5. Amendment 5 to UN GTR No. 2 covers three test types related to tailpipe emissions:
A1. Test Type I: Tailpipe Emissions After Cold Start
6. To monitor the gaseous pollutant emissions a vehicle produces when in general use,
Test Type I defines a test procedure in a cold start and performing an appropriate
driving cycle in a chassis dynamometer which has been designed for that class of
vehicle, while taking into consideration the requirements of test repeatability and
reproducibility.
A2. Test Type II: Tailpipe Emissions at Idle (PI Engine) and Free Acceleration Test (CI
Engine)
7. To test low idle and high idle emissions referred to in road worthiness testing,
Test Type II defines a test procedure at two idle engine speeds for vehicles equipped
with PI engines to measure the emissions of CO and HC and a test procedure at free
acceleration for vehicles equipped with CI engines to measure opacity which is
indirectly representative of particulate matter emissions for CI vehicles.
A3. Test Type VII: Energy Efficiency, i.e. CO Emissions and Fuel Consumption
8. To provide information required by consumers to judge the energy efficiency and
running costs and practicality of a vehicle, Test Type VII measures for publication and
inclusion in vehicle literature, the energy efficiency with respect to CO emissions and
fuel consumption.
9. The base UN GTR No. 2 builds on the work of the WMTC Informal Working Group
(IWG), its deliberations and conclusions, provided in the group's Technical Report
(ECE/TRANS/180/Add.2/Appendix 1) which produced its last amendment on the base
UN GTR in 2011. Amendment 5 to UN GTR No. 2 is based on the work of the
Informal Working Group (IWG) on Environmental and Propulsion unit Performance
Requirements of L-category vehicles (EPPR), which held its first meeting during the
65th GRPE in January 2013 sponsored by the European Commission (EC).
B. PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
10. The original work on the base UN GTR No. 2 started in May 2000 with the
establishment of the WMTC Informal Working Group. At the UNECE Working Party
on Pollution and Energy (GRPE) 45th session in January 2003, a formal proposal by
Germany for the establishment of a UN GTR was approved for presentation to the
Executive Committee for the 1998 Agreement (AC.3). At its session on
November 13, 2003, the proposal from Germany was also approved as a UN GTR
project by AC.3.
11. The base UN GTR No. 2 was approved by AC.3 in June 2005. Amendment 1 to the
base UN GTR No. 2 was approved by AC.3 in November 2007. The draft text of
Amendment 2 to UN GTR No. 2 on the introduction of performance requirements
(limit values for pollutant emissions for vehicles fitted with gasoline engines) was
approved by GRPE in January 2011, subject to final decisions concerning the format
of the text by AC.3.

as well as the delegated act on environmental and propulsion unit
performance requirements.
Regulation (EU) No. 134/2014 (REPPR), amended by Regulation (EU)
No. 2016/1824 and Regulation (EU) No. 2018/295, setting out technical
provisions and environmental performance test procedures.

19. Most of these regulations had been in existence for many years and the methods of
measurement varied significantly. The technical experts were familiar with these
requirements and discussed them in their working sessions. The IWG on EPPR
therefore considered that to be able to determine a two-wheeled vehicle's real impact
on the environment, in terms of its exhaust pollutant emissions and energy efficiency,
the test procedure and consequently the UN GTR No. 2 needs to represent modern,
real-world vehicle operation.
26. The fourth and final stage of the study involved a review of the proposed harmonised
test procedures by the EC, and following further discussion this feedback was
incorporated and a final set of iterations undertaken, which form the technical content
of the EC's proposals to revise and supplement UN GTR No. 2 and which were made
available as working documents to be discussed and agreed by the IWG on EPPR.
27. The outcome of this work was, among others, the development of a new proposal to
amend UN GTR No. 2 based on the consolidation of existing global legislation and
up-to-date technical provisions.
D. DISCUSSION OF THE ISSUES ADDRESSED BY THE UN GTR
28. Amendment 4 to UN GTR No. 2 brings together the tailpipe pollutant and CO
emissions related Test Types I, II and VII. This latter mentioned Test Type VII verifies
the energy efficiency of the light motor vehicle in terms of setting out a test procedure
required to determine the CO emissions and fuel consumption of vehicles equipped
with a combustion engine.
29. The process used to develop this UN GTR was based on reaching consensus in
order to allow this UN GTR to fulfil the requirements of different regions of the world.
30. The durability requirements (Test Type V) were outside the scope of the informal
group's mandate within the development of the Amendment 4 to UN GTR No. 2.
However, Contracting Parties were expressly permitted within this section to specify
durability requirements and/or useful life provisions in their national or regional
legislation in relation to the emission limits set out in Paragraph 33. in this UN GTR. A
new UN GTR on durability of pollution control devices of two-wheeled vehicles (Test
Type V) will be formulated by the IWG on EPPR with harmonised test procedure and
will use Amendment 4 to UN GTR No. 2 to verify the tailpipe emissions.
31. In the development of Amendment 4 to UN GTR No. 2, specific technical issues were
raised, discussed, and resolved, which are examined in the Technical Report. The
IWG on EPPR after long discussions took the decision that the basic text to work with
was the Regulation (EU) 168/2013, recently amended by Regulation (EU) 2019/129
(Euro 5 emission test provisions/technical requirements) and Regulation
(EU) 134/2014, as amended by Regulations (EU) 2016/1824 and Regulation
(EU) 2018/295.
32. In the development of Amendment 5 to UN GTR No. 2, further technical issues, which
are examined in the Technical Report, were raised, discussed and resolved. The IWG
on EPPR took the decision to add the definition of twinned wheeled vehicles for
clarification, to extend the scope to three-wheeled vehicles (with the exception of the
low-powered Indian specific ones), to extend the scope to alternative fuels (notably
CNG and LPG) and to align to UN GTR No. 15 on WLTP to the extent possible for the
sake of harmonization.
33. The main resolutions agreed by the IWG on EPPR and the technical background are
addressed in the Technical Report accompanying Amendment 5 to UN GTR No. 2.

