ANNEX IV U.K. AMENDMENTS TO ANNEX V TO DIRECTIVE 72/306/EEC

Annex V is replaced by the following:

‘TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF REFERENCE FUEL PRESCRIBED FOR APPROVAL TESTS AND TO VERIFY CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION

CEC reference fuel RF-03-A-84^{a c g}

a Equivalent ISO methods will be adopted when issued all properties listed above.
b The figures quoted show the evaporated quantities (percentage recovered + percentage loss).
c The values quoted in the specification are “true values”. In establishment of their limit values the terms of ASTM D 3244 “Defining a basis for petroleum product quality disputes” have been applied and in fixing a maximum value, a minimum difference of 2R above zero has been taken into account; in fixing a maximum and minimum value, the minimum difference is 4R (R = reproducibility). Notwithstanding this measure, which is necessary for statistical reasons, the manufacturer of fuel should nevertheless aim at a zero value where the stipulated maximum value is 2R and at the mean value in the case of quotations of maximum and minimum limits. Should it be necessary to clarify the question as to whether a fuel meets the requirements of the specification, the terms of ASTM D 3244 be applied.
d The range for cetane is note in accordance with the requirement of a minimum range of 4R. However, in cases of dispute between fuel supplier and fuel user, the terms of ASTM D 3244 can be used to resolve such disputes provided replicate measurements, of sufficient number to achieve the necessary precision, are made in preference to single determinations.
e This fuel should be based on straight run and cracked hydrocarbon distillate components only; desulphurization is allowed. It must not contain any metallic additives or cetane improver additives.
f Even though oxidation stability is controlled, it is likely that shell life will be limited. Advice should be sought from the supplier as to storage conditions and life.
g If it is required to calculate thermal efficiency of an engine or vehicle, the calorific value of the fuel can be calculated from: Specific energy (calorific value) (net) MJ/kg = (46,423 – 8,792d2 + 3,170d) (1 – (x+y+s)) + 9,420s – 2,499x where: d = the density at 15 °C, x = the proportion by mass of water (%/100), y = the proportion by mass of ash (%/100), s = the proportion by mass of sulphur (%/100).’

‘8. EXTENSION OF EEC TYPE APPROVAL

8.1. Vehicle types modified to run on unleaded petrol

8.1.1. Subject to the approval of the authority granting type approval, approval of a vehicle type modified and/or adjusted solely for the purpose of making it capable of running on unleaded petrol, as specified in Directive 85/210/EEC, shall be extended under the following alternative conditions:

8.1.1.1. The manufacturer shall certify that the engine power of the modified vehicle shall remain within the limits for conformity of production, as specified in 9.2 as obtained with the original, unmodified, type approved vehicle. In this case the extension shall confirm the power of the original type approval, or

8.1.1.2. The manufacturer shall declare a revised engine power figure which is less than that obtained with the original, unmodified type approved vehicle. In this case the extension shall specify the newly declared figures as applicable to the modified vehicle type.

8.2. Vehicle types modified for any other purpose

Any other modification of the engine with regard to the characteristics listed in Appendix 1 or Apendix 2 to this Annex shall be reported to the competent authority. That authority may then either:

8.2.1. consider that the modifications made are not likely to have any substantial effect on the power of the engine, or

8.2.2. request a further determination of engine power through the carrying-out of such tests as are deemed necessary.’

2. 9 is replaced by: U.K.

‘9. TOLERANCES FOR MEASURING THE NET POWER

9.1. The net power indicated by the manufacturer for the type of engine shall be accepted if it does not differ by more than ± 2 % for maximum power and more than ± 4 % at, the other measurement points on the curve with a tolerance of ± 1,5 % for engine speed, from the values measured by the technical service on the engine submitted for testing.

9.2. During the tests to verify conformity of production the power shall be measured at two engine speeds S1 and S2 corresponding respectively to the measurement points of maximum power and maximum torque accepted for type approval. At these two engine speeds, which are subject to a tolerance of ± 5 %, the net power measured at at least one point within the ranges S1 ± 5 % and S2 ± 5 % shall not differ by more than ± 5 % from the approval figure.’
