b) Draft Amendment 01 to the draft REC Regulation (Informal document GRPE-66-07)

In addition to the proposal for [20%] NO2 increase, the chairman proposed that there should be a paragraph prohibiting the ‘turning’ of DPF elements (so as to blow ash out) by ensuring that the design is such as to prohibit turning.

Williams commented that the Regulation does not currently specify documents to be provided to the operator by the installer, such as an installation certificate or even the contact details of the installer for traceability, and asked whether this would be of benefit. The chairman said that this had been discussed in Berne. As the Regulation comprises approval of the systems, there can be a requirement to provide installation instructions, but requirements cannot be set for third parties (i.e. the installers). Williams suggested that could be a pro-forma that installers could use, rather than a direct requirement on the retrofit supplier. The chairman concluded that Europe could provide a guidance document but this should not be part of the UN regulation.
