THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 September 2016 on requirements relating to gaseous and particulate pollutant emission limits and type-approval for internal combustion engines for non-road mobile machinery, amending Regulations (EU) No 1024/2012 and (EU) No 167/2013 and amending and repealing Directive 97/68/EC 1, and in particular Articles 18(5), 21(3), 23(5), 24(12) and 32(3) thereof,
Whereas:
- (1) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/656 2 lays down, inter alia, the templates for certain documents to be drawn up in the context of the EU type-approval of internal combustion engines for non-road mobile machinery. Given a number of errors and omissions, those templates should be amended and corrected and made more comprehensive.
- (2) For the purpose of transparency and completeness, the engine manufacturer should include in the information folder a copy of the demonstration reports of specific tests when applying for an EU type-approval.
- (3) In order to harmonise and facilitate the procedures for the calculation of gaseous pollutant emissions for in-service monitoring of non-road mobile engines in accordance with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/655 3, the reference work and the reference CO2 mass used for that calculation should be stated in the addendum of the template of the EU type-approval certificate and in the single format of the test report.
- (4) For the purpose of harmonising the terminology used in the entire legislative package relating to emission limits and type-approval of internal combustion engines for non-road mobile machinery and clarifying their meaning, the terms ‘cylinder displacement’ and ‘engine displacement’ appearing in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/656 should be replaced by the terms ‘swept volume per cylinder’ and ‘engine total swept volume’.
- (5) Finally, following the publication of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/656, minor errors of different types have been detected and need to be corrected. In particular, certain changes should be made to provisions containing contradictions or redundant information and certain references and numbering should be corrected.
- (6) In particular, points 10 to 11.2 of the template for the single format of the test report should be corrected in order to correctly reflect the terminology used in Regulation (EU) 2016/1628.
- (7) Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/656 should therefore be amended and corrected accordingly.
- (8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Technical Committee – Motor Vehicles,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

2.4.4.2. Engine with a swept volume per cylinder < 750 cm3
In order for engines with an individual cylinder swept volume of < 750 cm3 to be considered to belong to the same engine family, the spread of their swept volume per cylinder shall not exceed 30 per cent of the largest swept volume per cylinder within the engine family.
