Addendum from GRRF to include provisions for PSI or kilopascal (kPa) markings and to clarify inflation pressure under the test procedures in the proposal for Supplement 9.

83. The World Forum considered the draft amendments under agenda items 4.8.1 to 4.8.9 and recommended their submission to AC.1 for voting, subject to the following corrections:

In ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2018/53, page 2: for “Supplement 15” read “Supplement 16”,
In ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2018/59/Add.1, correct to read:
Insert the missing amendment to former paragraph 3.2.10, to read:

84. WP.29 referred informal documents WP.29-175-04 and WP.29-175-05 to the appropriate GR for further consideration.

In order to have a Regulation on the retreaded tyres with definitions and provisions structured in the same way of those previously introduced in amendments of “new tyres” Regulations, this amendment:

1. Indicates that for the purpose of this Regulation “tyres” means “pneumatic tyres”, so all the text has been reviewed
2. Introduces a definition of :
   • “retreader” copy based on that “manufacturer” in the tyres regulations
   • Brand name", “Trademark”, “Trade description” and “Commercial name” as defined in the tyre regulations
   • Material manufacturer / material supplier
3. Takes into account the rounding rules (already approved in the other tyre regulations) for the calculation of width and diameter of the tyres
4. Aligns the title and the provisions of the para. 12 related to the names and addresses of Technical Services, Approved Laboratories and administrative Department with their equivalent in the tyres regulations

Pursuant to Supplement 21 to UN R54 replacing PSI with kPa to indicate tyre inflation pressures, UN R109 requires updating. This proposal would allow both markings under UN R109 because the life cycle of the carcasses spans several years.

33. The expert from France presented ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2018/9, aimed at harmonizing the definitions and provisions in Regulation No. 109 with those introduced in UN Regulations Nos. 30, 54 and 117. The expert from ETRTO introduced GRRF-86-24, proposing amendment to this proposal. GRRF adopted the proposal as amended by Annex VI (of the session report) and requested the secretariat to submit it as draft supplement 9 (note: corrected by GAR from Supplement 4 in the published report.) to UN Regulation No. 109. GRRF requested the secretariat to address corrections to the French version of the document suggested by the expert from France.
