36. GRB welcomed the revised proposal of the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3) and noted that a revised document would be published as ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2010/145. GRB experts were in principle in favour of the revised proposal, but agreed to have a detailed review, at its next session in February 2011, of the provision on noise emissions (chapter H) and on the methods and instruments for measuring noise inside motor vehicles (chapter AL). WP.29 might consider adding the guidelines on measures increasing the audibility of hybrid and electric vehicles (see para. 31 above) as an annex to the R.E.3, if appropriate.

54. Recalling the discussion at its previous GRPE session on an updated version of the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3), the secretariat informed GRPE that a revised proposal ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2011/42 has been prepared, superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2009/123 and Corr.1 to 4. GRPE noted that a definition for non-road mobile machinery has been inserted, as proposed by the Working Party on General Safety provisions (GRSG).

48. GRSP considered ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2010/145 (superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2009/123, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2009/123/Corr.1, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2009/123/Corr.2, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2009/123/Corr.3, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2009/123/Corr.4) with GRSP-48-29. The proposed amendments are reproduced in Annex V to this report. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal to WP.29 and AC.1, for consideration and vote at their March 2011 sessions as draft amendments of GRSP to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2010/145.
