571
2.3.2.1. The following bench ageing procedure is applicable for compression-ignition vehicles including hybrid vehicles.
The bench ageing procedure requires the installation of the after-treatment system on an after-treatment system
ageing bench.
In case of exhaust after-treatment system using reagent, the whole injection system shall be fitted and working for
ageing.
Ageing on the bench is conducted by following the Standard Diesel Bench Cycle (SDBC) for the number of
regenerations/desulphurisations calculated from the Bench Ageing Duration (BAD) equation.
2.3.2.2. SDBC. Standard bench ageing is conducted following the SDBC. The SDBC shall be run for the period of time
calculated from the BAD equation. The SDBC is described in Appendix 2 to this annex.
2.3.2.3. Regeneration data. Regeneration intervals shall be measured during at least 10 full cycles of the SRC cycle as
described in Appendix 3 to this annex. As an alternative the intervals from the K determination may be used.
i
If applicable, desulphurisation intervals shall also be considered based on manufacturer's data.
2.3.2.4. Diesel bench ageing duration. Bench ageing duration is calculated using the BAD equation as follows:
Bench ageing duration = number of regeneration and/or desulphurisation cycles (whichever is the longer)
equivalent to 160 000km of driving.
2.3.2.5. Ageing bench. The ageing bench shall follow the SDBC and deliver appropriate exhaust flow, exhaust constituents,
and exhaust temperature to the after-treatment system inlet.
The manufacturer shall record the number of regenerations/desulphurisations (if applicable) to assure that
sufficient ageing has actually occurred.
2.3.2.6. Required testing. For calculating deterioration factors at least two Type 1 tests before bench ageing of the emission
control hardware and at least two Type 1 tests after the bench-aged emission hardware is reinstalled have to be
performed on VH. Additional testing may be conducted by the manufacturer. Calculation of the deterioration
factors shall be done according to the calculation method set out in paragraph 7. of this annex and with the
additional requirements contained in this Regulation.
3. TEST VEHICLE
3.1. The vehicle shall be VH. It shall be in good mechanical order; the engine and the anti-pollution devices shall be
new. The vehicle may be the same as that presented for the Type 1 test; in this case the Type 1 test has to be done
after the vehicle has run at least 3 000km of the ageing cycle of Appendix 3. to this annex.
3.1.1. Special requirements for hybrid vehicles are provided in Appendix 4 to this annex.
4. FUEL
The durability test is conducted with a suitable commercially available fuel.
5. VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
Maintenance, adjustments as well as the use of the test vehicle's controls shall be those recommended by the
manufacturer. If during the execution of the whole vehicle durability test the vehicle experiences a failure not
related to emissions and/or fuel consumption and/or energy consumption, the manufacturer can fix the vehicle
and continue with the durability test. Otherwise the manufacturer shall consult the approval authority to find a
commonly agreed solution.L 423/572 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
6. VEHICLE OPERATION ON TRACK, ROAD OR ON CHASSIS DYNAMOMETER
6.1. Operating cycle
During operation on track, road or on roller test bench, the distance shall be covered according to the driving
schedule described in Appendix 3 of this annex.
6.2. The durability test, or if the manufacturer has chosen, the modified durability test shall be conducted until the
vehicle has covered its target useful life.
6.3. Test equipment
6.3.1. Chassis dynamometer
6.3.1.1. When the durability test is performed on a chassis dynamometer, the dynamometer shall enable the cycle
described in Appendix 3 of this annex to be carried out. In particular, it shall be equipped with systems
simulating inertia and resistance to progress.
6.3.1.2. The road load coefficients to be used shall be those for vehicle high (VH).
6.3.1.3. The vehicle cooling system should enable the vehicle to operate at temperatures similar to those obtained on road
(oil, water, exhaust system, etc.).
6.3.1.4. Certain other test bench adjustments and features are deemed to be identical, where necessary, to those described
in Annex B5 to this Regulation (inertia, for example, which may be mechanical or electronic).
6.3.1.5. The vehicle may be moved, where necessary, to a different bench in order to conduct emission measurement tests.
6.3.2. Operation on track or road
When the durability test is completed on track or road, the test mass of the vehicle shall be the same as that
retained for tests conducted on a chassis dynamometer.
7. MEASURING EMISSIONS OF POLLUTANTS
A first test is carried out when the vehicle has reached a mileage between 3 000km and 5 000km. Further tests
are carried out at 20 000km (± 400 km) and then every 20 000km (± 400 km) or more frequently, at regular
intervals until having covered the target useful life. Exhaust emissions are measured in accordance with the
Type 1 Test as defined in paragraph 6.3. of this Regulation. At the choice of the manufacturer any of the above
tests can be repeated. In such a case the average value of all the repeated tests shall be considered as a single value
for the relevant mileage. After the target useful life required for Level 1B has been driven, it is no longer necessary
to separately record the emissions results from the first 3 phases of WLTP.
The limit values to be complied with are those laid down in paragraph 6.3.10. of this Regulation.
In the case of vehicles equipped with periodically regenerating systems as defined in paragraph 3.8.1. of this
Regulation, it shall be checked that the vehicle is not approaching a regeneration period. If this is the case, the
vehicle shall be driven until the end of the regeneration. If a regeneration occurs during the emissions
measurement, a new test (including preconditioning) shall be performed, and the first result not taken into
account.
All exhaust emissions results shall be plotted as a function of the running distance on the system rounded to the
nearest kilometre and the best fit straight line fitted by the method of least squares shall be drawn through all
these data points.26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/573
For Level 1A
The data will be acceptable for use in the calculation of the deterioration factor only if the interpolated 5 000km
and target useful life points on this line are within the above mentioned limits.