An Example of Open-type System for Sampling Gases and Measuring their Volume
3.4.3.2. A connecting tube shall be placed between the device and the exhaust gas sampling
system. This tube and the device shall be made of stainless steel, or of some other
material which does not affect the composition of the gases collected and which
withstands the temperature of these gases.
3.4.3.3. Positive Displacement Pump (PDP)
3.4.3.3.1. A positive displacement pump (PDP) full flow exhaust dilution system satisfies the
requirements of this Annex by metering the flow of gas through the pump at constant
temperature and pressure. The total volume is measured by counting the revolutions
made by the calibrated positive displacement pump. The proportional sample is
achieved by sampling with pump, flow meter and flow control valve at a constant flow
rate.
The bag material shall be such as to affect neither the measurements themselves nor
the chemical composition of the gas samples by more than ±2% after 30min (e.g.,
laminated polyethylene/polyamide films, or fluorinated polyhydrocarbons).
3.4.3.8.2. The bags shall have an automatic self-locking device and shall be easily and tightly
fastened either to the sampling system or the analysing system at the end of the test.
3.4.3.9. A revolution counter shall be used to count the revolutions of the positive
displacement pump throughout the test.
Note 2:
Note 3:
Note 4:
Attention shall be paid to the connecting method and the material or
configuration of the connecting parts, because each section (e.g. the
adapter and the coupler) of the sampling system can become very hot. If
the measurement cannot be performed normally due to heat damage to
the sampling system, an auxiliary cooling device may be used as long as
the exhaust gases are not affected.
With open type devices, there is a risk of incomplete gas collection and
gas leakage into the test cell. There shall be no leakage throughout the
sampling period.
If a constant volume sampler (CVS) flow rate is used throughout the test
cycle that includes low and high vehicle speeds all in one (i.e. part 1, 2
and 3 cycles), special attention shall be paid to the higher risk of water
condensation in the high vehicle speed range.
3.4.3.10. Particulate Mass Emissions Measurement Equipment
3.4.3.10.1. Specification
3.4.3.10.1.1. System Overview
3.4.3.10.1.1.1. The particulate sampling unit shall consist of a sampling probe (PSP) located in the
dilution tunnel, a particle transfer tube (PTT), a filter holder(s) (FH), pump(s), flow rate
regulators and measuring units. See Figure A1/2 and Figure A1/3.
3.4.3.10.1.1.2. A particle size pre-classifier (PCF) (e.g. cyclone or impactor) may be used. In such
case, it is recommended that it is employed upstream of the filter holder. However, a
sampling probe, acting as an appropriate size classification device such as that
shown in Figure A1/4, is acceptable.
3.4.3.10.1.2. General Requirements

diluted exhaust passing through the particulate collection filters and for the
measurement/control of secondary dilution air shall be sufficient so that the
differential volume shall meet the accuracy and proportional sampling requirements
specified for single dilution. The requirement that no condensation of the exhaust gas
should occur in the CVS dilution tunnel, diluted exhaust flow rate measurement

4. TEST PROCEDURES
4.1. Description of the Test Type I
The test vehicle shall be subjected, according to its category, to Test Type I
requirements as specified in this Paragraph 4 and comply with the requirements set
out in Appendix 3 to Annex 4.
4.1.1. Test Type I (verifying the average emission of gaseous pollutants, PM for gasoline
direct injection and diesel vehicle, CO emissions and fuel consumption in a
characteristic driving cycle)
4.1.1.1. The test shall be carried out by the method described in Paragraph 4.2. The gases
shall be collected and analysed by the prescribed methods.
4.1.1.2. Number of Tests
4.1.1.2.1. The number of tests shall be determined as shown in Figure A1/7. R to R describe
the final measurement results for the first (No. 1) test to the third (No. 3) test and the
gaseous pollutant and PM. For carbon dioxide emission and fuel consumption refer
Annex 3 for number of tests.
4.1.1.2.2. In each test, the masses of the carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides,
carbon dioxide and the fuel consumed during the test shall be determined. The mass
of particulate matter shall be determined only for vehicles equipped with a CI or a
direct injection PI combustion engine.
4.2. Test Type I
4.2.1. Introduction
Exhaust emissions may be sampled during preparation tests for Test Type I or during
verification tests for Test Types IV, VII or VIII but the results of these tests shall not be
used for the purpose of exhaust emission certification to satisfy the requirements set
out in Paragraph 4.1.1.2.2.
4.2.1.1. The Test Type I consists of prescribed sequences of dynamometer preparation,
fuelling, parking, and operating conditions.
4.2.1.2. The test is designed to determine hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen,
carbon dioxide, particulate matter mass emissions if applicable and fuel consumption
while simulating real-world operation. The test consists of engine start-ups and
vehicle operation on a chassis dynamometer, through a specified driving cycle. A
proportional part of the diluted exhaust emissions is collected continuously for
subsequent analysis, using a CVS.
4.2.1.3. Except in cases of component malfunction or failure, all emission-control systems
installed on or incorporated in a tested vehicle shall be functioning during all
procedures.
4.2.1.4. Background concentrations are measured for all emission constituents for which
emissions measurements are taken. For exhaust testing, this requires sampling and
analysis of the dilution air.
4.2.1.5. Background Particulate Mass Measurement
The particulate background level of the dilution air may be determined by passing
filtered dilution air through the particulate filter. This shall be drawn from the same
point as the particulate matter sample, if a particulate mass measurement is
applicable according to Paragraph 4.1.1.2.2. One measurement may be performed
prior to or after the test. Particulate mass measurements may be corrected by
subtracting the background contribution from the dilution system. The permissible
background contribution shall be ≤1mg/km (or equivalent mass on the filter). If the
background contribution exceeds this level, the default figure of 1mg/km (or
equivalent mass on the filter) shall be used. Where subtraction of the background
contribution gives a negative result, the particulate mass result shall be considered to
be zero.
4.2.2. Dynamometer Settings and Verification

satisfaction of the responsible authority or so that the speed of the vehicle during the
road test and the vehicle speed obtained on the chassis dynamometer are equal.
4.2.2.2.3. Total Friction Loss

following equation:
4.2.2.2.4. Calculation of Power-absorption Unit Force
The force F (v ) to be absorbed by the chassis dynamometer at the reference
vehicle speed v is calculated by subtracting F (v ) from the target running resistance
force F*(v ) as shown in the following equation:
F (v ) = F* (v ) � F (v ) (18)
4.2.2.2.5. Chassis Dynamometer Setting
Depending on its type, the chassis dynamometer shall be set by one of the methods
described in Paragraphs 4.2.2.2.5.1 to 4.2.2.2.5.4. The chosen setting shall be
applied to the pollutant and CO emission measurements as well as fuel consumption
laid down in Appendix 1 to Annex 3.
4.2.2.2.5.1. Chassis Dynamometer with Polygonal Function
In the case of a chassis dynamometer with polygonal function, in which the
absorption characteristics are determined by load values at several specified vehicle
speed points, at least three specified vehicle speeds, including the reference vehicle
speed, shall be chosen as the setting points. At each setting point, the chassis
dynamometer shall be set to the value F (v ) obtained in Paragraph 4.2.2.2.4.
4.2.2.2.5.2. Chassis Dynamometer with Coefficient Control
In the case of a chassis dynamometer with coefficient control, in which the absorption
characteristics are determined by given coefficients of a polynomial function, the
value of F (v) at each specified vehicle speed shall be calculated by the procedure
in Paragraph 4.2.2.2.
Assuming the load characteristics to be:
F (v) = a ● v + b ● v + c (19)
where:
the coefficients a, b and c shall be determined by the polynomial regression method.
The chassis dynamometer shall be set to the coefficients a, b and c obtained by the
polynomial regression method.
(17)
4.2.2.2.6. Dynamometer Settings Verification
4.2.2.2.6.1. Verification Test
Immediately after the initial setting, the coast-down time ∆t on the chassis
dynamometer corresponding to the reference vehicle speed (v ) shall be measured
by the procedure set out in Appendix 4 or 5a to Annex 4 for a vehicle equipped with
one wheel on the powered axle or in Appendix 5b to Annex 4 for a vehicle with two
wheels on the powered axle. The measurement shall be carried out at least three
times, and the mean coast-down time ∆t shall be calculated from the results. The set
running resistance force at the reference speed, F (v ) on the chassis dynamometer
is calculated by the following equation:
4.2.2.2.6.2. Calculation of Setting Error
The setting error ε is calculated by the following equation:
(27)
The chassis dynamometer shall be readjusted if the setting error does not satisfy the
following criteria:
ε ≤ 2% for v ≥ 50km/h
ε ≤ 3% for 30km/h ≤ v < 50km/h
ε ≤ 10% for v < 30km/h
The procedure in Paragraphs 4.2.2.2.6.1 to 4.2.2.2.6.2 shall be repeated until the

spaced as uniformly as possible. The nominal concentration of the calibration gas of
the highest concentration shall be not less than 80% of the full scale.
4.2.3.2.2. The calibration gas concentration required may be obtained by means of a gas

