These similarities shall be demonstrated by the manufacturer

by means of relevant engineering demonstration or other

appropriate procedures and subject to the approval of the

Approval Authority.

The manufacturer may request approval by the Approval

Authority of minor differences in the methods of

monitoring/diagnosing the NCD system due to engine

system configuration variation, when these methods are

considered similar by the manufacturer and they differ only

in order to match specific characteristics of the components

under consideration (for example size, exhaust flow, etc.); or

their similarities are based on good engineering judgement.

3. Maintenance requirements

3.1 The manufacturer shall furnish or cause to be furnished

to all owners of new engines or machines written

instructions about the emission control system and its

correct operation.

These instructions shall state that if the emission control

informed of a problem by the operator warning system and

that activation of the operator inducement system as a

consequence of ignoring this warning will result in the

machine being unable to conduct its mission.

3.2. The instructions shall indicate requirements for the

proper use and maintenance of engines in order to maintain

their emissions performance, including where relevant the

proper use of consumable reagents.

3.3. The instructions shall be written in a clear and non-

technical manner using the same language as is used in the

operator’s manual on the non-road mobile machinery or

engine.

reagents have to be refilled by the operator between normal

maintenance intervals. The instructions shall also specify

the required reagent quality. They shall indicate how the

operator should refill the reagent tank. The information shall

also indicate a likely rate of reagent consumption for the

engine type and how often it should be replenished.

3.5. The instructions shall state that use of, and refilling of,

a required reagent of the correct specifications is essential in

order for the engine to comply with the requirements for the

issuing of the type approval for that engine type.

4.1. The machine shall include an operator warning system

using visual alarms that informs the operator when a low

reagent level, incorrect reagent quality, interruption of

dosing or a malfunction of the type specified in paragraph 9

has been detected that will lead to activation of the operator

inducement system if not rectified in a timely manner. The

warning system shall remain active when the operator

inducement system described in paragraph 5 has been

activated.

4.2. The warning shall not be the same as the warning used

for the purposes of signalling a malfunction or other engine

maintenance, though it may use the same warning system.

4.3. The operator warning system may consist of one or

more lamps, or display short messages, which may include,

for example, messages indicating clearly

-

the remaining time before activation of the low-level

and/or severe inducements,

-

the amount of low-level and/or severe inducement, for

example the amount of torque reduction,

-

the conditions under which machine disablement can be

cleared.

Where messages are displayed, the system used for

displaying these messages may be the same as the one used

The machine shall include an indicator that clearly informs

the operator of the level of reagent in the reagent storage

tank. The minimum acceptable performance level for the

reagent indicator is that it shall continuously indicate the

reagent level whilst the operator warning system referred to

in paragraph 4 is activated. The reagent indicator may be in

the form of an analogue or digital display, and may show the

level as a proportion of the full tank capacity, the amount of

remaining reagent, or the estimated operating hours

remaining.

6.2. Activation of the operator warning system

6.2.1.The operator warning system specified in paragraph 4

shall be activated when the level of reagent goes below 10%

of the capacity of the reagent tank or a higher percentage at

the choice of the manufacturer.

understand that the reagent level is low. When the warning

system includes a message display system, the visual

warning shall display a message indicating a low level of

reagent (for example "urea level low", "AdBlue level low",

or "reagent low").

6.2.3.The operator warning system does not initially need to

be continuously activated (for example a message does not

need to be continuously displayed), however activation shall

escalate in intensity so that it becomes continuous as the

level of the reagent approaches empty and the point where

the operator inducement system will come into effect is

approached (for example frequency at which a lamp

flashes). It shall culminate in an operator notification at a

level that is at the choice of the manufacturer, but

sufficiently more noticeable at the point where the operator

inducement system in paragraph 6.3 comes into effect than

when it was first activated.

6.2.4.The continuous warning shall not be easily disabled or

ignored. When the warning system includes a message

display system, an explicit message shall be displayed (for

example "fill up urea", "fill up AdBlue", or "fill up

reagent"). The continuous warning may be temporarily

interrupted by other warning signals providing important

safety related messages.

6.2.5It shall not be possible to turn off the operating warning

system until the reagent has been replenished to a level not

requiring its activation.

6.3. Activation of the operator inducement system

6.3.1. The low-level inducement system described in

paragraph 5.3 shall be activated if the reagent tank level

goes below 2,5% of its nominally full capacity or a higher

percentage at the choice of the manufacturer.

6.3.2. The severe inducement system described in paragraph

5.4 shall be activated if the reagent tank is empty (that is,

when the dosing system is unable to draw further reagent

from the tank) or at any level below 2,5% of its nominally

full capacity at the discretion of the manufacturer.

6.3.3. Except to the extent permitted by paragraph 5.5, it

shall not be possible to turn off the low-level or severe

inducement system until the reagent has been replenished to

a level not requiring their respective activation.

7. Reagent quality monitoring

7.1. The engine or machine shall include a means of

determining the presence of an incorrect reagent on board a

machine.

