25. The expert from OICA presented GRPE-71-05 and GRPE-71-06 proposing amendments to UN Regulation No. 49 on the verification of the measurement equipment linearity in line with UN Regulation No. 96 and on the monitoring of the fuel injection malfunction (On-Board Diagnostic systems) respectively.

26. The expert from EC expressed study reservations. GRPE agreed in principle with both proposals and requested the secretariat to distribute them with an official symbol at the next GRPE session.

27. The secretariat introduced GRPE-71-07 on issues identified when producing Revision 7 of UN Regulation No. 49. The secretariat underlined that typo errors were already corrected and that the purpose of the document was to bring the attention of GRPE to the substantive issues on which the group might wish to take action.

28. The Chair of the IWG on Gaseous Fuelled Vehicles (GFV) stressed the need to discuss some of the issues identified by the secretariat in the IWG. The expert from EC volunteered to take the responsibility on the amendments to UN Regulation No. 49 on the basis of GRPE-71-07 and to coordinate with the corresponding IWGs when necessary.

29. The Chair of GRPE thanked the secretariat for their contribution and stressed the importance of correctness of the provisions. He explained that revised versions uploaded on the website should be in line with the legally binding texts which had been voted on by WP.29 and AC.1. GRPE agreed to resume the discussion at the next GRPE session on the basis of an informal document to be submitted by the expert from EC.
