|
6.4.3. |
Selection of vehicles for PEMS testing when validating a PEMS test family
When selecting vehicles from a PEMS test family, it shall be ensured that the following technical characteristics relevant for criteria emissions are covered by a PEMS test. A particular vehicle selected for testing can be representative for different technical characteristics. For the validation of a PEMS test family vehicles shall be selected for PEMS testing as follows: |

|
6.4.3.2. |
The manufacturer shall specify a value PMRH (= highest power-to- mass-ratio of all vehicles in the PEMS test family) and a value PMRL (= lowest power-to-mass-ratio of all vehicles in the PEMS test family). At least one vehicle configuration representative for the specified PMRH and one vehicle configuration representative for the specified PMRL of a PEMS test family shall be selected for testing. The power-to-mass ratio of a vehicle shall not deviate by more than 5 per cent from the specified value for PMRH, or PMRL for the vehicle to be considered as representative for this value. |
|
6.4.3.3. |
At least one vehicle for each transmission type (e.g., manual, automatic, DCT) installed in vehicles of the PEMS test family shall be selected for testing. |
|
6.4.3.4. |

6.4.3.7. |
Notwithstanding the provisions in paragraphs 6.4.3.1. to 6.4.3.6., at least the following number of vehicle emission types of a given PEMS test family shall be selected for testing:
|
6.5. Reporting for type approval
|
6.5.1. |
The vehicle manufacturer shall provide a full description of the PEMS test family, which shall include the technical criteria described in paragraph 6.3.1.2. and submit it to the authority. |
|
6.5.2. |
The manufacturer attributes a unique identification number of the format PF-CP-nnnnnnnnn…-WMI to the PEMS test family and communicates it to the authority:
where:
It is the responsibility of the owner of the WMI to ensure that the combination of the string nnnnnnnnn… and the WMI is unique to the family and that the string nnnnnnnnn… is unique within that WMI to the approval tests performed to obtain the approval. |
|
6.5.3. |
The granting approval authority and the vehicle manufacturer shall maintain a list of vehicle emission types being part of a given PEMS test family on the basis of emission type approval numbers. |
|
6.5.4. |
The granting approval authority and the vehicle manufacturer shall maintain a list of vehicle emission types selected for PEMS testing in order to validate a PEMS test family in accordance with paragraph 6.4., which also provides the necessary information on how the selection criteria of paragraph 6.4.3 are covered. This list shall also indicate whether the provisions of paragraph 6.4.1.3. were applied for a particular PEMS test. |
6.6. Rounding requirements:
Rounding of data in the data exchange file, as defined in paragraph 10. of Annex 7, is not permitted. In the pre-processing file, the data may be rounded to the same order of magnitude of the accuracy of the measurement of a respective parameter.
The intermediate and final emission test results, as calculated in Annex 11, shall be rounded in one step to the number of places to the right of the decimal point indicated by the applicable emission standard plus one additional significant figure. Preceding steps in the calculations shall not be rounded.
7. Performance requirements for instrumentation
The instrumentation used for RDE tests shall comply with the requirements as defined in Annex 5. If requested by the authorities, the tester shall provide proof that the instrumentation used complies with the requirements in Annex 5.
8. Test conditions
Only an RDE test fulfilling the requirements of this Section shall be accepted as valid. Tests performed outside the test conditions specified in this Section shall be considered as invalid, unless specified otherwise.
8.1. Ambient conditions
The test shall be conducted under the ambient conditions laid down in this section. The ambient conditions become ‘extended’ when at least one of the temperature or altitude conditions is extended. The factor for extended conditions as defined in paragraph 10.5. shall only be applied once even if both conditions are extended in the same time period. Notwithstanding the opening paragraph of this section, if a part of the test or the entire test is performed outside of extended conditions, the test shall be invalid only when final emissions as calculated in Annex 11, are greater than the applicable emission limits. The conditions are as follows:
|
Moderate altitude conditions |
Altitude lower or equal to 700 meters above sea level. |
|
Extended altitude conditions |
Altitude higher than 700 meters above sea level and lower or equal to 1 300 meters above sea level. |
|
Moderate temperature conditions |
Greater than or equal to 273,15 K (0 °C) and lower than or equal to 308,15 K (35 °C). |
|
Extended temperature conditions |
Greater than or equal to 266,15 K (– 7 °C) and lower than 273,15 K (0 °C) or greater than 308,15 K (35 °C) and lower than or equal to 311,15 K (38 °C). |
8.2. Dynamic conditions of trip
The dynamic conditions encompass the effect of road grade, head wind and driving dynamics (accelerations, decelerations) and auxiliary systems upon energy consumption and emissions of the test vehicle. The validity of the trip for the dynamic conditions shall be checked after the test is completed, using the recorded data. This verification shall be conducted in 2 steps:
|
— |
STEP i: The excess or insufficiency of driving dynamics during the trip shall be checked using the methods described in Annex 9. |
|
— |
STEP ii: If the trip is valid following the verifications in accordance with STEP i, the methods for verifying the validity of the trip as laid down in Annexes 8 and 10 shall be applied. |
8.3. Vehicle condition and operation
|
8.3.1. |
Vehicle condition
The vehicle, including the emission related components, shall be in good mechanical condition and shall have been run in and driven at least 3 000 km before the test. The mileage and the age of the vehicle used for RDE testing shall be recorded. All vehicles, and in particular OVC-HEVs vehicles may be tested in any selectable mode, including battery charge mode. On the basis of technical evidence provided by the manufacturer and with the agreement of the responsible authority, the dedicated driver-selectable modes for very special limited purposes shall not be considered (e.g. maintenance mode, race driving, crawler mode). All remaining modes used for forward and for rearwards driving where road and traffic conditions demand this may be considered and the criteria emissions limits shall be fulfilled in all these modes. Modifications that affect the vehicle aerodynamics are not permitted, with the exception of the PEMS installation. The tyre types and pressure shall be according to the vehicle's manufacturer recommendations. The tyre pressure shall be checked prior to the pre-conditioning and adjusted to the recommended values if needed. Driving the vehicle with snow chains is not permitted. Vehicles should not be tested with an empty starter battery. In case the vehicle has problems starting, the battery shall be replaced following the recommendations of the vehicle's manufacturer. The vehicle's test mass comprises of the driver, a witness of the test (if applicable), the test equipment, including the mounting and the power supply devices and any artificial payload. It shall be between the actual mass of the vehicle and the maximum permissible test mass of the vehicle at the beginning of the test and shall not increase during the test. The test vehicles shall not be driven with the intention to generate a passed or failed test due to extreme driving that do not represent normal conditions of use. If necessary, verification of normal driving may be based on expert judgement made by or on behalf of the granting type approval authority through cross-correlation on several signals, which may include exhaust flow rate, exhaust temperature, CO2, O2 etc. in combination with vehicle speed, acceleration and GNSS data and potentially further vehicle data parameters like engine speed, gear, accelerator pedal position etc. |
|
8.3.2. |
Vehicle conditioning for cold start PEMS trip
Before RDE testing, the vehicle shall be preconditioned in the following way: The vehicle shall be driven, preferably on the same route as the planned RDE testing, or for at least 10 min per type of operation (e.g. urban, rural, motorway) or 30 minutes with a minimum average speed of 30 km/h. The validation test in the laboratory, as in paragraph 8.4., also counts as preconditioning. The vehicle shall subsequently be parked with doors and bonnet closed and kept in engine-off status within moderate or extended altitude and temperatures, in accordance with paragraph 8.1., for between 6 and 72 hours. Exposure to extreme atmospheric conditions (such as heavy snowfall, storm, hail) and excessive amounts of dust or smoke should be avoided. Before the test start, the vehicle and equipment shall be checked for damages and the presence of warning signals that may suggest malfunctioning. In the case of a malfunction the source of the malfunctioning shall be identified and corrected or the vehicle shall be rejected. |
|
8.3.3. |
Auxiliary devices
The air conditioning system or other auxiliary devices shall be operated in a way which corresponds to their typically intended use during real driving on the road. Any use shall be documented. The vehicle windows shall be closed when the air conditioning or heating are used. |
|
8.3.4. |
Vehicles equipped with periodically regenerating systems |
|
8.3.4.1. |
All results shall be corrected with the Ki factors or with the Ki offsets developed by the procedures in Appendix 1 to Annex B6 of UN Regulation No. 154 on WLTP for type-approval of a vehicle type with a periodically regenerating system. The Ki factor or the Ki offset shall be applied to the final results after evaluation in accordance with Annex 11. |
|
8.3.4.2. |
If the final emissions as calculated in Annex 11 are above the applicable emission limits, then the occurrence of regeneration shall be verified. The verification of a regeneration may be based on expert judgement through cross-correlation of several of the following signals, which may include exhaust temperature, PN, CO2, O2 measurements in combination with vehicle speed and acceleration. If the vehicle has a regeneration recognition feature, it shall be used to determine the occurrence of regeneration. The manufacturer may advise how to recognise whether regeneration has taken place in case such a signal is not available. |
|
8.3.4.3. |
If regeneration occurred during the test, the final emission result without the application of either the Ki -factor or the Ki offset shall be checked against applicable emission limits. If the final emissions are above the emission limits, then the test shall be invalid and repeated once. The completion of the regeneration and stabilisation, through approximately 1 hour of driving, shall be done prior to the start of the second test. The second test is considered valid even if regeneration occurs during it.
Even if the final emission results fall below the applicable emission limits, the occurrence of regeneration may be verified as in paragraph 8.3.4.2. If the presence of regeneration can be proved and with the agreement of the Type Approval Authority, the final results shall be calculated without the application of either the Ki factor or the Ki offset. |
|
8.4. |
PEMS operational requirements
The trip shall be selected in such a way that the testing is uninterrupted and the data continuously recorded to reach the minimum test duration defined in paragraph 9.3.3. Electrical power shall be supplied to the PEMS by an external power supply unit and not from a source that draws its energy either directly or indirectly from the engine of the test vehicle. The installation of the PEMS equipment shall be done in a way to minimise the influence on the vehicle’s emissions or performance or both to the greatest extent possible. Care should be exercised to minimise the mass of the installed equipment and potential aerodynamic modifications of the test vehicle. During type approval, a validation test in the laboratory shall be performed before running an RDE test according to Annex 6. For OVC-HEV the applicable WLTP test shall be conducted in Charge Sustaining vehicle operation. |
8.5. Lubricating oil, fuel and reagent
For the test performed during type approval, the fuel used for RDE testing shall be either the reference fuel defined in Annex B3 of UN Regulation No. 154 on WLTP or within the specifications issued by the manufacturer for vehicle operation by the customer. The reagent (where applicable) and lubricant used shall be within the specifications recommended or issued by the manufacturer.
9. Test procedure
9.1. Types of speed bins
Urban speed bin (for both 3-phase and 4-phase analysis) is characterised by vehicle speeds lower than or equal to 60 km/h.
Rural speed bin (for 4-phase analysis) is characterised by vehicle speeds higher than 60 km/h and lower than or equal to 90 km/h. For those vehicles that are equipped with a device permanently limiting vehicle speed to 90 km/h, rural speed bin is characterised by vehicle speed higher than 60 km/h and lower than or equal to 80 km/h.
Motorway speed bin (for 4-phase analysis) is characterised by speeds above 90 km/h.
For those vehicles that are equipped with a device permanently limiting vehicle speed to 100 km/h, the motorway speed bin is characterised by a speed higher than 90 km/h.

