2. PROCEDURE FOR IN-SERVICE CONFORMITY U.K.

[F1 2.1. The conformity of in-service vehicles or engines of an engine family shall be demonstrated by testing vehicles on the road operated over their normal driving patterns, conditions and payloads. The in-service conformity test shall be representative for vehicles operated on their real driving routes, with their normal payload and with the usual professional driver of the vehicle. When the vehicle is operated by a driver other than the usual professional driver of the particular vehicle, the alternative driver shall be skilled and trained to operate vehicles of the category subject to be tested.] U.K.

Textual Amendments

F1 Substituted by Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/1718 of 20 September 2016 amending Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 with respect to emissions from heavy-duty vehicles as regards the provisions on testing by means of portable emission measurement systems (PEMS) and the procedure for the testing of the durability of replacement pollution control devices (Text with EEA relevance).

2.2. If the normal in-service conditions of a particular vehicle are considered to be incompatible with the proper execution of the tests, the manufacturer or the approval authority may request that alternative driving routes and payloads are used. U.K.

[F1 2.3. The manufacturer shall demonstrate to the approval authority that the chosen vehicle, driving patterns and conditions are representative for the engine family. The requirements as specified in point 4.5 shall be used to determine whether the driving patterns are acceptable for in-service conformity testing.] U.K.

2.4. The manufacturer shall report the schedule and the sampling plan for conformity testing at the time of the initial type-approval of a new engine family. U.K.

2.5. Vehicles without a communication interface which permits the collection of the necessary ECU data as specified in points 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 of Annex I, with missing data or with a non-standard data protocol shall be considered as non-compliant. U.K.

2.6. Vehicles where the collection of ECU data influences the vehicle emissions or performance shall be considered as non-compliant. U.K.

[F2 2.7. Dual-fuel engines or vehicles U.K.

2.7.1. Dual-fuel engines and vehicles shall comply with the following additional requirements: U.K.

2.7.1.1.

A PEMS tests shall be performed in dual-fuel mode.

2.7.1.2.

In the case of Type 1B, Type 2B and Type 3B dual-fuel engines, an additional PEMS test shall be performed in Diesel mode on the same engine and vehicle immediately after, or before, a PEMS test is performed in dual-fuel mode.

In that case, the pass or fail decision of the lot considered in the statistical procedure specified in this Annex shall be based on the following:

(a)

a pass decision is reached for an individual vehicle if both the PEMS test in dual-fuel mode and the PEMS test in Diesel mode have concluded a pass;

(b)

a fail decision is reached for an individual vehicle if either the PEMS test in dual-fuel mode or the PEMS test in Diesel mode has concluded a fail.]

Textual Amendments

F2 Inserted by Commission Regulation (EU) No 133/2014 of 31 January 2014 amending, for the purposes of adapting to technical progress as regards emission limits, Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 (Text with EEA relevance).