These are relative to a response factor (R ) of 1.00 for propane and purified air.
4.2.3.4.4. NO Converter Efficiency Test Procedure
4.2.3.4.4.1. Using the test set up as shown in Figure A1/8 and the procedure described below, the
efficiency of converters for the conversion of NO into NO shall be tested by means of
an ozonator as follows:
4.2.3.4.4.1.1. The analyser shall be calibrated in the most common operating range following the
manufacturer's specifications using zero and calibration gas (the NO content of which
shall amount to approximately 80% of the operating range and the NO concentration
of the gas mixture shall be less than 5% of the NO concentration). The NO analyser
shall be in the NO mode so that the calibration gas does not pass through the
converter. The indicated concentration shall be recorded.
4.2.3.4.4.1.2. Via a T-fitting, oxygen or synthetic air shall be added continuously to the calibration
gas flow until the concentration indicated is approximately 10% less than the
indicated calibration concentration given in Paragraph 4.2.3.4.4.1.1 above. The
indicated concentration (c) shall be recorded. The ozonator shall be kept deactivated
throughout this process.
4.2.3.4.4.1.3. The ozonator shall now be activated to generate enough ozone to bring the NO
concentration down to 20% (minimum 10%) of the calibration concentration given in
Paragraph 4.2.3.4.4.1.1 of this Annex. The indicated concentration (d) shall be
recorded.
4.2.3.4.4.1.4. The NO analyser shall then be switched to the NO mode, whereby the gas mixture
(consisting of NO, NO , O and N ) now passes through the converter. The indicated
concentration (a) shall be recorded.
4.2.3.4.4.1.5. The ozonator shall now be deactivated. The mixture of gases described in
Paragraph 4.2.3.4.4.1.2 of this Annex shall pass through the converter into the
detector. The indicated concentration (b) shall be recorded.
4.2.3.5.1. Flow Meter Calibration
The responsible authority shall check that a calibration certificate has been issued for
the flow meter demonstrating compliance with a traceable standard within a 12-month
period prior to the test, or since any repair or change which could influence
calibration.
4.2.3.5.2. Microbalance Calibration
The responsible authority shall check that a calibration certificate has been issued for
the microbalance demonstrating compliance with a traceable standard within a
12-month period prior to the test.
4.2.3.5.3. Reference Filter Weighing
To determine the specific reference filter weights, at least two unused reference filters
shall be weighed within 8h of, but preferably at the same time as, the sample filter
weighing. Reference filters shall be of the same size and material as the sample filter.
If the specific weight of any reference filter changes by more than ±5μg between
sample filter weighings, the sample filter and reference filters shall be reconditioned in
the weighing room and then reweighed.
This shall be based on a comparison of the specific weight of the reference filter and
the rolling average of that filter's specific weights.
The rolling average shall be calculated from the specific weights collected in the
period since the reference filters were placed in the weighing room. The averaging
period shall be between one day and 30 days.
Multiple reconditioning and re-weighings of the sample and reference filters are
permitted up to 80h after the measurement of gases from the emissions test.
If, within this period, more than half the reference filters meet the ±5μg criterion, the
sample filter weighing can be considered valid.
If, at the end of this period, two reference filters are used and one filter fails to meet
the ±5μg criterion, the sample filter weighing may be considered valid provided that
the sum of the absolute differences between specific and rolling averages from the
two reference filters is no more than 10μg.
If fewer than half of the reference filters meet the ±5μg criterion, the sample filter shall
be discarded and the emissions test repeated. All reference filters shall be discarded
and replaced within 48h.
In all other cases, reference filters shall be replaced at least every 30 days and in
such a manner that no sample filter is weighed without comparison with a reference
filter that has been in the weighing room for at least one day.
If the weighing room stability criteria outlined in Paragraph 3.4.3.10.1.3.4 are not met
but the reference filter weighings meet the criteria listed in Paragraph 4.2.3.5.3, the
vehicle manufacturer has the option of accepting the sample filter weights or voiding
the tests, fixing the weighing room control system and re-running the test.
4.2.4. Test Vehicle Preconditioning
4.2.4.1. The test vehicle shall be moved to the test area and the following operations
performed:
The fuel tanks shall be drained through the drains of the fuel tanks provided and
charged with the test fuel requirement as specified in Appendix 2 to Annex 4 to half
the capacity of the tanks.
The test vehicle shall be placed, either by being driven or pushed, on a dynamometer
and operated through the applicable test cycle as specified for the vehicle (sub-)
category in Appendix 12 to Annex 4. The vehicle need not be cold, and may be used
to set dynamometer power.
4.2.4.2. Practice runs over the prescribed driving schedule may be performed at test points,
provided an emission sample is not taken, for the purpose of finding the minimum
throttle action to maintain the proper vehicle speed-time relationship, or to permit
sampling system adjustments.
4.2.4.3. Within 5min of completion of preconditioning, the test vehicle shall be removed from
the dynamometer and may be driven or pushed to the soak area to be parked. The
vehicle shall be stored for between 6 and 36h prior to the cold start Test Type I or
until the engine oil temperature T or the coolant temperature T or the sparkplug
seat/gasket temperature T (only for air-cooled engine) equals the air temperature of

4.2.4.5. At the request of the manufacturer, vehicles fitted with indirect injection
positive-ignition engines may be preconditioned with one Part One, one Part Two and
two Part Three driving cycles, if applicable, from the WMTC.
In a test facility where a test on a low particulate emitting vehicle could be
contaminated by residue from a previous test on a high particulate emitting vehicle, it
is recommended that, in order to pre-condition the sampling equipment, the low
particulate emitting vehicle undergo a 20min 120km/h steady state drive cycle or at
70% of the maximum design vehicle speed for vehicles not capable of attaining
120km/h followed by three consecutive Part Two or Part Three WMTC cycles, if
feasible.
After this preconditioning, and before testing, vehicles shall be kept in a room in which
the temperature remains relatively constant at 25 ± 5°C. This conditioning shall be
carried out for at least 6h and continue until the engine oil temperature and coolant, if
any, are within ±2.0°C of the temperature of the room.
If the manufacturer so requests, the test shall be carried out not later than 30h after
the vehicle has been run at its normal temperature.
4.2.5.1.8. If the test vehicle does not start during the warm start after 10s of cranking or ten
cycles of the manual starting mechanism, cranking shall cease, the test shall be
voided, the vehicle removed from the dynamometer, corrective action taken and the
vehicle rescheduled for test. The reason for the malfunction (if determined) and the
corrective action taken shall be reported.

procedure (such as resetting the choke, etc.)
4.2.5.2. Stalling
4.2.5.2.1. If the engine stalls during an idle period, it shall be restarted immediately and the test
continued. If it cannot be started soon enough to allow the vehicle to follow the next
acceleration as prescribed, the driving schedule indicator shall be stopped. When the
vehicle restarts, the driving schedule indicator shall be reactivated.
4.2.5.2.2. If the engine stalls during some operating mode other than idle, the driving schedule
indicator shall be stopped, the test vehicle restarted and accelerated to the vehicle
speed required at that point in the driving schedule, and the test continued. During
acceleration to this point, gearshifts shall be performed in accordance with
Paragraph 3.4.5.
4.2.5.2.3. If the test vehicle will not restart within 1min, the test shall be voided, the vehicle
removed from the dynamometer, corrective action taken and the vehicle rescheduled
for test. The reason for the malfunction (if determined) and the corrective action taken
shall be reported.
4.2.6. Drive Instructions
4.2.6.1. In case of multi-mode vehicles, the vehicle shall be tested in the worst case based on
the different tailpipe emissions. It may be in one mode or more than one mode. The
decision for the worst case will be based on the documentation provided by the
vehicle manufacturers and mutually agreed by the responsible authority.
4.2.6.2. The test vehicle shall be driven with minimum throttle movement to maintain the
desired vehicle speed. No simultaneous use of brake and throttle shall be permitted.
4.2.6.3. If the test vehicle cannot accelerate at the specified rate, it shall be operated with the
throttle fully opened until the roller speed (actual vehicle speed) reaches the value
prescribed for that time in the driving schedule.

