Particle Measurement Programme (PMP) Heavy-Duty (HD) Inter-laboratory Exercise - Validation Exercise Tests at JRC (Phase A: Feb. '08 and Phase B: June '08)

This document reports the results of the validation exercise during the PMP Heavy-Duty inter-laboratory exercise in Feb. ¿08 (Phase A) and June ¿08 (Phase B) conducted at the Vehicles Emissions Laboratory (VELA-5) in the Transport and Air Quality Unit of the European Commission¿s Joint Research Centre (JRC, Ispra). This report presents the results of the work undertaken on an IVECO Cursor 8 Heavy-Duty engine equipped with a Continuous Regenerating Trap (CRT), i.e. the Golden Engine. The tests included European and World Harmonized cycles following a strict protocol. Mass and number measurements were conducted simultaneously at the full flow and the partial flow sampling systems.JRC.H.4-Transport and air qualit
