A new Annex XII is added to read as follows:'ANNEX XIIEC TYPE-APPROVAL FOR A VEHICLE FUELLED BY LPG OR NATURAL GAS WITH REGARD TO ITS EMISSIONS1. INTRODUCTIONThis Annex describes the special requirements that apply in the case of an approval of a vehicle that runs on LPG or natural gas, or that can run either on unleaded petrol or LPG or natural gas, in so far as the testing on LPG or natural gas is concerned.In the case of LPG and natural gas there is on the market a large variation in fuel composition, requiring the fuelling system to adapt its fuelling rates to these compositions. To demonstrate this capability, the vehicle has to be tested in the test type I on two extreme reference fuels and demonstrate the self-adaptability of the fuelling system. Whenever the self adaptability of a fuelling system has been demonstrated on a vehicle, such a vehicle may be considered as a parent of a family. Vehicles that comply with the requirements of members of that family, if fitted with the same fuelling system, need to be tested on only one fuel.2. DEFINITIONSFor the purpose of this Annex:2.1. A parent vehicle means a vehicle that is selected to act as the vehicle on which the self adaptability of a fuelling system is going to be demonstrated, and to which the members of a family refer. It is possible to have more than one parent vehicle in a family.2.2. A member of the family is a vehicle that shares the following essential characteristics with its parent(s):2.2.1. (a) It is produced by the same vehicle manufacturer.(b) It is subject to the same emission limits.(c) If the gas fuelling system has a central metering for the whole engine:It has a certified power output between 0,7 and 1,15 times that of the engine of the parent vehicle.If the gas fuelling system has an individual metering per cylinder:It has a certified power output per cylinder between 0,7 and 1,15 times that of the engine of the parent vehicle.(d) If fitted with a catalyst system, it has the same type of catalyst i.e. three-way, oxidation, de NOx.(e) It has a gas fuelling system (including the pressure regulator) from the same system manufacturer and of the same type: induction, vapour injection (single point, multipoint), liquid injection (single point, multipoint).(f) This gas fuelling system is controlled by an ECU of the same type and technical specification, containing the same software principles and control strategy.2.2.2. With regard to requirement (c): in the case where a demonstration shows two gas fuelled vehicles could be members of the same family with the exception of their certified power output, respectively P1 and P2 (P1 NUM>{emission result on one reference fuel}>DEN>{emission result on the other reference fuel}3.2. Exhaust emissions approval of a member of the family:For a member of the family a test of type I shall be performed with one reference fuel. This reference fuel may be either reference fuel. The vehicle is considered to comply if the following requirements are met:3.2.1. The vehicle complies with the definition of a family member as defined under point 2.2.3.2.2. The test results for each pollutant will be multiplied with its factor "r" (see point 3.1.3), if r is greater than 1,0. If r is smaller than 1,0, its value will be taken as 1. The results of these multiplications shall be taken as the final emission result. On the manufacturer's request the test type I may be performed on reference fuel 2 or on both reference fuels, so that no correction is needed.3.2.3. The vehicle shall comply with the emission limits valid for the relevant category for both measured and calculated emissions.4. GENERAL CONDITIONS4.1. Tests for conformity of production may be performed with a commercial fuel of which the C3/C4 ratio lies between those of the reference fuels in the case of LPG, or of which the Wobbe index lies between those of the extreme reference fuels in the case of NG. In that case a fuel analysis needs to be present.`Annex XIII 31. A new Annex XIII is added to read as follows:'ANNEX XIIIEC TYPE-APPROVAL OF REPLACEMENT CATALYTIC CONVERTER AS SEPARATE TECHNICAL UNIT1.

      COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2008/74/EC
   of 18 July 2008
   amending, as regards the type approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and Euro 6) and access to vehicle repair and maintenance information, Directive 2005/55/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Directive 2005/78/EC
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to Directive 2005/55/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 September 2005 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the measures to be taken against the emission of gaseous and particulate pollutants from compression-ignition engines for use in vehicles, and the emission of gaseous pollutants from positive-ignition engines fuelled with natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas for use in vehicles (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Following the change of scope of Directive 2005/55/EC introduced by Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2007 on type approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and Euro 6) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information (2), it is necessary to further amend this Directive by transferring the relevant technical requirements. Consequently, it is also necessary to amend Commission Directive 2005/78/EC (3), which implements that Directive.

               (2)

               As a consequence of the change of scope, it is necessary to introduce new requirements into the heavy-duty emissions legislation set up by Directive 2005/55/EC. These requirements include test procedures to enable type approval of heavy-duty engines and vehicles with petrol engines.

               (3)

               In addition, it is necessary to introduce existing requirements for measuring the smoke opacity of diesel engines into Directive 2005/78/EC. This is due to the repeal of Council Directive 72/306/EEC of 2 August 1972 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the measures to be taken against the emission of pollutants from diesel engines for use in vehicles (4) as provided by Regulation (EC) No 715/2007.
