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)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2009 on type-approval of motor vehicles and engines with respect to emissions from heavy-duty vehicles (Euro VI) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information and amending Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and Directive 2007/46/EC and repealing Directives 80/1269/EEC, 2005/55/EC and 2005/78/EC(1), and in particular Article 4(3), Article 5(4) and Article 12 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) In-service conformity testing represents one of the building blocks of the type-approval procedure and allows for the verification of the performance of emission control systems during the useful lifetime of vehicles. In accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No 582/2011(2), the tests are performed by means of portable emission measurement systems (PEMS) which assess the emissions in the normal operations of use. The PEMS approach is equally applied to verify off-cycle emissions during the type-approval certification.

(2) Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 states that any additional requirements with respect to the off-cycle in-use emissions testing procedure should be introduced after the assessment of the test procedure specified in that Regulation.

(3) The Commission has therefore performed an in-depth analysis of the testing procedure. That analysis has identified a number of shortfalls which undermine the efficiency of the European type-approval legislation and need to be remedied in order to ensure the appropriate level of environmental protection.

(4) Emission performance of vehicles in a warm-up period is currently not assessed under the type-approval demonstration test or under the in-service conformity test. In order to address the existing knowledge gap and to prepare a new testing procedure for cold start operations, a monitoring phase during which data from type-approval and in-service conformity tests will be collected should be launched.

(5) In accordance with Regulation (EU) No 582/2011, replacement pollution control devices are to be type-approved in accordance with Euro VI emission requirements once the specific durability testing requirements are introduced in that Regulation.

(6) It is therefore necessary to lay down a procedure which will properly assess the durability of those replacement parts entering the Union market and to ensure that they meet environmental requirements compatible with those set for similar systems produced as original vehicles' parts.

(7) A test procedure based on the accelerated ageing of replacement pollution control devices due to thermal and lubricant consumption effects meets the objective of addressing durability of replacement pollution control devices in an accurate and objective manner and is not excessively burdensome for the industry.

(8) Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 sets out requirements related to the measures that need to be introduced by vehicle manufacturers in order to prevent tampering with emission control systems. Those requirements should effectively address the most common means of tampering without imposing an excessive burden on the industry.

(9) References to international standards in Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 should be updated.

(10) In order to ensure a sufficient lead time for the vehicle manufacturers to modify their products in accordance with the new requirement on the power threshold, that requirement should take effect on 1 September 2018 for new types and on 1 September 2019 for all new vehicles.

(11) It is appropriate that the new requirements for the in-service testing do not apply retroactively to engines and vehicles which have not been approved in accordance with those requirements. Therefore, the new provisions set out in Annex II shall only apply to the in-service conformity testing of new types of engines and vehicles which have been approved in accordance with the amended version of the Regulation (EU) No 582/2011.

(12) Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(13) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Technical Committee — Motor vehicles,

Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 is amended as follows:

(1)

point 2.1 is replaced by the following:

‘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.’;

(2)

point 2.3 is replaced by the following:

‘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.’;

(3)

point 4.1 is replaced by the following:

‘4.1. Vehicle payload

Normal payload is a payload between 10 and 100 % of the maximum payload.

The maximum payload is the difference between technically permissible maximum laden mass of the vehicle and the mass of the vehicle in running order as specified in accordance to Annex I to Directive 2007/46/EC.

For the purpose of in-service conformity testing, the payload may be reproduced and an artificial load may be used.

Approval authorities may request to test the vehicle with any payload between 10 and 100 % of the maximum vehicle payload. In case the mass of the PEMS equipment needed for operation exceeds 10 % of the maximum vehicle payload this mass may be considered as minimum payload.

4.5.3.For N₃ vehicles the trip shall consist of approximately 20 % urban, 25 % rural and 55 % motorway operation.

4.5.4.For the purpose of the assessment of the trip composition, the duration of the share shall be calculated from the moment when the coolant temperature has reached 343 K (70 °C) for the first time or after the coolant temperature is stabilised within +/– 2 K over a period of 5 minutes whichever comes first but no later than 15 minutes after engine start. In accordance with paragraph 4.5 the period elapsed to reach the coolant temperature of 343 K (70 °C) shall be operated under urban driving conditions.

Artificial warming-up of the emission control systems prior to the test is prohibited.

