UNR WLTP having features that have not been seen before in Regulations of the 1958 Agreement and GRPE therefore decided to commission this document to assist all users of this Regulation in their understanding. UNR WLTP will have 3 Levels. There are two regional Levels (contained within Level 1), and one harmonised Level (Level 2). The regional Levels reflect the current (at the time of adoption) emissions legislation in the EU (Level 1A) and in Japan (Level 1B). The harmonised level is the only level which will be accepted as part of an approval to Regulation 0 (International Whole Vehicle Type Approval – IWVTA)

GRPE-81-29-Rev.1 can be found in the “Documents for reference only (GRPE)” section of the GRPE webpage. The representative from Japan also sought clarification about the entry into force of the 03 series of amendments to UN regulation No. 154, expected in October. The secretariat said he will collect relevant information to be communicated to the representative of Japan.
9. The Chair briefly introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2020/92 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2020/93 that were submitted to the June 2020 session of WP.29 from EU and Japan as amendments to the new UN Regulation No. [154] on WLTP already adopted by GRPE during the January 2020 session. Both documents proposed changes to improve the text emerging from the development of Amendment 6 to UN GTR No. 15. GRPE noted the amendments and thanked the Informal Working Group (IWG) on WLTP and the Contracting Parties (CPs) involved in the preparation of these documents.
10. The representative from OICA introduced GRPE-81-30 and GRPE-81-35, amended by GRPE-81-29-Rev.1 during the session. These documents contained clarifications to UN Regulation No. [154] on WLTP. As requested during the last session of GRPE (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/80, para. 15), these documents were aimed at providing guidance to future users of UN Regulation No. [154] on WLTP. The secretariat then introduced GRPE-81-36 presenting various options to provide visibility to such clarification / guidance documents. GRPE agreed to create a new section on the GRPE website, similar to those appearing in the GRE and GRBP sections, under " Documents for reference only", where GRPE-81-29-Rev.1 would be uploaded.
