Actors are defined as: TAA refers to type approval authorities other than the one granting the relevant type approval, TS refer to Technical Services, other CP to Contracting Parties not issuing the type approval, and third parties.

3. ISC family definition

An ISC family shall be composed of the following vehicles:

(a) For tailpipe emissions (Type 1, RDE and Type 6 tests), the vehicles covered by the PEMS test family, as described in paragraph 6.3.1. of UN Regulation No. 168 on RDE,

(b) For evaporative emissions (Type 4 test), the vehicles included in the evaporative emission family, as described in paragraph 6.6.3. of UN Regulation No. 154.

42/125 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/ojEN OJ L, 29.5.2026

4. Information gathering and initial risk assessment The granting type approval authority and other actors shall gather all relevant information on possible emission non-compliances relevant for deciding which ISC families to check in a particular year. They shall take into account in particular, information indicating vehicle types with high emissions in real driving conditions. That information shall be obtained by appropriate methods, which may include remote sensing, simplified on-board emissions monitoring systems (SEMS) and testing with PEMS. The number and importance of exceedances observed during such testing may be used to prioritise ISC testing.

As part of the information provided for the ISC checks, each manufacturer shall report to the granting type approval authority on emission-related warranty claims, and any emission-related warranty repair works performed or recorded during servicing, in accordance with a format agreed between the granting type approval authority and the manufacturer at type approval. The information shall detail the frequency and nature of faults for emissions-related components and systems by ISC family. The ISC reports shall be filed at least once a year for each ISC family for the duration of the period during which in-service conformity checks are to be performed in accordance with paragraph 9.2.2. of this Regulation. The ISC reports shall be made available upon request.

On the basis of the information referred to in the first and second paragraphs, the granting type approval authority shall make an initial assessment of the risk of an ISC family to not comply with the in-service conformity rules and on that basis shall take a decision on which families to test and which types of tests to perform under the ISC provisions. Additionally, the granting type approval authority may randomly choose ISC families to test.

Other actors shall take into account the information collected according to the first paragraph in order to prioritise testing. Additionally, they may randomly choose ISC families to test.

5. ISC testing The manufacturer shall perform ISC testing for tailpipe emissions comprising at least the Type 1 test for all ISC families. The manufacturer may also perform RDE, Type 4 and Type 6 tests for all or part of the ISC families. The manufacturer shall report to the granting type approval authority all results of the ISC testing for in-service conformity.

The granting type approval authority shall check an appropriate number of ISC families each year, as set out in paragraph 5.4.

Other actors may perform checks on any number of ISC families each year. They shall report to the granting type approval authority all results of the ISC testing.

5.1. Quality assurance of testing The granting type approval authority shall annually audit the ISC checks performed by the manufacturer. The granting type approval authority may also audit the ISC checks performed by other actors. The audit shall be based on the information provided by the manufacturers, or other actors, which shall include at least the detailed ISC report in accordance with Appendix 3. The granting type approval authority may require the manufacturers, or other actors to provide additional information.

5.2. Disclosure of tests results The granting type approval authority shall communicate the results of the compliance assessment and remedial measures for a particular ISC family to other actors which provided test results for that family as soon as they become available.

The results of the tests, including the detailed data for all vehicles tested, may only be disclosed to the public after the publication by the granting type approval authority of the annual report or the results of an individual ISC procedure or after the closure of the statistical procedure (see paragraph 5.10.) without a result. If the results of the ISC tests undertaken by other actors are published, reference shall be made to the annual report by the granting type approval authority which included them.

ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/oj 43/125EN OJ L, 29.5.2026

5.3. Types of tests ISC testing shall only be performed on vehicles selected in accordance with Appendix 1.

ISC testing with the Type 1 test shall be performed in accordance with UN Regulation No. 154.

ISC testing with the RDE test shall be performed in accordance with UN Regulation No. 168 on RDE, Type 4 tests shall be performed in accordance with Appendix 2 to this Annex and Type 6 tests shall be performed in accordance with Annex 8.

5.4. Frequency and scope of ISC testing The time period between commencing two in-service conformity checks by the manufacturer for a given ISC family shall not exceed 24 months.

The frequency of ISC testing performed by the granting type approval authority shall be based on a risk assessment methodology consistent with the international standard ISO 31000:2018 — Risk Management — Principles and guidelines which shall include the results of the initial assessment made according to paragraph 4.

Each granting type approval authority shall perform both the Type 1 and RDE tests on a minimum of 5 per cent of the ISC families per manufacturer per year or at least two ISC families per manufacturer per year, where available.

The requirement for testing a minimum of 5 per cent or at least two ISC families per manufacturer per year shall not apply to small volume manufacturers. The granting type approval authority shall ensure the widest possible coverage of ISC families and vehicle age in a particular in-service conformity family in order to ensure compliance with paragraph 9.2.2. of this Regulation. The granting type approval authority shall complete the statistical procedure for each ISC family it has started within 12 months.

Type 4 or Type 6 ISC tests shall have no minimum frequency requirements.

5.5. Funding for ISC testing by the granting type approval authorities The granting type approval authority shall ensure that sufficient resources are available to cover the costs for in-service conformity testing. Without prejudice to national law, those costs shall be recovered by fees that can be levied on the manufacturer by the granting type approval authority. Such fees shall cover ISC testing of up to 5 per cent of the in-service conformity families per manufacturer per year or at least two ISC families per manufacturer per year.

5.6. Testing plan When performing testing for ISC, the granting type approval authority shall draft a testing plan. In the case of RDE testing, that plan shall include testing to check ISC compliance under a wide range of conditions in accordance with UN Regulation No. 168 on RDE.

5.7. Selection of vehicles for ISC testing The information gathered shall be sufficiently comprehensive to ensure that in-service performance can be assessed for vehicles that are properly maintained and used. The tables in Appendix 1 shall be used to decide whether the vehicle can be selected for the purposes of ISC testing. During the check against the tables in Appendix 1, some vehicles may be declared as faulty and not tested during ISC, when there is evidence that parts of the emission control system were damaged.

The same vehicle may be used to perform and establish reports from more than one type of tests (Type 1, RDE, Type 4, Type 6) but only the first valid test of each type shall be taken into account for the statistical procedure.

44/125 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/ojEN OJ L, 29.5.2026

5.7.1. General requirements The vehicle shall belong to an ISC family as described in paragraph 3 and shall comply with the checks set out in the table in Appendix 1. It shall be registered in the Contracting Party and have been driven in the Contracting Party for at least 90 per cent of its driving time. The emissions testing may be done in a different geographical region from that where the vehicles have been selected. In case of ISC testing conducted by the manufacturer, with the agreement of the granting type approval authority, vehicles registered in a non-Contracting Party may be tested, if they belong to the same ISC family and are accompanied by a Certificate of Conformity in the EU, or equivalent in other Contracting Parties.

The vehicles selected shall be accompanied by a maintenance record which shows that the vehicle has been properly maintained and has been serviced in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations with only original parts used for the replacement of emissions related parts.

The vehicles shall not have undergone aerodynamic modifications that cannot be removed prior to testing.

A vehicle shall be excluded from ISC testing if the information stored in the on-board computer shows that the vehicle was operated after a fault code was displayed and a repair was not carried out in accordance with manufacturer specifications.

A vehicle shall be excluded from ISC testing if the fuel from the vehicle tank does not meet the applicable standards or if there is evidence or record of fuelling with the wrong type of fuel.

5.7.1.1. Additional RDE related ISC requirements For ISC or regional market surveillance testing purposes, the reference CO mass shall be obtained from the 2 Certificate of Conformity for the individual vehicle. The value for OVC-HEV vehicles shall be obtained from the WLTP test conducted using the Charge Sustaining mode.

5.7.1.2. Lubricating oil, fuel and reagent For tests performed during ISC, or regional market surveillance the fuel used for RDE testing may be any fuel legally available in the market and within the specifications issued by the manufacturer for vehicle operation by the customer.

5.7.2. Vehicle Examination and Maintenance Diagnosis of faults and any normal maintenance necessary in accordance with Appendix 1 shall be performed on vehicles accepted for testing, prior to or after proceeding with ISC testing.

The following checks shall be carried out: OBD checks (performed before or after the test), visual checks for lit malfunction indicator lamps, checks on air filter, all drive belts, all fluid levels, radiator and fuel filler cap, all vacuum and fuel system hoses and electrical wiring related to the after-treatment system for integrity; checks on ignition, fuel metering and pollution control device components for maladjustments and/or tampering.

If the vehicle is within 800 km of a scheduled maintenance service, that service shall be performed.

The window washer fluid shall be removed before the Type 4 test and replaced with hot water.

In the case of a fail a fuel sample shall be collected and kept for further analysis in accordance with the requirements of UN Regulation No. 168 on RDE .

ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/oj 45/125EN OJ L, 29.5.2026 All faults shall be recorded. When the fault is on the pollution control devices then the vehicle shall be reported as faulty and not be used further for testing, but the fault shall be taken into account for the purposes of the compliance assessment performed in accordance with paragraph 6.1.

5.8. Sample size When manufacturers apply the statistical procedure set out in paragraph 5.10. for the Type 1 test, the number of sample lots shall be set on the basis of the annual production volume of an in-service family intended for sale in the Contracting Parties that apply this regulation, as described in Table A4/1.

Table A4/1 Number of sample lots for ISC testing with Type 1 tests Contracting Party Production Volume per calendar year of vehicles in the Number of sample lots sampling period (for Type 1 tests) up to 100 000 1 100 001 to 200 000 2 above 200 000 3 Each sample lot shall include enough vehicle types (with regard to emissions), in order to ensure that at least 20 per cent of the total registrations of this PEMS family in the Contracting Party for the previous year are covered. In case the same PEMS family is shared between more brands, then all brands shall be tested. When a family requires more than one sample lot to be tested, the vehicles in the second and third sample lots shall select vehicles used in different ambient and/or typical use conditions from those selected for the first sample.

5.9. Access to data required for testing The manufacturer shall complete the package on Testing Transparency in the format specified in Tables 1 and 2 of Appendix 5 and in Table A4/2 and transmit it to the granting type approval authority. Table 2 of Appendix 5 shall be used in order to allow the selection of vehicles from the same family for testing and along with Table 1 of Appendix 5 provide sufficient information for vehicles to be tested.

All information in Tables 1 and 2 of Appendix 5 shall be accessible to the public in an electronic form free of charge within 5 working days of the request.

5.10. Statistical Procedure

5.10.1. General The verification of in-service conformity shall rely on a statistical method following the general principles of sequential sampling for inspection by attributes. The minimum sample size for a pass result is three vehicles, and the maximum cumulative sample size is ten vehicles for the Type 1 and RDE tests.