p
p
is the mean ambient pressure during the test, in kPa;
is the reference ambient pressure (101.3kPa);
T is the mean ambient temperature during test, in K;
T
is the reference ambient temperature 20°C.
3. CONDITION OF THE TEST VEHICLE
3.1. The test vehicle shall comply with the conditions described in Paragraph 1.1 of Appendix 6 to
Annex 4.
3.2. When installing the measuring instruments on the test vehicle, care shall be taken to minimise
their effects on the distribution of the load across the wheels. When installing the vehicle speed
sensor outside the vehicle, care shall be taken to minimise the additional aerodynamic loss.
3.3. Checks
The following checks shall be made in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications for
the use considered: wheels, wheel rims, tyres (make, type and pressure), front axle geometry,
brake adjustment (elimination of parasitic drag), lubrication of front and rear axles, adjustment
of the suspension and vehicle ground clearance, etc. Check that during freewheeling, there is
no electrical braking.
4. SPECIFIED COAST-DOWN VEHICLE SPEEDS
4.1. The coast-down times shall be measured between v and v as specified in Table A4.App5a/1,
depending on the vehicle class as defined in Paragraph 3 of this Regulation.
5. MEASUREMENT OF COAST-DOWN TIME
5.1. After a warm-up period, the vehicle shall be accelerated to the coast-down starting vehicle
speed, at which point the coast-down measurement procedure shall be started.
5.2. Since shifting the transmission to neutral can be dangerous and complicated by the
construction of the vehicle, the coasting may be performed solely with the clutch disengaged.
Vehicles that have no means of cutting the transmitted engine power off prior to coasting may
be towed until they reach the coast-down starting vehicle speed. When the coast-down test is
reproduced on the chassis dynamometer, the drive train and clutch shall be in the same
condition as during the road test.
5.3. The vehicle steering shall be altered as little as possible and the brakes shall not be operated
until the end of the coast-down measurement period.
5.4. The first coast-down time Δt corresponding to the specified vehicle speed v shall be
measured as the time taken for the vehicle to decelerate from v + Δv to v - Δv.
5.5. The procedure described in Paragraphs 5.1 to 5.4 shall be repeated in the opposite direction to
measure the second coast-down time Δt .
5.6. The average Δt of the two coast-down times Δt and Δt shall be calculated using the following
equation:
5.7. At least four tests shall be performed and the average coast-down time ΔT calculated using the
following equation:
(2)
5.8. Tests shall be performed until the statistical accuracy P is equal to or less than 3% (P ≤ 3%).
The statistical accuracy P (as a percentage) is calculated using the following equation:
(3)
where:
(4)
t
s
is the coefficient given in Table A4.App5a/2;
is the standard deviation given by the following formula:
6. DATA PROCESSING
6.1. Calculation of Running Resistance Force
6.1.1. The running resistance force F , in Newton, at the specified vehicle speed vj shall be calculated
using the following equation:
where:
m = reference mass (kg);
Δv = vehicle speed deviation (km/h);
Δt = calculated coast down time difference (s);
6.1.2. The running resistance force F shall be corrected in accordance with Paragraph 6.2.
6.2. Running Resistance Curve Fitting
The running resistance force F shall be calculated as follows:
6.2.1. The following equation shall be fitted to the data set of v and F obtained in Paragraphs 4 and
6.1 respectively by linear regression to determine the coefficients f and f ,
F = f + f � v (7)
6.2.2. The coefficients f and f thus determined shall be corrected to the standard ambient conditions
using the following equations:
(6)
(8)
where:
K shall be determined on the basis of the empirical data for the particular vehicle and tyre tests
or shall be assumed as follows, if the information is not available: K = 610 K .
6.3. Target Running Resistance Force F* for Chassis Dynamometer Setting
The target running resistance force F*(v ) on the chassis dynamometer at the reference vehicle
speed v , in Newton, is determined using the following equation:

3.1.1. Measurement Equipment and Accuracy
The margin of measurement error shall be less than 0.1s for time and less than ±0.5km/h for
speed. Bring the vehicle and the chassis dynamometer to the stabilised operating
temperature, in order to approximate the road conditions.
3.1.2. Test Procedure
3.1.2.1. Accelerate the vehicle to a speed of 5km/h greater than the speed at which test
measurement begins.
3.1.2.2. Put the gearbox to neutral or disconnect the power supply.
3.1.2.3. Measure the time t1 taken by the vehicle to decelerate from:
v2 = v + Δ v (km/h) to v1 = v - Δ v (km/h)
where:
Δ v < 5km/h for nominal vehicle speed < 50km/h;
Δ v < 10km/h for nominal vehicle speed > 50km/h.
3.1.2.4. Carry out the same test in the opposite direction, measuring time t2.
3.1.2.5. Take the average ti of the two times t1 and t2.
where:
m = reference mass (kg);
∆v = vehicle speed deviation (km/h);
∆t = calculated coast-down time difference (s);

