Proposal to further develop GTR No. 15 with respect to system durability, evaporative emissions, and OBD requirements and to consider other items such as conformity of production, in-service conformity (in-use testing), crankcase emissions, emissions at idle, etc.
17. The expert from Japan, one of the sponsors for the development of UN GTR No. 15, presented a draft proposal on the mandate for Phase 2 (GRPE-71-27), including provisions for durability, evaporative emissions and On-Board Diagnostic systems (OBD). The Chair of GRPE explained that some of the issues could be covered by another UN GTR.
18. GRPE endorsed the draft mandate for Phase 2 and suggested that the technical sponsors for the development of UN GTR No. 15 submit a request for authorization to WP.29 and the Executive Committee of the 1998 Agreement (AC.3) at their November 2015 sessions to start Phase 2 activities immediately after the conclusion of Phase 1B.