For the Type 4 and Type 6 tests a simplified method may be used, where the sample shall consist of three vehicles and shall be considered a fail if all three vehicles fail to pass the test, and a pass if all three vehicles pass the test. In cases where two out of three passed or failed, the type approval authority may decide to conduct further tests or proceed with assessing the compliance in accordance with paragraph 6.1.

Test results shall not be multiplied by deterioration factors.

For vehicles that have Declared Maximum RDE values reported in the Manufacturer's RDE certificate of compliance, as described in Annex 12 of UN Regulation No. 168, which is lower than the emission limits set out in paragraph 6.1. of UN Regulation No. 168, the conformity shall be checked against these Declared Maximum RDE values. If the sample is found not to conform with the Declared Maximum RDE values, the granting type approval authority shall require the manufacturer to take corrective actions.

Prior to the performance of the first ISC test, the manufacturer, or other actors shall notify the intent of performing in-service conformity testing of a given vehicle family to the granting type approval authority. Upon this notification, the granting type approval authority shall open a new statistical folder to process the results for each relevant combination of the following parameters for that particular party/or that pool of parties: vehicle family, emissions test type and pollutant. Separate statistical procedures shall be opened for each relevant combination of those parameters.

The granting type approval authority shall incorporate in each statistical folder only the results provided by the relevant party. The granting type approval authority shall keep a record of the number of tests performed, the number of failed and passed tests and other necessary data to support the statistical procedure.

Whereas more than one statistical procedure can be open at the same time for a given combination of test type and vehicle family, a party shall only be allowed to provide test results to one open statistical procedure for a given combination of test type and vehicle family. Each test shall be reported only once and all tests (valid, not valid, fail or pass, etc.) shall be reported.

Each ISC statistical procedure shall remain open until an outcome is reached when the statistical procedure arrives to a pass or fail decision for the sample in accordance with paragraph 5.10.5. However, if an outcome is not reached within 12 months of the opening of a statistical folder, the granting type approval authority shall close the statistical folder unless it decides to complete testing for that statistical folder within the following 6 months.

ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/oj 47/125EN OJ L, 29.5.2026

5.10.2. Pooling of ISC results Test results from other actors may be pooled for the purposes of a common statistical procedure. The pooling of test results shall require the written consent from all the interested parties providing test results to a pool of results, and a notification to the type approval authorities prior to the start of testing. One of the parties shall be designated as leader of the pool and be responsible for data reporting and communication with the granting type approval authority.

5.10.3. Pass/Fail/Invalid outcome for a single test An ISC emissions test shall be considered as ‘passed’ for one or more pollutants when the emissions result is equal or below the emission limit set out in paragraph 6.3.10. of UN Regulation No. 154 for that type of test. When testing vehicles in the additional lifetime, a durability multiplier for adjusting the emission limits for gaseous pollutants, as specified in paragraph 5.1.1. of this Regulation, shall be used.

An emissions test shall be considered as ‘failed’ for one or more pollutants when the emissions result is greater than the corresponding emission limit for that type of test. Each failed test result shall increase the ‘f’ count (see paragraph 5.10.5.) by 1 for that statistical instance.

An ISC emissions test shall be considered invalid if it does not respect the requirements of the tests referred to in paragraph 5.3. Invalid test results shall be excluded from the statistical procedure and the test shall be repeated with the same vehicle in order to have a valid test.

The results of all ISC tests shall be submitted to the granting type approval authority within ten working days from the execution of each test on a single vehicle. The test results shall be accompanied by a comprehensive test report at the end of the tests. The results shall be incorporated in the sample in chronological order of execution.

The granting type approval authority shall incorporate all valid emission test results to the relevant open statistical procedure until a ‘sample fail’ or a ‘sample pass’ decision is reached in accordance with paragraph 5.10.5.

5.10.4. Treatment of Outliers The presence of outlying results in the sample statistical procedure may lead to a ‘fail’ decision in accordance with

the procedures described below:

(a) Outliers shall be categorised as mild, intermediate or extreme.

(b) An emissions test result shall be considered as a mild outlier if it is more than the applicable emission limit but less than 1.3 times the applicable emission limit. The presence of a mild outlier only counts in the number of failed results in paragraph 5.10.5. below.

(c) An emissions test result shall be considered as an intermediate outlier if it is equal or greater than 1.3 times the applicable emission limit. The presence of two such outliers in a sample shall lead to a fail of the sample.

(d) An emissions result shall be considered as an extreme outlier if it is equal or greater than 2.5 times the applicable emission limit. The presence of one such outlier in a sample shall lead to a fail of the sample. In such case, the plate number of the vehicle shall be communicated to the manufacturer and to the granting type approval authority. This possibility shall be communicated to the vehicle owners before testing.

5.10.5. Pass/Fail decision for a sample For the purposes of deciding on a pass/fail result for the sample, ‘p’ is the count of passed results, and ‘f’ is the count of failed results. Each passed test result shall increase the ‘p’ count by 1 and each failed test result shall increase the ‘f’ count by 1 for the relevant open statistical procedure.

48/125 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/ojEN OJ L, 29.5.2026 Upon the incorporation of valid emission test results to an open instance of the statistical procedure, the type

approval authority shall perform the following actions:

(a) update the cumulative sample size ‘n’ for that instance to reflect the total number of valid emissions tests incorporated to the statistical procedure;

(b) following an evaluation of the results, update the count of passed results ‘p’ and the count of failed results ‘f’;

(c) compute the number of extreme and intermediate outliers in the sample in accordance with paragraph

5.10.4.;

(d) check whether a decision is reached with the procedure described below.

The decision depends on the cumulative sample size ‘n’, the passed and failed result counts ‘p’ and ‘f’, as well as the number of intermediate and/or extreme outliers in the sample. For the decision on a pass/fail of an ISC sample the granting type approval authority shall use the decision chart in Figure A4/2. The charts indicate the decision to be taken for a given cumulative sample size ‘n’ and failed count result ‘f’.

Two decisions are possible for a statistical procedure for a given combination of vehicle family, emissions test type

and pollutant: ‘Sample pass’ decision shall be reached when the applicable decision chart from Figure A4/2 gives a ‘PASS’ decision for the current cumulative sample size ‘n’ and the count of failed results ‘f’.

‘Sample fail’ decision shall be reached, for a given cumulative sample size ‘n’, when at least one of the following

conditions is fulfilled:

(a) the applicable decision chart from Figure A4/2 gives a ‘FAIL’ decision for the current cumulative sample size ‘n’ and the count of failed results ‘f’;

(b) there are two “FAIL” decisions with intermediate outliers;

(c) there is one “FAIL” decision with an extreme outlier.

If no decision is reached, the statistical procedure shall remain open and further results shall be incorporated into it until a decision is reached or the procedure is closed in accordance with paragraph 5.10.1.

6. Compliance Assessment

6.1. Within 10 working days of the end of the ISC testing for the sample as referred to in paragraph 5.10.5., the granting type approval authority shall start detailed investigations with the manufacturer in order to decide whether the ISC family (or part of it) complies with the ISC rules and whether it requires remedial measures. For multistage or special purpose vehicles the granting type approval authority shall also perform detailed investigations when there are at least three faulty vehicles with the same fault or five flagged vehicles in the same ISC family, as set out in paragraph 5.10.6.

6.2. The granting type approval authority shall ensure that sufficient resources are available to cover the costs for compliance assessment. Without prejudice to national law, those costs shall be recovered by fees that can be levied on the manufacturer by the granting type approval authority. Such fees shall cover all testing or auditing needed in order for an assessment on compliance to be reached.

6.3. On the request of the manufacturer, the granting type approval authority may extend the investigations to vehicles in service of the same manufacturer belonging to other ISC families which are likely to be affected by the same defects.

6.4. The detailed investigation shall take no more than 60 working days after the start of the investigation by the granting type approval authority.

For the purposes of point (d), the manufacturer may not impose maintenance or use conditions which are not demonstrably related to the non-conformity and the remedial measures.

7.4. The repair shall be done expediently, within a reasonable time after the vehicle is received by the manufacturer for repair. Within 15 working days of receiving the proposed plan of remedial measures, the granting type approval authority shall approve it or require a new plan in accordance with paragraph 7.5.

7.5. When the granting type approval authority does not approve the plan of remedial measures, the manufacturer shall develop a new plan and submit it to the granting type approval authority within 20 working days of

notification of the decision of the granting type approval authority.

7.6. If the granting type approval authority does not approve the second plan submitted by the manufacturer, it shall take all appropriate measures to restore conformity, including withdrawal of type approval where necessary.

7.7. The granting type approval authority shall notify its decision on remedial measures to the relevant Contracting Parties within 5 working days.

7.8. The remedial measures shall apply to all vehicles in the ISC family (or other relevant families identified by the manufacturer in accordance with paragraph 6.2.) that are likely to be affected by the same defect. The granting type approval authority shall decide if it is necessary to amend the type approval.

7.9. The manufacturer is responsible for the execution of the approved plan of remedial measures in all relevant Contracting Parties and for keeping a record of every vehicle removed from the market or recalled and repaired and the workshop which performed the repair.

7.10. The manufacturer shall keep a copy of the communication with the customers of affected vehicles related to the plan of remedial measures. The manufacturer shall also maintain a record of the recall campaign, including the total number of vehicles affected per Contracting Party and the total number of vehicles already recalled per Contracting Party, along with an explanation of any delays in the application of the remedial measures. The manufacturer shall provide that record of the recall campaign to the granting type approval authority, the type approval authorities of each Contracting Party every two months.

1. The manufacturer shall perform the in-service conformity tests as described in paragraph 1 of Annex C1 of Regulation No. 154. Responsible authorities and other third parties bodies may perform in-service verification tests.

2. Information gathering The following information shall be made available to the authorities by the manufacturer in a format to be agreed

between the authorities and the manufacturer: annual report on relevant warranty claims; and annual statistics on repairs for both batteries and other systems that might influence the electric energy consumption of the vehicle.

Such information shall be made available once a year for each battery durability family for the duration of the period of 8 years after the last vehicle of this family is produced.

3. Part A: Verification of SOCR/SOCE monitors

3.1. Obligations for the manufacturer

3.1.1. Frequency of verifications The manufacturer shall complete the procedure for in-use verification for Part A within 3 years after the first vehicle of each Part A family is produced and every 2 years afterwards until 8 years after the last vehicle of each monitor family as defined in paragraph 6.11.1.1. of UN Regulation 154 is produced and report the results of the verification to the authorities. The authorities may decide to proceed with their own verification of Part A, at a frequency and magnitude based on risk assessment, or request more information from the manufacturers.

The verification of the monitors shall not be mandatory if the annual production volume of an in-service conformity family intended for sales in the Contracting Parties that apply this regulation is less than 5 000 vehicles in Contracting Parties applying this Regulation for the previous calendar year. Such families may still be selected to be tested for Part A, at the request of the responsible authorities.

3.1.2. Verification procedure In order to verify the SOCR/SOCE monitors, the values for electric range and UBE shall be measured at the time of the verification and the related values from the monitors shall be collected before the verification test procedure.

To support future improvement of the Regulation, indicator values shall be collected again after the verification test procedure. Those indicators read after the verification test procedure shall not be considered in the Part A verification.

The measured SOCR and measured SOCE values shall be determined by dividing the measured values for electric range and UBE by the certified values for electric range and UBE, respectively, and the results expressed in per cent.

UBE SOCE ¼ measured ∙ 100 measured UBE certified Range SOCR ¼ measured ∙ 100 measured Range certified In cases where UBE is higher than the UBE , the SOCE shall be set to 100 per cent. In cases where measured certified measured Range is higher than the Range , the SOCR shall be set to 100 per cent.

measured certified measured 68/125 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/ojEN OJ L, 29.5.2026

3.1.3. Statistical Method for Pass/Fail decision for a sample of vehicles Separate statistics shall be calculated for the SOCR monitor and the SOCE monitor.

An adequate number of vehicles (at least 3 and not more than 16) shall be selected from the same monitor family for testing following a vehicle survey (see Appendix 1 to this annex) which contains information designed to ensure that the vehicle has been properly used and maintained according to the specifications of the manufacturer. The following statistics shall be used to take a decision on the accuracy of the monitor.

For evaluating the SOCR/SOCE monitors normalised values shall be calculated: x ¼SOCX – SOCX i read;i measured;i Where SOCX is the on-board SOCR/SOCE read from the vehicle i ; and read,i SOCX is the measured SOCR/SOCE of the vehicle i.

(a) Pass the family if x ≤ A – ðt + t Þ ∙ s tests P1;N P2;N

(b) Fail the family if x >A + ðt – t Þ ∙ s tests F1;N F2

(c) Take another measurement if:

P1,N P2,N, F1,N, F2 As at the current stage no accuracy requirements are set for the SOCR monitor, separate statistics for the SOCR monitors shall not be calculated for verification purposes. Separate statistics for the SOCR monitor shall be calculated once accuracy requirements are set for Part A in a future amendment of this Regulation.

3.1.4. Corrective measures for the SOCR and SOCE monitors A fail decision for the sample means that the monitors fail to report accurately the durability of the system and appropriate action shall be taken by the manufacturer with the agreement of the responsible authority. This may lead to the requirement that the manufacturer repairs or replaces the faulty monitor including the relevant sensors or by applying software measures in all affected vehicles in the monitor family.

A pass decision or correction of the non-compliance is required for proceeding with Part B. SOCR monitors shall not lead to a fail decision but shall be monitored in view of setting the accuracy requirements for Part A in a future amendment of this Regulation.

3.2. The approval authority may decide to conduct Part A test as described in the paragraphs from 3.1.1. to 3.1.4.

4. Part B: Verification of Battery Durability

4.1. Obligations of the manufacturers:

4.1.1. Frequency of verifications Data shall be collected yearly by the manufacturer from a statistically adequate sample of vehicles within the same battery durability family, as defined in paragraph 6.11.1.2. of UN Regulation No. 154, selected randomly from a variety of climate conditions. The decision on the number of the vehicles in the sample may be taken by the manufacturer based on risk assessment methodology, but in principle should not be less than 500.

If the number of vehicles in the sample is less than 500, a maximum of 5 per cent of the values may be excluded from the sample. In such a case, the manufacturer needs to use good engineering judgement.

If the number of vehicles in the sample is equal to or more than 500, then all vehicles shall be included in the sample. The data read shall be those of the SOCR and SOCE monitors (and other relevant data, such as those defined in Appendix 1 to Annex C1 of UN Regulation No. 154). SOCR monitors of vehicles of category N and SOCR monitors of category M vehicles shall be collected only for monitoring purposes as long as Table 2 of Annex C1 of UN Regulation No. 154 does not contain any MPR’s for SOCR.

4.1.2. The manufacturer shall provide to the responsible authorities a certificate of compliance which declares that the vehicle type complies with the requirements as stated in paragraph 1.3 of Annex C1 of UN Regulation No. 154.

70/125 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/ojEN OJ L, 29.5.2026

4.2. The responsible authority of a contracting party applying this regulation may decide to perform a Part B verification. In this case the manufacturer shall make available the yearly collected data to the authorities in a format agreed with the authorities. From that data, a statistically adequate sample of vehicles within the same battery durability family shall be selected randomly from a variety of climate conditions. The decision on the number of the vehicles in the sample may be taken by the responsible authority based on risk assessment methodology, but in principle should not be less than 500.

If the number of vehicles in the sample is less than 500, then on the request of the manufacturer and with the agreement of the responsible authority, a maximum of 5 per cent of the values may be excluded from the sample.

In such a case, the manufacturer needs to provide adequate information on the reason behind the exclusion for each vehicle to the authority.

If the number of vehicles in the sample is equal to or more than 500, then all vehicles shall be included in the sample. The data read shall be those of the SOCR and SOCE monitors (and other relevant data, such as those defined in Appendix 1 to Annex C1 of UN Regulation No. 154). SOCR monitors of vehicles of category N and SOCR monitors of category M vehicles shall be collected only for monitoring purposes as long as Table 2 of Annex C1 of UN Regulation No. 154 does not contain any MPR’s for SOCR.

4.3. Pass/Fail Criteria for the battery durability family A battery durability family shall pass if equal to or more than 90 per cent of monitor values read from the vehicle sample are above the MPRior DPRi.A battery durability family shall fail if less than 90 per cent of monitor values read from the vehicle sample are above the MPRior DPRi.

5. Part C: Verification of reported virtual distance

5.1. Verification procedure A verification of the reported virtual distance is only required if the manufacturer is requesting to apply the equivalent virtual distance option. In order to verify the virtual distance read from the vehicle belonging to a Part C family as defined in paragraph 6.11.1.3. of UN Regulation No. 154, a test shall be performed with adequate and representative use of the vehicle in V2X or non-traction purposes, if applicable, to verify whether the increase in virtual distance reported is accurate. The total discharge energy during this use shall be measured in order to calculate the measured virtual distance. The verification procedure use case (including the minimum amount of discharged energy corresponding to at least 50 km virtual distance) shall be agreed and approved by the responsible authority. If 50 km virtual distance cannot be reached with a fully charged battery, virtual distance required for verification shall be set to a value recommended by the manufacturer.

Table 4

The following steps shall be performed to determine the necessary verification results:

Step nr. Input Description Output Read the initial virtual distance and the worst case certified energy consumption of d virt,on-board,init(km) Step 1 n.a.

5.2. Pass or fail of reported virtual distance An agreed verification procedure use case (as mentioned in paragraph 5.1.) shall be performed with an adequate number of vehicles (at least 1 and not more than 4) used in V2X or non-traction purposes. The verification of the reported virtual distance shall lead to a fail in the verification procedure if the reported delta virtual distance Δd virt, according to Table 4 is more than 5 per cent higher than the measured virtual distance Δd according on-board virt,meas to Table 4. The following statistics shall be used to take a decision on the accuracy of the virtual distance.

For the purposes of deciding on a pass/fail result for the sample, 'p' is the count of passed results, and 'f' is the count of failed results. Each passed test result shall increase the 'p' count by 1 and each failed test result shall increase the 'f' count by 1 for the relevant open statistical procedure.

Upon the incorporation of valid V2X energy test results to an open instance of the statistical procedure, the

responsible authority shall perform the following actions:

(a) update the cumulative sample size 'n' for that instance to reflect the total number of valid tests incorporated to the statistical procedure;

(b) following an evaluation of the results, update the count of passed results 'p' and the count of failed results 'f';

(c) check whether a decision is reached with the procedure described below.

The decision depends on the cumulative sample size 'n', the passed and failed result counts 'p' and 'f'. For the decision on a pass/fail of a verification sample the responsible authority shall use the decision chart in Table 5.

The chart indicates the decision to be taken for a given cumulative sample size 'n' and failed count result 'f'.

Two decisions are possible for a statistical procedure for a given vehicle family:

(a) ‘Sample pass’ outcome shall be reached when the decision chart from Table 5 gives a "PASS" outcome for the current cumulative sample size 'n' and the count of failed results 'f'.

(b) ‘Sample fail’ decision shall be reached when, for a given cumulative sample size 'n', when the applicable decision chart from Table 5 gives a "FAIL" decision for the current cumulative sample size 'n' and the count of failed results 'f'.

If no decision is reached, the statistical procedure shall remain open and further results shall be incorporated into it until a decision is reached.

Note: ‘UND’ means undecided

5.3. Corrective measures for reported virtual distance A fail decision for the sample means that the virtual distance calculators (algorithm) fail to report accurately the virtual distance of the system and appropriate action shall be taken by the manufacturer with the agreement of the responsible authority. This may lead to the requirement that the manufacturer repairs or replaces the faulty virtual distance calculator in all affected and future vehicles in the battery durability family, to correct already reported virtual distances for this family and to repeat the procedure for verification of Part B in order to confirm the pass or fail.

ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/oj 83/125EN OJ L, 29.5.2026 ANNEX 7 Manipulation devices and manipulation strategies

1. Introduction

1.1. This Annex sets out the tests, methods and procedures for establishing the absence of manipulation devices and manipulation strategies as specified in paragraph 3. of this annex.

1.2. This Annex also specifies the documentation that ensures the proper monitoring and enforcement of rules related to manipulation devices and manipulation strategies. It aims to strengthen emissions control mechanisms, enhance transparency, and ensure that vehicles comply with regulatory requirements for the lifetime of the vehicles, particularly the exhaust emission and evaporative emission limits set out in UN Regulation No. 154 and UN Regulation No. 168 and the test conditions therein, as well as the prohibition of manipulation devices and manipulation strategies.

1.3. Specifications for methodologies, tests and procedures that relate to data integrity, such as manipulation of data related to sensors, fuel or electric energy consumption, electric range or battery durability, are provided for in UN Regulation No. 180 on On-Board Monitoring (OBM).

1.4. This Annex also sets out roles and responsibilities for the actors involved to ensure compliance with the above- mentioned regulatory requirements and prohibition of manipulation devices and manipulation strategies.

1.5. For the purposes of this Annex, manipulation devices and manipulation strategies should be construed as set out in paragraphs 2.41. and 2.42. of this Regulation. The notion of manipulation strategy shall be distinguished from respectively the notions of ‘Base Emission Strategies (BES)’ and ‘Auxiliary Emission Strategies (AES)’ which are defined in respectively paragraphs 2.38. and 2.39. of this Regulation, and which relate to documentation requirements under this Annex.

