ANNEXSupplementary provisions

ANNEX (1) Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 is amended as follows: (a) in point 1.1.2 the introductory sentence is replaced by the following: ‘If the manufacturer permits the engine family to run on market fuels that do not comply either with Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council ( *1 ) , or with CEN standard EN 228:2012 in the case of unleaded petrol or CEN standard EN 590:2013 in the case of diesel or CEN standard EN 14214:2012+A2:2019 in the case of FAME B100, such as paraffinic fuel (CEN standard EN 15940) or others, the manufacturer shall, in addition to the requirements in point 1.1.1, comply with the following requirements: ( *1 ) Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 1998 relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuels and amending Council Directive 93/12/EEC ( OJ L 350, 28.12.1998, p. 58 ).’;" (b) after point 1.3 the following point is added: ‘1.4. Requirements on B100 type-approval 1.4.1. The type-approval of a B100 family with a parent engine tested on FAME B100 shall be extended to all family members and biodiesel blends with a FAME content that exceeds that of FAME B30 (CEN standard EN 16709), without further testing. The type-approval may be extended to biodiesel blends with a lower FAME content, if the requirements of this regulation are also satisfied for these blends without making any adjustments to the vehicle. In such a case the manufacturer shall declare the biodiesel blends the engine family is capable of running on in point 3.2.2.2.1 of the Information Document as set out in Part 1 of Appendix 4. If the approval authority determines that the submitted application is not fully representative, biodiesel blends other than FAME B100 may be selected by the approval authority and tested.’; (c) the following point 3.2.1.7 is inserted: ‘3.2.1.7. In the case of a B100 type-approval, the approval mark shall contain ‘B100’ after the national symbol.’; (d) in Appendix 4 PART 1 point 3.2.2.2 is replaced by the following: ‘3.2.2.2. Heavy duty vehicles Diesel/Petrol/LPG/NG-H/NG-L/NG-HL/Ethanol (ED95)/Ethanol (E85)/LNG/LNG 20 /B100 ( 1 ) ( 6 )’; (e) in the Addendum to Appendix 5 point 1.1.5 is replaced by the following: ‘1.1.5. Category of engine: Diesel/Petrol/LPG/NG-H/NG-L/NG-HL/Ethanol (ED95)/Ethanol (E85)/LNG/LNG 20 /B100 ( 1 )’; (f) point 8 of Appendix 6 is replaced by the following: ‘8.
