Administrative issues in Regulation 692/2008 for implementing WLTP in Annex XXI TRL Update 13th March 2014 Article Item Remarks Outcome from discussions at AdminWG 24-02, 25-02 & 26-02-14 + 13-03-14 1 Scope/Subject matter WLTP max mass 3,500 kg (N and M); reference mass The Scope can’t be changed (there is no legal basis), but not used. the details of the scope could in theory be changed, i.e. it would be possible to replace “reference mass” with “mass EU now reference mass 2610 plus extension to 2840 in running order” as long as the related mass figures were kg. UTAC Proposal - by Replace “reference mass “ also changed. in running “mass order” EU (potpourri) will be changed to max mass 5,000 There was some preference to continue to use reference kg. mass to distinguish light and heavy duty vehicles. UTAC Proposal At AdminWG on 26-02-14 it was agreed to leave the Regulation EC 715/2007: scope unchanged. Any change may eventually come via Article 2, Scope the potpourri. 1. This Regulation shall apply to motor vehicles of categories M1, M2, N1 and N2 as defined in Annex II of Directive 2007/46/EC with a mass in running order not exceeding 2585 kg 2. At the manufacturer's request, type approval granted under this Regulation may be extended from vehicles covered by paragraph 1 to M1, M2, N1 and N2 vehicles as defined in Annex II to Directive 2007/46/EC with a mass in running order not exceeding 2 815 kg and which meet the conditions laid down in this Regulation and its implementing measures. 2 Definitions New definitions from WLTP WLTP IWG will be discussing definitions for Phase 1b. This will feed into our work. Waiting for feedback from legal services as to whether ‘competing’ definitions can be within the regulation (with one confined to Annex XXI). Preferred approach is to have minimal change to Article 2 and most of work confined to Annex XXI. If this approach is not possible more work will need to be
