Market Surveillance Concept for Non-Road Mobile Machinery

This project carried out by BFH-TI and BFH-HAFL contributes to the field of in-service monitoring (ISM) as required for non-road mobile machinery (NRMM) according to Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 (Stage V). Based on the 2018 pilot project, additional field studies were conducted, but with another test tractor. The aim was to further investigate and improve the practical implementation of ISM. Various field tasks were chosen to cover a broad spectrum of load and dynamic cases for the engine and exhaust aftertreatment system. The possibilities to simplify the practical process of ISM were also investigated and presented. In addition, various workshops were planned and conducted with the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) on the subject of ISM, considering not only technical but also legal aspects. A further component of the project was the exchange of information with other experts in the field of emission measurement in NRMM and other stakeholders on the topic of ISM. The views and additional perspectives on ISM of experts and stakeholders are also presented.
