1. INTRODUCTION U.K.

1.1. This appendix describes the procedure for the test, measuring carbon monoxide emissions at idling speeds (normal and high). U.K.

1.2. At normal engine idling speed, the maximum permissible carbon monoxide content in the exhaust gases is that stated by the vehicle manufacturer. However, the maximum CO content shall not exceed 0,3 % volume. At high idle speed, the carbon monoxide content by volume of the exhaust gases shall not exceed 0,2 %, with the engine speed being at least 2 000 min ^–1 and Lambda being 1 ± 0,03 in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. U.K.

2. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS U.K.

2.1. The general requirements shall be those set out in sections 5.3.7.1 to 5.3.7.4 of UN/ECE Regulation No 83 (1) . U.K.

1. INTRODUCTION U.K.

1.1. This part describes the procedure for verifying emissions of crankcase gases. U.K.

1.2. When tested in accordance with this part, the engine's crankcase ventilation system shall not permit the emission of any of the crankcase gases into the atmosphere. U.K.

2. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS U.K.
