Environmental certificate Euro 2 is a set of euro standards that limit the content of dangerous environment substances in exhaust gases cars. In the European Union, this certificate replaced the previous Euro 1 standard and was adopted in 1995. Emission standards have been revised in the new standard harmful substances in atmosphere. Thus, the requirements for emissions of harmful substances by engines internal combustion amounted to:
CO - allowed no more than 55 g / kWh;
CH - allowed no more than 2.4 g / kW * h;
NO - allowed no more than 10g/kW*h.
In the Russian Federation, on October 12, 2005, the Technical Regulations "On the requirements for emissions of harmful substances by cars", Resolution No. 609 were adopted. 6 months after official date its publication in the press on October 21, 2005, it entered into force. This regulation contains all the norms and requirements of international environmental standards. According to the Decree, starting from April 22, 2006, cars of a class lower than Euro 2 cannot be produced in Russia. According to the Technical Regulations, imported cars that do not have a Euro 2 certificate will be detained at the border. Whether the car meets the Euro standard will guarantee a certificate of conformity.
Information about cars will be generated by the Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and will be transferred every month to the safety department. traffic Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and the Federal Customs Service of Russia. According to the Technical Regulations, two databases have been created, which contain information about cars that comply with the Euro 2 standard and information about previously issued certificates of conformity. On the official website of Rostekhregulirovanie, each car owner can see if his car brand meets the Euro 2 standard or whether it will be necessary to issue a corresponding Euro 2 certificate. There is also a table of compliance with standards adopted by the Ministry of Industry and Energy, which indicates which cars are prohibited for import into the territory of the Russian Federation. First of all, they are banned European cars who are over 10 years old.
The Euro 2 certificate can be issued in certified bodies that have received accreditation from Rostekhregulirovanie for the right to issue such a certificate. If the car was manufactured before 1997, then a special conclusion should be drawn up. To do this, you need to pass an assessment of the amount of harmful substances in exhaust gases in service center. You can also get a certificate that the car has been converted and meets the Euro 2 standard or higher. According to experts, the new Euro 2 standards may lead to a halving of the used car market. They believe that this will have a positive impact on the environment, because old cars emit a lot of a large number of harmful substances. These emissions, in turn, are bad for human health.
The environmental situation is deteriorating every day, so you should think about it today. According to the legislation, all gasoline and diesel fuel must meet Euro standards. The technical regulation provided for the sale of gasoline and fuel that complies with the Euro 2 standard until 12/31/2008. For the Euro 3 standard, the sale period is limited until 12/31/2009, for the Euro 4 standard - until 12/31/2013. this moment Euro 4 environmental standards are already in force in the Russian Federation. The government plans to switch to Euro 5 standards by 2014, when domestic producers cars will be technically ready. Euro 5 standards were already adopted in the European Union in 2009.
From Thursday, September 25, entry into the center of Moscow will be banned, which, according to the city authorities, will reduce pollutant emissions by 8,000 tons per year - about 5%.
Agreement on the adoption of uniform conditions for the approval and on the mutual recognition of the approval of items of equipment and mechanical parts Vehicle(also known as the Vehicle Standardization Agreement or Geneva Agreement) was adopted on 20 March 1958 in Geneva. Within the framework of the Agreement, more than 100 resolutions of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE Regulations) have been adopted to ensure road safety and environmental protection.
Countries that have acceded to the Agreement use the ECE Regulations for certification testing of road vehicles. Each party has the right to accept all or part of the rules, of which it notifies the UNECE according to the established procedure one year before the termination of the use of a particular rule, sending a notification addressed to the UN Secretary General.
Among the EEC rules are the so-called European standards for pollution produced by by car. According to these rules and amendments to them, several types of Euro standards are distinguished, which differ in the limit values of pollutants produced by road transport.
The Euro-2 standard was introduced in Europe, the USA and Japan in 1995, the Euro-3 standards, which are 30 - 40% stricter than the Euro-2 standards, came into effect in 2000, and from January 1, 2005 was implemented full transition to the production of vehicles that comply with Euro-4 standards, which are 65 - 70% tougher than Euro-3.
In Russia, on April 22, 2006, a new technical regulation "On requirements for emissions automotive technology released into circulation on the territory of the Russian Federation, pollutants". The regulation establishes that any automotive equipment put into circulation on the territory of the Russian Federation must, in terms of emissions of harmful (polluting) substances (CO, CH, NOX and dispersed particles), correspond to an environmental class of at least the second ("Euro-2").
By expert opinion, the Russian car fleet is 90% Euro 0, 5% Euro 1, 4% Euro 2, and only 1% Euro 3.