4.5.5.The following distribution of the characteristic trip values from the WHDC database may serve as additional guidance for the evaluation of the trip:

Appendix 1 is amended as follows:

(a)

point 1 is replaced by the following:

‘1.INTRODUCTION

This Appendix describes the procedure to determine gaseous emissions from on-vehicle on-road measurements using portable emissions measurement systems (hereinafter ‘PEMS’). The pollutant emissions to be measured from the exhaust of the engine include the following components: carbon monoxide, total hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides for compression ignition engines and carbon monoxide, non-methane hydrocarbons, methane and nitrogen oxides for positive ignition engines. Additionally, carbon dioxide shall be measured to enable the calculation procedures described in Sections 4 and 5.

For engines fuelled with natural gas, the manufacturer, technical service or approval authority may choose to measure the total hydrocarbon (THC) emissions only instead of measuring the methane and non-methane hydrocarbon emissions. In that case, the emission limit for the total hydrocarbon emissions is the same as the one specified in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 for methane emissions. For the purposes of the calculation of the conformity factors pursuant to points 4.2.3 and 4.3.2, the applicable limit shall in that case be the methane emission limit only.

For engines fuelled with gases other than natural gas, the manufacturer, technical service or approval authority may choose to measure the total hydrocarbon (THC) emissions instead of measuring the non-methane hydrocarbon emissions. In that case, the emission limit for the total hydrocarbon emissions is the same as the one specified in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 for non-methane hydrocarbon emissions. For the purposes of the calculation of the conformity factors pursuant to points 4.2.3 and 4.3.2, the applicable limit shall in that case be the non-methane emission limit.’;

(b)

in point 2.2., the sentence ‘The parameters summarised in Table 1 shall be measured and recorded:’ is replaced by the following:

‘The parameters as specified in Table 1 shall be measured and recorded at a constant frequency of 1,0 Hz or higher. The original raw data shall be kept by the manufacturer and shall be made available, upon request, to the approval authority and the Commission.’;

(c)

the following point 2.2.1 is inserted:

‘2.2.1. Data reporting format

Emission values as well as any other relevant parameters shall be reported and exchanged as csv-formatted data file. Parameter values shall be separated by a comma, ASCII-Code #h2C. The decimal marker of numerical values shall be a point, ASCII-Code #h2E. Lines shall be terminated by carriage return, ASCII-Code #h0D. No thousands separators shall be used.’;

(d)

points 2.6.1 and 2.6.2 are replaced by the following:

‘2.6.1. Test start

Emissions sampling, measurement of the exhaust parameters and recording of the engine and ambient data shall commence prior to starting the engine. The coolant temperature shall not exceed 303 K (30 °C) at the beginning of the test. In case ambient temperature exceeds 303 K (30 °C) at the beginning of the test, the coolant temperature shall not exceed the ambient temperature by more than 2 °C. The data evaluation shall start after the coolant temperature has reached 343 K (70 °C) for the first time or after the coolant temperature is stabilised within +/– 2 K over a period of 5 minutes whichever comes first but no later than 15 minutes after engine start.

2.6.2. Test run

Emission sampling, measurement of the exhaust parameters and recording of the engine and ambient data shall continue throughout the normal in-use operation of the engine. The engine may be stopped and started, but emissions sampling shall continue throughout the entire test.

Periodic zero-checks of the PEMS gas analysers may be conducted every 2 hours and the results may be used to perform a zero drift correction. The data recorded during the checks shall be flagged and shall not be used for the emission calculations.

In case of interrupted GPS signal the GPS data may be calculated based on the ECU vehicle speed and a map, for a consecutive period of less than 60 s. If the cumulative loss of GPS signal exceeds 3 % of the total trip duration, the trip should be declared void.’;

(e)

point 3.2.1 is replaced by the following:

‘3.2.1. Analysers and EFM data

The consistency of the data (exhaust mass flow measured by the EFM and gas concentrations) shall be verified using a correlation between the measured fuel flow from the ECU and the fuel flow calculated using the formula in paragraph 8.4.1.7 of Annex 4 to UN/ECE Regulation No 49. A linear regression shall be performed for the measured and calculated fuel rate values. The method of least squares shall be used with the best fit equation having the form:

y = mx + b

where:

y is the calculated fuel flow [g/s]
m is the slope of the regression line
x is the measured fuel flow [g/s]
b is the y intercept of the regression line

