4. APPROVAL

4.1. Universal fuel approval

A universal fuel approval is granted subject to the following requirements:

4.1.1. In the case of diesel fuel: if pursuant to paragraphs 3.1., 3.2. or 3.3. of this Regulation, the engine or vehicle meets the requirements of paragraphs 5, 6 and 7 below on the reference fuel specified in annex 5 of this Regulation, approval of that type of engine or vehicle must be granted.

In the case of natural gas the parent engine should demonstrate its capability to adapt to any fuel composition that may occur across the market. In the case of natural gas there are generally two types of fuel, high calorific fuel (H-gas) and low calorific fuel (L-gas), but with a significant spread within both ranges; they differ significantly in their energy content expressed by the Wobbe Index and in their λ-shift factor (Sλ). The formulae for the calculation of the Wobbe index and Sλ are given in paragraphs 2.25. and 2.26. Natural gases with a λ-shift factor between 0,89 and 1,08 (0,89 ≤ Sλ ≤ 1,08) are considered to belong to H-range, while natural gases with a λ-shift factor between 1,08 and 1,19 (1,08 ≤ Sλ ≤ 1,19) are considered to belong to L-range. The composition of the reference fuels reflects the extreme variations of Sλ.

The parent engine must meet the requirements of this Regulation on the reference fuels GR (fuel 1) and G25 (fuel 2), as specified in annex 6, without any readjustment to the fuelling between the two tests. However, one adaptation run over one ETC cycle without measurement is permitted after the change of the fuel. Before testing, the parent engine must be run-in using the procedure given in paragraph 3 of appendix 2 to annex 4.

4.1.2.1. On the manufacturer's request the engine may be tested on a third fuel (fuel 3) if the λ-shift factor (Sλ) lies between 0,89 (i.e. the lower range of GR) and 1,19 (i.e. the upper range of G25), for example when fuel 3 is a market fuel. The results of this test may be used as a basis for the evaluation of the conformity of production.

In the case of an engine fuelled with natural gas which is self-adaptive for the range of H-gases on the one hand and the range of L-gases on the other hand, and which switches between the H-range and the L-range by means of a switch, the parent engine must be tested at each position of the switch on the reference fuel relevant for the respective position as specified in annex 6 for each range. The fuels are GR (fuel 1) and G23 (fuel 3) for the H-range of gases and G25 (fuel 2) and G23 (fuel 3) for the L-range of gases. The parent engine must meet the requirements of this Regulation at both positions of the switch without any readjustment to the fuelling between the two tests at the respective position of the switch. However, one adaptation run over one ETC cycle without measurement is permitted after the change of the fuel. Before testing the parent engine must be run-in using the procedure given in paragraph 3 of appendix 2 to annex 4.

4.1.3.1. On the manufacturer's request the engine may be tested on a third fuel instead of G23 (fuel 3) if the λ-shift factor (Sλ) lies between 0,89 (i.e the lower range of GR) and 1,19 (i.e. the upper range of G25), for example when fuel 3 is a market fuel. The results of this test may be used as a basis for the evaluation of the conformity of the production.

4.1.4. In the case of natural gas engines, the ratio of emission results ‘r’ shall be determined for each pollutant as follows:

or,

and,

In the case of LPG the parent engine 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. These variations are reflected in the reference fuels. The parent engine should meet the emission requirements on the reference fuels A and B as specified in annex 7 without any readjustment to the fuelling between the two tests. However, one adaptation run over one ETC cycle without measurement is permitted, after the change of the fuel. Before testing the parent engine must be run-in using the procedure defined in paragraph 3 of appendix 2 to annex 4.

4.1.5.1. The ratio of emission results ‘r’ must be determined for each pollutant as follows:

4.2. Granting of a fuel range restricted approval

Fuel range restricted approval is granted subject to the following requirements:

Exhaust emissions approval of an engine running on natural gas and laid out for operation on either the range of H-gases or on the range of L-gases.