3.2.2.7. The power P a to be absorbed by the bench shall be determined in order to enable the
same total road load power to be reproduced for the same vehicle on different days or on
different chassis dynamometers of the same type.
1.2.4. In the case of a dynamometer with a fixed load curve, the accuracy of the load setting at
80km/h or of the load setting at the reference vehicle speeds (30km/h, respectively 15km/h)
referred to in Paragraph 1.1.3.1 for vehicles that cannot attain 80km/h, shall be ± 5%. In the
case of a dynamometer with adjustable load curve, the accuracy of matching dynamometer
load to road load shall be ± 5% for vehicle speeds > 20km/h and ± 10% for vehicle speeds
≤ 20km/h. Below this vehicle speed, dynamometer absorption shall be positive.
1.2.5. The total inertia of the rotating parts (including the simulated inertia where applicable) shall be
known and shall be within ± 10kg of the inertia class for the test.
1.2.6. The speed of the vehicle shall be measured by the speed of rotation of the roller (the front roller
in the case of a two-roller dynamometer from which the actual speed of the vehicle is
calculated). It shall be measured with an accuracy of ± 1km/h at vehicle speeds over 10km/h.
The distance actually driven by the vehicle shall be measured by the movement of rotation of
the roller (the front roller in the case of a two-roller dynamometer).
2. DYNAMOMETER CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
2.1. Introduction
This section describes the method to be used to determine the load absorbed by a
dynamometer brake. The load absorbed comprises the load absorbed by frictional effects and
the load absorbed by the power-absorption device. The dynamometer is brought into operation
beyond the range of test vehicle speeds. The device used for starting up the dynamometer is
then disconnected; the rotational speed of the driven roller decreases. The kinetic energy of the
rollers is dissipated by the power-absorption unit and by the frictional effects. This method
disregards variations in the roller's internal frictional effects caused by rollers with or without the
vehicle. The frictional effects of the rear roller shall be disregarded when the roller is free.
2.2. Calibration of the Load Indicator at 80km/h or of the Load Indicator referred to in
Paragraph 1.1.3.1 for Vehicles that Cannot Attain 80km/h
The following procedure shall be used for calibration of the load indicator to 80km/h or the
applicable load indicator referred to in Paragraph 1.1.3.1 for vehicles that cannot attain 80km/h,
as a function of the load absorbed (see also Figure A4.App6/1):
2.2.1. Measure the rotational speed of the roller if this has not already been done. A fifth wheel, a
revolution counter or some other method may be used.
2.2.2. Place the vehicle on the dynamometer or devise some other method for starting up the
dynamometer.
2.2.3. Use the flywheel or any other system of inertia simulation for the particular inertia class to be
used.
2.2.11. Calculate the load absorbed using the formula:
(2)
where:
F = load absorbed (N);
m = equivalent inertia in kg (excluding the inertial effects of the free rear roller);
Δv = vehicle speed deviation in m/s (10km/h = 2.775m/s);
Δt
=
time taken by the roller to pass from 85km/h to 75km/h, or for vehicles that cannot
attain 80km/h from 35 – 25km/h, respectively from 20 – 10km/h, referred to in
Table A4.App5a/2 of Appendix 5a to Annex 4 or Table A4.App5b/2 of Appendix 5b
to Annex 4 as applicable.
2.2.12. Figure A4.App6/2 shows the load indicated at 80km/h in terms of load absorbed at 80km/h.
Figure A4.App6/2
Load Indicated at 80km/h in Terms of Load Absorbed at 80km/h
2.2.13. The requirements laid down in Paragraphs 2.2.3 to 2.2.12 shall be repeated for all inertia
classes to be used.
2.3. Calibration of the Load Indicator at Other Vehicle Speeds
The procedures described in Paragraph 2.2 shall be repeated as often as necessary for the
chosen vehicle speeds.
2.4. Calibration of Force or Torque
The same procedure shall be used for force or torque calibration.
Note: An explanation of this formula with reference to dynamometers with mechanically
simulated inertia is appended.
Thus, total inertia is expressed as follows:
I = I + F / � (4)
where:
I
F
�
can be calculated or measured by traditional methods;
can be measured on the dynamometer;
can be calculated from the peripheral rotation speed of the rollers.
The total inertia (I) will be determined during an acceleration or deceleration test with values no
lower than those obtained on an operating cycle.
4.2.2. Specification for the Calculation of Total Inertia
The test and calculation methods shall make it possible to determine the total inertia I with a
relative error (ΔI/I) of less than ± 2%.
4.3. Specification
4.3.1. The mass of the simulated total inertia I shall remain the same as the theoretical value of the
equivalent inertia (see Appendix 4 to Annex 4) within the following limits:
4.3.1.1. ± 5% of the theoretical value for each instantaneous value;
4.3.1.2. ± 2% of the theoretical value for the average value calculated for each sequence of the cycle.
The limit specified in Paragraph 4.3.1.1 is brought to ± 50% for 1s when starting and, for
vehicles with manual transmission, for 2s during gear changes.
4.4. Verification Procedure
4.4.1. Verification is carried out during each test throughout the test cycles defined in Appendix 12 to
Annex 4.
4.4.2. However, if the requirements laid down in Paragraph 4.3 are met, with instantaneous
accelerations which are at least three times greater or smaller than the values obtained in the
sequences of the theoretical cycle, the verification described in Paragraph 4.4.1 will not be
necessary.
1.3. Specific Requirements
1.3.1. Connection to Vehicle Exhaust
The connecting tube between the vehicle exhaust outlets and the dilution system shall be as
short as possible and satisfy the following requirements:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
the tube shall be less than 3.6m long, or less than 6.1m long if heat insulated. Its internal
diameter may not exceed 105mm;
it shall not cause the static pressure at the exhaust outlets on the test vehicle to differ by
more than ± 0.75kPa at 50km/h, or more than ± 1.25kPa for the whole duration of the
test, from the static pressures recorded when nothing is connected to the vehicle
exhaust outlets. The pressure shall be measured in the exhaust outlet or in an extension
having the same diameter, as near as possible to the end of the pipe. Sampling systems
capable of maintaining the static pressure to within ± 0.25kPa may be used if a written
request from a manufacturer to the technical service substantiates the need for the
closer tolerance;
it shall not change the nature of the exhaust gas;
any elastomeric connectors employed shall be as thermally stable as possible and have
minimum exposure to the exhaust gases.
1.3.2. Dilution Air Conditioning
The dilution air used for the primary dilution of the exhaust in the CVS tunnel shall be passed
through a medium capable of reducing particles in the most penetrating particle size of the filter
material by ≥ 99.95%, or through a filter of at least Class H13 of EN 1822:1998. This
represents the specification of High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters. The dilution air
may be charcoal scrubbed before being passed to the HEPA filter. It is recommended that an
additional coarse particle filter is situated before the HEPA filter and after the charcoal
scrubber, if used. At the vehicle manufacturer's request, the dilution air may be sampled
according to good engineering practice to determine the tunnel contribution to background
particulate mass levels, which can then be subtracted from the values measured in the diluted
exhaust.
1.3.3. Dilution Tunnel
Provision shall be made for the vehicle exhaust gases and the dilution air to be mixed. A mixing
orifice may be used. In order to minimise the effects on the conditions at the exhaust outlet and
to limit the drop in pressure inside the dilution-air conditioning device, if any, the pressure at the
mixing point shall not differ by more than ± 0.25kPa from atmospheric pressure. The
homogeneity of the mixture in any cross-section at the location of the sampling probe shall not
vary by more than ± 2% from the average of the values obtained for at least five points located
at equal intervals on the diameter of the gas stream. For particulate and particle emissions
sampling, a dilution tunnel shall be used which:
(a)
shall consist of a straight tube of electrically-conductive material, which shall be earthed;
(b) shall be small enough in diameter to cause turbulent flow (Reynolds number ≥ 4,000)
and of sufficient length to cause complete mixing of the exhaust and dilution air;
(c)
(d)
shall be at least 200mm in diameter;
may be insulated.
The positive displacement pump (PDP) full-flow dilution system satisfies the requirements of
this Annex by metering the flow of gas through the pump at constant temperature and
pressure. The total volume is measured by counting the revolutions of the calibrated positive
displacement pump. The proportional sample is achieved by sampling with pump, flow meter
and flow control valve at a constant flow rate. The collecting equipment consists of:
1.4.1.1. A filter (refer to DAF in Figure A4.App7/1) for the dilution air shall be installed, which can be
preheated if necessary. This filter shall consist of the following filters in sequence: an optional
activated charcoal filter (inlet side) and a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter (outlet
side). It is recommended that an additional coarse particle filter is situated before the HEPA
filter and after the charcoal filter, if used. The purpose of the charcoal filter is to reduce and
stabilise the hydrocarbon concentrations of ambient emissions in the dilution air;
1.4.1.2. A transfer tube (TT) by which vehicle exhaust is admitted into a dilution tunnel (DT) in which the
exhaust gas and dilution air are mixed homogeneously;
1.4.1.3. The positive displacement pump (PDP), producing a constant-volume flow of the air/
exhaust-gas mixture. The PDP revolutions, together with associated temperature and pressure
measurement, are used to determine the flow rate;
1.4.1.4. A heat exchanger (HE) of a capacity sufficient to ensure that throughout the test the
temperature of the air/exhaust-gas mixture measured at a point immediately upstream of the
positive displacement pump is within 6.0°C of the average operating temperature during the
test. This device shall not affect the pollutant concentrations of diluted gases taken off
afterwards for analysis.
1.4.1.5. A mixing chamber (MC) in which exhaust gas and air are mixed homogeneously and which
may be located close to the vehicle so that the length of the transfer tube (TT) is minimised.

