| Proposal for a new UN GTR (Laboratory Measurement of Brake Emissions for Heavy-Duty Vehicles) |
| Reference Number: GRPE/2026/29 |
|
Proposal to establish a globally harmonised laboratory methodology for measuring brake particulate matter and particle number emissions from Heavy-Duty Vehicles. The UN GTR defines the test cycle (Worldwide Harmonized Heavy Duty Brake Cycle), minimum system requirements, test conditions, equipment preparation, brake dynamometer capabilities, brake enclosure design, sampling tunnel design, and sampling plane design. It applies to vehicles of categories M₂, M₃, N₂, N₃, and O₃, O₄ concerning braking, covering both friction braking systems (disc and drum brakes). The regulation includes requirements for brake bedding procedures, emissions measurements, calibration, and ongoing quality controls. A version with tracked changes is available. |

| UN R179: Proposal for a Supplement |
| Reference Number: GRPE/2026/30 |
|
Proposal to establish a new supplement to UN Regulation No. 179, improving and correcting brake emissions measurement procedures for light-duty vehicles of categories M₁ and N₁. The regulation applies full-friction braking testing on brake dynamometers using the WLTP-Brake cycle comprising ten trips and 303 brake deceleration events. Testing includes three sections: cooling air adjustment, brake bedding with five cycle repetitions, and emissions measurement with three cycle repetitions. Compliance is demonstrated by measuring PM10 and SPN10 emissions from brake corner emission family parents, with whole-vehicle emissions calculated using friction braking share coefficients specific to vehicle electrification types. PM10 limits are 3 mg/km for M₁/N₁ vehicles and 5 mg/km for N₁ Class III/N₂ vehicles. Conformity of production requires annual testing of brake corner emission families with statistical evaluation per decision charts through 31 December 2029 (Phase I, PM10 only), with Phase II from 1 January 2030 evaluating both PM10 and SPN10. A version of this document with tracked changes is available. |

| Proposal for Amendment 3 to UN GTR No. 24 |
| Reference Number: GRPE/2026/31 |
|
Proposal to modify UN GTR No. 24 with respect to laboratory measurement procedures for brake emissions of light-duty vehicles. This amendment improves and corrects the testing procedure, including detailed requirements for test system setup, cooling air conditioning, brake dynamometer specifications, WLTP-Brake cycle execution, emissions measurements for particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10) and particle number (TPN10, SPN10), calibration protocols, and reporting of results. The regulation defines brake corner emissions families, friction braking share coefficients for different vehicle electrification types (ICE, HEV categories, PEV), and test procedures using fully-enclosed brake dynamometers with isokinetic sampling systems. A version with tracked changes is available. |

Proposal to include testing of vehicles with limited speed. The document sets out the laboratory measurement procedure for brake emissions from light-duty vehicles of categories M₁ and N₁, including vehicles with maximum speed below the Base cycle maximum speed. Testing involves three sections: cooling air adjustment, brake bedding with five repetitions of the WLTP-Brake cycle, and brake emissions measurement with one WLTP-Brake cycle. Brake corner emission families are tested on a component test bench under full-friction braking conditions, measuring PM₁₀ and SPN₁₀ emissions. Compliance is demonstrated using brake corner emissions family parents. Conformity of production requires monthly sampling and testing of brake components, with results evaluated using statistical decision charts through 31 December 2029 for PM₁₀ and thereafter for both PM₁₀ and SPN₁₀. |
