Regulations Governing Issuance, Revocation, and Cancellation of Emissions Certificate of Conformity for Diesel and Alternative Clean Fuel Engine Vehicles Article 2
Terms used in these Standards are defined as follows:1. Engine family: The diesel and alternative clean fuel engine (hereinafter referred to as diesel engine) with similar combustion cycle (strokes), cooling mechanism (e.g., air cooled, liquid cooled), cylinder block configuration, number of cylinders; location of air intake valves, air supply method (with or without turbo charge), emission control system, fuel supply system and intake air cooling methods (e.g., after cooler, inter cooler) are deemed as the identical engine family.2. Vehicle configuration means light-duty diesel commercial or passenger vehicles that are identical in terms of the basic engine, emission control system, transmission and inertia weight class, and are deemed identical vehicle configuration.3. In-use diesel and alternative clean fuel engine vehicle (hereinafter referred to as “in-use foreign diesel vehicle”) from abroad: the diesel vehicle which has been registered and licensed by the motor vehicle supervisory agencies of the country of importation, and an import and commodity tax payment (exemption) certificate issued by Customs must be obtained at the time of importation of such vehicle as documentary proof.4. On Board Diagnostics System (hereinafter referred to as OBD): A computer system inside the vehicle that monitors vehicle emissions control equipment and can diagnose current operating status, detect and save malfunction codes, and display the signal indicator if malfunctions occur.5. Hybrid Electric Vehicle (hereinafter referred to as HEV): A vehicle which has an internal combustion engine and electric motor dual power sources and uses diesel or other alternative clean fuels.6. Deterioration factors: Each engine family shall have separate emissions deterioration factors to present the durability performance of the specified vehicle or engine in real world operation if the user has conducted normal maintenance according to the owner’s manual provided by the manufacturer. The gaseous pollutant’s or particulate matter’s test results shall be multiplied or added by the applicable deterioration factors to represent the durability test results.7. Ki factors: Ratio of non-regenerating driving cycle test results to regenerating driving cycle test results for vehicles with a periodically regenerating system.8. Evolution coefficient: The exhaust emission ratio between the vehicle reaching its expected stable condition and before it is in use.9. Defeat devices: Which, by measuring, sensing or affecting the vehicle’s operating parameters (such as speed, engine rpm, transmission gear position, temperature, altitude, intake manifold vacuum, or other parameters), may trigger, adjust, delay or stop the working or emissions control functionality of some part when the vehicle is in normal operating condition and hence reduce the effect posed to, or render no effect on, the emissions control.10. Inspection organization: An organization (institution) or school that has been designated by the central competent authority to issue the inspection report for a diesel and alternative clean fuel engine vehicle (hereinafter referred to as the diesel vehicle) emission Certificate of Conformity (hereinafter referred to as the Certificate of Conformity) or heavy-duty diesel vehicle Letter of Conformity (hereinafter referred to the Letter of Conformity).11. PEMS test family: A specific diesel vehicle model that is designed with similar exhaust and emission characteristics; or that can be classified as the same on-board test family according to the PEMS test family classification principles stipulated in No. 715/2007 and the subsequent directives established by the European Union (hereunder briefed as the EU).
中文原文 柴油及替代清潔燃料引擎汽車車型排氣審驗合格證明核發撤銷及廢止辦法第2條
本辦法用詞，定義如下：
一、引擎族（Enginefamily）：指柴油及替代清潔燃料引擎（以下簡稱柴油引擎）具有相似之燃燒循環（行程數）、冷卻系統型式（氣冷、水冷）、氣缸體構造、汽缸數、進排氣閥（孔）之位置、供氣方式（有無渦輪增壓）、排放控制系統、燃料供應系統、引擎進氣冷卻方式（如後冷卻器、中間冷卻器等）可歸納為同一引擎族。
二、車輛組成型態（Vehicleconfiguration）：指柴油輕型貨車及柴油小客車車輛之基本引擎、排放控制系統、變速裝置及慣性質量等級皆相同者，為同一車輛組成型態。
三、國外使用中柴油及替代清潔燃料引擎汽車（以下簡稱國外使用中柴油汽車）：指已在該進口國家交通監理單位登記領照之柴油汽車，進口時須取得海關核發之「進口與貨物稅完（免）稅證明書」文件證明者。
四、車上診斷系統（OnBoardDiagnosticsSystem,以下簡稱OBD）：指具有經車上電腦監控車輛空氣污染防制設備之使用狀況及故障偵測能力，並可儲存故障碼及顯示故障指示信號功能之系統。
五、複合動力電動車（HybridElectricVehicle,以下簡稱HEV）：指同時具備內燃機引擎及電動馬達發電機系統兩種動力來源，並使用柴油及柴油替代清潔燃料之車輛。
六、劣化係數（Deteriorationfactors）：指每一引擎族都應有個別之廢氣排放劣化係數，以代表該車或引擎由購車者依申請人提供之手冊來維護下，實際使用時之耐久性能。
氣狀污染物及粒狀污染物之劣化係數用來乘或加上個別污染測試值。
七、再生係數（Kifactors）：指配備週期性再生型裝置之車輛，於裝置再生週期間污染變化之比值。
八、進化係數（Evolutioncoefficient）：指車輛達到預期穩定狀態與未經磨合狀態之污染排放比值。
九、減效裝置（Defeatdevices）：指透過測量、感應或影響車輛之運轉參數（如車速、引擎轉速、變速箱檔位、溫度、海拔、進氣岐管真空度或其他參數），觸發、調整、延遲或停止某一部件之工作或排放控制系統功能，使車輛於正常使用條件下，降低或不具排放控制系統之控制效果。
十、查驗機構：指經中央主管機關指定，出具柴油及替代清潔燃料引擎汽車（以下簡稱柴油汽車）車型排氣審驗合格證明（以下簡稱合格證明）或重型柴油汽車合格證明函（以下簡稱合格證明函）查驗報告書之機關（構）或學校。
