point 2.5 is replaced by the following:
The OBD system shall monitor the reduction in the efficiency of the catalytic converter with respect to emissions of NMHC and NOx. Manufacturers may monitor the front catalyst alone or in combination with the next catalyst(s) downstream. Each monitored catalyst or catalyst combination shall be considered malfunctioning when the emissions exceed the NMHC or NOx threshold limits provided for in Section 2.3 of this Annex. By way of derogation, the requirement of monitoring the reduction in the efficiency of the catalytic converter with respect to NOx emissions shall only apply as from the dates set out in Article 17.’;
Annex XII is amended as follows:
point 2.2.2 is replaced by the following:
point 2.3 is replaced by the following:
density: measured on the test fuel according to ISO 3675 or an equivalent method. For petrol, diesel, biodiesel and ethanol (E85 end E75), the density measured at 15 °C will be used; for LPG and natural gas/biomethane a reference density shall be used, as follows:
0,538 kg/litre for LPG,
0,654 kg/m3 for NG (mean value of G20 and G23 reference fuels at 15 °C.)
hydrogen-carbon-oxygen ratio: the following fixed values shall be used:
C1H1,89O0,016 for petrol (E5),

point 3.3 is replaced by the following:
The fuel consumption, expressed in litres per 100 km (in the case of petrol (E5/E10), LPG, ethanol (E85) and diesel (B5/B7)), in m3 per 100 km (in the case of NG/biomethane and H2NG) or in kg per 100 km (in the case of hydrogen) is calculated by means of the following formulae:
for vehicles with a positive ignition engine fuelled with LPG:
If the composition of the fuel used for the test differs from the composition that is assumed for the calculation of the normalised consumption, on the manufacturer’s request a correction factor cf may be applied, as follows:
The correction factor cf, which may be applied, is determined as follows:
