Conclusions of the Session 3: Co-ordination with ISO and ECE - Vehicles

Chair: Mr. Stoll (BMW)

The workshop identified 4 proposals for an improvement of EIHP work:

1. The first proposal was to identify the existing EC-directives which are affected by hydrogen vehicles and to adopt the directives to hydrogen vehicles.

After discussion the group agreed with the present EIHP procedure (to elaborate a draft proposal for an ECE Regulation).

After presenting the draft to the relevant ECE bodies, some lobby work has to be done in order to introduce the draft also to EEC.

The remaining related EEC directives have to be changed accordingly

2. Before issuing the draft proposal to ECE, the EIHP partners should also talk about the process on how to present the draft proposal to ECE.

3. The work of the different ISO and IEC committees should be monitored or even preferably, experts should be sent to the ISO working group meetings.

4. EIHP should try to get the commitment of the partners' companies indicating their will for a continuation of the work.
