The expert from OICA reported on the progress of the Task Force on Measurement Uncertainties (TF MU) (GRBP-71-04) and presented a strategy on how to handle measurement uncertainties in UN Regulations (GRBP-71-21). GRBP noted that the suggested approach could first apply to UN Regulations Nos. 51 and 117 and, at a later stage, to other UN Regulations as well.

10. Given the importance of this topic, GRBP decided to convert TF MU into an Informal Working Group on Measurement Uncertainties (IWG MU) and approved its Terms of Reference (GRBP-71-05, GRBP-71-31-Rev.1), as laid down in Annex IV. GRBP noted that IWG MU would be chaired by Norway, while OICA would act as secretary.
