Report on discussions concerning the feasibility of a new UN Regulation on uniform provisions for the approval of pre-cured tread materials used for producing retreaded tyres or the approval of retreaded tyres produced by using mould cure process with regard to their snow performance.

Proposal to supersede GRBP/2023/10 with a more flexible approach appropriate for covering the operations of small retreaders.

Proposal to ensure that the test procedures for retreaded tyres are aligned with the text adopted by WP.29 per document WP.29/2021/8 for UN R117.

The prescription given in paragraph 3.5.2., which will be implemented through document WP.29/2022/7/Rev.1 adopted by WP.29, contradicts the previously existing prescription in paragraph 3.2.9. This proposal aims to resolve the contradiction by amending paragraph 3.5.2. to introduce a reference to the prescriptions given in paragraph 3.2.9.
