( 1 ) The values referred to in the specifications are “true values”. When establishing the value limits, the terms of ISO 4259 Petroleum
products — Determination and application of precision data in relation to methods of test were applied. When fixing a
minimum value, a minimum difference of 2R above zero was taken into account. When fixing a maximum and minimum
value, the minimum difference used was 4R (R = reproducibility). Notwithstanding this procedure, which is necessary for
technical reasons, fuel manufacturers shall aim for a zero value where the stipulated maximum value is 2R and for the mean
value for quotations of maximum and minimum limits. Where it is necessary to clarify whether fuel meets the requirements of
the specifications, the ISO 4259 terms shall be applied.
( 2 ) In cases of dispute, the procedures for resolving the dispute and interpretation of the results based on test method precision,
described in EN ISO 4259 shall be used.
( 3 ) In cases of national dispute concerning sulphur content, either EN ISO 20846 or EN ISO 20884 shall be called up similar to the
reference in the national annex of EN 228.
( 4 ) The actual sulphur content of the fuel used for the Type 6 test shall be reported.

(6) Annex XI is amended as follows:
(a) the following point 2.14 is added:
‘2.14. As from 1 September 2011, in deviation from point 3.3.5 of Annex 11 to UN/ECE Regulation No 83, a
particulate trap, where fitted as a separate unit or integrated into a combined emission control device,
shall always be monitored at least for total failure or removal if the latter resulted in exceeding the
applicable emission limits. It shall also be monitored for any failure that would result in exceeding the
applicable OBD threshold limits.’;
(b) point 3.3 is replaced by the following:
‘3.3. The approval authority shall not accept any deficiency request that includes the complete lack of a required
diagnostic monitor or of mandated recording and reporting of data related to a monitor.’;
(c) Appendix 1 is amended as follows:
(i) points 3.1.7 and 3.1.8 are replaced by the following:
‘3.1.7. The manufacturer shall demonstrate to the approval authority and, upon request, to the Commission
that these statistical conditions are satisfied for all monitors required to be reported by the OBD
system according to point 3.6 of this Appendix not later than 18 months after the entry onto the
market of the first vehicle type with IUPR in an OBD family and every 18 months thereafter. For
this purpose, for OBD families consisting of more than 1 000 registrations in the Union, that are
subject to sampling within the sampling period, the process described in Annex II shall be used
without prejudice to the provisions of point 3.1.9 of this Appendix.
In addition to the requirements set out in Annex II and regardless of the result of the audit described
in Section 2 of Annex II, the authority granting the approval shall apply the in-service conformity
check for IUPR described in Appendix 1 to Annex II in an appropriate number of randomly
determined cases. “In an appropriate number of randomly determined cases” means, that this
measure has a dissuasive effect on non-compliance with the requirements of Section 3 of this
Annex or the provision of manipulated, false or non-representative data for the audit. If no
special circumstances apply and can be demonstrated by the type-approval authorities, random

