Agenda Item 3.
Explanation of the WP.29 Mandate and VIAQ Terms of Reference

3. Mr. JongSoon Lim repeated the following presentations from the Kick off meeting: VIAQ IWG Organization, WP 29 Mandate, GRPE Adoption, Rule Making Process and Rules and Procedures.

4. The position of vice chair is still open. China has been requested to take over the position, but needs additional time to decide.

5. The purpose of the group is to develop a recommendation under the 1998 agreement.

6. The ToR was questioned in the VIAQ Kick off meeting and a change of wording was proposed by OICA (Link OICA ToR change proposal). OICA wanted to stress that:

  1. ToR Chapter 1 (Background) could be misleading, but clearly doesn’t state that upon current knowledge customers are facing health effects, when driving in current vehicles.
  2. ToR chapter 2 (Objective) can be misleading, but it is not an objective of the working group to create limit values for substances to be measured.

7. The group shared the opinion of OICA, but decided to leave the wording of the ToR unchanged.
