Proposal to establish a globally harmonised laboratory methodology for measuring brake particulate matter and particle number emissions from Heavy-Duty Vehicles. The UN GTR defines the test cycle (Worldwide Harmonized Heavy Duty Brake Cycle), minimum system requirements, test conditions, equipment preparation, brake dynamometer capabilities, brake enclosure design, sampling tunnel design, and sampling plane design. It applies to vehicles of categories M₂, M₃, N₂, N₃, and O₃, O₄ concerning braking, covering both friction braking systems (disc and drum brakes). The regulation includes requirements for brake bedding procedures, emissions measurements, calibration, and ongoing quality controls. A version with tracked changes is available.
