This number shall be followed by one or more characters reflecting the different categories in accordance with Table 1. These alphabetical characters shall also distinguish the Euro 5 and 6 emission limit values to which the approval was granted.\nTable 1\nKey:\n‘Euro 5a’ emissions standard excludes revised measurement procedure for particulate matter, particle number standard and flex fuel vehicle low temperature emission testing with biofuel;\n‘Euro 5b’ emissions standard Full Euro 5 emission requirements including revised measurement procedure for particulate matter, particle number standard for CI vehicles and flex fuel vehicle low temperature emission testing with biofuel;\n‘Euro 6a’ emissions standard excludes revised measurement procedure for particulate matter, particle number standard and flex fuel vehicle low temperature emission testing with biofuel;\n‘Euro 6b’ emissions standard Euro 6 emission requirements including revised measurement procedure for particulate matter, particle number standards (preliminary values for PI vehicles) and flex fuel vehicle low temperature emission testing with biofuel;\n‘ Euro 6c ’ emissions standard Full Euro 6 emission requirements but without quantitative RDE requirements, i.e. Euro 6b emission standard, final particle number standards for PI vehicles, use of E10 and B7 reference fuel (where applicable) assessed on regulatory lab test cycle and RDE testing for monitoring only (no NTE emission limits applied);\n‘ Euro 6d-TEMP ’ emissions standard Full Euro 6 emission requirements, i.e. Euro 6b emission standard, final particle number standards for PI vehicles, use of E10 and B7 reference fuel (where applicable) assessed on regulatory lab test cycle and RDE testing against temporary conformity factors;\n‘ Euro 6d ’ emissions standard Full Euro 6 emission requirements, i.e. Euro 6b emission standard, final particle number standards for PI vehicles, use of E10 and B7 reference fuel (where applicable) assessed on regulatory lab test cycle and RDE testing against final conformity factors;\n‘Euro 5’ OBD standard Base Euro 5 OBD requirements excluding in use performance ratio (IUPR), NO x monitoring for petrol vehicles and tightened PM threshold limits for diesel;\n‘Euro 5+’ OBD standard includes relaxed in use performance ratio (IUPR), NO x monitoring for petrol vehicles and tightened PM threshold limits for diesel;\n‘Euro 6-’ OBD standard relaxed OBD threshold limits;\n‘Euro 6- plus IUPR’ OBD standard includes relaxed OBD threshold limits and relaxed in use performance ratio (IUPR);\n‘Euro 6-1’ OBD standard Full Euro 6 OBD requirements but with preliminary OBD threshold limits as defined in point 2.3.4 of Annex XI

The approval was granted to the base regulation and an amending regulation in the year 2009 and was issued by Germany:\ne1*715/2007*…/2009C*0004*02",
