The exhaust gas norm (Euro-Norm, Pollution class) sets emission limits that must be<br />
respected by new road vehicles <strong>in</strong> terms of carbon monoxide (CO), nitrous oxide (Nox),<br />
hydrocarbons (HC) and particles (PM) levels. Limit values depend on k<strong>in</strong>d of motor (petrol or<br />
diesel eng<strong>in</strong>e) and vehicle (passenger vehicles, trucks and buses, bicycles and motor-bikes)<br />
and are subject to <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g restrictions. Values are measured dur<strong>in</strong>g type test<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> driv<strong>in</strong>g<br />
cycle. Vehicles manufacturers must guarantee compliance with limit values for a certa<strong>in</strong><br />
period and for a certa<strong>in</strong> kilometre range. This is done through an <strong>in</strong> service survey with call<br />
back device <strong>in</strong> the event of systematic mistakes. Besides, for some vehicles, emissions of fuel<br />
evaporation are restricted and an onboard diagnosis (OBD) is foreseen. The Euro IV Norm has<br />
