26. The representative from EC introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2021/6 as amended by GRPE-82-22 proposing a new 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 49. The representative from FSD requested clarifications on the proposal to remove provisions related to On-Board Diagnosis (OBD) from the text. The representative from EC said that there have been considerations to remove OBD provisions from UN Regulation No. 49 to align with existing legislation in the EU, but that they were finally kept in. He suggested to look at the opportunity to include such provisions for the whole vehicle, not only for emission related purposes, possibly in UN Regulation No. 0.

27. The Chair asked whether this topic was being discussed at the IWG on International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA). The representative from EC stated that this issue had now been identified and needed to be considered by the IWG on IWVTA. The GRPE Ambassador to the IWG on IWVTA agreed to initiate a discussion on the potential to include OBD and Repair and Maintenance Information (RMI) into UN Regulation No. 0.

28. GRPE endorsed the proposals for a new 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 49 and requested the secretariat to submit ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2021/6 and GRPE-82-22, as amended by Addendum 1 to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their June 2021 sessions as draft 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 49.
