Statute overview

About this statute

This directive requires Member States to adopt and publish implementing rules, and it requires manufacturers to provide OBD-related and anti-tampering information. It also forbids defeat strategies and certain engine-control changes unless specific conditions are met. This provision adds and updates emissions, OBD, and type-approval requirements for certain engines and vehicles, including testing, documentation, reagent controls, and production checks. This part sets out formulas and measurement rules for calculating exhaust emissions, including NOx and particulate emissions. This provision sets technical methods and equipment requirements for emissions testing, sampling, calibration, particulate measurement, reference fuels, and related OBD information. The manufacturer must determine and document engine stabilisation and emissions deterioration information, test engines at required intervals, and provide or submit related data to the approval authority when requested.
