The terms of reference (TOR) were discussed and updated based on the group agreement. Most of the edits were incorporated to provide better clarification to the text. Some of the relevant items are as follows:

• o Changed RESS to REESS as RESS has already been used by another working group under the GRPE.
• o The group decided to keep the description for high voltage vehicles broad and use EV in the TOR instead of specific types of vehicle such as PEV, HEV, PHEV, HFCV, etc. The specific definition can be decided in the GTR.
• o Insert a paragraph to include a WP29 decision: “The WP29 Committee has adopted this proposal with China as one of the co-sponsors together with the United States, Japan and the European Union, and recorded in the reports.”
• o Post-crash was changed to “During and post-crash.”
• o EC proposed that this group should also consider the different standards for electro-mobility (vehicle inlets for charging) and for vehicle-to-grid communication (intelligent charging), in so far these topics may be relevant for the technical requirements to be developed.
• o The group agreed to exclude the noise and EMC items from this effort.

16. Following to the decision of AC.3 to establish two informal working group on electric vehicles (see ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1095, para. 133), GRSP considered the first status report of the informal working group on electric safety (GRSP-51-20-Rev.1) and its terms of reference (GRSP-51-19-Rev.1) prepared by the expert from the United States of America. He clarified that the two informal working groups would have a different schedule and for the time being, they would report separately on the work progress to the Executive Committee of the 1998 Agreement (AC.3). GRSP endorsed the first status report of the informal working group, adopted its terms of references (GRSP-51-19-Rev.1) as reproduced in Annex II to this report and agreed to seek consent from AC.3 at its June 2012 session.
