GRB-65-19 | Reversing alarms Information on back-up accidents in Korea and proposal for scope and content of new requirements for reversing warning alarms.

GRB-65-17 | Additional information on reversing alarms Netherlands proposal in response to the initiative from Germany and Japan to standardize and limit the sound emission from Reversing Alarms (documents 64-05, 64-06, 65-06 and 65-07) to amend the requirements, including the use a “white noise alarm” instead of a “tonal noise alarm”.

GRB-65-11 | Proposal for correction to the 04 series of amendments to Regulation No. 41 Proposal to correct Annex 3, paragraph 1.4.1. of the French version of the regulation to align with the original English text.

GRB-65-18 | Proposal for amendment to Regulation No. 41-04 Proposal to delete category L₄ vehicles from the scope of the regulation. Motorcycles with a side car (L4 category vehicles) should be tested in a state that is designed to be operated on the road (i.e. the side car fitted to the vehicle) using the test procedures of UN Regulation No. 9. Since UN Regulation No. 41.04 does not cover motorcycles with a side car, this text should be deleted in order to avoid any potential misunderstandings.

GRB-65-16/Add.1 | Addendum to the EC presentation on the study on Euro 5 sound level limits of L-category vehicles Additional materials covering task force topics and possible time frame for EC proposal on Euro 5 sound limits.

GRB-65-16/Add.1 | Addendum to the EC presentation on the study on Euro 5 sound level limits of L-category vehicles Additional materials covering task force topics and possible time frame for EC proposal on Euro 5 sound limits.

GRB-65-01 | Proposal for correction to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2015/62 Correction to paragraph 6.2.2. "Sound level limits" to add a reference specifically to paragraph 3.1 of Annex 3 in order to ensure interpretation of the sound limit values as application only "noise in motion" and not to "stationary noise". This aligns the 02 and 03 series texts.

GRB-65-02 | China research on M3 subcategories under UN Regulation No. 51-03 series

GRB-65-10 | Proposal for correction to the 03 series of amendments to Regulation No. 51 Proposal for clarifications, including the applicability of certain provisions, in Annex 3: Methods and instruments for measuring the sound made by motor vehicles.

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-65-04 | Proposal to introduce provisions for indoor testing under UN Regulation No. 51 Proposal including indoor testing as an alternative to type approval tests of Annex 3 to Regulation No. 51 in accordance with ISO 26101:2012 and ISO 362-3.
