At the 13th session of GRVA the UK presented an informal document (GRVA-13-19) with the purpose of starting discussion on the content of UN Regulation 13, Annex 18. The proposal was made in recognition of the inconsistent understanding of the current text, identified during the discussions leading to the 03 series of amendments to UN R79 which shared common language. It is intended that using harmonised text between Regulations, as far as is practicable, will deliver more consistent application of the requirements and avoid unnecessary changes in procedures and documentation for different vehicle systems.

Proposal for amendments to Annex 18 regarding special requirements for electronic control systems and for related transitional provisions for its entry into force.

Draft proposal to introduce provisions for the type approval of vehicles with electro-mechanical braking (EMB) systems.

Proposal to introduce provisions for electric regenerative braking systems.