The data are still acceptable when a best fit straight line crosses an applicable limit with a negative slope (the
5 000km interpolated point is higher than the target useful life point) but the target useful life actual data point
is below the limit.
For Level 1B
The data will be acceptable for use in the calculation of the deterioration factor only if the extrapolated 3 000km
and the target useful life points on this line are within the above mentioned limits.
7.1. A multiplicative exhaust emission deterioration factor shall be calculated for each pollutant as follows:
Mi
D:E:F:¼ 2
Mi
1
Where:
Mi = For Level 1A mass emission of the pollutant i in g/km interpolated to 5 000km,
1
For Level 1B – mass emission of the pollutant i in g/km extrapolated to 3 000km
Mi = mass emission of the pollutant i in g/km interpolated to the target useful life
2
These interpolated values shall be carried out to a minimum of four places to the right of the decimal point before
dividing one by the other to determine the deterioration factor. The result shall be rounded to three places to the
right of the decimal point.
If a deterioration factor is less than one, it is deemed to be equal to one.
At the request of a manufacturer, an additive exhaust emission deterioration factor shall be calculated for each
pollutant as follows:
D . E . F . = Mi – Mi
2 1
If the additive deterioration factor calculated with the above formula is negative, then it shall be put equal to zero.
These additive deterioration factors shall follow the same rules described for the multiplicative deterioration

Standard Bench Cycle (SBC)
This appendix applies to Level 1A only
1. INTRODUCTION
The standard ageing durability procedure consists of ageing a catalyst/oxygen and/or air fuel ratio sensor system on
an ageing bench which follows the Standard Bench Cycle (SBC) described in this appendix. The SBC requires the use
of an ageing bench with an engine as the source of feed gas for the catalyst. The SBC is a 60-second cycle which is
repeated as necessary on the ageing bench to conduct ageing for the required period of time. The SBC is defined
based on the catalyst temperature, engine air/fuel (A/F) ratio, and the amount of secondary air injection which is
added in front of the first catalyst.
2. CATALYST TEMPERATURE CONTROL
2.1. Catalyst temperature shall be measured in the catalyst bed at the location where the highest temperature occurs in
the hottest catalyst. Alternatively, the feed gas temperature may be measured and converted to catalyst bed
temperature using a linear transform calculated from correlation data collected on the catalyst design and ageing
bench to be used in the ageing process.
2.2. Control the catalyst temperature at stoichiometric operation (01 to 40 seconds on the cycle) to a minimum of 800 °
C (± 10 °C) by selecting the appropriate engine speed, load, and spark timing for the engine. Control the maximum
catalyst temperature that occurs during the cycle to 890 °C (± 10 °C) by selecting the appropriate A/F ratio of the
engine during the "rich" phase described in Table C4 App1/2.
2.3. If a low control temperature other than 800 °C is utilized, the high control temperature shall be 90 °C higher than
the low control temperature.

Standard Bench Cycle
3. AGEING BENCH EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURES
3.1. Ageing bench configuration. The ageing bench shall provide the appropriate exhaust flow rate, temperature, air-fuel
ratio, exhaust constituents and secondary air injection at the inlet face of the catalyst.
The standard ageing bench consists of an engine, engine controller, and engine dynamometer. Other configurations
may be acceptable (e.g. whole vehicle on a dynamometer, or a burner that provides the correct exhaust conditions),
as long as the catalyst inlet conditions and control features specified in this appendix are met.
A single ageing bench may have the exhaust flow split into several streams providing that each exhaust stream meets
the requirements of this appendix. If the bench has more than one exhaust stream, multiple catalyst systems may be
aged simultaneously.
3.2. Exhaust system installation. The entire catalyst(s)-plus-oxygen and/or air fuel ratio sensor(s) system, together with all
exhaust piping which connects these components, will be installed on the bench. For engines with multiple exhaust
streams (such as some V6 and V8 engines), each bank of the exhaust system will be installed separately on the bench
in parallel.
For exhaust systems that contain multiple in-line catalysts, the entire catalyst system including all catalysts, all
oxygen and/or air fuel ratio sensors and the associated exhaust piping will be installed as a unit for ageing.
Alternatively, each individual catalyst may be separately aged for the appropriate period of time.
3.3. Temperature measurement. Catalyst temperature shall be measured using a thermocouple placed in the catalyst bed
at the location where the highest temperature occurs in the hottest catalyst. Alternatively, the feed gas temperature
just before the catalyst inlet face may be measured and converted to catalyst bed temperature using a linear
transform calculated from correlation data collected on the catalyst design and ageing bench to be used in the
ageing process. The catalyst temperature shall be stored digitally at the speed of 1 Hz.
3.4. Air/Fuel measurement. Provisions shall be made for the measurement of the air/fuel (A/F) ratio (such as a wide-range
oxygen sensor) as close as possible to the catalyst inlet and outlet flanges. The information from these sensors shall
be stored digitally at the speed of 1 Hz.L 423/576 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
3.5. Exhaust flow balance. Provisions shall be made to assure that the proper amount of exhaust (measured in
grams/second at stoichiometry, with a tolerance of ± 5 grams/second) flows through each catalyst system that is
being aged on the bench.
The proper flow rate is determined based upon the exhaust flow that would occur in the original vehicle’s engine at
the steady state engine speed and load selected for the bench ageing in paragraph 3.6. of this appendix.
