Agenda Item 13.
Development of the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA) system

30. GRB noted the good progress made by the WP.29 IWVTA informal groups on the Revision of the 1958 Agreement (SG58) and on the development of UN Regulation No. 0 (SGR0) at their recent informal meetings held in Sendai (Japan) in January 2014. It was noted that SG58 considered the unresolved issues (kept in square brackets) of the draft Revision 3 to the 1958 Agreement (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2014/26) and had agreed on the final text. The final text of the draft Revision 3 to the 1958 Agreement will be submitted to WP.29 for consideration at its March 2014 session, on the basis of an informal document supplementing the official document.

31. SGR0 finalized a first draft of UN Regulation No. 0 on IWVTA, which will be presented at the forthcoming session of WP.29 in March 2014 as an informal document. GRB noted that UN Regulations Nos. 28, 51 (either in its current form or 03 series of amendments) and 117, would be included in IWVTA. Concerning the need to develop a new UN Regulation dedicated to tyre installation, GRB noted that this issue would be dealt with by GRRF. Finally, the Chair of GRB suggested that the following experts sponsor the above-mentioned UN Regulations in the IWVTA: (i) CLEPA (UN Regulation No. 28), (ii) OICA (UN Regulation No. 51) and (iii) ETRTO (UN Regulation No. 117).
