GRRF | Session 72 | 20-24 Feb 2012

24. On behalf of the informal group on the Tyre GTR, the expert from ETRTO reported on the work progress done by the group during the meeting prior the GRRF session proper.

He presented the proposed structure and the draft preamble for the new GTR on tyres (GRRF-72-23).

He informed GRRF on the remaining open issues still to be considered: amongst others the scope, the tyre identification number and the manufacturer reference code. The expert from the United States of America volunteered to review the preamble with respect to a more neutral certification procedure.

Referring to GRRF-72-16, the expert from India acknowledged that the informal group had already considered his concerns.

GRRF noted that the next meeting of the informal group was scheduled to be held in Geneva on 29 June 2012 to further develop GRRF-72-23.

GRRF noted the consent of WP.29 at its November 2012 session to go forward with a two-phase approach and to consider the requirements e.g. for rolling resistance, wet grip, light truck and commercial tyres only in the second phase.

GRRF agreed to have, at its next session in September 2012, a detailed review of the draft GTR (first phase) on the basis of an official document to be prepared by the informal group.
