57. The GRPE ambassador to the IWG on IWVTA introduced GRPE-82-12 on the inclusion of GRPE-related UN Regulations into IWVTA. He reminded that the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 154 was expected to enter into force during the summer and could therefore be included into UN Regulation No. 0 at its next update during the November 2021 session of WP.29, and that actions would be required by GRPE if this process was to be stopped.

58. The representative from EC sought clarifications about the inclusion and timing of the candidate UN Regulations into UN Regulation No. 0. The GRPE ambassador to the IWG on IWVTA clarified how the process developed and required information on the applicability of the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 154 in the EU once entered into force. The representative from EC recalled the specific provisions included into UN Regulation No. 154 to avoid misapplication of UN Regulation No. 154 and requested GRPE to postpone the inclusion of UN Regulation No. 154 into UN Regulation No. 0. The representative from Switzerland supported this request.

59. GRPE requested the GRPE ambassador to the IWG on IWVTA to ask for removal of UN Regulation No.154 and forthcoming UN Regulation No. [XXX] on RDE from the list of candidates for IWVTA Phase 2. GRPE also required the ambassador to seek guidance from the IWG on IWVTA on how to include provision related to Repair and Maintenance Information and On-Board Diagnosis into UN Regulation No. 0. (see para. ‎0).