2. General requirements – tests and methodologies

2.1. Referring to the provisions of paragraphs 2.41. and 2.42. of this Regulation, (i) manipulation devices and manipulation strategies related to emissions (exhaust, evaporative or other) and (ii) manipulation devices and manipulation strategies related to data integrity should be distinguished.

2.2. When assessing situations that could involve the use of manipulation devices or manipulation strategies for exhaust and evaporative emissions, a broad assessment and interpretation of those situations should be made.

Any devices or strategies that reduce the effectiveness of exhaust and non-exhaust emission limits and testing condition requirements under this Regulation, that cause a non-compliant vehicle to appear compliant or that falsify test results, should be considered when determining whether manipulation devices or manipulation strategies exist. Contracting Party authorities should apply dedicated screening tests and enforcement measures to prevent the circumvention of the emissions’ requirements..

2.3. The assessment of such situations as part of type-approval should distinguish and identify specific situations where the reduction of effectiveness of exhaust and evaporative emission control is justified by technical reasons and is not due to manipulation. This is particularly relevant in driving conditions that are adjacent to one or more boundary conditions of a regulated emissions test. For such situations, manufacturers shall comply with criteria for the declaration of technically justified emission control strategies that are only active for a specific set of ambient or operating conditions, thereby documenting and explaining the reduction of the effectiveness of emission control that may be observed (for instance, the dosing of reagent may stop at very low temperatures due 84/125 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/ojEN OJ L, 29.5.2026 to physical limitations of hardware). These technically justified emission strategies shall satisfy strict criteria to demonstrate that they are acceptable and that therefore they do not constitute a manipulation device or manipulation strategy. The methodology for the assessment and approval of AES is specified in Appendix 1 to this Annex.

2.4. Manufacturers shall ensure that no vehicle is equipped with manipulation devices or strategies related to data integrity.

2.5. Manufacturers shall not introduce software or calibration updates that manipulate data related to sensors, fuel or electric energy consumption, electric range or battery durability, either before or after the placing in the market.

2.6. Manufacturers shall disclose any software and calibration updates affecting the integrity of data related to sensors, fuel or electric energy consumption, electric range or battery durability to the granting type-approval authority.

3. Technical requirements - documentation

3.1. Manufacturers shall document Auxiliary Emission Strategies (AES) at type-approval. For the type-approval authorities to be able to assess the proper use of AES, considering the prohibition of manipulation devices and manipulation strategies, the manufacturer shall provide an extended documentation package, as described in Appendix 1 to this Annex.

3.2. The extended documentation shall remain strictly confidential. It may be kept by the approval authority, or, at the discretion of the approval authority, may be retained by the manufacturer. In the case the manufacturer retains the documentation package, that package shall be identified and dated by the approval authority once reviewed and approved. It shall be made available for inspection by the approval authority at the time of approval or at any time during the validity of the approval.

3.3. Manufacturers shall also provide to the approval authorities a formal documentation package, as described in Appendix 2 to this Annex, containing information on AES/BES that would allow an independent tester to identify if the emissions measured can be attributed to an AES or BES strategy or are potentially due to a manipulation device or manipulation strategy.

3.4. Manufacturers shall make the formal documentation package available to all type-approval authorities, technical services, market surveillance authorities, recognised third parties and the European Commission, or equivalent for other Contracting Parties, upon request.

3.5. Manufacturers shall introduce an indicator (AES flag or timer) to indicate when a vehicle runs in a mode where an AES that has been documented in the extended documentation package is active instead of BES mode. The indicator shall be available via the serial port of the standard diagnostic connector upon request of a generic scan- tool. The AES that is running shall be identifiable via the formal documentation package.

4. Roles and responsibilities

4.1. This paragraph sets out roles and responsibilities for the actors involved to ensure compliance with regulatory

requirements: — For vehicle manufacturers: it introduces criteria for the declaration of justified auxiliary emission control strategies that are active for a specific purpose and in response to a specific set of ambient or operating conditions. These emission control strategies shall satisfy strict technical criteria to demonstrate that they do not constitute a manipulation device or manipulation strategy.

ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/oj 85/125EN OJ L, 29.5.2026 — For type-approval authorities: it introduces criteria for the approval of technically justified emission control strategies. The approval of such emission control strategies relies on the concept of ‘Auxiliary Emission Strategies’ (AES), which is adapted from the Euro 6 legal framework. This Annex supports the documentation of AES and clarifies their role in aiding emissions measurement and monitoring through on-board monitoring systems (OBM).

— For Contracting Party authorities: it sets a framework for the detection of manipulation devices and manipulation strategies using dedicated screening tests and enforcement measures. — For recognised third parties and regional authorities: it sets out roles in the performance of screening tests.

4.2. Roles and responsibilities of vehicle manufacturers

4.2.1. Manufacturers shall ensure the absence of manipulation devices and manipulation strategies related to emissions

under the scope of this Regulation: manufacturers shall ensure that no vehicle is equipped with manipulation devices or strategies.

4.2.2. Manufacturers shall document software updates to vehicles in service that reduce the effectiveness of emissions control strategies after type-approval.

4.2.3. Manufacturers shall disclose any software updates or calibrations affecting exhaust emissions control systems to the granting type-approval authority.

4.2.4. Manufacturers shall document Auxiliary Emission Strategies (AES) as part of type-approval as specified in paragraph 3 ‘Technical requirements – documentation’.

4.2.5. The manufacturer shall cooperate with the type-approval authority to allow them to select up to a maximum of 5 AES that will be monitored by OBM according to Annex 4 of UN Regulation No. 180 on On-Board Monitoring (OBM).

4.3. Roles and responsibilities of type-approval authorities

4.3.1. At the request of the manufacturer, the approval authority shall conduct a preliminary assessment of the AES for new vehicle types with regard to emissions, together with the selection of AES according to paragraph 4.2.5. In that case, the relevant documentation shall be provided to the type-approval authority between 2 and 12 months before the start of the type-approval process.

4.3.2. The type-approval authority shall make a preliminary assessment based on the extended documentation package, as described in point (b) of Appendix 2 to this Annex, provided by the manufacturer. The approval authority shall make the assessment in accordance with the methodology described in Appendix 1 to this Annex. The type- approval authority may deviate from that methodology in exceptional and duly justified cases.

4.3.3. The preliminary assessment of the AES for new vehicle types with regard to emissions shall remain valid for the purposes of type-approval for a period of 18 months. That period may be extended by the type-approval authority by a further 12 months at the request of the manufacturer.

4.3.4. In cooperation with the manufacturer, the type-approval authority shall select up to a maximum of 5 AES that will be monitored by OBM according to Annex 4 of UN Regulation No. 180 on On-Board Monitoring (OBM). The selection of AES shall prioritise those AES with the greatest expected impact by combination of their effect upon emissions when they are active and their expected rate of activation while the vehicles are in use.

86/125 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/ojEN OJ L, 29.5.2026

4.3.5. The extended documentation package shall be identified and dated by the type-approval authority. If the extended documentation package is kept by the type-approval authority, it shall be retained for at least 10 years after the approval is granted.

4.3.6. The type-approval authority shall evaluate the documentation of software updates that reduce the effectiveness of emissions control strategies after type-approval and extend the approval as appropriate as long as the requirements continue to be met.

4.3.7. The type-approval authority may test the functionality of the AES flag or timer to indicate when a vehicle runs in AES mode instead of BES mode.

4.3.8. Type-approval authorities shall ensure a harmonised assessment of Auxiliary Emission Strategies (AES). A list of AES which were deemed non-acceptable by type-approval authorities shall be compiled yearly by the EU Forum for Exchange of Information on Enforcement or similar entity in a Contracting Party and made available to the public by Contracting Parties at the latest by end of March of the following year, in case there were AES which were deemed non-acceptable by the Forum or similar entity.

4.4. Roles and responsibilities of Contracting Party authorities

4.4.1. Contracting Party authorities may conduct screening tests to detect manipulation devices and manipulation strategies related to emissions.

4.4.2. Contracting Party authorities should decide case-by-case which methods are best suited, based on an appropriate risk assessment which considers possible non-compliance, the likelihood of its occurrence, and other possible indicators, like the severity of the occurrence.

4.4.3. The search for manipulation devices or strategies could include two distinct cases:

Case A) ‘Boundary detection”: manipulation devices or strategies that use the regulated test boundaries or surrogates thereof as triggers (such as ambient temperature, altitude, trip duration, fuel consumed and driving dynamics ranges), or;

Case B) ‘Test detection’: manipulation devices or strategies triggered by the presence of test equipment (e.g., backpressure increase at the tailpipe, signals on rear ultrasonic sensors, connection of a data recorder on the OBD port) or the vehicle localization (i.e., anything informing the vehicle that it is being tested on road for tailpipe emissions). These ‘Test detection’ manipulation devices or manipulation strategies apply primarily to on-road tests with PEMS, since vehicles tested in the laboratory usually need to use a special ‘chassis dynamometer mode’ to allow emissions testing without triggering safety devices, etc.

4.4.4. For all screening test campaigns, it shall be necessary, as a minimum, to include testing the vehicle with the regulatory methodologies. This is an important step to make sure that the vehicle is free of malfunctioning, poor maintenance or other similar issues, which would unduly increase the level of emissions.

4.4.5. To detect the presence of manipulation devices or strategies according to Case A, it is necessary that the vehicles are tested under variations of the regulated testing conditions referred to as ‘modalities’. The set of modalities is not fixed but instead kept open due to the need to detect specific technology behaviours in response to a complex set of parameters and the need to keep an unpredictable character.

4.4.6. Contracting Party authorities shall enforce the prohibition of manipulation devices and manipulation strategies related to emissions. If a manipulation device or strategy related to emissions is identified, market surveillance authorities shall proceed in accordance with Chapter XI on Safeguard Clauses of Regulation (EU) 2018/858 or equivalent provisions in other Contracting Parties.

ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/oj 87/125EN OJ L, 29.5.2026

4.4.7. Contracting Party authorities shall ensure a uniform application of criteria for the assessment of screening tests by having regard to the latest version of the relevant non-binding guidance published by the European Commission or equivalent for other Contracting Parties and to the information available within the EU Forum for Exchange of Information on Enforcement or similar entity in another Contracting Party.

4.5. Roles and responsibilities of Contracting Parties and recognised third parties

4.5.1. Contracting Parties and recognised third parties may conduct screening tests to detect manipulation devices and manipulation strategies related to emissions according to paragraph 4.4.1.

88/125 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/ojEN OJ L, 29.5.2026 Annex 7 - Appendix 1 Methodology for the assessment and approval of AES and BES This appendix provides a structured approach for assessing and approving Auxiliary Emission Strategies (AES) and Base Emission Strategies (BES).

1. Documentation of AES and BES

1.1. Manufacturers shall include a technical description of their BES in the extended documentation package according to Appendix 2.