The parent engine must be tested on the relevant reference fuel as specified in annex 6 for the relevant range. The fuels are GR (fuel 1) and G23 (fuel 3) for the H-range of gases and G25 (fuel 2) and G23 (fuel 3) for the L-range of gases. The parent engine must meet the requirements of this Regulation without any readjustment to the fuelling between the two tests. However, one adaptation run over one ETC cycle without measurement is permitted after the change of the fuel. Before testing the parent engine must be run-in using the procedure defined in paragraph 3 of appendix 2 to annex 4.

4.2.1.1. On the manufacturer's request the engine may be tested on a third fuel instead of G23 (fuel 3) if the λ-shift factor (Sλ) lies between 0,89 (i.e. the lower range of GR) and 1,19 (i.e. the upper range of G25), for example when fuel 3 is a market fuel. The results of this test may be used as a basis for the evaluation of the conformity of the production.

4.2.1.2. The ratio of emission results ‘r’ must be determined for each pollutant as follows:

or,

and,

4.2.1.3. Upon delivery to the customer the engine must bear a label (see paragraph 4.11.) stating for which range of gases the engine is approved.

Exhaust emissions approval of an engine running on natural gas or LPG and laid out for operation on one specific fuel composition.

4.2.2.1. The parent engine must meet the emission requirements on the reference fuels GR and G25 in the case of natural gas, or the reference fuels A and B in the case of LPG, as specified in annex 7.

Between the tests fine-tuning of the fuelling system is allowed. This fine-tuning will consist of a recalibration of the fuelling database, without any alteration to either the basic control strategy or the basic structure of the database. If necessary the exchange of parts that are directly related to the amount of fuel flow (such as injector nozzles) is allowed.

4.2.2.2. On the manufacturer's request the engine may be tested on the reference fuels GR and G23, or on the reference fuels G25 and G23, in which case the approval is only valid for the H-range or the L-range of gases respectively.

4.2.2.3. Upon delivery to the customer the engine must bear a label (see paragraph 4.11.) stating for which fuel composition the engine has been calibrated.

4.10.1. the trademark or trade name of the manufacturer of the engine;

4.10.2. the manufacturer's commercial description.

4.11. Labels

In the case of NG and LPG fuelled engines with a fuel range restricted type approval, the following labels are applicable:

4.11.1. Content

The following information must be given:

In the case of paragraph 4.2.1.3, the label shall state ‘ONLY FOR USE WITH NATURAL GAS RANGE H’. If applicable, ‘H’ is replaced by ‘L’.

In the case of paragraph 4.2.2.3, the label shall state ‘ONLY FOR USE WITH NATURAL GAS SPECIFICATION …’ or ‘ONLY FOR USE WITH LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS SPECIFICATION …’, as applicable. All the information in the relevant table(s) in Annex 6 or 7 shall be given with the individual constituents and limits specified by the engine manufacturer.

The letters and figures must be at least 4 mm in height.

Note: If lack of space prevents such labelling, a simplified code may be used. In this event, explanatory notes containing all the above information must be easily accessible to any person filling the fuel tank or performing maintenance or repair on the engine and its accessories, as well as to the authorities concerned. The site and content of these explanatory notes will be determined by agreement between the manufacturer and the approval authority.

4.11.2. Properties

Labels must be durable for the useful life of the engine. Labels must be clearly legible and their letters and figures must be indelible. Additionally, labels must be attached in such a manner that their fixing is durable for the useful life of the engine, and the labels cannot be removed without destroying or defacing them.

4.11.3. Placing

Labels must be secured to an engine part necessary for normal engine operation and not normally requiring replacement during engine life. Additionally, these labels must be located so as to be readily visible to the average person after the engine has been completed with all the auxiliaries necessary for engine operation.

4.12. In case of an application for type-approval for a vehicle type in respect of its engine, the marking specified in paragraph 4.11. must also be placed close to fuel filling aperture.

