The world forum and the United Nations vehicle agreements

The UNECE World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations, also known as WP.29 is the worldwide regulatory forum in which relevant stakeholders from the world are participating. Three UN Agreements, adopted in 1958, 1997 and 1998, provide a legal framework allowing Contracting Parties to establish internationally harmonized regulatory instruments concerning the certification of motor vehicles, their equipment and parts, and rules for technical inspections of vehicles in use. The regulatory framework developed by the World Forum allows the mass market introduction of innovative vehicle technologies, while continuously improving global vehicle safety, energy efficiency and environmental performance.
