Agenda Item 18.6.
GTR No. 15 (Worldwide harmonized Light vehicle Test Procedures (WLTP) – Phase 1(b))

133. The representative of Germany, Chair of GRPE, reminded AC.3 that UN GTR No. 15 had been adopted in March 2014 (Phase 1a) and since then GRPE had been working on delivering a proposal for the first amendment (Phase 1b). He reported that the IWG on WLTP had submitted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2016/3 corresponding to Phase 1b of its mandate for consideration at the next GRPE session in January 2016. He added that this proposal would be submitted to the June 2016 session of AC.3, if adopted by GRPE in January 2016. He presented WP.29-167-29, submitted by the representatives of Japan and EU as technical sponsors, requesting an extension of the mandate specifically for Phase 2. He informed AC.3 that this document had been endorsed at the last GRPE session in June 2015 and some minor amendments to the document were added.

134. AC.3 adopted WP.29-167-29 so that the IWG on WLTP can start Phase 2 activities immediately. AC.3 requested the secretariat to convert WP.29-167-29 into an official document for the March 2016 session of AC.3.
