LegalizeCommission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/655 of 19 December 2016 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to monitoring of gaseous pollutant emissions from in-service internal combustion engines installed in non-road mobile machinery (Text with EEA relevance. )
Article 1
Subject matter
This Regulation establishes detailed arrangements with regard to the selection of engines, test procedures and reporting of results relating to monitoring of gaseous pollutant emissions from in-service internal combustion engines installed in non-road mobile machinery using portable emission measurement systems.
Article 2
Scope
This Regulation applies to monitoring of the gaseous pollutant emissions from the following categories of in-service engines of emission Stage V installed in non-road mobile machinery regardless of when the EU type-approval for those engines was granted:
(a) NRE and NRG (all sub-categories);
(b) NRS-vi-1b, NRS-vr-1b, NRS-v-2a, NRS-v-2b and NRS-v-3;
(c) IWP and IWA (all sub-categories);
(d) RLL and RLR (all sub-categories);

(h) NRS-vi-1a and NRS-vr-1a.
This Regulation does not apply to original equipment manufacturer.
Article 3
Procedures and requirements for monitoring of emissions of in-service engines
Gaseous pollutant emissions from in-service engines referred to in Article 19(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 shall be monitored as follows:
(a) For those engines referred to in Article 2(1), points (a) to (f), monitoring shall be conducted in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
(b) For those engines referred to in Article 2(1), points (g) and (h): (i) the Annex to this Regulation shall not apply. (ii) the aging procedure used to establish the deterioration factor (DF) for the engine type, or, where applicable the engine family, as required by section 4.3 of Annex III to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/654 (1), including any automated element, shall be designed to allow the manufacturer to appropriately predict the in-use emission deterioration expected over the emission durability period (EDP) of those engines under typical use. (iii) the Commission shall, every 5 years, in cooperation with manufacturers, conduct a pilot programme involving the most recent engine types in order to ensure that the procedure to determine DFs set out in section 4 of Annex III to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/654 remains suitable and effective to control pollutant emissions over the useful life of engines.
Article 3a
Transitional provisions
Article 4
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
ANNEX
1. General requirements for in-service monitoring
1.1. For the purposes of this Annex ‘category of non-road mobile machinery’ means a grouping of non-road mobile machinery that fulfil the same generic function(s),
1.2. The manufacturer shall obtain access to engines installed in non-road mobile machinery in order to conduct in-service monitoring tests. When conducting the in-service monitoring test the manufacturer shall perform the emissions data sampling, measurement of exhaust parameters and data logging of an in-service engine installed in a non-road mobile machinery operated over its normal operating duty cycles until reaching the minimum test duration as set out in point 2 of Appendix 2.
| 1.2.a. | In-Service Monitoring Engine Group (ISM Group)For the carrying out of in-service testing, all engine types and engine families produced by the manufacturer shall be grouped in accordance with its sub-category as set out in Table 1 and illustrated in Figure 1. One manufacturer may have one ISM Group for each possible type of ISM Group.

1.2.b.The approval authority ensuring the compliance with this Regulation shall be either:
(a) the approval authority that granted the type-approval of the engine type or engine family, in case that the ISM Group contains a single type-approval;
(b) the approval authority that granted the type-approval of several engine types and/or engine families within the same ISM Group;
(c) in the case that the ISM Group contains engine types, and/or engine families, approved by different approval authorities, the approval authority designated by all approval authorities involved.
1.3. Engines subject to in-service monitoring test shall: —————
1.4. Engines with an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and a communication interface intended to provide the necessary data as specified in Appendix 7, but with a missing interface or missing data, or where it is not possible to achieve clear identification and validation of the necessary signals, shall not be eligible for in-service monitoring test, and an alternative engine shall be selected. The approval authority shall not accept the absence of an ECU or interface, or absent or invalid signals, or lack of conformity of the ECU torque signal, as a reason to reduce the number of engines to be tested under this Regulation.
1.5. Engines where the collection of ECU data influences the non-road mobile machinery gaseous pollutant emissions or performance shall be considered as non-eligible for in-service monitoring test. Notwithstanding the requirements of article 39 of Regulation (EU) 2016/1628, an alternative engine shall only be selected if the manufacturer can substantially prove to the approval authority the absence of any defeat strategy.
2. Plan for monitoring in-service engines
2.1. The manufacturer shall submit the initial plan for monitoring each ISM Group to the approval authority within:
2.2. The initial plan shall include the list of engine types and engine families in the ISM Group, together with the criteria used for and the justification of the selection of:
2.3. Manufacturers shall submit to the approval authority an updated plan for monitoring in-service engines whenever the list of engine families in the ISM Group changes or the list of particular engine(s) and non-road mobile machinery selected is completed or revised. The updated plan shall include a justification of the criteria used for the selection and the reasons for revising the previous list, if applicable. Where the number of engine families in the ISM Group or the annual production volume for the Union market changes, the plan with the number of tests to be executed in accordance with point 2.6, shall also be adjusted accordingly.
2.4. The approval authority shall approve the initial and subsequently updated plan(s) or request the appropriate amendments within 2 months of their submission, and shall ensure that the final plan includes the widest variety of engine types and categories of non-road mobile machinery.
2.5. Each initial or subsequently updated monitoring plan shall be approved by the approval authority before the testing of engines and non-road mobile machinery identified therein is started.
