1.1       This vehicle standard prescribes the smoke emission requirements for diesel fuelled vehicles in order to reduce air pollution.

2         APPLICABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION

2.1       This vehicle standard applies to all M and N category vehicles with an engine that operates on diesel as provided in clause 2.2.

2.2       This vehicle standard applies:

5.1       Any provision related to the administrative processes for obtaining a UN ECE or US EPA approval do not apply to this vehicle standard.

6          ALTERNATIVE STANDARDS

6.1       The technical requirements of UN ECE Regulation 24: 

Uniform Provisions Concerning:

I.         The approval of compression ignition (C.I.) engines with regard to the emission of visible pollutants

II.        The approval of motor vehicles with regard to the installation of C.I. engines of an approved type

III.       The approval of motor vehicles equipped with C.I. engines with regard to the emission of visible pollutants by the engine

IV.       The measurement of power of C.I. engine

incorporating the 03 series of amendments, are deemed to be equivalent to the

technical requirements of this vehicle standard.

6.2       For M and N category vehicles with a GVM greater than 3.5 tonnes, the technical requirements for the Opacity of Smoke Emission of the USA Code of Federal Regulations, Part 86 – Control of Air Pollution from new and in-use motor vehicles and new and in-use motor vehicle engines certification and test procedures – Subpart A 40CFR 86.098-11 Emission standards for 1998 and later model year diesel heavy-duty engines and vehicles; and Subpart I – Emission Regulations for new diesel heavy-duty engines: smoke exhaust test procedure, are deemed to be equivalent to the technical requirements of this vehicle standard.
