ANNEX XV

Point 1 of Annex V to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/654 is corrected as follows:

‘This Annex sets out the technical requirements relating to the area associated with the relevant NRSC, within which the amount by which the emissions shall be permitted to exceed the emission limits set out in Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 is controlled.

When an engine is tested in the manner set out in test requirements of section 4 the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants sampled at any randomly selected point within the applicable control area set out in section 2 shall not exceed the applicable emission limit values in Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 multiplied by a factor of 2,0.’;

‘The installation instructions provided by the manufacturer to the OEM in accordance with Annex XIV shall identify the upper and lower boundaries of the applicable control area and shall include a statement to clarify that the OEM shall not install the engine in such a way that it constrains the engine to operate permanently at only combinations of speed and torque outside of the control area for the torque curve corresponding to the approved engine type or engine family.’;

ANNEX XVI

Annex VI to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/654 is corrected as follows:

‘Where the governor installed on the engine is used the 100 % speed shall be the engine governed speed as defined in Article 1(24).’;

‘6.3.1.   Basis for emission measurement

The basis of specific emissions measurement is uncorrected net power as defined in Article 3(25) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1628.’;

‘The power absorbed by auxiliaries shall be used to adjust the set values and to calculate the work produced by the engine over the test cycle in accordance with point 7.7.1.3 or point 7.7.2.3(b).’;

  • ‘(a) the cold start run shall commence after either the engine and exhaust after-treatment systems have cooled down to room temperature after natural engine cool down, or after forced cool down, and the engine, coolant and oil temperatures, exhaust after-treatment systems and all engine control devices are stabilized between 293 K and 303 K (20 °C and 30 °C). The measurement of the emissions for this run shall be started with the start of the cold engine;’;
  • ‘(c) the hot-start run shall commence immediately after the soak period with the cranking of the engine. The gaseous analyzers shall be switched on at least 10 seconds before the end of the soak period to avoid switching signal peaks. The measurement of emissions for this run shall be started in parallel with the cranking of the engine.

Brake specific emissions expressed in (g/kWh), or number per kilowatt-hour (#/kWh) for PN, shall be determined by using the procedures set out in this section for both the cold start run and hot-start run of the test cycle. Composite weighted emissions shall be computed by weighting the cold-start run results by 10 % and the hot-start run results by 90 % as detailed in Annex VII.’;

‘The power recorded shall not exceed the rated power as defined in Article 3(27) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 by more than 12,5 %. If this value is exceeded the manufacturer shall revise the declared rated power.’;

‘max.torque is the maximum torque for the respective test speed taken from the engine mapping performed in accordance with point 7.6.2 adjusted where necessary in accordance with point 7.7.2.3(b).’;

‘However, if a PM mass of 400 μg or more is expected, then the sample media shall be stabilised for at least 60 min.’;

  • ‘(i) For removing background PM, the diluent shall be filtered with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters that have an initial minimum collection efficiency specification of 99,97 % (see Article 1(19) for procedures related to HEPA-filtration efficiencies);’;

‘For PM sampling, the already proportional flow coming from CVS goes through secondary dilution (one or more) to achieve the requested overall dilution ratio as shown in Figure 6.7 and set out in point 9.2.3.2;’;

‘These need to satisfy other criteria such as in points 8.1.8.6 (periodic calibration) and 8.2.1.2 (validation) for varying dilution PFD, and point 8.1.4.5 as well as Table 6.5 (linearity verification) and point 8.1.8.5.7 (verification) for constant dilution PFD.’;

‘The system may be used also for a previously diluted exhaust gas where, via a constant dilution-ratio, an already proportional flow is diluted (see Figure 6.7). This is the way of performing secondary dilution from a CVS tunnel to achieve the necessary overall dilution ratio for PM sampling.’;

‘The difference between the pre-test and post-test results shall be less than 2 % of full scale.’.

Annex VII to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/654 is corrected as follows:

‘Image omitted; see official source (7-59)’;

‘3.9.5.   CFV calibration

Some CFV flow meters consist of a single venturi and some consist of multiple venturis, where different combinations of venturis are used to meter different flow rates. For CFV flow meters that consist of multiple venturis, either calibration of each venturi independently to determine a separate discharge coefficient, C d, for each venturi, or calibration of each combination of venturis as one venturi may be performed. In the case where a combination of venturis is calibrated, the sum of the active venturi throat areas is used as A t, the square root of the sum of the squares of the active venturi throat diameters as d t, and the ratio of the venturi throat to inlet diameters is the ratio of the square root of the sum of the active venturi throat diameters (d t) to the diameter of the common entrance to all of the venturis (D). To determine the C d for a single venturi or a single combination of venturis, the following steps shall be performed:

  • (a) With the data collected at each calibration set point an individual C d for each point shall be calculated using equation (7-140);
  • (b) The mean and standard deviation of all the C d values shall be calculated in accordance with equations (7-155) and (7-156);
  • (c) If the standard deviation of all the C d values is less than or equal to 0,3 % of the mean C d, then the mean C d shall be used in equation (7-120), and the CFV shall be used only down to the lowest r measured during calibration;
r = 1 – (Δp/pin) (7-148)
  • (d) If the standard deviation of all the C d values exceeds 0,3 % of the mean C d, the C d values corresponding to the data point collected at the lowest r measured during calibration shall be omitted;
  • (e) If the number of remaining data points is less than seven, corrective action shall be taken by checking calibration data or repeating the calibration process. If the calibration process is repeated, checking for leaks, applying tighter tolerances to measurements and allowing more time for flows to stabilize, is recommended;
  • (f) If the number of remaining C d values is seven or greater, the mean and standard deviation of the remaining C d values shall be recalculated;
  • (g) If the standard deviation of the remaining C d values is less than or equal to 0,3 % of the mean of the remaining C d, that mean C d shall be used in equation (7-120) and the CFV values only down to the lowest r associated with the remaining C d shall be used;
  • (h) If the standard deviation of the remaining C d still exceeds 0,3 % of the mean of the remaining C d values, the steps set out in points (d) to (g) shall be repeated.’;
