PEMS BASED IN-SERVICE TESTING: PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HEAVY-DUTY ENGINES/VEHICLES

Abstract

This guidance document is a JRC technical support document, contributing to the development of best practices with PEMS. It shall be used primarily for the preparation, the execution and the follow-up of the emissions tests with PEMS on road heavy-duty vehicles (HDV) equipped with conventional combustion engines (gasoline, diesel, CNG, LPG). The document does not substitute either the operation manuals of the instruments or safety rules and recommendations nor official regulatory texts regarding in-use emissions tests with PEMS. The intention of this guide is to clarify some operational points of the PEMS procedure and to provide a guide for the application of PEMS inside and outside the regulatory context (In-Service Conformity Testing of heavy-duty engines as foreseen in Regulations 582/2011 and 64/2012).JRC.F.8-Sustainable Transpor
