Proposal to expand the scope of the activity to include C2 and C3 tyres.

Proposal from the TPMSTI task force to revise the communication interface protocol of TPMS between towing and towed vehicles of categories N2, N3 and O3, O4, respectively (described in Annex 5 on the basis of the ISO bus requirements) in alignment with UN R13 and ISO updates. The proposal further corrects and clarifies provisions across TPMS, TPRS and CTIS.

Proposal to correct some references, which need to be updated as a consequence of document WP.29/2020/70, adopted at the June 2020 WP.29 session, notably

1. Paragraph 5.4.1 renumbered as paragraph 5.5.1.
2. Paragraphs 5.4. and 5.5. respectively renumbered as paragraphs 5.5. and 5.6.

Proposal by experts from IWG ASEP for new series of amendments.

Proposal to include requirements for wet grip of tyres of classes C2 and C3 in worn state to the scope of the working group activities.

Overview of UTAC CERAM testing designed to consider the impact of additional tightening of tyre performance limits on the balance
between legal requirements (rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling sound emission) and other performance aspects not subject to legal requirements.

Measurement Uncertainties informal group proposal to clarify the text and to amend:

1. Annex 3, Paragraph 1.4. to delete determination of the vehicle speed by independent speed measuring devices
2. Annex 3, Paragraph 1.5. to clarify that no determination of the wind speed is needed for indoor testing
3. Annex 3, Paragraph 2.1.3. to clarify and differentiate between indoor and outdoor testing
4. Annex 3, Paragraph 2.1.3.1.2. to clarify the temperature range for indoor facilities.
5. Annex 3, Paragraph 2.1.3.2.2. to clarify the temperature range for outdoor facilities.

Proposal to clarify:

1. Signature of the 3PMSF test reports
2. Mould cure retreaded tyre (not UN R117 pattern).

Proposal to align the provisions for retreaded tyres with the proposals of France for UN Regulation No. 30 and of the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization (ETRTO) for UN Regulation No. 117.

Proposal to align the provisions for retreaded tyres with the proposals of the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization (ETRTO) for UN Regulations Nos. 54 and 117.

Proposal to amend the extended mobility tyre (EMT) symbol following the detection of dimensional inconsistencies within the International Organization for Standardization Working Group (ISO) TC31/SC3/WG19, where the dimension “0,33h” was judged wrong and constituting an unnecessary over constraint and to amend the inflation value to be used for the tyre conditioning when assessing the “flat tyre running mode” of “run flat tyres” and of “extended mobility tyres”.

Proposal prepared by the Task Force on Studded Tyres (TF ST) to establish a new UN Regulation on uniform provisions concerning the approval of studded tyres with regard to their snow performance (distinguished from studdable tyres regulated by UN Regulation No. 117).

Proposal prepared by the experts on communication interfaces of the Task Force on Tyre Pressure Monitoring System and Tyre Installation (TF TPMSTI) to update the requirements on the communication interfaces between towing and towed vehicles.

Proposal to require wheel attachments with three or more fixing components (nuts or studs) in the scope of the Regulation, to restrict the difference in pitch circle diameter (PCD) of a wheel type comprised of more than two versions, to carry out additional rotating bending tests on each version with a PCD difference to a tested version of more than 6.5 mm, and to establish specifications for comparison of replica wheels with the minimum level of the vehicle manufacturer´s replacement wheels.
