             Subpart A_Applicability and General Provisions
 
Sec. 1065.5  Overview of test procedures.

    (a) Some of the provisions of this part do not apply to all types of 
engines. For example, measurement of particulate matter is generally not 
required for spark-ignition engines. See the standard-setting part to 
determine which provisions in this part may not apply. Before using this 
part's procedures, read the standard-setting part to answer at least the 
following questions:
    (1) How should I warm up the test engine before measuring emissions? 
Do I need to measure cold-start emissions during this warm-up segment of 
the duty cycle?
    (2) Do I measure emissions while the warmed-up engine operates over 
a steady-state schedule, a transient schedule, or both?
    (3) What are the speed and load points of the test cycle(s)?
    (4) Which exhaust constituents do I need to measure?
    (5) Does testing require full-flow dilute sampling? Is raw sampling 
acceptable? Is partial-flow dilute sampling acceptable?
    (6) Do any unique specifications apply for test fuels?
    (7) What maintenance steps may I do before or between tests on an 
emission-data engine?
    (8) Do any unique requirements apply to stabilizing emission levels 
on a new engine?
    (9) Do any unique requirements apply to testing conditions, such as 
ambient temperatures or pressures?
    (10) Are there special emission standards that affect engine 
operation and ambient conditions?
    (11) Are there different emission standards that apply to field 
testing under normal operation?
    (b) The following table shows how this part divides testing 
specifications into subparts:
