Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

  1. (a)

    point 2.3.1 is replaced by the following:

    ‘2.3.1.

    Any vehicle with an emission control computer shall include features to prevent modification, except as authorised by the manufacturer. The manufacturer shall authorise modifications if these modifications are necessary for the diagnosis, servicing, inspection, retrofitting or repair of the vehicle. Any reprogrammable computer codes or operating parameter shall be resistant to tampering and afford a level of protection at least as good as the provisions in ISO 15031-7; dated 15 March 2001 (SAE J2186 dated October 1996). Any removable calibration memory chips shall be potted, encased in a sealed container or protected by electronic algorithms and shall not be changeable without the use of specialised tools and procedures. Only features directly associated with emissions calibration or prevention of vehicle theft may be so protected.’;

  2. (b)

    Figure I.2.4 is replaced by the following:

    Application of test requirements for type approval and extensions

    Where a bi fuel vehicle is combined with a flex fuel vehicle, both test requirements are applicable.

    This provision is temporary, further requirements for biodiesel and hydrogen shall be proposed later on.

    Test on petrol only before the dates set out in Article 10(6) of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007. The test will be performed on both fuels after these dates. The E75 test reference fuel specified in Annex IX Section B shall be used.
