UN R9: Proposal for the 08 series of amendments
UN R9: Proposal for the 08 series of amendments
Proposal to introduce ASEP requirements for L4 and L5 category vehicles with PMR > 50 W/kg. The proposal aligns ASEP for high powered L4 and L5 vehicles, used for passenger transport, with UN Regulation No 41.04 due to comparable sound emissions levels of L4 and L5 vehicles with the ones of L3 vehicles and the possibility of applying similar measurement methods for sound emissions for those vehicle categories. This proposal is supported by the Commission study on enhanced sound requirements for mopeds, quads and replacement silencers of L-category vehicles which resulted in amendments to UN Regulation Nos 9, 63 and 92 (ref. document WP.29/2017/2).
This proposal (WP.29/2019/6) was adopted by the World Forum. Seventeen Contracting Parties out of the 29 applying UN R9 were present for the vote by AC.1. Seventeen voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
WP.29/2019/7
UN R92: Proposal for the 02 series of amendments
UN R92: Proposal for the 02 series of amendments
Proposal to introduce requirements for non-original replacement exhaust silencing systems with multiple, manually or electronically adjustable, rider-selectable operating modes or variable geometries (NORESS with “flexibilities”). This is a consolidated version of the amended regulation. For more information on the changes, see document GRB/2018/6 where the changes are marked in bold and strikethrough text.
This proposal (WP.29/2019/7) was adopted by the World Forum. Fifteen Contracting Parties out of the 25 applying UN R92 were present for the vote by AC.1. Fifteen voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
