Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 is amended as follows:
The following text is inserted after the title:
‘PART A’
Point 1.1. is replaced by the following:
Point 2.10. is replaced with the following:
The following is added:
This Part shall apply to M and N1 class I vehicles based on types approved after 1 January 2019 and to all vehicles registered after 1 September 2019 and to N1 classes II and III and N2 vehicles based on types approved after 1 September 2019 and registered after 1 September 2020.
It sets out the in-service conformity (ISC) requirements for checking compliance against the emission limits for tailpipe (including low temperature) and evaporative emissions throughout the normal life of the vehicle up to five years or 100 000 km, whichever is sooner.
An ISC family shall be composed of the following vehicles:
For tailpipe emissions (Type 1 and Type 6 tests), the vehicles covered by the PEMS test family, as described in Appendix 7 of Annex IIIA,
For evaporative emissions (Type 4 test), the vehicles included in the evaporative emission family, as described in Point 5.5 of Annex VI.
The granting type approval authority shall gather all relevant information on possible emission non-compliances relevant for deciding which ISC families to check in a particular year. The granting type-approval authority shall take into account in particular information indicating vehicle types with high emissions in real driving conditions. That information shall be obtained through the use of appropriate methods, which may include remote sensing, simplified on-board emissions monitoring systems (SEMS) and testing with PEMS. The number and importance of exceedances observed during such testing may be used to prioritise ISC testing.
As part of the information provided for the ISC checks, each manufacturer shall report to the granting type approval authority on emission-related warranty claims, and any emission-related warranty repair works performed or recorded during servicing, in accordance with a format agreed between the granting type approval authority and the manufacturer at type approval. The information shall detail the frequency and nature of faults for emissions-related components and systems by ISC family. The reports shall be filed at least once a year for each vehicle ISC family for the duration of the period during which in-service conformity checks are to be performed in accordance with Article 9(3).
On the basis of the information referred to in the first and second paragraphs, the granting type approval authority shall make an initial assessment of the risk of an ISC family to not comply with the in-service conformity rules and on that basis shall take a decision on which families to test and which types of tests to perform under the ISC provisions. Additionally, the granting type approval authority may randomly choose ISC families to test.
The manufacturer shall perform ISC testing for tailpipe emissions comprising at least the Type 1 test for all ISC families. The manufacturer may also perform RDE, Type 4 and Type 6 tests for all or part of the ISC families. The manufacturer shall report to the granting type approval authority all results of the ISC testing using the Electronic Platform for in-service conformity described in point 5.9.
The granting type approval authority shall check an appropriate number of ISC families each year, as set out in point 5.4. The granting type approval authority shall include all results of the ISC testing in the Electronic Platform for in-service conformity described in point 5.9.
Accredited laboratories or technical services may perform checks on any number of ISC families each year. The accredited laboratories or technical services shall report to the granting type approval authority all results of the ISC testing using the Electronic Platform for in-service conformity described in point 5.9.
Inspection bodies and laboratories performing ISC checks, that are not a designated technical service, shall be accredited according to EN ISO/IEC 17020:2012 for the ISC procedure. Laboratories performing ISC tests and which are not designated technical services within the meaning of Article 41 of Directive 2007/46, may only undertake ISC testing if they are accredited according to EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017.
The granting type approval authority shall annually audit the ISC checks performed by the manufacturer. The granting type approval authority may also audit the ISC checks performed by accredited laboratories and technical services. The audit shall be based on the information provided by the manufacturers, accredited laboratory or technical service which shall include at least the detailed ISC report in accordance with Appendix 3. The granting type approval authority may require the manufacturers, accredited laboratories or technical services to provide additional information.
The granting type approval authority shall communicate the results of the compliance assessment and remedial measures for a particular ISC family to the accredited laboratories or technical services which provided test results for that family as soon as they become available.
The results of the tests, including the detailed data for all vehicles tested, may only be disclosed to the public after the publication by the granting type approval authority of the annual report or the results of an individual ISC procedure or after the closure of the statistical procedure (see point 5.10.) without a result. If the results of the ISC tests are published, reference shall be made to the annual report by the granting type approval authority which included them.
ISC testing shall only be performed on vehicles selected in accordance with Appendix 1.
ISC testing with the Type 1 test shall be performed in accordance with Annex XXI.
