Key: PI = Positive Ignition, CI = Compression Ignition.The OBD thresholds set out in the table are subject to a review to be conducted by the Commission by 1 September 2014. Where the thresholds appear to be not technically feasible, their values or the mandatory date of application are to be amended accordingly, considering the effects of other new requirements and tests that will be introduced for Euro 6 vehicles. Where the review shows an environmental need as well as technical feasibility and a net monetised benefit, more stringent values need to be adopted and OBD threshold limits for particle numbers or, where applicable, other regulated pollutants introduced. In doing so, appropriate lead time for introducing the technical developments has to be given to the industry.
2.3.4. Until three years after the dates specified in Article 10(4) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 for new type approvals and new vehicles respectively, the following OBD threshold limits shall be applied to vehicles that are type approved according to the Euro 6 emission limits set out in Table 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, upon the choice of the manufacturer:

Preliminary Euro 6 OBD threshold limits

— for vehicles certified against either the OBD threshold limits shown in the tables set out in point 2.3.3 or 2.3.4, a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) fitted to compression ignition engines as a separate unit or integrated into a combined emission control device.

The devices referred to in the first paragraph shall also be monitored for any failure that would result in exceeding the applicable OBD threshold limits.

‘For new type approvals and new vehicles the monitor required by point 2.9 of this Annex shall have an IUPR greater or equal to 0,1 until three years after the dates specified in Article 10(4) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 715/2007 respectively.’;

6.2. 
For the purposes of this point these situations are presumed to occur:


— in the case of vehicles approved to the Euro 5 emission limits of Table 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, if the applicable NOx emission limit of that table multiplied by a factor of 1,5, is exceeded,
— in the case of vehicles approved to the Euro 6 emission limits of Table 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 715/2007, if the applicable NOx OBD threshold limit of the tables set out in points 2.3.2, 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 of Annex XI is exceeded.

NOx emissions during the test to demonstrate compliance with these requirements shall be no more than 20 % higher than the values referred to in the second paragraph.