1.2. Manufacturers shall document all AES, with the possible omission of certain AES according to paragraph 1.5.

Manufacturers shall justify the use of an AES that is documented based on one or more of the following criteria: a. The AES is necessary for the safe operation of the vehicle. b. The AES is necessary to avoid sudden and irreparable damage to a powertrain(1)component.

c. The AES is only active during engine start. d. The AES is necessary due to physical limitations of the emission control system.

1.3. For each AES that is documented, manufacturers shall submit: — A description of the technical motivation for the AES. This will be substantiated by supporting evidence, such as durability tests or risk analyses, demonstrating why the AES is technically necessary;

— A description of the precise conditions that lead to the activation and de-activation of the AES. This shall include, as appropriate, engine parameters, ambient parameters and any other relevant condition;

— An estimation of the emissions and CO impact of the AES when it is active;

2 — An estimation of the expected rate of activation of the AES while the vehicles are in use.

1.4. The information referred to in paragraph 1.3. shall be included in the extended documentation package according to Appendix 2.

1.5. Manufacturers may omit any AES from the extended documentation package provided they meet one or more of

the following conditions: — The AES does not lead to the exceedance of limit values defined in UN Regulation No. 154 while it is active; — The AES does not reduce the effectiveness of the emission control systems while it is active;

— The conditions that lead to the activation of the AES are substantially included in the test procedures.

2. Assessment of AES and BES

2.1. Authorities shall approve a BES that satisfies the documentation requirements of paragraph 1.1.

(1) As defined in Mutual Resolution No. 2 (M.R.2) of the 1958 and 1998 Agreements of UNECE.

ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/oj 89/125EN OJ L, 29.5.2026

2.2. Authorities shall approve an AES that is documented if it is technically justified by one or more criteria under paragraph 1.2., provided that the following criteria are also met: — The technical motivation for the AES is satisfactory and supported by appropriate evidence;

— The conditions that lead to the activation and de-activation of the AES are set according to technical characteristics of the emission control systems concerned and not to the boundary conditions or other conditions covered by a regulatory test.

3. Approval of AES and BES The type-approval authority shall approve the AES and BES submitted by the manufacturer based on the contents of the extended documentation package.

The extended documentation package shall be limited to 100 pages.

The extended documentation package may be complemented with annexes and other attached documents, containing additional and complementary elements, if necessary. The manufacturer shall send a new consolidated version of the extended documentation package (with tracked changes) to the type-approval authority every time changes are introduced to the AES. The new version of the AES shall be evaluated and approved by the type- approval authority.

The extended documentation package shall include a declaration of the software versions and calibrations used to control these AES/BES, including the appropriate checksums or reference values of these software versions and calibrations, as well as instructions to the authority on how to read the checksums or reference values; the declaration shall be updated and sent to the type-approval authority that holds this extended documentation package each time there is a new software version or calibration that has an impact on the AES/BES.

Manufacturers may request to use an alternative to a checksum if it provides an equivalent level of traceability for software version and calibration management.

The extended documentation package shall also include a declaration of the manufacturer on the absence of manipulation devices or manipulation strategies. The approval of the extended documentation package shall not constitute proof of the absence of manipulation devices or manipulation strategies.

4.3.3.1. The vehicle shall not be stored at ambient temperatures which exceed 303 K (30 °C) during this period.

4.3.3.2. Vehicle cooling may be accomplished by force-cooling the vehicle to the test temperature. If cooling is augmented by fans, the fans shall be placed in a vertical position so that the maximum cooling of the drive train and engine is achieved and not primarily the sump. Fans shall not be placed under the vehicle.

4.3.3.3. The ambient temperature need only be stringently controlled after the vehicle has been cooled to 266 K (-7 °C) ± 2 K, as determined by a representative bulk oil temperature.

A representative bulk oil temperature is the temperature of the oil measured near the middle of the oil sump, not at the surface or at the bottom of the oil sump. If two or more diverse locations in the oil are monitored, they shall all meet the temperature requirements.

4.3.3.4. The vehicle shall be stored for at least one hour after is has been cooled to 266 K (-7 °C) ± 2 K, prior to the low ambient temperature exhaust emission test. The ambient temperature (dry bulb) during this period shall average 266 K (-7 °C) ± 3 K and shall not be less than 260 K (-13 °C) or more than 272 K (-1 °C).

In addition, the temperature may not fall below 263 K (-10 °C) or exceed 269 K (-4 °C), for more than three consecutive minutes.

4.3.4. If the vehicle is stabilised at 266 K (-7 °C), in a separate area and is moved through a warm area to the test cell, the vehicle shall be restabilised in the test cell for at least six times the period the vehicle is exposed to warmer temperatures. The ambient temperature (dry bulb) during this period shall average 266 K (-7 °C) ± 3 K and shall not be less than 260 K (-13 °C) nor more than 272 K (-1 °C).

In addition, the temperature may not fall below 263 K (-10 °C) or exceed 269 K (-4 °C), for more than three consecutive minutes.

5. Dynamometer procedure

5.1. Summary

5.1.1. The emission sampling is performed over a test procedure consisting of the Part One cycle (Annex 4a to the 07 series of amendments to this Regulation, Table A4a/1 and Figure A4a/1). Engine start-up, immediate sampling, operation over the Part One cycle and engine shut-down make a complete low ambient temperature test, with a total test time of 780 seconds. The exhaust emissions are diluted with ambient air and a continuously proportional sample is collected for analysis. The exhaust gases collected in the bag are analysed for hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. A parallel sample of the dilution air is similarly analysed for carbon monoxide, total hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide.

shall have the following characteristics:

(a) Area: at least 0.2 m2;

(b) Height of the lower edge above ground: approximately 20 cm.

As an alternative the blower linear air speed shall be at least 6 m/s (21.6 km/h). At the request of the manufacturer, for special vehicles (e.g. vans, off-road) the height of the cooling fan may be modified.

5.2.1.4. The vehicle speed as measured from the dynamometer roll(s) shall be used (paragraph 1.2.6. of Appendix 1 to Annex 4a to the 07 series of amendments to this Regulation).

5.2.2. Reserved

5.2.3. Preliminary testing cycles may be carried out if necessary, to determine how best to actuate the accelerator and brake controls so as to achieve a cycle approximating to the theoretical cycle within the prescribed limits, or to permit sampling system adjustment. Such driving shall be carried out before "START" according to Figure A8/1.

5.2.4. Humidity in the air shall be kept low enough to prevent condensation on the dynamometer roll(s).

5.2.5. The dynamometer shall be thoroughly warmed as recommended by the dynamometer manufacturer, and using procedures or control methods that assure stability of the residual frictional power.

5.2.6. The time between dynamometer warming and the start of the emission test shall be no longer than 10 minutes if the dynamometer bearings are not independently heated. If the dynamometer bearings are independently heated, the emission test shall begin no longer than 20 minutes after dynamometer warming.

If frictional losses of the dynamometer can be stabilized without warming the dynamometer, the test can start following the dynamometer manufacturer’s recommendations. The manufacturer shall provide documentation on the validation of the systems upon request of the responsible authority.

5.2.7. If the dynamometer power is to be adjusted manually, it shall be set within one hour prior to the exhaust emission test phase. The test vehicle may not be used to make the adjustment. The dynamometer, using automatic control of pre-selectable power settings, may be set at any time prior to the beginning of the emission test.

5.2.8. Before the emission test driving schedule may begin, the test cell temperature shall be 266 K (-7 °C) ± 2 K, as measured in the air stream of the cooling fan with a maximum distance of 1.5 m from the vehicle.

ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/oj 99/125EN OJ L, 29.5.2026

5.2.9. During operation of the vehicle the heating and defrosting devices shall be shut off.

5.2.10. The total driving distance or roller revolutions measured are recorded.

5.2.11. A four-wheel drive vehicle shall be tested in a two-wheel drive mode of operation.

At the request of the manufacturer a four-wheel drive vehicle shall be tested in its primary drive mode of operation.

5.3. Performing the test

5.3.1. The provisions of paragraph 6.4., excluding 6.4.1.2., of Annex 4a to the 07 series of amendments to this Regulation apply in respect of starting the engine, carrying out the test and taking the emission samples. The sampling begins before or at the initiation of the engine start-up procedure and ends on conclusion of the final idling period of the last elementary cycle of the Part One (urban driving cycle), after 780 seconds.

The first driving cycle starts with a period of 11 seconds idling as soon as the engine has started.

5.3.2. For the analysis of the sampled emissions the provisions of paragraph 6.5., excluding paragraph 6.5.2., of Annex 4a to the 07 series of amendments to this Regulation apply. In performing the exhaust sample analysis the Technical Service shall exercise care to prevent condensation of water vapour in the exhaust gas sampling bags.

5.3.3. For the calculations of the mass emissions the provisions of paragraph 6.6. of Annex 4a to the 07 series of amendments to this Regulation apply.

5.4. Additional requirements for Hybrid Electric Vehicles

5.4.2. For NOVC vehicles, the measurements of emissions of pollutants shall be carried out under the same conditions as in the NEDC based Type I test as set out in Annex 4a to the 07 series of amendments to this Regulation.

100/125 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/ojEN OJ L, 29.5.2026 ANNEX 9 Anti-tampering, security and cybersecurity

1. Introduction This Annex lays down measures regarding the type-approval of anti-tampering, security and cybersecurity systems.

2. Definitions For the purposes of this Annex, the definitions in UN Regulation No 155 shall apply. ‘Attacks’ shall be understood as comprising tampering attempts, attempts to circumvent security and cyber- attacks.

3. Requirements for type-approval

3.1. Responsibilities of manufacturers It is the responsibility of the manufacturer that the vehicle type (with regard to emissions) is equipped with sufficient anti-tampering, security and cybersecurity measures to make it resistant against tampering, cybersecurity and security threats arising in all phases of its life-cycle.

To fulfil this responsibility, the vulnerabilities that may lead to tampering shall be minimised to the fullest extent possible, based on the best available knowledge at the time of type-approval, for all the following systems:.

(a) fuel and reagent injection system,

(b) engine and engine control units,

(c) traction batteries and related management systems,

(d) odometer,

(e) pollution control systems,

(f) electric motor and related control units,

(g) OBFCM device (not applicable to Small Volume Manufacturers),

(h) OBD system,

(i) OBM system (not applicable to Small Volume Manufacturers), and

(j) EVP.

This shall be deemed to be complied with when:

(a) the vehicle type with regard to emissions satisfies the requirements of UN Regulation No 155 and

(b) the manufacturer’s vulnerability/threat analysis and risk assessment consider, where applicable:

(i) for fuel and reagent injection system, engine and engine control units and pollution control systems, the manufacturer’s vulnerability/threat analysis and risk assessment considers at least the high-level vulnerabilities/threats, examples of vulnerabilities or attack methods, and examples of mitigations of Table 4.1 of Appendix 1 to this Annex.

