During the 19th session

• OICA commented on LEON-T project reports regarding tyre and powertrain noise contributions.
• The European Environment Agency presented findings on transport noise exposure affecting over 100 million Europeans.
• Norway presented a proposed 95 dB(A) noise limit for stationary vehicles under UN R51.
• France proposed amending UN R28 to introduce soft audible warning devices for M and N category vehicles.
• The task force suspended its cross-matrix activity and postponed discussion of L-category vehicles to the next session.

CLIV is developing a new UN Regulation for vehicle categories M1, M2, M3, and N1 in Phase 2. The draft regulation requires visual and audible external warnings upon detection of a child left in a vehicle. Visual warnings use direction indicator lamps flashing in SOS morse code pattern for at least 15 seconds, then off for no more than 30 seconds, repeating for at least 10 minutes. Audible warnings must exceed 60dB(A) following the same timing pattern. The IWG requests guidance on potential amendments to UN R48, UN R28, and UN R165.
