24. The representative from Japan introduced GRPE-87-17, GRPE-87-18 and GRPE-87-19. He proposed to delay the adoption of those proposals to better scrutinize the content of the proposals. The representatives from France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and the European Commission supported the proposed approach from Japan and to discuss the proposals in an ad-hoc group. The representative from OICA also supported such delay as detailed in GRPE-87-15.

10. The representative from OICA introduced GRPE-85-09 and GRPE-85-15 proposing to correct the recursive formula calculating pass/fail criteria of CoP in the 05, 06, 07 Series of Amendments to UN Regulation No. 83 and the 02 and 03 Series of Amendments to UN Regulation No. 154. The representative from the EU informed GRPE that the proposal did not impact the EU as they use a different approach to pass/fail criteria of CoP tests. The representative from India supported the proposals and asked whether UN GTR No.15 should also be amended in a similar way. GRPE agreed to consider GRPE-85-09 as a working document in forthcoming sessions of GRPE.

11. The secretariat proposed to adopt GRPE-85-15 and to include it in revisions to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2022/41 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2022/42 to be considered by WP.29 and AC.1 in March 2022. He prepared GRPE-85-45 and GRPE-85-46 respectively. The representative from Japan supported the proposals and added that they were flexible on the timing of implementation of such proposals.

12. GRPE adopted GRPE-85-45 and GRPE-85-46 as ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2022/41/Rev.1 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2022/42/Rev.1 respectively and requested the secretariat to submit them to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their March 2022 sessions as draft 02 and 03 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 154 respectively.

15. The representatives of Japan, the EU and OICA introduced GRPE-84-08, summarizing the amendments proposed to UN Regulation No. 154. They informed about the proposed modifications leading to proposals to new 02 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2021/21 and GRPE-84-06 as amended by Addendum 2) and 03 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2021/22 and GRPE-84-07 as amended by Addendum 3) series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 154.

16. GRPE adopted the proposals and requested the secretariat to submit Addendum 2 and Addendum 3 to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their March 2022 sessions as draft 02 and 03 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 154 respectively.

17. The representative from OICA added that OICA was expected to submit proposals to amend the original version and 01 series of amendment to UN Regulation No. 154 to reflect some of the improvement made in the 02 and 03 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 154 once those proposals adopted by GRPE.

18. The representative from OICA introduced GRPE-84-12 and GRPE-84-13 as a draft proposal for amendment to UN Regulation No. 154 with respect to Charge-depleting cycle range (RCDC). The representatives from Japan and the EU did not support this proposal. The representative from OICA agreed more time was needed to finalize the proposal and informed GRPE an updated proposal would be submitted to GRPE at its next sessions.

11. The representative from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2021/12 as a proposal for amendment to UN Regulation No. 154. GRPE welcomed the proposal and agreed with the content of the proposal, following an edit during the session. The Chair proposed other related informal documents, also proposing amendments to UN Regulation No. 154, to be introduced to GRPE.

12. The representative of the European Commission (EC) introduced GRPE-83-07 and GRPE-83-08, and the representatives from OICA introduced GRPE-83-12, GRPE-83-13, GRPE-83-18 and GRPE-83-19 proposing amendments to the original and 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 154.

13. The Chair proposed to take all proposals to amend UN Regulation No. 154 together and proposed different options (GRPE-83-33) also considering the extra GRPE session in November 2021. GRPE agreed to have preparatory meetings with all interested parties and to attempt preparing working documents to be considered during the November 2021 session of GRPE.
