This status report documents the Tyre Abrasion Task Force’s progress toward finalizing a draft UN Regulation on tyre abrasion for C1 tyres, as presented to GRBP 83 Part II. The task force pursued three workstreams: data analysis to reduce method uncertainty and inversion risk, editorial improvements to increase clarity of the draft regulation, and development of a method equivalence solution. GRBP 83 Part I achieved consensus on limit values and introductory dates but could not reach consensus on equivalence procedures between convoy and drum methods. Six informal documents (GRBP-83-32-Rev.1, GRBP-83-48-Rev.1, GRBP-83-49, GRBP-83-50-Rev.1, GRBP-83-53, and GRBP-83-55) addressing equivalence methodology, drum specifications, and code of practice frequency were submitted for potential adoption at the extraordinary GRBP 83 Part II session.
