Revised submission (succeeding informal document GRPE-63-08 and replacing GRPE/2012/8) from OICA to add transitional provisions to the 01 series of amendments to UN R101, to solve a discrepancy between the 06 series of amendments to UN R83 and the 01 series of amendments to UN R101.

Corrections to paragraph cross-references within GTR No.4 which were identified during transposition of the GTR into UN Regulation 49.

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.

Submission from the European Commission and OICA to amend the provisions of UN GTR No. 5 to clarify concerns identified during the preparation of legislation implementing the Euro VI emission levels (i.e. Regulation (EC) 595/2009), including a revision of the disablement conditions proposed in 2011.

This document proposes amending GTR No. 5 to clarify a number of concerns identified by the EC during the preparation of legislation implementing the Euro VI emission levels (i.e. Regulation (EC) 595/2009) and includes a revision of the disablement conditions proposed in 2011 for OBD systems.

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.

As the Euro VI standards for heavy duty vehicles become mandatory throughout the European Union, manufacturers may adapt their certification processes to take account of the extended scope of Euro VI compared to Euro V. In order to prevent inconsistencies that could affect the ability to offer all vehicles for export, it is proposed to carry back this scope amendment retrospectively to the 05 series of amendments.

Since Euro VI will be fully implemented in the EU from 31 December 2013, this amendment has no effect on EU Approvals or equivalences.

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.

Proposal from the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) to adapt certain requirements to the current state of technology and to transpose the latest decisions of the European Union (EU) regarding on-board diagnosis (OBD) threshold limits.

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.

The purpose of this proposal is to include the necessary transitional provisions to Supplement 4 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 101, in order to ensure consistency between the reference fuels prescribed in Regulation No. 83 (Emissions of M1 and N1 vehicles) and those prescribed in this Regulation.

The objective of this document is to provide recommendations for the minimum quality of market fuels (i.e. gasoline and diesel) that should be introduced concurrently with the corresponding emissions standards. They complement the motor vehicle and NRMM pollutant emission standards that a country or a region may be considering to introduce.

Proposal to avoid a redundant correction of the measured engine power of supercharged and turbocharged engines fitted with a self-correcting system for ambient conditions such as temperature and altitude. The current correction factor may yield inaccurate results for such configurations.

Proposal to align the requirements related to measurement equipment linearity verification in Regulation No. 49 to the provisions in Regulation No. 96.

Proposal to adapt the requirements related to fuel injection malfunction monitoring (On-Board Diagnostic systems) to the current state of technology.

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.
