The measurements shall be conducted on the engine referred to in Paragraph 3.3.4. above coupled to a dynamometer. With the throttle completely open, the bench shall be adjusted so as to obtain the engine speed(s) corresponding to the rated maximum power of the engine. For the measurement of back pressure, the distance at which the pressure tap shall be placed from the exhaust manifold is indicated in Annex 4 of this Regulation.
6.3.4.2 Test Method With Vehicle
The measurements shall be carried out on the vehicle referred to in Paragraph 3.3.3. above.
The test shall be conducted:
either on the road,
or on a roller dynamometer.
With the throttle completely open, the engine must be loaded so as to obtain the engine speed corresponding to the rated maximum power of the engine (engine speed S).
For the measurement of back pressure, the distance at which the pressure tap shall be placed from the exhaust manifold is indicated in Annex 4 to this Regulation.
6.4. Additional Specifications Regarding Silencing Systems or Components Filled With
Fibrous Materials
Absorbing fibrous materials may be used in silencing systems or components only when it is established by appropriate means of design and manufacturing, that the efficiency of the system in traffic conditions is sufficient to comply with the existing regulations. Such a silencing system is deemed to be effective in traffic conditions if the exhaust gas is not in contact with the fibrous materials or if, the silencing system being emptied of its absorbing materials and tested on vehicle in conformity with the procedures described in Regulation No. 51, Annex 3, Paragraph 3.1. and 3.2., the acoustic pressure levels comply with the provisions laid down in Paragraph 6.2. above.
If that condition is not fulfilled, the complete silencing system shall be submitted to conventional conditioning using one of the three installations and procedures described below. When the procedure described in Paragraph 6.2.1.2. above is employed, the applicant for approval may ask for the emptying or the conditioning of the original silencing system.
6.4.1. Continuous Road Operation for 10 000 km
6.4.1.1. About half this operation shall consist of town driving and the other half of long-distance runs
at high speed: continuous road operation can be replaced by a corresponding test-track programme.
6.4.1.2. The two engine speeds must be alternated several times.
6.4.1.3. The complete test programme must include a minimum of 10 breaks of at least three-hour
duration in order to reproduce the effects of cooling and any condensation which may occur.

ORIGINAL :UNITED NATIONS of January 18.1983
6.4.2. Conditioning on a Test Bench
6.4.2.1. Using standard parts and observing the vehicle manufacturer's instructions, the silencer
must be fitted to the engine, which is coupled to a dynamometer.
6.4.2.2. The test must be conducted in six six-hour periods with a break of at least 12 hours between
each period in order to reproduce the effects of cooling and any condensation which may occur.
6.4.2.3. During each six-hour period, the engine shall be run under the following conditions in turn:
(1) five minutes at idling speed;
(2) one-hour Sequence under 1/4 load at 3/4 of rated maximum speed (S);
(3) one-hour Sequence under 1/2 load at 3/4 of rated maximum speed (S);
(4) 10-minute sequence under full load at 3/4 of rated maximum speed (S);
(5) 15-minute sequence under 1/2 load at rated maximum speed (S);
(6) 30-minute sequence under 1/4 load at rated maximum speed (S);
Total duration of the six sequences: three hours.
Each period must comprise two sets of the six above-mentioned sequences.
6.4.2.4. During the test, the silencer must not be cooled by a forced draught simulating normal
airflow around the vehicle. Nevertheless, at the request of the manufacturer, the silencer may be cooled in order not to exceed the temperature recorded at its inlet when the vehicle is running at maximum speed.
6.4.3. Conditioning by Pulsation
The exhaust system or components of said system is/are fitted to the vehicle referred to in Paragraph 3.3.3. above or the engine referred to in Paragraph 3.3.4. In the former case, the vehicle must be mounted on a roller dynamometer, and, in the second case, the engine must be mounted on a dynamometer.
The test apparatus described below is fitted at the outlet of the silencing system.
6.4.3.1. Test Apparatus
The test apparatus, a detailed diagram of which is shown in Annex 3 to this Regulation must be fitted at the outlet of the exhaust system. Any other apparatus providing equivalent results is acceptable.

7. EXTENSION OF APPROVAL
The silencing system manufacturer or his duly accredited representative may ask the administrative department which has granted the approval of the silencing system for one or several types of vehicles, for an extension of the approval to other types of vehicles.
The procedure is that described in Paragraph 3 above.
Notice of the extension of approval (or refusal of extension) shall be communicated to the Parties to the Agreement which apply this Regulation in accordance with the procedure specified in Paragraph 5.3. above.
8. MODIFICATION OF THE TYPE OF SILENCING SYSTEM 8.1. Every modification of the type of replacement silencing system shall be notified to the
administrative department which approved the type of silencing system. The said department may then either:
8.1.1. consider that the modifications made are unlikely to have an appreciable adverse effect, or
8.1.2. require a further test report from the technical service responsible for conducting the tests. 8.2. Confirmation or refusal of approval, specifying the alterations shall be communicated by the
procedure specified in Paragraph 5.3. above to the Parties to the Agreement applying this Regulation.
