This will be the 18th in the series of DVN Regulatory Sessions, bringing together the newly launched China Automobile Standards Internationalisation Centre (CASIC), based in Geneva, and five of the major leaders from the Chinese SAC/TC114/SC21 Committee responsible for the drafting of the GB Standards, and GTB along with its Chinese member C-GTB. The session will be led by Geoff Draper, who has recently stepped out of his retirement to join DVN as Senior Regulatory Advisor.
Firstly, Ms. Wang Wei of SMVIC, the Secretary of SAC/TC114/SC21 will present a very interesting report on “Progress of SAC/TC114/SC21 to update GB Standards and standards for the 14th Five-Year Plan”. This is surely a major interest for the DVN community in the context of High-Tech innovation.
Ms. Zhu Caiping of Xingyu Lighting and Vice Chair of C-GTB has prepared a very detailed report on “Some Hot topics in the Drafting Process of new GB Regulations on Light Signalling Devices”. This will be an interesting insight into the priorities of the Chinese lighting community.
Rainer Neuman of Varroc and Chairman of the GTB WG-SVP will provide the latest status on “Current and Planned Research Projects Sponsored by the GTB Scientific Working Group (SVP). This activity is crucial to the successful adoption of regulatory amendments for new technologies.
Davide Puglisi, GTB Secretary General, has prepared a progress report on the “Main GTB activities at the UN-GRE in Geneva. He will also talk about the time required to introduce new functions into the UN Regulations and the impact of exemption approvals for new technologies.
Finally, but very importantly, DVN is honoured to welcome Xie Dongming of CATARC, who is Vice-President and Chief Representative of CASIC, based in Geneva. Xie Dongming has prepared a presentation to explain the CASIC organisation and its objectives. This will be the first time for CASIC to be introduced to the public and we are sure that this is a significant moment for the lighting community.
The session will reach its climax with an all-Chinese panel session involving the above-mentioned speakers who will be joined by Bu WeiLi of SMVIC, who is Secretary General of SAC/TC114/SC21 and He Yuntang of CATARC, President of C-GTB. This will be a live panel to debate the question “Could the recently launched China Automobile Standards Internationalisation Centre be the key to synchronise the adaption to technical progress of the GB standards and the UN Regulations?”.
