21. The Secretary of the informal group for a tyre GTR reported on the progress made. He presented the latest version of the text of a draft GTR (GRRF-74-38) amending ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2012/22. GRRF reviewed the document and agreed on the technical aspect of this proposal. GRRF noted that some decisions needed to be taken by WP.29 and AC.3. GRRF adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2012/22, as amended and reproduced in GRRF-74-38, keeping in square brackets the “Adhesion Performance on Wet Surfaces” provisions (paragraph 3.12.). GRRF requested the secretariat to submit the proposal as amended below to WP.29 and AC.3 for consideration at their June 2013 sessions and for vote at their November 2013 session. GRRF expected to review, during its September 2013 sessions any guidance received as necessary.
Paragraph 2.58., replace ASTM by ASTM International
Footnote 1, paragraph 3.14.1., amend to read:
1 Contracting Parties who utilize load ranges higher than E for LT may apply national requirements.
22. The expert from France introduced GRRF-74-09 proposing a status report on developing the tyre GTR. He volunteered to prepare an updated report as a final report for phase 1 of the development of the tyre GTR to be presented to WP.29 and AC.3 at their sessions in June 2013.
23. GRRF noted the completion of the work on the phase 1 by the informal group and acknowledged the work done by its experts.
