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

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.

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.

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).

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.
