- Presentation made by Andrew Nathanson, ECORYS/TRL and informed of the questionnaire that had been set-up. To get the link for the questionnaire, contact: int-l-cat-leg@trl.co.uk.
- The chairman welcomed this work and assumed this would become important for the group.
- India asked what the EC meant by ‘global harmonization of testing equipment’ and what was the purpose of this, and added regional test equipment should not be restricted by this.
- EC explained that they want to harmonize equipment for Motor Vehicles and Motorcycles. As example EC mentioned the reference temperature, even if this may not be a big issue because you can re-calculate it, it may lead to confusion and errors.
- Korea and India noted that the information shown by TRL at slide no. 15 contained a mistake and would give the correct information on legislative bodies involved in regulations in their countries.
- The chairman invited all CPs and stakeholders of the group to respond to the questionnaire as this will bring important input to the work of the EPPR group.
Presentation by Japan-MoE
- Japan stated that their expectations had been to amend limit values, prepare for regulations (evap emissions and OBD) to be developed by the IG.
- EC saw several elements that were open for harmonization;
- EC informed that in EU they are putting OBD out of the environmental scope by including safety. As such, EC saw a central role for OBD more fast and efficient vehicle repair, by setting a flag for both environmental and safety problems.

72. The expert from Sweden introduced GRPE-65-06, containing information on the introduction of the possibility for national type approval of retrofit emission control system for heavy duty vehicles. The use of these type approved retrofit systems is limited to vehicles designed and approved up to the euro III emission standard (namely city buses) and enables the reduction of pollutant emissions (95 per cent for particles, and 70 per cent for NOX). The effective control the retrofit system shall include indication to the driver if the reduction ratio for NOX is below 50 per cent and if the reagent level in the tank falls below 10 per cent. Replying to a question from the expert from Switzerland, he clarified that the possibility to use vehicles in environmental zones is the main incentive to retrofit them.
73. The expert from Japan introduced GRPE-65-14, containing a summary of the future Japanese policy on motor vehicle emission reduction. He provided details on future emission reduction measures for motorcycles, heavy duty diesel motor vehicles and special motor vehicles (such as non-road mobile machinery) powered by diesel fuel. Speaking about emission reduction from heavy duty diesel vehicles, he specified that the focus will be on the improvement of durability and reliability of NOX after treatment devices and on the use of off-cycle emission measurement. He also elaborated on tailpipe emission reduction measures, current technologies and challenges. Following requests from the expert from the United States and India, he clarified the approach adopted on the measurement of opacity and provided information on Portable Emissions Measurement Systems (PEMS) on heavy duty vehicles.
74. The expert from the Russian Federation introduced GRPE-65-20, containing an analysis, based on studies carried out in the USA and the Russian Federation, on the role of tyre dust with respect to air pollution and health impacts. He invited GRPE participants to share information on the subject and called for the consideration of regulatory action on it.
75. GRPE welcomed the presentation by the experts from Japan, the Russian Federation and Sweden and noted the efforts undertaken in the fields addressed. Agreeing with the suggestion of the expert from Switzerland, GRPE recommended forwarding the document GRPE-65-20 to the Working Party on Braking and Running Gear (GRRF).

Document EPPR-02-04 and EPPR-02-09 were presented by Japan.
Document EPPR-02-04 provides an update of the Future Emission Reduction Measures for Motorcycles.
Document EPPR-02-09 explains how 2-, 3- and 4-wheel vehicles are categorized and tested for pollutant emissions in Japan.
Although the emission regulation of the 2006 Standard is applied, the amount of HC and CO emissions per distance travelled is still much higher than those of four‐wheeled vehicles.
Although the tailpipe emission standard has been implemented for the first time in 1998 and then reinforced in 2006, the relative contribution of evaporative gas within the emission has been higher.
It is important to control the amount of emission through monitoring the in‐use malfunction of emission reduction systems.
Considering the new EURO 4 becoming effective from 2016 and allowing adequate time for due technological development by motorcycle manufacturers, it is considered appropriate that application of new regulation in Japan occurs by the end of 2016. Japan explained that new regulation will apply by the end of 2016 for new type approvals by end of 2016, but the mandatory date for all new vehicles (‘current production’/registration) was not decided yet.
The motorcycle evaporative emission regulation is modeled after the CA Evaporative Emission Test, with the permissible limit of 2.0 g/test.
With regards to the reference to the regulation in California for evaporative emissions, TLR asked whether Japan meant the current or future regulation. Japan confirmed they meant current regulation.
For Japan the OBD equipment that monitors malfunctions caused by a short‐circuit or open electric circuits is now mandated. The implementation will occur by the end of 2016.
Regarding the OBD II that monitors malfunctions caused by deterioration of systems, components or units, it is difficult to determine the validity at this point and will be considered once the technical prospect is confirmed in the future.
It was explained that Japan would like EPPR to give priority to L3, evaporative emissions and OBD.
To a question by India and TRL, Japan explained that L7-vehicles would need to be tested in their country according to cycle for cars (JC07/WLTP).
