Proposal prepared by the REC expert group for the 01 series of amendments to the UN Regulation on uniform provisions concerning the approval of Retrofit Emission Control devices for heavy-duty vehicles. The text includes a revision in the definitions of the REC devices, stricter limit values (reduction levels) for REC systems and transitional provisions for the sale of REC systems that meet the requirements of the REC Regulation in its original form. To assure coherence with the change in the definitions, the text also includes a revision of the test sequence for particulate reduction and the equivalence matrix for the Regulation No. 49 Standard series.
No objections to the proposal which is passed for consideration to adopt during the AC.1 session.
58. Agenda item 4.7.5, Regulation No. 132, document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2014/43, correct the title of the proposal to read “Proposal for the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 132 (Retrofit Emissions Control (REC) devices)” and replace in Annex 4 the figures “[nnn]” by “132” (3 times).
35. The Chair of the REC group illustrated ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2014/4, as updated by GRPE-68-17-Rev.2, containing a proposal for the 01 series of amendments to the UN Regulation on REC.
