Proposal to delete provisions concerning Technical Services (Schedule 2). Germany cannot support the introduction of these provisions because they would conflict with the European Commission proposal of 27 January 2016 to replace Directive 2007/46/EC and tighten EU legislation on the type approval of vehicles, especially with regard to the role of the Technical Services and the related requirements to assess the quality of Technical Services. Germany proposes modifications to the draft text that still envision the introduction of a new Schedule 2 at a later stage while noting that document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1059 would continue to govern Technical Services as a separate document until that time.

Tyre rolling resistance falls outside the scope of UN R0 because this attribute is used in the calculation of C02 emissions and IWVTA does not include UN R83 or UN R101.

UN R0 does not define or describe the family type (Type). Therefore, the first instance of an IWVTA should provide a type in order to establish the family type.

The Communication requirement of UN R0 follows that of the EC-WVTA and refers to the attachment of an information package. Germany proposes that this reference be replaced with an index of attachments referring to the relevant information document and test report(s).

Working draft prepared by Germany for the SLR informal group.

Revised version of the earlier proposal in document SLR-11-05.