given OBD family as long as these arrangements do not harm the dissuasive effect of the type-
approval authority’s own in-service conformity check on non-compliance with the requirements of
Section 3 of this Annex. Data collected by Member States during surveillance testing programmes
may be used for in-service conformity checks. Upon request, type-approval authorities shall provide
data on the audits and random in-service conformity checks performed, including the methodology
used for identifying those cases, which are made subject to the random in-service conformity check,
to the Commission and other type-approval authorities.
3.1.8. For the entire test sample of vehicles the manufacturer must report to the relevant authorities all of
the in-use performance data to be reported by the OBD system according to point 3.6 of this
Appendix in conjunction with an identification of the vehicle being tested and the methodology
used for the selection of the tested vehicles from the fleet. Upon request, the type-approval authority
granting the approval shall make these data and the results of the statistical evaluation available to
the Commission and other approval authorities.’;
(ii) the following point 3.1.10 is added:
‘3.1.10. Non-compliance with the requirements of point 3.1.6 established by tests described in points 3.1.7
or 3.1.9 shall be considered as an infringement subject to the penalties set out in Article 13 of
Regulation (EC) No 715/2007. This reference does not limit the application of such penalties to
other infringements of other provisions of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 or this Regulation, which
do no explicitly refer to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007.’;
(iii) in point 3.3.2, the following points (e) and (f) are added:
‘(e) without prejudice to requirements for the increment of denominators of other monitors the
denominators of monitors of the following components shall be incremented if and only if the
driving cycle started with a cold start:
(i) liquid (oil, engine coolant, fuel, SCR reagent) temperature sensors;
(ii) clean air (ambient air, intake air, charge air, inlet manifold) temperature sensors;
(iii) exhaust (EGR recirculation/cooling, exhaust gas turbo-charging, catalyst) temperature sensors;
(f) the denominators of monitors of the boost pressure control system shall be incremented if the all of the
following conditions are met:
(i) the general denominator conditions are fulfilled;
(ii) the boost pressure control system is active for a time greater than or equal to 15 seconds.’;
(iv) point 3.6.2 is replaced by the following:
‘3.6.2. For specific components or systems that have multiple monitors, which are required to be reported
by this point (e.g. oxygen sensor bank 1 may have multiple monitors for sensor response or other
sensor characteristics), the OBD system shall separately track numerators and denominators for each
of the specific monitors except those monitoring for short circuit or open circuit failures and report
only the corresponding numerator and denominator for the specific monitor that has the lowest
numerical ratio. If two or more specific monitors have identical ratios, the corresponding numerator
and denominator for the specific monitor that has the highest denominator shall be reported for the
specific component.’;
(7) Annex XII is amended as follows:
(a) point 2.3 is replaced by the following:
‘2.3. Point 5.2.4 of UN/ECE Regulation No 101 shall read:
(1) density: measured on the test fuel according to ISO 3675 or an equivalent method. For petrol, diesel,
biodiesel and ethanol (E85 end E75) the density measured at 15 °C will be used; for LPG and natural
gas/biomethane a reference density shall be used, as follows:

to the monitor according to points 3.1.4 and 3.1.5 of Appendix 1 to Annex XI.
3. SELECTION
OF
VEHICLES
FOR
IN-SERVICE
CONFORMITY
3.1. The
information
gathered
by
the
manufacturer
shall
be
sufficiently
comprehensive
to
ensure
that
in-service
performance can be assessed for normal conditions of use. The manufacturer’s sampling shall be drawn from
at least two Member States with substantially different vehicle operating conditions (unless only sold in one
Member State). Factors such as differences in fuels, ambient conditions, average road speeds, and urban/highway
driving split shall be taken into consideration in the selection of the Member States.
For OBD IUPR M testing only vehicles fulfilling the criteria of point 2.2.1 of Appendix 1 shall be included in the
test sample.
3.2.
In selecting the Member States for sampling vehicles, the manufacturer may select vehicles from a Member State
that is considered to be particularly representative. In this case, the manufacturer shall demonstrate to the
approval authority which granted the type approval that the selection is representative (e.g. by the market
having the largest annual sales of a vehicle family within the Union). When a family requires more than one
sample lot to be tested as defined in point 3.5, the vehicles in the second and third sample lots shall reflect
different vehicle operating conditions from those selected for the first sample.
3.3.
The emissions testing may be done at a test facility which is located in a different market or region from where
the vehicles have been selected.
3.4.
The in-service tailpipe emissions conformity tests by the manufacturer shall be continuously carried out reflecting
the production cycle of applicable vehicles types within a given in-service vehicle family. The maximum time
period between commencing two in-service conformity checks shall not exceed 18 months. In the case of vehicle
types covered by an extension to the type-approval that did not require an emissions test, this period may be
extended up to 24 months.
3.5. Sample
size
3.5.1. When applying the statistical procedure defined in Appendix 2 (i.e. for tailpipe emissions), the number of sample
lots shall depend on the annual sales volume of an in-service family in the Union, as defined in the following
table:
EU Registrations
— per calendar year (for tailpipe emission tests),
Number of sample lots
— of vehicles of an OBD family with IUPR in the sampling period
up to 100 000
1
100 001 to 200 000
2
above 200 000
3
3.5.2. For
IUPR,
the
number
of
sample
lots
to be
taken
is
described
in
the
table
in
point
3.5.1
and
is
based
on the
number of vehicles of an OBD family that are approved with IUPR (subject to sampling).
For the first sampling period of an OBD family, all of the vehicle types in the family that are approved with IUPR
shall be considered to be subject to sampling. For subsequent sampling periods, only vehicle types which have
not been previously tested or are covered by emissions approvals that have been extended since the previous
sampling period shall be considered to be subject to sampling.
For families consisting of fewer than 5 000 EU registrations that are subject to sampling within the sampling
period the minimum number of vehicles in a sample lot is six. For all other families, the minimum number of
vehicles in a sample lot to be sampled is fifteen.
Each sample lot shall adequately represent the sales pattern, i.e. at least high volume vehicle types (≥ 20 % of the
family total) shall be represented.
4.
On the basis of the audit referred to in Section 2 the approval authority shall adopt one of the following
decisions and actions:
(a) decide that the in-service conformity of a vehicle type, vehicle in-service family or vehicle OBD family is
satisfactory and not take any further action;
(b) decide that the data provided by the manufacturer is insufficient to reach a decision and request additional
information or test data from the manufacturer;