ISC testing with the RDE tests shall be performed in accordance with Annex IIIA, Type 4 tests shall be performed in accordance with Appendix 2 to this Annex and Type 6 tests shall be performed in accordance with Annex VIII.
The time period between commencing two in-service conformity checks by the manufacturer for a given ISC family shall not exceed 24 months.
The frequency of ISC testing performed by the granting type approval authority shall be based on a risk assessment methodology consistent with the international standard ISO 31000:2018 — Risk Management — Principles and guidelines which shall include the results of the initial assessment made according to point 4.
As of 1 January 2020, granting type approval authorities shall perform the Type 1 and RDE tests on a minimum of 5 % of the ISC families per manufacturer per year or at least two ISC families per manufacturer per year, where available. The requirement for testing a minimum of 5 % or at least two ISC families per manufacturer per year shall not apply to small volume manufacturers. The granting type approval authority shall ensure the widest possible coverage of ISC families and vehicle age in a particular in-service conformity family in order to ensure compliance according to Article 8, paragraph 3. The granting type approval authority shall complete the statistical procedure for each ISC family it has started within 12 months.
Type 4 or Type 6 ISC tests shall have no minimum frequency requirements.
The granting type approval authority shall ensure that sufficient resources are available to cover the costs for in-service conformity testing. Without prejudice to national law, those costs shall be recovered by fees that can be levied on the manufacturer by the granting type approval authority. Such fees shall cover ISC testing of up to 5 % of the in-service conformity families per manufacturer per year or at least two ISC families per manufacturer per year.
When performing RDE testing for ISC, the granting type approval authority shall draft a testing plan. That plan shall include testing to check ISC compliance under a wide range of conditions in accordance with Annex IIIA.
The information gathered shall be sufficiently comprehensive to ensure that in-service performance can be assessed for vehicles that are properly maintained and used. The tables in Appendix 1 shall be used to decide whether the vehicle can be selected for the purposes of ISC testing. During the check against the tables in Appendix 1, some vehicles may be declared as faulty and not tested during ISC, when there is evidence that parts of the emission control system were damaged.
The same vehicle may be used to perform and establish reports from more than one type of tests (Type 1, RDE, Type 4, Type 6) but only the first valid test of each type shall be taken into account for the statistical procedure.
The vehicle shall belong to an ISC family as described in point 3 and shall comply with the checks set out in the table in Appendix 1. It shall be registered in the Union and have been driven in the Union for at least 90 % of its driving time. The emissions testing may be done in a different geographical region from that where the vehicles have been selected.
The vehicles selected shall be accompanied by a maintenance record which shows that the vehicle has been properly maintained and has been serviced in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations with only original parts used for the replacement of emissions related parts.
Vehicles exhibiting indications of abuse, improper use that could affect its emissions performance, tampering or conditions that may lead to unsafe operation shall be excluded from ISC.
The vehicles shall not have undergone aerodynamic modifications that cannot be removed prior to testing.
A vehicle shall be excluded from ISC testing if the information stored in the on-board computer shows that the vehicle was operated after a fault code was displayed and a repair was not carried out in accordance with manufacturer specifications.
A vehicle shall be excluded from ISC testing if the fuel from the vehicle tank does not meet the applicable standards laid down in Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(1) or if there is evidence or record of fuelling with the wrong type of fuel.
Diagnosis of faults and any normal maintenance necessary in accordance with Appendix 1 shall be performed on vehicles accepted for testing, prior to or after proceeding with ISC testing.
The following checks shall be carried out: OBD checks (performed before or after the test), visual checks for lit malfunction indicator lamps, checks on air filter, all drive belts, all fluid levels, radiator and fuel filler cap, all vacuum and fuel system hoses and electrical wiring related to the after-treatment system for integrity; checks on ignition, fuel metering and pollution control device components for maladjustments and/or tampering.
If the vehicle is within 800 km of a scheduled maintenance service, that service shall be performed.
The window washer fluid shall be removed before the Type 4 test and replaced with hot water.
A fuel sample shall be collected and kept in accordance with the requirements of Annex IIIA for further analysis in case of fail.
All faults shall be recorded. When the fault is on the pollution control devices then the vehicle shall be reported as faulty and not be used further for testing, but the fault shall be taken into account for the purposes of the compliance assessment performed in accordance with point 6.1.
