Arbitration process through WP.29 and its subsidiary Working Parties

The Chairs of the subsidiary Working Parties shall identify the issues arising from diverging interpretations between Contracting Parties in relation to the application of UN Regulations and the granting of UN type approvals pursuant to these UN Regulations, with a view to put in place measures at the earliest opportunity to resolve the different interpretations.

The Chairs of the Working Parties will develop suitable procedures to deal with such interpretation issues, in order to be able to demonstrate to WP.29 that:

a) Full consideration is given to the different opinions by the approval authorities of the Contracting Parties concerned, as well as to the views of other Contracting Parties applying the UN Regulation;

b) Decisions are based upon appropriate technical advice, taking full account of the subject area;

c) Wherever possible, an unanimous decision is reached; and

d) Procedures are transparent and auditable.

If necessary to resolve the issue, the Chair may submit a new agenda item on the issue to the next available session of the subsidiary Working Party, without obtaining prior approval from WP.29. In these circumstances, the Chair shall report on the progress to WP.29 at the earliest opportunity.

At the end of the arbitration process, the Chair shall provide a report to WP.29.

3.1. Where the issue can be resolved within the current regulatory framework:

The interpretation of the UN Regulation as agreed in the Working Party shall be implemented and approval authorities shall issue UN type approvals accordingly.

3.2. Where the issue cannot be resolved within the current regulatory framework:

WP.29 shall be informed accordingly and shall request the relevant subsidiary Working Party to consider the issue as a priority item at its next session. The agenda of the session shall be amended accordingly.

The subsidiary Working Party shall consider any proposal on the interpretation issue and shall submit formal proposals to WP.29 to amend the UN Regulation concerned following the normal procedures. WP.29 will consider the issue as a priority item at its next session.
