113. WP.29 noted the consolidated document (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1074/Rev.10) on the status of the Agreement including the status of the UN Rules annexed to the Agreement, the entry into force of recent amendments to Rules Nos. 1 and 2, on 10 February 2018, the list of the contracting parties (CP) to the Agreement and of their Administrative Departments. No new CP has acceded to the Agreement since the 173nd session of WP.29, nor has the secretariat received new notification on Periodical Technical Inspection (PTI) authorities.

114. The CPs were reminded to notify the secretariat of any relevant update.

115. The representative of the Russian Federation, Co-Chair of the IWG on PTI, updated the World Forum on the work of the group (WP.29-174-06). He reported to the World Forum on the ninth and tenth meetings of the IWG on PTI held on 16 November 2017 in Geneva and on 7 February 2018 in Brussels.

116. He presented the draft revised Terms of Reference (ToR) for the IWG on PTI (WP.29-174-07). As these ToR contained several provisions that have been scrutinised by the representatives from Sweden, United Kingdom and OICA, WP.29 referred the document back to the IWG on PTI for further development. A revised version was expected for consideration and potential adoption at the June 2018 session.
