ETRTO detected an issue in document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2022/7 with the insertion of paragraph 3.5.1. that is the consequence of the alignment between UN Regulation No. 54 and UN Regulation No. 109. This new requirement regarding the marking position in the sidewall for retreaded tyres is creating a burden for the retread industry that will potentially need to adapt all their moulds accordingly, without considering transitional provisions.
78. The World Forum considered the draft amendments under agenda items 4.6.1, 4.6.3, 4.6.4 and 4.6.6 to 4.6.8. and recommended their submission to AC.1 for voting.
79. The World Forum recalled that it had accepted the request of the GRBP Chair to postpone to the June 2022 session consideration of the draft amendments under agenda items 4.6.2 and 4.6.9 (see para 60. above).
80. The representative of ETRTO proposed a modification to the draft amendments in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2022/7 under agenda item 4.6.5 (WP.29-186-07). The representatives of the European Commission and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland commented on the ETRTO proposal. Based on the received comments, the World Forum requested ETRTO to revise WP.29-186-07 and decided to postpone consideration of the draft amendments in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2022/7 to the June 2022 session. In the interim, the World Forum requested the secretariat to arrange a written consultation of GRBP experts on the ETRTO proposal.
