CRITICAL STUDY OF THE UNITED STATES EXHAUST EMISSION CERTIFICATION TEST-ERROR AND PROBABILITY ANALYSIS

We have performed a critical study of the Exhaust Emission Certification Test based on statistical methods. With the results of this investigation, it is possible to calculate the real risk of passing the Certification Test and to determine the engineering goals (or safety margins) which are required to pass Certification. In addition, systematic errors should be taken into account. Meeting these safety margins represents a calculable additional aggravation of the already stringent standards. /GMRL/
