Proposal to allow, at the manufacturer’s request, extension of a type approval to special purpose vehicles of categories M1, M2, N1 and N2 regardless of their reference mass provided the manufacturer demonstrates that the vehicle in question is a special purpose vehicle. This aligns UN R83 with EU Directive 2007/46/EC where approvals of vehicles with a reference mass less than 2,610 kg can be extended to special purpose vehicles exceeding 2,840 kg (e.g., armored vehicles).

UN R83 | Revision 4 | Amendment 4 (2015)
3 Feb 2015 2016-07-13 11:01:44 UTC 4 4 06 series of amendments | Supplement 4 Based upon the adopted proposal: WP.29/2014/40

Proposal to align the regulation with the full requirements for vehicles that meet “special social needs” under the regulatory framework of the European Union. In response to the extension of the scope of Euro VI legislation down to 2380 kg vehicles, this proposal would also add an exemption to take into account overlap between UN R83 and UN R101 with regard to light-duty vehicle CO2 emissions and fuel/energy consumption. This proposal was adopted by the Working Party on Pollution and Energy (GRPE) at its 68th session based on document GRPE/2014/3, as amended by para. 25. of the session report and document GRPE/2014/7, not amended.

UN R83 | Revision 4 | Amendment 5 (2016)
5 Feb 2016 2016-02-10 13:11:41 UTC 4 5 06 series of amendments | Supplement 5 Based upon the adopted proposal: WP.29/2015/56

Proposal to update the on-board diagnostics (OBD) requirements of UN R83 in line with technical progress and to update the reference fuels in the 06 series of amendments in line with changes introduced in the 07 series of amendments to UN R83.

UN R83 | Revision 4 | Amendment 6 (2016)
11 Jul 2016 2016-07-13 10:58:25 UTC 4 6 06 series of amendments | Supplement 6 Based upon the adopted proposal: WP.29/2015/101

Proposal to correct the unit of the road load coefficient b used in the formula for the calculation of the resistance to progress force.

UN R83 | Revision 4 | Amendment 7 (2017)
22 Feb 2017 2017-05-31 16:34:54 UTC 4 7 06 series of amendments | Supplement 7 Based upon the adopted proposal: WP.29/2016/42

Proposal to correct the calculation of the coast-down resistance to progress force.

UN R83 | Revision 4 | Amendment 8 (2017)
26 Jul 2017 2017-09-08 11:49:41 UTC 4 8 06 series of amendments | Supplement 8 Based upon the adopted proposal: WP.29/2016/108

UN Regulations Nos. 49 and 83 include provisions for a “driver inducement system” that alerts drivers of low reagent levels (urea, etc.) critical to correct emissions control performance and eventually prevents vehicle operation if the reagent tank is empty. Under UN R49 (para. 5.2), rescue, police, and other emergency/special use vehicles are exempted from this requirement. This proposal would extend the same treatment under UN R83. The proposal also makes several corrections and clarifications (see document GRPE/2016/11) with respect to extensions of approval, reduction in efficiency of the catalytic converter with respect to emissions of NMHC and NOx, and OBD.

UN R83 | Revision 4 | Amendment 9 (2017)
7 Dec 2017 2017-12-17 16:17:45 UTC 4 9 06 series of amendments | Supplement 9 Based upon the adopted proposal: WP.29/2017/42

Proposal, subject to endorsement by the GRPE during its January 2017 session, to permit Contracting Parties applying UN R83 and GTR No. 15 (WLTP) to refuse type approvals granted under UN R83 as an alternative to compliance with their national/regional legislation from the date of entry into force of Supplement 9 to the 06 series of amendments to UN R83.

Proposal from the GRPE secretariat to correct omissions found in document WP.29/2018/148 (proposal for Supplement 8 to the 07 series of amendments) as adopted by WP.29. The proposal formulated as a Corrigendum was adopted in principle as document WP.29/2019/60 during the June 2019 session but is resubmitted here as a Supplement for administrative reasons.

Proposal to allow, at the manufacturer’s request, extension of a type approval to special purpose vehicles of categories M1, M2, N1 and N2 regardless of their reference mass provided the manufacturer demonstrates that the vehicle in question is a special purpose vehicle. This aligns UN R83 with EU Directive 2007/46/EC where approvals of vehicles with a reference mass less than 2,610 kg can be extended to special purpose vehicles exceeding 2,840 kg (e.g., armored vehicles).