Expressway speed bin (for 3-phase analysis) is characterised by speeds above 60 km/h and up to 100 km/h.
A complete trip for 4-phase analysis consists of urban, rural and motorway bins whereby a complete trip for 3-phase analysis consists of urban and expressway bins.
|
9.1.1. |
Other requirements
The average speed (including stops) of the urban speed bin shall be between 15 and 40 km/h. The speed range of the motorway driving shall properly cover a range between 90 and at least 110 km/h. The vehicle’s speed shall be above 100 km/h for at least 5 minutes. For M2 category vehicles that are equipped with a device permanently limiting vehicle speed to 100 km/h, the speed range of the motorway speed bin shall properly cover a range between 90 and 100 km/h. The vehicle’s speed shall be above 90 km/h for at least 5 minutes. For those vehicles that are equipped with a device limiting vehicle speed to 90 km/h, the speed range of the motorway speed bin shall properly cover a range between 80 and 90 km/h. The vehicle’s speed shall be above 80 km/h for at least 5 minutes. In the case that the local speed limits for the specific vehicle being tested prevent compliance with the requirements of this paragraph, the requirements of the following paragraph shall apply: The speed range of the motorway driving shall properly cover a range between X – 10 and X km/h. The vehicle’s speed shall be above X - 10 km/h for at least 5 minutes. Where X = the local speed limit for the tested vehicle. |
9.2. Required distance shares of trip speed bins
The following is the distribution of the speed bins in an RDE trip that are required for respecting the needs of evaluation for both the 4-phase WLTC and 3-phase WLTC:
|
Requirements for evaluation with 4-Phase WLTC |
Requirements for evaluation with 3-Phase WLTC |
|
The trip shall consist of approximately 34 per cent urban, 33 per cent rural and 33 per cent motorway speed bins. ‘Approximately’ shall mean the interval of ±10 per cent points around the stated percentages. The urban speed bin shall however never be less than 29 per cent of the total trip distance. |
The trip shall consist of approximately 55 per cent urban and 45 per cent expressway speed bins. ‘Approximately’ shall mean the interval of ±10 per cent points around the stated percentages. The urban speed bin however can be lower than 45 per cent but never be less than 40 per cent of the total trip distance. |
The shares of urban, rural and motorway speed bins shall be expressed as a percentage of the total trip distance for analysis with 4-Phase WLTC.
The shares of urban and expressway speed bins shall be expressed as a percentage of the trip distance with speed not exceeding 100km/h for analysis with 3-Phase WLTC.
The minimum distance of each, urban, rural and motorway or expressway speed bins shall be 16 km.
9.3. RDE test to be performed
The RDE performance shall be demonstrated by testing vehicles on the road, operated over their normal driving patterns, conditions and payloads. RDE tests shall be conducted on paved roads (e.g. off-road operation is not permitted). Either a single RDE trip or two dedicated RDE trips shall be driven in order to prove compliance with the emission requirements against both 3-Phase WLTC and 4-Phase WLTC.
|
9.3.1. |
The design of the trip shall be such as to comprise driving that would in principle cover all of the required shares of speed bins in paragraph 9.2 and comply with all other requirements described in paragraphs 9.1.1. and 9.3, paragraphs 4.5.1. and 4.5.2. of Annex 8 and paragraph 4. of Annex 9. |
|
9.3.2. |
The planned RDE trip shall always start with urban operation followed by rural, then motorway or expressway operation, in accordance with the required shares for speed bins in paragraph 9.2. The urban, rural and motorway/expressway operation shall be run consecutively, but may also include a trip which starts and ends at the same point. Rural operation may be interrupted by short periods of urban speed bin when driving through urban areas. Motorway/expressway operation may be interrupted by short periods of urban or rural speed bins, e.g., when passing toll stations or sections of road work. |
|
9.3.3. |
The vehicle speed shall normally not exceed 145 km/h. This maximum speed may be exceeded by a tolerance of 15 km/h for not more than 3 per cent of the time duration of the motorway operation. Local speed limits remain in force during a PEMS test, notwithstanding other legal consequences. Violations of local speed limits per se do not invalidate the results of a PEMS test.
Stop periods, defined by vehicle speed of less than 1 km/h, shall account for 6-30 per cent of the time duration of urban operation. Urban operation may contain several stop periods of 10 s or longer. If stop periods in urban driving part are over 30 per cent or there are individual stop periods exceeding 300 consecutive seconds, the test shall be invalid only if the emission limits are not met. The trip duration shall be between 90 and 120 minutes. The start and the end points of a trip shall not differ in their elevation above sea level by more than 100 m. In addition, the proportional cumulative positive altitude gain over the entire trip and over the urban operation shall be less than 1 200 m/100 km and be determined in accordance with Annex 10. |
|
9.3.4. |
The average speed (including stops) during cold start period shall be between 15 and 40 km/h. The maximum speed during the cold start period shall not exceed 60 km/h.
At the test start, the vehicle shall move within 15 seconds. The vehicle stop periods during the entire cold start period, as defined in paragraph 3.6.1., shall be kept to the minimum possible and it shall not exceed 90 s in total. |
9.4. Other trip requirements
If the engine stalls during the test, it may be restarted, but the sampling and data recording shall not be interrupted. If the engine stops during the test, the sampling and data recording shall not be interrupted.
In general the exhaust mass flow shall be determined by measurement equipment functioning independently from the vehicle. With agreement of the approval authority, vehicle ECU data may be used in this respect during type approval.
If the approval authority is not satisfied with the data quality check and validation results of a PEMS test conducted in accordance with Annex 4, the approval authority may consider the test to be invalid. In such case, the test data and the reasons for invalidating the test shall be recorded by the approval authority.
The manufacturer shall demonstrate to the approval authority that the chosen vehicle, driving patterns, conditions and payloads are representative of the PEMS test family. The ambient conditions and payload requirements, as specified in paragraph 8.1. and paragraph 8.3.1. respectively, shall be used ex-ante to determine whether the conditions are acceptable for RDE testing.
The approval authority shall propose a test trip in urban, rural and motorway/expressway operation meeting the requirements of paragraph 9.2. If applicable, for the purpose of trip design, the urban, rural and motorway/expressway parts shall be selected based on a topographic map.
If for a vehicle the collection of ECU data influences the vehicle's emissions or performance, the entire PEMS test family to which the vehicle belongs shall be considered as non-compliant.
For RDE tests performed during type approval, the type approval authority may verify if the test setup and the equipment used fulfil the requirements of Annexes 4 and 5 through a direct inspection or an analysis of the supporting evidence (e.g. photographs, records).
9.5. Compliance of software tools
Any software tool used to verify the trip validity and calculate emissions compliance with the provisions laid down in paragraphs 8 and 9 and Annexes 8, 9 10 and 11 shall be validated by an entity defined by the Contracting Party. Where such software tool is incorporated in the PEMS instrument, proof of the validation shall be provided along with the instrument.
10. Test data analysis
|
10.1. |
Emissions and trip evaluation
The test shall be conducted in accordance with Annex 4. |
|
10.2. |
The trip validity shall be assessed in a three-step procedure as follows:
STEP A: The trip complies with the general requirements, boundary conditions, trip and operational requirements, and the specifications for lubricating oil, fuel and reagents set out in paragraphs 8 and 9 and Annex 10. STEP B: The trip complies with the requirements set out in Annex 9. STEP C: The trip complies with the requirements set out in Annex 8. The steps of the procedure are detailed in Figure 6. If at least one of the requirements is not fulfilled, the trip shall be declared invalid. |
Figure 6
Assessment of trip validity – schematic
(i.e. not all details are included in the steps included in the figure, see the relevant annexes for such details)
|
10.3. |
In order to preserve data integrity, it shall not be permitted to combine data of different RDE trips in a single data set or to modify or remove data from an RDE trip, except for cases mentioned explicitly in this Regulation. |
|
10.4. |
Emission results shall be calculated using the methods laid down in Annex 7 and Annex 11. The emissions calculations shall be made between test start and test end. |
|
10.5. |
The extended factor for this Regulation is set at 1.6. If during a particular time interval the ambient conditions are extended, in accordance with paragraph 8.1., then the criteria emissions calculated according to Annex 11, during that particular time interval, shall be divided by the extended factor. This provision does not apply to carbon dioxide emissions. |
|
10.6. |
Gaseous pollutant and particle number emissions during the cold start period, as defined in paragraph 3.6.1., shall be included in the normal evaluation in accordance with Annexes 7, 8 and 11.
If the vehicle was conditioned for the last three hours prior to the test at an average temperature that falls within the extended range in accordance with paragraph 8.1., then the provisions of paragraph 10.5. apply to the data collected during the cold start period, even if the test ambient conditions are not within the extended temperature range. |
|
10.7. |
Where applicable, separate data-sets shall be created for 3-phase and 4-phase evaluation. The data collected during the entire trip shall be the basis of the 4-phase RDE emission results, while the data with the exclusion of any data point with speed above 100 km/h shall be the basis of the 3-phase RDE trip validity and emission results calculations according to paragraphs 8 and 9 and Annexes 8, 9 and 11. For data analysis continuity Annex 10 will begin with the entire data set for both analyses. |
|
10.7.1. |
In the case that a single RDE trip is not capable of complying with all validity requirements described in paragraphs 9.1.1., 9.2. and 9.3., paragraphs 4.5.1. and 4.5.2. of Annex 8 and paragraph 4. of Annex 9 simultaneously, then a second RDE trip shall be done. The second trip shall be designed to meet either the 3-phase or 4-phase WLTC trip requirements not yet satisfied, as well as all other relevant trip validity requirements, but it is not necessary to satisfy again the 4-phase or 3-phase WLTC trip requirements previously met by the first trip. |
|
10.7.2. |
In case the emission calculated for the 3-phase RDE trip exceed the emission limits for the total trip due to the exclusion of all data points with speed above 100 km/h even though the trip is compliant, then a second trip with the speed limited to less than or equal to 100 km/h shall be made and evaluated for compliance with the 3-phase requirements. |
|
10.8. |
Data Reporting: All data of a single RDE test shall be recorded according to the data reporting files found in the same weblink as this Regulation (5).
A test report shall be prepared by the Technical Service in accordance with the Data Reporting File and shall be made available to the Contracting Party. |
11. Modifications and extensions to type approval
|
11.1. |
Every modification of a vehicle emission type shall be notified to the Type Approval Authority that approved the vehicle type. The Type Approval Authority may then either: |
|
11.1.1. |
Consider that the modifications made are contained within the families covered by the approval or are unlikely to have an appreciable adverse effect on the values of any of the criteria emissions and that, in this case, the original approval will be valid for the modified vehicle type; or |
|
11.1.2. |
Require a further test report from the Technical Service responsible for conducting the tests. |
|
11.2. |
Confirmation or refusal of approval, specifying the alterations, shall be communicated by the procedure specified in paragraph 5.3. to the Contracting Parties to the Agreement which apply this Regulation. |
|
11.3. |
The Type Approval Authority issuing the extension of approval shall assign a series number to the extension and inform thereof the other Contracting Parties to the 1958 Agreement applying this Regulation by means of a communication form conforming to the model in Annex 2 to this Regulation. |
|
11.4. |
Extension of a PEMS test family
An existing PEMS test family may be extended by adding new vehicle emission types to it. The extended PEMS test family and its validation must also fulfil the requirements of paragraphs 6.3. and 6.4. This may require the PEMS testing of additional vehicles to validate the extended PEMS test family according to paragraph 6.4. |
12. Conformity of production
|
12.1. |
The conformity of production requirements relating to light duty vehicle emissions are already covered by the rules specified in paragraph 8 of UN Regulation No. 154 on WLTP and therefore compliance with the conformity of production requirements of UN Regulation No. 154 can be considered as sufficient to cover the conformity of production requirements for vehicles type approved under this Regulation. |
|
12.2. |
In addition to the provisions in paragraph 12.1. the manufacturer shall ensure that all vehicles within the PEMS test family are compliant with the Type 1 conformity of production requirements of UN Regulation No. 154 on WLTP. |
13. Penalties for non-conformity of production
|
13.1. |
The approval granted in respect of a vehicle type pursuant to this Regulation, may be withdrawn if the requirements of this Regulation are not complied with. |
|
13.2. |
If a Contracting Party to the 1958 Agreement which applies this Regulation withdraws an approval it has previously granted, it shall forthwith so notify the other Contracting Parties applying this Regulation, by means of a communication form conforming to the model in Annex 2 to this Regulation. |
14. Production definitively discontinued
|
14.1. |
If the holder of the approval completely ceases to manufacture a type of vehicle approved in accordance with this Regulation, they shall so inform the Type Approval Authority which granted the approval. Upon receiving the relevant communication, that authority shall inform thereof the other Contracting Parties to the 1958 Agreement applying this Regulation by means of copies of the communication form conforming to the model in Annex 2 to this Regulation. |
15. Transitional provisions
|
15.1. |
As from the official date of entry into force of the 00 series of amendments to this Regulation, and by way of derogation to the obligations of Contracting Parties, the Contracting Parties applying this Regulation and also applying the 08 or a later series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 83 may refuse to accept type approvals granted on the basis of this Regulation which are not accompanied by an approval to the 08 or a later series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 83. |
16. Names and addresses of the Technical Services responsible for conducting approval tests and of Type Approval Authorities
|
16.1. |
The Contracting Parties to the 1958 Agreement which apply this Regulation shall communicate to the United Nations Secretariat the names and addresses of the Technical Services responsible for conducting approval tests and of the Type Approval Authorities which grant approval and to which forms certifying approval or extension or refusal or withdrawal of approval, issued in other countries, are to be sent. |

