The IWG discussed the draft GTR document prepared by OICA. The draft GTR document included elements from the US NHTSA NPRM, current Japanese guidelines and JASIC recommendations, UN R.E. 3 annex 2, GRB IWG, and OICA. In addition to revisions of the Purpose and Scope, significant time was spent on discussing the need for a sound when the vehicle is “stationary” and/or when “commencing motion”. Also, revisions to clarify the definition of “ten consecutive times” for testing purposes, and pitch shifting requirements were proposed.

The revised draft GTR document is available for review online at the GTR IWG work site.(https://www2.unece.org/wiki/display/trans/GTR+for+QRTV+-+4th+session)
