The purpose is to ensure that the target test speed is either 10 km/h, or 20 km/h, in forward motion, or 6 km/h in reverse motion and that the tolerances given by the regulation are linked to the testing and not used for more favorable testing speed.
12. The expert from France introduced a proposal that aimed to clarify the interpretation of the requirements concerning the variation of the sound emitted proportionally with the vehicle speed (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRBP/2021/14). She also proposed to clarify the testing requirements (GRBP-74-05). GRBP supported in principle these proposals, subject to replacement in GRBP-74-05, paragraph 6.2.3.2. of “≥” with “greater or equal to”, but in view of other ongoing activities on UN Regulation No. 138 decided to await further amendment proposals with the aim to combine them into a single package before submitting to WP.29 and AC.1.