3.6. Setup. The engine speed, load, and spark timing are selected to achieve a catalyst bed temperature of 800 °C (± 10 °
C) at steady-state stoichiometric operation.
The air injection system is set to provide the necessary air flow to produce 3,0 per cent oxygen (± 0,1 %) in the
steady-state stoichiometric exhaust stream just in front of the first catalyst. A typical reading at the upstream A/F
measurement point (required in paragraph 3.4. of this appendix) is lambda 1,16 (which is approximately 3 per cent
oxygen).
With the air injection on, set the "Rich" A/F ratio to produce a catalyst bed temperature of 890 °C (± 10 °C). A typical
A/F value for this step is lambda 0,94 (approximately 2 per cent CO).
3.7. Ageing cycle. The standard bench ageing procedures use the SBC. The SBC is repeated until the amount of ageing
calculated from the BAT equation is achieved.
3.8. Quality assurance. The temperatures and A/F ratio in paragraphs 3.3. and 3.4. of this appendix shall be reviewed
periodically (at least every 50 hours) during ageing. Necessary adjustments shall be made to assure that the SBC is
being appropriately followed throughout the ageing process.
After the ageing has been completed, the catalyst time-at-temperature collected during the ageing process shall be
tabulated into a histogram with temperature groups of no larger than 10 °C. The BAT equation and the calculated
effective reference temperature for the ageing cycle according to paragraph 2.3.1.4. of this annex shall be used to
determine if the appropriate amount of thermal ageing of the catalyst has in fact occurred. Bench ageing will be
extended if the thermal effect of the calculated ageing time is not at least 95 per cent of the target thermal ageing.
3.9. Start up and Shutdown. Care should be taken to assure that the maximum catalyst temperature for rapid
deterioration (e.g. 1 050 °C) does not occur during start up or shut down. Special low temperature start up and
shutdown procedures may be used to alleviate this concern.
4. EXPERIMENTALLY DETERMINING THE R-FACTOR FOR BENCH AGEING DURABILITY PROCEDURES
4.1. The R-Factor is the catalyst thermal reactivity coefficient used in the BAT equation. Manufacturers may determine
the value of R experimentally using the following procedures.
4.1.1. Using the applicable bench cycle and ageing bench hardware, age several catalysts (minimum of 3 of the same
catalyst design) at different control temperatures between the normal operating temperature and the damage limit
temperature. Measure emissions (or catalyst inefficiency (1-catalyst efficiency)) for each exhaust constituent. Assure
that the final testing yields data between one- and two-times the emission standard.
4.1.2. Estimate the value of R and calculate the effective reference temperature (Tr) for the bench ageing cycle for each
control temperature according to paragraph 2.3.1.4. of this annex.
4.1.3. Plot emissions (or catalyst inefficiency) versus ageing time for each catalyst. Calculate the least-squared best-fit line
through the data. For the data set to be useful for this purpose the data should have an approximately common
intercept between 0 and 6 400km. See Figure C4 App1/3 for an example.
4.1.4. Calculate the slope of the best-fit line for each ageing temperature.26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/577
Figure C4 App1/3
Example of catalyst ageing
4.1.5. Plot the natural log (ln) of the slope of each best-fit line (determined in paragraph 4.1.4. of this appendix) along the
vertical axis, versus the inverse of ageing temperature (1/(ageing temperature, deg K)) along the horizontal axis.
Calculate the least squared best-fit lines through the data. The slope of the line is the R-factor. See Figure C4 App1/
4 for an example.
4.1.6. Compare the R-factor to the initial value that was used in paragraph 4.1.2. of this appendix. If the calculated R-factor
differs from the initial value by more than 5 per cent, choose a new R-factor that is between the initial and calculated
values, and then repeat the steps in paragraphs 4.1.2. to 4.1.6. of this appendix to derive a new R-factor. Repeat this
process until the calculated R-factor is within 5 per cent of the initially assumed R-factor.
4.1.7. Compare the R-factor determined separately for each exhaust constituent. Use the lowest R-factor (worst case) for
the BAT equation.

Appendix 2
Standard Diesel Bench Cycle (SDBC)
This appendix applies to Level 1A only
1. INTRODUCTION
For particulate filters, the number of regenerations is critical to the ageing process. For systems that require
desulphurisation cycles (e.g. NO storage catalysts), this process is also significant.
x
The standard diesel bench ageing durability procedure consists of ageing an after-treatment system on an ageing bench
which follows the SDBC described in this appendix. The SDBC requires use of an ageing bench with an engine as the
source of feed gas for the system.
During the SDBC, the regeneration/desulphurisation strategies of the system shall remain in normal operating
condition.
2. The SDBC reproduces the engine speed and load conditions that are encountered in the SRC cycle as appropriate to
the period for which durability is to be determined. In order to accelerate the process of ageing, the engine settings
on the test bench may be modified to reduce the system loading times. For example the fuel injection timing or EGR
strategy may be modified.
3. AGEING BENCH EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURES
3.1. The standard ageing bench consists of an engine, engine controller, and engine dynamometer. Other configurations
may be acceptable (e.g. whole vehicle on a dynamometer, or a burner that provides the correct exhaust conditions),
as long as the after-treatment system inlet conditions and control features specified in this appendix are met.
A single ageing bench may have the exhaust flow split into several streams provided that each exhaust stream meets
the requirements of this appendix. If the bench has more than one exhaust stream, multiple after-treatment systems
may be aged simultaneously.
3.2. Exhaust system installation. The entire after-treatment system, together with all exhaust piping which connects these
components, will be installed on the bench. For engines with multiple exhaust streams (such as some V6 and V8
engines), each bank of the exhaust system will be installed separately on the bench.
