         Subpart D_Testing Production-Line Vehicles and Engines

 

Sec.  1051.315  How do I know when my engine family fails the 

production-line testing requirements?



    This section describes the pass-fail criteria for the production-

line testing requirements. We apply these criteria on an engine family 

basis. SeeSec.  1051.320 for the requirements that apply to individual 

vehicles or engines that fail a production-line test.

    (1) Initial and final test results. Calculate and round the test 

results for each vehicle or engine. If you do several tests on a vehicle 

or engine, calculate the initial test results, then add them together 

and divide by the number of tests and round for the final test results 

on that vehicle or engine.

    (2) Final deteriorated test results. Apply the deterioration factor 

for the engine family to the final test results (see Sec.  1051.240(c)).

    (b) Construct the following CumSum Equation for each engine family 

for HC, NOX (or HC+NOX), and CO emissions (and 

other regulated pollutants):

Where:



Ci = The current CumSum statistic.

Ci-1 = The previous CumSum statistic. For the first test, the 

CumSum statistic is 0 (i.e. C1 = 0).

Xi = The current emission test result for an individual 

vehicle or engine.

STD = Emission standard.



    (c) Use final deteriorated test results to calculate the variables 

in the equation in paragraph (b) of this section (see Sec.  

1051.315(a)).

    (d) After each new test, recalculate the CumSum statistic.

    (e) If you test more than the required number of vehicles or 

engines, include the results from these additional tests in the CumSum 

Equation.

    (f) After each test, compare the current CumSum statistic, 

Ci, to the recalculated Action Limit, H, defined as H = 5.0 x 

[sigma].

    (g) If the CumSum statistic exceeds the Action Limit in two 

consecutive tests, the engine family fails the production-line testing 

requirements of this subpart. Tell us within ten working days if this 

happens. You may request to amend the application for certification to 

raise the FEL of the engine family at this point if you meet the 

requirements of Sec.  1051.225(f).

    (h) If you amend the application for certification for an engine 

family under Sec.  1051.225, do not change any previous calculations of 

sample size or CumSum statistics for the model year.
