Updated draft set of guidelines prepared by the WP.29 secretariat concerning the submission and adoption of modifications to UN Regulations, especially taking into consideration the pending Revision 3 to the 1958 Agreement which envisions, among other things, the acceptance to multiple “versions” of each regulation. This document covers: amendments resulting from draft Revision 3; publication of new series of amendments; long transitional provisions; versions of UN Regulations; use of cross-references; amendment commencement dates; consolidation of amendments to once per year; and use of “compilations” of modifications.

Table on the status of the proposals adopted at the November 2014 WP.29 session. These proposals, with one exception, became binding on 15 June 2015 following the six-month statutory waiting period.

Information on WP.29 plans to introduce an automated system that would generate consolidated versions of UN Regulations and GTR, including all amendments and corrections, at the time each enters info force. This system may also allow for the generation of earlier versions of each regulation according to the past date selected.
