Proposal to align UN R132 with the 05 series of amendments to Regulation No. 96.

Proposal to align UN R132 with the proposed 05 series of amendments to Regulation No. 96.

Proposal to align UN R132 with the proposed 05 series of amendments to Regulation No. 96.

In line with the need to update UN R96 in response to the new EU Stage V NRMM regulation, Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 would impact UN R132. Therefore, EUROMOT recommends updating UN R132 in parallel with UN R96 and UN R120. In particular, EUROMOT proposes establishing a specific annex to UN R132 in light of the similar stringencies of EURO VI heavy duty emissions requirements and those of NRMM Stage V that would specify all the necessary additional requirements for Stage V (in a manner similar to the existing Annex 12 for emission levels equivalent to the 06 series of amendments of UN R49).

Proposal to revise the definitions of REC devices and to introduce stricter limit values (reduction levels) for REC systems and transitional provisions for the sale of REC systems that meet the requirements of the REC Regulation in its original form. To assure coherence with the change in the definitions, the text also includes a revision of the test sequence for particulate reduction and the equivalence matrix for the Regulation No. 49 Standard series. The text was adopted by the Working Party on Pollution and Energy (GRPE) at its 68th session based on document GRPE/2014/4 as amended by GRPE-68-17-Rev.2.
