Directive 2002/88/EC of the European Parliament and of the Councilof 9 December 2002amending Directive 97/68/EC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to measures against the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants from internal combustion engines to be installed in non-road mobile machineryTHE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(2),Following consultation of the Committee of the Regions,Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty(3),Whereas:(1) The Auto oil II programme was aimed at identifying cost effective strategies to meet the air quality objectives of the Community. The Commission Communication Review on the Auto oil II programme concluded that there is a need for further measures, especially to address the issues of ozone and particulate emissions. Recent work on the development of national emissions ceilings has shown that further measures are needed to meet the air quality objectives decided upon in the Community legislation.(2) Stringent standards on emissions from vehicles on highways have been gradually introduced. It has already been decided that those standards should be strengthened. The relative contribution of pollutants from non-road mobile machinery will thus be more predominant in the future.(3) Directive 97/68/EC(4) introduced emission limit values for gaseous and particulate pollutants from internal combustion engines to be installed in non-road mobile machinery.(4) Although Directive 97/68/EC initially applied only to certain compression ignition engines, recital 5 of that Directive envisages the subsequent extension of its scope to include in particular gasoline engines.(5) The emissions from small spark ignition engines (gasoline engines) in different types of machinery contribute significantly to identified air quality problems, both current and future, especially ozone formation.(6) Emissions from small spark ignition engines are subject to strict environmental standards in the USA, showing that it is possible significantly to reduce the emissions.(7) The absence of Community legislation means it is possible to place on the market engines with old fashioned technology from an environmental point of view, thereby jeopardising the air quality objectives in the Community, or to implement national legislation in this field, with the potential to create barriers to trade.(8) Directive 97/68/EC is closely aligned with the corresponding US legislation, and continuing alignment will have benefits for industry, as well as for the environment.(9) A certain lead time is necessary for the European industry, especially for those manufacturers that are not yet operating on a global basis, to be able to meet the emission standards.(10) A two-step approach is used in Directive 97/68/EC for compression ignition engines as well as in the US regulations on spark ignition engines. Although it might have been possible to adopt a one-step approach in the Community legislation, this would have left the field unregulated for another four to five years.(11) To achieve the necessary flexibility for worldwide alignment, a possible derogation, to be made under the comitology procedure, is included.(12) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Directive should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission(5).(13) Directive 97/68/EC should be amended accordingly,HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:Article 1Directive 97/68/EC is hereby amended as follows:1.

The test shall be carried out with the engine mounted on a test bench and connected to a dynamometer.2. TEST CONDITIONS2.1. Engine test conditionsThe absolute temperature (Ta) of the engine air at the inlet to the engine, expressed in Kelvin, and the dry atmospheric pressure (ps), expressed in kPa, shall be measured and the parameter fa shall be determined according to the following provisions:>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>2.1.1. Test validityFor a test to be recognised as valid, the parameter fa shall be such that:>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>2.1.2. Engines with charge air-coolingThe temperature of the cooling medium and the temperature of the charge air have to be recorded.2.2. Engine air inlet systemThe test engine shall be equipped with an air inlet system presenting an air inlet restriction within 10 % of the upper limit specified by the manufacturer for a new air cleaner at the engine operating conditions, as specified by the manufacturer, which result in maximum air flow in the respective engine application.For small spark ignition engines (<  1000 cm3 displacement) a system representative of the installed engine shall be used.2.3. Engine exhaust systemThe test engine shall be equipped with an exhaust system presenting an exhaust back pressure within 10 % of the upper limit specified by the manufacturer for the engine operating conditions which result in the maximum declared power in the respective engine application.For small spark ignition engines (<  1000 cm3 displacement) a system representative of the installed engine shall be used.2.4. Cooling systemAn engine cooling system with sufficient capacity to maintain the engine at normal operating temperatures prescribed by the manufacturer shall be used. This provision shall apply to units which have to be detached in order to measure the power, such as with a blower where the blower (cooling) fan has to be disassembled to get access to the crankshaft.2.5. Lubricating oilLubricating oil that meets the engine manufacturer's specifications for a particular engine and intended usage shall be used. Manufacturers must use engine lubricants representative of commercially available engine lubricants.The specifications of the lubricating oil used for the test shall be recorded at section 1.2 of Annex VII, Appendix 2, for SI engines and presented with the results of the test.2.6. Adjustable carburettorsEngines with limited adjustable carburettors shall be tested at both extremes of the adjustment.2.7. Test fuelThe fuel shall be the reference fuel specified in Annex V.The octane number and the density of the reference fuel used for test shall be recorded at section 1.1.1 of Annex VII, Appendix 2, for SI engines.For two-stroke engines, the fuel/oil mixture ratio must be the ratio which shall be recommended by the manufacturer. The percentage of oil in the fuel/lubricant mixture feeding the two-stroke engines and the resulting density of the fuel shall be recorded at section 1.1.4 of Annex VII, Appendix 2, for SI engines.2.8. Determination of dynamometer settingsEmissions measurements shall be based on uncorrected brake power. Auxiliaries necessary only for the operation of the machine and which may be mounted on the engine shall be removed for the test. Where auxiliaries have not been removed, the power absorbed by them shall be determined in order to calculate the dynamometer settings except for engines where such auxiliaries form an integral part of the engine (e.g. cooling fans for air cooled engines).The settings of inlet restriction and exhaust pipe backpressure shall be adjusted, for engines where it shall be possible to perform such an adjustment, to the manufacturer's upper limits, in accordance with sections 2.2 and 2.3. The maximum torque values at the specified test speeds shall be determined by experimentation in order to calculate the torque values for the specified test modes. For engines which are not designed to operate over a speed range on a full load torque curve, the maximum torque at the test speeds shall be declared by the manufacturer. The engine setting for each test mode shall be calculated using the formula:>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>where:S is the dynamometer setting [kW],PM is the maximum observed or declared power at the test speed under the test conditions (see Appendix 2 of Annex VII) [kW],PAE is the declared total power absorbed by any auxiliary fitted for the test [kW] and not required by Appendix 3 of Annex VII,L is the percent torque specified for the test mode.If the ratio>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>the value of PAE may be verified by the technical authority granting type-approval.3.

