Q1What changed2 changes
New extension case for variants of the vehicle type (para. 6.1.2.)
Paragraph 6.1.2. lists the cases in which a modification is designated an “extension”, “in addition to the change of the particulars recorded in the information folder”. This supplement adds item (d): “to cover all the other variants of the vehicle type for which the sum of the unladen vehicle mass and the rated cargo and luggage mass is not more than 8 per cent greater than that of the vehicle used in the approval test, provided there is no conflict with the provisions of paragraph 6.1. above”. Item (c) now ends with “; or” instead of a full stop.
Q2Why it changed

- GRSP, 72nd session (December 2022)
Reasons
The experts from Germany and the Netherlands prepared GRSP-72-46 to re-introduce provisions into UN Regulation No. 135. Other documents aim to re-introduce the same text into UN Regulations Nos. 94, 95 and 137. That text allows tolerances of the vehicle mass and simplified testing.
