The existing transitional provisions do not address tyres produced in accordance with the applicable requirements and placed in distribution channels before 7 July 2026. Therefore, a new transitional provision is proposed based on the clause R.4 of part C – “Transitional provisions for replacement parts for vehicles in use” of the General Guidelines for United Nations Regulatory Procedures and Transitional Provisions in UN Regulations. It will clarify that new tyres manufactured before 7 July 2026 and approved according to the 02 or 03 series of amendment will be allowed to be sold and fitted on vehicles in use for additional period not exceeding 30 months from 7 July 2026.
21. The expert of IWG WGWT proposed to add the missing references for the molded standard reference test tyre (SRTT16) in the 03 and 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 117 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRBP/2023/2 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRBP/2023/3). GRBP endorsed these references and noted that they had been already included in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2023/5 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2023/8 which would be considered by WP.29 and AC.1 at their forthcoming session in March 2023.
22. The expert from the European Commission proposed a new transitional provision (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRBP/2023/5). Following an in-depth discussion, GRBP adopted this proposal, as amended by GRBP-77-32, and requested the secretariat to submit it for consideration and vote at the June 2023 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1 as part of draft Supplement 1 to the 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 117.