When using a full flow dilution system, the total flow of the dilute exhaust (GTOTW) shall be measured with a PDP or CFV - Annex VI, section 1.2.1.2. The accuracy shall conform to the provisions of Annex III, Appendix 2, section 2.2.1.3. AccuracyThe calibration of all measuring instruments shall be traceable to national (international) standards and comply with the requirements given in tables 2 and 3.Table 2 - Permissible deviations of instruments for engine related parameters>TABLE>Table 3 - Permissible deviations of instruments for other essential parameters>TABLE>1.4. Determination of the gaseous components1.4.1. General analyser specificationsThe analysers shall have a measuring range appropriate for the accuracy required for measuring the concentrations of the exhaust gas components (section 1.4.1.1). It is recommended that the analysers be operated such that the measured concentration falls between 15 % and 100 % of full scale.If the full scale value is 155 ppm (or ppm C) or less or if read-out systems (computers, data loggers) that provide sufficient accuracy and resolution below 15 % of full scale are used concentrations below 15 % of full scale are also acceptable. In this case, additional calibrations are to be made to ensure the accuracy of the calibration curves - Appendix 2, section 1.5.5.2, of this Annex.The electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of the equipment shall be on a level as to minimise additional errors.1.4.1.1. AccuracyThe analyser shall not deviate from the nominal calibration point by more than ± 2 % of the reading over the whole measurement range except zero, and ± 0,3 % of full scale at zero. The accuracy shall be determined according to the calibration requirements laid down in section 1.3.1.4.1.2. RepeatabilityThe repeatability, shall be such that 2,5 times the standard deviation of 10 repetitive responses to a given calibration or span gas is not greater than ± 1 % of full scale concentration for each range used above 100 ppm (or ppmC) or ± 2 % of each range used below 100 ppm (or ppmC).1.4.1.3. NoiseThe analyser peak-to-peak response to zero and calibration or span gases over any 10-s period shall not exceed 2 % of full scale on all ranges used.1.4.1.4. Zero driftZero response is defined as the mean response, including noise, to a zero gas during a 30-s time interval. The drift of the zero response during a one-hour period shall be less than 2 % of full scale on the lowest range used.1.4.1.5. Span driftSpan response is defined as the mean response, including noise, to a span gas during a 30-s time interval. The drift of the span response during a one-hour period shall be less than 2 % of full scale on the lowest range used.1.4.2. Gas dryingExhaust gases may be measured wet or dry. Any gas-drying device, if used, must have a minimal effect on the concentration of the measured gases. Chemical dryers are not an acceptable method of removing water from the sample.1.4.3. AnalysersSections 1.4.3.1 to 1.4.3.5 describe the measurement principles to be used. A detailed description of the measurement systems is given in Annex VI.The gases to be measured shall be analysed with the following instruments. For non-linear analysers, the use of linearising circuits is permitted.1.4.3.1. Carbon monoxide (CO) analysisThe carbon monoxide analyser shall be of the non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) absorption type.1.4.3.2. Carbon dioxide (CO2) analysisThe carbon dioxide analyser shall be of the non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) absorption type.1.4.3.3. Oxygen (O2) analysisOxygen analysers shall be of the paramagnetic detector (PMD), zirconium dioxide (ZRDO) or electrochemical sensor (ECS) types.Note:Zirconium dioxide sensors are not recommended when HC and CO concentrations are high such as for lean burn spark ignited engines. Electrochemical sensors shall be compensated for CO2 and NOX interference.1.4.3.4. Hydrocarbon (HC) analysisFor direct gas sampling the hydrocarbon analyser shall be of the heated flame ionisation detector (HFID) type with detector, valves, pipework, etc., heated so as to maintain a gas temperature of 463 K ± 10 K (190 °C ± 10 °C).For diluted gas sampling the hydrocarbon analyser shall be either the heated flame ionisation detector (HFID) type or the flame ionisation detector (FID) type.1.4.3.5. Oxides of nitrogen (NOx) analysisThe oxides of nitrogen analyser shall be of the chemiluminescent detector (CLD) or heated chemiluminescent detector (HCLD) type with a NO2/NO converter, if measured on a dry basis. If measured on a wet basis, a HCLD with converter maintained above 328 K (55 °C) shall be used, provided the water quench check (Annex III, Appendix 2, section 1.9.2.2) is satisfied. For both CLD and HCLD, the sampling path shall be maintained at a wall temperature of 328 K to 473 K (55 °C to 200 °C) up to the converter for dry measurement, and up to the analyser for wet measurement.1.4.4. Sampling for gaseous emissionsIf the composition of the exhaust gas is influenced by any exhaust after-treatment system, the exhaust sample shall be taken downstream of this device.The exhaust sampling probe should be in a high pressure side of the muffler, but as far from the exhaust port as possible. To ensure complete mixing of the engine exhaust before sample extraction, a mixing chamber may be optionally inserted between the muffler outlet