Nov 2015
23. The GRB Chair reported on the results achieved by GRB during its sixty-second session (for details, see the report of the session ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRB/60), in particular, the adoption of a draft Regulation on Quiet Road Transport Vehicles (QRTV) under the 1958 Agreement.
24. He further informed the World Forum that GRB agreed to continue its work on QRTV with a view to address concerns raised by the World Blind Union (WBU) and to finalize a UN GTR on QRTV. To this end, GRB requested the extension of the mandates of both IWG for a QRTV Regulation and IWG on QRTV for a UN GTR until December 2016. WP.29 gave its consent for both mandate extensions, subject to confirmation by AC.3 for the mandate extension of the IWG on QRTV for a UN GTR.

21. The expert from WBU called for shared responsibility of drivers and vulnerable road users for road safety and requested that the Audible Vehicle Alert System (AVAS) of QRTV be “ON” while the vehicle is stationary and that the driver should not be able to deactivate (or pause) AVAS (GRB-62-03). He also referred to a study (GRB-62-16) suggesting that the proposed AVAS level of sound did not seem to make QRTV with AVAS more detectable to the average blind person than was QRTV without AVAS. According to the study, more research would be needed to determine a minimal noise level that would satisfy the desire to reduce noise emissions while remaining safe for pedestrians.

Document Reference Number: GRB-62-09

Description: At the GRB meeting in January 2015 the Netherlands introduced a justification and proposal for future tyre noise limits (document GRB-61-03). During the discussion, it was suggested to investigate whether difference in performance existed between Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) tyres and replacement tyres, noting that the transitional provisions in EC/661/2009 take into account the earlier introduction of noise limits of OEM tyres mounted on new vehicle types. Therefore, the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment asked M+P to investigate the statistics of tyre noise label values in OEM tyres in more detail.

12. The expert from the Netherlands presented a study (GRB-62-09 and Add.1) on noise emission from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) tyres of a specific size which were found to be around 1 dB(A) lower than the one from replacement tyres of the same size. The expert, thus, proposed to further reduce the limit values for OEM tyres in the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 117 (GRB-62-11 and Add.1).
13. The expert from Switzerland expressed his support for the general direction of the Dutch proposal. The experts from Germany and EC were of the view that, at this stage, it would be premature to tighten the tyre noise limits of Regulation No. 117. The expert from France called for a holistic approach to this issue. The experts from ETRTO and OICA expressed doubts about the representativeness of the tyre sample used in the Dutch study. The expert from ETRTO also delivered comments on the proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 117 (GRB-62-17). Finally, GRB invited all experts to further study the Dutch proposal and decided to revert to this issue at the next session.

12. The expert from the Netherlands recalled their earlier study on tyre performance (GRB-62-11 and Add.1) and presented the outcome of a new study on this subject. In addition to tyre noise, the new study addressed rolling resistance and wet grip for tyres sold in 2013-2016 in the Netherlands. According to the expert, the results had demonstrated a consistent trend for better performance in all aspects and tyre classes. Therefore, he proposed to tighten the limit values in the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 117 (GRB-62-11-Rev.1 and Add.1).
13. The expert from ETRTO made a reservation about the sampling of tyres in the Dutch study and drew the attention of GRB to the fact that the limit values in the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 117 had been introduced only in 2012 and that the transitional periods to comply with these limits were still ongoing. The expert from the Russian Federation argued in favour of setting new target values well in advance, in order to give the industry sufficient time to prepare for their introduction. The experts from Germany and OICA recalled the past experience in noise Regulations and pointed out that only tightening the tyre noise limits would not necessarily improve the real situation on the streets. The Chair shared their views and called for a more holistic approach prior to taking a decision.
14. GRB noted that the same proposals had been raised by the Netherlands at the EU level and that internal EU discussions were under way. GRB was of the view that the Working Party on Braking and Running Gear (GRRF), which also deals with Regulation No. 117, should be informed about the Dutch proposals. The expert from the Netherlands expressed his willingness to present the issue to GRRF. Finally, GRB agreed to revert to this subject at one of its future session, based on GRRF and EU deliberations.

