GRBP to note the report from the TF MU on its aim to harmonize measures for evaluating systematic errors and random errors to improve the test procedures.

9. The expert from OICA reported on the progress of the Task Force on Measurement Uncertainties (TF MU) (GRBP-71-04) and presented a strategy on how to handle measurement uncertainties in UN Regulations (GRBP-71-21). GRBP noted that the suggested approach could first apply to UN Regulations Nos. 51 and 117 and, at a later stage, to other UN Regulations as well.

10. Given the importance of this topic, GRBP decided to convert TF MU into an Informal Working Group on Measurement Uncertainties (IWG MU) and approved its Terms of Reference (GRBP-71-05, GRBP-71-31-Rev.1), as laid down in Annex IV. GRBP noted that IWG MU would be chaired by Norway, while OICA would act as secretary.

Text submitted by the expert of EC to update on the study and investigate the sound level limits of M- and N-category vehicles in Europe.

8. The expert of EC informed GRBP about a study on the sound level limits of M- and N-category vehicles which had started in December 2019 and was expected to be completed by June 2021 (GRBP-71-11). The aim of the study was to propose improved sound level limits for next phases of Regulation No. 540/2014 of the European Union in the coming years. The experts from Germany, ETRTO and OICA encouraged the study contractor to follow a holistic approach and to take into account various factors that contribute to sound emissions. GRBP invited those experts to send their comments to the contractor and requested the expert of EC to regularly inform GRBP about the study progress. The expert from Japan pointed out that his country would launch soon a similar study and that the recommendations of both studies should be harmonized internationally.
