3. (a) UN Regulations Nos. 68, 83, 101 and 103

7. The representative from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2020/10 amended by GRPE-81-21 permitting the usage, in UN Regulation No. 83, of the calibration and maintenance intervals from UN GTR No. 15 for test facilities capable of testing to that UN GTR. GRPE endorsed the proposal to amend the 05, 06 and 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 83, as amended by Annex IV of the session report.

8. GRPE requested the secretariat to submit Annex IV to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their November 2020 sessions as draft Supplements 13, 15 and 12 to the 05, 06 and 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 83 respectively.

9. The Chair briefly introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2020/92 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2020/93 that were submitted to the June 2020 session of WP.29 from EU and Japan as amendments to the new UN Regulation No. [154] on WLTP already adopted by GRPE during the January 2020 session. Both documents proposed changes to improve the text emerging from the development of Amendment 6 to UN GTR No. 15. GRPE noted the amendments and thanked the Informal Working Group (IWG) on WLTP and the Contracting Parties (CPs) involved in the preparation of these documents.

10. The representative from OICA introduced GRPE-81-30 and GRPE-81-35, amended by GRPE-81-29-Rev.1 during the session. These documents contained clarifications to UN Regulation No. [154] on WLTP. As requested during the last session of GRPE (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/80, para. 15), these documents were aimed at providing guidance to future users of UN Regulation No. [154] on WLTP. The secretariat then introduced GRPE-81-36 presenting various options to provide visibility to such clarification / guidance documents. GRPE agreed to create a new section on the GRPE website, similar to those appearing in the GRE and GRBP sections, under " Documents for reference only", where GRPE-81-29-Rev.1 would be uploaded.

11. The Chair requested GRPE to have GRPE-81-19 introduced under agenda item 5 as GRPE-81-18 planned under that agenda item dealt with a similar issue.