4.13. In case of an application for type-approval for a vehicle type with an approved engine, the marking specified in paragraph 4.11. must also be placed close to the fuel filling aperture.

5. SPECIFICATIONS AND TESTS

5.1. General

5.1.1. Emission control equipment

5.1.1.1. The components liable to affect the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants from diesel engines and the emission of gaseous pollutants from gas engines shall be so designed, constructed, assembled and installed as to enable the engine, in normal use, to comply with the provisions of this Regulation.

5.1.2. Functions of emission control equipment

5.1.2.1. The use of a defeat device and/or an irrational emission control strategy is forbidden.

An auxiliary control device may be installed to an engine, or on a vehicle, provided that the device:

5.1.2.2.1. operates only outside the conditions specified in paragraph 5.1.2.4., or

5.1.2.2.2. is activated only temporarily under the conditions specified in paragraph 5.1.2.4. for such purposes as engine damage protection, air-handling device protection, smoke management, cold start or warming-up, or

5.1.2.2.3. is activated only by on-board signals for purposes such as operational safety and limp-home strategies;

5.1.2.3. An engine control device, function, system or measure that operates during the conditions specified in paragraph 5.1.2.4. and which results in the use of a different or modified engine control strategy to that normally employed during the applicable emission test cycles will be permitted if, in complying with the requirements of paragraphs 5.1.3. and/or 5.1.4., it is fully demonstrated that the measure does not reduce the effectiveness of the emission control system. In all other cases, such devices shall be considered to be a defeat device.

5.1.2.4. For the purposes of paragraph 5.1.2.2., the defined conditions of use under steady state and transient conditions are:

(i)	an altitude not exceeding 1 000 metres (or equivalent atmospheric pressure of 90 kPa),

(ii)	an ambient temperature within the range 283 to 303 K (10 to 30 °C),

(iii)

engine coolant temperature within the range 343 to 368 K (70 to 95 °C).

5.1.3. Special requirements for electronic emission control systems

5.1.3.1. Documentation requirements

The manufacturer shall provide a documentation package that gives access to the basic design of the system and the means by which it controls its output variables, whether that control is direct or indirect.

The documentation shall be made available in two parts:

(a)

The formal documentation package, which shall be supplied to the technical service at the time of submission of the type-approval application, shall include a full description of the system. This documentation may be brief, provided that it exhibits evidence that all outputs permitted by a matrix obtained from the range of control of the individual unit inputs have been identified. This information shall be attached to the documentation required in paragraph 3 of this Regulation.

(b)

Additional material that shows the parameters that are modified by any auxiliary control device and the boundary conditions under which the device operates. The additional material shall include a description of the fuel system control logic, timing strategies and switch points during all modes of operation.

The additional material shall also contain a justification for the use of any auxiliary control device and include additional material and test data to demonstrate the effect on exhaust emissions of any auxiliary control device installed to the engine or on the vehicle.

This additional material shall remain strictly confidential and be retained by the manufacturer, but be made open for inspection at the time of type-approval or at any time during the validity of the type-approval.

To verify whether any strategy or measure should be considered a defeat device or an irrational emission control strategy according to the definitions given in paragraphs 2.28. and 2.30., the type-approval authority and/or the technical service may additionally request a NOx screening test using the ETC which may be carried out in combination with either the type-approval test or the procedures for checking the conformity of production.

5.1.4.1. As an alternative to the requirements of appendix 4 to annex 4 to this Regulation, the emissions of NOx during the ETC screening test may be sampled using the raw exhaust gas and the technical prescriptions of ISO FDIS 16 183, dated 15 September 2001, shall be followed.

5.1.4.2. In verifying whether any strategy or measure should be considered a defeat device or an irrational emission control strategy according to the definitions given in paragraphs 2.28. and 2.30., an additional margin of 10 per cent, related to the appropriate NOx limit value, shall be accepted.

