Paper presented at a Dutch Infra Congress 2016 held on 23 June 2016 concerning the potential benefits of a road labelling system.

Presentation on legal requirements (push) and public education/incentivization (pull) strategies to decrease road noise levels. The presentation especially addresses the Dutch interest in a road labeling system for rating road surface noise levels.

Proposal to consolidate provisions concerning ISOFIX anchorages systems, ISOFIX top tether anchorages and i-Size seating positions removed from Regulation No. 14 in a new regulation. This change removes obstacles to the inclusion of UN R14 into Annex 4 of the future UN Regulation No. 0 of the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA).

Working draft proposal to establish an informal working group to prepare the materials necessary for the management of the international whole vehicle type approval (IWVTA) process and for the exchange of type approval data (DETA). In particular, this group would include the type approval authorities in order to ensure coverage of all the remaining administrative and technical issues related to the IWVTA process.

Update on the Working Party discussions towards including additional UN Regulations within the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval system.

The question and answer document aims to clarify the operation of the international whole vehicle type approval system. This question would confirm that a Contracting Party may apply additional requirements taken from a UN Regulation beyond those regulations specifically required under a limited whole vehicle approval (L-IWVTA). The L-IWVTA partially applies the list of requirements for a “Universal International Whole Vehicle Approval” (U-IWVTA). A CP could list UN Regulations required for an L-IWVTA and then notify WP.29 of additional requirements taken from other UN Regulations.

The International Whole Vehicle Type Approval will involve granting whole vehicle approvals based upon component-level approvals granted to manufacturers (i.e., OEM suppliers) other than the manufacturer (i.e., vehicle maker) applying for the whole vehicle approval. This document provides comments solicited from EU type approval authorities regarding the management of this system of direct and indirect application of UN Regulation approvals to a whole vehicle.

Proposal to

• Clarify the minimum heights for markings of tyres with nominal rim diameter codes ≥ 20 and nominal section width ≤ 235
• Clarify the minimum heights for markings of tyres with nominal rim diameter codes < 20 and nominal section width > 235
• Correct the use of uppercase letters to denote dimensions where lowercase letters had been inserted
• Correct the paragraph numbering pursuant to the adoption of Supplement 21
• Delete a redundant note at the end of paragraph 6.1.5.3.3., and

Proposal to introduce new tyres size usually listed in Annex 5 in a new Resolution in order to simply maintenance of this annex and reduce the volume of amendments. This proposal includes changes regarding Improved Flexion (IF) tyres and Very high Flexion (VF) tyres. The proposal harmonizes with EU framework legislation for agricultural vehicles.