and the sample probe. The internal volume of the mixing chamber must be not less than 10 times the cylinder displacement of the engine under test and should be roughly equal dimensions in height, width and depth, being similar to a cube. The mixing chamber size should be kept as small as practicable and should be coupled as close as possible to the engine. The exhaust line leaving the mixing chamber of muffler should extend at least 610 mm beyond the sample probe location and be of sufficient size to minimise back pressure. The temperature of the inner surface of the mixing chamber must be maintained above the dew point of the exhaust gases and a minimum temperature of 338 oK (65 °C) is recommended.All components may optionally be measured directly in the dilution tunnel, or by sampling into a bag and subsequent measurement of the concentration in the sampling bag.Appendix 21. CALIBRATION OF THE ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS1.1. IntroductionEach analyser shall be calibrated as often as necessary to fulfil the accuracy requirements of this standard. The calibration method that shall be used is described in this paragraph for the analysers indicated in Appendix 1, section 1.4.3.1.2. Calibration gasesThe shelf life of all calibration gases must be respected.The expiry date of the calibration gases stated by the manufacturer shall be recorded.1.2.1 Pure gasesThe required purity of the gases is defined by the contamination limits given below. The following gases must be available for operation:- purified nitrogen (contamination <= 1 ppm C, <= 1 ppm CO, <= 400 ppm CO2, <= 0,1 ppm NO),- purified oxygen (purity  > 99,5 Vol.- % O2),- hydrogen-helium mixture (40 ± 2 % hydrogen, balance helium); contamination <= 1 ppm C, <= 400 ppm CO2,- purified synthetic air (contamination <= 1 ppm C, <= 1 ppm CO, <= 400 ppm CO2, <= 0,1 ppm NO (oxygen content between 18 % and 21 % vol).1.2.2 Calibration and span gasesMixture of gases having the following chemical compositions shall be available:- C3H8 and purified synthetic air (see section 1.2.1),- CO and purified nitrogen,- and purified nitrogen (the amount of NO2 contained in this calibration gas must not exceed 5 % of the NO content),- CO2 and purified nitrogen,- CH4 and purified synthetic air,- C2H6 and purified synthetic air.Note:Other gas combinations are allowed provided the gases do not react with one another.The true concentration of a calibration and span gas shall be within ± 2 % of the nominal value. All concentrations of calibration gas shall be given on a volume basis (volume percent or volume ppm).The gases used for calibration and span may also be obtained by means of precision blending devices (gas dividers), diluting with purified N2 or with purified synthetic air. The accuracy of the mixing device must be such that the concentration of the diluted calibration gases is accurate to within ± 1,5 %. This accuracy implies that primary gases used for blending must be known to an accuracy of at least ± 1 %, traceable to national or international gas standards. The verification shall be performed at between 15 % and 50 % of full scale for each calibration incorporating a blending device.Optionally, the blending device may be checked with an instrument, which by nature is linear, e.g. using NO gas with a CLD. The span value of the instrument shall be adjusted with the span gas directly connected to the instrument. The blending device shall be checked at the used settings and the nominal value shall be compared to the measured concentration of the instrument. This difference shall in each point be within ± 0,5 % of the nominal value.1.2.3 Oxygen interference checkOxygen interference check gases shall contain propane with 350 ppm C ± 75 ppm C hydrocarbon. The concentration value shall be determined to calibration gas tolerances by chromatographic analysis of total hydrocarbons plus impurities or by dynamic blending. Nitrogen shall be the predominant diluent with the balance oxygen. Blend required for gasoline-fuelled engine testing is as follows:>TABLE>1.3. Operating procedure for analysers and sampling systemThe operating procedure for analysers shall follow the start-up and operating instructions of the instrument manufacturer. The minimum requirements given in sections 1.4 to 1.9 shall be included. For laboratory instruments such as GC and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) only section 1.5.4 shall apply.1.4. Leakage testA system leakage test shall be performed. The probe shall be disconnected from the exhaust system and the end plugged. The analyser pump shall be switched on. After an initial stabilisation period all flow meters should read zero. If not, the sampling lines shall be checked and the fault corrected.The maximum allowable leakage rate on the vacuum side shall be 0,5 % of the in-use flow rate for the portion of the system being checked. The analyser flows and bypass flows may be used to estimate the in-use flow rates.Alternatively, the system may be evacuated to a pressure of at least 20 kPa vacuum (80 kPa absolute). After an initial stabilisation period the pressure increase δp (kPa/min) in the system shall not exceed:>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>Where:Vsyst= system volume [l]fr= system flow rate [l/min]Another method is the introduction of a concentration step change at the beginning of the sampling line by