For approval to row A of the tables in paragraph 5.2.1., the emissions must be determined on the ESC and ELR tests with conventional diesel engines including those fitted with electronic fuel injection equipment, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), and/or oxidation catalysts. Diesel engines fitted with advanced exhaust after-treatment systems including deNOx catalysts and/or particulate traps, must additionally be tested on the ETC test.

For approval testing to either row B1 or B2 or row C of the tables in paragraph 5.2.1. the emissions must be determined on the ESC, ELR and ETC tests.

For gas engines, the gaseous emissions must be determined on the ETC test.

The ESC and ELR test procedures are described in annex 4, appendix 1, the ETC test procedure in annex 4, Appendices 2 and 3.

The emissions of gaseous pollutants and particulate pollutants, by the engine submitted for testing, if applicable, must be measured by the method described in annex 4. Annex 4, appendix 4 describes the recommended analytical systems for the gaseous and particulate pollutants and the recommended particulate sampling systems. Other systems or analysers may be approved by the technical service if it is found that they yield equivalent results. For a single laboratory, equivalency is defined as the test results to fall within ± 5 per cent of the test results of one of the reference systems described herein. For particulate emissions only the full-flow dilution system is recognized as the reference system. For introduction of a new system into the Regulation, the determination of equivalency must be based upon the calculation of repeatability and reproducibility by an inter-laboratory test, as described in ISO 5725.

5.2.1. Limit Values

The specific mass of the carbon monoxide, of the total hydrocarbons, of the oxides of nitrogen and of the particulates, as determined on the ESC test, and of the smoke opacity, as determined on the ELR test, must not exceed the amounts shown in Table 1.

For diesel engines that are additionally tested on the ETC test, and specifically for gas engines, the specific masses of the carbon monoxide, of the non-methane hydrocarbons, of the methane (where applicable), of the oxides of nitrogen and of the particulates (where applicable) must not exceed the amounts shown in Table 2.

5.2.2. Hydrocarbon measurement for diesel and gas fuelled engines

5.2.2.1. A manufacturer may choose to measure the mass of total hydrocarbons (THC) on the ETC test instead of measuring the mass of non-methane hydrocarbons. In this case, the limit for the mass of total hydrocarbons is the same as shown in table 2 for the mass of non-methane hydrocarbons.

5.2.3. Specific requirements for diesel engines

5.2.3.1. The specific mass of the oxides of nitrogen measured at the random check points within the control area of the ESC test must not exceed by more than 10 per cent the values interpolated from the adjacent test modes (reference annex 4, appendix 1 paragraphs 4.6.2. and 4.6.3.).

5.2.3.2. The smoke value on the random test speed of the ELR must not exceed the highest smoke value of the two adjacent test speeds by more than 20 per cent, or by more than 5 per cent of the limit value, whichever is greater.

6. INSTALLATION ON THE VEHICLE

The engine installation on the vehicle shall comply with the following characteristics in respect to the type approval of the engine:

6.1.1. Intake depression shall not exceed that specified for the type approved engine in annex 2A.

6.1.2. Exhaust back-pressure shall not exceed that specified for the type approved engine in annex 2A.

6.1.3. Power absorbed by the auxiliaries needed for operating the engine must not exceed that specified for the type-approved engine in annex 2A.

7. ENGINE FAMILY

7.1. Parameters defining the engine family

The engine family, as determined by the engine manufacturer, may be defined by basic characteristics, which must be common to engines within the family. In some cases there may be interaction of parameters. These effects must also be taken into consideration to ensure that only engines with similar exhaust emission characteristics are included within an engine family.

In order that engines may be considered to belong to the same engine family, the following list of basic parameters must be common:

7.1.1. Combustion cycle:

—

2 cycle

—

4 cycle

7.1.2. Cooling medium:

—

air

—

water

—

oil

7.1.3. For gas engines and engines with after-treatment

—	Number of cylinders

(other diesel engines with fewer cylinders than the parent engine may be considered to belong to the same engine family provided the fuelling system meters fuel for each individual cylinder).

