Proposal to amend the classifications of vehicle type in the consolidated version of the proposal for draft 03 series of amendments to Regulation No. 51.

There are two types of N1 having GVM<2.5t. One is front engine type. The other is a flat front vehicle with the engine under the seat and typical in Asian countries. Japan proposes that the sound limit of the latter type should be considered since the sound characteristics of the vehicles are same as that of the N1 having GVM<2.5t.

Discussion paper concerning acceleration test border lines.

Japan opposes the inclusion of specifications for Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Systems (AVAS) as contained within the consolidated proposal for the 03 series of amendments to UN R51 (GRB-58-04). AVAS specifications are actively under development as a new GTR and therefore, Japan cannot accept their definition under UN R51 until the GTR deliberations have been concluded.

Proposal of two options for inserting provisions on tire dimensions into the amendment proposed in document GRB/2013/4 to revise the Annex 3 test procedures and interpretation of resulting data.

Consolidated proposal for the 03 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 51, prepared by the expert group on UN R51 pursuant to their fourth meeting on 4 July.

This document is based on document GRB/2012/8 including documents GRB-57-17 (OICA amendments to the transitional provisions), GRB-2013-05 (modified ETRTO amendments for the use of the ISO 10844:2011 test track specifications), and the latest decisions of the EU Council.

Proposal from the International Organization of Vehicle Manufacturers to update the requirements on the noise test track to the latest stage of the applicable standards (from ISO 19844:1994 (i.e. Annex 8 of this Regulation) to ISO 10844:2011) and to incorporate transitional provisions to allow repaving of non-compliant test tracks to the ISO 10844:2011 standards.

Proposal to amend the classifications of vehicle type in the consolidated version of the proposal for draft 03 series of amendments to Regulation No. 51.

There are two types of N1 having GVM<2.5t. One is front engine type. The other is a flat front vehicle with the engine under the seat and typical in Asian countries. Japan proposes that the sound limit of the latter type should be considered since the sound characteristics of the vehicles are same as that of the N1 having GVM<2.5t.

Discussion paper concerning acceleration test border lines.

Japan opposes the inclusion of specifications for Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Systems (AVAS) as contained within the consolidated proposal for the 03 series of amendments to UN R51 (GRB-58-04). AVAS specifications are actively under development as a new GTR and therefore, Japan cannot accept their definition under UN R51 until the GTR deliberations have been concluded.

Consolidated version of the proposed 03 series of amendments to UN R51, including OICA remarks on updating references to Annex 9 and concerning the Annex 2 qualification of the vehicle to be tested in each instance.

Proposal from the Netherlands to update the requirements of the noise test track from
ISO 10844:1994 to ISO 10844:2011, including provisions for the repaving of non-compliant tracks. The proposal offers two alternatives: reference to ISO 10844:2011 or reproducing the whole text of the standard.

Document GRB/2012/08 from OICA proposes a text for the 03 series of amendments to
UN R51 intended to consolidate the GRB discussions as of the 55th session. The Netherlands proposes further improvements in order to incorporate the latest relevant ISO standards and to simplify the communication.

Proposed revisions to the Annex 3 test procedures and interpretation of resulting data. This is based upon informal document GRB-56-06.
