  • Vehicles tested with the Type 4 test shall be at least 12 months of age.

  • The canister shall be considered aged and therefore the Canister Bench Ageing procedure shall not be followed.

  • The canister shall be loaded outside the vehicle, following the procedure described for this purpose in Annex VI and shall be removed and mounted to the vehicle following the repair instructions of the manufacturer. An FID sniff test (with results less than 100 ppm at 20 °C) shall be made as close as possible to the canister before and after the loading to confirm that the canister is mounted properly.

  • The tank shall be considered aged and therefore no Permeability Factor shall be added in the calculation of the result of the Type 4 test.
