Appendix 1 Verification of conformity of production for Type 1 test—statistical method

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

F11.

This Appendix describes the procedure to be used to verify the production conformity requirements for the Type 1 test for pollutants/CO 2 , including conformity requirements for PEVs and OVC-HEVs, and to monitor the OBFCM device accuracy.

2.

Measurements of the pollutants specified in Table 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, and the emission of CO 2 shall be carried out on a minimum number of 3 vehicles, and consecutively increase until a pass or fail decision is reached. The OBFCM device accuracy shall be determined for each of the N tests.

From the number of N tests: x1, x2, … xN, the average Xtests and the variance VAR are to be determined from all N measurements:

Xtests=x1+ x2+ x3+ …+ xN∕N

and

VAR=x1− Xtests2+x2− Xtests2+ …+xN− Xtests2∕N− 1

3.

For each number of tests, one of the three following decisions (see (i) to ((iii) below) can be reached for pollutants based on the limit value L for each pollutant, the average of all N tests: Xtests, the variance of the test results VAR and the number of tests N:

  1. (i)

    Pass the family if Xtests<A× L− VAR∕L

  2. (ii)

    Fail the family if Xtests>A× L−N− 3∕13× VAR∕L

  3. (iii)

    Take another measurement if:

    A × L − VAR∕L≤Xtests≤A × L −N − 3∕13× VAR ∕ L

For the measurement of pollutants the factor A is set at 1,05 in order to take into account inaccuracies in the measurements.

4.

For CO2 and EC the normalised values for CO2 and EC shall be used:

xi=CO2test− i∕CO2declared.
xi=ECtest− i∕ECDC, COP

In the case of CO2 and EC the factor A is set at 1.01 and the value for L is set at 1. So in the case of CO2 and EC the criteria are simplified to:

  1. (i)

    Pass the family if Xtests<A− VAR

  2. (ii)

    Fail the family if Xtests>A−N− 3∕13× VAR

  3. (iii)

    Take another measurement if:

    A − VAR≤Xtests≤A −N − 3∕13× VAR

For vehicles referred to in Article 4a, the accuracy of the OBFCM device shall be calculated as follows:

x i,OBFCM
  • accuracy of the OBFCM device determined for each single test i in accordance with the formulae point 4.2 of Annex XXII.

  • The Type Approval authority shall keep a record of the determined accuracies for each COP family tested.
