Working draft of the proposed IWVTA Regulation pursuant to the 10th SGR0 session.

Presentation of Australian concerns over incompatibilities between its local requirements for top-tether anchorages in child restraint systems and the provisions of UN R14. Since it wishes to participate fully in the IWVTA system, Australia proposes that UN R14 be transferred from the IWVTA List A (single global requirement) to List B (multiple requirements to account for regional differences). Australia also can thus accept UN R16 (occupant restraint systems) on List A. Australia needs more time to reach a position on UN R10 (electromagnetic compatibility).

WP.29 secretariat recommendation to delete paragraph 12 proposing introductory and transitional provisions for the draft UN Regulation No. 0 on whole vehicle approvals. Since the application of new regulations is voluntary and government authorities may decide if and when to apply them, the use of transitional provisions would be redundant.

Presentation by the secretariat to open discussion of issues related to the introduction of provisions for electrified vehicles and systems within the context of the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (which allows Contracting Parties to grant approvals under earlier series of amendments).

Status report to the Working Party on Pollution and Energy (GRPE).

Revisions to the proposed paragraphs 11, 12, and 13 concerning, respectively, Technical Services, procedures for amending the draft regulation on international whole vehicle type approvals, and provisions for Contracting Party acceptance of approvals. The document also addresses Annex 2 on approval markings and Annex 4 on limited whole vehicle approvals (L-IWVTA).

The proposed text is submitted for insertion into the draft Regulation (SGR0-11-03) in response to the action items noted in document SGR0-11-01.

Memorandum from the secretariat reporting on WP.29 subsidiary working party responses to the proposal for a common date of entry-into-force for new series of amendments to existing regulations. The Working Parties on Lighting and Light-signalling Equipment, General Safety, Passive Safety, and Pollution and Energy had no objections to setting a uniform annual date of September 1.