3.4. Installation of PEMS
3.4.1. General:
The installation of the PEMS shall follow the instructions of the PEMS manufacturer and the local health and safety regulations. When the PEMS is installed inside the vehicle, the vehicle should be equipped with gas monitors or warning systems for hazardous gases (e.g. CO). The PEMS should be installed as to minimise electromagnetic interferences during the test as well as exposure to shocks, vibration, dust and variability in temperature. The installation and operation of the PEMS shall be such that it avoids leakage and minimise heat loss. The installation and operation of PEMS shall not change the nature of the exhaust gas nor unduly increase the length of the tailpipe. To avoid the generation of particles, connectors shall be thermally stable at the exhaust gas temperatures expected during the test. It is recommended to avoid the use elastomer connectors to connect the vehicle exhaust outlet and the connecting tube. Elastomer connectors, if used, shall have no contact with the exhaust gas to avoid artefacts. If the test performed with the use of elastomer connectors fails, the test shall be repeated without the use of elastomer connectors.
3.4.2. Permissible backpressure
The installation and operation of the PEMS sampling probes shall not unduly increase the pressure at the exhaust outlet in a way that may influence the representativeness of the measurements. It is thus recommended that only one sampling probe is installed in the same plane. If technically feasible, any extension to facilitate the sampling or connection with the exhaust mass flow meter shall have an equivalent, or larger, cross sectional area than the exhaust pipe.
3.4.3. Exhaust mass flow meter
Whenever used, the exhaust mass flow meter shall be attached to the vehicle’s tailpipe(s) in accordance with the recommendations of the EFM manufacturer. The measurement range of the EFM shall match the range of the exhaust mass flow rate expected during the test. It is recommended to select the EFM so that the maximum expected flow rate during the test reaches at least 75 per cent of the EFM full range but does not exceed the EFM full range. The installation of the EFM and any exhaust pipe adaptors or junctions shall not adversely affect the operation of the engine or exhaust after-treatment system. A minimum of four pipe diameters or 150 mm of straight tubing, whichever is larger, shall be placed at either side of the flow-sensing element. When testing a multi-cylinder engine with a branched exhaust manifold, it is recommended to position the exhaust mass flow meter downstream of where the manifolds combine and to increase the cross section of the piping such as to have an equivalent, or larger, cross sectional area from which to sample. If this is not feasible, exhaust flow measurements with several exhaust mass flow meters may be used. The wide variety of exhaust pipe configurations, dimensions and exhaust mass flow rates may require compromises, guided by good engineering judgement, when selecting and installing the EFM(s). It is permissible to install an EFM with a diameter smaller than that of the exhaust outlet or the total cross-sectional area of multiple outlets, providing it improves measurement accuracy and does not adversely affect the operation or the exhaust after-treatment as specified in paragraph 3.4.2. It is recommended to document the EFM set-up using photographs.
3.4.4. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)
The GNSS antenna shall be mounted as near as possible to the highest location on the vehicle, so as to ensure good reception of the satellite signal. The mounted GNSS antenna shall interfere as little as possible with the vehicle operation.
3.4.5. Connection with the Engine Control Unit (ECU)
If desired, relevant vehicle and engine parameters listed in Table A4/1 can be recorded by using a data logger connected with the ECU or the vehicle network through national or international standards, such as ISO 15031-5 or SAE J1979, OBD-II, EOBD or WWH-OBD. If applicable, manufacturers shall disclose labels to allow the identification of required parameters.
3.4.6. Sensors and auxiliary devices
Vehicle speed sensors, temperature sensors, coolant thermocouples or any other measurement device not part of the vehicle shall be installed to measure the parameter under consideration in a representative, reliable and accurate manner without unduly interfering with the vehicle operation and the functioning of other analysers, flow-measuring instruments, sensors and signals. Sensors and auxiliary equipment shall be powered independently of the vehicle. It is permitted to power any safety-related illumination of fixtures and installations of PEMS components outside of the vehicle’s cabin by the vehicle’s battery.
3.5. Emissions sampling
Emissions sampling shall be representative and conducted at locations of well-mixed exhaust, where the influence of ambient air downstream of the sampling point is minimal. If applicable, emissions shall be sampled downstream of the exhaust mass flow meter, respecting a distance of at least 150 mm to the flow sensing element. The sampling probes shall be fitted at least 200 mm or three times the inner diameter of the exhaust pipe, whichever is larger, upstream of the point at which the exhaust gas exits the PEMS sampling installation into the environment.
If the PEMS feeds part of the sample back to the exhaust flow, this shall occur downstream of the sampling probe in a manner that does not affect the nature of the exhaust gas at the sampling point(s). If the length of the sampling line is changed, the system transport times shall be verified and, if necessary, corrected. If the vehicle is equipped with more than one tailpipe then all functioning tailpipes shall be connected before sampling and measuring exhaust flow.
If the engine is equipped with an exhaust after-treatment system, the exhaust sample shall be taken downstream of the exhaust after-treatment system. When testing a vehicle with a branched exhaust manifold, the inlet of the sampling probe shall be located sufficiently far downstream so as to ensure that the sample is representative of the average exhaust emissions of all cylinders. In multi-cylinder engines, having distinct groups of manifolds, such as in a ‘V’ engine configuration, the sampling probe shall be positioned downstream of where the manifolds combine. If this is technically not feasible, multi-point sampling at locations of well-mixed exhaust may be used. In this case, the number and location of sampling probes shall match as far as possible those of the exhaust mass flow meters. In case of unequal exhaust flows, proportional sampling or sampling with multiple analysers shall be considered.
If particles are measured, they shall be sampled from the centre of the exhaust stream. If several probes are used for emissions sampling, the particle sampling probe should be placed upstream of the other sampling probes. The particle sampling probe should not interfere with the sampling of gaseous pollutants. The type and specifications of the probe and its mounting shall be documented in detail (e.g. L type or 45° cut, internal diameter, with or without hat, etc).
If hydrocarbons are measured, the sampling line shall be heated to 463 ± 10 K (190 ± 10 °C). For the measurement of other gaseous components, with or without cooler, the sampling line shall be kept at a minimum of 333 K (60 °C) to avoid condensation and to ensure appropriate penetration efficiencies of the various gases. For low pressure sampling systems, the temperature can be lowered correspondingly to the pressure decrease provided that the sampling system ensures a penetration efficiency of 95 per cent for all regulated gaseous pollutants. If particles are sampled and not diluted at the tailpipe, the sampling line from the raw exhaust sample point to the point of dilution or particle detector shall be heated to a minimum of 373 K (100 °C). The residence time of the sample in the particle sampling line shall be less than 3 s until reaching first dilution or the particle detector.
All parts of the sampling system from the tailpipe up to the particle detector, which are in contact with raw or diluted exhaust gas, shall be designed to minimize deposition of particles. All parts shall be made from antistatic material to prevent electrostatic effects.
4. Pre-test procedures
4.1. PEMS leak check
