6 31 VCA Newsletter on european , UNECE and UK Type approval legislation November 2016 Page 3 of 32 EU NEWS Key Published EU Directives and Regulations Regulation (EU) 2016/1718 Emissions from Heavy Duty Vehicles Amending Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 with respect to emissions from heavy-duty vehicles as regards the provisions on testing by means of portable emission measurement systems (PEMS) and the procedure for the testing of the durability of replacement pollution control devices. To take effect on 1 September 2018 for new types and on 1 September 2019 for all new vehicles. Into Force Date: 17/10/2016 Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/427 Amending Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 as regards emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 6). The emissions generated by real driving on the road of Euro 5/6 vehicles substantially exceed the emissions measured on the regulatory new european driving cycle (NEDC), in particular with respect to NOx emissions of diesel vehicles.

7 In order to allow manufacturers gradually to adapt to the RDE requirements, the respective test procedures should be introduced in two phases as agreed with stakeholders in the Cars 2020 process (1): during a first transitional period the test procedures should only be applied for monitoring purposes, while afterwards they should be applied together with binding quantitative RDE requirements to all new type-approvals/new vehicles. The final quantitative RDE requirements will be introduced in two subsequent steps. This document covers how the testing will be carried out, it provides the test reports and certificates. The into-force date is 19 April 2016 but applies from 1/1/2016 for monitoring purposes. Into Force Date: 20/04/2016 Regulation (EU) 2016/646 Emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 6) Amending Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 as regards emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 6).

8 Defeat devices as defined in Article 3(10) of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 reducing the level of emission control are prohibited. Recent events have highlighted the need to strengthen the enforcement in this respect. Therefore it is appropriate to require a better supervision of the emission control strategy applied by the manufacturer at type- approval , following the principles already applied to heavy-duty vehicles by Euro VI Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 and its implementing measures. The RDE test procedures were introduced by Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/427. It is now necessary to establish the quantitative RDE requirements in order to limit tailpipe emissions under all normal conditions of use pursuant to the emission limits set out in Regulation (EC) No 715/2007. For that purpose, statistical and technical uncertainties of the measurement procedures should be taken into account.

9 Into Force Date: 20/04/2016 VCA Newsletter on european , UNECE and UK Type approval legislation November 2016 Page 4 of 32 Directive (EU) 2016/774 End-of-life vehicles Amending Annex II to Directive 2000/53/EC of the european Parliament and of the Council on end-of-life vehicles. An assessment of technical and scientific progress has demonstrated that the use of lead in the applications covered by exemptions 8(h), 8(j) and 10(d) should not be prolonged because the use of lead in these applications has become avoidable. Further, the assessment of technical and scientific progress has also demonstrated that the use of lead in the applications covered by exemptions 8(e), 8(f) and 8(g) remains unavoidable as substitutes have not become available yet. However, since information exists on possible future lead substitutes in these applications, it is appropriate to introduce a review date allowing to establish if the use of lead in these applications can be discontinued.

10 Into Force Date: 08/06/2016 Regulation (EU) 2016/799 Construction, testing, installation, operation and repair of tachographs and their components Implementing Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 - This regulation enables use of smart tachographs, ensures their security and their compatibility with the added value services provided by the Galileo satellite navigation programme as set out in Regulation (EU) No 1285/2013. Into Force Date: 15/06/2016 Regulation (EU) 2016/799 Construction, testing, installation, operation and repair of tachographs and their components Corrigendum to Regulation (EU) No 165/2014 - Insertion of Annex II Type approval marks and Certificate (see document for details). Into Force Date: 23/06/2016 Regulation (EU) 2016/879 Declaration of conformity when placing refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump equipment charged with hydrofluorocarbons on the market and its verification by an independent auditor Amends Regulation (EU) 517/2014 of the european Parliament and of the Council, detailed arrangements relating to the declaration of conformity when placing refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump equipment charged with hydrofluorocarbons on the market and its verification by an independent auditor.
