Agenda Item 4.
UN Regulation No. 51 (Noise of M and N categories of vehicles)

6. On behalf of the Informal Working Group on Additional Sound Emission Provisions (IWG ASEP), the expert from Germany proposed clarifications and corrections (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRBP/2019/13). The expert from OICA suggested further modifications (GRBP-70-06). The expert of ISO proposed updates according to the latest revision of standard ISO 5130:2019 (GRBP-70-08-Rev.1). To facilitate the discussion, the expert from OICA prepared a consolidated version of amendments (GRBP-70-26-Rev.1). The expert from Italy pointed out the need for a transitional provision. Finally, GRBP adopted the proposal, as contained in Annex II of the session report, and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their March 2020 sessions as a draft Supplement 6 to the 03 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 51.

7. GRBP took note of the progress of IWG ASEP (GRBP-70-12).

8. The expert from OICA reported on the progress of the Task Force on Measurement Uncertainties (TF MU) (GRBP-70-15). He wondered whether TF MU should become a new IWG and who could become Chair. GRBP agreed to continue work in the framework of the Task Force for the time being and took note that the expert from Norway would be willing to chair TF MU as of its next session, which was scheduled to take place on 28 and 29 November 2019 in Brussels.
