37. The secretariat informed GRSG about the work progress of the WP.29 informal group on International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA). GRSG acknowledged the leading role of Japan and the EC on this subject. Referring to WP.29-156-21, GRSG noted the following comments:

• (a) item 55 on “Advance warning triangle” should be listed under the responsibility of the Working Party on Lighting and Light-Signalling (GRE);
• (b) the purpose of item 41 (Engine and power-train system) should be clarified with more detailed information.

38. GRSG agreed to insert on its agenda a new item on IWVTA to discuss in detail future proposals on this subject. The expert from Japan volunteered to prepare concrete proposals on UN Regulation Nos. 34 (Fuel tanks) and 46 (Indirect vision devices) for consideration at the next GRSG session in October 2012. GRSG welcomed the IWVTA concept and the commitment of Mr. O. Fontaine (OICA) ensuring the task of the “IWVTA Ambassador” to GRSG.
