The representative of Germany, Chair of GRVA, introduced document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2026/2, proposing an amendment to Schedule 2 to the 1958 Agreement, reflecting that the UN Regulations increasingly contain process-audit-related provisions and therefore making sure that the technical services accommodate this evolution. The World Forum considered this draft amendment and recommended its submission to AC.1 for voting, with the following update: paragraphs 1.2. and 2.2., for ISO 17020:2025 read ISO 17020:2026.
