Application for GB type-approval of an engine system or engine family as a separate technical unit with regard to emissions ...
Article 5
1
The manufacturer shall submit to the approval authority an application for GB type-approval of an engine system or engine family as a separate technical unit.
2
The application referred to in paragraph 1 shall be drawn up in accordance with the model of the information document set out in Appendix 4 to Annex I. For that purpose Part 1 of that Appendix shall apply.
3
Together with the application, the manufacturer shall provide a documentation package that fully explains any element of design which affects emissions, the emission control strategy of the engine system, the means by which the engine system controls the output variables which have a bearing upon emissions, whether that control is direct or indirect, and fully explains the warning and inducement system required by Sections 4 and 5 of Annex XIII. The documentation package shall consist of the following parts including the information set out in Section 8 to Annex I:
a
a formal documentation package that shall be retained by the approval authority. The formal documentation package may be made available to interested parties upon request;
b
an extended documentation package that shall remain confidential. The extended documentation package may be kept by the approval authority, or be retained by the manufacturer, at the discretion of the approval authority, but shall be made available for inspection by the approval authority at the time of approval or at any time during the validity of the approval. When the documentation package is retained by the manufacturer, the approval authority shall take the necessary measures to ensure that the documentation is not being altered after approval.
4
In addition to the information referred to in paragraph 3, the manufacturer shall submit the following information:
a
in the case of positive-ignition engines, a declaration by the manufacturer of the minimum percentage of misfires out of a total number of firing events that either would result in emissions exceeding the limits set out in Annex X if that percentage of misfire had been present from the start of the emission test as set out in Annex III or could lead to an exhaust catalyst, or catalysts, overheating prior to causing irreversible damage;
b
a description of the provisions taken to prevent tampering with and modification of the emission control computer(s) including the facility for updating using a manufacturer-approved programme or calibration;
c
documentation of the OBD system, in accordance with the requirements set out in Section 5 to Annex X;
d. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
e
a Statement of Off-Cycle Emission compliance with the requirements of Article 14 and Section 9 to Annex VI;
f
a Statement of OBD in-use Performance compliance with the requirements of Appendix 6 to Annex X;
g. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
h
the initial plan for in-service testing according to point 2.4 of Annex II;
i
where appropriate, copies of other type-approvals with the relevant data to enable extension of approvals and establishment of deterioration factors;
j
where appropriate, the documentation packages necessary for the correct installation of the engine type-approved as a separate technical unit.
5
The manufacturer shall submit to the technical service responsible for the type-approval tests an engine or, as appropriate, a parent engine representative of the type to be approved.
6
Changes to the make of a system, component or separate technical unit that occur after a type-approval shall not automatically invalidate a type-approval, unless its original characteristics or technical parameters are changed in such a way that the functionality of the engine or pollution control system is affected.