7.1.1.The manufacturer shall specify a minimum acceptable

reagent concentration CDmin, which results in tailpipe NO x

emissions not exceeding a threshold of 0,9 g/kWh.

7.1.1.1.The correct value of CDmin shall be demonstrated

during type approval by the procedure defined in Section 12

and recorded in the extended documentation package as

specified in Section 8 of Schedule I.

7.1.2.Any reagent concentration lower than CDmin shall be

detected and be regarded, for the purpose of Section 7.1, as

being incorrect reagent.

7.1.3.A specific counter ("the reagent quality counter") shall

be attributed to the reagent quality. The reagent quality

counter shall count the number of engine operating hours

with an incorrect reagent.

7.1.3.1.Optionally, the manufacturer may group the reagent

quality failure together with one or more of the failures

listed in Sections 8 and 9 into a single counter.

7.1.4.Details of the reagent quality counter activation and

deactivation criteria and mechanisms are described in

Section 11.

7.2. Activation of the operator warning system

When the monitoring system confirms that the reagent

quality is incorrect, the operator warning system described

in paragraph 4 shall be activated. When the warning system

includes a message display system, it shall display a

message indicating the reason of the warning (for example

"incorrect urea detected", "incorrect AdBlue detected", or

"incorrect reagent detected").

7.3. Activation of the operator inducement system

7.3.1.The low-level inducement system described in

paragraph 5.3 shall be activated if the reagent quality is not

rectified within a maximum of 10 engine operating hours

after the activation of the operator warning system described

in paragraph 7.2.

7.3.2.The severe inducement system described in paragraph

5.4 shall be activated if the reagent quality is not rectified

within a maximum of 20 engine operating hours after the

activation of the operator warning system in described

paragraph 7.2.

7.3.3.The number of hours prior to activation of the

inducement systems shall be reduced in case of a repetitive

occurrence of the malfunction according to the mechanism

described in Section 11.

8. Reagent dosing activity

8.1. The engine shall include a means of determining

interruption of dosing.

8.2. Reagent dosing activity counter

8.2.1.A specific counter shall be attributed to the dosing

activity (the "dosing activity counter"). The counter shall

count the number of engine operating hours which occur

with an interruption of the reagent dosing activity. This is

not required where such interruption is demanded by the

engine ECU because the machine operating conditions are

such that the machine’s emission performance does not

require reagent dosing.

8.2.1.1.Optionally, the manufacturer may group the reagent

dosing failure together with one or more of the failures

listed in Sections 7 and 9 into a single counter.

8.2.2.Details of the reagent dosing activity counter

activation and deactivation criteria and mechanisms are

described in Section 11.

8.3. Activation of the operator warning system

The operator warning system described in paragraph 4 shall

be activated in the case of interruption of dosing which sets

the dosing activity counter in accordance with paragraph

8.2.1. When the warning system includes a message display

system, it shall display a message indicating the reason of

the warning (e.g. "urea dosing malfunction", "AdBlue

dosing malfunction", or "reagent dosing malfunction").

8.4. Activation of the operator inducement system

8.4.1.The low-level inducement system described in

paragraph 5.3 shall be activated if an interruption in reagent

dosing is not rectified within a maximum of 10 engine

operating hours after the activation of the operator warning

system in paragraph 8.3.

8.4.2.The severe inducement system described in paragraph

5.4 shall be activated if an interruption in reagent dosing is

not rectified within a maximum of 20 engine operating hours

after the activation of the operator warning system in

paragraph 8.3.

8.4.3.The number of hours prior to activation of the

inducement systems shall be reduced in case of a repetitive

occurrence of the malfunction according to the mechanism

described in Section 11.

9. Monitoring failures that may be attributed to

tampering

9.1. In addition to the level of reagent in the reagent tank,

the reagent quality, and the interruption of dosing, the

following failures shall be monitored because they may be

attributed to tampering

(i) impeded EGR valve;

(ii) failures of the NO x Control Diagnostic (NCD) system,

as described in paragraph 9.2.1.

9.2. Monitoring requirements

9.2.1The NO x Control Diagnostic (NCD) system shall be

monitored for electrical failures and for removal or

deactivation of any sensor that prevents it from diagnosing

any other failures mentioned in paragraphs 6 to 8

(component monitoring).

A non-exhaustive list of sensors that affect the diagnostic

capability are those directly measuring NO x concentration,

urea quality sensors, ambient sensors and sensors used for

monitoring reagent dosing activity, reagent level, or reagent

consumption.

9.2.2.EGR valve counter

9.2.2.1.A specific counter shall be attributed to an impeded

EGR valve. The EGR valve counter shall count the number

of engine operating hours when the DTC associated to an

impeded EGR valve is confirmed to be active.

deactivation criteria and mechanisms are described in

Section 11.

9.2.3.NCD system counter(s)

9.2.3.1.A specific counter shall be attributed to each of the

monitoring failures considered in paragraph 9.1 (ii). The

NCD system counters shall count the number of engine

operating hours when the DTC associated to a malfunction

of the NCD system is confirmed to be active. Grouping of

several faults into a single counter is permitted.

