  1. Transmitted by OICADocument No. IWVTA-SGR0-02-02 IWVTA: UN-Regulation No.0 Flexible scheme allowing for different levels of requirements in different Contracting Parties

  2. Basic Principles • All CPs applying R-0 must accept approvals to the latest level (=series of amendments) of any UN-Regulation annexed to R-0 * • However, a CP may declare that it will accept an earlier version of any such UN-Regulation • This leads to 2 different types of IWVTA approvals • Universal IWVTA: the manufacturer provides in his application approvals to the level of all annexed Regulations as specified in R-0 this IWVTA has to be accepted by all CPs applying UN R-0 • IWTVA of limited recognition: any CP can declare that for some or all annexed Regulations they are satisfied with approvals to earlier versions or no approvals at alla transparent method is required to determine whether the approval can be accepted in a given CP • The following slides explain how this evaluation can be achieved by a commonly available tool * a seperate discussion is necessary how to resolve the situation that CPs cannot accept the latest version on their territory e.g. because of fuel quality. However, this is seen as a topic independent of UN-R 0.

  3. Evaluation Concept Repository of requirements Manufacturer´s application Acceptanceevaluationtool Acceptance table ü ü

  4. How to handle if-fitted requirements • The evaluation concept can also be used to handle if-fitted requirements (as listed in table 2 of Annex 4 Part A of document IWVTA-09-08) • Guidance is needed with respect to 2 options: • If a CP does not mandate a system, this means it imposes no requirements even if the system is fitted voluntarily • If a system is fitted voluntarily then the requirements of the respective Regulation from table 2 must be met even if the system is not required in a CP

  5. Consideration of options for if-fitted requirements Option a) • Evaluation isstraightforward • Onlyinformationaboutapprovals in themanufacturersapplicationisnecessary Option b) • In additiontotheapprovalsthemanufacturersapplicationneedstoincludeinformationaboutthefittingstatusofsystems (=necessityofapprovalsforvoluntarilyfittedsystems) • This will verylikelyleadtodiscussionswhether a voluntarilyfittedsystemisreallyofthe type coveredbytheif-fitted Regulation oronly „similar“ (= whethertheapprovalisnecessaryor not) For a transparent IWVTA process OICA recommendadoptionofoption a)

  6. Exemplary acceptance evaluation tool (1 of 3) • Usepresentationmodewhenviewingthisslide !!! • All entries in tablesareforillustrationonlyandmay not reflecttherequirementsof a CP • The tableconsistsof 3 sections: Manufacturers application Requirements for CPs Requirements for universal IWVTA series of amendments no requirement

  7. Exemplary acceptance evaluation tool (2 of 3) • Manufacturer´s application is identical to R-0 content • Requirements of EU, Japan and Russia are identical with R-0,but no or lower requirements for Malaysia and South Africa in some cases Example 1: • The approval will be accepted in all CPs

  8. Exemplary acceptance evaluation tool (3 of 3) • Manufacturer does not provide an ESC certifcate • As a consequence EU, Japan and Russia will not accept the approval. This is displayed by red markings. However, the approval will be accepted in Malaysia and South Africa (no red markings in column)* Example 2: * under the hypothesis of option a) for if-fitted systems

  9. Exemplary acceptance evaluation tool: comprehensive table • A more comprehensive table is provided as an attachment for testing purposes • It is based on the list of candidate Regulations and lists all CPs (except EC Member states which have harmonized requirements and are covered by the column EC) • Note that all entries concerning the required series of amendment are for illustration only and do not prejudge any decisions of CPs • The table can be used to test the concept by either changing the content of the manufacturer´s application or the required levels in CPs. Whenever the application is not „sufficient“ for a CP, the corresponding box will be marked in red. • evaluation_tool.xlsx

  10. Possible future extension of the approach • When moving from step1 to step 2 of the implementation strategy for IWVTA* the presented approach can easily be generalized • Respective national requirements are simply added to the table • For these only 1 CP requires the corresponding approvals • This is illustrated for some elements of EC-WVTA for which currently no UN-Regulation exists in the 3rd sheet of evaluation_tool.xlsx(added entries compared to first sheet marked in yellow) * See Document IWVTA-04-10 by OICA: stepwise introduction scenario
