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.
GRBP will be briefed by the secretariat about the highlights of the recent sessions of WP.29 on GRBP and common issues.