9.2.3.1.1.Optionally, the manufacturer may group the NCD

system failure together with one or more of the failures

listed in Sections 7, 8 and 9.2.2 into a single counter.

9.2.3.2.Details of the NCD system counter(s) activation and

deactivation criteria and mechanisms are described in

Section 11.

9.3. Activation of the operator warning system

The operator warning system described in paragraph 4 shall

be activated in case any of the failures specified in

paragraph 9.1 occur, and shall indicate that an urgent repair

is required. When the warning system includes a message

display system, it shall display a message indicating the

reason of the warning (for example "reagent dosing valve

disconnected", or "critical emission failure").

9.4. Activation of the operator inducement system

9.4.1.The low-level inducement system described in

paragraph 5.3 shall be activated if a failure specified in

paragraph 9.1 is not rectified within a maximum of 36

engine operating hours after the activation of the operator

warning system in paragraph 9.3.

-

the NO x value shall not exceed a threshold of 0,9 g/

kWh,

-

use of a single failure "high NO x — root cause

unknown" may be used,

-

Section 9.4.1 shall read "within 10 engine hours",

-

Section 9.4.2 shall read "within 20 engine hours".

erased.

10.3.3.4.At the request of the manufacturer, and with the

agreement of the approval authority, the failures subject to

testing may be simulated.

10.3.3.5.Detection of failures other than lack of reagent

For failures other than lack of reagent, once the failure

installed or simulated, the detection of that failure shall be

performed as follows

10.3.3.5.1.The NCD system shall respond to the

introduction of a failure selected as appropriate by the type

approval authority in accordance to the provisions of this

Appendix. This is considered to be demonstrated if

activation occurs within two consecutive NCD test-cycles

according to paragraph 10.3.3.7 of this Appendix.

When it has been specified in the monitoring description and

agreed by the Approval Authority that a specific monitor

needs more than two NCD test-cycles to complete its

monitoring, the number of NCD test-cycles may be

increased to three NCD test-cycles.

Each individual NCD test-cycle in the demonstration test

may be separated by an engine shut-off. The time until the

of the Approval Authority, an alternative NCD test- cycle

can be used (e.g. the NRSC) for a specific monitor. The

request shall contain elements (technical considerations,

simulation, test results, etc.) demonstrating

(a) the requested test-cycle results in a monitor that will

run in real world driving, and

(b) the applicable NCD test-cycle specified in paragraph

10.3.3.7.1 is shown to be less appropriate for the considered

monitoring.

Description of the operator warning and inducement

activation and deactivation mechanisms

11.1.To complement the requirements specified in this

Schedule concerning the warning and inducement activation

and deactivation mechanisms, this Section 11 specifies the

technical requirements for an implementation of those

activation and deactivation mechanisms.

11.2.Activation and deactivation mechanisms of the warning

system

11.2.1.The operator warning system shall be activated when

the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) associated with a NCM

justifying its activation has the status defined in Table 2 of

this Appendix.

11.2.2.1.1.Erasing/resetting "NO x control information" by a

scan-tool

On request of the scan tool, the following data shall be

erased or reset to the value specified in this Appendix from

the computer memory (see Table 3).

11.2.2.1.2.NO x control information shall not be erased by

disconnection of the machine’s battery(s).

11.2.2.1.3.The erasing of "NO x control information" shall

only be possible under "engine-off" conditions.

11.2.2.1.4.When "NO x control information" including DTCs

are erased, any counter reading associated with these

failures and which is specified in this Schedule shall not be

erased, but reset to the value specified in the appropriate

section of this Schedule.

11.3. Activation and deactivation mechanism of the operator

inducement system

11.3.1.The operator inducement system shall be activated

when the warning system is active and the counter relevant

to the type of NCM justifying its activation has reached the

value specified in Table 4 of this Appendix.

11.3.2.The operator inducement system shall be deactivated

when the system no longer detects a malfunction justifying

its activation, or if the information including the DTCs

relative to the NCMs justifying its activation has been

erased by a scan tool or maintenance tool.

11.3.3.The operator warning and inducement systems shall

be immediately activated or deactivated as appropriate

according to the provisions of Section 6 of this Schedule

after assessment of the reagent quantity in the reagent tank.

In that case, the activation or deactivation mechanisms shall

not depend upon the status of any associated DTC.

11.4.Counter mechanism

11.4.1.General

11.4.1.1.To comply with the requirements of this Schedule,

the system shall contain at least four counters to record the

number of hours during which the engine has been operated

while the system has detected any of the following

(a) an incorrect reagent quality;

(b) an interruption of reagent dosing activity;

(c) an impeded EGR valve;

(d) a failure of the NCD system according to Section

9.1(ii) of this Schedule.

11.4.1.1.1.Optionally, the manufacturer may use one or more

counters for grouping the failures indicated in Section

11.4.1.1.

11.4.1.2.Each of the counters shall count up to the maximum

value provided in a 2 byte counter with 1 hour resolution

and hold that value unless the conditions allowing the

counter to be reset to zero are met.

