Lahore High Court (LHC) has instructed the Engineering Development Board (EDB) to make sure that airbags are properly installed in locally manufactured cars.
According to some sources the Secretary Auto Industry Development Committee (AIDC) has told this during the previous conference of the Auto Industry Development Committee (AIDC) conducted at the Board of Investment (BOI)
Secretary AIDC addressed the meeting and told that Pakistan has embraced WP Regulations and has been assigned the symbol E-64 for authorized communication. The Engineering Development Board (EDB) and the Ministry of Industries and Production delivered guidelines stated in the relevant table as an addition to the agreement document, but the annex sent by EDB has not been sent by the UN Secretary-General Office to WP 29 Secretariat in Geneva.
The EDB was looking for explanation from WP 29 Secretariat, which was responded to by foreign counterparts. Pakistan can now go for any instruction under the 1958 Agreement other than the agreed guidelines. He clarified that no joining charges, no lab set-up is necessary for the implementation of WP-29 regulations. He additionally cleared up that third-party certification or certification by the principal, if official, can be acknowledged by EDB.
