(4) A taximeter shall be able to supply the following data through an appropriate secured interface(s): - — operation position: ‘For Hire’, ‘Hired’ or ‘Stopped’; - — totaliser data according to paragraph 15.1; - — general information: constant of the distance signal generator, date of securing, taxi identifier, real time, identification of the tariff; - — fare information for a trip: total charged, fare, calculation of the fare, supplement charge, date, start time, finish time, distance travelled; - — tariff(s) information: parameters of tariff(s). Where a device is required to be connected to the interface(s) of a taximeter, it shall be possible, by way of a secured setting, to inhibit automatically the operation of the taximeter for reasons of the non-presence or improper functioning of the required device. (5) If relevant, it shall be possible to adjust a taximeter for the constant of the distance signal generator to which it is to be connected and to secure the adjustment. RATED OPERATING CONDITIONS (6) The mechanical environment class that applies is M3. (6) The manufacturer shall specify the rated operating conditions for the instrument, in particular: - — a minimum temperature range of 80 °C for the climatic environment; - — the limits of the DC power supply for which the instrument has been designed. MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE ERRORS (MPEs) (7) The MPE, excluding any errors due to application of the taximeter in a taxi, are: - — For the time elapsed: ± 0.1 % - minimum value of mpe: 0.2 s; - minimum value of mpe: 4 m; - minimum, including rounding: corresponding to the least significant digit of the fare indication. PERMISSIBLE EFFECT OF DISTURBANCES (8) Electromagnetic immunity (8) The electromagnetic class that applies is E3. (8) The MPE laid down in paragraph 7 shall also be respected in the presence of an electromagnetic disturbance. POWER SUPPLY FAILURE (9) In case of a reduction of the voltage supply to a value below the lower operating limit as specified by the manufacturer, the taximeter shall: - — continue to work correctly or resume its correct functioning without loss of data available before the voltage drop if the voltage drop is temporary, i.e. due to restarting the engine; - — abort an existing measurement and return to the position ‘For Hire’ if the voltage drop is for a longer period. OTHER REQUIREMENTS (10) The conditions for the compatibility between the taximeter and the distance signal generator shall be specified by the manufacturer of the taximeter. (11) If there is a supplement charge for an extra service, entered by the driver on manual command, this shall be excluded from the fare displayed. However, in that case a taximeter may display temporarily the value of the fare including the supplementary charge. (12) If the fare is calculated according to calculation mode D a taximeter may have an additional display mode in which only the total distance and duration of the trip are displayed in real time. (13) All values displayed for the passenger shall be suitably identified. These values as well as their identification shall be clearly readable under daylight and night conditions. (14) If the fare to be paid or the measures to be taken against fraudulent use can be affected by the choice of functionality from a pre-programmed setting or by free data setting, it shall be possible to secure the instrument settings and data entered. (14) The securing possibilities available in a taximeter shall be such that separate securing of the settings is possible. (14) The provisions in paragraph 8.3 of Schedule 1A apply also to the tariffs. (15) A taximeter shall be fitted with non-resettable totalisers for all of the following values: - — The total distance travelled by the taxi; - — The total distance travelled when hired; - — The total number of hirings; - — The total amount of money charged as supplements; - — The total amount of money charged as fare. The totalised values shall include the values saved according to paragraph 9 under conditions of loss of power supply. (15) If disconnected from power, a taximeter shall allow the totalised values to be stored for one year for the purpose of reading out the values from the taximeter to another medium. (15) Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent the display of totalised values from being used to deceive passengers. (16) Automatic change of tariffs is allowed due to the: - — distance of the trip; - — duration of the trip; - — time of the day; - — date; - — day of the week. (17) If properties of the taxi are important for the correctness of the taximeter, the taximeter shall provide means to secure the connection of the taximeter to the taxi in which it is installed. (18) For the purpose of testing after installation, the taximeter shall be equipped with the possibility to test separately the accuracy of time and distance measurement and the accuracy of the calculation. (19) A taximeter and its installation instructions specified by the manufacturer shall be such that, if installed according to the manufacturer's instructions, fraudulent alterations of the measurement signal representing the distance travelled are sufficiently excluded. (20) The general essential requirement dealing with fraudulent use shall be fulfilled in such a way that the interests of the customer, the driver, the driver's employer and the fiscal authorities are protected. (21) A taximeter shall be designed so that it can respect the MPEs without adjustment during a period of one year of normal use. (22) The taximeter shall be equipped with a real-time clock by means of which the time of the day and the date are kept, one or both can be used for automatic change of tariffs. The requirements for the real-time clock are: - — the timekeeping shall have an accuracy of 0.02 %; - — the correction possibility of the clock shall be not more than 2 minutes per week. Correction for summer and wintertime shall be performed automatically; - — correction, automatic or manually, during a trip shall be prevented. (23) The values of distance travelled and time elapsed, when displayed or printed in accordance with these Regulations, shall use the following units: Distance travelled: - — kilometres; - — miles. Time elapsed: — seconds, minutes or hours, as may be suitable; keeping in mind the necessary resolution and the need to prevent misunderstandings. CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT The conformity assessment procedures specified in the modules in Schedule 1B applicable to taximeters that the manufacturer can choose between are: (a) B and F; (b) B and D; or (c) H1. SCHEDULE 1I The relevant essential requirements of Schedule 1A, the specific requirements of this Schedule and the conformity assessment procedures listed in this chapter, apply to material measures of length defined below. However, the requirement for the supply of a copy of declarations of conformity may be interpreted as applying to a batch or consignment rather than each individual instrument. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS (1) For tapes of length equal to or greater than 5 metres, the maximum permissible errors (MPEs) are to be met when a tractive force of fifty newtons or other force values as specified by the manufacturer and marked on the tape accordingly, or in the case of rigid or semi-rigid measures no tractive force is needed, is applied. (1) The reference temperature is 20 °C unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer and marked on the measure accordingly. (2) The MPE, positive or negative in mm, between two non-consecutive scale marks is (a + bL), where: - — L is the value of the length rounded up to the next whole metre; and - — a and b are given in Table 1 below. When a terminal interval is bounded by a surface, the MPE for any distance beginning at this point is increased by the value c given in Table 1.

