Singapore - Amendments to the first and second schedule of the Environmental Protection and Management (Vehicular Emissions) regulations. National Environment Agency (NEA) has issued amendments are likely to be made to the first and second schedule of the Environmental Protection and Management (Vehicular Emissions) regulations. a) NEA is proposing for the implementation of Euro VI emission standards for new petrol and diesel vehicles, to be legislated through their inclusion in the Environmental Protection and Management (Vehicular Emissions) Regulations. The relevant EU Directives are as follows: b) Light duty: EU Directives 715/2007/EC, 692/2008/EC and 459/2012/EC c) Heavy duty: EU Directives 595/2009/EC, 582/2011/EC and 64/2012/EC d) NEA will accept new petrol vehicles using Port Fuel Injection (PFI) technology that have achieved Japanese emission standards (JPN 2009) as being equivalent to meeting the Euro VI emission standards. For new petrol vehicles using Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) technology that have achieved Japanese emission standards (JPN 2009) and to be recognized as being equivalent to meeting the Euro VI emission standards, the corresponding Euro VI Particulate Number (PN) limit will have to be met as well. A similar treatment shall be applied for heavy duty petrol vehicles. e) NEA will accept new diesel vehicles that have achieved Japanese emission standards (JPN 2009 and Post-Post New Long Term (PPNLT) emission regulations for light and heavy duty diesel vehicles respectively) as meeting the Euro VI emission standards, provided their PN emissions can meet the corresponding Euro VI limits as well. Proposed date of adoption: Notice will be published prior to the date of entry into force Proposed date of entry into force: 1 September 2017 (for new petrol vehicles), 1 January 2018 (for new diesel vehicles) Final date for comments: 60 days from the date of notification |
