Proposal for a separate TPMS regulation, removing the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System provisions out of UN R64, in order to facilitate the establishment of the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval system. It is based on document GRRF/2015/13 taking into account the comments received at GRRF-78.
58. The expert from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2016/4 proposing to remove the TPMS requirements from Regulation No. 64 as suggested by the IWG on IWVTA.

GRRF adopted with the proposal as amended (GRRF-81-17-Rev.1). GRRF noted that the agreed proposal would not modify the test procedures as described in Annex 3 of the Regulation. The expert from the Russian Federation and some type-approval authorities raised a question about general provisions in UN Regulations for which no procedure was defined to verify the compliance with these general provisions for manufacturers. GRRF suggested that WP.29 could have a general discussion on the compliance off the test procedures and could provide guidance to the WP.29 subsidiary bodies.