11.4.1.3.A manufacturer may use a single or multiple NCD

system counters. A single counter may accumulate the

number of hours of two or more different malfunctions

relevant to that type of counter, none of them having reached

the time the single counter indicates.

11.4.1.3.1When the manufacturer decides to use multiple

NCD system counters, the system shall be capable of

assigning a specific monitoring system counter to each

malfunction relevant according to this Schedule to that type

of counters.

11.4.2.Principle of counters mechanism

11.4.2.1.Each of the counters shall operate as follows

11.4.2.1.1.If starting from zero, the counter shall begin

counting as soon as a malfunction relevant to that counter is

detected and the corresponding diagnostic trouble code

(DTC) has the status defined in Table 2.

11.4.2.1.2.In case of repeated failures, one of the following

provisions shall apply at the choice of the manufacturer.

(i) If a single monitoring event occurs and the malfunction

that originally activated the counter is no longer detected or

if the failure has been erased by a scan tool or a maintenance

tool, the counter shall halt and hold its current value. If the

counter stops counting when the severe inducement system

is active, the counter shall be kept frozen at the value

defined in Table 4 of this Appendix or a value of greater

than or equal to the counter value for severe inducement

minus 30 minutes.

(ii) The counter shall be kept frozen at the value defined in

Table 4 of this Appendix or a value greater than or equal to

the counter value for severe inducement minus 30 minutes.

11.4.2.1.3.In the case of a single monitoring system counter,

that counter shall continue counting if a NCM relevant to

that counter has been detected and its corresponding

Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has the status "confirmed

and active". It shall halt and hold one of the values specified

in Section 11.4.2.1.2, if no NCM that would justify the

counter activation is detected or if all the failures relevant to

that counter have been erased by a scan tool or a

maintenance tool.

deactivation and counter mechanisms for some typical

cases. The figures and descriptions given in paragraphs

11.5.2, 11.5.3 and 11.5.4 are provided solely for the

purposes of illustration in this Schedule and should not be

referenced as examples of either the requirements of these

regulations or as definitive statements of the processes

involved. The counter hours in Figures 6 and 7 refer to

the maximum severe inducement values in Table 4. For

simplification purposes, for example, the fact that the

warning system will also be active when the inducement

system is active has not been mentioned in the

illustrations given.

refills the reagent tank so that a level above the 10%

threshold is reached. Warning and inducement are de-

activated;

-

refilling cases 2 and 3 ("inadequate" refilling): the

warning system is activated. The level of warning

depends on the amount of available reagent;

-

refilling case 4 ("very inadequate" refilling): the low

level inducement is activated immediately.

disablement of the machine, the operator changes the

quality of the reagent, but soon after, changes it again for

a poor quality one. The inducement system is

immediately reactivated and machine operation is

disabled after 2 engine operating hours;

-

repair case 2 ("good" repair): after disablement of

the machine, the operator rectifies the quality of the

reagent. However some time afterwards, he refills again

with a poor quality reagent. The warning, inducement and

counting processes restart from zero.

machine in spite of the warning until machine operation is

disabled;

-

repair case 1 ("good" repair): after disablement of

the machine, the operator repairs the dosing system.

However some time afterwards, the dosing system fails

again. The warning, inducement and counting processes

restart from zero;

-

repair case 2 ("bad" repair): during the low-level

inducement time (torque reduction), the operator repairs

the dosing system. Soon after, however, the dosing system

fails again. The low-level inducement system is

immediately reactivated and the counter restarts from the

value it had at the time of repair.

"Appendix 5

Durability requirements

1. VERIFYING THE DURABILITY OF STAGE IIIA AND

STAGE IIIB CI ENGINES

This Appendix shall apply to CI engines Stage IIIA and

IIIB only.

Manufacturers shall determine a Deterioration Factor (DF)

value for each regulated pollutant for all Stage IIIA and

IIIB engine families. Such DFs shall be used for type

approval and production line testing.

Test to establish DFs shall be conducted as follows

The manufacturer shall conduct durability tests to

accumulate engine operating hours according to a test

schedule that is selected on the basis of good engineering

judgement to be representative of in-use engine operation

in respect to characterising emission performance

deterioration. The durability test period should typically

represent the equivalent of at least one quarter of the

emission durability period (EDP).

Service accumulation operating hours may be acquired

through running engines on a dynamometer test bed or

from actual infield machine operation. Accelerated

durability tests can be applied whereby the service

accumulation schedule is performed at a higher load factor

than typically experienced in the field. The acceleration

factor relating the number of engine durability test hours to

the equivalent number of EDP hours shall be determined by

the engine manufacturer based on good engineering

judgement.

During the period of the durability test, no emission

sensitive components can be serviced or replaced other

than to the routine service schedule recommended by the

manufacturer.

