- Specifications and tests
5.1. General
5.1.1. Manufacturers shall demonstrate that all new vehicles are type approved in accordance with this Regulation. These obligations include meeting the emission limits set out in this Regulation.
Manufacturers shall ensure that type approval procedures for verifying conformity of production and in-service conformity are met.
In addition, the technical measures taken by the manufacturer must be such as to ensure that the tailpipe and evaporative emissions are effectively limited, pursuant to this Regulation, throughout the normal life of the vehicles under normal conditions of use. Therefore, in-service conformity measures shall be checked for a period of up to five years or 100 000 km, whichever is the sooner.
In-service conformity shall be checked, in particular, for tailpipe emissions as tested against emission limits set out in UN Regulation No. 154.
5.1.2. The manufacturer shall equip vehicles so that the components likely to affect emissions are designed, constructed and assembled so as to enable the vehicle, in normal use, to comply with this Regulation.
5.1.3. Reserved
5.1.4. Reserved
5.1.5. Provisions for electronic system security
5.1.5.1. The requirements for electronic system security of paragraph 6.1.7. of UN Regulation No. 154 shall be complied with. The effective application of these strategies in protecting the emission control systems may be tested during type approval and/or regional market surveillance.
5.1.5.2. Manufacturers shall effectively deter reprogramming of the odometer readings, in the board network, in any powertrain controller as well as in the transmitting unit for remote data exchange if applicable. Manufacturers shall include systematic tamper-protection strategies and write-protect features to protect the integrity of the odometer reading. Methods giving an adequate level of tamper protection shall be approved by the type approval authority. The effective application of these strategies in protecting the odometer may be tested during type approval and/or regional market surveillance.
5.1.6. It shall be possible to inspect the vehicle for roadworthiness test in order to determine its performance in relation to the data collected in accordance with paragraph 5.3.7. If this inspection requires a special procedure, this shall be detailed in the service manual (or equivalent media). This special procedure shall not require the use of special equipment other than that provided with the vehicle.
5.1.7. 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.

1 Specific test procedures for hydrogen vehicles and flex fuel biodiesel vehicles will be defined at a later stage.
2 When a bi-fuel vehicle is combined with a flex fuel vehicle, both test requirements are applicable.
5.3. Description of tests
5.3.1. Reserved
5.3.2. Type 2 test (Carbon monoxide emission test at idling speed)
5.3.2.1. This test is carried out on all vehicles powered by positive ignition engines, as follows:
5.3.2.1.1. Vehicles that can be fuelled either with petrol or with LPG or NG/biomethane shall be tested in the Type 2 test on both fuels.
5.3.2.1.2. Notwithstanding the requirement of paragraph 5.3.2.1.1., mono-fuel gas vehicles will be regarded for the Type 2 test as vehicles that can only run on a gaseous fuel.
5.3.2.2. For the Type 2 test set out in Annex 5 to this Regulation, at normal engine idling speed, the maximum permissible carbon monoxide content in the exhaust gases shall be that stated by the vehicle manufacturer. However, the maximum carbon monoxide content shall not exceed 0.3 per cent vol.
At high idle speed, the carbon monoxide content by volume of the exhaust gases shall not exceed 0.2 per cent, with the engine speed being at least 2,000 min-1 and Lambda being 1 ± 0.03 or in accordance with the specifications of the manufacturer.
5.3.3. Type 3 test (Verifying emissions of crankcase gases)
5.3.3.1. This test shall be carried out on all vehicles referred to in paragraph 1. except those having compression-ignition engines.
5.3.3.1.1. Vehicles that can be fuelled either with petrol or with LPG or NG should be tested in the Type 3 test on petrol only.
5.3.3.1.2. Notwithstanding the requirement of paragraph 5.3.3.1.1., mono-fuel gas vehicles will be regarded for the Type 3 test as vehicles that can only run on a gaseous fuel.
5.3.3.2. When tested in accordance with Annex 6 to this Regulation, the engine's crankcase ventilation system shall not permit the emission of any of the crankcase gases into the atmosphere.
5.3.4. Reserved
5.3.5. Type 6 test (Verifying the average exhaust emissions of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons after a cold start at low ambient temperature).
5.3.5.1. This test shall be carried out on all vehicles referred to in paragraph 1. except those having compression-ignition engines.
5.3.5.1.1. The vehicle is placed on a chassis dynamometer equipped with a means of load an inertia simulation.
5.3.5.1.2. The test consists of the four elementary urban driving cycles of Part One of the NEDC based Type I test. The Part One test is described in paragraph 6.1.1. of Annex 4a to the 07 series of amendments to this Regulation, and illustrated in Figure A4a/1 of the same annex. The low ambient temperature test lasting a total of 780 seconds shall be carried out without interruption and start at engine cranking.
5.3.5.1.3. The low ambient temperature test shall be carried out at an ambient test temperature of 266 K (-7 °C). Before the test is carried out, the test vehicles shall be conditioned in a uniform manner to ensure that the test results may be reproducible. The conditioning and other test procedures are carried out as described in Annex 8 to this Regulation.
5.3.5.1.4. During the test, the exhaust gases are diluted and a proportional sample collected. The exhaust gases of the vehicle tested are diluted, sampled and analysed, following the procedure described in Annex 8 to this Regulation, and the total volume of the diluted exhaust is measured. The diluted exhaust gases are analysed for carbon monoxide and total hydrocarbons.
5.3.5.2. Subject to the requirements in paragraphs 5.3.5.2.2. and 5.3.5.3. the test shall be performed three times. The resulting mass of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emission shall be less than the limits shown in Table 2.