7.1.4. Individual cylinder displacement:

—	engines to be within a total spread of 15 per cent

7.1.5. Method of air aspiration:

—	naturally aspirated

—	pressure charged

—	pressure charged with charge air cooler

7.1.6. Combustion chamber type/design:

—	pre-chamber

—	swirl chamber

—	open chamber

7.1.7. Valve and porting — configuration, size and number:

—	cylinder head

—	cylinder wall

—

crankcase

7.1.8. Fuel injection system (diesel engines):

—	pump-line-injector

—	in-line pump

—	distributor pump

—	single element

—	unit injector

7.1.9. Fuelling system (gas engines):

—	mixing unit

—	gas induction/injection (single point, multi-point)

—	liquid injection (single point, multi-point)

7.1.10. Ignition system (gas engines)

—	secondary air injection

—	charge cooling system

7.1.12. Exhaust after treatment:

—	3-way-catalyst

—	oxidation catalyst

—	reduction catalyst

—	thermal reactor

—	particulate trap

7.2. Choice of the parent engine

7.2.1. Diesel engines

The parent engine of the family must be selected using the primary criteria of the highest fuel delivery per stroke at the declared maximum torque speed. In the event that two or more engines share this primary criteria, the parent engine must be selected using the secondary criteria of highest fuel delivery per stroke at rated speed. Under certain circumstances, the approval authority may conclude that the worst case emission rate of the family can best be characterised by testing a second engine. Thus, the approval authority may select an additional engine for test based upon features, which indicate that it may have the highest emission level of the engines within that family.

If engines within the family incorporate other variable features, which could be considered to affect exhaust emissions, these features must also be identified and taken into account in the selection of the parent engine.

7.2.2. Gas engines

The parent engine of the family must be selected using the primary criteria of the largest displacement. In the event that two or more engines share this primary criteria, the parent engine must be selected using the secondary criteria in the following order:

—	the highest fuel delivery per stroke at the speed of declared rated power;

—	the most advanced spark timing;

—	the lowest EGR rate;

—	no air pump or lowest actual air flow pump.

Under certain circumstances, the approval authority may conclude that the worst case emission rate of the family can best be characterised by testing a second engine. Thus, the approval authority may select an additional engine for test based upon features, which indicate that it may have the highest emission level of the engines within that family.

8. CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION

The conformity of production procedures shall comply with those set out in the Agreement, appendix 2 (E/ECE/324-E/ECE/TRANS/505/Rev.2), with the following requirements:

8.1. Every engine or vehicle bearing an approval mark as prescribed under this Regulation shall be so manufactured as to conform, with regard to the description as given in the approval form and its annexes, to the approved type.

8.2. As a general rule, conformity of production with regard to limitation of emissions is checked based on the description given in the communication form and its annexes.

If emissions of pollutants are to be measured and an engine approval has had one or several extensions, the tests will be carried out on the engine(s) described in the information package relating to the relevant extension.

Conformity of the engine subjected to a pollutant test:

After submission of the engine to the authorities, the manufacturer must not carry out any adjustment to the engines selected.

8.3.1.1. Three engines are randomly taken in the series. Engines that are subject to testing only on the ESC and ELR tests or only on the ETC test for approval to row A of the tables in paragraph 5.2.1. are subject to those applicable tests for the checking of production conformity. With the agreement of the authority, all other engines approved to row A, B1 or B2, or C of the tables in paragraph 5.2.1. are subjected to testing either on the ESC and ELR cycles or on the ETC cycle for the checking of the production conformity. The limit values are given in paragraph 5.2.1. of the Regulation.

8.3.1.2. The tests are carried out according to appendix 1 to this Regulation, where the competent authority is satisfied with the production standard deviation given by the manufacturer.

