38. The expert from OICA recalled the purpose of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2018/2 and informed GRSG that parts of the proposal had been adopted and that the remaining parts had recently been reviewed by TF on gas-fuelled vehicle regulations. The expert from Germany reported on the good TF work progress force. He presented GRSG-116-05 on the outcome of TF discussions on UN Regulation No. 67. The expert from LG Europe proposed to remove the requirements for the use of an odorant in n-pentane: such requirements were not necessary and not requested in any test in the UN Regulations or in international standards (GRSG-116-39). After discussion, GRSG agreed on the revised proposal GRSG-116-05-Rev.1 and adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2018/2 as reproduced in Annex III to this report. The secretariat was requested to submit the revised proposal to WP.29 and AC.1 as draft Supplement 2 to the 02 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 67 for consideration at their November 2019 sessions.

39. As a follow-up to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2017/22 tabled at a previous session of GRSG, the expert from Turkey presented a revised proposal (GRSG-116-35) for amendments to insert new provisions on the location on the vehicle of the filling unit. Some experts welcomed the proposal in principle but preferred to clarify the amendments. Finally, GRSG agreed on GRSG-116-35-Rev.1 and adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2017/22 as reproduced in Annex IV to this report. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal as amended to WP.29 and AC.1 as a new draft 03 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 67 for consideration at their November 2019 sessions.
