GRB/2016/1 | Annotated provisional agenda for the 63rd GRB session

GRB-63-06/Rev.1 | General information and WP.29 highlights for the 63rd GRB session

GRB-63-01 | Proposal for Supplement 5 to Regulation No. 28 Further refined version of the proposal (incorporating comments received during the 62nd GRB session) in document GRB/2016/2 intended to update and clarify the regulation. The proposal refines definitions, removes the “AWD” abbeviation for “audible warning device” to avoid confusion with its more common use for “all wheel drive”, adds T category agricultural vehicles to the scope, modifies some administrative communications, and proposes three-direction acoustic measurements. The proposal also aims to structure the regulation to enable its application to additional sound warning devices not presently regulated at the international level, excluding acoustic vehicle alerting systems (AVAS) which will be subject to a separate regulation on minimum vehicle sound levels.

GRB-63-04 | Proposal for correction to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRB/2016/2 This proposal was made after consultations with OICA in order to provide for consistency in terminology used and to match the drawing in Annex 4 with the modified provisions. The added word “warning“ is underlined.

GRB-63-16 | Information and comments on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRB/2016/2 Comments on the draft Supplement 5 to UN R28.

GRB-63-15 | Proposal for amendments to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRB/2016/2 Proposals to modify the draft Supplement 5 to UN R28: On new para. 14.3.6.: editorial clarification. (The purpose of fixing the height should be restricted for taking measurement in a particular test.) On para. 6.2.1.1. and para. 6.2.1.3.: Since sound level meters on the market don’t meet the latest standard yet, IMMA proposes to use same IEC standard as in ECE R51.03: IEC 61672-1:2002.

GRB-63-10 | Proposal for amendments to the 04 series of amendments to Regulation No. 41 Proposal to clarify the test procedure by explicitly excluding first gear where possible from the ASEP control range.

WP.29/2015/62 | Proposals for the 03 series of amendments to Regulation No. 51 This proposal further refines and clarifies the 03 series of amendments to UN R51 from Informal Working Group on UN Regulations Nos. 51 and 59. The 03 series was proposed in document GRB/2014/5 which was amended and then adopted by the Working Party on Noise during its 60th session. The proposal includes special provisional limits for Chinese micro-vehicles which are being reviewed by Japan.

WP.29/2016/4 | Proposal for Supplement 1 to the 03 series of amendments to Regulation No. 51 Proposal to clarify the wording of the 03 series of amendments to UN R51 as adopted by the World Forum in June 2015 (document WP.29/2015/62). The adopted wording could lead to the interpretation that sound levels measured on the left side of the vehicle are to be averaged with levels measured on the right side of the vehicle. The proposed new wording clarifies that the overall sound emission is assessed individually per vehicle side.

GRB-62-08/Rev.2 | GRB subjects for the future Overview of discussions for the future development of vehicle noise regulations prepared by the GRB secretariat.

The proposal would also change the measurement units for drum speed from min^-1 to km.h^-1 in alignment with the requirements with other tyre regulations and align the wording in Annex 7, Appendix 1 with the text of the Regulation.

GRRF/2016/14 | Proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 117 Proposal to: a) Align definitions and content with the other tyre regulations (UN Regulations Nos. 30, 54, 75 etc.); b) Include a definition of “manufacturer” extracted from the resolution “R.E.3”; c) Adopt a common definition and use of the terms “Manufacturer’s name”, “Brand name”, “Trademark”, “Trade description” and “Commercial name” and their links; and d) Add information in the certificate to enable approval authorities to more easily understand the products the certificate addresses.
