# Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/654 of 19 December 2016 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to technical and general requirements relating to emission limits and type-approval for internal combustion engines for non-road mobile machinery, Division 2: Definitions and abbreviations

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

For the purposes of this Annex the following definitions shall apply:
2.1. ‘GER (Gas Energy Ratio)’ has the meaning defined in Article 3(20) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 based on the lower heating value;
2.2. ‘GERcycle’ means the average GER when operating the engine on the applicable engine test cycle;
2.3. ‘Dual-fuel Type 1A engine’ means either:
(a) a dual-fuel engine of a sub-category of NRE 19 ≤ kW ≤ 560, that operates over the hot-start NRTC test-cycle with an average gas energy ratio that is not lower than 90 % (GERNRTC, hot ≥ 0,9) and that does not idle using exclusively liquid fuel, and that has no liquid-fuel mode, or;
(b) a dual-fuel engine of any (sub-) category other than a sub-category of NRE 19 ≤ kW ≤ 560, that operates over the NRSC with an average gas energy ratio that is not lower than 90 % (GERNRSC ≥ 0,9) and that does not idle using exclusively liquid fuel, and that has no liquid-fuel mode;
2.4. ‘Dual-Fuel Type 1B engine’ means either:
(a) a dual-fuel engine of a sub-category of NRE 19 ≤ kW ≤ 560, that operates over the hot-start NRTC test-cycle with an average gas energy ratio that is not lower than 90 % (GERNRTC, hot ≥ 0,9) and that does not idle using exclusively liquid fuel in dual-fuel mode, and that has a liquid-fuel mode, or;
(b) a dual-fuel engine of any (sub-) category other than a sub-category of NRE 19 ≤ kW ≤ 560, that operates over the NRSC with an average gas energy ratio that is not lower than 90 % (GERNRSC ≥ 0,9) and that does not idle using exclusively liquid fuel in dual-fuel mode, and that has a liquid-fuel mode;
2.5. ‘Dual-Fuel Type 2A engine’ means either:
(a) a dual-fuel engine of a sub-category of NRE 19 ≤ kW ≤ 560, that operates over the hot-start NRTC test-cycle with an average gas energy ratio between 10 % and 90 % (0,1 < GERNRTC, hot < 0,9) and that has no liquid-fuel mode or that operates over the hot-start NRTC test-cycle with an average gas energy ratio that is not lower than 90 % (GERNRTC, hot ≥ 0,9), but that idles using exclusively liquid fuel, and that has no liquid-fuel mode, or;
(b) a dual-fuel engine of any (sub-) category other than a sub-category of NRE 19 ≤ kW ≤ 560, that operates over the NRSC with an average gas energy ratio between 10 % and 90 % (0,1 < GERNRSC < 0,9), and that has no liquid-fuel mode or that operates over the NRSC with an average gas energy ratio that is not lower than 90 % (GERNRSC ≥ 0,9), but that idles using exclusively liquid fuel, and that has no liquid-fuel mode;
2.6. ‘Dual-Fuel Type 2B engine’ means either:
(a) a dual-fuel engine of a sub-category of NRE 19 ≤ kW ≤ 560, that operates over the hot-start NRTC test-cycle with an average gas energy ratio between 10 % and 90 % (0,1 < GERNRTC, hot < 0,9) and that has a liquid-fuel mode or that operates over the hot-start NRTC test-cycle with an average gas energy ratio that is not lower than 90 % (GERNRTC, hot ≥ 0,9), and that has a liquid-fuel mode but that can idle using exclusively liquid fuel in dual-fuel mode, or;
(b) a dual-fuel engine of any (sub-) category other than a sub-category of NRE 19 ≤ kW ≤ 560, that operates over the NRSC with an average gas energy ratio between 10 % and 90 % (0,1 < GERNRSC < 0,9), and that has no liquid-fuel mode or that operates over the NRSC with an average gas energy ratio that is not lower than 90 % (GERNRSC ≥ 0,9), and that has a liquid-fuel mode but that can idle using exclusively liquid fuel in dual-fuel mode;
2.7. ‘Dual-Fuel Type 3B engine’ means either:
(a) a dual-fuel engine of a sub-category of NRE 19 ≤ kW ≤ 560, that operates over the hot-start NRTC test-cycle with an average gas energy ratio that does not exceed 10 % (GERNRTC, hot ≤ 0,1) and that has a liquid-fuel mode, or:
(b) a dual-fuel engine of any (sub-) category other than a sub-category of NRE 19 ≤ kW ≤ 560, that operates over the NRSC with an average gas energy ratio that does not exceed 10 % (GERNRSC ≤ 0,1) and that has a liquid-fuel mode;
