The 50th IWVTA IWG session discussed strategies to increase IWVTA awareness and use, including harmonizing U-IWVTA with Japan’s Type Designation System and holding a workshop on July 17. Members reviewed UN R0/09 series amendments, considered revisions to General Guidelines on Transitional Provisions to prevent contradictions between series, and proposed a mechanism to identify compliance levels of UN type-approvals in DETA. The group will submit amended proposals to WP.29 in June and review updated Terms of Reference.
GRVA may wish to discuss the arrangements of the GRVA workshop(s) in 2024, as agreed by WP.29 in November 2023 and by GRVA in January 2024 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRVA/18, Annex III).
