  1. Informal document No. WP.29-147-17 (147th WP.29, 10 - 13 March 2009, agenda item 19.) Global Harmonisation OICA Comments UN/ECE/WP.29/AC3 March 2009

  2. OICA Principles • OICA continues to support the principle of global harmonisation of vehicle regulations. • While there are certain positive examples, experience has shown that the process can be difficult and costly and that the results may not always reach the desired outcome. • OICA continuously examines a wide range of subjects to evaluate likely benefit, expected difficulty and chance of success.

  3. Global Harmonization Work Program • OICA supports the existing work program on the development of new gtr's or the amendment of existing ones. • Possible new items could be • the amendment to gtr-6 (Safety Glazing) to include Plastic Glazing • Common Repository for test tool definitions • Similar to US Part 572 • Start with Hybrid III dummy • Possibly use Consolidated Resolution R.E.3 ? • Other proposals may follow at a later date.

  4. Procedural issues • No mechanism for application dates in gtr, whether new gtr or amendment • Technical regulations should contain lead-time provisions (see § 4.1.3.3. of 1998 Agreement), but currently do not • Clear process needed when amending existing gtr to incorporate new test tools: • Transitional Provisions • Orderly transition

  5. Procedural issues - 2 • Development of a GTR: • Need to remain performance oriented • Need to provide adequate level of safety / environmental protection, justified for all CP’s and with significantly positive cost/benefit ratio • Need to waive “options” with contradictory provisions • Not automatically mandate latest existing technical applications • Assessment of chances for successful completion upfront.

  6. Thank you!
