Proposal to clarify Annex 3, table A3/1 regarding minimum type-approval requirements for Euro 6e, Euro 6e-bis, and Euro 6e-bis-FCM under UN R83 by specifying the relevant series of amendments for UN R24, R85, and R168, which were omitted when the 08 Series was created as no new amendments were anticipated at the time. A minor editorial correction is also included.

Proposal to correct several outdated references following structural changes to UN R154 (04 series of amendments), including updated appendix numbering in paragraphs 2.47, 2.48, and Annex 5, removal of “worst case certified energy consumption Part B family” from Table 4 reporting requirements, and correction of the vehicle survey reference to reflect its relocation to the 9 Series of amendments to UN R83.

Proposal to delete two paragraphs relating to “Operating Mode Switch” that were overlooked when that concept was removed from Regulation No. 83, from both the manufacturer’s information document (Annex 1) and the approval certificate addendum (Annex 2). The same documentation requirements were removed from the 08 series of amendments (during GREP-93), differing only in paragraph numbering.

Revised submission from the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers proposing to incorporate the content of Regulation (EU) 566/2011 into the 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 83, succeeding informal document GRPE-63-16 and replacing GRPE/2012/11.

Text prepared by OICA to align the regulation with the full requirements for vehicles that meet “special social needs” under the regulatory framework of the European Union.

When the scope of Euro VI legislation in the EU was extended downwards to 2,380 kg, the vehicles which are so approved were not exempted from light duty approvals. As the measurement of CO2 emissions and fuel/energy consumption is covered by UN Regulation No. 101, this proposal would add an exemption clause in UN Regulation No. 83 to take into account this overlap with light-duty vehicle requirements.

Proposal for a series of amendments to update the on-board diagnostics (OBD) requirements in line with technological progress, including changes in ISO standards.

Proposal for a series of amendments to update the on-board diagnostics (OBD) requirements in line with technological progress, including changes in ISO standards.

Text prepared by the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) in order to update the on-board diagnostics (OBD) requirements in line with technological progress. This document includes amendments to the 06 and 07 series of amendments, superseding documents GRPE/2014/8 and GRPE/2014/9 from the January 2014 GRPE session.

OICA proposal to adapt the on-board diagnostics (OBD) requirements of UN R83 in line with technical progress.

OICA proposal to update the on-board diagnostics (OBD) requirements of Regulation No. 83 in line with technological progress.

Proposal to update the reference fuels in the 06 series of amendments to align the series with the reference fuel changes introduced in the 07 series of amendments to UN R83.

Proposal to adapt the 06 and 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83 to Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) warning and inducement systems to current vehicles, emissions requirements and reagent infrastructure. In light of further vehicle weight reduction for CO2 optimization and the resultant vehicle packaging challenges, diesel cars will likely have smaller AdBlue® reagent tanks. For passenger cars, the warning indicator to refill AdBlue® has to be activated at 2,400 km of remaining reagent range which could result in very frequent refills of smaller reagent tanks. This proposal would allow for reagent refill inducement warnings as a percentage of tank capacity. For heavy-duty vehicles, the warning has to be activated at least at a reagent level of 10 per cent of total reagent tank volume. The inducement system has to be activated at least at 2.5 per cent of reagent level.

Proposal to clarify the text with regard to the extension of approvals for category N vehicles in order to avoid a possible misinterpretation that extensions may not be granted to vehicles with a reference mass greater than the mass of the type-approved vehicle.

Proposal to adapt the 06 and 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83 to Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) warning and inducement systems to current vehicles, emissions requirements and reagent infrastructure. In light of further vehicle weight reduction for CO2 optimization and the resultant vehicle packaging challenges, diesel cars will likely have smaller AdBlue® reagent tanks. For passenger cars, the warning indicator to refill AdBlue® has to be activated at 2,400 km of remaining reagent range which could result in very frequent refills of smaller reagent tanks. This proposal would allow for reagent refill inducement warnings as a percentage of tank capacity or as a function of the average driving range with a complete tank of fuel.

