Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

For engines fuelled with liquefied natural gas/liquefied biomethane (LNG), the parent engine shall meet the requirements of this Regulation on the reference fuels GR (fuel 1) and G20 (fuel 2), as specified in Annex IX, or on the equivalent fuels created using admixtures of pipeline gas with other gases as specified in Appendix 1 of Annex IX, without any manual readjustment to the engine fuelling system between the two tests (self-adaptation is required). One adaptation run is permitted after the change of the fuel. The adaption run shall consist of performing the pre-conditioning for the following emission test according to the respective test cycle. In the case of engines tested on the NRSC, where the pre-conditioning cycle is inadequate for the engine fuelling to self-adapt an alternative adaption run specified by the manufacturer may be performed prior to pre-conditioning the engine.
