51. The Co-Chair of the IWG on EPPR introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2022/7 and GRPE-85-39, as reflected in Addendum 3, containing the latest draft for a new UN GTR on durability of pollution-control devices for two- and three-wheelers. He added that the final report and the technical rationale (part I of the UN GTR text) were still missing and that, upon GRPE agreement, would be submitted directly to the June 2022 session of WP.29, and GRPE would get a chance to review it at its next session. The Chair required a confirmation that the part II of Addendum 3 would not be modified by the time it is considered by WP.29. The Co-Chair and secretary of the IWG on EPPR confirmed that part II would not be modified, except for minor editorial improvements.

52. GRPE adopted Addendum 3 and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.3 for consideration and vote at their June 2022 sessions as a draft new UN GTR on durability of pollution-control devices for two- and three-wheelers. GRPE agreed to have the final report and the technical rationale to be submitted directly to WP.29 by the sponsors of the UN GTR.

41. The Chair of the IWG on EPPR invited GRPE to review the latest draft for Amendment 5 to UN GTR No. 2, enlarging the scope to include more vehicle types (higher-powered three-wheeled vehicles) and accepting more fuel types to be included in the test procedure. He added the document was expected to be submitted to GRPE consideration at forthcoming sessions of GRPE.
