Reference Number GRB-69-06
Date
9 Jan 2019
Summary Proposal to:
  1. add a footnote to the scope to exempt electrified vehicles where the internal combustion engine (ICE) operates under the test conditions
  2. clarify the intention of paragraph 6.2.:
    • that AVAS may be operational outside the specified speed ranges (e.g., in the USA where the speed range extends to 30 km/h),
    • align maximum sound with UN R51.03 ASEP, and
    • explicitly specify that the AVAS may function even when the ICE is running
  3. clarify under paragraph 6.2.6. that a manufacturer may install an attenuation to enable the system to operate at different sound levels
  4. split and clarify indoor and outdoor testing specifications under Annex 3 paragraph 2.2. to account for different needs such as a weather station
  5. amend the flowcharts in the Annex 3 Appendix to better reflect the regulation text.