---

EN
16.6.2011 Official
Journal
of
the
European
Union L
158/17
(c) decide that based on data from the approval authority or Member State surveillance testing programmes, that
information provided by the manufacturer is insufficient to reach a decision and request additional
information or test data from the manufacturer;
(d) decide that the in-service conformity of a vehicle type, that is part of an in-service family, or of an OBD
family, is unsatisfactory and proceed to have such vehicle type or OBD family tested in accordance with
Appendix 1.
If according to the IUPR M audit the test criteria of point 6.1.2 point (a) or (b) of Appendix 1 are met for the
vehicles in a sample lot, the type-approval authority must take the further action described in point (d) of this
point.
4.1. Where
type
1
tests
are
considered
necessary
to
check
the
conformity
of
emission
control
devices
with
the
requirements for their performance while in service, such tests shall be carried out using a test procedure
meeting the statistical criteria defined in Appendix 2.
4.2.
The approval authority, in cooperation with the manufacturer, shall select a sample of vehicles with sufficient
mileage whose use under normal conditions can be reasonably assured. The manufacturer shall be consulted on
the choice of the vehicles in the sample and allowed to attend the confirmatory checks of the vehicles.
4.3.
The manufacturer shall be authorised, under the supervision of the approval authority, to carry out checks, even
of a destructive nature, on those vehicles with emission levels in excess of the limit values with a view to
establishing possible causes of deterioration which cannot be attributed to the manufacturer (e.g. use of leaded
petrol before the test date). Where the results of the checks confirm such causes, those test results shall be
excluded from the conformity check.

Appendix 1
In-service conformity check
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1.
This Appendix sets out the criteria referred to in Section 4 regarding the selection of vehicles for testing and the
procedures for the in-service conformity control.
2. SELECTION
CRITERIA
The criteria for acceptance of a selected vehicle are defined for tailpipe emissions in points 2.1 to 2.8 and for
IUPR M in Sections 2.1 to 2.5.
2.1.
The vehicle shall belong to a vehicle type that is type-approved under this Regulation and covered by a certificate
of conformity in accordance with Directive 2007/46/EC. For checking of IUPR M , the vehicle shall be approved to
the OBD standards Euro 5+, Euro 6- plus IUPR or later. It shall be registered and have been used in the Union.
2.2.
The vehicle shall have been in service for at least 15 000 km or 6 months, whichever the later, and for no more
than 100 000 km or 5 years, whichever the sooner.
2.2.1. For
checking
IUPR M , the test sample shall include only vehicles that:
(a) have collected sufficient vehicle operation data for the monitor to be tested.
For monitors required to meet the in-use monitor performance ratio and to track and report ratio data
pursuant to point 3.6.1 of Appendix 1 to Annex XI, sufficient vehicle operation data shall mean the
denominator meets the criteria set forth below. The denominator, as defined in points 3.3 and 3.5 of
Appendix 1 to Annex XI, for the monitor to be tested must have a value equal to or greater than one of
the following values:
(i) 75 for evaporative system monitors, secondary air system monitors, and monitors utilising a
denominator incremented in accordance with point 3.3.2 points (a), (b) or (c) of Appendix 1 to
Annex XI (e.g. cold start monitors, air conditioning system monitors, etc.); or
(ii) 25 for particulate filter monitors and oxidation catalyst monitors utilising a denominator incremented in
accordance with point 3.3.2(d) of Appendix 1 to Annex XI; or
(iii) 150 for catalyst, oxygen sensor, EGR, VVT, and all other component monitors;
(b) have not been tampered with or equipped with add-on or modified parts that would cause the OBD system
not to comply with the requirements of Annex XI.
2.3.
There shall be a maintenance record to show that the vehicle has been properly maintained (e.g. has been serviced
in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations).
2.4.
The vehicle shall exhibit no indications of abuse (e. g. racing, overloading, mis-fuelling, or other misuse), or other
factors (e. g. tampering) that could affect emission performance. The fault code and mileage information stored in
the computer shall be taken into account. A vehicle shall not be selected for testing if the information stored in
the computer shows that the vehicle has operated after a fault code was stored and a relatively prompt repair was
not carried out.
2.5.
There shall have been no unauthorised major repair to the engine or major repair of the vehicle.
2.6.
The lead content and sulphur content of a fuel sample from the vehicle tank shall meet the applicable standards
laid down in Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 1 ) and there shall be no evidence
of mis-fuelling. Checks may be done in the tailpipe.
2.7.
There shall be no indication of any problem that might jeopardise the safety of laboratory personnel.
2.8. All
anti-pollution
system
components
on
the
vehicle
shall
be
in
conformity
with
the
applicable
type-approval.

