Interpretation issues subsequent to UN type approval being granted

In situations where different interpretations exist between Contracting Parties but subsequent to an approval being issued the following procedures shall be followed.

In the first instance, the Contracting Parties concerned shall seek to resolve the issue by mutual agreement. This will require liaison and for each Contracting Party to review the procedures used to test and approve the wheeled vehicles, equipment and parts being the subject of the interpretation dispute. The following procedures will be applied:

a) In the event of an error being acknowledged by an approval authority, the approval authority shall take an action in accordance with the provisions of the 1958 Agreement, and in particular its Article 4.

b) Where agreement is reached which necessitates a new or different interpretation of existing practice (by either Contracting Party), then this shall be communicated to other Contracting Parties applying the UN Regulation concerned as a matter of urgency. The other Parties shall have fourteen days to comment upon the decision, following which the approval authorities, having taken account of any comments received, can issue UN type approvals in accordance with the new interpretation.

c) Where agreement cannot be reached, then the Contracting Parties concerned shall seek further review by the arbitration process described in paragraph 3 below.

d) In any event, the matter shall be brought to the attention of the competent Working Party subsidiary to the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29). If deemed necessary, the subsidiary Working Party shall submit to WP.29 proposals for suitable regulatory amendments aimed at resolving the difference of interpretations.