The entire after-treatment system will be installed as a unit for ageing. Alternatively, each individual component may
be separately aged for the appropriate period of time.
In case of exhaust after-treatment system using reagent, the whole injection system shall be fitted and working for
ageing.26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/579

on (predominant mode) or in the mode which is recommended by the manufacturer (if no predominant mode is
available) after agreement of the Technical Service.
During the mileage accumulation a change into another hybrid mode is allowed if necessary in order to continue the
mileage accumulation after agreement of the Technical Service.
The measurements of emissions of pollutants shall be carried out under the same conditions as specified in
paragraph 3.2.5. of Annex B8.
3. For NOVC-HEVs:
Mileage accumulation shall be driven in the driver selectable mode which is always selected when the vehicle is
switched on (predominant mode) or in the mode which is recommended by the manufacturer (if no predominant
mode is available) after agreement of the Technical Service.

ANNEX C5
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) for motor vehicles
1. INTRODUCTION
This annex applies to the functional aspects of On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system for the emission control of
motor vehicles.
2. RESERVED
3. REQUIREMENTS AND TESTS
3.1. All vehicles shall be equipped with an OBD system so designed, constructed and installed in a vehicle as to
enable it to identify types of deterioration or malfunction over the entire life of the vehicle. In achieving this
objective, the Type Approval Authority shall accept that vehicles which have travelled distances in excess of the
target useful life (according to paragraph 6.7. of this Regulation) referred to in paragraph 3.3.1. of this annex,
may show some deterioration in OBD system performance such that the OBD thresholds set out in Table 4A
and Table 4B (as applicable) in paragraph 6.8.2. of this Regulation may be exceeded before the OBD system
signals a failure to the driver of the vehicle.
3.1.1. Access to the OBD system required for the inspection, diagnosis, servicing or repair of the vehicle shall be
unrestricted and standardised. All emission-related fault codes shall be consistent with paragraph 6.5.3.5. of
Appendix 1 to this annex.
3.2. The OBD system shall be so designed, constructed and installed in a vehicle as to enable it to comply with the
requirements of this annex during conditions of normal use.
3.2.1. Temporary disablement of the OBD system
3.2.1.1. A manufacturer may disable the OBD system if its ability to monitor is affected by low fuel levels. Disablement
shall not occur when the fuel tank level is above 20 per cent of the nominal capacity of the fuel tank.
3.2.1.2. A manufacturer may disable the OBD system at ambient engine starting temperatures below 266 K (– 7 °C) or at
elevations over 2 440 metres above sea level provided the manufacturer submits data and/or an engineering
evaluation which adequately demonstrate that monitoring would be unreliable when such conditions exist. A
manufacturer may also request disablement of the OBD system at other ambient engine starting temperatures if
he demonstrates to the authority with data and/or an engineering evaluation that misdiagnosis would occur
under such conditions. It is not necessary to illuminate the Malfunction Indicator (MI) if the OBD thresholds are
exceeded during a regeneration provided no defect is present.
3.2.1.3. For vehicles designed to accommodate the installation of power take-off units, disablement of affected
monitoring systems is permitted provided disablement occurs only when the power take-off unit is active.
In addition to the provisions of this paragraph the manufacturer may temporarily disable the OBD system in the
following conditions:
(a) For flex fuel or mono/bi fuel gas vehicles during 1 minute after re-fuelling to allow for the recognition of
fuel quality and composition by the ECU;
(b) For bi fuel vehicles during 5 seconds after fuel switching to allow for readjusting engine parameters;
(c) The manufacturer may deviate from these time limits if it can demonstrate that stabilisation of the fuelling
system after re-fuelling or fuel switching takes longer for justified technical reasons. In any case, the OBD
system shall be re-enabled as soon as either the fuel quality and composition is recognised, or the engine
parameters are readjusted.L 423/586 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
3.2.2. Engine misfire in vehicles equipped with positive ignition engines
3.2.2.1. Manufacturers may adopt higher misfire percentage malfunction criteria than those declared to the authority,
under specific engine speed and load conditions where it can be demonstrated to the authority that the
detection of lower levels of misfire would be unreliable.
3.2.2.2. When a manufacturer can demonstrate to the authority that the detection of higher levels of misfire percentages
is still not feasible, or that misfire cannot be distinguished from other effects (e.g. rough roads, transmission
shifts, after engine starting; etc.) the misfire monitoring system may be disabled when such conditions exist.
3.2.3. Identification of deterioration or malfunctions may be also be done outside a driving cycle (e.g. after engine
shutdown).
3.3. Description of tests

3.3.5. Manufacturers may demonstrate to the Type Approval Authority that certain components or systems need not
be monitored if, in the event of their total failure or removal, emissions do not exceed the OBD thresholds set
out in paragraph 6.8.2. of this Regulation.
3.3.5.1. For Level 1A only
The following devices should however be monitored for total failure or removal (if removal would cause the
applicable emission limits in paragraph 6.3.10. of this Regulation to be exceeded):
(a) A particulate trap fitted to compression ignition engines as a separate unit or integrated into a combined
emission control device;26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/589
(b) A NO after treatment system fitted to compression ignition engines as a separate unit or integrated into a
x
combined emission control device;
(c) A Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) fitted to compression ignition engines as a separate unit or integrated
into a combined emission control device.
3.3.5.2. For Level 1A only
The devices referred to in paragraph 3.3.5.1. of this annex shall also be monitored for any failure that would
result in exceeding the applicable OBD thresholds set out in in paragraph 6.8.2. of this Regulation.
