Geneva
Agenda Item 2.
UN Regulation No. 41 (Noise emissions of motorcycles)

3. Recalling its previous discussion on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRBP/2023/14 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRBP/2023/15, GRBP considered revised proposals for the use of the latest standard ISO 10844:2021 test track which had been submitted by the experts from France, IMMA and ISO (GRBP-79-13 and GRBP-79-14). GRBP adopted the proposals, as laid down in GRBP-79-13 and GRBP-79-14, and requested the secretariat to submit them for consideration and vote at the June 2024 sessions of WP.29 and the Administrative Committee (AC.1) as draft Supplement 3 to the 05 series of amendments and draft Supplement 11 to the 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 41.

4. The expert from IMMA presented interpretation documents GRBP-79-15, GRBP-79-16 and GRBP-79-38 on the application of the Real Driving Additional Sound Emission Provisions (RD-ASEP) in the 05 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 41. He explained that the objective of his documents was to avoid an excessive number of test runs through the proposed interpretation of the number of test points and the applicable test speed. Following a brief exchange of views, GRBP invited its experts to send their comments to IMMA and decided to revert to this topic at the next session.
