Division 2.2.3.1

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

An engine family may cover more than one power range for the same speed operation within the same engine (sub-)category. Consistent with Article 18(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1628, in this case the parent engine (for the purposes of EU type-approval) and all engine types within the same engine family (for the purposes of conformity of production) shall, with respect to the applicable power ranges:

  • meet the most stringent emissions limit values;

  • be tested using the test cycles that correspond to the most stringent emissions limit values;

  • be subject to the earliest applicable dates for EU type-approval and placing on the market set out in Annex III to Regulation (EU) 2016/1628.

In order to maintain, when the engine is installed in the non-road mobile machinery, the principle of Article 18(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1628, the instructions for OEMs set out in Annex XIV to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/654 shall include the statement that the installation shall not permanently constrain an engine to only deliver power within the power range of a sub-category with a more stringent emissions limit than the sub-category in which the engine is type-approved.