switching from zero to span gas. If after an adequate period of time the reading shows a lower concentration compared to the introduced concentration, this points to calibration or leakage problems.1.5. Calibration procedure1.5.1 Instrument assemblyThe instrument assembly shall be calibrated and calibration curves checked against standard gases. The same gas flow rates shall be used as when sampling exhaust gas.1.5.2. Warming-up timeThe warming-up time should be according to the recommendations of the manufacturer. If not specified, a minimum of two hours is recommended for warming-up the analysers.1.5.3. NDIR and HFID analyserThe NDIR analyser shall be tuned, as necessary, and the combustion flame of the HFID analyser shall be optimised (section 1.9.1).1.5.4. GC and HPCLBoth instruments shall be calibrated according to good laboratory practice and the recommendations of the manufacturer.1.5.5. Establishment of the calibration curves1.5.5.1. General guidelines(a) Each normally used operating range shall be calibrated.(b) Using purified synthetic air (or nitrogen), the CO, CO2, NOx and HC analysers shall be set at zero.(c) The appropriate calibration gases shall be introduced to the analysers, the values recorded, and the calibration curves established.(d) For all instrument ranges except for the lowest range, the calibration curve shall be established by at least 10 calibration points (excluding zero) equally spaced. For the lowest range of the instrument, the calibration curve shall be established by at least 10 calibration points (excluding zero) spaced so that half of the calibration points are placed below 15 % of the analyser's full scale and the rest are placed above 15 % of full scale. For all ranges the highest nominal concentration must be equal to or higher than 90 % of full scale.(e) The calibration curve shall be calculated by the method of least squares. A best-fit linear or non-linear equation may be used.(f) The calibration points must not differ from the least-squares best-fit line by more than ± 2 % of reading or ± 0,3 % of full scale whichever is larger.(g) The zero setting shall be rechecked and the calibration procedure repeated, if necessary.1.5.5.2. Alternative methodsIf it can be shown that alternative technology (e.g. computer, electronically controlled range switch, etc.) can give equivalent accuracy, then these alternatives may be used.1.6. Verification of the calibrationEach normally used operating range shall be checked prior to each analysis in accordance with the following procedure.The calibration is checked by using a zero gas and a span gas whose nominal value is more than 80 % of full scale of the measuring range.If, for the two points considered, the value found does not differ by more than ± 4 % of full scale from the declared reference value, the adjustment parameters may be modified. Should this not be the case, the span gas shall be verified or a new calibration curve shall be established in accordance with section 1.5.5.1.1.7. Calibration of tracer gas analyser for exhaust flow measurementThe analyser for measurement of the tracer gas concentration shall be calibrated using the standard gas.The calibration curve shall be established by at least 10 calibration points (excluding zero) spaced so that half of the calibration points are placed between 4 % to 20 % of the analyser's full scale and the rest are in between 20 % and 100 % of the full scale. The calibration curve shall be calculated by the method of least squares.The calibration curve must not differ by more than ± 1 % of the full scale from the nominal value of each calibration point, in the range from 20 % to 100 % of the full scale. It also must not differ by more than ± 2 % of reading from the nominal value in the range from 4 % to 20 % of the full scale. The analyser shall be set at zero and spanned prior to the test run using a zero gas and a span gas whose nominal value is more than 80 % of the analyser full scale.1.8. Efficiency test of the NOx converterThe efficiency of the converter used for the conversion of NO2 into NO is tested as given in sections 1.8.1 to 1.8.8 (figure 1 of Annex III, Appendix 2).1.8.1. Test set-upUsing the test set-up as shown in figure 1 of Annex III and the procedure below, the efficiency of converters can be tested by means of an ozonator.1.8.2. CalibrationThe CLD and the HCLD shall be calibrated in the most common operating range following the manufacturer's specifications using zero and span gas (the NO content of which must amount to about 80 % of the operating range and the NO2 concentration of the gas mixture to less than 5 % of the NO concentration). The NOx analyser must be in the NO mode so that the span gas does not pass through the converter. The indicated concentration has to be recorded.1.8.3. CalculationThe efficiency of the NOx, converter is calculated as follows:>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>Where:a= NOx concentration according to section 1.8.6b= NOx concentration according to section 1.8.7c= NO concentration according to section 1.8.4d= NO concentration according to section 1.8.5.1.8.4. Adding of oxygenVia a T-fitting, oxygen or zero air is added continuously to the gas flow until the concentration indicated is about 20 % less than the indicated calibration concentration given in section 1.8.2. (The analyser is in the NO mode.)The indicated concentration (c) shall