  "heading": "Continuous regeneration",
  "text": "For an exhaust after-treatment system based on a continuous regeneration process the emissions shall be measured on an after-treatment system that has been stabilized so as to result in repeatable emissions behaviour. The regeneration process shall occur at least once during the hot-start NRTC, LSI-NRTC or NRSC test, and the manufacturer shall declare the normal conditions under which regeneration occurs (soot load, temperature, exhaust gas back-pressure, etc.). In order to demonstrate that the regeneration process is continuous, at least three hot-start runs of the NRTC, LSI-NRTC or NRSC shall be conducted. In case of hot-start NRTC, the engine shall be warmed up in accordance with point 7.8.2.1, the engine be soaked according to point 7.4.2.1(b) and the first hot-start NRTC.\nThe subsequent hot-start NRTC shall be started after soaking according with point 7.4.2.1(b). During the tests, exhaust gas temperatures and pressures shall be recorded (temperature before and after the exhaust after-treatment system, exhaust gas back-pressure, etc.). The exhaust after-treatment system is considered to be satisfactory if the conditions declared by the manufacturer occur during the test within a sufficient time and the emission results do not scatter by more than ± 25 % from the mean value or 0,005 g/kWh, whichever is greater.",
