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

2Scope / Description

This part of ISO 3046 specifies the declaration requirements and test methods for power, fuel consumption, and lubricating oil consumption, in addition to the basic requirements defined in the core standard ISO 15550. This part of ISO 3046 defines a code for engine brake power, based on the core standard ISO 15550, to simplify the application of power declarations and facilitate communication, where necessary. This applies, for example, to power declarations used on engine data plates. It is applicable to reciprocating internal combustion engines (RIC) for land, rail traction, and marine applications. This part of ISO 3046 may be applied to engines driving road construction and earth-moving machinery, industrial trucks, and other applications for which no appropriate international standard exists. It is a "satellite" standard, intended to be used only in conjunction with the core standard ISO 15550 to fully specify the requirements for a specific engine application. NOTE: In addition to the terms used in the three official ISO languages (English, French, and Russian), this international standard provides German equivalent terms in Table 3; these terms are included at the request of Technical Committee ISO/TC 70 and are published under the responsibility of the German member institution (DIN). However, only the terms given in the official languages are considered ISO terms.
