Division 4.2.3.2

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

If the manufacturer wishes to run in the vehicles, (‘x’ km, where x ≤ 3 000 km for vehicles equipped with a positive ignition engine and x ≤ 15 000 km for vehicles equipped with a compression ignition engine), the procedure shall be the following:

  1. (a)

    the pollutant emissions (type 1) shall be measured at zero and at ‘x’ km on the first tested vehicle;

  2. (b)

    the evolution coefficient of the emissions between zero and ‘x’ km shall be calculated for each of the pollutant:

    Emissions ‘x’ km/Emissions zero km

This may be less than 1; and

  1. (c)

    the other vehicles shall not be run in, but their zero km emissions shall be multiplied by the evolution coefficient. In this case, the values to be taken shall be:

    1. (i)

      the values at ‘x’ km for the first vehicle;

    2. (ii)

      the values at zero km multiplied by the evolution coefficient for the other vehicles.
