Report on the deliberations of the Particle Measurement Programme informal group, including proposal for the PMP group to undertake the development of a set of recommended measurement techniques and sampling procedures, investigation of typical driving patterns, compilation and monitoring of on-going research projects, as well as networking and exchange of information with experts in the field of non-exhaust traffic related particle emissions.

Summary of discussions with a proposal for a work programme with the objective, among others, of developing a set of recommended sampling/measurement methodologies to address the problem of road, tire, and other non-exhaust airborne particles along roadways.

PMP work program including on exhaust emissions and non-exhaust (tire, brake) vehicle emissions.

This document is a consolidated text that includes the proposals of the GRPE working document GRPE/2014/12, the proposals of the informal document GRPE-69-07/Rev.1 and the comments to these documents as received from the contracting parties during GRPE 69 session.

The purpose of this proposal is to adjust the engine power-measurement calculation for supercharged and turbocharged engines fitted with a system that compensates for ambient conditions such as temperature and altitude. The proposed change would eliminate redundant correction factors that result in inaccurate results for these engine configurations.

Proposal from the GRPE secretariat to correct typographical and editorial errors in the current official text.

Editorial correction to the proposal to adapt the on-board diagnostics (OBD) requirements of UN R83 in line with technical progress.

Editorial corrections to the proposal to update the on-board diagnostics (OBD) requirements of Regulation No. 83 in line with technological progress.

Annotations to and additional items on the agenda for the June 2014 GRPE session.

Text prepared by the GRPE working group on HDH to add the test procedure on heavy duty hybrids. The text has been prepared as a consolidated version of the GTR.

Text prepared by the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) in order to adapt some requirements to the current state of technology and to transpose the latest decisions of the EU regarding OBD threshold limits.

Proposed text of the guide to worldwide environmental and related regulations concerning electric vehicles as developed by the informal working group on Electric Vehicles and the Environment.

Text prepared by the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) in order to update the on-board diagnostics (OBD) requirements in line with technological progress. This document includes amendments to the 06 and 07 series of amendments, superseding documents GRPE/2014/8 and GRPE/2014/9 from the January 2014 GRPE session.

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).

The aim of the amendment is to clarify the wording of transitional provisions and align them with the General Guidelines for UN Regulatory Procedures and Transitional Provisions in UN Regulations (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1044/Rev.1). In addition, the proposed wording above would allow Contracting Parties to refuse UN type-approvals if the requirements specified in the 07 series of amendments are not met.

Proposal from the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) to adapt certain requirements to the current state of technology and to transpose the latest decisions of the European Union (EU) regarding on-board diagnosis (OBD) threshold limits.

OICA proposal to adapt the on-board diagnostics (OBD) requirements of UN R83 in line with technical progress.

OICA proposal to update the on-board diagnostics (OBD) requirements of Regulation No. 83 in line with technological progress.

Proposal to update the reference fuels in the 06 series of amendments to align the series with the reference fuel changes introduced in the 07 series of amendments to UN R83.

The purpose of this proposal is to include the necessary transitional provisions to Supplement 4 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 101, in order to ensure consistency between the reference fuels prescribed in Regulation No. 83 (Emissions of M1 and N1 vehicles) and those prescribed in this Regulation.

Proposal to delete the definition of “vehicles designed to fulfil specific social needs” because such vehicles no longer exist in the 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 83. This proposal is in line with the Euro 6 stages of European Union Regulation (EC) No. 715/2007 and implementation Regulation (EC) No. 692/2008.

The objective of this document is to provide recommendations for the minimum quality of market fuels (i.e. gasoline and diesel) that should be introduced concurrently with the corresponding emissions standards. They complement the motor vehicle and NRMM pollutant emission standards that a country or a region may be considering to introduce.