Critical-flow Venturi Dilution System
2.2. Calibration of the Positive Displacement Pump (PDP)
2.2.1. The following calibration procedure outlines the equipment, the test configuration and the
various parameters that are measured to establish the flow-rate of the CVS pump. All the
parameters relating to the pump are simultaneously measured with the parameters relating to
the flow-meter which is connected in series with the pump. The calculated flow rate (given in
m /min at pump inlet, absolute pressure and temperature) can then be plotted against a
correlation function that is the value of a specific combination of pump parameters. The linear
equation that relates the pump flow and the correlation function is then determined. If a CVS
has a multiple rotation speed drive, a calibration shall be performed for each range used.
2.2.2. This calibration procedure is based on the measurement of the absolute values of the pump
and flow-meter parameters that relate to the flow rate at each point. Three conditions shall be
maintained to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the calibration curve:
2.2.2.1. The pump pressures shall be measured at tappings on the pump rather than at the external
piping on the pump inlet and outlet. Pressure taps that are mounted at the top centre and
bottom centre of the pump drive head plate are exposed to the actual pump cavity pressures
and therefore reflect the absolute pressure differentials;
2.2.2.2. Temperature stability shall be maintained during the calibration. The laminar flow-meter is
sensitive to inlet temperature oscillations which cause the data points to be scattered. Gradual
changes of ± 1°C in temperature are acceptable as long as they occur over a period of several
minutes;
2.2.2.3. All connections between the flow-meter and the CVS pump shall be free of any leakage.
2.2.3. During an exhaust emission test, the measurement of these same pump parameters enables
the user to calculate the flow rate from the calibration equation.
2.2.4. Figure A4.App7/3 of this Appendix shows one possible test set-up. Variations are permissible,
provided that the technical service approves them as being of comparable accuracy. If the
set-up shown in Figure A4.App7/3 is used, the following data shall be found within the limits of
precision given:
Barometric pressure (corrected) (Pb) ± 0.03kPa
Ambient temperature (T) ± 0.2°C
Air temperature at LFE (ETI) ± 0.15°C
Pressure depression upstream of LFE (EPI) ± 0.01kPa
Pressure drop across the LFE matrix (EDP) ± 0.0015kPa
Air temperature at CVS pump inlet (PTI) ± 0.2°C
Air temperature at CVS pump outlet (PTO) ± 0.2°C
Pressure depression at CVS pump inlet (PPI) ± 0.22kPa
Pressure head at CVS pump outlet (PPO) ± 0.22kPa
Pump revolutions during test period (n) ± 1min
Elapsed time for period (minimum 250s) (t) ± 0.1s
2.2.9. To compensate for the interaction of pump rotation speed pressure variations at the pump and
the pump slip rate, the correlation function (x ) between the pump rotation speed (n), the
pressure differential from pump inlet to pump outlet, and the absolute pump outlet pressure is
calculated as follows:
where:
x = correlation function;
ΔP = pressure differential from pump inlet to pump outlet (kPa);
P = absolute outlet pressure (PPO + Pb) (kPa).
2.2.9.1. A linear least-square fit is performed to generate the calibration equations which have the
formula:
(2)
V = D - M (x )
n = A - B (ΔP )
(3)
D , M, A and B are the slope-intercept constants describing the lines.
2.2.10. A CVS system that has multiple pump rotation speeds shall be calibrated on each rotation
speed used. The calibration curves generated for the ranges shall be approximately parallel
and the intercept values (D ) shall increase as the pump flow range decreases.
2.2.11. If the calibration has been performed carefully, the calculated values from the equation will be
within 0.5% of the measured value of V . Values of M will vary from one pump to another.
Calibration is performed at pump start-up and after major maintenance.
2.3. Calibration of the Critical-flow Venturi (CFV)
2.3.1. Calibration of the CFV is based on the flow equation for a critical-flow venturi:
(4)
where:
Q
=
flow;
K
=
calibration coefficient;
P
=
absolute pressure (kPa);
T
=
absolute temperature (K).
2.3.5. The variable-flow restrictor shall be set to the open position, the blower shall be started and the
system stabilised. Data from all instruments shall be recorded.
2.3.6. The flow restrictor shall be varied and at least eight readings shall be taken across the critical
flow range of the venturi.
2.3.7. The data recorded during the calibration shall be used in the following calculations. The air
flow-rate (Qs) at each test point is calculated from the flow-meter data using the manufacturer's
prescribed method. Calculate values of the calibration coefficient (Kv) for each test point:
where:
Q = flow-rate in m /min at 0°C and 101.3kPa;
T = temperature at the venturi inlet, Kelvin (K);
P = absolute pressure at the venturi inlet (kPa).
Plot K as a function of venturi inlet pressure. For sonic flow, K will have a relatively constant
value. As pressure decreases (vacuum increases), the venturi becomes unchoked and K
decreases. The resultant K changes are not permissible. For a minimum of eight points in the
critical region, calculate an average K and the standard deviation. If the standard deviation
exceeds 0.3% of the average K , take corrective action.
3. SYSTEM VERIFICATION PROCEDURE
3.1. General Requirements
The total accuracy of the CVS sampling system and analytical system shall be determined by
introducing a known mass of a pollutant gas into the system while it is being operated as if
during a normal test and then analysing and calculating the pollutant mass according to the
formula in Paragraph 4, except that the density of propane shall be taken as 1.967g/l at
standard conditions. The two techniques described in Paragraphs 3.2 and 3.3 are known to
give sufficient accuracy. The maximum permissible deviation between the quantity of gas
introduced and the quantity of gas measured is 5%.
3.2. CFO Method
3.2.1. Metering a Constant Flow of Pure Gas (CO or C H ) using a Critical-flow Orifice Device
3.2.2. A known quantity of pure gas (CO or C H ) is fed into the CVS system through the calibrated
critical orifice. If the inlet pressure is high enough, the flow-rate (q), which is adjusted by means
of the critical-flow orifice, is independent of orifice outlet pressure (critical flow). If deviations
exceeding 5% occur, the cause of the malfunction shall be determined and corrected. The CVS
system is operated as in an exhaust emission test for about 5 to 10min. The gas collected in
the sampling bag is analysed by the usual equipment and the results compared to the
concentration of the gas samples which was known beforehand.