The test engine, subsystems, or components to be used to

determine exhaust emission DFs for an engine family, or

for engine families of equivalent emission control system

technology, shall be selected by the engine manufacturer on

the basis of good engineering judgement. The criterion is

that the test engine should represent the emission

deterioration characteristics of the engine families that will

apply the resulting DF values for type approval. Engines of

different bore and stroke, different configuration, different

air management systems, different fuel systems can be

considered as equivalent in respect to emissions

deterioration characteristics if there is a reasonable

technical basis for such determination.

DF values from another manufacturer can be applied if

there is a reasonable basis for considering technology

equivalence with respect to emissions deterioration, and

evidence that the tests have been carried according to the

specified requirements. Emissions testing shall be

performed according to the procedures defined in these

regulations for the test engine after initial run-in but before

any service accumulation test, and at the completion of the

durability test. Emission tests can also be performed at

intervals during the service accumulation test period and

applied in determining the deterioration trend.

The service accumulation tests or the emissions tests

performed to determine deterioration need not be witnessed

by the approval authority.

Determination of DF values from durability tests

An additive DF is defined as the value obtained by

subtraction of the emission value determine at the

beginning of the EDP from the emissions value determined

to represent the emission performance at the end of the

EDP.

A multiplicative DF is defined as the emission level

determined for the end of the EDP divided by the emission

value recorded at the beginning of the EDP.

Separate DF values shall be established for each of the

pollutants covered by the legislation. In the case of

establishing a DF value relative to the NOx + HC standard,

for an additive DF, this is determined based on the sum of

the pollutants notwithstanding that a negative deterioration

for one pollutant may not offset deterioration for the other.

For a multiplicative NOx + HC DF, separate HC and NOx

DFs shall be determined and applied separately when

calculating the deteriorated emission levels from an

emissions test result before combining the resultant

deteriorated NOx and HC values to establish compliance

with the standard.

In cases where the testing is not conducted for the full EDP,

the emission values at the end of the EDP is determined by

extrapolation of the emission deterioration trend

established for the test period, to the full EDP.

When emissions test results have been recorded

periodically during the service accumulation durability

testing, standard statistical processing techniques based on

good practice shall be applied to determine the emission

levels at the end of the EDP; statistical significance testing

can be applied in the determination of the final emissions

values.

If the calculation results in a value of less than 1,00 for a

multiplicative DF, or less than 0,00 for an additive DF, then

the DF shall be 1,0 or 0,00, respectively.

A manufacturer may, with the approval of the type

approval authority, use DF values established from results

of durability tests conducted to obtain DF values for

certification of on-road HD CI engines. This will be

allowed if there is technological equivalency between the

test on-road engine and the non-road engine families

applying the DF values for certification. The DF values,

derived from on-road engine emission durability test

results, must be calculated on the basis of EDP values

defined in Section 3.

In the case where an engine family uses established

technology, an analysis based on good engineering

practices may be used in lieu of testing to determine a

deterioration factor for that engine family subject to

approval of the type approval authority.

DF information in approval applications

Additive DFs shall be specified for each pollutant in an

engine family approval application for CI engines not using

any after treatment device.

Multiplicative DFs shall be specified for each pollutant in

an engine family certification application for CI engines

using an after treatment device.

The manufacture shall furnish the type-approval authority

on request with information to support the DF values. This

would typically include emission test results, service

accumulation schedule, maintenance procedures together

with information to support engineering judgements of

technological equivalency, if applicable.

2. VERIFYING THE DURABILITY OF STAGE IV CI

ENGINES

General

This section shall apply to CI engines Stage IV. At the

request of the manufacturer it may also be applied to CI

engines stage IIIA and IIIB as an alternative to the

requirements in Section 1 of this Appendix.

This Section 2 details the procedures for selecting

engines to be tested over a service accumulation schedule

for the purpose of determining deterioration factors for

stage IV engine type approval and conformity of

production assessments. The deterioration factors shall be

applied in accordance with paragraph 2.4.7 to the

emissions measured according to Schedule III to these

regulations.

The service accumulation tests or the emissions tests

performed to determine deterioration need not be witnessed

by the approval authority.

This Section 2 also details the emission-related and non-

emission-related maintenance that should be or may be

carried out on engines undergoing a service accumulation

schedule. Such maintenance shall conform to the

maintenance performed on in-service engines and

communicated to owners of new engines.

At the request of the manufacturer, the type-approval

authority may allow the use of deterioration factors that

have been established using alternative procedures to those

specified in Sections 2.4.1 to 2.4.5. In this case, the

manufacturer must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the

approval authority that the alternative procedures that have

been used are no less rigorous than those contained in

Sections 2.4.1 to 2.4.5.

Definitions

Applicable for Section 2 of Appendix 5.

"Ageing cycle" means the machine or engine operation

(speed, load, power) to be executed during the service

accumulation period.

"Critical emission-related components" means the

components which are designed primarily for emission

control, that is, any exhaust after-treatment system, the

electronic engine control unit and its associated sensors

and actuators, and the EGR system including all related

filters, coolers, control valves and tubing.

"Critical emission-related maintenance" means the

maintenance to be performed on critical emission- related

components.

