2.2. Data collection phase U.K.

2.2.1. The selected engine, equipped with the complete exhaust after-treatment system incorporating the replacement pollution control device, shall be cooled down to ambient temperature and run one cold start WHTC test-cycle in accordance with paragraphs 7.6.1 and 7.6.2 of Annex 4 to UN/ECE Regulation No 49.

2.2.4. Alternatively, the relevant data can be collected by driving a fully loaded vehicle equipped with the selected exhaust after-treatment system incorporating the replacement pollution control device. The test can be carried out either on the road following the trip requirements of points 4.5 to 4.5.5 of Annex II to this Regulation with comprehensive recording of the driving data, or on a suitable chassis dynamometer. If an on-road test is chosen, the vehicle shall be driven over a cold test-cycle, as set out in Appendix 5 to this Annex, followed by nine hot test-cycles, identical to the cold one, in a way that the work developed by the engine is the same as the one achieved under points 2.2.1 and 2.2.2. If a chassis dynamometer is chosen, the simulated road gradient of the test-cycle in Appendix 5 shall be adapted to match the work developed by the engine over the WHTC. U.K.

2.2.5. The type-approval authority shall refuse the temperature data obtained under point 2.2.4 if it deems those data to be unrealistic and shall request either the repetition of the test, or the carrying out of a test pursuant to points 2.2.1, 2.2.2 and 2.2.3. U.K.

2.2.6. Temperatures in the replacement pollution control device shall be recorded during the whole test sequence, at the location with the highest temperature. U.K.

2.2.8. The number and locations of the temperature measurements shall be selected by the manufacturer, in agreement with the type-approval authority, based on best engineering judgement. U.K.

2.2.9. With the agreement of the type-approval authority, a single catalyst bed temperature or the catalyst inlet temperature may be used if measuring multiple bed temperatures is proven to be unfeasible or too difficult. U.K.

Each bar of the histogram shall represent the cumulated frequency in seconds of the measured temperatures falling in the specific bin. U.K.

2.2.12. The time in hours corresponding to each temperature bin must be determined and then extrapolated to the useful life of the replacement pollution control device, in accordance with the values specified in Table 1. The extrapolation shall be based on the assumption that one WHTC cycle corresponds to 20 km driving. U.K.
