Article 1 U.K.

Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 is amended as follows:

(1)

In Article 2, the following points 41 and 42 are added:

‘41.

“Real driving emissions (RDE)” means the emissions of a vehicle under its normal conditions of use;

42.

“Portable emissions measurement system (PEMS)” means a portable emissions measurement system meeting the requirements specified in Appendix 1 to Annex IIIA;’.

(2)

In Article 3, the following paragraph 10 is added:

‘10. The manufacturer shall ensure that, throughout the normal life of a vehicle which is type-approved in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, its emissions as determined in accordance with the requirements set out in Annex IIIA to this Regulation and emitted at an RDE test performed in accordance with that Annex, shall not exceed the values set out therein.

Type-approval in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 may only be issued if the vehicle is part of a validated PEMS test family according to Appendix 7 of Annex IIIA.

Until the adoption of specific values for the parameters CF_{pollutan t} in the table of point 2.1 of Annex IIIA to this Regulation, the following provisions shall apply:

(a) The requirements of point 2.1 of Annex IIIA to this Regulation shall only apply after the adoption of specific values for the parameters CF_pollutant in the table of point 2.1 of Annex IIIA to this Regulation.

(b) The other requirements of Annex IIIA, in particular with regard to RDE tests to be performed and data to be recorded and made available, shall apply only to new type-approvals according to Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 issued after the twentieth day following that of the publication of Annex IIIA in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(c) The requirements of Annex IIIA shall not apply to type-approvals granted to small-volume manufacturers as defined in Article 2(32) of this Regulation.

(d) Where the requirements set out in Appendices 5 and 6 of Annex IIIA are satisfied for only one of the two data evaluation methods described in those Appendices, the following procedures shall be followed:

(i)

one additional RDE test shall be performed;

(ii)

where those requirements are again satisfied for only one method the analysis of the completeness and normality shall be recorded for both methods and the calculation required by point 9.3 of Annex IIIA may be limited to the method for which the completeness and normality requirements are satisfied.

The data of both RDE tests and of the analysis of the completeness and normality shall be recorded and made available for examining the difference in the results of the two data evaluation methods.

(e) The power at the wheels of the test vehicle shall be determined either by wheel hub torque measurement or from the CO₂ mass flow using “Velines” according to point 4 of Appendix 6 of Annex IIIA.’.

(3)

In Article 6, paragraph 1, the fourth subparagraph is replaced by the following:

‘The requirements of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 shall be deemed to be met if all the following conditions are fulfilled:

(a)

the requirements of Article 3(10) are met;

(b)

the requirements of Article 13 of this Regulation are met;

(c)

for vehicles type-approved to the requirements of the Euro 5 emission limits given in Table 1 of Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, the vehicle has been approved according to UN/ECE Regulations No 83, series of amendments 06, No 85, No 101, series of amendments 01 and in the case of compression ignition vehicles No 24 Part III, series of amendments 03;

(d)

for vehicles type-approved to the requirements of the Euro 6 emission limits given in Table 2 of Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, the vehicle has been approved according to UN/ECE Regulations No 83, series of amendments 07, No 85 and its supplements, No 101, Revision 3 (comprising series of amendments 01 and their supplements) and in the case of compression ignition vehicles No 24 Part III, series of amendments 03.’.
