47. The representative of the United Kingdom introduced a proposal to amend the Safety Management System provisions, with the aim of aligning the text of the original version and the 01 series of amendments with the text already adopted for the 02 series of amendments. In response to a question, he clarified that the proposed supplement would apply when an extension of approval is granted. GRVA supported the proposal.

48. GRVA adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRVA/2026/31 and requested the secretariat to submit it as draft Supplement 5 to the original version and draft Supplement 3 to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 171 (DCAS) to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their March 2027 sessions.