The experts from Germany and OICA recalled the past experience in noise Regulations and pointed out that only tightening the tyre noise limits would not necessarily improve the real situation on the streets. The Chair shared their views and called for a more holistic approach prior to taking a decision.
14. GRB noted that the same proposals had been raised by the Netherlands at the EU level and that internal EU discussions were under way. GRB was of the view that the Working Party on Braking and Running Gear (GRRF), which also deals with Regulation No. 117, should be informed about the Dutch proposals. The expert from the Netherlands expressed his willingness to present the issue to GRRF. Finally, GRB agreed to revert to this subject at one of its future session, based on GRRF and EU deliberations.

17. The expert from the Netherlands presented a policy indicator for road traffic noise emissions (GRB-62-14 and Add.1) that determines the effect of noise control at source on average noise levels at the dwelling facade and on estimated numbers of annoyed and sleep disturbed people. According to the expert, the indicator had been calculated for the Netherlands, showing a potential reduction of up to 50 per cent in annoyed and sleep disturbed people, if tighter limits for vehicles and tyres were introduced and road surfaces were improved. He also suggested that the policy indicator be applied for the whole EU. The experts from ETRTO and OICA commented on the proposed concept. The Chair proposed to continue the discussion in the future, taking into account comments from the industry.

21. The expert from WBU called for shared responsibility of drivers and vulnerable road users for road safety and requested that the Audible Vehicle Alert System (AVAS) of QRTV be “ON” while the vehicle is stationary and that the driver should not be able to deactivate (or pause) AVAS (GRB-62-03). He also referred to a study (GRB-62-16) suggesting that the proposed AVAS level of sound did not seem to make QRTV with AVAS more detectable to the average blind person than was QRTV without AVAS. According to the study, more research would be needed to determine a minimal noise level that would satisfy the desire to reduce noise emissions while remaining safe for pedestrians.

12. The expert from the Netherlands presented a study (GRB-62-09 and Add.1) on noise emission from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) tyres of a specific size which were found to be around 1 dB(A) lower than the one from replacement tyres of the same size. The expert, thus, proposed to further reduce the limit values for OEM tyres in the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 117 (GRB-62-11 and Add.1).
13. The expert from Switzerland expressed his support for the general direction of the Dutch proposal. The experts from Germany and EC were of the view that, at this stage, it would be premature to tighten the tyre noise limits of Regulation No. 117. The expert from France called for a holistic approach to this issue. The experts from ETRTO and OICA expressed doubts about the representativeness of the tyre sample used in the Dutch study. The expert from ETRTO also delivered comments on the proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 117 (GRB-62-17). Finally, GRB invited all experts to further study the Dutch proposal and decided to revert to this issue at the next session.

The expert from IMMA proposed to amend paragraph 8.2. of Regulation No. 41 on the conformity of production (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRB/2015/8), thus formalizing the interpretation agreed upon at the fifty-sixth session of GRB (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRB/54, para. 5). GRB adopted this proposal and requested the secretariat to submit it to the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) and the Administrative Committee (AC.1) for consideration and vote at their March 2016 sessions as a draft Supplement 4 to the 04 series of amendments to Regulation No. 41.

In response to concerns that approval agencies may not grant manufacturers the additional 1dB for L(wot) on conformity of production tests as changes had been made to Annex 6 of R41-04, GRB issued an interpretation recorded in the report of its 56th session. The proposal formalizes the interpretation as an explicit provision of the regulation.

20. The experts from France and Germany, in their capacity of Co-chairs of the Informal Working Group (IWG) on a Quiet Road Transport Vehicles (QRTV) Regulation under 1958 Agreement, presented a draft QRTV Regulation (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRB/2015/9 and GRB-62-22).
22. GRB recalled that AVAS provisions had been recently adopted in the European Union and were scheduled to be announced in the United States of America in November 2015. Therefore, GRB stressed the urgent need for a QRTV Regulation and decided to adopt ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRB/2015/9, subject to minor editorial corrections. The secretariat was requested to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their March 2016 sessions. At the same time, GRB was of the view that the concerns raised by WBU should be studied further, also bearing in mind recent technologies that improve road safety. To address these issues, GRB agreed that the mandates of both IWG QRTV for a Regulation and IWG QRTV for a GTR should be extended and requested the Chair to seek the WP.29 consent.
