28 Aug UN R51: Proposal for a Guideline regarding the Interpretation of Paragraph 6.2.3. ASEP in the 03 series of amendments GRBP-84-17 2026-08-28 Proposal for a Guideline regarding the Interpretation of Paragraph 6.2.3. ASEP in the 03 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 51, updating Informal Document GRB-68-03 and based on GRB/2005/5 and GRB/2010/9. Part A addresses internal combustion and hybrid vehicles when the combustion engine is operating, defining typical on-road driving as vehicle speeds between 15 km/h and 100 km/h, accelerations not exceeding 2 m/s² and vehicle performance not exceeding 35 m/s², and engine speeds of at least 1.5 times idle speed and not exceeding the maximum outlined in Annex 7. Significant deviation means sound level exceeding reference values by at least 6 dB(A). Type approval test results derive from Annex 3 or Annex 7 values, with reference values established using regression curves or calculation principles. Part B addresses electric and hybrid vehicles propelled electrically only, extending guidance to electrified vehicles and Enhanced Exterior Sound introduced by Supplement 11. Typical on-road driving for electric vehicles includes vehicle speeds greater than 0 km/h and up to 100 km/h and standstill covered by UN-R 138. Significant deviation for electric vehicles is at least 3–6 dB(A).
28 Aug UN R117: Proposal for a new supplement to the 02 Series of Amendments (ETRTO) GRBP-84-18 2026-08-28 Proposal to solve the discrepancies between the test report format and the description of the test method for C2 and C3 tyres. ETRTO
28 Aug UN R117: Proposal for a Supplement 19 to the 02 series of amendments (ETRTO) GRBP-84-19 2026-08-28 Proposal replaces the GRBP2026/26 ETRTO
28 Aug UN R117: Proposal for a Supplement 5 to the 04 series of amendments (ETRTO) GRBP-84-20 2026-08-28 Road legal race tyres are currently defined in the new UN R186 on abrasion but fall out of its scope. Considering that the new UN R186 on abrasion applies only to tyres that conform to UN Regulation No. 117., it is proposed to replicate therein the definition, the marking and the requirements of road legal race tyres by adding the new paragraphs 2.21., 4.5. and 6.9. ETRTO
28 Aug UN R30: Proposal for a Supplement 28 the 02 series of amendments (ETRTO) GRBP-84-21 2026-08-28 Proposal to improve the readability of the text by using only the wording “run flat tyre”, mentioning the alternative wording “self supporting tyre” in a note and restricts the use of ZR and ZRF marking to the tyres suitable for speeds greater than 300 km/h. ETRTO
2 Sep UN R64: Proposal for a Supplement 3 to the 03 Series of Amendments (ETRTO) GRBP-84-23/Rev.1 2026-09-02 Proposal to improve the readability of the text by using only the wording “run flat tyre”, mentioning the alternative wording “ self supporting tyre” in a note. ETRTO
