What is ISO 6460-1 - Gaseous exhaust emissions and fuel consumption test requirements about?
ISO 6460-1 is an international organisation for standardization that specifies the general test requirements for measurement of the gaseous exhaust emissions from motorcycles, and for determining the fuel consumption of motorcycles as defined in ISO 3833.
ISO 6460-1 is applicable to motorcycles equipped with a spark-ignition engine (four-stroke engine or rotary piston engine).
Who is ISO 6460-1 - Gaseous exhaust emissions and fuel consumption test requirements for?
ISO 6460-1 on gaseous exhaust emissions and fuel consumption test requirements is useful for:
- The transportation industry
- Environmental safety department
- Testing and inspection facilities
- Quality assurance managers
Why should you use ISO 6460-1 - Gaseous exhaust emissions and fuel consumption test requirements?
For the measurement of motorcycle fuel consumption, the carbon balance method, where the fuel consumption is calculated from the analysis of the carbon quantity in the exhaust emissions, is now widely used in addition to the conventional fuel flow measurement. Therefore, the measurement of exhaust emissions pollutants and fuel consumption are inseparably related to each other.
ISO 6460-1 provides its users with fundamental elements such as measurement accuracy, test motorcycle conditions, and the details of the carbon balance method. The measurement of gaseous exhaust emissions and fuel consumption during test cycles can be conducted by means of ISO 6460-1 and ISO 6460-2. Additionally, with ISO 6460-3, these three documents provide details of those measurements at a constant speed.
Using ISO 6460-1 guidelines ensures safety and protection, helps prevent air pollution and maintains quality assurance for its users.
