The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and precision of measurements of an automatic weighing system used to assess the mass emission of particulate matter emitted by internal combustion engines. Thirty test cycles were carried out for cars equipped with spark-ignition and compression-ignition engines that met the Euro 4, Euro 5 and Euro 6 emission standards. Exhaust gas samples for analysis were taken according to EU 2017/1151 recommendations for driving cycles performed on AVL and Zöllner chassis dynamometers, AVL-CVS i60 LD LE and HORIBA-CVS 7400 S exhaust-gas collection systems, WLTC driving cycle according to EU 2017/1151, NEDC according to UNECE No. 83, RDE, RTS and TFL cycles, non-standard cycles of car manufacturers. The mass emission of particulate matter was measured using Teflon-coated glass filters of Pallflex® Emfab™ type TX40HI20WW, which ranged between 96 ÷ 102 mg.
