Proposal suggests that 2 new series of amendments are necessary: 83.08 to cover ISC for the WLTP Test and 83.09 to add ISC for the new UNR „RDE“ (which also has no ISC requirements) because Contracting Parties should be free to apply UNR 154 and UNR "RDE“, each with or without ISC without connection
A Contracting Party applying UNR 154 and UNR 83.08 but not UNR "RDE“ would be obliged to conduct or at least monitor RDE ISC in the absence of 83.09

This proposal aims at harmonizing the text of UN Regulation No. 83 and UN Regulation No. 101. Furthermore, one error was found in the formulas used for the calculation of a NEDC road load values from those determined according to UN GTR No. 15 (WLTP) and one wrong cross reference in the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 101.
1. Harmonization of UN Regulation No. 83 (Annex 4a, Appendix 7b, paragraph 1.) and UN Regulation No. 101 (Annex 7, Appendix 2, paragraph 1.); in Annex 7, Appendix 2, paragraph 1. Vehicles in general are not approved according to UN GTR No. 15, therefore the text phrase of UN R83 is recommended.
2. Correction of wrong reference to Annex 4 instead of Annex 7 of UN GTR No.15; in Annex 7, Appendix 2, paragraph 2.1.(b).
3. When copying the methodology from EU regulation, a ‘.’ was wrongly introduced instead of a ‘-‘ in the formula.

12. The representative from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2021/4 as amended by GRPE-82-17 proposing to correct errors in the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 101.

13. The representative from the European Commission (EC) requested a clarification about the possibility to submit those proposals as corrigendum instead of supplements. The secretariat clarified that a corrigendum is a document issued to correct an error or errors in a document or publication that has already been issued. He further added that the errors to be corrected were present in the documents issued and can therefore not be considered as corrigendum.

14. GRPE endorsed the proposals to amend the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 101 and requested the secretariat to submit ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2021/4 and GRPE-82-17, as amended by Annex IV of the session report to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their June 2021 sessions as draft Supplement 10 to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 101.

Proposal to amend Annex 7 – Appendix 2 paragraph 1., to provide the road load power calculation method that may be used

Proposal identifies 2 concerns:
“Coasting“ – Coasting is defined in GTR 15 and UNR 154 and must be deactivated for testing, may raise concerns for the approval of many hybrid vehicles and for conventional vehicles with modern start stop systems.
“Single roller dynamometer in 4WD operation“ – This combination is forbidden by GTR 15 and UNR 154 for the Type 1
test. There appears to be no reason for this ban (restraint systems must meet requirements for all configurations) other than an assumption that the configuration is not used for type 1 testing

Proposes a shortened Test Procedure NEDC for PEV and alternative for conformity of procedure.

20. The representative from OICA introduced GRPE-82-20 and GRPE-82-21 proposing to amend UN Regulation No. 101 to include a Shortened Test Procedure NEDC for PEVs. The representative from the EC required more time for internal discussions before expressing a position on this proposal. The representative from OICA expected to introduce this proposal as a working document in the next session of GRPE in June 2021.

The presentation supports the proposal for a Shortened Test Procedure NEDC for PEV acc. to WLTP (including adding PEV COP procedure alternative).

Proposes the modifications (essentially corrections of mistakes) are derived from the text of document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2021/7 from Japan, related to UN GTR 04, as modified by Informal Document GRPE- 82-09

29. The representative from OICA introduced GRPE-82-23 and GRPE-82-24 proposing some corrections to the 06 and 05 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 49 respectively. The representative from the EC required further clarifications on the proposal to amend Table 7 that would imply a misalignment with other existing national legislations. GRPE agreed to consider those proposals after further justifications are elaborated by interested stakeholders.

Proposal makes changes to take into consideration the availability of gases for flame ionization detectors and the linearization of the gas analyzer.
UN R49 defines no linearity requirements for humidity sensors. As the humidity content of the intake air is an essential measure for the calculation of the specific exhaust emission, it is important to add requirement for humidity sensor (Reference: ISO 16183 the accuracy of the absolute humidity shall be +- 5%).

