82. The representative of Australia recalled the purpose of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRVA/2024/18, GRVA-19-05, and GRVA-19-56/Rev.1. He explained that the consultations were still ongoing. GRVA agreed to keep these documents on the agenda for the January 2025 session.
83. GRVA resumed consideration of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRVA/2024/19 as amended by GRVA-20-10, GRVA-20-11, and GRVA-20-12, providing provisions for AEBS virtual testing. The representative of OICA supported the proposal. He asked that GRVA review the 30 percent value (number of tests required to be performed physically) at a later stage. The representative of Japan also supported the proposal. He asked for details on how the 30 percent value was determined. The representative of Canada expressed a similar interest in the method for determining this value. The representative of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland supported the robust proposal. The representative of Norway saw potential significant savings thanks to that proposal. He inquired about the skills needed for the Approval Authority to assess a simulation tool chain, differing from the skills for validating test results. The representative of Spain drew the attention of GRVA to the Conformity of Production (CoP) and stated that if the approval was based on simulation, a different method would be needed for performing the CoP tests. The representative of France explained that the 30 percent value was an empirical value.
84. GRVA adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRVA/2024/19 as amended by GRVA-20-10/Rev.1 (see Annex IV), GRVA-20-11/Rev.1, and GRVA-20-12/Rev.1 and requested the secretariat to submit the draft Supplement 7 to the original version, draft Supplement 6 to the 01 series of amendments, and draft Supplement 4 to the 02 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 152 (AEBS of M1 and N1) for consideration and vote by WP.29 and AC.1 at their March 2025 sessions.