(ii) for the OBM system, OBD system and OBFCM device the manufacturer’s vulnerability/threat analysis and risk assessment considers at least the high-level vulnerabilities/threats, examples of vulnerability or attack method, and examples of mitigations of Table 4.2 of Appendix 1 to this Annex.

ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/oj 101/125EN OJ L, 29.5.2026

(iv) for traction batteries and related management systems, electric motor and related control units and environmental vehicle passport, the manufacturer’s vulnerability/threat analysis and risk assessment considers at least the high-level vulnerabilities/threats, examples of vulnerabilities or attack methods, and examples of mitigations of Table 4.3 of Appendix 1 to this Annex.

Without prejudice to requirements of paragraph 7.2.2.2(g) of UN Regulation No 155, the manufacturer shall monitor for, detect, respond to and inform the approval authority on evidences of successful attacks on any of the systems listed above in this paragraph.

3.2. Responsibilities of approval authorities Without prejudice to the requirements of paragraph 5.1.1. of UN Regulation No 155, type-approval authorities shall verify whether the vulnerability/threat analysis and risk assessment conducted by the manufacturer is appropriate and sufficient. This verification shall ensure that the vulnerabilities and threats of the tables in Appendix 1 have been appropriately managed by the manufacturer. The examples in these tables shall be used as reference.

The type-approval authority may require additional documentation to verify that the proposed mitigation actions are correctly implemented.

Type-approval authorities are encouraged to exchange best practices and experiences within the framework of the EU Forum for Exchange of Information on Enforcement or similar entity in a Contracting Party.

3.3. Responsibilities of Contracting Party authorities Following the requirements in Article 8 on obligations of market surveillance authorities of Regulation

(EU) 2018/858, or equivalent provisions in other Contracting Parties, the Contracting Party authorities shall carry out regular tests to verify whether anti-tampering, security and cybersecurity measures are sufficient. Contracting Party authorities shall be responsible for vehicle selection, application of testing methods, follow-up activities, reporting and corrective or restrictive measures.

3.3.1. Vehicle selection for surveillance purposes When carrying out surveillance tests, the Contracting Party authorities shall select the vehicle types with regards to emissions to be tested based on a risk assessment. Vehicle types (with regards to emissions) deemed to pose a greater risk according to the risk assessment shall be prioritised for testing according to paragraph 3.3.2.

The risk assessment shall consider the following aspects:

(a) Evidence that effective tampering products are widely available on the market for use on certain vehicle types with regard to emissions;

(b) Evidence of known vulnerabilities affecting certain vehicle types with regard to emissions;

(c) Evidence about the prevalence of tampering for certain vehicle types with regard to emissions (including, among others, OBM data submitted by vehicle manufacturers);

(d) The number of vehicles in circulation belonging to certain vehicle types with regards to emissions;

(e) Other relevant information, including test results of recognised third parties and information exchanged in the EU Forum for Exchange of Information on Enforcement or similar entity in a Contracting Party.

102/125 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/ojEN OJ L, 29.5.2026

3.3.2. Testing methods Contracting Party authorities may employ any test method to establish whether vehicles belonging to a certain vehicle type with regard to emissions are sufficiently protected against attacks which could affect the proper operation of systems listed in paragraph 3.1. Market surveillance authorities are encouraged to exchange best practices and experiences within the framework of the EU Forum for Exchange of Information on Enforcement or similar entity in another Contracting Party.

The good state of each test vehicle shall be verified before conducting the tests, ensuring in particular the proper operation of systems listed in paragraph 3.1. and that they have not been subject to attacks in the scope of the tests. The verification shall ensure that no relevant fault code is stored nor any relevant warning light is on, that none of the pollutant monitoring statuses is in ‘Error’ and that the tampering detection level as set out in Annex 4 of UN Regulation No. 180 on On-Board Monitoring (OBM) reported by the OBM is ‘Normal’.

This verification shall also include, where appropriate, the performance of an ex-ante Type 1 or RDE test according toUN Regulation No. 154 or No. 168 respectively. The attack test shall not proceed unless the emission results of the ex-ante test fulfil the applicable emission limits.

The tests conducted by regional market surveillance authorities shall aim to reproduce the attacks likely to be experienced by certain vehicle types with regard to emissions in the field due to a high benefit-cost ratio. These may include attempts to tamper with vehicles by exploiting existing tampering, security and cybersecurity vulnerabilities, or by installing tampering products that are available on the market. The selection of attacks shall be based on the risk assessment described in paragraph 3.3.1.

3.3.3. Test evaluation The Contracting Party authority shall determine the outcome of the test by evaluating the effects of the attack on exhaust emissions or on the integrity of the data used by the systems listed in paragraph 3.1., taking account of the response of the vehicle to the attacks. The authority shall come to a ‘pass’, ‘follow-up’ or ‘fail’ decision on one or both aspects, as appropriate according to the nature of the attack.

A ‘pass’ outcome requires no further action.

A ‘follow-up’ outcome shall be followed by the activities described in paragraph 3.3.4.

A ‘fail’ outcome shall be followed by the activities described in paragraph 3.3.5.

Following the attack, the Contracting Party authority may condition the vehicle by driving it over a certain distance, over multiple trips, or in other conditions that are deemed appropriate for the attack to be detected.

3.3.3.1. Evaluation of effects on exhaust emissions (pollutants monitored by OBM) After the attack and optional conditioning, an ex-post Type 1 or RDE test shall be performed. The ex-ante and ex-post tests shall be of the same type. If two RDE tests are driven, the tests shall be performed over the same route, with similar driving behaviour, and under comparable environmental and traffic conditions.

Following the ex-post emissions test, the test outcome shall be determined for each pollutant monitored by the OBM system. The test outcome shall be considered a ‘pass’ if one of the following is observed:

(a) Exhaust emissions do not increase substantially from those of the ex-ante emissions test. A substantial increase shall be understood as an exhaust emissions increase by more than 100 per cent of the applicable emission limit and where emissions of the ex-post test are above the applicable OBD threshold.

(b) Exhaust emissions are substantially increased to a level of up to 2.5 times the applicable emission limit, while the tampering detection level is set to ‘Level 1’ or higher.

(c) Exhaust emissions are substantially increased to a level equal or higher than 2.5 times the applicable emission limit, while the tampering detection level is set to ‘Level 2’ and the corresponding OBM status has transitioned to ‘Error’.

ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/oj 103/125EN OJ L, 29.5.2026 If the test outcome is not a direct ‘pass’, the vehicle may be conditioned further to allow more evaluation time for the OBM system to transition the pollutant monitoring statuses and tampering detection level.

When, after further conditioning, the monitoring statuses or tampering detection level do not transition in such a way that they lead to a ‘pass’ outcome, the test outcome shall be considered a ‘follow-up’ if one of the following

outcomes is observed:

(a) Exhaust emissions are substantially increased to a level of up to 2.5 times the applicable emission limit, while the tampering detection level is set to ‘Level 0’.

(b) Exhaust emissions are substantially increased to a level equal or higher than 2.5 times the applicable emission limit, while the corresponding OBM status has transitioned to ‘Error’ and the tampering detection level is set to ‘Level 1’ or lower.

If the outcome is neither a ‘pass’ nor a ‘follow-up’, it shall be considered a ‘fail’.

Vehicles not equipped with an OBM system shall be excluded from the evaluation of the effects on exhaust emissions according to this paragraph.

3.3.3.2. Evaluation of effects on exhaust emissions (pollutants not monitored by OBM) After the attack and optional conditioning, an ex-post Type 1 or RDE test shall be performed. The ex-ante and ex-post tests shall be of the same type. If two RDE tests are driven, the tests shall be performed over the same route, with similar driving behaviour, and under comparable environmental and traffic conditions.

Following the ex-post emissions test, for all pollutants not monitored by the OBM system, the test outcome shall be considered a ‘follow-up’ when the pollutants are substantially increased to a level above the applicable OBD threshold values as specified in paragraph 6.8.2 of UN Regulation No 154 while the malfunction indicator (MI) is not activated. In any other case, it shall be considered a ‘pass’.

If the test outcome is not a direct ‘pass’, the vehicle may be conditioned further to allow more evaluation time for the OBD system to activate the malfunction indicator.

3.3.3.3. Evaluation of effects on the integrity of data Following the attack and optional conditioning, the outcome shall be considered a ‘pass’ when the attack is unsuccessful in modifying data of the systems listed in paragraph 3.1.

If the attack is successful in modifying data of the systems listed in paragraph 3.1., the outcome shall be evaluated

by the Contracting Party authority on the following two criteria:

(a) Impact: what the relevance of data modification is in terms of impact on the environment;

(b) Response: whether the vehicle responded by adequately conveying information about the invalidity of the modified data.

When the impact is regarded as insignificant, the outcome shall be considered a ‘pass’.

When the impact is regarded as significant, and the response is deemed adequate by the authority, the outcome shall be considered a ‘pass’.

When the impact is regarded as significant and the response is deemed inadequate, the outcome shall be considered a ‘follow-up’. In such cases, the market surveilance authority shall contact the manufacturer to inform them of the outcome of the test, the characteristics of the vehicle and the nature of the tests performed.

The manufacturer may propose further conditioning to allow additional time for the vehicle to respond to the attack, or repeated tests on similar vehicles. Following the further conditioning or repeated tests, the response of the vehicle shall be evaluated. If the vehicle response is still deemed inadequate by the Contracting Party authority, the outcome shall be confirmed as a ‘follow-up’. If the response of the vehicle is deemed adequate, the outcome shall be considered a ‘pass’.

104/125 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/ojEN OJ L, 29.5.2026

3.3.4. Follow-up activities In the case of an attack with an outcome considered as ‘follow-up’, it shall be investigated in detail, where necessary in cooperation with the manufacturer and the granting type-approval authority, to establish:

(a) which vulnerabilities were exploited and whether these were identified at the time of type-approval;

(b) in case that vulnerabilities were identified at the time of type-approval, whether the mitigation measures have been properly applied;

(c) whether the vulnerabilities apply to other vehicle types with regard to emissions.

Without prejudice to requirements of Chapter XI of Regulation (EU) 2018/858 or equivalent provisions in another Contracting Party, the manufacturer shall, within a period agreed with the Contracting Party authority, propose a technical solution to the Contracting Party authority to increase the resistance of the vehicle against attacks, either by effectively mitigating the exploitation of the vulnerability or by implementing methods to detect the attack and initiate an appropriate response, along with a plan to implement this technical solution. The Contracting Party authority shall evaluate the technical solution and accompanying implementation plan and request modifications where appropriate.

When the technical solution and implementation plan are accepted by the Contracting Party authority, the manufacturer shall proceed with the implementation of the technical solution as agreed with the Contracting Party authority.

