17. | International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA)

51. The expert from OICA, in his capacity of GRSG Ambassador to the IWG on IWVTA, informed GRSG about the progress made during the recent meetings of the IWGs (GRSG-109-25). He recalled the remaining open issue of the clarification of the scope of UN Regulation No. 116 (GRSG-104-39-Rev.3 and GRSG-108-49).

52. A number of experts were of the opinion that the installation on vehicles of categories M1 and N1 of an immobilizer or antitheft devices was mandatory, but the installation of the alarm systems was considered as optional. As paragraph 1.8. of UN Regulation No. 116 (including its recommendation under footnote 3/) was subject to the choice of application by the Contracting Parties and therefore not clear, GRSG welcomed the suggestion by the expert from OICA to set up a specific Task Force to clarify this subject. The Chair invited all interested experts to contact the GRSG Ambassador (e-mail: ofontaine@oica.net). GRSG agreed to resume consideration of this subject at its next session in April 2016.
