Proposal for clarifications to the European Commission proposal (document GRPE/2104/2) to align the requirements of Regulation No. 83 with those of European Union Regulation (EC) Nos. 715/2007, 692/2008, 566/2011, 459/2012 and 630/2012.

Corrigendum to the text prepared by the European Commission to align the requirements of Regulation No. 83 with those of European Union Regulation (EC) Nos. 715/2007, 692/2008, 566/2011, 459/2012 and 630/2012.

Proposal for a series of amendments to update the on-board diagnostics (OBD) requirements in line with technological progress, including changes in ISO standards.

When the scope of Euro VI legislation in the EU was extended downwards to 2,380 kg, the vehicles which are so approved were not exempted from light duty approvals. As the measurement of CO2 emissions and fuel/energy consumption is covered by UN Regulation No. 101, this proposal would add an exemption clause in UN Regulation No. 83 to take into account this overlap with light-duty vehicle requirements.

Text prepared by the European Commission to align the requirements of Regulation No. 83 with those of European Union Regulation (EC) Nos. 715/2007, 692/2008, 566/2011, 459/2012 and 630/2012. It updates the text of document GRPE/2013/11, including additional definitions on: vehicle power, engine and vehicle characteristics, information concerning the conduct of tests (namely for power and torque), the specifications of new reference fuels (E10 and B7), the type approval communication of test results for bi fuel vehicles, and clarifications on OBD threshold limits.

Text prepared by OICA to align the regulation with the full requirements for vehicles that meet “special social needs” under the regulatory framework of the European Union.

Proposal was prepared by the secretariat to correct a typographical error in the unit of the diameter of particulates in the 06 series of amendments:

Page 7, paragraph 2.5.1., for “23 mm” read “23 nm”.

UNECE report in response to World Health Organization concerns over vehicle emissions, in particular diesel particulates.

The purpose of this proposal is to modify the content of document GRPE/2013/11 (proposal for the 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 83 by the European Commission) in order to avoid misinterpretation for practical application and implementation of the regulation.

UNECE “background note” providing information on developments in air pollution, the results of recent studies on the harmful effects of diesel exhausts, policy developments in the reduction of pollutant emissions to address health and environmental concerns.

Document GRPE/2013/11 presents the EC proposal to integrate Euro 6 provisions into UN R83. This presentation covers the work that went into this proposal and its implications for UN R101 and R103.

Proposal to align the 06 series of amendments to UN R83 with the full EU requirements for “social needs” vehicles. In the 06 series of amendments, emission compliance for social needs vehicles is based on M limits only, while in the EU, these vehicles can comply with N1 class 3 limits.

Proposal to amend document GRPE/2013/11 by expanding upon the tire selection process to focus on rolling resistance.

Text from the European Commission to align UN R83 with EU Regulation (EC) Nos. 715/2007, 692/2008, 566/2011, 459/2012 and 630/2012, proposed as a consolidated series of amendments.