be recorded. The ozonator is kept deactivated throughout the process.1.8.5 Activation of the ozonatorThe ozonator is now activated to generate enough ozone to bring the NO concentration down to about 20 % (minimum 10 %) of the calibration concentration given in section 1.8.2. The indicated concentration (d) shall be recorded. (The analyser is in the NO mode.)1.8.6 NOx modeThe NO analyser is then switched to the NOx mode so that the gas mixture (consisting of NO, NO2, O2 and N2) now passes through the converter. The indicated concentration (a) shall be recorded. (The analyser is in the NOx mode.)1.8.7. Deactivation of the ozonatorThe ozonator is now deactivated. The mixture of gases described in section 1.8.6 passes through the converter into the detector. The indicated concentration (b) shall be recorded. (The analyser is in the NOx mode.)1.8.8. NO modeSwitched to NO mode with the ozonator deactivated, the flow of oxygen or synthetic air is also shut off. The NOx reading of the analyser shall not deviate by more than ± 5 % from the value measured according to section 1.8.2. (The analyser is in the NO mode.)1.8.9. Test intervalThe efficiency of the converter must be checked monthly.1.8.10. Efficiency requirementThe efficiency of the converter shall not be less than 90 %, but a higher efficiency of 95 % is strongly recommended.Note:If, with the analyser in the most common range, the ozonator cannot give a reduction from 80 % to 20 % according to section 1.8.5, then the highest range which will give the reduction shall be used.1.9. Adjustment of the FID1.9.1. Optimisation of the detector responseThe HFID must be adjusted as specified by the instrument manufacturer. A propane in air span gas should be used to optimise the response on the most common operating range.With the fuel and airflow rates set at the manufacturer's recommendations, a 350 ± 75 ppm C span gas shall be introduced to the analyser. The response at a given fuel flow shall be determined from the difference between the span gas response and the zero gas response. The fuel flow shall be incrementally adjusted above and below the manufacturer's specification. The span and zero response at these fuel flows shall be recorded. The difference between the span and zero response shall be plotted and the fuel flow adjusted to the rich side of the curve. This is the initial flow rate setting, which may need further optimisation depending on the results of the hydrocarbon response factor and the oxygen interference check according to sections 1.9.2 and 1.9.3.If the oxygen interference or the hydrocarbon response factors do not meet the following specifications, the airflow shall be incrementally adjusted above and below the manufacturer's specifications, sections 1.9.2 and 1.9.3 should be repeated for each flow.1.9.2. Hydrocarbon response factorsThe analyser shall be calibrated using propane in air and purified synthetic air, according to section 1.5.Response factors shall be determined when introducing an analyser into service and after major service intervals. The response factor (Rf) for a particular hydrocarbon species is the ratio of the FID C1 reading to the gas concentration in the cylinder expressed by ppm C1.The concentration of the test gas must be at a level to give a response of approximately 80 % of full scale. The concentration must be known to an accuracy of ± 2 % in reference to a gravimetric standard expressed in volume. In addition, the gas cylinder must be preconditioned for 24 hours at a temperature of 298 K (25 °C) ± 5 K.The test gases to be used and the recommended relative response factor ranges are as follows:- methane and purified synthetic air: 1,00 <= Rf <= 1,15- propylene and purified synthetic air: 0,90 <= Rf <= 1,1- toluene and purified synthetic air: 0,90 <= Rf <= 1,10.These values are relative to the response factor (Rf) of 1,00 for propane and purified synthetic air.1.9.3. Oxygen interference checkThe oxygen interference check shall be determined when introducing an analyser into service and after major service intervals. A range shall be chosen where the oxygen interference check gases will fall in the upper 50 %. The test shall be conducted with the oven temperature set as required. The oxygen interference gases are specified in section 1.2.3.(a) The analyser shall be zeroed.(b) The analyser shall be spanned with the 0 % oxygen blend for gasoline fuelled engines.(c) The zero response shall be rechecked. If it has changed more than 0,5 % of full scale subsections (a) and (b) of this section shall be repeated.(d) The 5 % and 10 % oxygen interference check gases shall be introduced.(e) The zero response shall be rechecked. If it has changed more than ± 1 % of full scale, the test shall be repeated.(f) The oxygen interference ( % O2I) shall be calculated for each mixture in step (d) as follows:>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>where:A= hydrocarbon concentration (ppm C) of the span gas used in subsection (b)B= hydrocarbon concentration (ppm C) of the oxygen interference check gases used in subsection (d)C= analyser responseD= percent of full scale analyser response due to A(g) The % of oxygen interference ( % O2I) shall be less than ± 3 % for all required oxygen interference check gases prior to testing.(h) If the oxygen interference is greater than ± 3 %, the air flow above and below the manufacturer's specifications shall be incrementally adjusted, repeating section 1.9.1 for each flow.