After the installation of the PEMS is completed, a leak check shall be performed at least once for each PEMS-vehicle installation as prescribed by the PEMS manufacturer or as follows. The probe shall be disconnected from the exhaust system and the end plugged. The analyser pump shall be switched on. After an initial stabilization period, all flow meters shall read approximately zero in the absence of a leak. If this is not the case the sampling lines shall be checked and the fault shall be corrected.
The leakage rate on the vacuum side shall not exceed 0,5 per cent of the in-use flow rate for the portion of the system being checked. The analyser flows and bypass flows may be used to estimate the in-use flow rate.
Alternatively, the system may be evacuated to a pressure of at least 20 kPa vacuum (80 kPa absolute). After an initial stabilization period the pressure increase Δp (kPa/min) in the system shall not exceed:
where:
|
pe |
is the evacuated pressure [Pa], |
|
Vs |
is the system volume [l], |
|
qvs |
is the volume flow rate of the system [l/min]. |
Alternatively, a concentration step change at the beginning of the sampling line shall be introduced by switching from zero to span gas while maintaining the same pressure conditions as under normal system operation. If for a correctly calibrated analyser after an adequate period of time the reading is ≤ 99 per cent compared to the introduced concentration, the leakage problem shall be corrected.
4.2. Starting and stabilizing the PEMS
The PEMS shall be switched on, warmed up and stabilized in accordance with the specifications of the PEMS manufacturer until key functional parameters (e.g., pressures, temperatures and flows) have reached their operating set points before test start. To ensure correct functioning, the PEMS may be kept switched on or can be warmed up and stabilized during vehicle conditioning. The system shall be free of errors and critical warnings.
4.3. Preparing the sampling system
The sampling system, consisting of the sampling probe and sampling lines shall be prepared for testing by following the instruction of the PEMS manufacturer. It shall be ensured that the sampling system is clean and free of moisture condensation.
4.4. Preparing the Exhaust mass Flow Meter (EFM)
If used for measuring the exhaust mass flow, the EFM shall be purged and prepared for operation in accordance with the specifications of the EFM manufacturer. This procedure shall, if applicable, remove condensation and deposits from the lines and the associated measurement ports.
4.5. Checking and calibrating the analysers for measuring gaseous emissions
Zero and span calibration adjustments of the analysers shall be performed using calibration gases that meet the requirements of paragraph 5. of Annex 5. The calibration gases shall be chosen to match the range of pollutant concentrations expected during the RDE test. To minimise analyser drift, it is recommended to conduct the zero and span calibration of analysers at an ambient temperature that resembles, as closely as possible, the temperature experienced by the test equipment during the trip.
4.6. Checking the analyser for measuring particle emissions
The zero level of the analyser shall be recorded by sampling HEPA filtered ambient air at an appropriate sampling point, ideally at the inlet of the sampling line. The signal shall be recorded at a constant frequency which is a multiple of 1,0 Hz averaged over a period of 2 minutes. The final concentration shall be within the manufacturer’s specifications, but shall not exceed 5 000 particles per cubic-centimetre.
4.7. Determining vehicle speed
Vehicle speed shall be determined by at least one of the following methods:
|
(a) |
A sensor (e.g., optical or micro-wave sensor); if vehicle speed is determined by a sensor, the speed measurements shall comply with the requirements of paragraph 8. of Annex 5, or alternatively, the total trip distance determined by the sensor shall be compared with a reference distance obtained from a digital road network or topographic map. The total trip distance determined by the sensor shall deviate by no more than 4 per cent from the reference distance. |
|
(b) |
The ECU; if vehicle speed is determined by the ECU, the total trip distance shall be validated according to paragraph 3. of Annex 6 and the ECU speed signal adjusted, if necessary, to fulfil the requirements of paragraph 3. of Annex 6. Alternatively, the total trip distance as determined by the ECU can be compared with a reference distance obtained from a digital road network or topographic map. The total trip distance determined by the ECU shall deviate by no more than 4 per cent from the reference distance. |
|
(c) |
A GNSS; if vehicle speed is determined by a GNSS, the total trip distance shall be checked against the measurements of another method according to paragraph 6.5. of Annex 4. |
4.8. Check of PEMS set up
The correctness of connections with all sensors and, if applicable, the ECU shall be verified. If engine parameters are retrieved, it shall be ensured that the ECU reports values correctly (e.g., zero engine speed [rpm] while the combustion engine is in key-on-engine-off status). The PEMS shall function free of errors and critical warnings.
5. Emissions test
5.1. Test start
Sampling, measurement and recording of parameters shall begin prior to the test start (as defined in paragraph 3.8.5. of this Regulation). Before the test start it shall be confirmed that all necessary parameters are recorded by the data logger.
To facilitate time alignment, it is recommended to record the parameters that are subject to time alignment either by a single data recording device or with a synchronised time stamp.
5.2. Test
Sampling, measurement and recording of parameters shall continue throughout the on-road test of the vehicle. The engine may be stopped and started, but emissions sampling and parameter recording shall continue. Repeated stalling of the engine (i.e. unintentional stopping of the engine) should be avoided during an RDE trip. Any warning signals, suggesting malfunctioning of the PEMS, shall be documented and verified. If any error signal(s) appear during the test, the test shall be invalid. Parameter recording shall reach a data completeness of higher than 99 per cent. Measurement and data recording may be interrupted for less than 1 per cent of the total trip duration but for no more than a consecutive period of 30 s solely in the case of unintended signal loss or for the purpose of PEMS system maintenance. Interruptions may be recorded directly by the PEMS but it is not permissible to introduce interruptions in the recorded parameter via the pre-processing, exchange or post-processing of data. If conducted, auto zeroing shall be performed against a traceable zero standard similar to the one used to zero the analyser. It is strongly recommended to initiate PEMS system maintenance during periods of zero vehicle speed.
5.3. Test end
Excessive idling of the engine after the completion of the trip shall be avoided. The data recording shall continue after the test end (as defined in paragraph 3.8.6. of this Regulation) and until the response time of the sampling systems has elapsed. For vehicles with a signal detecting regeneration, the OBD-check shall be performed and documented directly after data recording and before any further driven distance is driven.
6. Post-test procedure
6.1. Checking the analysers for measuring gaseous emissions
The zero and span of the analysers of gaseous components shall be checked by using calibration gases identical to the ones applied under paragraph 4.5. to evaluate the analyser's zero and response drift compared to the pre-test calibration. It is permissible to zero the analyser prior to verifying the span drift, if the zero drift was determined to be within the permissible range. The post-test drift check shall be completed as soon as possible after the test and before the PEMS, or individual analysers or sensors, are turned off or have switched into a non-operating mode. The difference between the pre-test and post-test results shall comply with the requirements specified in Table A4/2.
Table A4/2
Permissible analyser drift over a PEMS test
|
Pollutant |
Absolute Zero response drift |
Absolute Span response drift (10) |
|
CO2 |
≤ 2 000 ppm per test |
≤ 2 % of reading or ≤ 2 000 ppm per test, whichever is larger |
|
CO |
≤ 75 ppm per test |
≤ 2 % of reading or ≤ 75 ppm per test, whichever is larger |
|
NOX |
≤ 3 ppm per test |
≤ 2 % of reading or ≤ 3 ppm per test, whichever is larger |