The MPE for the length between consecutive scale marks, and the maximum permissible difference between two consecutive intervals, are given in Table 2 below.

Where a rule is of the folding type, the jointing shall be such as not to cause any errors, supplementary to those above, exceeding: 0.3 mm for Class II, and 0.5 mm for Class III.

(3) Materials used for material measures shall be such that length variations due to temperature excursions up to ± 8 °C about the reference temperature do not exceed the MPE. (3) Measures made from material whose dimensions may alter materially when subjected to a wide range of relative humidity, may only be included in Classes II or III. (4) The nominal value shall be marked on the measure. Millimetre scales shall be numbered every centimetre and measures with a scale interval greater than 2 cm shall have all scale marks numbered. CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT The conformity assessment procedures specified in the modules in Schedule 1B applicable to material measures of length that the manufacturer can choose between are: (a) F1; (b) D1; (c) B and D; (d) H; or (e) G. The relevant essential requirements of Schedule 1A, and the specific requirements and the conformity assessment procedures listed in this chapter, apply to capacity serving measures defined below. However, the requirement for the supply of a copy of declarations of conformity may be interpreted as applying to a batch or consignment rather than each individual instrument. Also, the requirement for the instrument to bear information in respect of its accuracy shall not apply. DEFINITIONS

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS (1) (1) Temperature: the reference temperature for measurement of capacity is 20 °C. (1) Position for correct indication: free standing on a level surface. (2)

(3) Capacity serving measures shall be made of material which is sufficiently rigid and dimensionally stable to maintain capacity within the MPE. (4) (4) Transfer measures shall be designed so that a change of contents equal to the MPE causes a change in level of at least 2 mm at the brim or filling mark. (4) Transfer measures shall be designed so that the complete discharge of the liquid being measured will not be impeded. (5) (5) The nominal capacity declared shall be clearly and indelibly marked on the measure. (5) Capacity serving measures may also be marked with up to three clearly distinguishable capacities, none of which shall lead to confusion one to the other. (5) All filling marks shall be sufficiently clear and durable to ensure that MPEs are not exceeded in use. CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT The conformity assessment procedures specified in the modules in Schedule 1B applicable to capacity serving measures that the manufacturer can choose between are: (a) A2; (b) F1; (c) D1; (d) E1; (e) B and E; (f) B and D; or (g) H. SCHEDULE 1J The relevant requirements of Schedule 1A, the specific requirements of this Schedule and the conformity assessment procedures listed in this Schedule, apply to exhaust gas analysers to the extent that they are also regulated measuring instruments. The volume fractions of the exhaust gas components are expressed as a percentage (% vol) for carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO₂) and oxygen (O₂) and in parts per million (ppm vol) for hydrocarbons (HC). The content of HC has to be expressed as concentration of n-hexane (C₆H₁₄), measured with near-infrared absorption techniques. DEFINITIONS

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS (1) Two classes (0 and I) are being defined for exhaust gas analysers. The relevant minimum measuring ranges for these classes are shown in Table 1.