According to the Regulations, the technical requirements for automotive vehicles and the internal combustion engines of ecological class 2 installed on it are as follows:
categories M(1), M(2) maximum weight not more than 3.5 t, N(1) with spark engines (petrol, gas) and diesels technical emission standards for UNECE Regulation N 83-04 (emission levels B, C, D), UNECE Regulation N 24-03 with addition 1 (only for diesel engines);
categories M(1) with a maximum mass of more than 3.5 tons, M(2), M(3), N(1), N(2), N(3) with diesel engines and gas engines- the technical emission standards of UNECE Regulation N 49-02 (emission level B), UNECE Regulation N 24-03 with appendix 1 (only for diesel engines);
categories M(1) with a maximum mass of more than 3.5 tons, M(2), M(3), N(2), N(3) with gasoline engines- technical emission standards (CO - 55 g/kWh, CmHn - 2.4 g/kWh, NOX - 10 g/kWh) during tests provided for by UNECE Regulation N 49-03 (ESC test cycle) .
Annex No. 3 to the Regulations establishes the main technical requirements to the characteristics of fuel for automotive vehicles. For fuel of ecological class 2 (Euro-2), the following characteristics are established:
For gasoline - lead concentration not more than 10 mg/dm3, sulfur concentration not more than 500 mg/kg, benzene volume fraction not more than 5%, saturated vapor pressure taking into account climatic conditions: V summer period- 45 - 80 kPa, in winter period- 50 - 100 kPa;
For diesel fuel - cetane number not less than 49, density at 15С 820 - 860 kg/m3, sulfur concentration not more than 500 mg/kg, fractional composition - 95% of the volume distilled at a temperature not more than 360С, lubricity not more than 460 microns.
On January 1, 2008, Euro-3 environmental standards began to operate in Russia, prohibiting the production in the country or the import into its territory of cars that do not meet at least Euro-3 standards. From January 1, 2010, Euro-4 standards will be introduced in Russia, and from 2014 - Euro-5.

Chip tuning for Euro-0
Chip tuning for Euro-2
An example of a recall about the firmware with the transition to E2.
Chip tuning with preservation of toxicity standards (E4, E5, E6)
Some customers prefer to flash the ECU while maintaining factory toxicity standards. Often this choice is made by car owners who are under warranty from the dealer. In terms of environmental protection, this is the most correct option. We try to stick to it.
ADACT specialists will make a quality check of your car and install the firmware that is most suitable for a particular car.
">Chip tuning of the engine is done both with the preservation of the factory Euro standards, and with the transition to another standard that is less demanding on emission control.
Firmware for other Euro standards is done in 2 cases:
- The owner of the car has problems with the catalyst or particulate filter. On dashboard a malfunction symbol appeared, and according to the diagnostic codes P0420 and P0430 or P1447, P1448, P1901, 480A, 481A, etc.
Replacement is expensive. Easier to remove the catalyst or particulate filter and adapt the firmware to the E2 / E3 standards.
- The owner wants to upgrade to another level of environmental standard to increase the car's dynamics.
Let's dispel the myth that switching to another Euro standard can harm the engine. None negative consequences No. The change will be one: the emission of carbon dioxide will increase with an increase in dynamics.
We get the best quality fuel mixture, since the computer no longer needs to take care of the safety of the catalyst or particulate filter due to fundamental changes composition of the mixture.
Chip tuning for Euro-0
Euro 0 is the oldest standard (1988). Permissible limit it emits 22 times more carbon monoxide than Euro-4. Firmware for this standard is made infrequently. Basically, if they want a sharp increase in dynamics and are not afraid of an increase in fuel consumption ( sports tuning). We recommend higher standards.
Chip tuning for Euro-2
Most often they switch to Euro-2 with chip tuning with a change in the environmental standard. Emissions increase slightly, and the dynamics change dramatically in better side. Dips disappear, the cut-off shifts, power increases and even the sound of the engine becomes different. When switching to E2, it is necessary to remove the catalyst or particulate filter. It is important to note that there are no problems with passing the inspection. The transition to Euro-2 does not affect the dealer's warranty either.
Euro 2 - pan-European standards (environmental standard) for the toxicity of spent exhaust gases vehicles. The standard specifies the cold start parameters of engines and reduces the amount of toxic emissions by about 25% compared to EURO 1. In 1995, it was introduced in the European Union instead of Euro 1, and in 1999 it was replaced by the Euro 3 standard.
In Russia, the Euro-2 fuel standard was introduced in autumn 2005.
