Recital 6
(6) Regulation (EU) 2016/64621 introduced the dates of application of the RDE test procedure, as well as the compliance criteria for RDE. The introduction of the dates of application for passenger vehicles and light-duty vehicles were chosen in a yearly sequence to guarantee timely planning of the manufacturer for each vehicle group. For that purpose, pollutant-specific conformity factors were used to take account of statistical and technical uncertainties of the measurements conducted by means of Portable Emission Measurement Systems (PEMS). A clear distinction should be made between the conformity factor (CF) and the error margin in order to reflect more accurately the separation of responsibilities between car manufacturers and the manufacturers of the PEMS. __________________ 21 Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/646 of 20 April 2016 amending Regulation (EC) No 692/2008 as regards emissions from light passenger and commercial vehicles (Euro 6) (OJ L 109, 26.04.2016, p.1).

Recital 9
(9) In order to allow manufacturers to comply with the Euro 6 emission limits in the context of RDE test procedure, the compliance criteria for RDE should be introduced in two steps. During the first step, upon the request of the manufacturer, a temporary conformity factor should apply, while as a second step only the final conformity factor should be used. The Commission should keep under review the final conformity factors in light of technical progressreview annually the error margin downwards on the basis of scientific evidence and technical progress of the PEMs devices. The current error margin should be revised downwards to the figure proposed by the JRC report as soon as it is published. The aim is that the error margin reaches zero by 31 December 2022.

Recital 9 a (new)
(9 a) In order to assess more accurately the error margin, a standard procedure to assess RDE measurement uncertainty with regard to gaseous and particle emissions is necessary. It is essential therefore that the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) adopt as soon as possible standards for the PEMs devices. The Commission should duly take into account these standards.

Recital 9 b (new)
(9 b) In order to reduce air pollution, the emission limits standards for NOx (and other particle) emissions need to be revised downwards in the post- Euro 6 legislative proposal. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that the Commission present the post-Euro-6 legislative proposal as soon as possible and at the latest by June 2021 in line with the commitments made under the European Green Deal.

Article 4 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 2
Article 4 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 2
Those obligations include meeting the emission limits set out in Annex I. For the purposes of determining compliance with the Euro 6 emission limits set out in Table 2 of Annex I, the emission values determined during any valid Real Driving Emissions (RDE) test shall be divided by the applicable conformity factor set out in Table 2a of Annex I. The result shall remain below the Euro 6 emission limits set out in Table 2 of that Annex. The error margin shall reach zero by 31 December 2022;