"Emission-related maintenance" means the maintenance

which substantially affects emissions or which is likely to

affect emissions performance deterioration of the vehicle

or the engine during normal in-use operation.

"Engine-after-treatment system family" means a

manufacturer’s grouping of engines that comply with the

definition of engine family, but which are further grouped

into a family of engine families utilising a similar exhaust

after-treatment system.

"Non-emission-related maintenance" means maintenance

which does not substantially affect emissions and which

does not have a lasting affect on the emissions performance

deterioration of the machine or the engine during normal

in-use operation once the maintenance is performed.

"Service accumulation schedule" means the ageing cycle

and the service accumulation period for determining the

deterioration factors for the engine-after-treatment system

family.

Selection of engines for establishing emission durability

period deterioration factors

Engines shall be selected from the engine family defined in

Section 6 of Schedule I to these regulations for emission

testing to establish emission durability period deterioration

factors.

Engines from different engine families may be further

combined into families based on the type of exhaust after-

treatment system utilised. In order to place engines with

different cylinder configuration but having similar

technical specifications and installation for the exhaust

after-treatment systems into the same engine after-

treatment system family, the manufacturer shall provide

data to the approval authority that demonstrates that the

emissions reduction performance of such engine systems is

similar.

One engine representing the engine-after-treatment system

family, as determined in accordance with paragraph 2.3.2,

shall be selected by the engine manufacturer for testing

over the service accumulation schedule defined in

paragraph 2.4.2, and shall be reported to the type-approval

authority before any testing commences.

If the type-approval authority decides that the worst case

emissions of the engine-after-treatment system family can

be characterised better by another engine then the test

engine shall be selected jointly by the type-approval

authority and the engine manufacturer.

Establishing emission durability period deterioration

factors

General

Deterioration factors applicable to an engine-after-

treatment system family are developed from the selected

engines based on a service accumulation schedule that

includes periodic testing for gaseous and particulate

emissions over the NRSC and NRTC tests.

Service accumulation schedule

Service accumulation schedules may be carried out at the

choice of the manufacturer by running a machine equipped

with the selected engine over an "in-service" accumulation

schedule or by running the selected engine over a

"dynamometer service" accumulation schedule.

In-service and dynamometer service accumulation

The manufacturer shall determine the form and duration of

the service accumulation and the ageing cycle for engines

in a manner consistent with good engineering practice.

The manufacturer shall determine the test points where

gaseous and particulate emissions will be measured over

the hot NRTC and NRSC cycles. The minimum number of

test points shall be three, one at the beginning, one

approximately in the middle and one at the end of the

service accumulation schedule.

The emission values at the start point and at the emission

durability period endpoint calculated in accordance with

paragraph 2.4.5.2 shall be within the limit values

applicable to the engine family, but individual emission

results from the test points may exceed those limit values.

2.4.2.1.4. At the request of the manufacturer and with the agreement

of the type-approval authority, only one test cycle (either

the hot NRTC or NRSC cycle) needs to be run at each test

point, with the other test cycle run only at the beginning

and at the end of the service accumulation schedule.

2.4.2.1.5. In the case of constant speed engines, engines below 19

kW, engines above 560 kW, engines intended to be used in

inland waterway vessels and engines for the propulsion of

railcars and locomotives, only the NRSC cycle shall be run

at each test point.

2.4.2.1.6. Service accumulation schedules may be different for

different engine-after-treatment system families.

2.4.2.1.7. Service accumulation schedules may be shorter than the

emission durability period, but shall not be shorter than the

equivalent of at least one quarter of the relevant emission

durability period specified in Section 3 of this Appendix.

2.4.2.1.8. Accelerated ageing by adjusting the service accumulation

schedule on a fuel consumption basis is permitted. The

adjustment shall be based on the ratio between the typical

in-use fuel consumption and the fuel consumption on the

ageing cycle, but fuel consumption on the ageing cycle

must not exceed typical in-use fuel consumption by more

than 30%.

2.4.2.1.9. At the request of the manufacturer and with the agreement

of the type-approval authority, alternative methods of

accelerated ageing may be permitted.

2.4.2.1.10 The service accumulation schedule shall be fully described

in the application for type-approval and reported to the

type-approval authority before the start of any testing.

If the type-approval authority decides that additional

measurements need to be performed between the points

selected by the manufacturer it shall notify the

manufacturer. The revised service accumulation schedule

shall be prepared by the manufacturer and agreed by the

type-approval authority.

Engine testing

Engine system stabilisation

2.4.3.1.1. F o r e a c h e n g i n e - a f t e r - t r e a t m e n t s y s t e m f a m i l y , t h e

manufacturer shall determine the number of hours of

machine or engine running after which the operation of the

engine-after-treatment system has stabilised. If requested

by the approval authority the manufacturer shall make

available the data and analysis used to make this

determination. As an alternative, the manufacturer may

select to run the engine or machine between 60 and 125

hours or the equivalent time on the ageing cycle to stabilise

the engine-after- treatment system.

2.4.3.1.2. The end of the stabilisation period determined in Section

2.4.3.1.1 shall be deemed to be the start of the service

accumulation schedule.

