Reciprocating internal combustion engines - Performance - Part 1: Declarations of power, fuel and lubricating oil consumptions, and test methods - Additional requirements for engines for general use (ISO 3046-1:2002, IDT)

2Scope / Description

This part of ISO 3046 specifies the requirements for the declaration of power, fuel consumption, lubricating oil consumption and the test method in addition to the basic requirements defined in “Core” standard ISO 15550. This part of ISO 3046 defines codes for engine brake power in accordance with “Core” standard ISO 15550, in order, where necessary, to simplify the application of the statements of power and to facilitate communication. This applies, e.g., to statements of power used on engine data plates. It applies to Reciprocating Internal Combustion (RIC) engines for land, rail-traction and marine use. This part of ISO 3046 may be applied to engines used to propel road construction and earth-moving machines, industrial trucks, and for other applications where no suitable International Standard for these engines exists. It is a “Satellite” standard and is intended to be applied in conjunction with “Core” standard ISO 15550 only, in order to completely specifiy the requirements for the particular engine application. NOTE In addition to the terms used in the three official ISO languages (English, French and Russian), this International Standard gives, in Table 3, the equivalent terms in German; these have been included at the request of Technical Committee ISO/TC 70 and are published under the responsibility of the member body for Germany (DIN). However, only the terms given in the official languages can be considered as ISO terms.