5.3.5.2.1. Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraph 5.3.5.2., for each pollutant, at least two of the three test results must be below the limit. One of the test results can exceed the limit but by no more than 10 per cent. The arithmetical mean value of the three test results for a pollutant must be below the prescribed limit. Where the prescribed limits are exceeded for more than one pollutant, it is immaterial whether this occurs in the same test or in different tests.
5.3.5.2.2. The number of tests prescribed in paragraph 5.3.5.2. may, at the request of the manufacturer, be increased to 10 if the arithmetical mean of the first three results is lower than 110 per cent of the limit. In this case, the requirement after testing is only that the arithmetical mean of all 10 results shall be less than the limit value.
5.3.5.3. The number of tests prescribed in paragraph 5.3.5.2. may be reduced according to paragraphs 5.3.5.3.1. and 5.3.5.3.2.
5.3.5.3.1. Only one test is performed if the result obtained for each pollutant of the first test is less than or equal to 0.70 L.
5.3.5.3.2. If the requirement of paragraph 5.3.5.3.1. is not satisfied, only two tests are performed if for each pollutant the result of the first test is less than or equal to 0.85 L and the sum of the first two results is less than or equal to 1.70 L and the result of the second test is less than or equal to L.
(V1 ≤ 0.85 L and V1 + V2 ≤ 1.70 L and V2 ≤ L).
5.3.6. Reserved
5.3.7. Emission data required for roadworthiness testing
5.3.7.1. This requirement applies to all vehicles powered by a positive ignition engine for which type approval is sought in accordance with this Regulation.
5.3.7.2. When tested in accordance with Annex 5 to this Regulation (Type 2 test) at normal idling speed:
(a) The carbon monoxide content by volume of the exhaust gases emitted shall be recorded; and
(b) The engine speed during the test shall be recorded, including any tolerances.
5.3.7.3. When tested at "high idle" speed (i. e. > 2,000 min-1)
(a) The carbon monoxide content by volume of the exhaust gases emitted shall be recorded;
(b) The Lambda value shall be recorded; and
(c) The engine speed during the test shall be recorded, including any tolerances.
The Lambda value shall be calculated using the simplified Brettschneider equation as follows:
A complex equation to calculate the lambda value using the concentration in per cent volume, the conversion for Non-Dispersive Infrared measurement to Flame Ionisation Detector measurement, the atomic ratio of hydrogen to carbon and the atomic ratio of oxygen to carbon.
Where:
[ ] = concentration in per cent volume,
K1 = conversion factor for Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) measurement to Flame Ionisation Detector (FID) measurement (provided by manufacturer of measuring equipment),
Hcv = Atomic ratio of hydrogen to carbon:
(a) for petrol (E10) 1.93;
(b) for LPG 2.53;
(c) for NG/biomethane 4.0;
(d) for ethanol (E85) 2.74;

(a) for petrol (E10) 0.033;
(b) for LPG 0.0;
(c) for NG/biomethane 0.0;
(d) for ethanol (E85) 0.39;
(e) for ethanol (E75) 0.329.
5.3.7.4. The engine oil temperature at the time of the test shall be measured and recorded.
5.3.7.5. The table of item 2.2. of the Addendum to Annex 2 to this Regulation shall be completed.
5.3.7.6. The manufacturer shall confirm the accuracy of the Lambda value recorded at the time of type approval in paragraph 5.3.7.3. as being representative of typical production vehicles within 24 months of the date of the granting of type approval by the type approval authority. An assessment shall be made based on surveys and studies of production vehicles.

7.2.1. Vehicles with different reference masses
7.2.1.1. The type approval shall be extended only to vehicles with a reference mass requiring the use of the next two higher equivalent inertia or any lower equivalent inertia.
7.2.1.2. For category N vehicles, the approval shall be extended only to vehicles with a lower reference mass, if the emissions of the vehicle already approved are within the limits prescribed for the vehicle for which extension of the approval is requested.
7.2.2. Vehicles with different overall transmission ratios
7.2.2.1. The type approval shall be extended to vehicles with different transmission ratios only under certain conditions.
7.2.2.2. To determine whether type approval can be extended, for each of the transmission ratios used in the Type 6 test, the proportion,
(E) = (V2 – V1)/V1
shall be determined where, at an engine speed of 1,000 min –1 , V1 is the speed of the vehicle-type approved and V2 is the speed of the vehicle type for which extension of the approval is requested.
7.2.2.3. If, for each transmission ratio, E ≤ 8 per cent, the extension shall be granted without repeating the Type 6 test.
7.2.2.4. If, for at least one transmission ratio, E > 8 per cent, and if, for each gear ratio, E ≤ 13 per cent, the Type 6 test shall be repeated. The tests may be performed in a laboratory chosen by the manufacturer subject to the approval of the Technical service. The report of the tests shall be sent to the Technical service responsible for the type approval tests.
7.2.3. Vehicles with different reference masses and transmission ratios
The type approval shall be extended to vehicles with different reference masses and transmission ratios, provided that all the conditions prescribed in paragraphs 7.2.1. and 7.2.2. are fulfilled.
