Work includes proposed editorial amendments to UN R186 covering removal of special use tyre references, alignment of symbols between vehicle and drum test methods in Annex 3, updates to ASTM standard references, clarification of introductory provisions, reordering of vehicle requirement paragraphs, splitting of vehicle and circuit requirement paragraphs, updates to test load definition, reworded alternative test program description, removal and correction of duplicate drum control system requirements, and sandpaper surface replacement provisions. Circuit and drum abrasion level ranges require further review by the Task Force on Tyre Abrasion.
