ANNEX IIIVERIFYING AVERAGE EXHAUST EMISSIONS AT AMBIENT CONDITIONS

(TYPE 1 TEST)

3.TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

3.9.

An addition to the requirements of Paragraph 1.3. of Appendix 8 to Annex 4, the following requirements shall apply:

Non-methane hydrocarbon concentration is calculated as follows:

CNMHC = CTHC — (Rf CH4 × CCH4)

where:

CNMHC

corrected concentration of NMHC in the diluted exhaust gas, expressed in ppm carbon equivalent,

CTHC

concentration of THC in the diluted exhaust gas, expressed in ppm carbon equivalent and corrected by the amount of THC contained in the dilution air,

CCH4

concentration of CH4 in the diluted exhaust gas, expressed in ppm carbon equivalent and corrected by the amount of CH4 contained in the dilution air,

Rf CH4

is the FID response factor to methane as defined in paragraph 2.3 of Annex 4-Appendix 6.