(i) If the oxygen interference is greater than ± 3 %, after adjusting the air flow, the fuel flow and thereafter the sample flow shall be varied, repeating section 1.9.1 for each new setting.(j) If the oxygen interference is still greater than ± 3 %, the analyser, FID fuel, or burner air shall be repaired or replaced prior to testing. This section shall then be repeated with the repaired or replaced equipment or gases.1.10. Interference effects with CO, CO2, NOX and O2 analysersGases other than the one being analysed can interfere with the reading in several ways. Positive interference occurs in NDIR and PMD instruments where the interfering gas gives the same effect as the gas being measured, but to a lesser degree. Negative interference occurs in NDIR instruments by the interfering gas broadening the absorption band of the measured gas, and in CLD instruments by the interfering gas quenching the radiation. The interference checks in sections 1.10.1 and 1.10.2 shall be performed prior to an analyser's initial use and after major service intervals, but at least once per year.1.10.1. CO analyser interference checkWater and CO2 can interfere with the CO analyser performance. Therefore a CO2 span gas having a concentration of 80 % to 100 % of full scale of the maximum operating range used during testing shall be bubbled through water at room temperature and the analyser response recorded. The analyser response must not be more than 1 % of full scale for ranges equal to or above 300 ppm or more than 3 ppm for ranges below 300 ppm.1.10.2. NOx analyser quench checksThe two gases of concern for CLD (and HCLD) analysers are CO2 and water vapour. Quench responses of these gases are proportional to their concentrations, and therefore require test techniques to determine the quench at the highest expected concentrations experienced during testing.1.10.2.1. CO2 quench checkA CO2 span gas having a concentration of 80 % to 100 % of full scale of the maximum operating range shall be passed through the NDIR analyser and the CO2 value recorded as A. It shall then be diluted approximately 50 % with NO span gas and passed through the NDIR and (H)CLD with the CO2 and NO values recorded as B and C, respectively. The CO2 shall be shut off and only the NO span gas is passed through the (H)CLD and the NO value recorded as D.The quench, which shall not be greater than 3 % full scale, shall be calculated as follows:>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>where:A: undiluted CO2 concentration measured with NDIR %B: diluted CO2 concentration measured with NDIR %C: diluted NO concentration measured with CLD ppmD: undiluted NO concentration measured with CLD ppmAlternative methods of diluting and quantifying CO2 and NO span gas values, such as dynamic/mixing/blending, can be used.1.10.2.2. Water quench checkThis check applies to wet gas concentration measurements only. Calculation of water quench must consider dilution of the NO span gas with water vapour and scaling of water vapour concentration of the mixture to that expected during testing.A NO span gas having a concentration of 80 % to 100 % of full scale to the normal operating range shall be passed through the (H)CLD and the NO value recorded as D. The NO span gas shall then be bubbled through water at room temperature and passed through the (H)CLD and the NO value recorded as C. The water temperature shall be determined and recorded as F. The mixture's saturation vapour pressure that corresponds to the bubbler water temperature (F) shall be determined and recorded as G. The water vapour concentration (in %) of the mixture shall be calculated as follows:>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>and recorded as H. The expected diluted NO span gas (in water vapour) concentration shall be calculated as follows:>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>and recorded as De.The water quench shall not be greater than 3 % and shall be calculated as follows:>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>where:De: expected diluted NO concentration (ppm)C: diluted NO concentration (ppm)Hm: maximum water vapour concentrationH: actual water vapour concentration (%).Note:It is important that the NO span gas contains minimal NO2 concentration for this check, since absorption of NO2 in water has not been accounted for in the quench calculations.1.10.3. O2 analyser interferenceInstrument response of a PMD analyser caused by gases other than oxygen is comparatively slight. The oxygen equivalents of the common exhaust gas constituents are shown in table 1.Tabel 1 - Oxygen equivalents>TABLE>The observed oxygen concentration shall be corrected by the following formula if high precision measurements are to be done:>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>1.11. Calibration intervalsThe analysers shall be calibrated according to section 1.5 at least every three months or whenever a system repair or change is made that could influence calibration.Appendix 31. DATA EVALUATION AND CALCULATIONS1.1. Gaseous emissions evaluationFor the evaluation of the gaseous emissions, the chart reading for a minimum of the last 120 s of each mode shall be averaged, and the average concentrations (conc) of HC, CO, NOx and CO2 during each mode shall be determined from the average chart readings and the corresponding calibration data.

