This document reports on the review by the GR of the regulations under consideration for inclusion in the international whole vehicle type approval system. The aim is to establish IWVTA based upon a first set of regulations easily transposed to the whole vehicle system. A second phase would address regulations requiring significant revision to reach consensus.

Presentation to review the draft regulation that would enable the international type approval of whole vehicles.

List of issues with comments concerning open aspects related to the explanatory note under development for the IWVTA UN Regulation No. 0.

Explanatory document in question and answer form to introduce and explain the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval system and its “UN Regulation 0”.

Suggested revisions to the draft IWVTA regulation (with reference to document SGR0-02-04/Rev.4).

Figures illustrating coverage of UN Regulations applicable to the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval system (proposed UN Regulation 0) as a function of the application of the UN Regulations by the various Contracting Parties to the 1958 Agreement.

This proposal concerns documents SGR0-02-04-Rev.4 and IWVTA-SGR0-08-08, paragraph 13.4. Both documents contain provisions whereby Contracting Parties accepting approvals to earlier versions of individual regulations or accepting the absence of such approvals shall notify the UN secretariat. This proposal clarifies that this obligation applies both to parties using the Limited IWVTA (i.e., approvals to lower stringency levels) and the Universal IWVTA (i.e., approvals to the latest versions of each regulation).

Proposal for the answer to question 7 of the draft Q&A: How can a Contracting Party use the international whole vehicle type approval scheme?

Proposed changes to documents SGR0-05-03-Rev.2 (“IWVTA Explanatory Note") and SGR0-06-06-Rev.2 (“Request for guidance from WP.29 on upgrade of UN Regulation No. 0”).

Transmitted by the experts of the subgroup on UN R0 pursuant to their 9th session held during 21-22 January 2014 (Document SGR0-08-13-rev.1).