3.4. A sequence of diagnostic checks shall be initiated at each engine start and completed at least once provided that
the correct test conditions are met. The test conditions shall be selected in such a way that they all occur under
normal driving as represented by the Type 1 test.
3.5. Activation of malfunction indicator (MI)
3.5.1. The OBD system shall incorporate a malfunction indicator readily perceivable to the vehicle operator. The MI
shall not be used for any other purpose except to indicate emergency start-up, emission default modes or limp-
home routines to the driver. The MI shall be visible in all reasonable lighting conditions. When activated, it shall
display a symbol in conformity with ISO 2575. A vehicle shall not be equipped with more than one general
purpose MI for emission-related problems. Separate specific purpose tell tales (e. g. brake system, fasten seat
belt, oil pressure, etc.) are permitted. The use of red colour for an MI is prohibited.
3.5.2. For strategies requiring more than two preconditioning cycles for MI activation, the manufacturer shall provide
data and/or an engineering evaluation which adequately demonstrates that the monitoring system is equally
effective and timely in detecting component deterioration. Strategies requiring on average more than ten
driving cycles for MI activation are not accepted. The MI shall also activate whenever the engine control enters a
permanent emission default mode of operation if any of the OBD thresholds set out in paragraph 6.8.2. of this
Regulation are exceeded or if the OBD system is unable to fulfil the basic monitoring requirements specified in
paragraph 3.3.3. or 3.3.4. of this annex. The MI shall operate in a distinct warning mode, e.g. a flashing light,
under any period during which engine misfire occurs at a level likely to cause catalyst damage, as specified by
the manufacturer. The MI shall also activate when the vehicle's ignition is in the "key-on" position before engine
starting or cranking and de-activate after engine starting if no malfunction has previously been detected.
3.6. Fault code storage
3.6.1. The OBD system shall record pending and confirmed fault code(s) indicating the status of the emission control
system. Separate status codes (readiness codes) shall be used to identify correctly functioning emission control
systems and those emission control systems which need further vehicle operation to be fully evaluated. If the
MI is activated due to deterioration or malfunction or permanent emission default modes of operation, a fault
code shall be stored that identifies the type of malfunction. A fault code shall also be stored in the cases referred
to in paragraphs 3.3.3.5. and 3.3.4.5. of this annex.
3.6.2. The distance travelled by the vehicle while the MI is activated shall be available at any instant through the serial
port on the standard link connector.
3.6.3. In the case of vehicles equipped with positive ignition engines, misfiring cylinders need not be uniquely
identified if a distinct single or multiple cylinder misfire fault code is stored.
3.7. Extinguishing the MIL 423/590 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
3.7.1. If misfire at levels likely to cause catalyst damage (as specified by the manufacturer) is not present any more, or if
the engine is operated after changes to speed and load conditions where the level of misfire will not cause
catalyst damage, the MI may be switched back to the previous state of activation during the first driving cycle
on which the misfire level was detected and may be switched to the normal activated mode on subsequent
driving cycles. If the MI is switched back to the previous state of activation, the corresponding fault codes and
stored freeze-frame conditions may be erased.
3.7.2. For all other malfunctions, the MI may be de-activated after three subsequent sequential driving cycles during
which the monitoring system responsible for activating the MI ceases to detect the malfunction and if no other
malfunction has been identified that would independently activate the MI.
3.8. Erasing a fault code
3.8.1. The OBD system may erase a fault code and the distance travelled and freeze-frame information if the same fault
is not re-registered in at least 40 engine warm-up cycles or 40 driving cycles with vehicle operation in which the
following criteria (a)-(c) are satisfied:
(a) Cumulative time since engine start is greater than or equal to 600 seconds;
(b) Cumulative vehicle operation at or above 40 km/h occurs for greater than or equal to 300 seconds;
(c) Continuous vehicle operation at idle (i.e. accelerator pedal released by driver and vehicle speed less than or
equal to 1,6 km/h) for greater than or equal to 30 seconds.
3.9. Bi-fuelled gas vehicles
In general, for bi-fuelled gas vehicles for each of the fuel types (petrol and (NG/biomethane)/LPG)) all the OBD
requirements as for a mono-fuelled vehicle are applicable. To this end one of the following two options in
paragraphs 3.9.1. or 3.9.2. of this annex or any combination thereof, shall be used.
3.9.1. One OBD system for both fuel types.
3.9.1.1. The following procedures shall be executed for each diagnostic in a single OBD system for operation on petrol
and on (NG/biomethane)/LPG, either independent of the fuel currently in use or fuel type specific:
(a) Activation of malfunction indicator (MI) (see paragraph 3.5. of this annex);
(b) Fault code storage (see paragraph 3.6. of this annex);
(c) Extinguishing the MI (see paragraph 3.7. of this annex);
(d) Erasing a fault code (see paragraph 3.8. of this annex).
For components or systems to be monitored, either separate diagnostics for each fuel type can be used or a
common diagnostic.
3.9.1.2. The OBD system can reside in either one or more computers.
3.9.2. Two separate OBD systems, one for each fuel type.
3.9.2.1. The following procedures shall be executed independently of each other when the vehicle is operated on petrol
or on (NG/biomethane)/LPG:

3.9.3. Specific requirements regarding the transmission of diagnostic signals from bi-fuelled gas vehicles.
3.9.3.1. On a request from a diagnostic scan tool, the diagnostic signals shall be transmitted on one or more source
addresses. The use of source addresses is described in the standard listed in paragraph 6.5.3.2.(a) of Appendix 1
to this annex.