≤ 2 % of reading or ≤ 10 ppm C1 per test, whichever is larger |
|
THC |
≤ 10 ppm C1 per test |
≤ 2 % of reading or ≤ 10 ppm C1 per test, whichever is larger |
If the difference between the pre-test and post-test results for the zero and span drift is higher than permitted, all test results shall be invalid and the test repeated.
6.2. Checking the analyser for measuring particle emissions
The zero level of the analyser shall be recorded in accordance with paragraph 4.6.
6.3. Checking the on-road emission measurements
The span gas concentration that was used for the calibration of the analysers in accordance with paragraph 4.5. at the test start shall cover at least 90 per cent of the concentration values obtained from 99 per cent of the measurements of the valid parts of the emissions test. It is permissible that 1 per cent of the total number of measurements used for evaluation exceeds the concentration of the span gas used by up to a factor of two. If these requirements are not met, the test shall be invalid.
6.4. Consistency check of vehicle altitude
In case altitude has only been measured with a GNSS, the GNSS altitude data shall be checked for consistency and, if necessary, corrected. The consistency of data shall be checked by comparing the latitude, longitude and altitude data obtained from the GNSS with the altitude indicated by a digital terrain model or a topographic map of suitable scale. Measurements that deviate by more than 40 m from the altitude depicted in the topographic map shall be manually corrected. The original and uncorrected data shall be retained and any corrected data shall be marked.
The instantaneous altitude data shall be checked for completeness. Data gaps shall be completed by data interpolation. The correctness of interpolated data shall be verified by a topographic map. It is recommended to correct interpolated data if the following condition applies:
The altitude correction shall be applied so that:
where:
|
h(t) |
— |
vehicle altitude after the screening and principle check of data quality at data point t [m above sea level] |
|
hGNSS(t) |
— |
vehicle altitude measured with GNSS at data point t [m above sea level] |
|
hmap(t) |
— |
vehicle altitude based on topographic map at data point t [m above sea level] |
6.5. Consistency check of GNSS vehicle speed
The vehicle speed as determined by the GNSS shall be checked for consistency by calculating and comparing the total trip distance with reference measurements obtained from either a sensor, the validated ECU or, alternatively, from a digital road network or topographic map. It is mandatory to correct GNSS data for obvious errors, e.g., by applying a dead reckoning sensor, prior to the consistency check. The original and uncorrected data shall be retained and any corrected data shall be marked. The corrected data shall not exceed an uninterrupted time period of 120 s or a total of 300 s. The total trip distance as calculated from the corrected GNSS data shall deviate by no more than 4 per cent from the reference. If the GNSS data do not meet these requirements and no other reliable speed source is available, the test shall be invalid.
6.6. Consistency check of the ambient temperature
The ambient temperature data shall be checked for consistency and inconsistent values corrected by substituting outliers with the average of the neighbouring values. The original and uncorrected data shall be retained and any corrected data shall be marked.
(1) Multiple parameter sources may be used.
(2) To be measured on a wet basis or to be corrected as described in paragraph 5.1. of Annex 7.
(3) Parameter only mandatory if measurement required for compliance with the limits.
(4) May be calculated from THC and CH4 concentrations according to paragraph 6.2. to Annex 7.
(5) May be calculated from measured NO and NO2 concentrations.
(6) Method to be chosen according to paragraph 4.7. of this annex.
(7) To be determined only if necessary to verify the vehicle status and operating conditions.
(8) The preferable source is the ambient pressure sensor.
(9) To be determined only if indirect methods are used to calculate exhaust mass flow rate as described in paragraphs 7.2. and 7.4. of Annex 7.
(10) If the zero drift is within the permissible range, it is permissible to zero the analyser prior to verifying the span drift.