3. DIAGNOSIS
AND
MAINTENANCE
Diagnosis and any normal maintenance necessary shall be performed on vehicles accepted for testing, prior to
measuring exhaust emissions, in accordance with the procedure laid down in points 3.1 to 3.7.
3.1.
The following checks shall be carried out: checks on air filter, all drive belts, all fluid levels, radiator cap, all
vacuum hoses and electrical wiring related to the antipollution system for integrity; checks on ignition, fuel
metering and pollution control device components for maladjustments and/or tampering. All discrepancies shall
be recorded.
3.2. The
OBD
system
shall
be
checked
for
proper
functioning.
Any
malfunction
indications
in
the
OBD
memory
shall
be recorded and the requisite repairs shall be carried out. If the OBD malfunction indicator registers a
malfunction during a preconditioning cycle, the fault may be identified and repaired. The test may be rerun
and the results of that repaired vehicle used.
3.3.
The ignition system shall be checked and defective components replaced, for example spark plugs, cables, etc.
3.4.
The compression shall be checked. If the result is unsatisfactory the vehicle shall be rejected.
3.5. The
engine
parameters
shall
be
checked
to
the
manufacturer’s
specifications
and
adjusted
if
necessary.
3.6.
If the vehicle is within 800 km of a scheduled maintenance service, that service shall be performed according to
the manufacturer’s instructions. Regardless of odometer reading, the oil and air filter may be changed at the
request of the manufacturer.
3.7.
Upon acceptance of the vehicle, the fuel shall be replaced with appropriate emission test reference fuel, unless the
manufacturer accepts the use of market fuel.
4. IN-SERVICE
TESTING
4.1. When
a
check
on
vehicles
is
deemed
necessary,
emission
tests
in
accordance
with
Annex
III
are
performed
on
pre-conditioned vehicles selected in accordance with the requirements of Sections 2 and 3 of this Appendix. This
test shall only include the measurement of particle number emissions for vehicles approved to the Euro 6
emission standards in categories W, X and Y as defined in Table 1 of Appendix 6 to Annex I. Pre-conditioning
cycles additional to those specified in points 5.3 of Annex 4 to UN/ECE Regulation No 83 will only be allowed if
they are representative of normal driving.
4.2. Vehicles
equipped
with
an
OBD
system
may
be
checked
for
proper
in-service
functionality,
of
the
malfunction
indication, etc., in relation to levels of emissions (e.g. the malfunction indication limits defined in Annex XI) for
the type-approved specifications.
4.3.
The OBD system may be checked, for example, for levels of emissions above the applicable limit values with no
malfunction indication, systematic erroneous activation of the malfunction indication and identified faulty or
deteriorated components in the OBD system.
4.4.
If a component or system operates in a manner not covered by the particulars in the type-approval certificate
and/or information package for such vehicle types and such deviation has not been authorised under
Article 13(1) or (2) of Directive 2007/46/EC, with no malfunction indication by the OBD, the component or
system shall not be replaced prior to emission testing, unless it is determined that the component or system has
been tampered with or abused in such a manner that the OBD does not detect the resulting malfunction.
5. EVALUATION
OF
EMISSION
TEST
RESULTS
5.1. The
test
results
shall
be
submitted
to
the
evaluation
procedure
in
accordance
with
Appendix
2.
5.2. Test
results
shall
not
be
multiplied