When manufacturers apply the statistical procedure set out in point 5.10 for the Type 1 test, the number of sample lots shall be set on the basis of the annual sales volume of an in-service family in the Union, as described in the following table:
Number of sample lots for ISC testing with Type 1 tests
EU Registrations per calendar year of vehicles in the sampling period | Number of sample lots(for Type 1 tests) |
---|---|
up to 100 000 | 1 |
100 001 to 200 000 | 2 |
above 200 000 | 3 |
Each sample lot shall include enough vehicle types, in order to ensure that at least 20 % of the total family sales are covered. When a family requires more than one sample lot to be tested, the vehicles in the second and third sample lots shall reflect different vehicle use conditions from those selected for the first sample.
The Commission shall set up an electronic platform in order to facilitate the exchange of data between on the one side, the manufacturers, accredited labs or technical services and on the other side the granting type approval authority and the taking of the decision on the sample fail or pass.
The manufacturer shall complete the package on Testing Transparency referred to in Article 5 (12) in the format specified in Tables 1 and 2 of Appendix 5 and in the Table in this point and transmit it to the type-approval authority which grants the emission type-approval. Table 2 of Appendix 5 shall be used in order to allow the selection of vehicles from the same family for testing and along with the Table 1 provide sufficient information for vehicles to be tested.
Once the electronic platform referred to in the first paragraph becomes available, the type-approval authority which grants the emission type-approval shall upload the information in Tables 1 and 2 of Appendix 5 to this platform within 5 working days of receiving it.
All information in Tables 1 and 2 of Appendix 5 shall be accessible to the public in an electronic form free of charge.
The following information shall also be part of the package on Testing Transparency and shall be provided by the manufacturer free-of-charge within 5 working days of the request by an accredited laboratory or technical service.
ID | Input | Description |
---|---|---|
1. | Special Procedure for conversion of vehicles (4WD to 2WD) for dyno testing if available | As defined in Sub-Annex 6 of Annex XXI; point 2.4.2.4. |
2. | Dyno mode instructions, if available | How to enable the dyno mode as done also during TA tests |
3. | Coastdown mode used during the TA tests | If the vehicle has coastdown mode instructions how to enable this mode |
4. | Battery discharge procedure (OVC-HEV, PEV) | OEM procedure to deplete battery for preparing OVC-HEV for charge sustaining tests, and PEV to charge the battery |
5. | Procedure to deactivate all auxiliaries | If used during TA |
The verification of in-service conformity shall rely on a statistical method following the general principles of sequential sampling for inspection by attributes. The minimum sample size for a pass result is three vehicles, and the maximum cumulative sample size is ten vehicles for the Type 1 and RDE tests.
For the Type 4 and Type 6 tests a simplified method may be used, where the sample shall consist of three vehicles and shall be considered a fail if all three vehicles fail to pass the test, and a pass if all three vehicles pass the test. In cases where two out of three passed or failed, the type approval authority may decide to conduct further tests or proceed with accessing the compliance in accordance with point 6.1.
Test results shall not be multiplied by deterioration factors.
For vehicles that have a Declared Maximum RDE Values reported in point 48.2 of the Certificate of Conformity, as described in Annex IX of Directive 2007/46/EC which is lower than the emission limits set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, the conformity shall be checked both against the Declared Maximum RDE Value increased by the margin set out in point 2.1.1 of Annex IIIA and the not-to-exceed limit set out in in section 2.1. of that Annex. If the sample is found not to conform with the Declared Maximum RDE Values increased by the applicable measurement uncertainty margin, but pass with the not-to-exceed limit, the granting type approval authority shall require the manufacturer to take corrective actions.
Prior to the performance of the first ISC test, the manufacturer, accredited laboratory or technical service (“party”) shall notify the intent of performing in-service conformity testing of a given vehicle family to the granting type approval authority. Upon this notification, the granting type approval authority shall open a new statistical folder to process the results for each relevant combination of the following parameters for that particular party/or that pool of parties: vehicle family, emissions test type and pollutant. Separate statistical procedures shall be opened for each relevant combination of those parameters.
The granting type approval authority shall incorporate in each statistical folder only the results provided by the relevant party. The granting type approval authority shall keep a record of the number of tests performed, the number of failed and passed tests and other necessary data to support the statistical procedure.
Whereas more than one statistical procedure can be open at the same time for a given combination of test type and vehicle family, a party shall only be allowed to provide test results to one open statistical procedure for a given combination of test type and vehicle family. Each test shall be reported only once and all tests (valid, not valid, fail or pass, etc.) shall be reported.
