BEA is Bosch’s emissions-analysis family. Systems and combinations can include petrol/gas exhaust analysis, diesel smoke opacity measurement and OBD information. The BEA 950 S1 is listed by Bosch UK as a complete petrol, gas and diesel system.

Period Bosch literature identifies BEA 060 gas and BEA 070 diesel-smoke modules; BEA 550 is a mobile system offered in different configurations. BEA 090 is a particle counter, a different measurement from smoke opacity. Some configurations include KTS 515 for global OBD.

Equipment approvals, test procedures and particle-counting obligations differ by jurisdiction. Do not assume requirements quoted in a continental European brochure apply to a UK MOT station.