3. Linearity verification
3.1. General
The accuracy and linearity of analysers, flow-measuring instruments, sensors and signals shall be traceable to international or national standards. Any sensors or signals that are not directly traceable (e.g., simplified flow-measuring instruments) shall be calibrated alternatively against chassis dynamometer laboratory equipment that has been calibrated against international or national standards.
3.2. Linearity requirements
All analysers, flow-measuring instruments, sensors and signals shall comply with the linearity requirements given in Table A5/1. If air flow, fuel flow, the air-to-fuel ratio or the exhaust mass flow rate is obtained from the ECU, the calculated exhaust mass flow rate shall meet the linearity requirements specified in Table A5/1.

3.3. Frequency of linearity verification
The linearity requirements pursuant to paragraph 3.2. shall be verified:
|
(a) |
For each gas analyser at least every 12 months or whenever a system repair or component change or modification is made that could influence the calibration; |
|
(b) |
For other relevant instruments, such as PN analysers, exhaust mass flow meters and traceably calibrated sensors, whenever damage is observed, as required by internal audit procedures or by the instrument manufacturer but no longer than one year before the actual test. |
The linearity requirements pursuant to paragraph 3.2. for sensors or ECU signals that are not directly traceable shall be performed using a measurement device with a traceable calibration on the chassis dynamometer, once for each PEMS-vehicle setup.
3.4. Procedure of linearity verification
3.4.1. General requirements
The relevant analysers, instruments and sensors shall be brought to their normal operating condition according to the recommendations of their manufacturer. The analysers, instruments and sensors shall be operated at their specified temperatures, pressures and flows.
3.4.2. General procedure
The linearity shall be verified for each normal operating range by executing the following steps:
|
(a) |
The analyser, flow-measuring instrument or sensor shall be set to zero by introducing a zero signal. For gas analysers, purified synthetic air or nitrogen shall be introduced to the analyser port via a gas path that is as direct and short as possible. |
|
(b) |
The analyser, flow-measuring instrument or sensor shall be spanned by introducing a span signal. For gas analysers, an appropriate span gas shall be introduced to the analyser port via a gas path that is as direct and short as possible. |
|
(c) |
The zero procedure of (a) shall be repeated. |
|
(d) |
The linearity shall be verified by introducing at least 10, approximately equally spaced and valid, reference values (including zero). The reference values with respect to the concentration of components, the exhaust mass flow rate or any other relevant parameter shall be chosen to match the range of values expected during the emissions test. For measurements of exhaust mass flow, reference points below 5 per cent of the maximum calibration value can be excluded from the linearity verification. |
|
(e) |
For gas analysers, known gas concentrations in accordance with paragraph 5. shall be introduced to the analyser port. Sufficient time for signal stabilisation shall be given. For particle number analysers, the particle number concentrations shall be at least two times the limit of detection (defined in paragraph 6.2.). |
|
(f) |
The values under evaluation and, if needed, the reference values shall be recorded at a constant frequency which is a multiple of 1,0 Hz over a period of 30 seconds (60 s for particle number analysers). |
|
(g) |
The arithmetic mean values over the 30 seconds (or 60 s) period shall be used to calculate the least squares linear regression parameters, with the best-fit equation having the form:
where:
The standard error of estimate (SEE) of y on x and the coefficient of determination (r 2) shall be calculated for each measurement parameter and system. |
|
(h) |
The linear regression parameters shall meet the requirements specified in Table A5/1. |
3.4.3. Requirements for linearity verification on a chassis dynamometer
Non-traceable flow-measuring instruments, sensors or ECU signals, that cannot directly be calibrated according to traceable standards, shall be calibrated on a chassis dynamometer. The procedure shall follow, as far as applicable, the requirements of UN Regulation No. 154 on WLTP. If necessary, the instrument or sensor to be calibrated shall be installed on the test vehicle and operated according to the requirements of Annex 4. The calibration procedure shall follow whenever possible the requirements of paragraph 3.4.2. At least 10 appropriate reference values shall be selected as to ensure that at least 90 per cent of the maximum value expected to occur during the RDE test is covered.
If a non-traceable flow-measuring instrument, sensor or ECU signal for determining exhaust flow is to be calibrated, a reference exhaust mass flow meter with traceable calibration or the CVS shall be attached to the vehicle’s tailpipe. It shall be ensured that the vehicle exhaust is accurately measured by the exhaust mass flow meter according to paragraph 3.4.3. of Annex 4. The vehicle shall be operated by applying constant throttle at a constant gear selection and chassis dynamometer load.
4. Analysers for measuring gaseous components
4.1. Permissible types of analysers
4.1.1. Standard analysers
The gaseous components shall be measured with analysers specified in paragraph 4.1.4., Annex B5 to UN Regulation No. 154 on WLTP. If an NDUV analyser measures both NO and NO2, a NO2/NO converter is not required.
4.1.2. Alternative analysers
Any analyser not meeting the design specifications of paragraph 4.1.1. is permissible provided that it fulfils the requirements of paragraph 4.2. The manufacturer shall ensure that the alternative analyser achieves an equivalent or higher measurement performance compared to a standard analyser over the range of pollutant concentrations and co-existing gases that can be expected from vehicles operated with permissible fuels under moderate and extended conditions of valid RDE testing as specified in paragraphs 5., 6. and 7. of this annex. Upon request, the manufacturer of the analyser shall submit in writing supplemental information, demonstrating that the measurement performance of the alternative analyser is consistently and reliably in line with the measurement performance of standard analysers. Supplemental information shall contain:
|
(a) |
A description of the theoretical basis and the technical components of the alternative analyser; |
|
(b) |
A demonstration of equivalency with the respective standard analyser specified in paragraph 4.1.1. over the expected range of pollutant concentrations and ambient conditions of the type-approval test defined in UN Regulation No. 154 on WLTP as well as a validation test as described in paragraph 3. of Annex 6 for a vehicle equipped with a spark-ignition and compression-ignition engine; the manufacturer of the analyser shall demonstrate the significance of equivalency within the permissible tolerances given in paragraph 3.3. of Annex 6. |
|
(c) |
A demonstration of equivalency with the respective standard analyser specified in paragraph 4.1.1. with respect to the influence of atmospheric pressure on the measurement performance of the analyser; the demonstration test shall determine the response to span gas having a concentration within the analyser range to check the influence of atmospheric pressure under moderate and extended altitude conditions defined in paragraph 8.1. Such a test can be performed in an altitude environmental test chamber. |
|
(d) |
A demonstration of equivalency with the respective standard analyser specified in paragraph 4.1.1. over at least three on-road tests that fulfil the requirements of this Annex. |
|
(e) |
A demonstration that the influence of vibrations, accelerations and ambient temperature on the analyser reading does not exceed the noise requirements for analysers set out in paragraph 4.2.4. |
Approval authorities may request additional information to substantiate equivalency or refuse approval if measurements demonstrate that an alternative analyser is not equivalent to a standard analyser.
4.2. Analyser specifications
4.2.1. General
In addition to the linearity requirements defined for each analyser in paragraph 3., the compliance of analyser types with the specifications laid down in paragraphs 4.2.2. to 4.2.8. shall be demonstrated by the analyser manufacturer. Analysers shall have a measuring range and response time appropriate to measure with adequate accuracy the concentrations of the exhaust gas components at the applicable emissions standard under transient and steady state conditions. The sensitivity of the analysers to shocks, vibration, aging, variability in temperature and air pressure as well as electromagnetic interferences and other impacts related to vehicle and analyser operation shall be limited as far as possible.
4.2.2. Accuracy

4.2.4. Noise
The noise shall not exceed 2 per cent of full scale. Each of the 10 measurement periods shall be interspersed with an interval of 30 seconds in which the analyser is exposed to an appropriate span gas.

