Amendments to the proposal to amend the snow test method for C3 tyres in order to prescribe the wider of the possible speed ranges. Corrects wording to replace “blocking differential” with “differential lock” and mandatory use of differential lock in certain cases.

Response to the proposal to update references to the permissible test tracks (document GRB/2013/2), arguing that the change from ISO 10844:1994 to ISO 10844:2011 is unnecessary since it does not change the test method to measure the tyre rolling noise.

Amendments to the proposal to amend the snow test method for C3 tyres in order to prescribe the wider of the possible speed ranges. Corrects wording to replace “blocking differential” with “differential lock” and mandatory use of differential lock in certain cases.

Text prepared by the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) in order to introduce the concept of “revision of approvals” in the regulations under GRB responsibility.

Presentation on the development of tire rolling resistance standards by the GRRF and GRB.

Editorial corrections to the proposal prepared by the European Commission (EC), France and European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation (ETRTO) to introduce wet grip provisions and testing procedures for tyres of categories C2 and C3.

Relation between L&R slip ratio difference and ACC without TCS and Differential Lock and Comparison between Traction Control System “ON” and “OFF”.

Based upon a proposal from the ETRTO and the UK, this text was adopted by the Working Party on Noise (GRB) at its 57th session to update noise test-track requirements from ISO 19844:1994 to ISO 10844:2011 and incorporate transitional provisions to allow repaving of existing, non-compliant test tracks with the ISO 10844:2011 standards.

Text as adopted by the Working Party on Brakes and Running Gear (GRRF) at its 75th session based upon a proposal by the European Commission, France and ETRTO to introduce wet grip provisions and testing procedures for tyres of categories C2 and C3.

Text as adopted by the Working Party on Brakes and Running Gear (GRRF) at its 74th session based upon a European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation (ETRTO) proposal to amend the snow test method for C3 tyres in order to prescribe the wider of the possible speed ranges (document GRRF/2012/19). Please note that this proposal was adopted at the November 2013 (161st) WP.29 session as Supplement 5, having originally been proposed as Supplement 4 during the June session.

Clarification submitted by the GRB chair of the transition provisions in the proposal to update noise test-track requirements from ISO 19844:1994 to ISO 10844:2011 and incorporate transitional provisions to allow repaving of existing, non-compliant test tracks with the ISO 10844:2011 standards.

Text prepared by the Russian Federation to elaborate on the concept of tyre deceleration (dω/dt) in the test technology.

Supporting presentation to the ETRTO proposal for minimum wet-grip performance thresholds (document GRRF-73-18) to ensure that improvements in tire rolling resistance (per EU CO2 goals) do not result in inadequate wet-grip performance.

Text prepared by the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation (ETRTO) in order to correct inconsistencies in time measurement accuracy in annex 6.

Supplement 2 to the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 117 (Document WP.29/2012/54) as adopted at the June WP.29 session contained a typo where the snow temperature range for the snow grip test should be ‐4°C to ‐15°C, but the ‘minus’ sign was omitted before the first figure.

Text prepared by the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation (ETRTO) in order to correct inconsistencies in time measurement accuracy in Annex 6 of UN R 117.

Further background as requested at the last GRB meeting on the recommended use of a “deceleration calculator” software for the deceleration test method in the test procedure for measuring rolling resistance.

Proposal to revise the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation (ETRTO) proposals (documents GRB-58-02 and GRRF/2013/30) to correct inconsistencies in time measurement accuracy in annex 6 of the regulation.

Supplement 2 to the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 117 (Document WP.29/2012/54) as adopted at the June WP.29 session contained a typo where the snow temperature range for the snow grip test should be ‐4°C to ‐15°C, but the ‘minus’ sign was omitted before the first figure.
