ANNEX IVSupplementary provisions

ANNEX IV Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2017/2400 is amended as follows: (1) in point 3.1.5, point (4) is replaced by the following: ‘(4) The engine coolant flow rate (or alternatively the pressure difference across the engine side of the heat exchanger) and the engine coolant temperature shall be set to a value representative for in-vehicle application at reference ambient conditions when the engine is operated at rated speed and full load with the engine thermostat in fully open position. This setting defines the coolant reference temperature. For all testruns performed for the purpose of certification of one specific engine within one engine CO 2 -family, the cooling system setting shall not be changed, neither on the engine side nor on the test bed side of the cooling system. The temperature of the test bed side cooling medium shall be kept reasonably constant by good engineering judgement. The cooling medium on the test bed side of the heat exchanger shall not exceed the nominal thermostat opening temperatur downstream of the heat exchanger.’; (2) point 3.2 is amended as follows: (a) the fifth paragraph is replaced by the following: ‘The mean value of the two separate NCV that are not deviating by more than 440 Joule per gram fuel shall be documented in MJ/kg rounded to 2 places to the right of the decimal point in accordance with ASTM E 29-06.’; (b) the following paragraph is added: ‘For gas fuels, switches between fuel tanks of different production batches are allowed exceptionally; in that case, the NCV of each used fuel batch should be calculated and the highest value should be documented.’ (c) in Table 1, the last row ‘Natural gas/PI’ is replaced by the following: ‘Natural gas/PI G 25 or G R ISO 6976 or ASTM 3588’ (3) in point 4.3.5.2.1, the seventh paragraph is replaced by the following: ‘The 6 additional target engine speed setpoints shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions: (1) If dn 44 is smaller than or equal to (dn 35  + 5) and also smaller than or equal to (dn 53  + 5), the 6 additional target engine speeds shall be determined by dividing each of the two ranges, one from n idle to n A and the other from n B to n 95h , into 4 equidistant sections.

The engine idle speed, n idle , of the CO 2 -parent engine as declared by the manufacturer at the application for certification in the information document in accordance with point 3.2.1.6 of Appendix 2 to this Annex shall be equal or lower than for all other engines within the same CO 2 -family.’; (10) Appendix 4 is amended as follows: (a) point 4 is amended as follows: (i) the first paragraph is replaced by the following: ‘The minimum number of engines to be tested for each engine CO 2 -family, n COP,min , shall be determined by dividing n COP,base by n COP,fam , both values determined in accordance with point 2.