The tests are carried out according to appendix 2 to this Regulation, where the competent authority is not satisfied with the production standard deviation given by the manufacturer.

At the manufacturer's request, the tests may be carried out in accordance with appendix 3 to this Regulation.

8.3.1.3. On the basis of a test of the engine by sampling, the production of a series is regarded as conforming where a pass decision is reached for all the pollutants and non conforming where a fail decision is reached for one pollutant, in accordance with the test criteria applied in the appropriate appendix.

When a pass decision has been reached for one pollutant, this decision may not be changed by any additional tests made in order to reach a decision for the other pollutants.

If no pass decision is reached for all the pollutants and if no fail decision is reached for one pollutant, a test is carried out on another engine (see figure 2).

If no decision is reached, the manufacturer may at any time decide to stop testing. In that case a fail decision is recorded.

The tests will be carried out on newly manufactured engines. Gas fuelled engines must be run-in using the procedure defined in paragraph 3 of appendix 2 to annex 4.

8.3.2.1. However, at the request of the manufacturer, the tests may be carried out on diesel or gas engines which have been run-in more than the period referred to in paragraph 8.4.2.2., up to a maximum of 100 hours. In this case, the running-in procedure will be conducted by the manufacturer who must undertake not to make any adjustments to those engines.

8.3.2.2. When the manufacturer asks to conduct a running-in procedure in accordance with paragraph 8.4.2.2.1., it may be carried out on:

—	all the engines that are tested,

or,

—

the first engine tested, with the determination of an evolution coefficient as follows:

—	the pollutant emissions will be measured at zero and at ‘x’ hours on the first engine tested,

—	the evolution coefficient of the emissions between zero and ‘x’ hours will be calculated for each pollutant:

It may be less than one.

The subsequent test engines will not be subjected to the running-in procedure, but their zero hour emissions will be modified by the evolution coefficient.

In this case, the values to be taken will be:

—	the values at ‘x’ hours for the first engine,

—	the values at zero hour multiplied by the evolution coefficient for the other engines.

8.3.2.3. For diesel and LPG fuelled engines, all these tests may be conducted with commercial fuel. However, at the manufacturer's request, the reference fuels described in annexes 5 or 7 may be used. This implies tests, as described in paragraph 4. of this Regulation, with at least two of the reference fuels for each gas engine.

8.3.2.4. For NG fuelled engines, all these tests may be conducted with commercial fuel in the following way:

(i)	for H marked engines with a commercial fuel within the H range (0,89 ≤ Sλ ≤ 1,00);

(ii)	for L marked engines with a commercial fuel within the L range (1,00 ≤ Sλ ≤ 1,19);

(iii)

for HL marked engines with a commercial fuel within the extreme range of the λ-shift factor (0,89 ≤ Sλ ≤ 1,19).

However, at the manufacturer's request, the reference fuels described in annex 6 may be used. This implies tests, as described in paragraph 4. of this Regulation.

8.3.2.5. In the case of dispute caused by the non-compliance of gas fuelled engines when using a commercial fuel, the tests must be performed with a reference fuel on which the parent engine has been tested, or with the possible additional fuel 3 as referred to in paragraphs 4.1.3.1. and 4.2.1.1., on which the parent engine may have been tested. Then, the result has to be converted by a calculation applying the relevant factor(s) ‘r’, ‘ra’ or ‘rb’ as described in paragraphs 4.1.3.2., 4.1.5.1. and 4.2.1.2. If r, ra or rb are less than 1 no correction must take place. The measured results and the calculated results must demonstrate that the engine meets the limit values with all relevant fuels (fuels 1, 2 and, if applicable, fuel 3 in the case of natural gas engines and fuels A and B in the case of LPG engines).

8.3.2.6. Tests for conformity of production of a gas fuelled engine laid out for operation on one specific fuel composition must be performed on the fuel for which the engine has been calibrated.

