Proposal to amend the transitional provisions in order to explicitly confirm that approvals granted under the preceding series of amendments and the establishment of the new guidelines on UN Regulation procedures (documents WP.29/2017/107 including Corrigendum 1 and Addendum 1) will continue to be accepted. This amendment thus confirms the understanding that the new procedures apply only to new approvals and do not affect previous approvals.
13. The expert from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2018/11 to confirm that existing type approvals, granted on the basis of the preceding series of amendments, should remain accepted, in accordance with the General Guidelines for United Nations (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2017/107) regulatory procedures and transitional provisions in UN Regulations. GRSP adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2018/11 not amended and requested the secretariat to submit the proposal as draft Supplement 2 to the 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 11, for consideration and vote at the November 2018 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1.
52. The expert from OICA introduced GRSP-62-32, addressing a similar issue (see para. 27) on transitional provisions as discussed for UN Regulation No. 100. GRSP agreed in principle with the proposal and requested the secretariat to distribute it with an official symbol at its May 2018 session of GRSP.
