This Regulation applies to the emission type-approval with regard to exhaust emissions and evaporative emissions of the motor vehicles belonging to the following vehicle categories:

OJ L 205, 5.8.2022, p. 145 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2022/1362/oj.

(1) Regulation (EU) 2024/1257 requires new types of vehicles of categories M1 and N1 and components, systems and separate technical units intended for vehicles of categories M1 or N1 to comply with emission limits and new emission provisions from 29 November 2026 and for new vehicles of categories M1 and N1 and components, systems and separate technical units for those vehicles, from 29 November 2027 , with the exception of vehicles of categories M1 and N1 constructed by small-volume manufacturers for which the requirements shall apply as from 1 July 2030 . The specific technical provisions necessary to implement Regulation (EU) 2024/1257 should be adopted. Therefore, this Regulation aims at setting the requirements necessary for the Emission type-approval of vehicles that are to be designated as Euro 7 vehicles, Euro 7G vehicles, Euro 7ext vehicles or Euro 7Gext vehicles in accordance with Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1257.

(2) Simplification is achieved by establishing the testing procedures, methodologies and procedures, tests and checks, in accordance with the requirements specified in Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2024/1257 and eliminating tests which are no longer relevant and replacing certification tests with declarations by the vehicle manufacturer, by referring to UN Regulations where applicable, and by ensuring a consistent set of procedures and tests for the various phases of the emission type-approval.

(3) UN RegulationsIn the case of a UN Regulation the series of amendments indicated reflects the version that has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union . Supplements to the series of amendments indicated in the Official Journal publication shall apply irrespective of publication in the Official Journal of the European Union . New series of amendments adopted after the series of amendments indicated in the Official Journal publication shall be accepted as an alternative. , notably UN Regulation No 154UN Regulation No 154 – Uniform provisions concerning the approval of light duty passenger and commercial vehicles with regards to criteria emissions, emissions of carbon dioxide and fuel consumption and/or the measurement of electric energy consumption and electric range (WLTP), 02 series of amendments (OJ L, 2022/2124, 10.11.2022 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2022/2124/oj). , UN Regulation No 168UN Regulation No 168 – Uniform provisions concerning the approval of light duty passenger and commercial vehicles with regards to real driving emissions (RDE) [2024/211] (OJ L, 2024/211, 12.1.2024, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/211/oj). and UN Regulation No 83UN Regulation No 83 – Uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicles with regard to the emission of pollutants according to engine fuel requirements (OJ L, 2024/1312, 27.6.2024, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1312/oj). are referred to in this Regulation only in the context of emission type-approval for light-duty vehicles that is covered by Article 14(8)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1257. Testing procedures, methodologies and procedures, tests and checks that are included in the above-mentioned UN Regulations and relate to M2 and N2 vehicles shall be adopted subsequently under Article 14(9)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1257.

(4) In order to integrate internationally harmonised technical rules into the emission type-approval system, references should be made to UN Regulation No 154 in accordance with the requirements set out in Table 1 of Annex III to Regulation (EU) 2024/1257 regarding test conditions and administrative provisions that apply to emissions type-approval under laboratory exhaust emission measurement, but also for Model Information Document, Model of Emission Type-Approval certificate and test report ensuring that emission type-approval specificities are set out. References should be made to UN Regulation No 168 in accordance with requirements set out in Table 1 of Annex III to Regulation (EU) 2024/1257 regarding test conditions and administrative provisions that apply to Emissions type-approval under Real Driving Emission (RDE), adding requirements that comply with specific provisions of Regulation (EU) 2024/1257 regarding exhaust PN10 emissions. Where appropriate, reference should also be made to UN Regulation No 83 regarding the measurement of crankcase gases, the emissions at low ambient temperature and the in-service conformity methodology. Additionally, UN Regulation No 155UN Regulation No 155 – Uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicles with regards to cyber security and cyber security management system (OJ L, 2025/5, 10.1.2025, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2025/5/oj). should be referred to for cybersecurity measures and to ensure the secure transmission of data related to emissions.

(5) In order to reflect the average expected lifetime of vehicles in the Union, the tests, methods and procedures should include specific requirements to comply with the durability requirements of vehicles, systems, components and separate technical units under Regulation (EU) 2024/1257, more particularly under Annex IV thereto.

