Annex XI is amended as follows:

(a)

the following points 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 are inserted:

‘2.3.3.

The OBD thresholds limits for vehicles that are type approved according to the Euro 6 emission limits set out in Table 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 from three years after the dates given in Article 10(4) and 10(5) of that Regulation are given in the following table:

Final Euro 6 OBD threshold limits
Key: PI = Positive Ignition, CI = Compression Ignition.
		Reference mass(RM)(kg)	Mass of carbon monoxide		Mass of non-methane hydrocarbons		Mass of oxides of nitrogen		Mass of particulate matter		Number of particles
			(CO)(mg/km)		(NMHC)(mg/km)		(NOx)(mg/km)		(PM)(mg/km)		(PN)(#/km)

N2	—	All	4 300	2 500	270	350	120	220	12	12

Explanatory note:

The OBD thresholds set out in the table are subject to a review to be conducted by the Commission by 1 September 2014. Where the thresholds appear to be not technically feasible, their values or the mandatory date of application are to be amended accordingly, considering the effects of other new requirements and tests that will be introduced for Euro 6 vehicles. Where the review shows an environmental need as well as technical feasibility and a net monetised benefit, more stringent values need to be adopted and OBD threshold limits for particle numbers or, where applicable, other regulated pollutants introduced. In doing so, appropriate lead time for introducing the technical developments has to be given to the industry.

2.3.4.

Until three years after the dates specified in Article 10(4) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 for new type approvals and new vehicles respectively, the following OBD threshold limits shall be applied to vehicles that are type approved according to the Euro 6 emission limits set out in Table 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, upon the choice of the manufacturer:

(b)

point 2.14 is replaced by the following:

‘2.14. Contrary to point 3.3.5 of Annex 11 to UN/ECE Regulation No 83, the following devices shall be monitored for total failure or removal if the latter resulted in exceeding the applicable emission limits:

• as from 1 September 2011, a particulate trap fitted to compression ignition engines as a separate unit or integrated into a combined emission control device,

• for vehicles certified against either the OBD threshold limits shown in the tables set out in point 2.3.3 or 2.3.4, a NO_x aftertreatment system fitted to compression ignition engines as a separate unit or integrated into a combined emission control device,

• for vehicles certified against either the OBD threshold limits shown in the tables set out in point 2.3.3 or 2.3.4, a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) fitted to compression ignition engines as a separate unit or integrated into a combined emission control device.

The devices referred to in the first paragraph shall also be monitored for any failure that would result in exceeding the applicable OBD threshold limits.’;

(c)

in point 3.1.5 of Appendix 1, the following sentence is added:

‘For new type approvals and new vehicles the monitor required by point 2.9 of this Annex shall have an IUPR greater or equal to 0,1 until three years after the dates specified in Article 10(4) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 respectively.’;

(3)

in Annex XVI, point 6.2 is replaced by the following:

‘6.2. The manufacturer shall demonstrate that use of the sensors referred to in point 6.1 and any other sensors on the vehicle, results in the activation of the driver warning system as referred to in point 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 driver inducement system as referred to in point 8.3, when the situations referred to in points 4.2, 5.4 or 5.5 occur.

For the purposes of this point these situations are presumed to occur:

• in the case of vehicles approved to the Euro 5 emission limits of Table 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, if the applicable NO_x emission limit of that table multiplied by a factor of 1,5, is exceeded,

• in the case of vehicles approved to the Euro 6 emission limits of Table 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, if the applicable NO_x OBD threshold limit of the tables set out in points 2.3.2, 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 of Annex XI is exceeded.

NO_x emissions during the test to demonstrate compliance with these requirements shall be no more than 20 % higher than the values referred to in the second paragraph.’