4.2.8. Gas drying
Exhaust gases may be measured wet or dry. A gas-drying device, if used, shall have a minimal effect on the composition of the measured gases. Chemical dryers are not permitted.
4.3. Additional requirements
4.3.1. General
The provisions in paragraphs 4.3.2. to 4.3.5. define additional performance requirements for specific analyser types and apply only to cases in which the analyser under consideration is used for RDE emission measurements.
4.3.2. Efficiency test for NOX converters
If a NOX converter is applied, for example to convert NO2 into NO for analysis with a chemiluminescence analyser, its efficiency shall be tested by following the requirements in paragraph 5.5. of Annex B5 to UN Regulation No. 154 on WLTP. The efficiency of the NOX converter shall be verified no longer than one month before the emissions test.
4.3.3. Adjustment of the Flame Ionisation Detector (FID)
|
(a) |
Optimization of the detector response If hydrocarbons are measured, the FID shall be adjusted as specified by the instrument manufacturer by following paragraph 5.4.1. of Annex B5 to UN Regulation No. 154 on WLTP. A propane-in-air or propane-in-nitrogen span gas shall be used to optimize the response in the most common operating range. |
|
(b) |
Hydrocarbon response factors If hydrocarbons are measured, the hydrocarbon response factor of the FID shall be verified by following the provisions of paragraph 5.4.3. of Annex B5 to UN Regulation No. 154 on WLTP, using propane-in-air or propane-in-nitrogen as span gases and purified synthetic air or nitrogen as zero gases, respectively. |
|
(c) |
Oxygen interference check The oxygen interference check shall be performed when introducing a FID into service and after major maintenance intervals. A measuring range shall be chosen in which the oxygen interference check gases fall in the upper 50 per cent. The test shall be conducted with the oven temperature set as required. The specifications of the oxygen interference check gases are described in paragraph 5.3. The following procedure applies:
|
4.3.4. Conversion efficiency of the non-methane cutter (NMC)
If hydrocarbons are analysed, a NMC can be used to remove non-methane hydrocarbons from the gas sample by oxidizing all hydrocarbons except methane. Ideally, the conversion for methane is 0 per cent and for the other hydrocarbons, represented by ethane, is 100 per cent. For the accurate measurement of NMHC, the two efficiencies shall be determined and used for the calculation of the NMHC emissions (see paragraph 6.2. of Annex 7). It is not necessary to determine the methane conversion efficiency in the case where the NMC-FID is calibrated according to method (b) in paragraph 6.2. of Annex 7 by passing the methane/air calibration gas through the NMC.
|
(a) |
Methane conversion efficiency Methane calibration gas shall be flowed through the FID with and without bypassing the NMC; the two concentrations shall be recorded. The methane efficiency shall be determined as:
where:
|
|
(b) |
Ethane conversion efficiency Ethane calibration gas shall be flowed through the FID with and without bypassing the NMC; the two concentrations shall be recorded. The ethane efficiency shall be determined as:
where:
|
4.3.5. Interference effects
|
(a) |
General Other gases than the ones being analysed can affect the analyser reading. A check for interference effects and the correct functionality of analysers shall be performed by the analyser manufacturer prior to market introduction at least once for each type of analyser or device addressed in paragraphs 4.3.5. (b) to (f). |
|
(b) |
CO analyser interference check Water and CO2 can interfere with the measurements of the CO analyser. Therefore, a CO2 span gas, having a concentration of 80 to 100 per cent of the full scale of the maximum operating range of the CO2 analyser used during the test, shall be bubbled through water at room temperature and the analyser response recorded. The analyser response shall not be more than 2 per cent of the mean CO concentration expected during normal on-road testing or ± 50 ppm, whichever is larger. The interference check for H2O and CO2 may be run as separate procedures. If the H2O and CO2 levels used for the interference check are higher than the maximum levels expected during the test, each observed interference value shall be scaled down by multiplying the observed interference with the ratio of the maximum expected concentration value during the test and the actual concentration value used during this check. Separate interference checks with concentrations of H2O that are lower than the maximum concentration expected during the test may be run and the observed H2O interference shall be scaled up by multiplying the observed interference with the ratio of the maximum H2O concentration value expected during the test and the actual concentration value used during this check. The sum of the two scaled interference values shall meet the tolerance specified in this point. |
|
(c) |
NOX analyser quench check The two gases of concern for CLD and HCLD analysers are CO2 and water vapour. The quench response to these gases is proportional to the gas concentrations. A test shall determine the quench at the highest concentrations expected during the test. If the CLD and HCLD analysers use quench compensation algorithms that utilize H2O or CO2 measurement analysers or both, quench shall be evaluated with these analysers active and with the compensation algorithms applied.
|
|
(d) |
Quench check for NDUV analysers Hydrocarbons and water can positively interfere with NDUV analysers by causing a response similar to that of NOX. The manufacturer of the NDUV analyser shall use the following procedure to verify that quench effects are limited:
The calculated NOX,dry shall at least amount to 95 per cent of NOX,ref. |
|
(e) |
Sample dryer A sample dryer removes water, which can otherwise interfere with the NOX measurement. For dry CLD analysers, it shall be demonstrated that at the highest expected water vapour concentration H m the sample dryer maintains the CLD humidity at ≤ 5 g water/kg dry air (or about 0,8 per cent H2O), which is 100 per cent relative humidity at 3,9 °C and 101,3 kPa or about 25 per cent relative humidity at 25 °C and 101,3 kPa. Compliance may be demonstrated by measuring the temperature at the outlet of a thermal sample dryer or by measuring the humidity at a point just upstream of the CLD. The humidity of the CLD exhaust might also be measured as long as the only flow into the CLD is the flow from the sample dryer. |
|
(f) |
Sample dryer NO2 penetration Liquid water remaining in an improperly designed sample dryer can remove NO2 from the sample. If a sample dryer is used in combination with a NDUV analyser without an NO2/NO converter upstream, water could therefore remove NO2 from the sample prior to the NOX measurement. The sample dryer shall allow for measuring at least 95 per cent of the NO2 contained in a gas that is saturated with water vapour and consists of the maximum NO2 concentration expected to occur during emission testing. |
4.4. Response time check of the analytical system
For the response time check, the settings of the analytical system shall be exactly the same as during the emissions test (i.e. pressure, flow rates, filter settings in the analysers and all other parameters influencing the response time). The response time shall be determined with gas switching directly at the inlet of the sample probe. The gas switching shall be done in less than 0,1 second. The gases used for the test shall cause a concentration change of at least 60 per cent full scale of the analyser.
The concentration trace of each single gas component shall be recorded.
For time alignment of the analyser and exhaust flow signals, the transformation time is defined as the time from the change (t 0) until the response is 50 per cent of the final reading (t 50).
The system response time shall be ≤ 12 s with a rise time of ≤ 3 seconds for all components and all ranges used. When using a NMC for the measurement of NMHC, the system response time may exceed 12 seconds.
5. Gases
5.1. Calibration and span gases for RDE tests
5.1.1. General
The shelf life of calibration and span gases shall be respected. Pure as well as mixed calibration and span gases shall fulfil the specifications of Annex B5 of UN Regulation No. 154 on WLTP.
5.1.2. NO2 calibration gas
In addition, NO2 calibration gas is permissible. The concentration of the NO2 calibration gas shall be within two per cent of the declared concentration value. The amount of NO contained in the NO2 calibration gas shall not exceed 5 per cent of the NO2 content.
5.1.3. Multicomponent mixtures
Only multicomponent mixtures which fulfil the requirements of paragraph 5.1.1. shall be used. These mixtures may contain two or more of the components. Multicomponent mixtures containing both NO and NO2 are exempted of the NO2 impurity requirement set out in paragraphs 5.1.1. and 5.1.2.
5.2. Gas dividers
Gas dividers (i.e., precision blending devices that dilute with purified N2 or synthetic air) can be used to obtain calibration and span gases. The accuracy of the gas divider shall be such that the concentration of the blended calibration gases is accurate to within ± 2 per cent. The verification shall be performed at between 15 and 50 per cent of full scale for each calibration incorporating a gas divider. An additional verification may be performed using another calibration gas, if the first verification has failed.
Optionally, the gas divider may be checked with an instrument which by nature is linear, e.g. using NO gas in combination with a CLD. The span value of the instrument shall be adjusted with the span gas directly connected to the instrument. The gas divider shall be checked at the settings typically used and the nominal value shall be compared with the concentration measured by the instrument. The difference shall in each point be within ±1 per cent of the nominal concentration value.
5.3. Oxygen interference check gases
Oxygen interference check gases consist of a blend of propane, oxygen and nitrogen and shall contain propane at a concentration of 350 ± 75 ppmC1. The concentration shall be determined by gravimetric methods, dynamic blending or the chromatographic analysis of total hydrocarbons plus impurities. The oxygen concentrations of the oxygen interference check gases shall meet the requirements listed in Table A5/3; the remainder of the oxygen interference check gas shall consist of purified nitrogen.

6. Analysers for measuring (solid) particle emissions
This section will define future requirement for analysers for measuring particle number emissions, once their measurement becomes mandatory.
6.1. General
The PN analyser shall consist of a pre-conditioning unit and a particle detector that counts with 50 per cent efficiency from approximately 23 nm. It is permissible that the particle detector also pre-conditions the aerosol. The sensitivity of the analysers to shocks, vibration, aging, variability in temperature and air pressure as well as electromagnetic interferences and other impacts related to vehicle and analyser operation shall be limited as far as possible and shall be clearly stated by the equipment manufacturer in its support material. The PN analyser shall only be used within its manufacturer’s declared parameters of operation. An example of a PN analyser setup is provided in Figure A5/1.
Figure A5/1
Example of a PN analyser setup
(Dotted lines depict optional parts. EFM = Exhaust mass Flow Meter, d = inner diameter, PND = Particle Number Diluter)
The PN analyser shall be connected to the sampling point via a sampling probe which extracts a sample from the centreline of the tailpipe tube. As specified in paragraph 3.5. of Annex 4, if particles are not diluted at the tailpipe, the sampling line shall be heated to a minimum temperature of 373 K (100 °C) until the point of first dilution of the PN analyser or the particle detector of the analyser. The residence time in the sampling line shall be less than 3 s.
All parts in contact with the sampled exhaust gas shall be always kept at a temperature that avoids condensation of any compound in the device. This can be achieved for example by heating at a higher temperature and diluting the sample or oxidizing the (semi)volatile species.
The PN analyser shall include a heated section at wall temperature ≥ 573 K. The unit shall control the heated stages to constant nominal operating temperatures, within a tolerance of ± 10 K, and provide an indication of whether or not heated stages are at their correct operating temperatures. Lower temperatures are acceptable as long as the volatile particle removal efficiency fulfils the specifications of paragraph 6.4.
Pressure, temperature and other sensors shall monitor the proper operation of the instrument during operation and trigger a warning or message in case of malfunction.
The delay time of the PN analyser shall be ≤ 5 s.
The PN analyser (and/or particle detector) shall have a rise time of ≤ 3,5 s.
Particle concentration measurements shall be reported normalised to 273 K and 101,3 kPa. If necessary, the pressure and/or temperature at the inlet of the detector shall be measured and reported for the purposes of normalizing the particle concentration.
PN systems that comply with the calibration requirements of UN Regulation Nos 83 or 49 or UN Regulation No. 154 on WLTP automatically comply with the calibration requirements of this annex.
6.2. Efficiency requirements
The complete PN analyser system including the sampling line shall fulfil the efficiency requirements of Table A5/3a.

0,6 – 1,3 |
0,7 – 1,3 |
0,7 – 1,3 |
0,5 – 2,0 |
Efficiency E(dp) is defined as the ratio in the readings of the PN analyser system to a reference Condensation Particle Counter (CPC)’s (d50 % = 10 nm or lower, checked for linearity and calibrated with an electrometer) or an Electrometer’s number concentration measuring in parallel monodisperse aerosol of mobility diameter dp and normalized at the same temperature and pressure conditions.
The material should be thermally stable soot-like (e.g. spark discharged graphite or diffusion flame soot with thermal pre-treatment). If the efficiency curve is measured with a different aerosol (e.g. NaCl), the correlation to the soot-like curve must be provided as a chart which compares the efficiencies obtained using both test aerosols. The differences in the counting efficiencies shall be taken into account by adjusting the measured efficiencies based on the provided chart to give soot-like aerosol efficiencies. The correction for multiply charged particles shall be applied and documented but shall not exceed 10 per cent. These efficiencies refer to the PN analysers with the sampling line. The PN analyser can also be calibrated in parts (i.e. the pre-conditioning unit separately from the particle detector) as long as it is proven that the PN analyser and the sampling line together fulfil the requirements of Table A5/3a. The measured signal from the detector shall be > 2 times the limit of detection (here defined as the zero level plus 3 standard deviations).
6.3. Linearity requirements

Alternatively, a particle number system compliant with UN Regulation No. 154 on WLTP.
In addition, the differences of the PN analyser from the reference instrument at all points checked (except the zero point) shall be within 15 per cent of their mean value. At least 5 points equally distributed (plus the zero) shall be checked. The maximum checked concentration shall be > 90 per cent of the PN analyser nominal measurement range.
If the PN analyser is calibrated in parts, then the linearity can be checked only for the PN detector, but the efficiencies of the rest parts and the sampling line shall be considered in the slope calculation.
6.4. Volatile removal efficiency
The system shall achieve > 99 per cent removal of ≥ 30 nm tetracontane (CH3(CH2)38CH3) particles with an inlet concentration of ≥ 10 000 particles per cubic-centimetre at the minimum dilution.
The system shall also achieve a > 99 per cent removal efficiency of tetracontane with count median diameter > 50 nm and mass > 1 mg/m3.
The volatile removal efficiency with tetracontane shall be proven only once for the instrument family. The instrument manufacturer though shall provide the maintenance or replacement interval that ensures that the removal efficiency does not drop below the technical requirements. If such information is not provided, the volatile removal efficiency shall be checked yearly for each instrument.

