Proposal from the EMC task force to delete obsolete transitional provisions from UN R10 and introduce additional transitional provisions for the 05 series of amendments (e.g., covering five-year period during which Contracting Parties must accept vehicles approved to the 04 series and after which parties may refuse vehicles that do not comply with the 05 series). The proposal also requires Contracting Parties to continue accepting non-electrified vehicles (i.e., vehicles without battery charging systems) previously approved to the 03 or 04 series of amendments even after the five-year transitional period.
28. On behalf of the Task Force on Electromagnetic Compatibility (TF EMC), the expert from OICA presented a status report (GRE-78-10-Rev.1). He introduced revised amendment proposals to Regulation No. 10 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2017/12) and extended transitional provisions (GRE-78-09-Rev.1). He further mentioned that TF EMC was considering an additional proposal from the expert of Spain on the direct current charging mode that would be presented to the next session of GRE.
29. The experts from India (GRE-78-25) and the Netherlands commented on the technical part of the TF EMC proposals. GRE was of the view that new transitional provisions would have to be submitted as an official document and should be aligned with the Draft General Guidelines for United Nations regulatory procedures and transitional provisions in UN Regulations, which were expected to be adopted by WP.29 at its November 2017 session (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2017/107, see agenda item 9, para. 36). GRE requested TF EMC to take into account the above considerations and to submit to the next session a revised consolidated proposal, possibly as a new series of amendments to Regulation No. 10.
