Draft Environmental Protection and Management (Vehicular Emissions) (Amendment) Regulations 2021 (in English)

Singapore plans to tighten the particle number (PN) limit for gasoline direct injection (GDI) vehicles from 6x1012 to 6x1011 from 1 September 2021.

Regulation 4(1) of the Environmental Protection and Management (Vehicular Emissions) Regulations state that every petrol driven motor vehicle (other than a motor cycle or scooter) to be registered in Singapore on or after 1 September 2017 shall conform to any of the standards for exhaust emission specified in the First Schedule for the class of motor vehicle to which that motor vehicle belongs.

The standards specified in the First Schedule of the Environmental Protection and Management (Vehicular Emissions) Regulations for GDI vehicles currently has a PN limit of 6x1012. This is to be tightened to 6x1011 from 1 September 2021.

The new limit is in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 715/2007, Annex I, Table 2, as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No. 459/2012 and read with Commission Regulation (EU) No. 2017/1151.