3.9.3.2. Identification of fuel specific information can be realized:
(a) By use of source addresses; and/or
(b) By use of a fuel select switch; and/or
(c) By use of fuel specific fault codes.
3.9.4. Regarding the status code (as described in paragraph 3.6. of this annex), one of the following two options has to
be used, if one or more of the diagnostics reporting readiness is fuel type specific:
(a) The status code is fuel specific, i.e. use of two status codes, one for each fuel type;
(b) The status code shall indicate fully evaluated control systems for both fuel types (petrol and (NG/
biomethane)/LPG)) when the control systems are fully evaluated for one of the fuel types.
If none of the diagnostics reporting readiness is fuel type specific, then only one status code has to be supported.
3.10. Additional provisions for vehicles employing engine shut-off strategies.
3.10.1. Driving cycle
3.10.1.1. Autonomous engine restarts commanded by the engine control system following an engine stall may be
considered a new driving cycle or a continuation of the existing driving cycle.
4. REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO THE TYPE APPROVAL OF ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS
4.1. A manufacturer may request to the Type Approval Authority that an OBD system be accepted for type approval
even though the system contains one or more deficiencies such that the specific requirements of this annex are
not fully met. The Type Approval Authority may approve up to two separate components or systems with one
or more deficiencies.
When a manufacturer adopts specific conditions for misfire defined in paragraph 3.3.3.2.1. of this annex, these
conditions shall not be considered as a deficiency.
4.2. In considering the request, the Type Approval Authority shall determine whether compliance with the
requirements of this annex is infeasible or unreasonable.
The Type Approval Authority shall take into consideration data from the manufacturer that details such factors
as, but not limited to, technical feasibility, lead time and production cycles including phase-in or phase-out of
engines or vehicle designs and programmed upgrades of computers, the extent to which the resultant OBD
system will be effective in complying with the requirements of this Regulation and that the manufacturer has
demonstrated an acceptable level of effort towards compliance with the requirements of this Regulation.
4.2.1. The Type Approval Authority shall not accept any deficiency request that includes the complete lack of a
required diagnostic monitor or the lack of mandated recording and reporting of data related to a monitor.L 423/592 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021

Appendix 1
Functional aspects of On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) systems
1. INTRODUCTION
This appendix describes the procedure of the test according to paragraph 3. of this annex. The procedure describes
a method for checking the function of the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system installed on the vehicle by failure
simulation of relevant systems in the engine management or emission control system. It also sets procedures for
determining the durability of OBD systems.
The manufacturer shall make available the defective components and/or electrical devices which would be used to
simulate failures. When measured over the Type 1 test cycle, such defective components or devices shall not cause
the vehicle emissions to exceed any of the OBD thresholds set out in Table 4A and Table 4B (as applicable) in
paragraph 6.8.2. of this Regulation by more than 20 per cent. For electrical failures (short/open circuit), the
emissions may exceed these OBD thresholds by more than twenty per cent.
When the vehicle is tested with the defective component or device fitted, the OBD system is approved if the MI is
activated. The OBD system is also approved if the MI is activated below the OBD thresholds.
2. DESCRIPTION OF TEST
2.1. The testing of OBD systems consists of the following phases:
2.1.1. Simulation of malfunction of a component of the engine management or emission control system;
2.1.2. Preconditioning of the vehicle with a simulated malfunction over preconditioning specified in paragraph 6.2.1. or
paragraph 6.2.2. of this appendix;
2.1.3. Driving the vehicle with a simulated malfunction over the Type 1 test cycle and measuring the emissions of the
vehicle. When driving the vehicle with a simulated malfunction, the drive trace indices and tolerances set out in
paragraph 2.6.8.3.2. of Annex B6 shall not apply;
2.1.4. Determining whether the OBD system reacts to the simulated malfunction and indicates malfunction in an
appropriate manner to the vehicle driver.
2.2. Alternatively, at the request of the manufacturer, malfunction of one or more components may be electronically
simulated according to the requirements of paragraph 6. of this appendix.
2.3. Manufacturers may request that monitoring take place outside the Type 1 test cycle if it can be demonstrated to the
Type Approval Authority that monitoring during conditions encountered during the Type 1 test cycle would
impose restrictive monitoring conditions when the vehicle is used in service.
3. TEST VEHICLE AND FUEL
3.1. Vehicle
The test vehicle shall meet the requirements of paragraph 2.3. of Annex B6 to this Regulation.
3.2. Fuel
The appropriate reference fuel as described in Annex B3 to this Regulation shall be used for testing. The fuel type
for each failure mode to be tested (described in paragraph 6.3. of this appendix) may be selected by the Type
Approval Authority from the reference fuels described in Annex B3 to this Regulation in the case of the testing of
a mono-fuelled gas vehicle or of a bi-fuelled gas vehicle. The selected fuel type shall not be changed during any of
the test phases (described in paragraphs 2.1. to 2.3. of this appendix). In the case of the use of LPG or
NG/biomethane as a fuel it is permissible that the engine is started on petrol and switched to LPG or
NG/biomethane after a pre-determined period of time which is controlled automatically and not under the
control of the driver.L 423/594 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
4. TEST TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE
4.1. The test temperature and pressure shall meet the requirements of the Type 1 test as described in Annex B6 to this
Regulation.
