Commission Directive 2008/74/EC of 18 July 2008 amending, as regards the type approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and Euro 6) and access to vehicle repair and maintenance information, Directive 2005/55/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Directive 2005/78/EC (Text with EEA relevance)
When the UK left the EU, legislation.gov.uk published EU legislation that had been published by the EU up to IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.). On legislation.gov.uk, these items of legislation are kept up-to-date with any amendments made by the UK since then.
Legislation.gov.uk publishes the UK version. EUR-Lex publishes the EU version. The EU Exit Web Archive holds a snapshot of EUR-Lex’s version from IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.).
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.
Section 1 is replaced by the following:
From 3 January 2009 up to the dates specified in Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 for new approvals and in Article 10(3) of that Regulation for extensions, type approvals may continue to be granted under this Directive for vehicles of category N1, N2 and M2 with a reference mass below 2 610 kg.’
In section 2.1, the following definitions are added:
‘ “reference mass” means the mass of the vehicle in running order less the uniform mass of the driver of 75 kg and increased by a uniform mass of 100 kg.
“mass of the vehicle in running order” means the mass described in Section 2.6 of Annex I to Directive 2007/46/EC.’
The following point 4.5 is added:
In point 6.2, the following subparagraphs are inserted after the fourth subparagraph:
‘For petrol engines, the test procedures set out in Annex VII of Directive 2005/78/EC shall apply.
For diesel engines, the test procedure for smoke opacity in Annex VI of Directive 2005/78/EC shall apply.’
In Appendix 1, the following points 8.4, 8.4.1, 8.4.1.1 and 8.4.1.2 are added:
The following Appendix 6 is added:
In Section 2, point 2.7.4 is replaced by the following:
A single filter shall be used for the complete test procedure. The modal weighting factors specified in the test cycle procedure shall be taken into account by taking a sample proportional to the exhaust mass flow during each individual mode of the cycle. This can be achieved by adjusting sample flow rate, sampling time, and/or dilution ratio, accordingly, so that the criterion for the effective weighting factors in Section 6.6 is met.
The sampling time per mode shall be at least four seconds per 0,01 weighting factor. Sampling shall be conducted as late as possible within each mode. Particulate sampling shall be completed no earlier than five seconds before the end of each mode.’
In Section 6, the following points 6.5 and 6.6 are added:
The particulate emission shall be calculated in the following way:
The effective weighting factor Wfei for each mode shall be calculated in the following way:
The value of the effective weighting factors shall be within ± 0,003 (0,005 for the idle mode) of the weighting factors listed in Section 2.7.1 of this appendix.’

This timeline shows the different versions taken from EUR-Lex before exit day and during the implementation period as well as any subsequent versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation.
The dates for the EU versions are taken from the document dates on EUR-Lex and may not always coincide with when the changes came into force for the document.
For any versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation the date will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force.
