Mr. Meyer presented the results of the sub group 1 per the presentation IGPG-08-06, on behalf of Dr. Matthai.

The Chair explained that a machine developed by Mr. Schwahn (Straylizer) is currently under test at VW/Audi, with the aim of presenting results at the next meeting of the informal group. The target is to make the correlation as objective as possible between the current haze measurement procedure and the Straylizer. The Chair informed that it was too early at the time of IGPG-08 to provide preliminary results.

The informal group was informed that the sub-group is also currently performing tests on vehicles equipped with conventional windscreens, for comparison.

The Chair recalled that the 2 sub-groups had had 2 meetings and had good communications.
