Proposal to delete reference numbers to absent footnotes (delete orphaned reference numbers).

Proposal based on the 07 series of amendments to remove elements covered by UN R154 (WLTP), to include references to the draft UN Regulation on Real Driving Emissions (RDE), and to update In-Service Conformity (ISC) requirements for the purposes of establishing regional type approval equivalence.

Proposal to introduce SAE standard J1979-2 (E/E Diagnostic Test Modes: OBDonUDS) as an option into the Regulation and to align wording between the first sentence of paragraph 3.2.1.2. (“ambient or engine temperatures”) and the second sentence, where “or engine” was missing to avoid misunderstanding and ambiguity. Engine temperature is sometimes used as a substitute for ambient temperature. In this case, the engine temperature is evaluated once after a longer engine shut off phase. Only in this case an approval is necessary, as this is the only case, where an OBD monitor is disabled for the complete trip.

Proposal to harmonize the requirements of the 06 and 07 series of amendments, align with UN R48 wording to ensure consistent type-approval test conditions with the introduction of the 08 series of amendments (to introduce the possibility to switch OFF rear position lamps and other lamps when ambient light conditions outside the vehicle are above 7,000 lux in order to avoid unnecessary fuel consumption), to introduce the option to use of SAE standard J1979-2 (E/E Diagnostic Test Modes: OBDonUDS), to align wording between the first sentence of paragraph 3.2.1.2. (“ambient or engine temperatures”) and the second sentence (where “or engine” was omitted), and to align paragraph 6.5.1.3. with GTR No. 15.
