Proposal for amendments to the 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 96
Document GRPE/2014/15
27 March 2014

Proposal to enable Contracting Parties to continue to issue type approvals for agricultural tractor and non-road mobile machinery engines according to earlier versions of the Regulation provided such engines are destined for sale in countries that apply the earlier versions. In other words, a manufacturer would be able to obtain approvals in its home country based upon previous sets of requirements that may not be those applied within the home country (but are used in other markets).
