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).

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.