The slope (m) and the coefficient of determination (r²) shall be calculated for each regression line. It is recommended to perform this analysis in the range from 15 % of the maximum value to the maximum value and at a frequency greater or equal to 1 Hz. For a test to be considered valid, the following two criteria shall be evaluated:

Table 2

Tolerances

Slope of the regression line, m	0,9 to 1,1 — Recommended
Coefficient of determination r²	min. 0,90 — Mandatory’;

(f)

point 4.1 is replaced by the following:

‘4.1. Averaging window principle

The emissions shall be integrated using a moving averaging window method, based on the reference CO₂ mass or the reference work. The principle of the calculation is as follows: The mass emissions are not calculated for the complete data set, but for sub-sets of the complete data set, the length of these sub-sets being determined so as to match the engine CO₂ mass or work measured over the reference laboratory transient cycle. The moving average calculations are conducted with a time increment Δt equal to the data sampling period. These sub-sets used to average the emissions data are referred to as “averaging windows” in the following points.

Any invalidated data shall not be considered for the calculation of the work or CO₂ mass and the emissions of the averaging window.

The following data shall be considered as not valid data:

(a)

zero drift check of the instruments;

(b)

the data outside the conditions specified in points 4.2 and 4.3 of Annex II.

The mass emissions (mg/window) shall be determined as described in paragraph 8.4.2.3 of Annex 4 to UN/ECE Regulation No 49.

2.4.4.8.1.The lubricant consumption accumulation schedule shall consist of a number of lubricant consumption sequences repeated several times, each lubricant consumption sequence being alternated with each thermal sequence or each modified thermal sequence.U.K.

2.4.4.8.2.Each lubricant consumption sequence shall consist of a steady mode at constant load and speed, the load and the speed being selected in such a way that the lubricant consumption is maximised and effective thermal aging is minimised. The mode shall be determined by the manufacturer in agreement with the type-approval authority, based on best engineering judgement.U.K.

2.4.4.8.3.The duration of each lubricant consumption sequence shall be determined as follows:U.K.

2.4.4.8.3.1.

The engine shall be run for an appropriate period of time at the load and speed determined by the manufacturer in accordance with point 2.4.4.8.2 and the lubricant consumed, in g/h, shall be determined using any suitable method, as for example the drain and weigh procedure described in Appendix 6. Lubricant changes are to be completed at the recommended intervals.

2.4.4.8.3.2.

The duration of each lubricant consumption sequence shall be calculated by applying the following equation:

Equation 8:

Where:

t_LS

the duration, in hours, of a single lubricant consumption sequence

LCR_WHTC

lubricant consumption rate, in g/h determined as set out in point 2.2.15.

t_WHTC

equivalent number of hours corresponding to the vehicle category for which the replacement pollution control device is intended, obtained from Table 1.

LCR_TAS

lubricant consumption rate, in g/h, determined as set out in point 2.4.4.2.

LCR_LAS

lubricant consumption rate, in g/h, determined as set out in point 2.4.4.8.3.1.

t_TS

duration, in hours, of a single thermal sequence, as set out in Appendix 4, or modified thermal sequence, as set out in point 2.4.3.2.

N_TS

total number of thermal sequences or modified thermal sequences to be carried out during the service accumulation schedule.

2.4.4.8.4.The lubricant consumption rate shall always remain below 0,5 % of the engine fuel consumption rate in order to avoid excessive ash accumulation on the front face of the replacement pollution control device.U.K.

2.4.4.8.5.It is allowed to add the thermal ageing due to the conduction of the lubricant consumption sequence to the AE calculated in equation 4.U.K.

2.4.5.Development of the complete service accumulation scheduleU.K.

2.4.5.1.The service accumulation schedule shall be built up alternating a thermal or a modified thermal sequence, as appropriate, with a lubricant consumption sequence. The aforementioned pattern shall be repeated N_TS times, being the N_TS value the one calculated either in accordance with Section 2.4.2 or with Section 2.4.3, as appropriate. An example of a complete service accumulation schedule is given in Appendix 7. A flowchart describing the development of a complete service accumulation schedule is given in Appendix 8.U.K.

2.4.6.Operation of the service accumulation scheduleU.K.

2.4.6.1.The engine, fitted with the exhaust after-treatment system incorporating the replacement pollution control device, shall run the service accumulation schedule set out in point 2.4.5.1.U.K.

