[F4 4.1. CI engines] U.K.

[F1 4.1.1.] General U.K.

The components liable to affect the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants shall be so designed, constructed and assembled as to enable the engine, in normal use, despite the vibrations to which it may be subjected, to comply with the provisions of this Directive.

The technical measures taken by the manufacturer must be such as to ensure that the mentioned emissions are effectively limited, pursuant to this Directive, throughout the normal life of the engine and under normal conditions of use. These provisions are deemed to be met if the provisions of sections [F1 4.1.2.1], [F1 4.1.2.3] and 5.3.2.1 are respectively complied with.

If a catalytic converter and/or a particulates trap is used the manufacturer must prove by durability tests, which he himself may carry out in accordance with good engineering practice, and by corresponding records, that these after-treatment devices can be expected to function properly for the lifetime of the engine. The records must be produced in compliance with the requirements of section 5.2 and in particular with section 5.2.3. A corresponding warranty must be guaranteed to the customer. Systematic replacement of the device, after a certain running time of the engine, is permissible. Any adjustment, repair, disassembly, cleaning, or replacement of engine components or systems which is performed on a periodic basis to prevent malfunction of the engine in context with the after-treatment device, shall only be done to the extent that is technologically necessary toassure proper functioning of the emission control system. Accordingly scheduled maintenance requirements must be included in the customer's manual, and be covered by the warranty provisions mentioned above, and be approved before an approval is granted. The corresponding extract from the manual with respect to maintenance/replacements of the treatment device(s), and to the warranty conditions, must be included in the information document as set out in Annex II to this Directive.

[F5 All engines that expel exhaust gases mixed with water shall be equipped with a connection in the engine exhaust system that is located downstream of the engine and before any point at which the exhaust contacts water (or any other cooling/scrubbing medium) for the temporary attachment of gaseous or particulate emissions sampling equipment. It is important that the location of this connection allows a well mixed representative sample of the exhaust. This connection shall be internally threaded with standard pipe threads of a size not larger than one-half inch, and shall be closed by a plug when not in use (equivalent connections are allowed).]

[F1 4.1.2.] Specifications concerning the emissions of pollutants U.K.

The gaseous and particulate components emitted by the engine submitted for testing shall be measured by the methods described in [F1 Annex VI.

Other systems or analysers may be accepted if they yield equivalent results to the following reference systems:

• for gaseous emissions measured in the raw exhaust, the system shown in Figure 2 of Annex VI,

• for gaseous emissions measured in the dilute exhaust of a full flow dilution system, the system shown in Figure 3 of Annex VI,

• for particulate emissions, the full flow dilution system, operating either with a separate filter for each mode or with the single filter method, shown in Figure 13 of Annex VI].

The determination of system equivalency shall be based on a seven-test cycle (or larger) correlation study between the system under consideration and one or more of the above reference systems.

The equivalency criterion is defined as a ± 5 % agreement of the averages of the weighted cycle emissions values. The cycle to be used shall be that given in Annex III, section 3.6.1.

For introduction of a new system into the Directive the determination of equivalency shall be based upon the calculation of repeatability and reproducibility, as described in ISO 5725.

5.3.2.2. if the engine taken from the series does not satisfy the requirements of section 5.3.2.1 the manufacturer may ask for measurements to be performed on a sample of engines of the same specification taken from the series and including the engine originally taken. The manufacturershall determine the size n of the sample in agreement with the technical service. Engines other than the engine originally taken shall be subjected to a test. The arithmetical mean ( ) of the results obtained with the sample shall then be determined for each pollutant. The production of the series shall then be deemed to confirm if the following condition is met: U.K.

5.3.3. The approval authority or the technical service responsible for verifying the conformity of production shall carry out tests on engines which have been run-in partially or completely, according to the manufacturer's specifications. U.K.

5.3.4. The normal frequency of inspections authorized by the competent authority shall be one per year. If the requirements of section 5.3.2 are not met, the competent authority shall ensure that all necessary steps are taken to re-establish the conformity of production as rapidly as possible. U.K.

6. PARAMETERS DEFINING THE ENGINE FAMILY U.K.

The engine family may be defined by basic design parameters 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:

6.1. Combustion cycle: U.K.

• 2 cycle

• 4 cycle

6.2. Cooling medium: U.K.

• air

• water

• oil

[F1 6.3. Individual cylinder displacement, within 85 % and 100 % of the largest displacement within the engine family U.K.

6.4. Method of air aspiration U.K.

6.5. Fuel type U.K.

• Diesel

• Petrol.

6.6. Combustion chamber type/design U.K.

6.7. Valve and porting — configurations, size and number U.K.

6.8. Fuel system U.K.

For diesel:

• pump-line injector

• in-line pump

• distributor pump

• single element

• unit injector.

For petrol:

• carburettor

• port fuel injection

• direct injection.

6.9. Miscellaneous features U.K.

• Exhaust gas recirculation

• Water injection/emulsion

• Air injection

• Charge cooling system

• Ignition type (compression, spark).

6.10. Exhaust after-treatment U.K.

• Oxidation catalyst

• Reduction catalyst

• Three way catalyst

• Thermal reactor

• Particulate trap.]

7. CHOICE OF THE PARENT ENGINE U.K.

7.1. The parent engine of the family shall 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 shall 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 characterized 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 levels of the engines within that family. U.K.

7.2. 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. U.K.