EURO 2 diesel fuel pollutes the air too much
As of 2006, the domestic fleet was 90 percent Euro 0, 5 percent Euro 1, 4 percent Euro 2. Only one percent of the cars were Euro 3. a huge amount of technology (working in agriculture, housing and communal services, loading and unloading, in construction), which requires modernization to work on more quality fuel. In Russia, tens to hundreds of thousands of units of equipment operating on Euro-2 gasoline and diesel fuel are operated.
Regulations for EURO 2
On April 22, 2006, a new one began to operate in Russia. The document established that all vehicles operating in the territory of the Russian Federation must comply with the emission of pollutants environmental standard not lower than Euro-2.
The new regulation called the technical requirements for cars and the internal combustion engines installed on them of the Euro 2 environmental class:
- categories M(1), M(2) with a maximum mass of not more than 3.5 tons, N(1) with spark engines (petrol, gas) and diesel engines technical emission standards provided for by UNECE Regulation N 83-04 (emission levels B , C, D), UNECE Regulation N 24-03 with addendum 1 (only for diesel engines);
- categories M (1) with a maximum mass of more than 3.5 tons, M (2), M (3), N (1), N (2), N (3) with diesels and gas engines - technical emission standards provided for by the Rules UNECE N 49-02 (Emission Tier B), UNECE Regulation N 24-03 Supplement 1 (Diesel only).
Appendix 3 to the Regulations establishes the main technical requirements for fuel for vehicles:
— for gasoline: lead concentration not more than 10 mg/dm3; sulfur concentration not more than 500 mg/kg; the volume fraction of benzene is not more than 5%; saturated vapor pressure in summer: 45-80 kPa, in winter: 50-100 kPa;
— for Euro class 2 diesel fuel: cetane number not less than 49; density at 15 o With 820-860 kg/m 3 ; sulfur concentration not more than 500 mg/kg; fractional composition - 95% of the volume is distilled at a temperature not exceeding 360 o C; lubricity is not more than 460 microns.
For Euro 2 class diesel fuel, the peak of popularity is over
The sale of gasoline brand AI-95 of Euro 2 class in the Russian Federation is prohibited from 01/01/2011. Since September 2011, the Russian government intended to ban the sale of the AI-92 Euro 2 standard, but the resulting fuel shortage forced the ban to be postponed for more than a year.
Russian car and fuel manufacturers announced the possibility of moving to the EURO-2 requirements at different times, the reason for which was unequal conditions and the degree of readiness. Thus, automakers were almost immediately ready to produce cars that meet EURO-2 requirements, and oil refiners needed time to modernize refineries and develop documents regulating the circulation of EURO-2 class fuel.
The temporary return of Euro 2 diesel fuel, among other things, allowed oil companies to increase production, which made it possible to reduce the shortage of the most common fuel. The ban on the circulation of Euro-2 fuel in Russia forced in the spring of 2011 to close for maintenance, which was one of the reasons fuel crisis in some regions. The FAS charged the fuel companies with collusion, but the oil workers explained the lack of fuel by the fact that the state is trying to regulate market prices on fuel.
The ecological class of a car (EURO 2, EURO 3, EURO 4, EURO 5) is determined by certification bodies!!!In order to increase the responsibility of customs authorities, certification authorities and participants in foreign economic activity when determining the environmental class of vehicles, please note that the determination of the environmental class by the customs authorities can be carried out only on the basis of the data contained:
- in the vehicle type approval (OTTS) submitted by the manufacturer or its official representative;
- in the certificate of conformity (for a specific vehicle with full match VIN, body number) to the requirements technical regulations"On the Requirements for Emissions of Harmful (Polluting) Substances by Motor Vehicles Put into circulation on the Territory of the Russian Federation", issued by a certification body accredited by the Federal Agency for technical regulation and metrology of the Russian Federation. The database posted on the official website of Rosstandart (www.gost.ru) and the Federal Customs Service (www.customs.ru) performs information and control functions. The determination of the ecological class based on the data contained in it is not allowed.
For an approximate determination of the environmental class, you can use the databases of previously issued environmental certificates for cars and (or) vehicle type approvals indicating the environmental class, which are posted on the website federal agency on technical regulation and metrology. To determine the environmental class of a car, you need to know the VIN number of the car. Coincidence VIN numbers your car must be at least the first 9 characters, and the engine model must completely match. In the event that at the level of the first nine characters of the VIN number, the database issues different environmental classes (for example, EURO 3 and EURO 4), then try to enter a larger number of characters of the VIN number of the car, if in this case the result is not unambiguous, then you need to go through the procedure certification.
