CNG signage standardization process continues |

The European and International NGV Associations (ENGVA & IANGV) have continued a process to establish uniform CNG road signage around the world, meeting with the United Nations Working Party 1 (WP1) in April to formally present proposed symbols for the UN to adopt worldwide. WP1 is the governing body responsible for designating international road signage under the Vienna Convention of 1968. The proposal to adopt the signage was first put to WP1 by ENGVA in September 2003 and proposed designs were chosen by IANGV and ENGVA executives and officers. WP1 will consider the designs and will vote in September whether to give the proposal 'Consolidated Resolution' status. Though it may still be 3-5 years after that point before the signage is officially adopted by the Vienna Convention, Consolidated Resolution status will allow marketing of the logo to proceed, both in European countries and internationally. ENGVA has also been busy with harmonisation of European and international standards projects and successfully held their conference in Austria this month, which was attended by some 350 delegates. |
