Foreword
In order to implement the "Environmental protection law of the People's
Republic of China" and the "Air pollution control law of the People's Republic of
China", to prevent and control the environmental pollution caused by particulate
matter discharged from non-road mobile machinery equipped with diesel
engines, this standard is hereby formulated.
This standard specifies the limits and measurement methods for exhaust
smoke from non-road mobile machinery equipped with diesel engine. This
standard applies to the testing of the exhaust smoke from non-road mobile
machinery equipped with diesel engine and on-board diesel equipment. The
inspection of the exhaust smoke from the newly-produced and imported non-
road mobile machinery equipped with diesel engine may make reference to this
standard.
This standard refers to and adopts the relevant technical contents of the
European Commission Directive 77/537/EEC "Directive on the approximation
of the laws of the member States relating to the measures to be taken against
the emission of pollutants from diesel engines for use in wheeled agricultural or
forestry tractors" and GB 3847 "Limits and measurement methods for emissions
form diesel vehicles under free acceleration and lugdown cycle".
Appendix A and Appendix B of this standard are normative appendixes.
This standard is the first release.
This standard was formulated under the organization of the Department of
Atmospheric Environment, Department of Regulations and Standards of the
Ministry of Ecology and Environment.
Main drafting organizations of this standard. Beijing Institute of Technology,
Jinan Automobile Testing Center Co., Ltd.
This standard was approved by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment on
September 27, 2018.
This standard shall be implemented since December 01, 2018.
From the date of implementation of this standard, all relevant local standards
shall be abolished.
For this standard, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment is responsible for
the interpretation.

exhaust smoke from non-road mobile
machinery equipped with diesel engine
1 Scope
This standard specifies the limits and measurement methods for exhaust
smoke from non-road mobile machinery equipped with diesel engine and
onboard diesel equipment.
This standard applies to the testing of the exhaust smoke from non-road mobile
machinery equipped with diesel engine and on-board diesel equipment. The
inspection of the exhaust smoke from the newly-produced and imported non-
road mobile machinery equipped with diesel engine may make reference to this
standard.
This standard applies to the following (including but not limited to) non-road
mobile machinery equipped with diesel engines which is operated at non-
constant speeds.
- Construction machinery (including loaders, excavators, bulldozers, road
rollers, asphalt pavers, forklifts, off-highway trucks, etc.);
- Agricultural machinery;
- Forestry machinery;
- Material handling machinery;
- Industrial drilling exploration equipment;
- Snow plow equipment;
- Airport ground service equipment.
This standard applies to the following (including but not limited to) non-road
mobile machinery equipped with diesel engines which is operated at constant
speed.
- Air compressor;
- Power generator set;
- Fishing machinery;
- Water pump.

C.I.E. (compression ignition engine) and vehicle equipped with C.I.E.
GB 20891-2007 Limits and measurement methods for exhaust pollutants
from diesel engines of non-road mobile machinery (I, II)
3 Terms and definitions
The following terms and definitions apply to this standard.
3.1
Non-road mobile machinery equipped with diesel engine
For non-road types of machinery as mentioned in the "Scope", that is.
3.2
Onboard diesel engine equipment
A diesel-powered vehicle-mounted dedicated device that is used on a
vehicle for carrying people (goods) on the road and that does not provide
driving force for the vehicle.
3.3
Rated net power (Pmax)
The net power which is indicated by the manufacturer, according to the
provisions of GB 20891-2014, for the diesel engine when the information is
disclosed.
3.4

light absorption of exhaust of diesel engine as specified in GB 3847.
principle of Ringelmann smoke method as specified in Appendix B.
4 Limit of exhaust smoke
4.1 Perform testing of exhaust smoke in accordance with clause 5.The opacity
smoke (coefficient of light absorption) and the Ringelmann number of the
exhaust from non-road mobile machinery equipped with diesel engine shall not
exceed the limits as specified in Table 1.

the measuring process as the measuring result.
5.2.2 Ringelmann smoke method
For the non-road mobile machinery equipped with diesel engines, use the
Ringelmann smoke method specified in Appendix B to continuously observe
the exhaust smoke under the measurement conditions as described in 5.1.
6 Decision rules
6.1 If the Lingerman smoke of the non-road mobile machinery equipped with
diesel engine exceeds the standard, the exhaust smoke testing is judged to be
unqualified.
6.2 For non-road mobile machinery equipped with diesel engine qualified by
Ringelmann smoke testing, the competent department of ecology and
environment may continue to use the opacity smoke method to conduct on-site
testing of the exhaust smoke.
7 Management requirements
7.1 The manufacturing enterprise shall, in accordance with the requirements of
this standard, formulate the self-examination procedures, conduct self-testing
