| PMP TF 3a Consolidation & Update of UNR179 & GTR24 |
| Reference Number: PMP-56.3-02 |
|
PMP TF 3a is consolidating and updating UN R179 and GTR 24 through weekly web-meetings organized by JRC with 30+ participants. Over 50 topics have been identified and categorized by priority. Key issues include aligning Type Approval and Conformity of Production testing procedures, harmonizing cooling air adjustment requirements, clarifying vehicle c-factor calculations, adding definitions for light-duty vehicles exceeding 3.5 tonnes, and addressing test wheel load per GRPE-94-15e. The task force is preparing track changes versions and supporting documentation for major changes. |

| PMP Task Force 4 status report |
| Reference Number: PMP-56.3-07 |
|
Task Force 4 addresses brake system development towards dry brakes, specifically electromechanical brakes. Current methods to determine friction brake torque available for hydraulic systems are not all applicable for dry systems. Task Force 4 targets defining a pressure-based equivalent method for electromechanical brake systems and reviewing document validity for electromechanical braking systems. Work Package B completed text document review with proposed changes due end of May 2026. Work Package A discusses two alternative approaches for c-factor calculation: clamping force based and recuperated energy based, with verification tests planned by end of June 2026. |

| PMP Task Force 4: Revision of WP.29/2025/84 |
| Reference Number: PMP-56.3-08 |
|
Proposal to amend UN GTR 24 (Laboratory Measurement of Brake Emissions for Light-Duty Vehicles) by clarifying requirements for electromechanical brakes and dry brakes, modifying test procedures, updating definitions and technical specifications, revising cooling airflow adjustment methodologies, refining PM and PN measurement protocols, and adjusting calibration intervals and quality control procedures. |

| Particle Measurement Programme: Minutes of the 56th (May 2026) session |
| Reference Number: PMP-56.3-10 |
|
The 56th PMP session convened online on 7 May 2026 with approximately 70 participants. Meeting minutes from 13 March 2026 were accepted. PMP agreed on a joint neutral template for all task forces. TF3a discussed cooling air adjustment, temperature criteria, and vehicle emission factors, with proposals requested by end of May 2026. TF3b will discuss family building and speed-limited vehicles. TF3c presented brake replacement parts activities. TF4 prepared work package B on electromechanical brakes and requested feedback by end of May 2026. TF5 reported progress on GTR on HD brake particle emissions with test campaigns planned. The next meeting is expected end of June or beginning of July 2026. |