The formula takes into account not only the hydrogen to carbon ratio and the oxygen to carbon ratio but also other possible fuel components such as sulphur and nitrogen. However, as the SI. engines of the Directive are tested with a petrol (quoted as a reference fuel in Annex V) containing usually only carbon and hydrogen, the simplified formula is considered.(3) In the case of NOx the concentration has to be multiplied by the humidity correction factor KH (humidity correction factor for NOx).Appendix 41. COMPLIANCE WITH EMISSION STANDARDSThis Appendix shall apply to SI engines stage 2 only.1.1. The exhaust emission standards for stage 2 engines in Annex I (4.2) apply to the emissions of the engines for their emission durability period EDP as determined in accordance with this Appendix.1.2. For all stage 2 engines, if, when properly tested according to the procedures in this Directive, all test engines representing an engine family have emissions which, when adjusted by multiplication by the deterioration factor (DF) laid down in this Appendix, are less than or equal to each stage 2 emission standard (family emission limit (FEL), where applicable) for a given engine class, that family shall be considered to comply with the emission standards for that engine class. If any test engine representing an engine family has emissions which, when adjusted by multiplication by the deterioration factor laid down in this Appendix, are greater than any single emission standard (FEL, where applicable) for a given engine class, that family shall be considered not to comply with the emission standards for that engine class.1.3. Small volume engine manufacturers may, optionally, take deterioration factors for HC+NOx and CO from table 1 or 2 in this section, or they may calculate deterioration factors for HC+NOx and CO according to the process described in section 1.3.1. For technologies not covered by tables 1 and 2 in this section, the manufacturer must use the process described in section 1.4 in this Appendix.Table 1: Hand-held engine HC+NOx and CO assigned deterioration factors for small volume manufacturer>TABLE>Table 2: Non-hand-held engine HC+NOx and CO assigned deterioration factors for small volume manufacturers>TABLE>1.3.1. Formula for calculating deterioration factors for engines with after treatment:>REFERENCE TO A GRAPHIC>where:DF= deterioration factorNE= new engine emission levels prior to the catalyst (g/kWh)EDF= deterioration factor for engines without catalyst as shown in table 1CC= amount converted at 0 hours in g/kWhF= 0,8 for HC and 0,0 for NOx for all classes of enginesF= 0,8 for CO for all classes of engines1.4. Manufacturers shall obtain an assigned DF or calculate a DF, as appropriate, for each regulated pollutant for all stage 2 engine families. Such DFs shall be used for type approval and production line testing.1.4.1. For engines not using assigned DFs from tables 1 or 2 of this section, DFs shall be determined as follows:1.4.1.1. On at least one test engine representing the configuration chosen to be the most likely to exceed HC + NOx emission standards, (FELs where applicable), and constructed to be representative of production engines, conduct (full) test procedure emission testing as described in this Directive after the number of hours representing stabilised emissions.1.4.1.2 If more than one engine is tested, average the results and round to the same number of decimal places contained in the applicable standard, expressed to one additional significant figure.1.4.1.3 Conduct such emission testing again following ageing of the engine. The ageing procedure should be designed to allow the manufacturer to appropriately predict the in-use emission deterioration expected over the durability period of the engine, taking into account the type of wear and other deterioration mechanisms expected under typical consumer use which could affect emissions performance. If more than one engine is tested, average the results and round to the same number of decimal places contained in the applicable standard, expressed to one additional significant figure.1.4.1.4. Divide the emissions at the end of the durability period (average emissions, if applicable) for each regulated pollutant by the stabilised emissions (average emissions, if applicable) and round to two significant figures. The resulting number shall be the DF, unless it is less than 1,00, in which case the DF shall be 1,0.1.4.1.5. At the manufacturer's option additional emission test points can be scheduled between the stabilised emission test point and the emission durability period. If intermediate tests are scheduled, the test points must be evenly spaced over the EDP (plus or minus two hours) and one such test point shall be at one half of full EDP (plus or minus two hours).For each pollutant HC + NOx and CO, a straight line must be fitted to the data points treating the initial test as occurring at hour zero, and using the method of least-squares. The deterioration factor is the calculated emissions at the end of the durability period divided by the calculated emissions at zero hours.1.4.1.6. Calculated deterioration factors may cover families in addition to the one on which they were generated if the manufacturer submits a justification acceptable to the national type approval authority in advance of type approval that the affected engine families can be reasonably expected to have similar emission deterioration characteristic based on the design and technology used.A non-exclusive list of design and technology groupings is given below:- conventional two-stroke engines without after treatment system,- conventional two-stroke engines with a ceramic catalyst of the same active material and loading, and the same number of cells per cm2,- conventional two-stroke engines with a metallic catalyst of the same active material and loading, same substrate and the same number of cells per cm2,- two-stroke engines provided with a stratified scavenging system,- four-stroke engines with catalyst (defined as above) with same valve technology and identical lubrication system,- four-stroke engines without catalyst with the same valve technology and identical lubrication system.2. EMISSION DURABILITY PERIODS FOR STAGE 2 ENGINES2.1. Manufacturers shall declare the applicable EDP category for each engine family at the time of type approval. Such category shall be the category which most closely approximates the expected useful lives of the equipment into which the engines are expected to be installed as determined by the engine manufacturer. Manufacturers shall retain data appropriate to support their choice of EDP category for each engine family. Such data shall be supplied to the approval authority upon request.2.1.1. For hand-held engines: manufacturers shall select an EDP category from table 1.Table 1: EDP categories for hand-held engines (hours)>TABLE>2.1.2. For non-hand-held engines: manufacturers shall select an EDP category from table 2.Table 2: EDP categories for non-hand-held engines (hours)>TABLE>2.1.3. The manufacturer must satisfy the approval authority that the declared useful life is appropriate. Data to support a manufacturer's choice of EDP category, for a given engine family, may include but are not limited to:- surveys of the life spans of the equipment in which the subject engines are installed,- engineering evaluations of field aged engines to ascertain when engine performance deteriorates to the point where usefulness and/or reliability is impacted to a degree sufficient to necessitate overhaul or replacement,- warranty statements and warranty periods,- marketing materials regarding engine life,- failure reports from engine customers, and- engineering evaluations of the durability, in hours, of specific engine technologies, engine materials or engine designs."5.

