Based upon a proposal from the ETRTO and the UK, this text was adopted by the Working Party on Noise (GRB) at its 57th session to update noise test-track requirements from ISO 19844:1994 to ISO 10844:2011 and incorporate transitional provisions to allow repaving of existing, non-compliant test tracks with the ISO 10844:2011 standards.

Text as adopted by the Working Party on Brakes and Running Gear (GRRF) at its 74th session based upon a European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation (ETRTO) proposal to amend the snow test method for C3 tyres in order to prescribe the wider of the possible speed ranges (document GRRF/2012/19). Please note that this proposal was adopted at the November 2013 (161st) WP.29 session as Supplement 5, having originally been proposed as Supplement 4 during the June session.

Proposed revisions to the table of priorities for integrating GRPE-related UN Regulations into the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval system (document GRPE-65-19).

Clarification to affirm CLEPA’s understanding that the proposed new numbering system applies only to the numbering of type approval certificates and not to the approval mark to be put on each approved components.

Clarification by Russia to affirm its understanding that when new requirements are introduced by a later series of amendments to a UN Regulation, type approval can only be granted if a vehicle type complies with the new requirements.

This document describes the process of upgrading UN Regulation No. 0 for inclusion in the list of requirements (Annex 4 to the UN Regulation No. 0), newly adopted UN Regulations, and new series of amendments to existing UN Regulations. Once WP.29 and AC.1 be involved in this process, it is necessary to obtain the agreement of WP.29 on this process. Therefore SGR0 should submit to WP.29 a request for guidance.

The need for a request for guidance from WP.29 on the exchange of information between Contracting Parties to facilitate implementation of UN Regulation No. 0 is stipulated in the IWVTA Explanatory Note (documents SGR0-05-03 and SGR0-05-03/Rev.1). This document is intended to explain this issue to WP.29.