Service accumulation testing

After stabilisation, the engine shall be run over the service

accumulation schedule selected by the manufacturer, as

described in Section 2.3.2. At the periodic intervals in the

service accumulation schedule determined by the

manufacturer, and, where appropriate, also stipulated by

the type-approval authority in accordance with Section

2.4.2.2, the engine shall be tested for gaseous and

particulate emissions over the hot NRTC and NRSC cycles.

The manufacturer may select to measure the pollutant

emissions before any exhaust after-treatment system

separately from the pollutant emissions after any exhaust

after-treatment system.

In accordance with Section 2.4.2.1.4, if it has been agreed

that only one test cycle (hot NRTC or NRSC) be run at each

test point, the other test cycle (hot NRTC or NRSC) shall

be run at the beginning and end of the service accumulation

schedule.

In accordance with Section 2.4.2.1.5, in the case of

constant speed engines, engines below 19 kW, engines

above 560 kW, engines intended to be used in inland

waterway vessels and engines for the propulsion of railcars

and locomotives, only the NRSC cycle shall be run at each

test point.

During the service accumulation schedule, maintenance

shall be carried out on the engine according to Section 2.5.

During the service accumulation schedule, unscheduled

maintenance on the engine or machine may be performed,

for example if the manufacturer’s normal diagnostic system

has detected a problem that would have indicated to the

machine operator that a fault had arisen.

Reporting

The results of all emission tests (hot NRTC and NRSC)

conducted during the service accumulation schedule shall

be made available to the type-approval authority. If any

emission test is declared to be void, the manufacturer shall

provide an explanation of why the test has been declared

void. In such a case, another series of emission tests shall

be carried out within the following 100 hours of service

accumulation.

The manufacturer shall retain records of all information

concerning all the emission tests and maintenance carried

out on the engine during the service accumulation

schedule. This information shall be submitted to the

approval authority along with the results of the emission

tests conducted over the service accumulation schedule.

Determination of deterioration factors

For each pollutant measured over the hot NRTC and NRSC

cycles at each test point during the service accumulation

schedule, a "best fit" linear regression analysis shall be

made on the basis of all test results. The results of each test

for each pollutant shall be expressed to the same number of

decimal places as the limit value for that pollutant, as

applicable to the engine family, plus one additional decimal

place.

In accordance with Section 2.4.2.1.4 or Section 2.4.2.1.5, if

only one test cycle (hot NRTC or NRSC) has been run at

each test point, the regression analysis shall be made only

on the basis of the test results from the test cycle run at

each test point.

At the request of the manufacturer and with the prior

approval of the type approval authority, non-linear

regression is permitted.

The emission values for each pollutant at the start of the

service accumulation schedule and at the emission

durability period end point that is applicable for the engine

under test shall be calculated from the regression equation.

If the service accumulation schedule is shorter than the

emission durability period, the emission values at the

emission durability period end point shall be determined by

extrapolation of the regression equation as determined in

Section 2.4.5.1.

In the case that emission values are used for engine

families in the same engine-after-treatment family but with

different emission durability periods, then the emission

values at the emission durability period end point shall be

recalculated for each emission durability period by

extrapolation or interpolation of the regression equation as

determined in Section 2.4.5.1.

The deterioration factor (DF) for each pollutant is defined

as the ratio of the applied emission values at the emission

durability period end point and at the start of the service

accumulation schedule (multiplicative deterioration

factor).

At the request of the manufacturer and with the prior

approval of the type-approval authority, an additive DF for

each pollutant may be applied. The additive DF is defined

as the difference between the calculated emission values at

the emission durability period end point and at the start of

the service accumulation schedule.

An example for determination of DFs by using linear

regression is shown in Figure 1 for NOx emission.

Mixing of multiplicative and additive DFs within one set of

pollutants is not permitted.

If the calculation results in a value of less than 1,00 for a

multiplicative DF, or less than 0,00 for an additive DF, then

the deterioration factor shall be 1,0 or 0,00, respectively.

In accordance with Section 2.4.2.1.4, if it has been agreed

that only one test cycle (hot NRTC or NRSC) be run at each

test point and the other test cycle (hot NRTC or NRSC) run

only at the beginning and end of the service accumulation

schedule, the deterioration factor calculated for the test

cycle that has been run at each test point shall be applicable

also for the other test cycle.

Figure 1

Example of DF determination

Assigned deterioration factors

As an alternative to using a service accumulation schedule

to determine DFs, engine manufacturers may select to use

the following assigned multiplicative DFs

Assigned additive DFs are not given. It is not permitted to

transform the assigned multiplicative DFs into additive

DFs.

Where assigned DFs are used, the manufacturer shall

present to the type approval authority robust evidence that

the emission control components can reasonably be

expected to have the emission durability associated with

those assigned factors. This evidence may be based upon

design analysis, or tests, or a combination of both.

Application of deterioration factors

The engines shall meet the respective emission limits for

each pollutant, as applicable to the engine family, after

application of the deterioration factors to the test result as

measured in accordance with Schedule III (cycle-weighted

specific emission for particulate and each individual gas).

