Excerpts from session reports related to this document
EVE | Session 3 | 27 Nov 2012

The Chair reviewed document EVE-03-02e, Proposal of “vehicle attribute approach” to Reference Guide and the Secretary reviewed document EVE-03-03e, Review of Preliminary Reference Guide Outline, and document EVE-03-04e, Review of Proposed Reference Guide Questionnaire.

It was noted in the discussion of the attribute to ensure communication with other WP.29 working groups (i.e. WLTP) so they know what the EVE IWG is doing. The Secretary confirmed that information for the Guide would be collected from contracting parties and WP.29 working groups.

The point was raised that text in section 5.1, Next steps, should be adjusted to read “potential GTR development” rather than “future GTR development”. A comment was made that the Guide should be shared with other WP.29 working groups who may find it useful.

A number of points were raised concerning the Questionnaire:

• It was clarified by the Secretary that the Guide would not be a “living document”, as the document will not be continuously updated in the future.

• The focus of the Outline and Questionnaire should be adjusted to include not only contracting parties and WP.29 working groups, but also the vehicle industry and other stakeholders.

• Terminology concerning national and regional jurisdictions should be adjusted in the Questionnaire to be generic to ensure all jurisdictional requirements are included in the Guide.

• An adjustment to the Questionnaire should be made to allow for explanation of why requirements exist (intention); this would be to elucidate the scope of the measure, regional differences, policy objectives, etc.

• Question 2 should be expanded from “national and international standards” to include industry and/or voluntary standards.

Overall, EVE members did not express any concerns with the EVE-03-02e, EVE-03-03e and EVE-03-04e documents, thereby agreeing to move forward with the proposed approach.

Action: The Secretary will adjust the Outline (EVE-03-03e) and Questionnaire (EVE-03-04e) according to the comments raised for discussion at the EVE #4 meeting.