In establishment of their limit values the terms of ISO 4259 "Petroleum products - Determination and application of precision data in relation to methods of test" have been applied and in fixing a minimum value, a minimum difference of 2R above zero has been taken into account; in fixing a maximum and minimum value, the minimum difference is 4R (R = reproducibility). Notwithstanding this measure, which is necessary for statistical reasons, the manufacturer of fuels should nevertheless aim at a zero value where the stipulated maximum value is 2R and at the mean value in the case of quotations of maximum and minimum limits. Should it be necessary to clarify the question as to whether a fuel meets the requirements of the specifications, the terms of ISO 4259 should be applied.Note 2:The fuel may contain oxidation inhibitors and metal deactivators normally used to stabilise refinery gasoline streams, but detergent/dispersive additives and solvent oils must not be added.6.

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE  of 3 June 1991  on the frequency band to be designated for the coordinated introduction of digital European cordless telecommunications (DECT) into the Community  (91/287/EEC) THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100a thereof,  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),  In cooperation with the European Parliament (2),  Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),  Whereas recommendation 84/549/EEC (4) calls for the introduction of services on the basis of a common harmonized approach in the field of telecommunications;  Whereas the Council in its resolution of 30 June 1988 (5) on the development of the common market for telecommunications services and equipment calls for the promotion of Europe-wide services according to market requirements;  Whereas the resources offered by modern telecommunications networks should be utilized to the full for the economic development of the Community;  Whereas Council Directive 89/336/EEC of 3 May 1989 on the approximation of the laws of Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility (6) is applicable, and particular attention should be taken to avoid harmful electromagnetic interference;  Whereas current cordless telephone systems in use in the Community, and the frequency bands they operate in, vary widely and may not allow the benefits of Europe-wide services or benefit from the economies of scale associated with a truly European  market;  Whereas the European Telecommunications Standard Institute (ETSI) is currently developing the European Telecommunications Standard (ETS) or digital European cordless telecommunications (DECT);  Whereas the development of the European Telecommunications Standard (ETS) must take account of the safety of users, and the need for Europe-wide interoperability and enable users provided with a service based on DECT technology in one Member State to  gain access to the service in any other Member State, where appropriate;  Whereas the European implementation of DECT will provide an important opportunity to establish truly European digital cordless telephone facilities;  Whereas ETSI has estimated that DECT will require 20 MHz in high density areas;  Whereas the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) has recommended the common European frequency band 1880-1900 MHz for DECT, recognizing that, subject to the system, development of DECT additional frequency spectrum  may be required;  Whereas this should be taken into account in the preparation for the 1992 World Administrative Radio Conference (WARC);  Whereas after the date of designation of the frequency band for DECT, existing services may continue in the band, providing that they do not interfere with DECT systems that may be established according to commercial demand;  Whereas the implementation of Council recommendation 91/288/EEC of 3 June 1991 on the coordinated introduction of DECT into the Community (7), will ensure the implementation of DECT by 31 December 1992 at the latest;  Whereas Council Directive 91/263/EEC of 29 April 1991 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning telecommunications terminal equipment, including the mutual recognition of their conformity (8) will allow the rapid establishment of  common conformity specifications for DECT;  Whereas the establishment of DECT depends on the allocation and availability of a frequency band in order to transmit and receive between fixed-base stations and mobile stations;  Whereas some flexibility will be needed in order to take account of different frequency requirements in different Member States; it will be necessary to ensure that such flexibility does not slow down the implementation of DECT technology according to  commercial demand across the Community;  Whereas the progressive availability of the full range of the frequency band set out above will be indispensable for the establishment of DECT on a Europe-wide basis,  HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:  Article 1  For the purposes of this Directive, the digital European cordless telecommunications (DECT) system shall mean technology conforming to the European Telecommunications Standard (ETS) for digital cordless telecommunications referred to in  recommendation 91/288/EEC, and the telecommunications systems, both public and private, which directly utilize such technology.  Article 2  Member States shall, in accordance with CEPT Recommendation T/R 22-02 of the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administration designate the frequency band 1880-1900 MHz for digital European cordless telecommunications  (DECT) by 1 January 1992.  In accordance with the CEPT Recommendation, DECT shall have priority over other services in the same band, and be protected in the designated band.  Article 3  1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 31 December 1991. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.  2. When Member States adopt these measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or shall be accompanied by such reference on the occasion of their official publication. The methods of making such a reference shall be laid down by the Member  States.
