1. Adoption of the agenda
GRB-60-05 | General information and WP.29 highlights for the 60th session of the Working Party on Noise
2. Regulation No. 28 (Audible warning devices)
GRB/2014/4 | Proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 28 The current UN R28 test procedures specify voltages that cannot be reached by many vehicles' internal battery charges alone; however, the provisions can be met if the vehicle is warmed up and run at idle. Therefore, OICA proposes to allow vehicles to be run at idle during the test procedure. OICA also proposes to change the minimum sound level requirement for vehicles of category M and N and motorcycles of a power greater than 7 kW from 93 dB to 87 dB.
GRB-60-16 | Assessment on the Minimum Sound Level of the Horn Review of vehicle horn regulations across various markets towards assessing the minimum sound level of 87 dB(A) under UN R28.
