What the notification says

Latest notice (⁨G/TBT/N/UGA/1389/Add.2⁩, 10 November 2025)

The latest notice says the measure has entered into force.

DUS 2277-1:2021, Road vehicles — Maximum road speed limiters for motor vehicles — Part 1: Performance and installation requirements, First Edition

The aim of this addendum is to inform WTO Members that the Draft Uganda Standard; DUS 2277-1:2021, Road vehicles — Maximum road speed limiters for motor vehicles — Part 1: Performance and installation requirements, First Edition in G/TBT/N/UGA/1389 and G/TBT/N/UGA/1389/Add.1 entered into force on 11 July 2025.

This Part 1 of this Uganda Standard specifies requirements for the performance and installation of devices designed to limit the maximum road speed of motor vehicles by control of engine power. This standard also specifies performance requirements of speed recording and reporting devices. These may be a separate unit to be installed on the vehicle and an add-on or on-board system built in the vehicle. This standard does not cover methods of test and procedure for type approval, which are covered under WDUS 2277-2. The two parts of this standard cannot therefore be read in isolation.
