Proposal from the IWVTA informal group to supersede the current guidelines for regulatory procedures and transitional provisions for UN Regulations (document WP.29/1044 and its Revision 1) with updated general guidelines for establishing or amending UN Regulations, including for the definition of scope, administrative and transitional provisions, use of alternative requirements, and cross-referencing with other regulations. This proposal aims to

1. Streamline future work without superseding provisions of the 1958 Agreement and the existing UN Regulations,
2. Clarify rulemaking procedures pursuant to Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement, and
3. Ensure “good regulatory practice” through clarifications to avoid divergence between the interpretation of Revision 3 and the application to UN Regulations.

Proposal concerning extensions of type approvals granted under Revision 2 of the 1958 Agreement following the entry into force of Revision 3. The proposal would specify terms as of the adoption by AC.1 (in lieu of the current proposal to specify terms for Supplements as of their entry into force).
