Proposal to add a Q&A (#24) on the approach taken by a CP which accepts L-IWVTA
Reference Number: SGR0-23-06
The question and answer document aims to clarify the operation of the international whole vehicle type approval system. This question would confirm that a Contracting Party may apply additional requirements taken from a UN Regulation beyond those regulations specifically required under a limited whole vehicle approval (L-IWVTA). The L-IWVTA partially applies the list of requirements for a “Universal International Whole Vehicle Approval” (U-IWVTA). A CP could list UN Regulations required for an L-IWVTA and then notify WP.29 of additional requirements taken from other UN Regulations.
Response to the survey on addressing the diversity of manufacturers under an IWVTA approval
Reference Number: SGR0-23-07/Rev.1
The International Whole Vehicle Type Approval will involve granting whole vehicle approvals based upon component-level approvals granted to manufacturers (i.e., OEM suppliers) other than the manufacturer (i.e., vehicle maker) applying for the whole vehicle approval. This document provides comments solicited from EU type approval authorities regarding the management of this system of direct and indirect application of UN Regulation approvals to a whole vehicle.
