Recalling the discussion at the previous session of GRSG, the expert from IMMA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2019/8 to amend the provisions of R.E.3 to allow the application of “twinned wheels” on all vehicles of category L. GRSG noted general support and adopted the document. The secretariat was requested to submit ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2019/8 to WP.29 as an amendment to the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles for consideration at its November 2019 session.

57. The expert from IMMA volunteered to check if a parallel amendment to the Special Resolution No. 1 (S.R.1) under the 1998 Agreement was necessary and offered to keep GRSG informed.
