Proposal identifies 2 concerns:
“Coasting“ – Coasting is defined in GTR 15 and UNR 154 and must be deactivated for testing, may raise concerns for the approval of many hybrid vehicles and for conventional vehicles with modern start stop systems.
“Single roller dynamometer in 4WD operation“ – This combination is forbidden by GTR 15 and UNR 154 for the Type 1
test. There appears to be no reason for this ban (restraint systems must meet requirements for all configurations) other than an assumption that the configuration is not used for type 1 testing

Proposal by the expert from OICA to clarify concerns about terms "coasting"and “Twin roller dynamometers in 4WD operation”

This document aims to:
• harmonize the KCO2 family concept from UN GTR15 Amendment 6 with this Regulation.
• harmonize the correction of CO2 results against target speed in Level 1A with Level 1B and the most stringent
Level 2.
• delete correction criterion c as it is no longer needed.
• propose a clarification and specification in the ATCT family criteria.

This document aims to clarify OBD monitoring requirements for combustion-ignition engines with regard to Level 1A and Level 1B. The modifications to the current text of the Regulation are marked in bold for new or strikethrough for deleted characters.

Aims to improve the clarity of the requirements regarding inclusion of vehicles in a road load family on the basis of the n/v ratios.

The proposed amendments are also available in a consolidated text with tracked changes in pdf format and in docx format.

Proposal to correct the recursive formula in the procedure for verifying the conformity of production requirements if the production standard deviation given by the manufacturer is either not satisfactory or not available.

Annex B6 procedures include references to rear position and other lamps. In line with UN R48 and its 08 series of amendments which would permit switching off of rear position and other lamps when ambient light conditions are above 7,000 lux to avoid unnecessary fuel consumption, this proposal would permit ambient lighting during dynamometer operation above this threshold.

Presentation on how to harmonize the requirements of the 06 and 07 series of amendments to UN R83, the 01 series of amendments to UN R101 and the original, 01, 02 and 03 series of amendments to UN R154 respectively, and to ensure consistent type-approval test conditions with the introduction of the 08 series of amendments to UN R48.

Informal document GRPE-81-29 rev 1 was submitted to GRPE in June 2020 to clarify some elements surrounding the introduction of UN Regulation No. 154. This paper is updated here to add an additional clarification of the introductory provisions in the newly adopted 02 series of amendments. This document with tracked changes in word format and pdf version is also available.

Proposal to harmonize the requirements of the 00, 01, 02 and 03 series of amendments to UN R154 based on the following justifications:

1. Correction of a wrong reference. In Paragraph 3. the functional requirements for the OBD system are included. Paragraph 4. describes the requirements relating to type-approval including the provisions for deficiencies.
2. For Series 02 and 03, SAE J 1979-2 was allowed as a standard for the transmission of OBD relevant information. ISO 14229 was removed from the list of allowed standard. This proposal aligns series 00 and 01 with series 02 and 03.
3. The standards used for transmission of OBD information are maintained by international standardisation bodies (ISO, SAE). The standardisation body maintaining the affected standard has to be informed.
4. Alignment of wording between the first sentence of paragraph 3.2.1.2. (“ambient or engine temperatures”) and the second sentence, where “or engine” was missing to avoid misunderstanding and ambiguity. Engine temperature is sometimes used as a substitute for ambient temperature. In this case, the engine temperature is evaluated once after a longer engine shut off phase. Only in this case an approval is necessary, as this is the only case, where an OBD monitor is disabled for the complete trip.
5. The OBD requirements for Diesel engines in Paragraph 3.3.4 of Annex C5 are limited to Level 1A. The requirements in paragraphs 6.3. (“Failure modes to be tested”) and 6.4. (“OBD system test”), are not limited to Level 1A. This proposal corrects this.
6. Align Paragraph 6.5.1.3. with GTR No.15 to avoid ambiguity.
7. Alignment with Series 01/03. Those allow the use of alternative preconditioning
   methods for Level 2.

Background: Manufacturers design OBD monitoring conditions and functionalities for market specific driving conditions. Reliable monitors need enable conditions, which run the OBD monitors under circumstances, where failure detection works properly. Those enable conditions are not for all monitors represented by a three-phase WLTC, e.g. some monitors require higher load conditions. For those monitors alternative preconditioning methods are necessary.

Proposal brings clarity in the text relating to alternative procedures for demonstrating Conformity of Production of evaporative emissions control systems and consistency in the rounding of the Deterioration Factors (DFs). It also proposes an amendment to the formatting of a paragraph relating to Speed Trace Tolerances in order to bring clarity.

Review on the possible direction
(1) new series of amendment
(2)single series structure

Calibration of measurement equipment to PN10 measures more particles than calibration to PN23. It is therefore logical that compliance with a limit when measured according to PN10 demonstrates compliance with the same limit according to PN23 but this text should be added for legal certainty.

Proposal to introduce optional calculation method for determining f₀ and f₂ road load coefficients, allow measurement of drivetrain delta on component dynamometer, permit evaluation of split runs to increase data base, and enable test vehicle configuration using interpolation method. The calculation method determines final f₀ and f₂ values considering theoretical delta between coast down vehicle and final vehicle. Component dynamometer measurement increases accuracy because not all combinations of road load relevant components can be assembled, allowing all component combinations to be evaluated independently.
