Commission Regulation (EU) 2022/2383 of 6 December 2022 amending Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 as regards the emissions type-approval of heavy duty vehicles using pure biodiesel (Text with EEA relevance) THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2009 on type-approval of motor vehicles and engines with respect to emissions from heavy duty vehicles (Euro VI) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information and amending Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 and Directive 2007/46/EC and repealing Directives 80/1269/EEC, 2005/55/EC and 2005/78/EC OJ L 188, 18.7.2009, p. 1. , and in particular Articles 4(3) and 5(4) and Article 12 thereof, Whereas: (1) Vehicles type-approved in the EU need to be able to run on pure biodiesel and on different blends of biodiesel and fossil fuels in case of need. (2) In accordance with Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 Commission Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 of 25 May 2011 implementing and amending Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council with respect to emissions from heavy duty vehicles (Euro VI) and amending Annexes I and III to Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 167, 25.6.2011, p. 1). , type-approval of motor vehicles and engines with regard to emissions requires that the manufacturer ensures compliance with the specifications of reference fuels set out in Annex IX to that Regulation used for type-approval testing. (3) Pure biodiesel (FAME B100) is not listed in Annex IX to Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 as a reference fuel for the emission type-approval of heavy duty vehicles. Type-approval testing needs to be duplicated on both diesel (B7) as well as pure biodiesel (B100) in order to demonstrate compliance with emissions requirements. To minimise duplication of testing and to facilitate the certification for the use of pure biodiesel and biodiesel blends (such as FAME B20/B30), it is necessary to introduce the specifications for pure biodiesel as a reference fuel, based on relevant international and European standards. Demonstrating compliance with the emission testing requirements for a B100 type-approval should be allowed by emission testing of the parent engine on pure biodiesel. While for the necessary in-service conformity testing any biofuel blend may be chosen. (4) For the approval of vehicles with an approved engine an addendum for the specifications of the type-approval certificate is necessary. (5) Commission Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly. (6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Technical Committee – Motor Vehicles, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Annexes I, II and IX to Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. Done at Brussels, 6 December 2022. For the Commission The President Ursula von der Leyen

Annex

ANNEX (1) Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 is amended as follows: (a) in point 1.1.2 the introductory sentence is replaced by the following: If the manufacturer permits the engine family to run on market fuels that do not comply either with Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council Directive 98/70/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 1998 relating to the quality of petrol and diesel fuels and amending Council Directive 93/12/EEC (OJ L 350, 28.12.1998, p. 58).; , or with CEN standard EN 228:2012 in the case of unleaded petrol or CEN standard EN 590:2013 in the case of diesel or CEN standard EN 14214:2012+A2:2019 in the case of FAME B100, such as paraffinic fuel (CEN standard EN 15940) or others, the manufacturer shall, in addition to the requirements in point 1.1.1, comply with the following requirements: (b) after point 1.3 the following point is added: 1.4. Requirements on B100 type-approval 1.4.1. The type-approval of a B100 family with a parent engine tested on FAME B100 shall be extended to all family members and biodiesel blends with a FAME content that exceeds that of FAME B30 (CEN standard EN 16709), without further testing. The type-approval may be extended to biodiesel blends with a lower FAME content, if the requirements of this regulation are also satisfied for these blends without making any adjustments to the vehicle. In such a case the manufacturer shall declare the biodiesel blends the engine family is capable of running on in point 3.2.2.2.1 of the Information Document as set out in Part 1 of Appendix 4. If the approval authority determines that the submitted application is not fully representative, biodiesel blends other than FAME B100 may be selected by the approval authority and tested.; (c) the following point 3.2.1.7 is inserted: 3.2.1.7. In the case of a B100 type-approval, the approval mark shall contain B100 after the national symbol.; (d) in Appendix 4 PART 1 point 3.2.2.2 is replaced by the following: 3.2.2.2. Heavy duty vehicles Diesel/Petrol/LPG/NG-H/NG-L/NG-HL/Ethanol (ED95)/Ethanol (E85)/LNG/LNG20/B100 (1) (6); (e) in the Addendum to Appendix 5 point 1.1.5 is replaced by the following: 1.1.5. Category of engine: Diesel/Petrol/LPG/NG-H/NG-L/NG-HL/Ethanol (ED95)/Ethanol (E85)/LNG/LNG20/B100 (1); (f) point 8 of Appendix 6 is replaced by the following: 8. Signature: Attachment: Information package. Test report. Addendum; (g) the following Addendum is added to Appendix 6: ; (h) in the Addendum to Appendix 7 point 1.1.5 is replaced by the following: 1.1.5. Category of engine: Diesel/Petrol/LPG/NG-H/NG-L/NG-HL/Ethanol (ED95)/Ethanol (E85)/LNG/LNG20/B100 (1); (2) in Annex II, point 4.4.2, the following sentence is added: In the case of a B100 type-approval, approval authorities may request to test the vehicle on biodiesel with any FAME content.;

(3) in Annex IX, under the heading Technical data on fuels for testing compression ignition and dual-fuel engines, the following table is inserted after the table Type: Diesel (B7): Type: pure Biodiesel (B100) for compression ignition engines If CFPP is – 20 °C or lower, the viscosity shall be measured at – 20 °C. The measured value shall not exceed 48 mm2/s. In this case, the standard test methods are applicable without the precision data owing to non-Newtonian behaviour in a two-phase system. A 2 ml sample and apparatus equipped with a thermal detection device shall be used. The determination of derived cetane number for FAME is not included in the precision determinations of some test methods.
