As a result, WP.29 anticipates transforming GRB into GRBP (Groupe de Rapporteurs pour le Bruit et les Pneumatiques") with responsibility for tyre regulations. Please see agenda item 14 for further information.

In reply to the concerns raised by the Informal Working Group on the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWG IWVTA) at the 175th session of WP.29 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1139, para. 67), the expert from the Russian Federation proposed to align the provisions of UN Regulation No. 117 related to approval numbers and markings with the provisions of Schedule 4 to the 1958 Agreement (GRB-68-19). The expert for ETRTO stated that he would contribute to the document. The Chair invited other experts to provide their comments to the expert of the Russian Federation with a view to producing an official document for consideration at the next session.
