Transmitted by the expert from China
Comparison ECE R51.03 (adopted by GRB) versus Draft GB1495 for M1 Category Only

Looks very different and almost imcompatible, but …
*Increased by 1 dB(A) for M1 (GVW＞2 500kg) with more than one axle drive during the test or with rear axle drive;

M1 derived
from N1
For vehicle types of category M1 derived from N1 vehicle types having a
technically
permissible maximum laden mass above 2.5 tons
and a R-point height greater than 850
mm from the ground, the limits of vehicles types of category N1 having a technically
permissible maximum laden mass above 2.5 tons apply.

Offroad
For vehicle types
designed for off-road use
, the limit values shall be increased by 2 dB(A)
for M3 and N3 vehicles category and
1 dB
for any other vehicle category. For vehicle
types of category M1 the increased limit values for off-road vehicles are only valid if the
technically permissible maximum laden mass > 2 tons.
+1 dB
M1 SPV
Limit values shall be increased by 2 dB(A) for
wheelchair accessible
vehicles of category
M1 constructed or converted specifically so that they accommodate one or more persons
seated in their wheelchairs when travelling on the road, and
armoured vehicles
, as
defined in 2.5.2 of the consolidated resolution R.E.3.

For vehicle types of category M1 and N1 having a maximum technically permissible
laden mass of less than or equal to 2.5 tons, a R-point height greater than 800mm from
the ground and a mid engine where the center point of gravity is at least 300mm behind
the front axleand with rear axle drive, the limits of the vehicle types of category N1
having a maximum technically permissible laden mass above 2.5 tons apply.

*Vehicle types of Category M1 (GVM?2500kg), with (PMR>160kW/t), its limits should be
increased by 2dB(A);
*Vehicle types of Category M1 (GVM>2500kg), with (PMR>160kW/t), its limits should be
increased by 1dB(A);
*Vehicle types of Category M1 (GVM?2500kg) rear axle drive and mid(rear)-engine its
limits should be increased by 1dB(A)
GVW
<
2500 kg; Vehicle types of Category M1 (GVM?2500kg) rear axle drive and
mid(rear)-engine its limits should be increased by 1dB(A); GVW > 2500 kg

The differences in limits per specific vehicle subcategory of M1 are very little.Why not making a final step for a full harmonization?
Missing elements for the needs of China
How to Arrive to a Compromise

With an adoption of the special amendment for M1 and N1 Multivans and Multitrucks by GRB, China can take over the complete classification for M1 to GB1495
Thank you for your attention