It is permissible to calculate the exhaust mass flow rate based on air flow and fuel flow measurements obtained from sensors with traceable calibration if these fulfil the linearity requirements of paragraph 3., the accuracy requirements of paragraph 8. and if the resulting exhaust mass flow rate is validated according to paragraph 4. of Annex 6.
In addition, other methods that determine the exhaust mass flow rate based on non-traceable instruments and signals, such as simplified exhaust mass flow meters or ECU signals, are permissible if the resulting exhaust mass flow rate fulfils the linearity requirements of paragraph 3. and is validated according to paragraph 4. of Annex 6.

7.2.7. Span response drift
The span response drift is defined as the mean response to a span flow during a time interval of at least 30 seconds. The span response drift can be verified based on the reported primary signals, e.g., pressure.

The response time determination shall be done with gas switching directly at the inlet of the exhaust mass flow meter. The gas flow switching shall be done as fast as possible, but in less than 0,1 second is highly recommended. The gas flow rate used for the test shall cause a flow rate change of at least 60 per cent full scale of the exhaust mass flow meter. The gas flow shall be recorded. The delay time is defined as the time from the gas flow switching (t 0) until the response is 10 per cent (t 10) of the final reading. The rise time is defined as the time between 10 per cent and 90 per cent response (t 10 to t 90) of the final reading. The response time (t 90) is defined as the sum of the delay time and the rise time.

3. Validation procedure for PEMS
3.1. Frequency of PEMS validation
It is recommended to validate the correct installation of a PEMS on a vehicle via comparison with laboratory installed equipment on a test performed on a chassis dynamometer either before the RDE test or, alternatively, after the completion of the test. For tests performed during type approval, the validation test is required.
3.2. PEMS validation procedure
3.2.1. PEMS installation
The PEMS shall be installed and prepared according to the requirements of Annex 4. The PEMS installation shall be kept unchanged in the time period between the validation and the RDE test.
3.2.2. Test conditions
The validation test shall be conducted on a chassis dynamometer, as far as possible, under type approval conditions by following the requirements of UN Regulation No. 154 on WLTP for a 4-phase cycle. It is recommended to feed the exhaust flow extracted by the PEMS during the validation test back to the CVS. If this is not feasible, the CVS results shall be corrected for the extracted exhaust mass. If the exhaust mass flow rate is validated with an exhaust mass flow meter, it is recommended to cross-check the mass flow rate measurements with data obtained from a sensor or the ECU.
3.2.3. Data analysis
The total distance-specific emissions [g/km] measured with laboratory equipment shall be calculated in accordance with UN Regulation No. 154 on WLTP. The emissions as measured with the PEMS shall be calculated according to Annex 7, summed to give the total mass of pollutants [g] and then divided by the test distance [km] as obtained from the chassis dynamometer. The total distance-specific mass of pollutants [g/km], as determined by the PEMS and the reference laboratory system, shall be evaluated against the requirements specified in paragraph 3.3. For the validation of NOX emission measurements, humidity correction shall be applied in accordance with UN Regulation No. 154 on WLTP.
3.3. Permissible tolerances for PEMS validation
The PEMS validation results shall fulfil the requirements given in Table A6/1. If any permissible tolerance is not met, corrective action shall be taken and the PEMS validation shall be repeated.

In addition to fulfilling the linearity requirements of paragraph 3. of Annex 5 under steady-state conditions, the linearity of non-traceable exhaust mass flow meters or the exhaust mass flow rate calculated from non-traceable sensors or ECU signals shall be validated under transient conditions for each test vehicle against a calibrated exhaust mass flow meter or the CVS.
4.2. Validation procedure
The validation shall be conducted on a chassis dynamometer under type approval conditions, as far as applicable on the same vehicle used for the RDE test.

|
(b) |
Points below 10 per cent of the maximum flow value shall be excluded from the further analysis. |

For compliance with this Regulation, the method shall be applied using the 4-phase and the 3-phase WLTC requirements.

3. Moving averaging windows
3.1. Definition of averaging windows
The instantaneous CO2 emissions calculated according to Annex 7 shall be integrated using a moving averaging window method, based on a reference CO2 mass.
The usage of the reference CO2 mass is illustrated in Figure A8/2. The principle of the calculation is as follows: The RDE distance-specific CO2 mass emissions are not calculated for the complete data set, but for sub-sets of the complete data set, the length of these sub-sets being determined so as to always match the same fraction of the CO2 mass emitted by the vehicle over the applicable WLTP test (after all appropriate corrections e.g. ATCT are applied, where relevant). The moving window calculations are conducted with a time increment Δt corresponding to the data sampling frequency. These sub-sets used to calculate the vehicle on-road CO2 emissions and its average speed are referred to as ‘averaging windows’ in the following sections. The calculation described in this point shall be run from the first data point (forward), as shown in Figure A8/1.
The following data shall not be considered for the calculation of the CO2 mass, the distance and the vehicle average speed in each averaging window:
|
|
The periodic verification of the instruments and/or after the zero drift verifications; |
|
|
Vehicle ground speed < 1 km/h; |
|
|
The calculation shall start from when vehicle ground speed is higher than or equal to 1 km/h and include driving events during which no CO2 is emitted and where the vehicle ground speed is higher than or equal to 1 km/h. |

The reference dynamic conditions of the test vehicle are defined from the vehicle CO2 emissions versus average speed measured at type approval on the WLTP test and referred to as ‘vehicle CO2 characteristic curve’.
4.2. CO2 characteristic curve reference points
The distance specific CO2 emissions of the tested vehicle shall be taken from the applicable phases of the validation WLTP 4-phase test run in accordance with UN Regulation No. 154 on WLTP on that particular vehicle. The value for OVC-HEV vehicles is to be that obtained from the applicable WLTP test conducted using Charge Sustaining vehicle operation.
During type approval, the CO2 reference values shall be taken from the WLTP test of the individual vehicle, obtained in accordance with UN Regulation No 154, including all appropriate corrections.

4.3. CO2 characteristic curve definition
Using the reference points defined in paragraph 4.2., the characteristic curve CO2 emissions are calculated as a function of the average speed using two linear sections (P1, P2) and (P2, P3). The section (P2, P3) is limited to 145 km/h on the vehicle speed axis. The characteristic curve is defined by equations as follows:

4. Calculation of cumulative positive elevation gain
4.1. General
The cumulative positive elevation gain of a RDE trip shall be calculated as a two-step procedure, consisting of (i) the correction of instantaneous vehicle altitude data, and (ii) the calculation of the cumulative positive elevation gain.
4.2. Correction of instantaneous vehicle altitude data
The altitude h(0) at the start of a trip at d(0) shall be obtained by GNSS and verified for correctness with information from a topographic map. The deviation shall not be larger than 40 m. Any instantaneous altitude data h(t) shall be corrected if the following condition applies:

4.3. Final calculation of the cumulative positive elevation gain
4.3.1. Establishment of a uniform spatial resolution
The cumulative elevation gain shall be calculated from data of a constant spatial resolution of 1 m starting with the first measurement at the start of a trip d(0). The discrete data points at a resolution of 1 m are referred to as way points, characterized by a specific distance value d (e.g., 0, 1, 2, 3 m…) and their corresponding altitude h(d) [m above sea level].
The altitude of each discrete way point d shall be calculated through interpolation of the instantaneous altitude hcorr(t) as:

|
hint(d) |
— |

Illustration of the procedure to smooth the interpolated altitude signals
4.3.3. Calculation of the final result
The positive cumulative elevation gain of a total trip shall be calculated by integrating all positive interpolated and smoothed road grades, i.e., roadgrade,2(d). The result should be normalized by the total test distance d tot and expressed in meters of cumulative elevation gain per one hundred kilometres of distance.
The waypoint vehicle speed vw shall then be calculated over each discrete way point of 1m:
For 3-phase WLTP evaluation all datasets with vw ≤ 100 km/h are used for the calculation of the cumulative positive altitude gain of the complete trip.
All of the positive interpolated and smoothed road gradients that correspond to ≤ 100 km/h datasets shall be integrated.
The number of 1m waypoints which correspond to ≤ 100 km/h datasets shall be integrated and converted to km to define the ≤ 100 km/h test distance d100 [km].
The positive cumulative elevation gain of the urban part of the trip shall then be calculated based on the vehicle speed over each discrete way point. All datasets with v w ≤ 60 km/h belong to the urban part of the trip. All of the positive interpolated and smoothed road grades that correspond to urban datasets shall be integrated.
The number of 1m waypoints which correspond to urban datasets shall be integrated and converted to km to define the urban test distance d urban [km].
The positive cumulative elevation gain of the urban part of a trip shall then be calculated by dividing the urban elevation gain by the urban test distance, and expressed in metres of cumulative elevation gain per one hundred kilometres of distance.