Each ISC statistical procedure shall remain open until an outcome is reached when the statistical procedure arrives to a pass or fail decision for the sample in accordance point 5.10.5. However, if an outcome is not reached within 12 months of the opening of a statistical folder, the granting type approval authority shall close the statistical folder unless it decides to complete testing for that statistical folder within the following 6 months.
Test results from two or more accredited laboratories or technical services may be pooled for the purposes of a common statistical procedure. The pooling of test results shall require the written consent from all the interested parties providing test results to a pool of results, and a notification to the granting type approval authority prior to the start of testing. One of the parties pooling test results shall be designated as leader of the pool and be responsible for data reporting and communication with the granting type approval authority.
An ISC emissions test shall be considered as ‘passed’ for one or more pollutants when the emissions result is equal or below the emission limit set out in Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 for that type of test.
An emissions test shall be considered as ‘failed’ for one or more pollutants when the emissions result is greater than the corresponding emission limit for that type of test. Each failed test result shall increase the ‘f’ count (see point 5.10.5) by 1 for that statistical instance.
An ISC emissions test shall be considered invalid if it does not respect the test requirements referred to in point 5.3. Invalid test results shall be excluded from the statistical procedure.
The results of all ISC tests shall be submitted to the granting type approval authority within ten working days from the execution of each test. The test results shall be accompanied by a comprehensive test report at the end of the tests. The results shall be incorporated in the sample in chronological order of execution.
The granting type approval authority shall incorporate all valid emission test results to the relevant open statistical procedure until a ‘sample fail’ or a ‘sample pass’ outcome is reached in accordance with point 5.10.5.
The presence of outlying results in the sample statistical procedure may lead to a ‘fail’ outcome in accordance with the procedures described below:
Outliers shall be categorised as intermediate or extreme.
An emissions test result shall be considered as an intermediate outlier if it is equal or greater than 1,3 times the applicable emission limit. The presence of two such outliers in a sample shall lead to a fail of the sample.
An emissions result shall be considered as an extreme outlier if it is equal or greater than 2,5 times the applicable emission limit. The presence of one such outlier in a sample shall lead to a fail of the sample. In such case, the plate number of the vehicle shall be communicated to the manufacturer and to the granting type approval authority. This possibility shall be communicated to the vehicle owners before testing.
For the purposes of deciding on a pass/fail result for the sample, ‘p’ is the count of passed results, and ‘f’ is the count of failed results. Each passed test result shall increase the ‘p’ count by 1 and each failed test result shall increase the ‘f’ count by 1 for the relevant open statistical procedure.
Upon the incorporation of valid emission test results to an open instance of the statistical procedure, the type approval authority shall perform the following actions:
update the cumulative sample size ‘n’ for that instance to reflect the total number of valid emissions tests incorporated to the statistical procedure;
following an evaluation of the results, update the count of passed results ‘p’ and the count of failed results ‘f’;
compute the number of extreme and intermediate outliers in the sample in accordance with point 5.10.4.
check whether a decision is reached with the procedure described below.
The decision depends on the cumulative sample size ‘n’, the passed and failed result counts ‘p’ and ‘f’, as well as the number of intermediate and/or extreme outliers in the sample. For the decision on a pass/fail of an ISC sample the granting type approval authority shall use the decision chart in Figure B.2 for vehicles based on types approved as of 1 January 2020 and the decision chart in Figure B.2.a for vehicles based on types approved until 31 December 2019. The charts indicate the decision to be taken for a given cumulative sample size ‘n’ and failed count result ‘f’.
Two decisions are possible for a statistical procedure for a given combination of vehicle family, emissions test type and pollutant:
‘Sample pass’ outcome shall be reached when the applicable decision chart from Figure B.2 or Figure B.2.a gives a “PASS” outcome for the current cumulative sample size ‘n’ and the count of failed results ‘f’.
‘Sample fail’ decision shall be reached when, for a given cumulative sample size ‘n’, when at least one of the following conditions is fulfilled:
the applicable decision chart from Figure B.2 or Figure B.2.a gives a “FAIL” decision for the current cumulative sample size ‘n’ and the count of failed results ‘f’.
there are two intermediate outliers;
there is one extreme outlier.
