Agenda Item 4. (a)
UN Regulation No. 46 (Devices for indirect vision)

11. The expert from Germany, Chair of TF on UN Regulation No. 46 (Devices for indirect vision) introduced a status report (GRSG-127-28). He then introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2024/13 explaining that TF had considered a proposal submitted by the expert from Germany to start discussion on approving vehicles with battery master switches, in the framework of UN Regulation No. 105, that are fitted with a camera monitor system that complies with the requirements of UN Regulation No. 46. He added that the requirement may conflict with paragraph 16.1.1. of UN Regulation No. 46 which requires that, after each engine switch-off (intended use), the camera-monitor system remains operational for at least 120 seconds. Therefore, he introduced GRSG-127-04-Rev.2 to amend the UN Regulation. Finally GRSG adopted GRSG-127-04-Rev.2 as reproduced in annex II of this report. The secretariat was requested to submit GRSG-127-04-Rev.2, as draft Supplement 1 to the 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 46 for consideration and vote to the November 2024 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1. Meanwhile, GRSG agreed to continue discussing the outcome of the TF work and to resolve the remaining issues at its October 2024 session.

12. As per paragraph 10, the expert from the Netherlands introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2024/21 (as amended by GRSG-127-24-17). GRSG adopted the proposal as amended below and requested the secretariat to submit them as part (see paragraph 11 above) of draft Supplement 1 to the 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 46 for consideration and vote to the November 2024 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1.
