EU Directives are published on this site to aid cross referencing from UK legislation. Since IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.) no amendments have been applied to this version.
Unless otherwise defined by this Directive, the appropriate definitions, symbols and abbreviations contained in Directive 97/68/EC are applicable.
‘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.
The provisions of Directive 97/68/EC, Annex I, Section 4 and Annexes III, IV are V are applicable.
An EC type-approval certificate conforming to the specimen provided in Appendix 2 to this Annex shall be issued.
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.
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.
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.
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.
engines to be within a total spread of 15 %
number of cylinders for engines with after-treatment device
pre-chamber
swirl chamber
open chamber
cylinder head
cylinder wall
crankcase
pump-line-injector
in-line pump
distributor pump

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).
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.
Section 1 | A lower-case letter ‘e’ followed by the distinguishing number of the Member State which has granted the type-approval:
|
[F5Section 2 | The number of the base Directive followed by a letter A for stage I, letter B for stage II, letter C for stage IIIA, letter D for stage IIIB and letter E for stage IV] |
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 |
