USA
where the speed range extends to 30 km/h),
align maximum sound with UN R51.03
ASEP
, and
explicitly specify that the
AVAS
may function even when the
ICE
is running
clarify under paragraph 6.2.6. that a manufacturer may install an attenuation to enable the system to operate at different sound levels
split and clarify indoor and outdoor testing specifications under Annex 3 paragraph 2.2. to account for different needs such as a weather station
amend the flowcharts in the Annex 3 Appendix to better reflect the regulation text.
