Proposal to amend ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRBP/2021/23

IWG to propose amendments to UN R117

Presentation on proposed amendments to align with the latest amendments made on UN Reg 41 and to reduce the number and amount of different exhaust types to be approved by NORESS manufacturers

IWG WGWT proposes to amend document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRBP/2021/12

TFVS analyses of the feasibility of further limit value reductions and their effectiveness in real traffic conditions.

Proposal to maintain the performance stages for the following reasons:

• By removing the performance stages, we would allow two different markings, with and without performance stage indication, for the same actual performance level depending on whether the type approval was granted according the 02 or 03 series of amendments.
• Some countries which are not contracting parties of 1958 Agreement refer to stage 1 and stage 2 of 02 series of amendments of UN Regulation No. 117. Therefore, the removal of the stages would create some ambiguity and misunderstanding of the actual performance of the product.
• The above is even more important for tyre of classes C2 and C3 as they are not affected by the introduction of the performance for the adhesion on wet surfaces for tyres in worn state, and for which the suffix B is not added to the approval marking.

1. In paragraph 5.3.1.2. the wording has been adjusted to the definitions as amended with GRBP/2021/12 proposal to identify adhesion on wet surfaces of tyre in new state.
2. Paragraph renumbered and reworded in line with the text proposed in paragraph 8.3.1. of document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2021/17.
3. Paragraph 12.2. has been reworded according to the intentions of paragraph 41. of the General Guidelines for United Nations regulatory procedures and transitional provisions in UN Regulations to avoid TAA’s to interpret a mere change in markings as a change introduced by the new SoA.
4. Paragraph 12.6.1. is in line with paragraph V.9bis. of the General Guidelines for United Nations regulatory procedures and transitional provisions in UN Regulations. Proposed paragraph 12.4.1., is introducing date limitations and precise reference to a specific series of amendments and in such does not conform to V.9 bis transitional provisions. Consequently, it should then be deleted from the proposal.
5. In Annex 1, paragraphs 8.2. and 8.3., the reference to non-existent items was removed.
6. In Annex 2 – Appendix 1, Example 1, the wording has been aligned to the other examples provided in Annex 2.
7. In Annex 9, paragraphs 2.1.5 to 2.2.1.2.4.1. have been reworded to clarify the preparation of class C1 tyres in worn state.
8. In Annex 9 – Appendix 1, the example of worn tyre preparation report example has been updated to remove unnecessary and ambiguous data to be reported.
9. In Annex 9, Appendix 2, Example 2, the report example has been updated in line with the proposal of Annex 5, Appendix, Example 2 of document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRBP/2021/17.

Introduces Real Driving Additional Sound Emission Provisions (RD-ASEP) for vehicles of categories M1 and N1 covering driving conditions outside of normal driving with higher accelerations and vehicle speeds up to 100 km/h

IWG on Measurement Uncertainties identified the temperature behaviour of tyre rolling sound component as a contributor to the measurement uncertainty of pass-by noise tests. Since in UN Reg. No.117 a temperature correction of tyre rolling sound is already established the group investigated an adoption of the existing calculation procedure. Due to the different testing conditions in UN Reg. No.117, new scientific investigations and industry data in pass-by testing the group worked out a temperature correction, which is adopted to the requirements of UN Reg. No.51.

This revised document intended to present to amend 117 the timetable for the work related to Regulation No. 117 has been shifted with approximately 12 months for this part.
The aim of the IWG is to propose harmonized measures for evaluating systematic errors and random errors to improve the test procedures to reduce measurement uncertainties

The purpose is to ensure that the target test speed is either 10 km/h, or 20 km/h, in forward motion, or 6 km/h in reverse motion and that the tolerances given by the regulation are linked to the testing and not used for more favorable testing speed.

Proposal to add requirement on the monitoring of the machine deviation for rolling resistance measurement.

Sets the Objective and Rules of Procedure for the Task Force

Proposal by expert from Switzerland to limit the maximum sound level of an “AVAS” and reduce superfluous noise pollution.
