point 1.1.2 is replaced by the following:

‘1.1.2. If the manufacturer permits the engine family to run on market fuels that do not comply neither with Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(1) nor with CEN standard EN 228:2012 (in the case of unleaded petrol) or CEN standard EN 590:2013 (in the case of diesel), such as running on B100 (EN 14214), the manufacturer shall, in addition to the requirements in point 1.1.1, comply with the following requirements:

(a)

declare the fuels the engine family is capable of running on in point 3.2.2.2.1 of the Information Document as set out in Part 1 of Appendix 4., either by reference to an official standard or to a production specification of a brand specific market fuel not meeting any official standard such as those mentioned in point 1.1.2. The manufacturer shall also declare that the functionality of the OBD system is not affected by the use of the declared fuel;

(b)

demonstrate that the parent engine meets the requirements specified in Annex III and in Appendix 1 of Annex VI to this Regulation on the fuels declared; the approval authority may request that the demonstration requirements be further extended to those laid down in Annex VII and Annex X;

(c)

be liable to meet the requirements of in-service conformity specified in Annex II on the fuels declared including any blend between the declared fuels and the market fuels included in Directive 98/70/EC and the relevant CEN standards.

At the request of the manufacturer, the requirements set out in this point shall be applied to fuels used for military purposes.

For the purposes of point (a) of the first subparagraph where the emission tests are performed for demonstrating compliance with the requirements of this Regulation, a fuel analysis report of the test fuel shall be attached to the test report and shall comprise at least the parameters specified in the official specification of the fuel manufacturer.’;

(2)

point 1.1.5 is replaced by the following:

‘1.1.5. In the case of natural gas/biomethane engines, the ratio of the emission results “r” shall be determined for each pollutant as follows:

or

and

’;

(3)

point 3.1 is replaced by the following:

‘3.1. In the case of an engine type-approved as a separate technical unit or a vehicle type-approved with regard to emissions and access to vehicle repair and maintenance information, the engine shall bear:

(a)

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

(b)

the manufacturer's commercial description of the engine.’;

(4)

the following points 3.2.1.1 to 3.2.1.6 are inserted:

‘3.2.1.1. In case of a natural gas/biomethane engine one of the following markings to be placed after the EC type-approval mark:

(a)

H in case of the engine being approved and calibrated for the H-range of gases;

(b)

L in case of the engine being approved and calibrated for the L-range of gases;

(c)

HL in case of the engine being approved and calibrated for both the H-range and L-range of gases;

(d)

H_t in case of the engine being approved and calibrated for a specific gas composition in the H-range of gases and transformable to another specific gas in the H-range of gases by fine tuning of the engine fuelling;

(e)

L_t in case of the engine being approved and calibrated for a specific gas composition in the L-range of gases and transformable to another specific gas in the L-range of gases after fine tuning of the engine fuelling;

(f)

HL_t in the case of the engine being approved and calibrated for a specific gas composition in either the H-range or the L- range of gases and transformable to another specific gas in either the H-range or the L-range of gases by fine tuning of the engine fuelling;

(g)

CNG_fr in all other cases where the engine is fuelled with CNG/biomethane and designed for operation on one restricted gas fuel range composition;

(h)

LNG_fr in the cases where the engine is fuelled with LNG and designed for operation on one restricted gas fuel range composition;

(i)

LPG_fr in the cases where the engine is fuelled with LPG and designed for operation on one restricted gas fuel range composition;

(j)

LNG₂₀ in case of the engine being approved and calibrated for a specific LNG composition resulting in a λ-shift factor not differing by more than 3 per cent the λ-shift factor of the G₂₀ gas specified in Annex IX, and the ethane content of which does not exceed 1,5 per cent;

(k)

LNG in case of the engine being approved and calibrated for any other LNG composition;

3.2.1.2. For dual-fuel engines, the approval mark shall contain a series of digits after the national symbol, the purpose of which is to distinguish for which dual-fuel engine type and with which range of gases the approval has been granted. The series of digits will be constituted of two digits identifying the dual-fuel engine type as defined in Article 2, followed by the letter or letters specified in point 3.2.1.1 corresponding to the natural gas/biomethane composition used by the engine. The two digits identifying the dual- fuel engine types as defined in Article 2 are the following:

(a)

1A for dual-fuel engines of Type 1A;

(b)

1B for dual-fuel engines of Type 1B;

(c)

3.2.1.4. For ethanol (ED95)-fuelled CI engines the approval mark shall contain the letters ‘ED’ after the national symbol;

3.2.1.5. For ethanol (E85)-fuelled PI engines the approval mark shall contain ‘E85’ after the national symbol;

3.2.1.6. for petrol-fuelled PI engines the approval mark shall contain the letter ‘P’ after the national symbol.’;

(5)

in point 4.2, point (b) is replaced by the following:

(7)

Appendix 9 is replaced by the following:

‘Appendix 9 EC Type-Approval Certification Numbering System

Section 3 of the EC type-approval number issued according to Articles 6(1), 8(1) and 10(1) shall be composed by the number of the implementing regulatory act or the latest amending regulatory act applicable to the EC type-approval.
