Correction to ISO reference since Byte 3-4 of EBS 11 is only referenced in Part 2 of ISO 11992 and therefore the text should make explicit that reference along with amendment 1:2007. Also proposes to omit several redundant footnotes and references.

Proposal to introduce type approval provisions for “valve control at stop-start”. The proposal would let the tank valves stay open in a commanded stop-start phase as is the case for the idling phase of vehicles not equipped with start-stop systems. These provisions are similar to those proposed for UN Regulation No. 67

Proposal to introduce type-approval provisions for “valve control at stop-start” into the regulation on LPG equipment. The proposal would allow tank valves stay open in a commanded stop-start phase as it is the case for the idling phase of non-stop-start vehicles. These provisions are similar to those for UN R110 on CNG vehicles.

Proposal to introduce type-approval provisions for fuel selection systems into the regulation on compressed natural gas-powered vehicles.

Proposal to introduce a new Class F marking designed with chevron-type pattern to be applied to special utility vehicles or trailers not normally covered by standard contour marking materials in order to harmonize national requirements making use of such markings.

Combined GTB and CLEPA proposal, superseding documents GRE/2011/46 and GRE/2012/25, to update UN R27 in line with technological progress and performance-based methodologies. The main changes are:

a) Revised provisions to combine color boundaries for the night time color,

c) Alternative methods introduced for instrumental measurement of the fluorescent color,
d) New Annex 10 to replace reference to ISO 105,
e) Clarification of the wind test (Annex 5),
f) Standardization of the test surface representing the road,
g) Simplification of the test device for clearance to the ground in Annex 3,
h) Amendment of COP requirements, and
i) 36-month transitional period in a new paragraph 14.

Proposal pursuant to GRB discussions (55th session, para. 12) and document GRB/2013/8 to insert the amendments concerning the ASEP provisions as soon as Regulation No. 51 has been accordingly amended (in line with the draft proposal (Reference 2011/XXXX (COD)) of the European Commission “Proposal of the European Parliament and of the Council on the sound level of motor vehicles and of their exhaust systems”).
