Emission Durability Statement for Recreational Craft Propulsion Engines
As referred to in Directive 2013/53/EU Annex 1/B/3
Provided engines are installed in accordance with the installation and maintenance instructions
contained in the Owner’s Manual, then engines will continue to comply with the Emission
Certification as specified in Directive 2013/53/EU Annex 1/B/2.2 throughout the normal life of
the engine and under normal conditions of use.
Normal life of the engine for CI engines in Directive 2013/53/EU Annex 1/B/3 is defined as 480
hours or 10 years, whichever occurs first.
Compliance will depend on many factors, such as Installation, Ventilation, Fuel and Lubricants,
Maintenance and the mode of operation and storage.
Fuels and Lubricants should conform to the specifications contained in the Owners Handbook.
Fuel settings on the engines are protected with Tamperproof Caps. Should any adjustment be
made to these settings, then Emissions Compliance, and compliance to the Directive will be
invalidated, as will any Warranty or Guarantee on the engine.
Exhaust systems are not generally supplied by Engines Plus Ltd, but must meet the
specifications in the Owners Handbook. Particular attention should be paid where multiple
bends, and especially elbows, are fitted. Allowance must be made for these. Back Pressures
stated should be measured at the Engine Exhaust Outlet Flange. This is at the Manicooler or,
where applicable, the Turbocharger Outlet.
To maintain the manufacturer’s Warranty, and Emission Compliance only Genuine Replacement
Parts should be used. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure regular maintenance is
carried out competently, in accordance with the guidelines in the Owners Handbook
Where engines are to be unused for a period of more than 6 months, they should be “laid up”
according to the guidelines contained in the Owners Handbook. Failure to do so may lead to
deterioration of components, resulting in reduced performance, and possible non-compliance
of the Directive.
From experience of engines operating under the RCD over many years, with correct
maintenance and operation, we have found that performance is maintained, and durability will
far exceed that specified in the Directive.