(2) The values of the operating conditions shall be specified by the manufacturer as follows: (2) For the climatic and mechanical influence quantities: - — a minimum temperature range of 35 °C for the climatic environment; - — the mechanical environment class that applies is M1. (2) For the electrical power influence quantities: - — the voltage and frequency range for the AC voltage supply - — the limits of the DC voltage supply. (2) For the ambient pressure: — the minimum and the maximum values of the ambient pressure are for both classes: pmin ≤ 860 hPa, pmax ≥ 1,060 hPa. (3) The MPEs are defined as follows: (3) For each of the fractions measured, the maximum error value permitted under rated operating conditions according to paragraph 1.1 of Schedule 1A is the greater of the two values shown in Table 2. Absolute values are expressed in % vol or ppm vol, percentage values are percent of the true value.

(3) The MPE on lambda calculation is 0.3 %. The conventional true value is calculated according to the formula set out in point 5.3.7.3 of Regulation No 83 of the Economic Commission for Europe of the United Nations (UN/ECE). For this purpose, the values displayed by the instrument are used for calculation. (4) For each of the volume fractions measured by the instrument, the critical change value is equal to the MPE for the parameter concerned. (5) The effect of an electromagnetic disturbance shall be such that: - — either the change in the measurement result is not greater than the critical change value laid down in paragraph 4; or - — the presentation of the measurement result is such that it cannot be taken for a valid result. (6) The resolution shall be equal to or of one order of magnitude higher than the values shown in Table 3.

The lambda value shall be displayed with a resolution of 0.001.
The standard deviation of 20 measurements shall not be greater than one third of the modulus of the MPE for each applicable gas volume fraction.

(8) For measuring CO, CO₂ and HC, the instrument, including the specified gas handling system, must indicate 95 % of the final value as determined with calibration gases within 15 seconds after changing from a gas with zero content, e.g. fresh air. For measuring O₂, the instrument under similar conditions must indicate a value differing less than 0.1 % vol from zero within 60 seconds after changing from fresh air to an oxygen-free gas. (9) The components in the exhaust gas, other than the components whose values are subject to the measurement, shall not affect the measurement results by more than the half of the modulus of the MPEs when those components are present in the following maximum volume fractions: - 6 % vol CO, - 16 % vol CO₂, - 10 % vol O₂, - 5 % vol H₂, - 0.3 % vol NO, - 2,000 ppm vol HC (as n-hexane), water vapour up to saturation. (10) An exhaust gas analyser shall have an adjustment facility that provides operations for zero-setting, gas calibration and internal adjustment. The adjustment facility for zero-setting and internal adjustment shall be automatic. (11) For automatic or semi-automatic adjustment facilities, the instrument shall be unable to make a measurement as long as the adjustments have not been made. (12) An exhaust gas analyser shall detect hydrocarbon residues in the gas handling system. It shall not be possible to carry out a measurement if the hydrocarbon residues, present before any measurement, exceed 20 ppm vol. (13) An exhaust gas analyser shall have a device for automatically recognising any malfunctioning of the sensor of the oxygen channel due to wear or a break in the connecting line. (14) If the exhaust gas analyser is capable to operate with different fuels (e.g. petrol or liquefied gas), there shall be the possibility to select the suitable coefficients for the Lambda calculation without ambiguity concerning the appropriate formula. CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT The conformity assessment procedures specified in the modules in Schedule 1B applicable to exhaust gas analysers that the manufacturer can choose between are: (a) B and F; (b) B and D; o (c) H1. SCHEDULE 1K (1) Instrument model/instrument (product, type, batch or serial number): (2) Name and address of the manufacturer and, where applicable, his authorised representative: (3) This declaration of conformity is issued under the sole responsibility of the manufacturer. (4) Object of the declaration (identification of the instrument allowing traceability; it may, where necessary for the identification of the instrument, include an image): (5) The object of the declaration described above is in conformity with the relevant statutory requirements: (6) References to the relevant designated standards or normative documents used or references to the other technical specifications in relation to which conformity is declared: (7) The approved body (name, number) performed … (description of intervention) and issued the certificate: (8) Additional information: Signed for and on behalf of: (place and date of issue): (name, function) (signature):
