Hi All.
I phoned VOSA, who are now Driving Standards, asking about these new emission rules and how they affect a new build. I got the following reply just now.
...
There has been no change to MSVA regulation of late, and there are no impending requirements in the future that we know of at the this stage.
So as it stands you are only required to meet the current standard of 4.5% CO at Idle (for Spark Ignition Engines).
The MSVA manual can be found in the following link:

Kind Regards
Mike Jones
