GRVA | Session 14 | 26-30 Sep 2022

114. The secretariat presented GRVA-14-05 and Rev.1, listing the UN Regulations under the purview of GRVA for which the use of the Unique Identifier (UI), as defined in Schedule 5 of the 1958 Agreement, would not be permitted. The expert from the Netherlands stated that, in general, UI did not provide many benefits and would create issues related to enforcement and periodic technical inspection. GRVA discussed whether UI provisions would need to be introduced in selected UN Regulations for the sake of uniform application and agreed to resume discussion in January 2023.

Netherlands sees no value in UI. Russia has similar view. Paper technically to decide whether UI should be prohibited ("careful phrasing of text"-François G.). Document will be revised but likely will need more changes. Decision to continue discussion at next session. Richard D. notes that application of UI would depend on CP proposing to use it (registering a UI under DETA?).
