Comments from IEC on the informal document GRE-69-15/Rev.1 (“Priority of Discussion on Technical Requirements for IWVTA and Draft Report to IWVTA Informal Meeting”)

OICA comments on document GRE-69-15/Rev.1 concerning the lighting regulations under consideration for inclusion in the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA) system.

Proposal to add registration plates used in non-European Contracting Parties to the scope of the regulation. This document is based on the previous document GRE-69-23.

As part of the work on establishing an International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA) system, Japan has noted differences between European and Japanese vehicle registration (license) plates. Since UN R4 would be part of the IWVTA process, Japan seeks to add its plate requirements to the European requirements embodied in UN R4 in order to enable Japan to adopt this regulation and thereby adhere to the IWVTA.

Status of the lighting regulations listed for inclusion within the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval systems.

Document proposing regulations for inclusion in the pending regulation on International Whole Vehicle Type Approvals and providing guidance to the Working Parties in their respective reviews of this work.
