Supplemental document containing all the remaining amendments pending discussion and decision during Session 6 of the Informal Working Group on UN R51 and UN R59.

The European automotive supplier association’s positions on provisions in the draft GTR. Since CLEPA has agreements whereby the association also represents the interests of the Japan Auto Parts Industries Association and the Motor and Equipment Manufacturers Association of the US within WP.29, CLEPA has stressed that these comments reflect only the European CLEPA views.

This document includes comments from ISO.

Draft agenda for the first meeting of the informal group established to prepare a UN Regulation under the 1958 Agreement on quiet road transport vehicles (initially focused on vehicles operating in electric mode).

Further refinements to the 02 series of amendments prepared by the Informal Working Group on UN Regulations Nos. 51 and 59. This submission proposes to clarify the amended text of document GRB/2014/6 which was approved during the 60th session of the Working Party on Noise and sent to WP.29 for consideration to adopt.

The purpose of this proposal is to update the reference to the latest version of the ISO 10844 and to introduce transitional provisions for the shift of the test track requirements from ISO 10844: 1994 to ISO 10844: 2014.

Under the current 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 41, the engine speed should be measured during all tests in Annex 3 and Annex 7 (Additional sound emission provisions – ASEP). However, IMMA has found that there is very little difference between the measured and the calculated engine speed for a manual transmission (MT) vehicle (Annex, figure 1) and no impact on the test result (Annex, figure 2). Therefore, this proposal would introduce a calculated engine speed for MT vehicles and for continuously variable transmission (CVT)/automatic transmission (AT) with locked gear mechanism into UN Regulation No. 41.

This proposal further refines and clarifies the 03 series of amendments to UN R51 from Informal Working Group on UN Regulations Nos. 51 and 59. The 03 series was proposed in document GRB/2014/5 which was amended and then adopted by the Working Party on Noise during its 60th session. The proposal includes special provisional limits for Chinese micro-vehicles which are being reviewed by Japan.

Correction to the text proposed by the informal working group on the revision of UN Regulations No. 51 and No. 59 to further refine UN R51.
