Periodic vehicle exhaust inspection
In the long term, every vehicle is legally obliged to undergo a periodic vehicle test that is carried out in a certified inspection station or in a garage. An essential part of the tests consists of a measurement of the exhaust gases. This is to ensure that the exhaust gas emissions comply with national and European legislation.
Vehicle inspection
An important part of the vehicle inspection is the measurement of the exhaust gases with certified analysis equipment. This makes it possible to check whether the exhaust gas emissions still comply with prescribed legislation.
Four-gas test
The four-gas test measures four gases with analytical equipment: oxygen (O2), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrocarbons (HC). The analysis results indicate whether the catalytic converter and the lambda sensor are still OK.
Legislation
Legislation requires analysers used to test vehicles to be type-approved by a national recognised body. In addition, the instrument must be calibrated using accredited reference gases.
Calibration gases
Specific gas compositions are used to calibrate the exhaust gas test equipment. These reference gases are prescribed in OIML recommendation R099 "Instruments for the measurement of vehicle exhaust emissions" and must be produced according to the ISO-17025 standard for quality management in laboratories.
