Normal payload is a payload between 10 and 100 % of the maximum payload.
The maximum payload is the difference between technically permissible maximum laden mass of the vehicle and the mass of the vehicle in running order as specified in accordance to Annex I to Directive 2007/46/EC.
For the purpose of in-service conformity testing, the payload may be reproduced and an artificial load may be used.
Approval authorities may request to test the vehicle with any payload between 10 and 100 % of the maximum vehicle payload. In case the mass of the PEMS equipment needed for operation exceeds 10 % of the maximum vehicle payload this mass may be considered as minimum payload.
Vehicles of category N 3 shall be tested, when applicable, with a semi-trailer.]

F1 Substituted by Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/1718 of 20 September 2016 amending Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 with respect to emissions from heavy-duty vehicles as regards the provisions on testing by means of portable emission measurement systems (PEMS) and the procedure for the testing of the durability of replacement pollution control devices (Text with EEA relevance).
The test shall be conducted under ambient conditions meeting the following conditions:
Atmospheric pressure greater than or equal to 82,5 kPa,
Temperature greater than or equal to 266 K (– 7 °C) and less than or equal to the temperature determined by the following equation at the specified atmospheric pressure:
T = – 0,4514 × (101,3 – pb) + 311
where:
T is the ambient air temperature, K
pb is the atmospheric pressure, kPa
The engine coolant temperature shall be in accordance with point 2.6.1 of Appendix 1.
Oil samples shall be taken.
The test fuel shall be market fuel covered by Directive 98/70/EC and the relevant CEN standards, or reference fuel as specified in Annex IX to this Regulation.]

The shares of operation shall be expressed as a percentage of the total trip duration.
The trip shall consist of urban driving followed by rural and motorway driving according to the shares specified in points 4.5.1 to 4.5.4. Where another testing order is justified for practical reasons and after the agreement of the approval authority another order may be used, however, the test shall always start with the urban driving.
For the purpose of this Section, ‘ approximately ’ shall mean the target value ± 5 %.
Urban, rural and motorway parts can be determined either on the basis of:
geographical coordinates (by means of a map), or
first acceleration method.
In case the trip composition is determined on the basis of geographical coordinates, the vehicle should not exceed, for a cumulative period longer than 5 % of the total duration of each part of the trip, the following speed:
50 km/h in the urban part,
75 km/h in the rural part (90 km/h in the case of vehicles of categories M 1 and N 1 )
In case the trip composition is determined by means of the first acceleration method, the first acceleration above 55 km/h (70 km/h in the case of vehicles of categories M 1 and N 1 ) shall indicate the beginning of the rural part and the first acceleration above 75 km/h (90 km/h in the case of vehicles of categories M 1 and N 1 ) shall indicate the beginning of the motorway part.
The criteria for differentiation between urban, rural and motorway operation shall be agreed with the approval authority prior to the beginning of the test.
Average speed in urban operation shall be between 15 and 30 km/h.
Average speed in rural operation shall be between 45 and 70 km/h (60 and 90 km/h in the case of vehicles of categories M 1 and N 1 ).
Average speed in motorway operation shall be above 70 km/h (90 km/h in the case of vehicles of categories M 1 and N 1 ).
Artificial warming-up of the emission control systems prior to the test is prohibited.
accelerating: 26,9 % of the time;
decelerating: 22,6 % of the time;
cruising: 38,1 % of the time;
stop (vehicle speed = 0): 12,4 % of the time.]