5. TEST EQUIPMENT

7. IN-USE PERFORMANCE
This paragraph is only applicable for Level 1A
7.1. General requirements
7.1.1. Each monitor of the OBD system shall be executed at least once per driving cycle in which the monitoring
conditions as specified in paragraph 7.2. of this appendix are met. Manufacturers may not use the calculated ratio
(or any element thereof) or any other indication of monitor frequency as a monitoring condition for any monitor.
7.1.2. The In-Use Performance Ratio (IUPR) of a specific monitor M of the OBD systems and in-use performance of
pollution control devices shall be:
IUPR = Numerator / Denominator
M M M
7.1.3. Comparison of numerator and denominator gives an indication of how often a specific monitor is operating
relative to vehicle operation. To ensure all manufacturers are tracking IUPR in the same manner, detailed
M
requirements are given for defining and incrementing these counters.L 423/600 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
7.1.4. If, according to the requirements of this annex, the vehicle is equipped with a specific monitor M, IUPR shall be
M
greater or equal to the following minimum values:
(a) 0,260 for secondary air system monitors and other cold start related monitors;
(b) 0,520 for evaporative emission purge control monitors;
(c) 0,336 for all other monitors.
7.1.5. Vehicles shall comply with the requirements of paragraph 7.1.4. of this appendix for a mileage of at least the target
useful life, as defined in paragraph 6.7. of this Regulation.
7.1.6. The requirements of this paragraph are deemed to be met for a particular monitor M, if for all vehicles of a
particular OBD family manufactured in a particular calendar year the following statistical conditions hold:
(a) The average IUPR is equal or above the minimum value applicable to the monitor;
M
(b) More than 50 per cent of all vehicles have an IUPR equal or above the minimum value applicable to the
M
monitor.
7.2. Numerator
M
7.2.1. The numerator of a specific monitor is a counter measuring the number of times a vehicle has been operated such
that all monitoring conditions necessary for the specific monitor to detect a malfunction in order to warn the
driver, as they have been implemented by the manufacturer, have been encountered. The numerator shall not be
incremented more than once per driving cycle, unless there is reasoned technical justification.
7.3. Denominator
M
7.3.1. The purpose of the denominator is to provide a counter indicating the number of vehicle driving events, taking
into account special conditions for a specific monitor. The denominator shall be incremented at least once per
driving cycle, if during this driving cycle such conditions are met and the general denominator is incremented as
specified in paragraph 7.5. of this appendix unless the denominator is disabled according to paragraph 7.7. of
this appendix.
7.3.2. In addition to the requirements of paragraph 7.3.1. of this appendix:
(a) Secondary air system monitor denominator(s) shall be incremented if the commanded "on" operation of the
secondary air system occurs for a time greater than or equal to 10 seconds. For purposes of determining this
commanded "on" time, the OBD system may not include time during intrusive operation of the secondary air
system solely for the purposes of monitoring.
(b) Denominators of monitors of systems only active during cold start shall be incremented if the component or
strategy is commanded "on" for a time greater than or equal to 10 seconds.
(c) The denominator(s) for monitors of Variable Valve Timing (VVT) and/or control systems shall be incremented
if the component is commanded to function (e.g., commanded "on", "open", "closed", "locked", etc.) on two or
more occasions during the driving cycle or for a time greater than or equal to 10 seconds, whichever occurs
first.
(d) For the following monitors, the denominator(s) shall be incremented by one if, in addition to meeting the
requirements of this paragraph on at least one driving cycle, at least 800 cumulative kilometres of vehicle
operation have been experienced since the last time the denominator was incremented:
(i) Diesel oxidation catalyst;
(ii) Diesel particulate filter.
(e) Without prejudice to requirements for the increment of denominators of other monitors the denominators of
monitors of the following components shall be incremented if and only if the driving cycle started with a cold
start:
(i) Liquid (oil, engine coolant, fuel, SCR reagent) temperature sensors;26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/601
(ii) Clean air (ambient air, intake air, charge air, inlet manifold) temperature sensors;
(iii) Exhaust (EGR recirculation/cooling, exhaust gas turbo-charging, catalyst) temperature sensors;
(f) The denominators of monitors of the boost pressure control system shall be incremented if all of the
following conditions are met:
(i) The general denominator conditions arc fulfilled;
(ii) The boost pressure control system is active for a time greater than or equal to 15 seconds.
(g) Manufacturers may request to use special denominator conditions for certain components or systems and this
request can be approved only if it can be demonstrated to the Type Approval Authority by submitting data
and/or an engineering evaluation that those other conditions are necessary to allow for reliable detection of
malfunctions.
7.3.3. For hybrid vehicles, vehicles that employ alternative engine start hardware or strategies (e.g. integrated starter and
generators), or alternative fuel vehicles (e.g. dedicated, bi-fuel, or dual-fuel applications), the manufacturer may
request the approval of the Type Approval Authority to use alternative criteria to those set out in this paragraph
for incrementing the denominator. In general, the Type Approval Authority shall not approve alternative criteria
for vehicles that only employ engine shut off at or near idle/vehicle stop conditions. Approval by the Type
Approval Authority of the alternative criteria shall be based on the equivalence of the alternative criteria to
determine the amount of vehicle operation relative to the measure of conventional vehicle operation in
accordance with the criteria in this paragraph.
7.4. Ignition cycle counter
7.4.1. The ignition cycle counter indicates the number of ignition cycles a vehicle has experienced. The ignition cycle
counter may not be incremented more than once per driving cycle.