(6) Effective implementation is ensured by setting out roles and responsibilities of respectively manufacturers, Member States type-approval authorities and national authorities, and recognised third parties in accordance with Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2024/1257 for applicable tests and procedures. When required, templates for declaration of compliance shall be made available to manufacturers in accordance with the provisions of Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2024/1257, in particular for specific tests applying to (i) crankcase emissions (Type 3 test); (ii) durability of emission control system (Type 5 test); (iii) OBD requirements for the purposes of emission type-approval; (iv) anti-tampering, security and cybersecurity requirements; (v) regeneration; (vi) correct operation of systems using a consumable reagent and pollution control devices; (vii) CO2 ambient temperature correction (ATCT); and (viii) geofencing technologies, where applicable.

(7) In order to ensure that the required type-approval information is consistently presented and for effective implementation as well as increased transparency, the emission type-approval certificate numbering system should be adapted to Regulation (EU) 2024/1257 requirements for applicable tests and procedures, ensuring a harmonised presentation. Templates for type-approval certificates and templates for certificates of conformity should be adapted where necessary and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/683Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/683 of 15 April 2020 implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/858 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regards to the administrative requirements for the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles (OJ L 163, 26.5.2020, p. 1 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2020/683/oj). should be amended accordingly.

(8) In order to comply with the obligation provided for in Article 14(7) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1257 that for vehicle types of categories M1 and N1 , the methods for measuring pollutant exhaust emissions and evaporative emissions are to reflect those laid down in Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1151 of 1 June 2017 supplementing Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council on type-approval of motor vehicles with respect to emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 5 and Euro 6) and on access to vehicle repair and maintenance information, amending Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 and Commission Regulation (EU) No 1230/2012 and repealing Commission Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 (OJ L 175, 7.7.2017, p. 1 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2017/1151/oj). , the relevant methods, requirements and procedures should be specified in accordance with that requirement, notably for the Type 1 test, Type 3 test, Type 4 test, Type 5 test, Type 6 test and OBD requirements.

(9) The use of manipulation devices or manipulation strategies is prohibited under Regulation (EU) 2024/1257. Ensuring an effective implementation and enforcement of such prohibition is essential to safeguard the objectives of that Regulation. Specific methods, procedures, administrative procedures, reporting and documentation obligations should therefore be set out for establishing the absence of manipulation devices and manipulation strategies related to exhaust and evaporative emissions.

(10) A robust framework for the prohibition of manipulation devices and manipulation strategies should ensure that the emissions behaviour of vehicles is not altered between compliance testing and real-world driving, and that data on sensors, fuel or electric energy consumption, electric range, and battery durability remains accurate and reliable. It is therefore appropriate to set out general and technical requirements, as well as specific documentation requirements, to implement the prohibition of manipulation devices and manipulation strategies, and to clarify the roles and responsibilities of manufacturers, type-approval authorities, market surveillance authorities, the Commission and recognised third parties.

(1) M1 and N1 ;

(11) At market surveillance stage, screening tests for the presence of manipulation devices and manipulation strategies related to exhaust and evaporative emissions should focus on identifying situations where the vehicle detects test conditions followed by a change in the emissions control strategy and emissions behaviour that is not documented at type-approval. For the effective performance of such screening tests and assessment, it is appropriate that market surveillance authorities performing such tests should use a variety of testing approaches, and be able to evaluate the results of the screening by comparing them not to the emission limits set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2024/1257, but to specific thresholds based on technical considerations.

(12) In order to ensure that the required type-approval information is consistently reflected, new examples for the Euro 7 type-approval related certificate numbering system should be introduced. For effective implementation, such as for registration purposes, the templates for the certificates of conformity should be adapted where necessary. Regulation (EU) 2020/683 should be amended accordingly.

(13) In order to provide approval authorities, market surveillance authorities and registration authorities of the Member States and the manufacturers with sufficient time to implement this Regulation regarding Certificate of Conformity, the date of application of Annex XVIII should be deferred.

(14) Whenever the measures provided for in this Regulation entail the processing of personal data, that processing should be carried out in accordance with Regulations (EU) 2016/679OJ L 119, 4.5.2016, p. 1 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2016/679/oj. and (EU) 2018/1725OJ L 295, 21.11.2018, p. 39 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2018/1725/oj. of the European Parliament and of the Council, as well as the relevant national law in accordance with those Regulations.

(15) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Technical Committee – Motor vehicles (TCMV),

(2) N2 designated as Euro 7ext and Euro 7Gext in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1257.