If no decision is reached, the statistical procedure shall remain open and further results shall be incorporated into it until a decision is reached or the procedure is closed in accordance with point 5.10.1.

The manufacturer of the base vehicle shall determine the allowed values for the parameters listed in Table B.3. The allowed Parameter Values for each family shall be recorded in the information document of the emissions type approval (see Appendix 3 to Annex I) and in the Transparency list 1 of Appendix 5 (rows 45 to 48). The second-stage manufacturer shall only be allowed to use the base vehicle emission values if the completed vehicle remains within the allowed Parameter Values. The parameter values for each completed vehicle shall be recorded in its Certificate of Conformity.
Allowed Parameter Values for multistage and special purpose vehicles to use the base vehicle emission type approval
Parameter Values: | Allowed values from - to: |
---|---|
Final Vehicle mass in running order (in kg) | |
Frontal area for final vehicle (in cm2) | |
Rolling resistance (kg/t) | |
Projected frontal area of air entrance of the front grille (in cm2) |
If a completed or special purpose vehicle is tested and the result of the test is below the applicable emission limit, the vehicle shall be considered as a pass for the ISC family for the purposes of point 5.10.3.
If the result of the test on a completed or special purpose vehicle exceeds the applicable emission limits but is not higher than 1,3 times the applicable emission limits, the tester shall examine whether that vehicle complies with the values in table B.3. Any non-compliance with these values shall be reported to the granting type approval authority. If the vehicle does not comply with those values, the granting type approval authority shall investigate the reasons for the non-compliance and take the appropriate measures regarding the manufacturer of the completed or special purpose vehicle to restore conformity, including the withdrawal of the type-approval. If the vehicle complies with the values in table B.3, it shall be considered as a flagged vehicle for the in-service conformity family for the purposes of point 6.1.
If the result of the test exceeds 1,3 times the applicable emission limits, shall be considered as a fail for the in-service conformity family for the purposes of point 6.1., but not as an outlier for the relevant ISC family. If the completed or special purpose vehicle does not comply with the values in table B.3, this shall be reported to the granting type approval authority, who shall investigate the reasons for the non-compliance and take the appropriate measures regarding the manufacturer of the completed or special purpose vehicle to restore conformity, including the withdrawal of the type-approval.
Upon the request of the granting type approval authority, the manufacturer shall provide additional information, showing in particular the possible cause of the failures, which parts of the family might be affected, whether other families might be affected, or why the problem which caused the failure at the original ISC tests is not related to in-service conformity, if applicable. The manufacturer shall be given the opportunity to prove that the in-service conformity provisions have been complied with.
a description of each vehicle emission type included in the plan of remedial measures;
a description of the specific modifications, alterations, repairs, corrections, adjustments or other changes to be made to bring the vehicles into conformity including a brief summary of the data and technical studies which support the decision of the manufacturer as to the particular remedial measures to be taken;
a description of the method by which the manufacturer will inform the vehicle owners of the planned remedial measures;
a description of the proper maintenance or use, if any, which the manufacturer stipulates as a condition of eligibility for repair under the plan of remedial measures, and an explanation of the need for such condition;
a description of the procedure to be followed by vehicle owners to obtain correction of the non-conformity; that description shall include a date after which the remedial measures shall be taken, the estimated time for the workshop to perform the repairs and where they can be done;
an example of the information transmitted to the vehicle owner;
a brief description of the system which the manufacturer uses to assure an adequate supply of component or systems for fulfilling the remedial action, including information on when an adequate supply of the components, software or systems needed to initiate the application of remedial measures will be available;
an example of all instructions to be sent to the repair shops which will perform the repair;
a description of the impact of the proposed remedial measures on the emissions, fuel consumption, driveability, and safety of each vehicle emission type, covered by the plan of remedial measures, including supporting data and technical studies;
where the plan of remedial measures includes a recall, a description of the method for recording the repair shall be submitted to the granting type approval authority. If a label is used, an example of it shall also be submitted.
For the purposes of point (d), the manufacturer may not impose maintenance or use conditions which are not demonstrably related to the non-conformity and the remedial measures.
The granting type approval authority shall make available on a publicly accessible website, free of charge and without the need for the user to reveal their identity or sign up, a report with the results of all the finalised ISC investigations of the previous year, at the latest by the 31 March of each year. In case some ISC investigations of the previous year are still open by that date, they shall be reported as soon as the investigation is finalised.
