Mr. Secretary shows on screen the ‘try-out version’ of DETA. Then explains document DETA-22-04e rev. 01. This document shows the attributes currently in as well as proposals for attributes to be added. It is decided to modify the document to distinguish between approvals for systems/components and IWVTA’s and to make clear which attributes should be entered by the TAA, which attributes may be entered by the manufacturers or which are generated automatically by the DETA system.

The group is in favour of deleting some attributes currently in. Mr. Secretary will put these between square brackets and will check before next session the reason for these attributes within ETAES.

With regard to the attribute “Commercial Name(s)” it is recognized that the type approval may include more commercial names where the DoC applies to a single vehicle and can have only one commercial name. Because this situation results in the technical difficulty of generating the DoC with the corresponding commercial name, and because the commercial name is not necessary for the purpose of the DoC, SGR0-18 will be requested to remove the commercial name from the DoC.

Finally it has been decided that the user manual for DETA should give a precise description/definition of the various attributes.
Further details with regard to the outcome of this discussion will be included in DETA-22-04e rev. 02.