Appendix 1

PROCEDURE FOR PRODUCTION CONFORMITY TESTING WHEN STANDARD DEVIATION IS SATISFACTORY

1. This appendix describes the procedure to be used to verify production conformity for the emissions of pollutants when the manufacturer's production standard deviation is satisfactory.

2. With a minimum sample size of three engines, the sampling procedure is set so that the probability of a lot passing a test with 40 per cent of the engines defective is 0,95 (producer's risk = 5 per cent), while the probability of a lot being accepted with 65 per cent of the engines defective is 0,10 (consumer's risk = 10 per cent).

3. The following procedure is used for each of the pollutants given in paragraph 5.2.1. of the Regulation (see Figure 2):

Let:

L	=	the natural logarithm of the limit value for the pollutant;
xi	=	the natural logarithm of the measurement for the i-th engine of the sample;
s	=	an estimate of the production standard deviation (after taking the natural logarithm of the measurements);
n	=	the current sample number.

4. For each sample the sum of the standardised deviations to the limit is calculated using the following formula:

5. Then:

—	if the test statistic result is greater than the pass decision number for the sample size given in table 3, a pass decision is reached for the pollutant;

—	if the test statistic result is less than the fail decision number for the sample size given in table 3, a fail decision is reached for the pollutant;

—	otherwise, an additional engine is tested according to paragraph 8.3.1. of the Regulation and the calculation procedure is applied to the sample increased by one more unit.

Appendix 2

PROCEDURE FOR PRODUCTION CONFORMITY TESTING WHEN STANDARD DEVIATION IS UNSATISFACTORY OR UNAVAILABLE

1. This appendix describes the procedure to be used to verify production conformity for the emissions of pollutants when the manufacturer's production standard deviation is either unsatisfactory or unavailable.

3. The values of the pollutants given in paragraph 5.2.1. of the Regulation are considered to be log normally distributed and should be transformed by taking their natural logarithms.

Let m0 and m denote the minimum and maximum sample size respectively (m0 = 3 and m = 32) and let n denote the current sample number.

4. If the natural logarithms of the values measured in the series are x1, x2, …, xi and L is the natural logarithm of the limit value for the pollutant, then, define

and,

di = xi – L

5. Table 4 shows values of the pass (An) and fail (Bn) decision numbers against current sample number. The test statistic result is the ratio

and must be used to determine whether the series has passed or failed as follows:

For m0 ≤ n ≤ m:

—	pass the series if

—	fail the series if

—	take another measurement if

6. Remarks:

The following recursive formulae are useful for calculating successive values of the test statistic:

Appendix 3

PROCEDURE FOR PRODUCTION CONFORMITY TESTING AT MANUFACTURER'S REQUEST

1. This appendix describes the procedure to be used to verify, at the manufacturer's request, production conformity for the emissions of pollutants.

2. With a minimum sample size of three engines, the sampling procedure is set so that the probability of a lot passing a test with 30 per cent of the engines defective is 0,90 (producer's risk = 10 per cent), while the probability of a lot being accepted with 65 per cent of the engines defective is 0,10 (consumer's risk = 10 per cent).

3. The following procedure is used for each of the pollutants given in paragraph 5.2.1. of the Regulation (see figure 2):

Let:

L	=	the limit value for the pollutant,
xi	=	the value of the measurement for the i-th engine of the sample,
n	=	the current sample number.

4. Calculate for the sample the test statistic quantifying the number of non-conforming engines, i.e. xi ≥ L:

5. Then:

—	if the test statistic is less than or equal to the pass decision number for the sample size given in table 5, a pass decision is reached for the pollutant;

—	if the test statistic is greater than or equal to the fail decision number for the sample size given in table 5, a fail decision is reached for the pollutant;

—	otherwise, an additional engine is tested according to paragraph 8.3.1. of the Regulation and the calculation procedure is applied to the sample increased by one more unit.

In table 5 the pass and fail decision numbers are calculated by means of the International Standard ISO 8422:1991.
