Each engine family shall have its own exhaust emission deterioration factors. The deterioration factors of the said engine family shall be multiplied or added to the results of new vehicle testing (include type approval certification test, conformity of production test, and COP audit test). The being multiplied or added values shall be provided as bases for determining whether or not the engine family complies with the emissions standards. Before comparing with the emissions standards, the test values shall be calculated to one more decimal place of the emission standard values and then rounded. The rounded values shall not exceed the emissions standard. For diesel passenger cars being equipped with periodically regenerating system, the test results need to further multiplied by Ki factors, if using the EU NEDC as the test driving cycle. The engine family test results being calculated by using deterioration factors or K factors in accordance with this Appendix must comply with provision 5 of the emissions standards. 2. Deterioration factors shall be determined according to one of the following methods: 2.1 Adopt a vehicle or an engine durability test 2.1.1 Carry out a durability test 2.1.1.1 The exhaust emission deterioration factors may determined by the durability test results. The applicant shall provide diesel vehicle (or engine) mileage accumulation driving cycle and durability test plan to the competent authority for approval.
