0. GENERAL U.K.

Unless otherwise defined by this Directive, the appropriate definitions, symbols and abbreviations contained in Directive 97/68/EC are applicable.

1. DEFINITIONS U.K.

• ‘type of tractor engine in terms of pollutants emitted’ means compression-ignition engines which display no essential differences with regard to the characteristics defined in Appendix 1 to Annex I,

• ‘pollutants emitted’ means gaseous pollutants (carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides) and polluting particulates.

2. APPLICATION FOR EC TYPE-APPROVAL FOR A TYPE OF ENGINE OR ENGINE FAMILY AS A SEPARATE TECHNICAL UNIT U.K.

2.1. The application for the type-approval of an engine type or family in terms of the pollutants emitted shall be made by the engine manufacturer or his agent. U.K.

2.2. It shall be accompanied by the information document, completed in triplicate, a specimen for which is provided in Appendix 1 to this Annex. U.K.

2.3. An engine conforming to the ‘engine type’ or ‘parent engine’ characteristics described in Appendix 1 to this Annex shall be submitted to the technical service responsible for conducting the approval tests. U.K.

2.4. In the case of an applicant for type-approval of an engine family, if the approval authority determines that, with regard to the selected parent engine, the submitted application does not fully represent the engine family described in Annex II, Appendix 2, to Directive 97/68/EC an alternative and, if necessary an additional parent engine which is determined by the approval authority shall be provided for approval according to Article 3(1) of Directive 97/68/EC. U.K.

3. SPECIFICATIONS AND TESTS U.K.

The provisions of Directive 97/68/EC, Annex I, Section 4 and Annexes III, IV are V are applicable.

4. TYPE-APPROVAL FOR A SEPARATE TECHNICAL UNIT U.K.

The engine shall be marked in accordance with the requirements of Appendix 3 to this Annex. The identification number must comply with the provisions of Appendices 4 and 5 to this Annex.

6. CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION U.K.

Without prejudice to the requirements of Article 8 of Directive 74/150/EEC, conformity of production shall be checked in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 of Annex I to Directive 97/68/EC.

7. NOTIFICATION ON THE ISSUE OF APPROVALS U.K.

Notice of the approval, extension, refusal or withdrawal of approval or of production definitely discontinued in relation to an engine type pursuant to Annex I or a tractor type pursuant to Annex II must be communicated to the Member States in accordance with Article 5(1) of Directive 74/150/EEC.

8. ENGINE FAMILY U.K.

8.1. Parameters defining the engine family U.K.

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

For engines to be considered to belong to the same engine family, the following list of basic parameters must be common.

8.1.1. Combustion cycle: 2 stroke/4 stroke(1) U.K.

8.1.2. Cooling medium: air/water/oil(1) U.K.

8.1.3. Individual cylinder displacement U.K.

• engines to be within a total spread of 15 %

• number of cylinders for engines with after-treatment device

8.1.4. Method of air aspiration: naturally aspirated/pressure charged(1) U.K.

8.1.5. Combustion chamber type/design U.K.

• pre-chamber

• swirl chamber

• open chamber

8.1.6. Valve and porting — configuration, size and number U.K.

• cylinder head

• cylinder wall

• crankcase

8.1.7. Fuel system U.K.

• pump-line-injector

• in-line pump

• distributor pump

• single element

• unit injector

8.1.8. Exhaust gas recirculation U.K.

8.1.9. Water injection/emulsion(1) U.K.

8.1.10. Air injection U.K.

8.1.11. Charge cooling system U.K.

8.1.12. Oxidation catalyst U.K.

8.1.13. Reduction catalyst U.K.

8.1.14. Thermal reactor U.K.

8.1.15. Particulates trap U.K.

8.2. Choice of parent engine U.K.

8.2.1. The parent engine of the family shall be selected using the primary criterion of the highest fuel delivery per stroke at the declared maximum torque speed. If two or more engines share this primary criterion, the parent engine shall be selected using the secondary criterion 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 tests based on features which indicate that it may have the highest emission levels of the engines within that family. U.K.

8.2.2. 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.

Textual Amendments

F1 Substituted by Commission Directive 2005/13/EC of 21 February 2005 amending Directive 2000/25/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants by engines intended to power agricultural or forestry tractors, and amending Annex I to Directive 2003/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the type-approval of agricultural or forestry tractors (Text with EEA relevance).

U.K.

Appendix 2 SPECIMEN(Maximum format A4 (210 x 297 mm))

Appendix 3 Marking of engines

1. Any engine approved as a separate technical unit must bear: U.K.

1.1. the trade mark or trade name of the engine's manufacturer; U.K.

1.2. the engine type, and if applicable engine family, and a unique engine identification number; U.K.

1.3. the EC type-approval mark in accordance with Appendix 5 of this Annex. U.K.

2. These marks must last throughout the useful life of the engine and remain clearly legible and indelible. If labels or plates are used, they must be affixed in such a way that they too last throughout the useful life of the engine, and the labels/plates cannot be removed without destroying or defacing them. U.K.

3. The marks must be secured to an engine part that is necessary for normal engine operation and not normally requiring replacement during engine life. U.K.

These marks must be located so as to be readily visible to the average person once the engine has been fitted to the tractor, together with all the accessories needed for engine operation. If a bonnet is to be removed in order to make the mark visible, this requirement shall be considered to have been met if removal of that bonnet is simple and does not require the use of a tool.

In case of doubt concerning the meeting of this requirement, it shall be considered to have been met if an additional mark containing at least the engine identification number and the name, trade name or logo of the manufacturer has been added.

That additional mark shall be affixed to, or next to, a major component that would not normally have to be replaced during the service life of the engine, and be easily accessible, without the assistance of tools, during routine maintenance operations; otherwise, it must be located at a distance from the original mark on the engine crankcase. The original mark and, where appropriate, the additional mark shall both be clearly visible once all of the accessories needed for the operation of the engine have been fitted. A bonnet meeting the requirements set out in the above paragraph shall be authorised. The additional mark shall be affixed in a durable manner preferably directly to the topside of the engine, for example by means of an engraving, or a sticker or plate that meets the requirements of Item 2.

4. The engines must be classified by means of their identification numbers in such a way that the production sequence can be determinated unambiguously. U.K.

5. Before leaving the production line, the engines must bear all of the required marks. U.K.

6. The exact location of the engine marks shall be declared in the information document, in accordance with Annexes I and II. U.K.

Appendix 4 Numbering

1. The EC type-approval number shall consist of five sections, separated by the sign ‘*’: U.K.

Section 3	The number of the latest amending Directive applicable to the approval. If a Directive contains different implementation dates referring to different technical standards, an alphabetical character shall be added in order to specify the standard in accordance with which the approval was granted
Section 4	A four-digit sequential number (with leading zeros as applicable) to denote the base approval number. The sequence shall start from 0001 for each base Directive
Section 5	A two-digit sequential number (with leading zeros as applicable) to denote the extension. The sequence shall start from 00 for each approval number