When the technical solution and implementation plan fail to satisfy the Contracting Party authority, the outcome shall be considered a ‘fail’.

The results of the investigation of attacks with a ‘follow-up’ outcome shall be brought to the attention of to the EU Forum for Exchange of Information on Enforcement or similar entity in a Contracting Party.

3.3.5. Reporting, corrective and administrative measures following a ‘fail’ outcome A ‘fail’ outcome upon an attack shall be investigated in detail, where necessary in cooperation with the manufacturer and the granting type-approval authority, to establish:

(a) which vulnerabilities were exploited and whether these were identified at the time of type-approval;

(b) in case that vulnerabilities were identified at the time of type-approval, whether the mitigation measures have been properly applied;

(c) whether the vulnerabilities apply to other vehicle types with regard to emissions.

The details of tests with a ‘fail’ outcome shall be reported to the manufacturer, and the Contracting Party authorities shall require the manufacturer to take measures in accordance with Chapter XI on Safeguard Clauses of Regulation (EU) 2018/858 or equivalent provisions in another Contracting Party to ensure that the exploited vulnerability is effectively mitigated, preferably by an over-the-air software update of the relevant vehicle systems according to UN Regulation No 156.

In determining the appropriateness of corrective measures, authorities shall consider the state of technology of the vehicle type with regard to emissions, the technical feasibility of possible mitigations and the likelihood of exploitation of the vulnerability (approximated by the benefit-cost ratio of the attack). The manufacturer may, with appropriate supporting evidence, demonstrate that a vulnerability cannot be effectively mitigated or that an appropriate response from the tampering detection cannot be realised, due to technical limitations of the vehicle’s architecture. If the manufacturer comprehensively demonstrates to the Contracting Party authority that a mitigation is not technically feasible, the manufacturer shall not be required to provide corrective measures.

The results of the investigation of attacks with a ‘fail’ outcome shall be brought to the attention of the EU Forum for Exchange of Information on Enforcement or similar entity in a Contracting Party. In case of vulnerabilities that cannot be effectively mitigated due to technical limitations are identified, the Forum or similar entity shall consider requesting corresponding additional mitigations in future type approvals.

3.4. Roles and responsibilities for Contracting Parties and recognised third parties Contracting Parties and recognised third parties may verify whether vehicles belonging to a certain vehicle type with regard to emissions are sufficiently protected against tampering attempts, security and cybersecurity attacks affecting the systems listed in paragraph 3.1. according to the methods described in paragraph 3.3.2.

4. Administrative provisions

4.1. Administrative provisions for anti-tampering, security and cybersecurity Documentation to demonstrate compliance with paragraph 3.1. shall be made available by the manufacturer in

two parts:

(a) The formal documentation package for the approval, according to documentation requirements in UN Regulation No. 155 paragraph 3.3., which shall be supplied to the type-approval authority at the time of submission of the type approval application. This documentation package shall be used by the type- approval authority as the basic reference for the approval process. The type-approval authority shall ensure that this documentation package remains available for at least 10 years counted from the time when production of the vehicle type (with regard to emissions) is definitively discontinued.

(b) Additional material relevant to the requirements of this regulation may be retained by the manufacturer, but made open for inspection at the time of type-approval. The manufacturer shall ensure that any material made open for inspection at the time of type approval remains available for at least a period of 10 years counted from the time when production of the vehicle type (with regard to emissions) is definitively discontinued.

In cases where information is shown to be covered by intellectual property rights or to constitute specific know- how of the manufacturer or of their suppliers, the manufacturer or their suppliers shall make available sufficient information to enable the checks referred to in this Regulation to be made properly. Such information shall be treated on a confidential basis.

The manufacturer shall provide a manufacturer’s declaration of compliance with the anti-tampering, security and cybersecurity requirements of this Regulation for the purposes of type-approval. This declaration shall use the format provided in Appendix 2 to Annex 2.

1.2. Pass/Fail decision of single vehicle The Pass/Fail decision of a single vehicle shall be based on the low temperature range ratio defined in paragraph

6.1.3. of Annex B10 to UN Regulation 154.

The verification of the single vehicle low temperature range ratio shall lead to a Pass if the reported low temperature range ratio multiplied by 1.04 is higher or equal to the declared low temperature range ratio according to the equation below.

1.3. Pass/Fail decision for a sample The verification procedure shall be performed with an adequate number of vehicles (at least 1 and not more than

4). The vehicle survey as defined in Appendix 1 of Annex 5 shall be used for all vehicles selected for testing. For the purposes of deciding on a pass/fail result for the sample, ‘p’ is the count of passed results, and ‘f’ is the count of failed results. Each passed test result shall increase the ‘p’ count by 1 and each failed test result shall increase the ‘f’ count by 1 for the relevant open statistical procedure.

Upon the incorporation of valid test results to an open instance of the statistical procedure, the type approval

authority shall perform the following actions:

(a) update the cumulative sample size ‘n’ for that instance to reflect the total number of valid tests incorporated to the statistical procedure;

(b) following an evaluation of the results, update the count of passed results ‘p’ and the count of failed results ‘f’;

(c) check whether a decision is reached with the procedure described below.

The decision depends on the cumulative sample size ‘n’, the passed and failed result counts ‘p’ and ‘f. For the decision on a pass/fail of an ISC sample the granting type approval authority shall use the decision chart in Table 11/1. The charts indicate the decision to be taken for a given cumulative sample size ‘n’ and failed count result ‘f’.

Two decisions are possible for a statistical procedure for a given combination of low temperature vehicle family: ‘Sample pass’ decision shall be reached when the applicable decision chart from Table 11/1 gives a ‘PASS’ decision for the current cumulative sample size ‘n’ and the count of failed results ‘f’.

ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/oj 115/125EN OJ L, 29.5.2026 ‘Sample fail’ decision shall be reached, for a given cumulative sample size ‘n’, when at least one of the following

conditions is fulfilled:

In this case it shall be undertaken according to Annex 5 of UN Regulation No. 179 on brake emissions by means of an ISC test procedure.

1. Selection of Vehicles for ISC Testing At least one but not more than four in-service vehicles representative of one or more interpolation families sharing the same friction braking share coefficient shall be randomly chosen. The criteria for sharing the same friction braking share coefficient among several interpolation families are established in paragraph 4.1. of Annex 5 of UN Regulation No. 179 on brake emissions.

In order for a vehicle to be subjected to an in-service conformity test procedure, the following requirements shall

apply:

(a) No misuse of the brake system or vehicle, if detectable;

(b) No obvious overuse of the brake system and brake components;

(c) No visible damage to the brake system and brake components (e.g. hot spots on the friction ring or visible signs of corrosion);

(d) Maintenance of the vehicle and the brake system according to the requirements of the vehicle manufacturer;

(e) No user-visible active error entry in the fault memory;

(f) The vehicle shall be equipped with original parts or original replacement parts as defined in paragraph 3. of UN Regulation No. 179 on brake emissions, no modified components are allowed;

(g) The vehicle life time shall not exceed the values defined in Table 12/1.

If there are doubts that the brake system has not been adequately bedded, the responsible authority or the third party executing the test may require additional bedding of the brakes, according to the manufacturer’s specifications.

Table 12/1 Lifetime requirements of recuperation capabilities of the whole vehicle c-factor measurement Vehicles of categories M1, N1 and M2 Main life time Up to 160 000 km or 8 years, whichever comes first

Note: The replacement of wear parts of the brake corner within defined service intervals is allowed

2. ISC test The selected vehicle shall be tested on a chassis dynamometer according to the test procedure and requirements established in the Annex 5 of UN Regulation No. 179 on brake emissions.

The whole vehicle PM and SPN10 emissions of the tested vehicle shall be calculated according to Eq. 7.1 of UN 10 Regulation No. 179 on brake emissions and reported, considering:

(a) the friction braking share coefficient measured according to this paragraph, c ;

ISC

(b) the reference emission factors of the front and rear brake corner emission family parents measured at the type approval;

(c) the wheel loads of the vehicle with the highest test mass among those sharing the same friction braking share coefficient as indicated in paragraph 1.

ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/oj 117/125EN OJ L, 29.5.2026

3. ISC data evaluation The interpolation family under verification or the interpolation families as applicable, shall be deemed to comply with ISC requirements, if the whole vehicle PM emissions of the selected ISC vehicle are below or equal to the 10 regulatory limit, as defined in Table 3 of UN Regulation No. 179 on brake emissions.

If the whole vehicle PM emissions of the selected ISC vehicle are above the regulatory limit, another vehicle of 10 the same interpolation family or interpolation families as applicable, shall be selected and tested in the same condition as indicated in paragraph 2, a new verification procedure as described above will be completed considering this new vehicle, whose result will be incorporated in the statistical procedure described in paragraph 4.

4. Statistical evaluation of ISC samples The decision depends on the cumulative sample size 'n', the passed and failed result counts 'p' and 'f'. For the decision on a pass/fail of a verification sample the decision chart in Table 12/2 shall be used. The chart indicates the decision to be taken for a given cumulative sample size 'n' and failed count result 'f'.

Two decisions are possible for a statistical procedure for the whole vehicle brake emissions, calculated according to paragraph 2.

(a) ‘Sample pass’ outcome shall be reached when the decision chart from Table 12/2 gives a "PASS" outcome for the current cumulative sample size 'n' and the count of failed results 'f'.

(b) ‘Sample fail’ decision shall be reached when, for a given cumulative sample size 'n', when the applicable decision chart from Table 12/2 gives a "FAIL" decision for the current cumulative sample size 'n' and the count of failed results 'f'.

If no decision is reached ('UND' = undecided), the statistical procedure shall remain open and further results shall be incorporated into it, until a decision is reached.

ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/oj 119/125EN OJ L, 29.5.2026 Annex 13 - Appendix 1 Methods for in-service conformity checks and optional regional market surveillance of OBM systems This appendix sets out the in-service conformity (ISC) methodology for checking the conformity of the NOx and PM emissions monitoring performed by OBM systems, and optional market surveillance methods for the verification of compliance with the general requirements of OBM systems.

Part A: In-service conformity checks of OBM systems

1. Introduction

1.1. In-service conformity checks of OBM systems shall ensure that the OBM system present in a sample of vehicles belonging to the same OBM family as defined in paragraph 2. performs calculations of distance-specific emissions of NOx with reasonable accuracy and that no systematic underestimation of emissions occurs.

1.2. In-service conformity checks shall also ensure that OBM systems are capable of detecting exceedances of at least

2.5 times the relevant exhaust emission limit values set out in Table 1A of UN Regulation No. 154 for both NOx and PM.