2.4. In order to find a balanced compromise between the three regions, a new approximation
function for normalised upshift engine speeds versus power-to-mass ratio was calculated as a
weighted average of the EU/USA curve (with 2/3 weighting) and the Japanese curve (with 1/3
weighting), resulting in the following equations for normalised upshift engine speeds:
Equation (1): Normalised upshift engine speed in 1st gear (gear 1)
P
n_max_acc (1) = (0.5753 � e ( �1.9
� )
m � 75
� 0.1) � (s � n ) + n (1)
Equation (2): Normalised upshift engine speed in gears > 1
P
n_max_acc (i) = (0.5753 � e ( �1.9
� ) ) � (s � n
m � 75
) + n

Figure A4.App13/1 shows an example of gearshift use for a small vehicle:
(a)
(b)
(c)
the lines in bold show the gear use for acceleration phases;
the dotted lines show the downshift points for deceleration phases;
in the cruising phases, the whole engine speed range between downshift engine speed
and upshift engine speed may be used.

3.3. In order to allow the technical service more flexibility and to ensure driveability, the gearshift
regression functions should be considered as lower limits. Higher engine speeds are permitted
in any cycle phase.
5. CALCULATION EXAMPLE
5.1. An example of input data necessary for the calculation of shift engine speeds is shown in
Table A4.App13/2. The upshift engine speeds for acceleration phases for first gear and higher
gears are calculated using Equations (1) and (2). The denormalisation of engine speeds can be
performed using the equation n = n_norm x (s - n ) + n .
5.2. The downshift engine speeds for deceleration phases can be calculated using Equations (3)
and (4). The ndv values in Table A4.App13/2 can be used as gear ratios. These values can
also be used to calculate the corresponding vehicle speeds (vehicle shift speed in
gear i = engine shift speed in gear i/ndv ). The results are shown in Tables A4.App13/3 and
A4.App13/4.
5.3. Additional analyses and calculations were conducted to investigate whether these gearshift
algorithms could be simplified and, in particular, whether engine shift speeds could be replaced
by vehicle shift speeds. The analysis showed that vehicle speeds could not be brought in line
with the gearshift behaviour of the in-use data.
