Report of the 14th session of the informal group developing an electronic Data Exchange for Type Approval information.

Proposal from the DETA informal group to make the use of the Database for the Exchange of Type Approval (DETA) information system mandatory for the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA) system, also known as UN Regulation 0, also under development.

The informal group working on an International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA) system envisions changes to the 1958 Agreement and the establishment of a UN R0 (IWVTA regulation). The Data Exchange for Type Approvals informal group offers proposals in this regard.

OICA perspectives on permissions that should be given to different types of users of the proposed DETA system to create, read, write, edit, and destroy type approval files.

OICA perspectives on potential benefits to various types of users, including vehicle manufacturers and their component suppliers, that might justify the eventual costs of the proposed DETA system.

Proposed revision to the 1958 Agreement language in order to provide a framework for the deployment of DETA.

Further refinements to the proposed revision to the 1958 Agreement that would provide the framework for deployment of DETA.
