‘Appendix 3 Crankcase gas emissions and interpretation of CO₂ emission and fuel consumption test results

1. Zero crankcase gas emissions shall be emitted from the type-approved vehicle of categories L1e, L2e and L6e. Crankcase gas emissions shall not be discharged directly into the ambient atmosphere from any L-category vehicle throughout its useful life.

2. Interpretation of CO₂ emission and fuel consumption test type I results of categories L1e, L2e and L6e vehicles

2.1. The CO₂ and fuel consumption values adopted as the type-approval value shall be as declared by the manufacturer provided this is not exceeded by more than four per cent by the value measured by the technical service The measured value may be lower without any limitations.

2.2. If the measured value of CO₂ and fuel consumption exceeds the manufacturer’s declared CO₂ value and fuel consumption by more than four per cent another test is run on the same vehicle.

2.3. If the average of the two test results does not exceed the manufacturer’s declared value by more than four per cent the value declared by the manufacturer is taken as the type-approval value.

2.4. If the average of the two test results still exceeds the declared value by more than four per cent, a final test is run on the same vehicle. The average of the three test results is taken as the type-approval value.’;
