Proposal to include provisions on maximum noise emissions from audible vehicle alerting systems (AVAS) under development for low-sound vehicles.
25. GRB recalled the recommendation of the Administrative Committee for the coordination of Work (AC.2) at the November 2012 session (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1102, para. 12), that GRB would find a proper balance for noise limit values and minimum sound levels for QRTV equipped with AVAS. Therefore, the expert from France made a presentation (GRB-58-16), addressing this concern. He suggested fixing the purpose of the UN GTR development by avoiding excessive noise and preventing conflict with the future 03 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 51. GRB agree to resume discussion at its January 2014 session on the basis of the outcome of the IWG on QRTV.
