24. Recalling the purpose of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/66, the Chair of GRRF stressed that WP.29 was expecting GRRF to conclude its deliberation about the wet grip limit values. The GRRF experts introduced their positions (GRRF-76-05, GRRF-76-07, GRRF-76-08, GRRF-76-11, GRRF-76-12, GRRF-76-26, GRRF-76-27, GRRF-76-28). The expert from the EC reported on the concerns expressed by the Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport of the European Commission (DG Move). GRRF confirmed the limit values proposed in para. 6.2.2. for Tyres of C2 category and agreed to amend the proposed limit values in para. 6.2.3. for Tyres of C3 category in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/66. GRRF requested the secretariat to submit this amendment as reproduced in WP.29-162-05 to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their March 2014 session.
24bis. The expert from the Russian Federation presented GRB-59-02 proposing a tyre rolling resistance test results evaluation using a mathematical algorithm, to be added as an alternative to the existing one in the text of the Regulation. He also presented the results of a validation study of the proposed algorithm for tyres of the C1 category performed in France, in cooperation with the Russian Federation (GRB-59-07 and GRB-59-08). GRRF noted that this proposal may be submitted by GRB to WP.29 as a supplement to UN Regulation No. 117. GRRF recommended further steps for a better understanding of the proposed method’s sensitivity, suggesting: (i) extending the validation study for tyres of categories C2 and C3 and (ii) verifying the application of the proposed alternative in the conditions of the conformity of production. The GRRF Chair invited the experts to provide their comments on the proposal to the GRB secretariat with a copy to the expert from the Russian Federation.

Pursuant to discussions on setting uniform wet-grip requirements for C3 snow tires, Japan affirms that its national data supports a minimum wet-grip value of 0.65 (as proposed in document WP.29/2013/66: Proposal for Supplement 5 to the 02 series of amendments).

European Commission proposal for minimum wet grip limits on Class C3 tyres. The EC notes that the wet grip (G) index is intended as a precautionary measure that would set a minimum level already satisfied by products currently on the market. In anticipation of improvements in new tires, the EC proposes to add a notation “Wet grip index (G) ≥ 0.80 may be considered for new types of tyres 96 months after the entry into force date of Supplement 5 to the 02 series of amendments, based on robust field data and cost-effectiveness analysis.”

Proposal to elaborate on the concept of tyre deceleration (dω/dt) in the test procedures. The Russian Federation has developed a “Deceleration Calculator” for use in the UN R117 procedures. Following work by an ad hoc group (including NAMI, UTAC, and ETRTO) formed to review and validate this tool, Russia has prepared this new proposal, modifying the version (document GRB/2013/10) submitted at the last GRB session. The changes primarily concern the explanation of the tool rather than the basic mathematical equations.
