Q2Why it changed

Proposed by
Informal Working Group on the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval
Working party
WP.29, 187th session (June 2022)

Reasons

  • All component lamp/signalling approvals are required under UN Regulation No. 48. This is why Annex 4 no longer lists the component lamp/signalling approvals.

  • Keep the component lamp/signalling approvals that UN Regulation No. 48 requires, although Annex 4 no longer lists them.
  • For IWVTAs first issued on or after 1 September 2023, apply for the 05 series of amendments.

Component supplier

  • No direct action for this role.

Technical service / Approval authority

  • Use the new list in Annex 4, Part A, Section I for each U-IWVTA to the 05 series.
  • Check the component lamp/signalling approvals under UN Regulation No. 48, not as Annex 4 entries.
