Excerpts from session reports related to this document
WP.29 \| Session 168 \| 8-11 Mar 2016			38. The representative of the United Kingdom informed the World Forum about a discussion that took place at GRRF in the context of IWVTA (WP.29-168-15) and, separately, on the issue of the performance of automotive systems in conditions other than those tested according to the regulated test procedures. He added that there are inherent risks that some systems, especially those relying on software (e.g. TPMS and AEBS) could be designed to work only in the limited conditions corresponding to those tested rather than in all the relevant driving conditions. He sought guidance from WP.29 and concluded by proposing that the new regulation on TPMS systems could serve as a case study to inform future consideration by the working party. The representative of the European Union supported such an approach. 39. WP.29 agreed to refer the document WP.29-168-15 to all GRs to receive feedback and agreed that, in the meantime, GRRF continues to address this matter.