2.4.6.2.The engine used for the performance of the service accumulation schedule may be different to the engine used in the data collection phase, being the latter always the one for which the replacement pollution control device to be type-approved has been designed, and the one to be tested for emissions under point 2.4.3.2.U.K.

2.4.6.3.If the engine used for the performance of the service accumulation schedule features a larger displacement by 20 % or more than the engine used in the data collection phase, the exhaust system of the former should be equipped with a by-pass in order to replicate as closely as possible the exhaust flow rate of the latter at the ageing conditions selected.U.K.

2.4.6.4.In the case referred to in point 2.4.6.2, the engine used for the performance of the service accumulation schedule shall be type-approved under Regulation (EC) No 595/2009. In addition, if the device or devices under test are intended for being fitted in an engine system with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), the engine system used for the service accumulation schedule shall also be fitted with an EGR. If the device or devices under test are intended for not being fitted in an engine system with EGR, the engine system used for the service accumulation schedule shall also not be fitted with an EGR.U.K.

2.4.6.5.The lubricant and the fuel used in the service accumulation schedule shall be as similar as possible to those used during the data collection phase set out in point 2.2. The lubricant must be in line with the recommendation of the engine manufacturer for which the pollution control device is designed. The fuels used should be market fuels fulfilling the corresponding requirements of Directive 98/70/EC. On the request of the manufacturer also reference fuels in accordance with this Regulation can be used.U.K.

2.4.6.6.The lubricant shall be changed for maintenance, at the intervals scheduled by the manufacturer of the engine used in the data collection phase.U.K.

2.4.6.7.In the case of an SCR, the urea injection shall be performed in accordance with the strategy defined by the manufacturer of the replacement pollution control device.’;”U.K.

Appendix 6 Drain and weigh procedure

1.The engine shall be filled with new oil. If a constant volume oil sump system (as described in ASTM standard D7156-09) is used, the oil pump shall be turned on while filling the engine. Enough oil charge shall be added to fill up both the engine and external sump.U.K.

2.The engine shall be started and operated over the desired test cycle (see points 2.2.15 and 2.4.4.8.3.1) for a minimum of 1 hour.U.K.

3.Once the cycle is complete, oil temperature shall be allowed to stabilise at a steady-state engine condition before shutting the engine down.U.K.

4.A clean, empty oil drain pan shall be weighed.U.K.

5.Any clean supplies that are to be used during the oil drain (e.g. rags) shall be weighed.U.K.

6.The oil shall be drained for 10 minutes with the external oil pump (if equipped) powered on followed by an additional ten minutes with the pump powered off. If a constant volume sump system is not used, the oil shall be drained from the engine for a total of 20 minutes.U.K.

7.The drained oil shall be weighed.U.K.

8.The weight determined in accordance with step 7 shall be subtracted from the weight determined in accordance with step 4. The difference corresponds to the total weight of the oil removed from the engine and collected in the drain pan.U.K.

9.The oil shall be carefully returned to the engine.U.K.

10.The empty drain pan shall be weighted.U.K.

11.The weight determined in accordance with step 10 shall be subtracted from the weight determined in accordance with step 4. The result corresponds to the weight of the residual oil in the drain pan that was not returned to the engine.U.K.

12.Any dirty supplies which have previously been weighed pursuant to step 5 shall be weighed.U.K.

13.The weight determined in accordance with step 12 shall be subtracted from the weight determined in accordance with step 5. The result corresponds to the weight of the residual oil which remained on the dirty supplies that was not returned to the engine.U.K.

14.The residual oil weights calculated in accordance with steps 11 and 13 shall be subtracted from the total weight of the oil removed, calculated in accordance with step 8. The difference between those weights corresponds to the total weight of the oil returned to the engine.U.K.

15.The engine shall be operated under the desired test cycle(s) (see points 2.2.15 and 2.4.4.8.3.1).U.K.

16.Steps 3-8 shall be repeated.U.K.

17.The weight of the oil drained pursuant to step 16 shall be subtracted from the weight obtained in accordance with step 14. The difference between those weights corresponds to the total weight of the oil consumed.U.K.

18.The total weight of the oil consumed calculated pursuant to step 14 shall be divided by the duration, in hours, of the test cycles carried out in accordance with step 15. The result is the lubricant consumption rate.U.K.