1.3. In-service conformity checks shall be performed by vehicle manufacturers and granting type-approval authorities.

1.4. In-service conformity checks may be performed by Contracting Parties and recognised third parties.

1.5. In-service conformity checks shall have no minimum frequency requirements.

2. OBM family definition

2.1. For the purposes of in-service conformity testing of OBM systems, an OBM family shall consist of vehicles that are covered by the same declaration of compliance in accordance with Annex 6 of UN Regulation No. 180 on OBM.

3. Vehicle selection criteria and eligibility for testing

3.1. The granting type-approval authority and other relevant entities shall collect necessary information to determine which OBM families to check. Anonymous OBM data submitted by manufacturers to authorities according to paragraph 7.2. shall be considered.

3.2. In-service conformity checks of OBM systems shall be performed for a period of up to 200 000 km or 10 years, whichever comes first.

3.3. In addition to the eligibility criteria for in-service conformity checks from paragraph 2. of this annex, the applicable technical vehicle selection criteria will be those laid out in Annex 4.

4. OBM in-service conformity tests

4.1. The in-service conformity checks of OBM systems shall be performed by means of a laboratory or on-road emissions test. For on-road tests with PEMS equipment, the validation procedure laid down in Annex 6 of UN Regulation No 168 shall be followed.

4.2. The tests shall be performed in such a manner that the emissions and distances covered by the emissions test and the corresponding OBM trip are the same.

120/125 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/ojEN OJ L, 29.5.2026

4.3. The checks shall be performed on a sample of vehicles belonging to the same OBM family, and the results shall be evaluated according to the evaluation method described in paragraph 5. Each vehicle tested shall contribute, at most, two results to the verification described in paragraph 5.1. and two results to the verification described in paragraph 5.2. (one result for PM and one result for NOx).

4.4. In-service conformity checks of OBM systems shall be conducted in parallel with the ISC tests for verifying compliance with tailpipe emission limits, as outlined in Annex 4. The same emissions test (RDE according to UN Regulation No. 168 or Type 1 (4 phase WLTP according to UN Regulation No. 154) shall support both testing methodologies.

4.5. As an alternative method, the in-service conformity checks of OBM systems according to paragraph 1.1. may be performed using any on-road trip longer than 40 minutes and 20 kilometres which complies with the ambient and dynamic trip conditions laid down in paragraphs 8.1. and 8.2. of UN Regulation No 168, with a maximum speed of 160 km/h. If a part of the test or the entire test is performed outside of extended conditions, or if the maximum speed is exceeded, the test shall be considered invalid.

4.6. A vehicle with at least one monitoring status of exhaust emissions set to ‘Intermediate’ prior to testing shall undergo a pre-conditioning procedure. During this pre-conditioning, the vehicle shall be driven for at least 40 minutes and 20 kilometres with the internal combustion engine running. The pre-conditioning shall include at least 5 consecutive minutes in which the vehicle shall be driven with a velocity of 90 km/h or higher. After preconditioning, the powertrain shall be deactivated, and all the monitoring statuses of exhaust emissions shall be read. Vehicles shall be eligible for ISC testing if none of the monitoring statuses is set to ‘Error’.

4.7. A vehicle with an ‘OBM distance since monitoring status reset’ (parameter 1.51 of Annex 4 of UN Regulation No.

180 on OBM) value of less than 400 km shall undergo pre-conditioning as described in paragraph 4.6. until this parameter exceeds 400 km.

5. Evaluation Of Test Results

5.1. The results of the emissions test shall be used to check the accuracy of the calculation of distance-specific exhaust emissions of NOx performed by the OBM system according to paragraph 7.4.

5.2. If the results of the emission test are equal or greater than 2.5 times the relevant exhaust emission limit values set out in UN Regulation No. 154 for either NOx or PM, the results of the emissions test shall be used to verify that the OBM system can detect such exceedances. This verification shall not apply to tests performed using the alternative method described in paragraph 4.6.

5.3. At the end of the emissions test, the value reported by the OBM system for the ‘Distance-specific NOx’ for the OBM trip (parameter 2.5 of Annex 4 of UN Regulation No. 180 on OBM) and the distance-specific NOx emissions value for the trip as measured by the emissions laboratory or PEMS equipment shall be recorded and compared.

5.4. The distance-specific NOx emissions value for the trip as measured by PEMS equipment shall be calculated by dividing the cumulated NOx mass emissions over the trip by the total trip distance. The PEMS margin correction from paragraph 4. of Annex 11 to UN Regulation No 168 and the corrections from paragraph 5. of Annex 7 to the same Regulation shall apply.

5.5. Neither the value from the OBM system nor the value measured by the emissions laboratory or PEMS equipment shall be modified by any other correcting factors.

6. Statistical Procedure For OBM In-Service Conformity

6.1. Prior to the performance of the first OBM ISC test for an OBM family, the manufacturer, accredited laboratory or technical service (“party”) shall notify the intent of performing in-service conformity testing of a given OBM family to the granting type-approval authority. Upon this notification, the granting type-approval authority shall open a new statistical folder to process the results for the OBM family to process the results for that particular party or that pool of parties.

6.2. Test results from two or more accredited laboratories or technical services may be pooled for the purposes of a common statistical procedure.

6.3. The pooling of test results shall require the written consent from all the interested parties providing test results to a pool of results, and a notification to the granting type-approval authority prior to the start of testing.

6.4. One of the parties pooling test results shall be designated as leader of the pool and be responsible for data reporting and communication with the granting type-approval authority.

6.5. The sample size in a statistical folder shall be ten vehicles.

7. Compliance assessment

7.1. The decision regarding the compliance of an OBM family according to paragraphs 1.1. and 1.2. shall be made according to Appendix 2.

7.2. The decision regarding the compliance of an OBM family according to paragraph 1.1. shall be made every time that the sample size is reached, and the number of vehicles in the sample shall be reset to zero thereafter.

7.3. The decision regarding the compliance of an OBM family according to paragraph 1.2. shall be made when the emissions test result is equal or greater than 2.5 times the applicable emission limit for PM or NOx.

7.4. The durability multipliers for adjusting exhaust emission limits under UN Regulation No. 154 shall apply during additional lifetime.

8. Reporting, corrective and administrative measures

8.1. If an OBM family is found to be non-compliant, type-approval authorities shall require the manufacturer to take measures in accordance with Annex 4. The granting type-approval authority may extend the investigations to vehicles in service of the same manufacturer belonging to other ISC families with the same OBM system which are likely to be affected by the same non- compliance.

8.2. The OBM system compliance testing shall be part of the annual report by the granting type-approval authority.

Part B: Optional market surveillance of OBM systems

9. Introduction

9.1. OBM market surveillance checks shall ensure that the OBM system of vehicles placed in the market complies with the general requirements laid out in paragraphs 7.1. to 7.8.

9.2. Market surveillance tests of OBM systems shall have no minimum frequency requirements.

10. Vehicle selection criteria and eligibility for testing

10.1. Market surveillance authorities shall select the vehicles to be tested based on a risk assessment. They shall consider anonymous OBM data submitted from manufacturers to authorities.

10.2. Market surveillance tests may be performed for as long as vehicles are in use.

11. Compliance assessment

11.1. Market surveillance authorities shall perform an assessment of compliance of vehicles with the general requirements of OBM systems and of the EEEDWS.

11.2. As part of this verification of general requirements, market surveillance authorities shall verify the integrity of OBM data from its production to its submission by the vehicle manufacturer. This verification may be performed by tracing OBM datasets from selected test trips by means of their hash values, or through other appropriate methods.

12. Reporting, corrective and administrative measures

12.1. If an OBM family is found to be non-compliant, market surveillance authorities shall proceed in accordance with Annex 4.

The market surveillance authority may extend the investigations to vehicles in service of the same manufacturer belonging to other OBM families with the same OBM system which are likely to be affected by the same non- compliance.

ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/oj 123/125EN OJ L, 29.5.2026 Annex 13 – Appendix 2 Compliance criteria for an OBM family

1. Compliance criteria according to Part A, paragraph 1.1. of Appendix 1.

Where 10 pairs of a distance-specific NOx emissions value from an emission test and a ‘Distance-specific NOx’ value for the corresponding OBM trip are available, the compliance of the OBM family with the accuracy requirements for the calculation of distance-specific exhaust emissions of NOx can be established based on the differences between the pairs.

If an emissions test result is equal or greater than 2.5 times the applicable emission limit for PM or NOx, or if the OBM monitoring status for NOx (parameter 1.47. of Annex 4 of UN Regulation No. 180 on OBM) changes to ‘Error’ following the test, the distance-specific NOx emissions value from such emission test and the ‘Distance- specific NOx’ value for the corresponding OBM trip shall not count toward the 10 pairs for the calculation of compliance criteria described in this paragraph.

Δ shall be calculated as the average difference between the distance-specific NOx emissions from emissions test results (NOxemissions,i)and the ‘Distance-specific NOx’ for the OBM trip (NOxOBM,i) for all valid tests:

10 1 Δ¼ ∑ðNOxemissions;i – NOxOBM;iÞ 10 i¼1 σ shall be calculated as the root-mean-square of the differences over all tests: sffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi 10 1 σ¼ ∑ ðNOxemissions;i – NOxOBM;iÞ2 9 i¼1

The OBM family shall be compliant in the following cases:

(a) If Δ is equal or smaller than zero.

(b) If Δ is greater than zero but smaller than 30% of the applicable NOx limit, and σ is less than 50% of the applicable NOx limit.

In any other case, the OBM family shall be non-compliant, and the procedure of paragraph 7. of Appendix 1 shall apply.

2. Compliance criteria according to Part A, paragraph 1.2. of Appendix 1.

If the emissions test result is equal or greater than 2.5 times the applicable emission limit for PM or NOx, specific compliance criteria shall apply based on the results of the single test. The results from such tests shall not be considered for compliance according to Part A, paragraph 1.1. of Appendix 1.

The OBM family shall be compliant in the following cases:

(a) When the emissions test result is equal or greater than 2.5 times the applicable emission limit for PM:

(i) If the OBM monitoring status for PM is set to ‘Error’ following the OBM trip corresponding to the emissions test.

(b) When the emissions test result is equal or greater than 2.5 times the applicable emission limit for NOx:

(i) If the OBM monitoring status for NOx is set to ‘Error’ following the OBM trip corresponding to the emissions test.

124/125 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2026/1086/ojEN OJ L, 29.5.2026

(ii) If the OBM monitoring status for NOx is not set to ‘Error’ after the OBM trip corresponding to the emissions test, and the difference between the distance- specific NOx emissions measured during the emissions test and the ‘Distance- specific NOx’ for the OBM trip (parameter 2.5 of Annex 4 of UN Regulation No. 180 on OBM) is equal to or less than 30% of the distance-specific NOx emissions measured during the emissions test (i.e., the OBM system does not underreport NOx emissions during the test by more than 30%).

In any other case, the OBM family shall be non-compliant, and the procedure of paragraph 8. of Appendix 1 shall apply.