7.5. General denominator
7.5.1. The general denominator is a counter measuring the number of times a vehicle has been operated. It shall be
incremented within 10 seconds, if and only if, the following criteria are satisfied on a single driving cycle:
(a) Cumulative time since engine start is greater than or equal to 600 seconds while at an elevation of less than
2 440m above sea level and at an ambient temperature of greater than or equal to – 7 °C;
(b) Cumulative vehicle operation at or above 40 km/h occurs for greater than or equal to 300 seconds while at an
elevation of less than 2 440m above sea level and at an ambient temperature of greater than or equal to – 7 °
C;
(c) Continuous vehicle operation at idle (i.e. accelerator pedal released by driver and vehicle speed less than or
equal to 1,6 km/h) for greater than or equal to 30 seconds while at an elevation of less than 2 440m above
sea level and at an ambient temperature of greater than or equal to – 7 °C.
7.6. Reporting and increasing counters
7.6.1. The OBD system shall report, in accordance with the ISO 15031-5 specifications of the standard listed in
paragraph 6.5.3.2.(a) of this appendix, the ignition cycle counter and general denominator as well as separate
numerators and denominators for the following monitors, if their presence on the vehicle is required by this
annex:
(a) Catalysts (each bank to be reported separately);
(b) Oxygen/exhaust gas sensors, including secondary oxygen sensors (each sensor to be reported separately);
(c) Evaporative system;L 423/602 EN Official Journal of the European Union 26.11.2021
(d) EGR system;
(e) VVT system;
(f) Secondary air system;
(g) Particulate filter;
(h) NO after-treatment system (e.g. NO adsorber, NO reagent/catalyst system);
x x x
(i) Boost pressure control system.
7.6.2. For specific components or systems that have multiple monitors, which are required to be reported by this point
(e.g. oxygen sensor bank 1 may have multiple monitors for sensor response or other sensor characteristics), the
OBD system shall separately track numerators and denominators for each of the specific monitors and report
only the corresponding numerator and denominator for the specific monitor that has the lowest numerical ratio.
If two or more specific monitors have identical ratios, the corresponding numerator and denominator for the
specific monitor that has the highest denominator shall be reported for the specific component.
7.6.2.1. Numerators and denominators for specific monitors of components or systems, that are monitoring continuously
for short circuit or open circuit failures are exempted from reporting.
"Continuously", if used in this context means monitoring is always enabled and sampling of the signal used for
monitoring occurs at a rate no less than two samples per second and the presence or the absence of the failure
relevant to that monitor has to be concluded within 15 seconds.
If for control purposes, a computer input component is sampled less frequently, the signal of the component may
instead be evaluated each time sampling occurs.
It is not required to activate an output component/system for the sole purpose of monitoring that output
component/system.
7.6.3. All counters, when incremented, shall be incremented by an integer of one.
7.6.4. The minimum value of each counter is 0, the maximum value shall not be less than 65 535, notwithstanding any
other requirements on standardised storage and reporting of the OBD system.
7.6.5. If either the numerator or denominator for a specific monitor reaches its maximum value, both counters for that
specific monitor shall be divided by two before being incremented again according to the provisions set in
paragraphs 7.2. and 7.3. of this appendix. If the ignition cycle counter or the general denominator reaches its
maximum value, the respective counter shall change to zero at its next increment according to the provisions set
in paragraphs 7.4. and 7.5. of this appendix, respectively.
7.6.6. Each counter shall be reset to zero only when a non-volatile memory reset occurs (e.g. reprogramming event, etc.)
or, if the numbers are stored in keep-alive memory (KAM), when KAM is lost due to an interruption in electrical
power to the control module (e.g. battery disconnect, etc.).
7.6.7. The manufacturer shall take measures to ensure that the values of numerator and denominator cannot be reset or
modified, except in cases provided for explicitly in this paragraph.
7.7. Disablement of numerators and denominators and of the general denominator
7.7.1. Within 10 seconds of a malfunction being detected, which disables a monitor required to meet the monitoring
conditions of this annex (i.e. a pending or confirmed code is stored), the OBD system shall disable further
incrementing of the corresponding numerator and denominator for each monitor that is disabled. When the
malfunction is no longer detected (i.e., the pending code is erased through self-clearing or through a scan tool
command), incrementing of all corresponding numerators and denominators shall resume within 10 seconds.26.11.2021 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 423/603
7.7.2. Within 10 seconds of the start of a Power Take-off Operation (PTO) that disables a monitor required to meet the
monitoring conditions of this annex, the OBD system shall disable further incrementing of the corresponding
numerator and denominator for each monitor that is disabled. When the PTO operation ends, incrementing of all
corresponding numerators and denominators shall resume within 10 seconds.
7.7.3. The OBD system shall disable further incrementing of the numerator and denominator of a specific monitor
within 10 seconds, if a malfunction of any component used to determine the criteria within the definition of the
specific monitor's denominator (i.e. vehicle speed, ambient temperature, elevation, idle operation, engine cold
start, or time of operation) has been detected and the corresponding pending fault code has been stored.
Incrementing of the numerator and denominator shall resume within 10 seconds when the malfunction is no
longer present (e.g. pending code erased through self-clearing or by a scan tool command).
7.7.4. The OBD system shall disable further incrementing of the general denominator within 10 seconds, if a
malfunction has been detected of any component used to determine whether the criteria in paragraph 7.5. of this
appendix are satisfied (i.e. vehicle speed, ambient temperature, elevation, idle operation, or time of operation) and
the corresponding pending fault code has been stored. The general denominator may not be disabled from
incrementing for any other condition. Incrementing of the general denominator shall resume within 10 seconds
when the malfunction is no longer present (e.g. pending code erased through self-clearing or by a scan tool
command).