Proposal to clarify the fuel tank capacity restriction for mono-fuel gas vehicles. The definition of “mono-fuel gas vehicle” was slightly amended between the 06 and the 07 series of amendments to UN R83. This proposal aims to align the definitions across both series in order to avoid divergent interpretations.
Although the reference to a 15 liters tank has always been understood to refer to the nominal capacity of the tank, the use of the term “nominal capacity” in UN GTR No. 19 in several places other than the definition of “mono-fuel gas vehicle” can lead to other interpretations of the definition. The word “nominal” should therefore be inserted into the definition in both series of amendments.

Proposal to explicitly specify requirements related to the selection of driving modes for testing of Off-Vehicle Charging Hybrid Electric Vehicles (OVC-HEV) with a mode selection switch.

Proposal to allow the usage of WLTP-based Ki and Deterioration Factors (DF) as well as On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) demos under UN R83. The proposal allows the use of the more robust WLTP and eases testing burdens by allowing manufacturers to use WLTP test results for UN R83.

Proposal to modify the Constant Volume Sampling system temperature sensor time response requirement.

Proposal to clarify the relationship between approval levels, reference fuels and PN limits for PI vehicles and to modify the calculation formulae for determination of evaporative emissions in accordance with changes already agreed in UN GTR No. 19.

Proposal to complete the clarification of the basis of the petrol tank capacity restriction for mono fuel gas vehicles and address some administrative issues that have been highlighted during the transposition of WLTP.

Proposal to introduce definitions for the terms “permanent” and “Limp-home routines” and to clarify ‘permanent emission default modes.

Proposal to permit the use of the calibration and maintenance intervals from UN GTR No. 15 for test facilities capable of testing to that UN GTR.

Proposal to extend the option from the 06 and 07 to the 05 series of amendments allowing the calculation of road load values from those determined according to UN GTR No.15 (WLTP).

Proposal to correct an error found in the formulas used for the calculation of a NEDC road load values from those determined according to UN GTR No. 15 (WLTP) and a cross reference in both the 06 and 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 83.

Proposal to correct an editorial error of exhaust after-treatment system monitoring requirement.

Proposal aims at permitting the use of the latest reference fuels for evaporative emissions approval of vehicles

Proposal to introduce provisions specific to special-purpose vehicles.

Proposal to correct the recursive formula of the 05, 06 and 07 series of amendments to UN R83 in the procedure for verifying the conformity of production and to align the approval certificate in 06 and 07 series of amendments with recent changes to regulation UN R24.

Proposal to allow measurement equipment compliant with the technical requirements of UN R154 to be used for testing under UN R83.

Proposal to introduce the possibility to switch OFF rear position lamps and other lamps when ambient light conditions outside the vehicle are above 7,000 lux in order to avoid unnecessary fuel consumption (in alignment with UN R48 wording).

Proposal to integrate exemptions for special purpose vehicles into UN R83.

Proposal to harmonize the requirements of the 06 and 07 series of amendments, align with UN R48 wording to ensure consistent type-approval test conditions with the introduction of the 08 series of amendments (to introduce the possibility to switch OFF rear position lamps and other lamps when ambient light conditions outside the vehicle are above 7,000 lux in order to avoid unnecessary fuel consumption). The aim of the document is to reach consensus to enable adoption of a proposal during the next GRPE session (88th session in June 2023).

Proposal to add engine capacity to the information document and to make editorial corrections.

Proposal for a new series to align with Euro 7 requirements, including provisions on manipulation devices and manipulation strategies, anti-tampering, security and cyber security, and extended lifetime and In-Service Conformity requirements for in-vehicle battery durability. The Type 2 test has been removed from this new series. An informal document amending this proposal is under development.

Proposal to remove the provisions relating to manipulation devices and manipulation strategies that are being moved to UN R154 and clarify that in-service conformity checks for electric range of pure electric vehicles at low temperatures are optional.

Proposal to introduce in-service conformity requirements for system power.

Proposal to amend the scope to allow type approval of vehicles of categories M₁, M₂, N₁ and N₂ with a reference mass not exceeding 2,840 kg at the manufacturer’s request as an extension from vehicles with reference mass not exceeding 2,610 kg, and to allow type approval of special purpose vehicles of categories M₁, M₂, N₁ and N₂ regardless of their reference mass at the manufacturer’s request, with the manufacturer demonstrating to the Type Approval Authority that the vehicle in question is a special purpose vehicle.
