| 1958 Agreement | 1958 Agreement | WP.29 Agreements and Resolutions | Agreement Concerning the Adoption of Uniform Technical Prescriptions for Wheeled Vehicles, Equipment and Parts which can be Fitted and/or be Used on Wheeled Vehicles and the Conditions for Reciprocal Recognition of Approvals Granted on the Basis of these Prescriptions The 1958 Agreement regulates the functioning of the international system for the recognition of type approvals under UN Regulations. The Agreement specifies how regulations are to be established and how the system operates whereby an approval under a given regulation accorded by one country can be accepted by all other countries applying that regulation. The program to establish an international system for whole vehicles (as opposed to the current focus on individual vehicle components and systems) includes an important restructuring of the 1958 Agreement. Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement enters into force on 14 September 2017. 1958 Agreement 1958 Agreement United Nations Agreement 1958 Agreement | Agreement | |

| MR 2: VPSD | Mutual Resolution No. 2: Vehicle Propulsion System Definitions | WP.29 Agreements and Resolutions | Certain UN Regulations and UN GTR, including texts under development, include terms, definitions, and classifications relating to vehicle powertrain systems (e.g., electric vehicle, fuel cell vehicle), energy storage systems (e.g., fuel tank, gas cylinder, battery), and energy converter (e.g., internal combustion engine, fuel cell, electric machine). However, the definition of these terms varies across the regulations which can lead to confusion and inconsistencies in the application of regulatory requirements. Mutual Resolution No. 2 is intended as a repository for terms, acronyms, and definitions towards ensuring their uniform use across regulations.

| MR 3: VIAQ | Mutual Resolution No. 3: Vehicle Interior Air Quality (VIAQ) | WP.29 Agreements and Resolutions | Korea raised this issue in June 2013 in response to reports of vehicle occupant headaches, dizziness, and other symptoms thought to be linked with evaporative emissions originating with the chemical compounds used in the construction of vehicle interiors. The particular concern is that the use of certain volatile organic compounds and other chemicals in adhesives and interior plastics may be generating noxious fumes, especially in hot conditions.
