Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/96of 1 October 2014supplementing Regulation (EU) No 167/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards environmental and propulsion unit performance requirements of agricultural and forestry vehicles(Text with EEA relevance) CHAPTER ISUBJECT MATTER AND DEFINITIONS
Article 1Subject matterThis Regulation establishes the detailed technical requirements and test procedures regarding environmental and propulsion unit performance with respect to pollutant emissions and permissible external sound levels, and the approval and market surveillance of agricultural and forestry vehicles, their engines and their systems, components and separate technical units in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 167/2013.
Article 2DefinitionsFor the purposes of this Regulation, the definitions in Annex XXXIII to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/208Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/208 of 8 December 2014 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 167/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to vehicle functional safety requirements for the approval of agricultural and forestry vehicles (OJ L 42, 17.2.2015, p. 1). shall apply. The following definitions shall also apply:(1)"emitted pollutants" means gaseous and particulate matter exhaust pollutant emissions;(2)"pollutant exhaust emissions after-treatment system" means the passage of exhaust gases through a device or system whose purpose is to chemically or physically alter the emitted pollutants prior to their release to the atmosphere, including catalysts, particulate traps or any other component, system or separate technical unit for the reduction or treatment of the engine gaseous and particulate matter exhaust pollutant emissions;(3)"external sound emissions abatement system" means all the components and separate technical units that comprise the exhaust and the silencing system, including the exhaust system, the air intake system, the silencer or any systems, components, and separate technical units with a relevance to the permissible external sound levels emitted by the agricultural or forestry vehicle, of a type fitted to the vehicle at the time of type-approval or extension of type-approval;(4)"pollution control device" means a component, system or separate technical unit which is part of the pollutant exhaust emissions after-treatment system;(5)"replacement pollution control device" means a component, system or separate technical unit intended to replace, partially or fully, a pollutant exhaust emissions after-treatment system on a vehicle type-approved in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 167/2013 and this Regulation;(6)"engine type" means a category of engines which do not differ in such essential engine characteristics as specified in Appendix 1 of Annex II, to Directive 97/68/EC;(7)"parent engine" means an engine representative of the propulsion unit or engine family as set out in point 7 of Annex I to Directive 97/68/EC;(8)"engine family" means a grouping of engines of a manufacturer in accordance to point 6 of Annex I of Directive 97/68/EC which, due to their design, are expected to have similar exhaust pollutant emission characteristics and which comply with the requirements of this Regulation;(9)"replacement engine" means a newly built engine intended to replace an engine in an agricultural or forestry vehicle and which has been supplied for that purpose only;(10)"auxiliaries" means all equipment, apparatus and devices listed in Table 1 of Annex 4 to UNECE Regulation No 120 01 series of amendments;(11)"engine power" means the power obtained on a test bench at the end of the crankshaft or its equivalent at the corresponding engine speed;(12)"net power" means the engine power obtained on a test bench at the end of the crankshaft or its equivalent at the corresponding engine speed with the auxiliaries, listed in Table 1 of Annex 4 to UNECE Regulation No 120, 01 series of amendmentsOJ L 166, 30.6.2015, p. 170., determined under reference atmospheric conditions.
