Draft proposal for submission to the March 2018 WP.29 session requesting authorization to pursue:

1. Revision of UN Regulations as warranted with regard to facilitation of vehicle technical inspections,
2. Development of inspection countermeasures against tampering (target: June 2019),
3. Guidance on the establishment of in-use performance requirements for equipment and systems (target: November 2019),
4. Consistency between the 1968 Vienna Convention (traffic rules) and the 1997 Vienna Agreement (vehicle inspections),
5. Prescriptions for inspection of highly automated and autonomous vehicles (draft proposal June 2019),
6. Guidance for education and certification of PTI inspectors, PTI quality assurance, and testing centres, and
7. Uniform provisions for the inspection of wheeled agricultural and forestry tractors with regard their roadworthiness.