As the gas divider is a necessary tool to verify the linearization of the gas analyzer it is mandatory that the deviation of the gas divider is lower than that of the instrument under test. In combination with a calibration gas which has an accuracy of 1 % and a gas divider, which has an accuracy of 1 % it is only possible to reach a guaranteed analyzer accuracy of 2 %.

In the automotive industry Helium is used as so fuel gas for flame ionization detectors (FID) to measure Hydrocarbon emissions. In the FID fuel gas Helium is mixed with Hydrogen in a ratio of 40 % H2 and 60 % He. The annual fluctuations of the helium global market lead to an insufficient supply with FID fuel gas, like happened lately during summer 2018. In order to prevent the industry from the fluctuations of the global helium market, the US legislation reacted already in 2014 and allowed the usage of Nitrogen as batch gas for the FID fuel gas.

29. The representative from OICA introduced GRPE-82-23 and GRPE-82-24 proposing some corrections to the 06 and 05 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 49 respectively. The representative from the EC required further clarifications on the proposal to amend Table 7 that would imply a misalignment with other existing national legislations. GRPE agreed to consider those proposals after further justifications are elaborated by interested stakeholders.

Proposes to amend the scope to clarify that UN R 49-06 series engine certification (corresponding to Euro VI) have no smoke and does not include the certification according to UN Regulation 24.

34. The expert from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2021/8, as amended by GRPE-82-25, proposing to amend the 03 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 24. The representative from EC, after checking with other services from the EC in charge of road worthiness tests, supported the proposal also underlining that a deeper review of the test method would be needed, also for light duty vehicles. The representative from the Netherlands supported the proposal and volunteered to be involved in any follow-up activities that might arise. The representative from OICA confirmed that OICA was looking at similar proposals for light duty vehicles that would be submitted for consideration to GRPE in the next sessions.

35. GRPE endorsed the proposal to amend the 03 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 24 and requested the secretariat to submit ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2021/8 and GRPE-82-25, as amended by Annex VI of the session report to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their June 2021 sessions as draft Supplement 6 to the 03 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 24.

Compares terminology between M.R. 2 in comparison to UN GTR15

54. The representative from OICA introduced GRPE-82-28 presenting differences in definitions between the latest amendment to UN GTR No. 15 and M.R.2. He further outlined different options to solve the issues raised: (a) delete M.R.2 if not maintained; (b) automatically update M.R2 when updating UN Regulations; (c) review and correct inconsistencies on a regular basis; (d) expand to other vehicle categories.

55. The representative from Germany supported the continuous development and maintenance of M.R.2. The Chair recalled M.R.2 was a key issue for the former Chair and he agreed that M.R.2 needed to be kept up-to-date. The representative from EC reminded a decision from the seventy seventh session of GRPE which was left incomplete (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/77, para. 55.)

56. GRPE requested the secretariat to submit GRPE-82-28 as a working document including a draft proposal to amend M.R.2 during the next session of GRPE in June 2021.

OICA comment on the IWG EVE proposal for GTR on in-vehicle battery durability

50. The Chair of IWG on EVE presented the status report introducing the latest activities of the group (GRPE-82-36). He detailed the latest activities with respect to in-vehicle battery durability and introduced the latest draft of the UN GTR (GRPE-82-27).

51. The Chair congratulated the work accomplished so far and appreciated the ambition and innovative nature of the work done. The representatives from France, Germany, and Sweden supported the work and the status as presented by the Chair of the IWG on EVE and acknowledged the initial timing forecasted might be difficult to meet.

52. The representative from OICA introduced GRPE-82-33 on their position about the current status of the work. The representative from EC congratulated all the parties involved and the big progress made in a very limited time, recalling the common position reached by the Canadian, US and EU delegations. She also recalled the importance of a timely introduction of the draft UN GTR for several stakeholders and thanked the Chair of the IWG on EVE for the accurate presentation of the current status during its status report.

53. The Chair of the IWG on EVE concluded by mentioning the interest from sub-national stakeholders such as the California Air Resources Board (CARB) in such piece of legislation, and the highest priority of the IWG remained to deliver a procedure which is right and timely.
