The Euro 7 emissions regulations are still under development, and the specific test equipment required to update a test cell for Euro 7 compliance may vary depending on the final version of the standard and its specific requirements. However, based on the current proposals and discussions, the following test equipment is expected to be essential for Euro 7 compliance.
Overall, updating a test cell to comply with Euro 7 emissions regulations can be a challenging process. It is essential to work with experienced professionals who can guide you through the process and ensure that the test cell meets the Euro 7 requirements.
The specific Euro 7 test equipment required for compliance has not been officially defined. What can be gathered from the first draft of the proposal is that the emissions of various pollutants, including nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM), ammonia (NH3), and carbon dioxide (CO2) will be measured. Additionally, Euro 7 will require measuring particles to >10nm as opposed to >23nm as it was with Euro 6. Therefore, upgrading or adding exhaust gas analyzers that can measure these pollutants accurately and reliably is likely to be essential.
