Proposal for an informal expert group to exchange information and develop recommendations concerning vehicle interior air quality as it relates to emissions of volatile organic compounds or aldehydes from materials used in vehicle interior which are harmful to humans. The proposal envisions the development of test procedures to measure such emissions for incorporation as recommendations within the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (RE3 under the 1958 Agreement), Special Resolution 1 (SR1 under the 1998 Agreement), or as a new Mutual Resolution (covering both agreements).

OICA proposal to emphasize a focus on building from existing industry measurement techniques and other standards as well as to clarify the subject of the group on vehicle “interior” rather than “indoor” air quality.
