This proposal was prepared by the experts from the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) in order to incorporate the content of Regulation (EU) 566/2011 into UN Regulation No. 83.06.

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.

Presentation arguing for a “basic rule” to ensure a consistent framework for engine retrofit regulations.

Proposal to align the 06 series of amendments to UN R83 with the full EU requirements for “social needs” vehicles. In the 06 series of amendments, emission compliance for social needs vehicles is based on M limits only, while in the EU, these vehicles can comply with N1 class 3 limits.

The purpose of this proposal is to modify the content of document GRPE/2013/11 (proposal for the 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83 by the European Commission) in order to avoid misinterpretation for practical application and implementation of the regulation.

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.

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.

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 clarifications to the European Commission proposal (document GRPE/2104/2) to align the requirements of Regulation No. 83 with those of European Union Regulation (EC) Nos. 715/2007, 692/2008, 566/2011, 459/2012 and 630/2012.

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.

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

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

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

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

The purpose of this proposal is to amend the document GRPE/2015/2 in order to clarify the validity of 06 series of amendment, avoid discrepancies related to the date of entry into force of 07 series of amendment and better clarify the wording of transitional provisions and align them with the General Guidelines for UN Regulatory Procedures and Transitional Provisions in UN Regulations.

Proposal to clarify that no more than four malfunction-indicator failures shall be simulated for type approval.

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.

The subject documents would permit Contracting Parties applying UN R83 and/or UN R101 and which have transposed GTR No. 15 (WLTP) into their local legislation to refuse to accept type approvals granted under the UN R83 and/or UN R101 as a compliance alternative to their national/regional legislation (i.e., aligned with GTR No. 15). OICA proposes to clarify the intent by deleting allusions to the measure as a form of derogation, to replace the phrase “may no longer accept” with “may refuse”, and to introduce a sunset clause to noting that the measure is intended as a stop-gap until such time as GTR No. 15 has been transposed into the corpus of UN Regulations.

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 procedures and requirements related to the selection of driving modes for testing of OVC-HEV vehicles with a mode selection switch.

OICA request for clarification over whether the test results should reflect the energy (fuel and electric energy) used for vehicle propulsion or the energy used for vehicle propulsion and for energy conversion (recharging the battery – fuel energy to electric energy).

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.

Presentation proposing to amend obsolete footnotes regarding the particulate number emissions limits applicable depending upon the reference fuel selected for the test procedure.

OICA changes to its 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 for amendments to the draft supplements to the 06 and 07 series of amendments to:

1. correct errors in Working Paper 2019.08,
2. expand 2019.08 to clarify the special provisions, and
3. resolve a current contradiction of requirements concerning the provision of SCR reagent consumption data via the serial port of the standard diagnostic connector.

Proposal for amendments to the draft supplements to the 06 and 07 series of amendments to:

1. correct errors in Working Paper 2019.08,
2. expand 2019.08 to clarify the special provisions, and
3. resolve a current contradiction of requirements concerning the provision of SCR reagent consumption data via the serial port of the standard diagnostic connector.

OICA request for clarification on the interpretation of Supplement 6 to the 07 series of amendments to UN R83 which enables the use of compliance assessments of vehicles with a reference mass less than 2,610 kg for the purposes of extending the type approval to special purpose vehicles (including armoured ones) having a reference mass exceeding 2,840 kg.

Proposal to clarify “permanent default” and “limp-home mode” in UN R83.

Proposal to amend current definitions to allow fault code erasing in cold regions (< -7°C) and high altitude (> 2440m), harmonizing the definitions with those used in China and the United States.

Proposal to allow for the use of use special denominator conditions for certain components or systems. The current definitions of the specific denominators are based on engine/aftertreatment system combinations designed as one TWC for gasoline vehicles and DOC, DPF and SCR respectively NSC for diesel engines. Upcoming emission requirements will bring up additional aftertreatment components like Gasoline Particulate Filters (GPF) or new designs with more than one SCR catalyst. Such new systems or catalyst combinations might require specific conditions to enable the monitoring, especially when their purpose is designed for such conditions.

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.

Revised 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.

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

Proposal to delete two environmental conditions (ambient temperature < -7°C and high altitude > 2440m) in the alternative hybrid electric vehicle cycle for erasing fault codes.

Proposal to introduce provisions to avoid the burden of a new road load determination (e.g., NEDC) in cases where the road load has already been performed under GTR 15 (WLTP).

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 addressing the conversion of NEDC road load to WLTP road load in cases where the former has already been determined.

Proposal to clarify that the E10 reference fuel may still be used at the worst case for the Type IV test.

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

• the option to test a four-wheel vehicle without being forced to use an artificially created two-wheel drive
mode.

Definition and exemptions for special purpose vehicles are necessary. Possible amendments have been shown for
• New definitions in R.E.3 and
• Requirementemissiontothegreatestextent,
• ExemptionsfordriverinducementsystemandCOP/in-serviceconformity.

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 Regulation No. 83 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.

Proposal to permit use of equipment conforming to UN R154 for testing under UN R83 (and by extension to UN R101 which references UN R83).

Annex 4A-Type 1 tests include references to daytime running lamps and 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.

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.

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.

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 for changes to the draft amendments to the 05, 06, and 07 series per the following justifications:

1. In GRPE-86-12, the introduction of SAE J 1979-2 was proposed for Series 05, 06 and 07 of Regulation No. 83. Due to the different structure of Series 05 and 06 compared to 07, this proposal was not adopted. This proposal introduces the new standard to Series 05 and 06 and aligns the standards with Series 07.
2. The standards used for transmission of OBD information are maintained by international standardisation bodies (ISO, SAE). These standardisation body have to be informed.
3. 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.
4. Align Paragraph 6.5.1.3. with GTR No. 15 to avoid ambiguity.

Proposal to extend to the 05 series of amendments the option from the 06 and 07 series to use the calculation of road load values determined according to UN GTR 15 (WLTP).

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 introduce corrections and clarifications for the 08 series of amendments.

Proposes some amendments to working document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2024/8 introducing change stop footnotes to Table A3/1 and makes changes to the transition provisions

Proposal to align with UN R154

Proposal to amend the scope to allow type approval of vehicles that previously where only within the scope as an extension based on their reference mass.

Proposal to update requirements for dynamometer preparation before a Type 6 test by aligning UN R83 with the relevant text of Annex 13 of GTR 15.

Proposal to allow the type approval of vehicles that previously were only within the scope as an extension based on their reference mass.

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 amend UN R83 by deleting Annex 1, paragraph 3.4.3. and renumbering paragraphs 3.4.3.1., 3.4.3.1.1., 3.4.3.1.2. and 3.4.3.1.3. to read 3.4.3., 3.4.3.1., 3.4.3.2. and 3.4.3.3., and deleting Annex 2, paragraph 1.9.2. The concept of “Operating Mode Switch” has been removed from the Regulation and these two paragraphs were omitted from this removal and should be deleted from both the manufacturer’s information document and the addendum to the approval certificate.

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 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.

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.
