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. |
