(3) The type-approval requirements relating to emissions from motor vehicles have been gradually and significantly tightened through the introduction and subsequent revision of Euro standards. While vehicles in general have delivered substantial emission reductions across the range of regulated pollutants, this was not the case for NOx emissions from diesel engines or particles for gasoline direct injection engines, installed in particular in light-duty vehicles. Actions for correcting this situation are thereforeTo achieve a further reduction of NOx emission in real driving conditions the development of new technologies via certification and standardisation of PEMS devices is needed.

(4) The Commission performed a detailed analysis of the procedures, tests and requirements for type approval that are set out in Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 on the basis of own research and external information and found that the emissions generated by real driving on the road of Euro 5 or Euro 6 vehicles in almost all cases substantially exceed the emissions measured on the regulatory New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), in particular with respect to NOx emissions of diesel vehicles.

(7) On 13 December 2018, the General Court delivered judgment in Joined Cases T-339/16, T-352/16 and T-391/1622 concerning an action for annulment of Regulation (EU) 2016/646. The General Court annulled the part of Regulation (EU) 2016/646 which established the conformity factors used to assess compliance of RDE test results with the emission limits laid down in Regulation (EC) No 715/2007. The Court found that only the legislator could introduce those conformity factors as they touched upon an essential element of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007. The error margin should be revised by Commission annually downwards, reflecting the improved quality of measuring procedure and the technical progress of PEMS equipment, unless the Commission justifies a reason for not being able to do so. _________________ 22Judgment of 13 December 2018, Ville de Paris, Ville de Bruxelles and Ayuntamiento de Madrid v Commission, T-339/16, T- 352/16 and T-391/16, EU:T:2018:927.
Amendment 27 #
(9) In order to allow manufacturers to comply with the Euro 6 emission limits in the context of RDE test procedure, the compliance criteria for RDE should be introduced in two steps. During the first step, upon the request of the manufacturer, a temporary conformity factor should apply, while as a second step only the final conformity factor should be used. The Commission should keep under review the final conformity factors in light of technical progress. In this regard, the Commission is called upon to take into consideration the standards adopted by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) for a standard procedure to assess RED measurement uncertainty with regard to gaseous and particle emissions.

Recital 9 a (new)
Recital 9 a (new)
(9a) The Commission is to mandate CEN to work out a PEMS-Performance Standard for determination of individual error margins of PEM-Systems. Before applying a PEMS-Performance Standard, the Commission is committed to keeping the error margin under annual review and to update them only once improvements in the measuring technology have been made.

Annex I – table 2a
Annex I – table 2a
Table 2a: Real Driving Emissions Conformity Factors (0a) Oxides of Number of Carbon Total Combined nitrogen (NOx) particles (PN) monoxide hydrocarbons hydrocarbons (CO)(1) (THC) and oxides of nitrogen (THC + NOx) CFpollutant-final (2) 1.43 1.5 CF pollutant-temp 2.1 1.5 (3) (0a) In order to verify an individual error margin of PEM-Systems to complement or replace the margins in Table 2a in Annex to this Regulation, the Commission shall take into account any CEN standards that determine a PEMS-Performance standard with respect to measuring NOx and PN. (1) CO emissions shall be measured and recorded for all RDE tests. (2) CF pollutant-final is the conformity factor used to determine compliance with the Euro 6 emission limits by taking into account the technical uncertainties linked with the use of the Portable Emission Measurement Systems (PEMS). (3)CF pollutant-temp is the temporary conformity factor that may be used upon request of the manufacturer as an alternative to CFpollutant-final during a period of 5 years and 4 months following the dates specified in Article 10(4) and (5).”