Depending on the type of DF, the following provisions

apply

- Multiplicative: (cycle weighted specific emission) * DF

≤ emission limit

- Additive: (cycle weighted specific emission) + DF ≤

emission limit

If the manufacturer, based on the option indicated in

Section 1.2.1 of this Schedule, chooses to use the

procedure of Annex 4B to UNECE Regulation No 96.03

series of amendments, cycle weighted specific emission

may include the adjustment for infrequent regeneration,

where applicable.

For a multiplicative NOx + HC DF, separate HC and

NOx DFs shall be determined and applied separately when

calculating the deteriorated emission levels from an

emissions test result before combining the resultant

deteriorated NOx and HC values to establish compliance

with the emission limit.

The manufacturer may select to carry across the DFs

determined for an engine-after-treatment system family to

an engine system that does not fall into the same engine-

after-treatment system family. In such cases, the

manufacturer shall demonstrate to the approval authority

that the engine system for which the engine-after-treatment

system family was originally tested and the engine system

for which the DFs are being carried across have similar

technical specifications and installation requirements on

the machine and that the emissions of such engine or

engine system are similar.

In the case that DFs are carried across to an engine system

with a different emission durability period, then the DFs

shall be recalculated for the applicable emission durability

period by extrapolation or interpolation of the regression

equation as determined in Section 2.4.5.1.

The DF for each pollutant for each applicable test cycle

shall be recorded in the test result document set out in

Appendix 1 to Schedule VII.

Checking of conformity of production

Conformity of production for emissions compliance is

checked on the basis of Section 5 of Schedule I.

The manufacturer may select to measure the pollutant

emissions before any exhaust after-treatment system at the

same time as the type-approval test is being performed. In

so doing, the manufacturer may develop informal DFs

separately for the engine and for the after-treatment system

that may be used by the manufacturer as an aid to end of

production line auditing.

For the purposes of type-approval, only the DFs

determined in accordance with paragraph 2.4.5 or 2.4.6

shall be recorded in the test result document set out in

Appendix 1 to Schedule VII.

Maintenance

For the purpose of the service accumulation schedule,

maintenance shall be performed in accordance with the

manufacturer’s manual for service and maintenance.

Emission-related scheduled maintenance

Emission-related scheduled maintenance during engine

running, undertaken for the purpose of conducting a

service accumulation schedule, must occur at equivalent

intervals to those that will be specified in the

manufacturer’s maintenance instructions to the owner of

the machine or engine. This maintenance schedule may be

updated as necessary throughout the service accumulation

schedule provided that no maintenance operation is deleted

from the maintenance schedule after the operation has been

performed on the test engine.

The engine manufacturer shall specify for the service

accumulation schedules any adjustment, cleaning,

maintenance (where necessary) and scheduled exchange of

the following items

- filters and coolers in the exhaust gas re-circulation

system

- positive crankcase ventilation valve, if applicable

- fuel injector tips (only cleaning is permitted)

- fuel injectors

- turbocharger

- electronic engine control unit and its associated sensors

and actuators

- particulate after-treatment system (including related

components)

- NOx after-treatment

system

(including

related

components)

- exhaust gas re-circulation system, including all related

control valves and tubing

- any other exhaust after-treatment system.

Critical emission-related scheduled maintenance shall only

be performed if intended to be performed in- use and the

requirement to perform such maintenance is to be

communicated to the owner of the machine.

Changes to scheduled maintenance

The manufacturer shall submit a request to the type-

approval authority for approval of any new scheduled

maintenance that it wishes to perform during the service

accumulation schedule and subsequently to recommend to

owners of machines and engines. The request shall be

accompanied by data supporting the need for the new

scheduled maintenance and the maintenance interval.

Non-emission-related scheduled maintenance

Non-emission-related scheduled maintenance which is

reasonable and technically necessary (for example oil

change, oil filter change, fuel filter change, air filter

change, cooling system maintenance, idle speed

adjustment, governor, engine bolt torque, valve lash,

injector lash, adjustment of the tension of any drive- belt,

etc.) may be performed on engines or machines selected for

the service accumulation schedule at the least frequent

intervals recommended by the manufacturer to the owner

(for example not at the intervals recommended for severe

service).

Repair

Repairs to the components of an engine system selected for

testing over a service accumulation schedule shall be

performed only as a result of component failure or engine

system malfunction. Repair of the engine itself, the

emission control system or the fuel system is not permitted

except to the extent defined in paragraph 2.5.4.2.

If the engine itself, the emission control system or the fuel

system fail during the service accumulation schedule, the

service accumulation shall be considered void, and a new

service accumulation shall be started with a new engine

system, unless the failed components are replaced with

equivalent components that have been subject to a similar

number of hours of service accumulation.

3. EMISSION DURABILITY PERIOD FOR STAGE IIIA,

IIIB AND IV ENGINES

Manufacturers shall use the emission durability period in

Table 1 of this section.
