3.4 Data for emission calculation

  3.4.1 The output of the analysers should be recorded both during the test and during all response checks (zero and span). This data should be recorded on a strip chart recorder or other types of data recording devices.

  3.4.2 For the evaluation of the gaseous emissions, a 1-Hertz minimum chart reading of a stable 10-minute sampling interval of each load point should be averaged. The average concentrations (conc) of NOx, O2 and/or CO2, if required, and optionally CO and HC, should be determined from the averaged chart readings and the corresponding calibration data.

  3.4.3 As a minimum, emission concentrations, engine performance and ambient condition data should be recorded over the aforementioned 10-minute period.