REMEDIAL
MEASURES
6.1.
The approval authority shall request the manufacturer to submit a plan of remedial measures to remedy the non-
compliance when:
6.1.1. For tailpipe emissions, more than one vehicle is found to be an outlying emitter that meets either of the
following conditions:
(a) the conditions set out in point 3.2.3 of Appendix 4 to UN/ECE Regulation No 83 and where both the
approval authority and the manufacturer agree that the excess emission is due to the same cause; or

6.1.2. For IUPR M of a particular monitor M the following statistical conditions are met in a test sample, the size of
which is determined according to point 3.5 of this Annex:
(a) For vehicles certified to a ratio of 0,1 in accordance with point 3.1.5 of Appendix 1 to Annex XI, the data
collected from the vehicles indicate for at least one monitor M in the test sample either that the test sample
average in-use-performance ratio is less than 0,1 or that 66 % or more of the vehicles in the test sample have
an in-use monitor performance ratio of less than 0,1.
(b) For vehicles certified to the full ratios in accordance with point 3.1.4 of Appendix 1 to Annex XI, the data
collected from the vehicles indicate for at least one monitor M in the test sample either that the test sample
average in-use performance ratio in the test sample is less than the value Test min (M) or that 66 % or more of
the vehicles in the test sample have an in-use performance ratio of less than Test min (M).
The value of Test min (M) shall be:
(i) 0,230 if the monitor M is required to have an in-use ratio of 0,26;
(ii) 0,460 if the monitor M is required to have an in-use ratio of 0,52;
(iii) 0,297 if the monitor M is required to have an in-use ratio of 0,336;
according to point 3.1.4 of Appendix 1 to Annex XI.
6.2.
The plan of remedial measures shall be filed with the type-approval authority not later than 60 working days
from the date of the notification referred to in point 6.1. The type-approval authority shall within 30 working
days declare its approval or disapproval of the plan of remedial measures. However, where the manufacturer can
demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the competent approval authority, that further time is required to investigate
the non-compliance in order to submit a plan of remedial measures, an extension shall be granted.
6.3.
The remedial measures shall apply to all vehicles likely to be affected by the same defect. The need to amend the
type-approval documents shall be assessed.
6.4.
The manufacturer shall provide a copy of all communications related to the plan of remedial measures, and shall
also maintain a record of the recall campaign, and supply regular status reports to the approval authority.
6.5.

support the decision of the manufacturer as to the particular measures to be taken to correct the non-conformity.
6.5.3. A description of the method by which the manufacturer informs the vehicle owners.
6.5.4. A description of the proper maintenance or use, if any, which the manufacturer stipulates as a condition of
eligibility for repair under the plan of remedial measures, and an explanation of the reasons why the manu
facturer imposes any such condition. No maintenance or use conditions may be imposed unless it is demon
strably related to the non-conformity and the remedial measures.
6.5.5. A description of the procedure to be followed by vehicle owners to obtain correction of the non-conformity. This
description shall include a date after which the remedial measures may be taken, the estimated time for the
workshop to perform the repairs and where they can be done. The repair shall be done expediently, within a
reasonable time after delivery of the vehicle.
6.5.6. A copy of the information transmitted to the vehicle owner.
6.5.7. A brief description of the system which the manufacturer uses to assure an adequate supply of component or
systems for fulfilling the remedial action. It shall be indicated when there will be an adequate supply of
components or systems to initiate the campaign.
6.5.8. A copy of all instructions to be sent to those persons who are to perform the repair.
6.5.9. A description of the impact of the proposed remedial measures on the emissions, fuel consumption, driveability,
and safety of each vehicle type, covered by the plan of remedial measures with data and technical studies which
support these conclusions.
