2. Mr. Andreas Wehrmeier summarized the meeting minutes of the VIAQ Kick off meeting.

17. The mindmap of the last meeting of pro and con ambient mode versus driving mode should be considered.

Proposals for VIAQ work, including discussion of ambient (new car) and driving (in-use) modes and of the various standards on interior air quality around the world.

15. Mr Jongsoon Lim summarized the work items concentrating on the measurement mode (ambient, parking, driving) and the target substances to be measured.

3. Mr. JongSoon Lim repeated the following presentations from the Kick off meeting: VIAQ IWG Organization, WP 29 Mandate, GRPE Adoption, Rule Making Process and Rules and Procedures.

6. The ToR was questioned in the VIAQ Kick off meeting and a change of wording was proposed by OICA (Link OICA ToR change proposal). OICA wanted to stress that:

1. ToR Chapter 1 (Background) could be misleading, but clearly doesn’t state that upon current knowledge customers are facing health effects, when driving in current vehicles.
2. ToR chapter 2 (Objective) can be misleading, but it is not an objective of the working group to create limit values for substances to be measured.

7. The group shared the opinion of OICA, but decided to leave the wording of the ToR unchanged.

16. A work item list was generated from this. To do: The countries and parties are requested to fill out the work item list with their proposal for a harmonized standard. (Send list to secretary, all parties, 2 November 2015)

8. Mr. Hyun-woo Lee presented the existing Korean test standard for vehicle interior air measurement. He explained the rationality behind the standard and its behind achievements since the first issue in 2004.

9. Mr. Yunshan Ge presented the existing guidelines for vehicle interior air measurement in China.

10. Ms. Zinaida Bulycheva presented the interior air test standard of Russia and explained why Russia is concentrating on the measurement of toxic gases from outside air. CO and NOx are especially more toxic then components emitted from interior parts.

11. Mr. Andreas Wehrmeier briefly summarized the rationale behind the ISO standard of vehicle interior air emission measurement and explained the most relevant parameters.

13. Mr. Mark Polster showed a comparison of measurement results of the different existing standards. He specifically indicated that changes in the measurement temperature, windows opening and soak time can have influence on the results.

12. Mr. Hartmut Kovacs explained the OICA/ACEA position regarding a common vehicle interior air measurement method. He clearly stated that OICA is promoting the ISO 12219-1 standard, because it is the most realistic test procedure.

1. The chair of the VIAQ Informal Working Group, Mr. JongSoon Lim, welcomed the participants.

Table prepared by the VIAQ informal group during its first session.

14. The group summarized the main parameters of the existing standards, in an Excel table. The task of the group in the next meetings will be to harmonize the deviations of the different standards.

Table prepared by the VIAQ group as the basis for harmonization.

Review of pros and cons for testing in ambient, parking, and driving modes.

EC position that VIAQ should follow ISO 12219-1 and focus testing on vehicles one month after production and with less than 50 km travel.

OICA supports transposing ISO 12219‐1 as a UN regulation.
