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.

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.
