Annex VI is amended as follows: Section A is replaced by the following: ‘A. Reference methods for the assessment of concentrations of sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxides of nitrogen, particulate matter (PM_(10) and PM_(2,5)), lead, benzene, carbon monoxide and ozone 1. Reference method for the measurement of sulphur dioxide The reference method for the measurement of sulphur dioxide is that described in EN 14212:2012 “Ambient air — Standard method for the measurement of the concentration of sulphur dioxide by ultraviolet fluorescence”. 2. Reference method for the measurement of nitrogen dioxide and oxides of nitrogen The reference method for the measurement of nitrogen dioxide and oxides of nitrogen is that described in EN 14211:2012 “Ambient air — Standard method for the measurement of the concentration of nitrogen dioxide and nitrogen monoxide by chemiluminescence”. 3. Reference method for the sampling and measurement of lead — unchanged 4. Reference method for the sampling and measurement of PM_(10) The reference method for the sampling and measurement of PM_(10) is that described in EN12341:2014 “Ambient Air — standard gravimetric measurement method for the determination of the PM_(10) or PM_(2,5) mass concentration of suspended particulate matter”. 5. Reference method for the sampling and measurement of PM_(2,5) The reference method for the sampling and measurement of PM_(2,5) is that described in EN12341:2014 “Ambient Air — standard gravimetric measurement method for the determination of the PM_(10) or PM_(2,5) mass concentration of suspended particulate matter” 6. Reference method for the sampling and measurement of benzene — unchanged 7. Reference method for the measurement of carbon monoxide The reference method for the measurement of carbon monoxide is that described in EN 14626:2012 “Ambient air — Standard method for the measurement of the concentration of carbon monoxide by non-dispersive infrared spectroscopy”. 8. Reference method for measurement of ozone The reference method for the measurement of ozone is that described in EN 14625:2012 “Ambient air — Standard method for the measurement of the concentration of ozone by ultraviolet photometry”.’ Section D is deleted; Section E is replaced by the following: ‘When demonstrating that equipment meets the performance requirements of the reference methods listed in Section A of this Annex, the competent authorities and bodies designated pursuant to Article 3 shall accept test reports issued in other Member States provided that the test laboratories are accredited to the relevant harmonised standard for testing and calibration laboratories. The detailed test reports and all the results of the tests shall be available to other competent authorities or their designated bodies. Test reports shall demonstrate that the equipment meets all the performance requirements including where some environmental and site conditions are specific to a Member State and are outside the conditions for which the equipment has been already tested and type approved in another Member State;’
