10. | UN Regulation No. 90

123. The expert from Italy presented GRVA-15-48, introducing GRVA-15-14, which includes the proposal to allow the use of a digital medium (e.g. QR-code, website) as an alternative to the existing information requirements in paragraph 6.1.3.4 in the regulation.

124. The expert from CLEPA provided comments (GRVA-15-24 and GRVA-15-25).

125. The expert from FEMFM agreed in general that digital media could be used but he argued that some information, provided in the packaging of the replacement parts, should not be replaced by information provided via digital media.

126. The expert from Germany explained that there was already a precedent with UN Regulation No. 129. He explained that UN Regulation No. 129 specified a duration of 10 years and wondered if there was a justification for a lower duration (five years) as proposed by Italy.

127. The expert from France explained that, in the European Union context, information provided via a QR-code would be acceptable provided that this is specified in UN Regulation No. 90. The expert from the European Commission confirmed this interpretation.

128. The expert from Italy volunteered to submit a revised proposal for consideration at the next session. The expert from FEMFM also volunteered to submit an alternative proposal.
