Starting note presented by K. Kolesa (WLTP-08-09e) Task force will be installed with members: Konrad Kolesa, Andre Rijnders, Iddo Riemersma, Christoph Lueginger, Les Hill; Bjoern Ramacherand external statistics experts

Round Robin exercises:
Brief oral reports were given by B. Coleman & T. Haniu about progress of ongoing measurements. India gave an overview on Asia round robin, which is based on the current status of gtr. Project of national Indian round robin is ongoing with strong support of manufacturers. Since China did not yet show clear position in participation, Chair is asked to clarify this issue again with China.

Amendment for Gtr 15 definitions
B. Coleman presented WLTP-08-39e and WLTP-08-45e. WLTP IWG welcomed the work and supported after discussion the definition of “maximum vehicle load” as a base for depending definitions. “Maximum vehicle laden mass” – feedback from JPN is expected. The proposed changes were not yet formally adopted, but supported by the WLTP IWG. Draft text will be given to the Drafting Coordinator. The technical aspects for continuously regenerating systems have to be integrated in the technical annex (Drafting Coordinator)

Drafting issues:
Chair introduced the process of amending the gtr text and announced to schedule a drafting meeting. Report (WLTP-08-40e) was given by S. Dubuc.

WLTP IWG received several comments from JPN, T&E and OICA members on the expert proposals in the current gtr draft (WLTP-08-04e) which were foreseen to be adopted by written procedure with deadline 31.10.2015. B. Coleman suggested to schedule drafting team meetings to have a peer review of the complete gtr draft. WLTP IWG concluded that a Drafting TF shall deal with the open points regarding expert proposals (editorial stuff, minor technical amendments, etc.) and conduct a peer review of the complete gtr. Drafting meetings to be arranged by the Drafting Coordinator. Brief introduction of new Expert Proposals to be adopted by written procedure will be in drafting taskforce if needed. Schedule for drafting taskforce will be established by Chair until 12/2014.

Chair clarified that all amendments from Drafting task force still need to be adopted formally by WLTP IWG later on. More fundamental issues need to be reported separately to WLTP IWG and will be added as separate discussions points to an IWG agenda, if necessary.

Indication of temperatures (°C / K, “273[.15] K”) has to be consistent within the gtr. Systematic approach will be developed by expert group (M. Bergmann, A. Feucht) and submitted to the WLTP IWG. To ensure consistency with other gtr’s, Chair will inform other GRPE IWGs, e.g. EPPR, by progress report in January GRPE.
