Working Party on Brakes and Running Gear | Session 78 | 16-19 Sep 2014
Geneva
Agenda Item 9. (a)
Regulation No. 79 (Steering equipment)

40. At the request of the authors of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/19, GRRF agreed to withdraw the document. Instead, the expert from CLEPA introduced GRRF-78-44 supporting GRRF-78-27 on requirements to be met in cases where braking and steering systems have the same energy source. The proposed amendment attempted to clarify and align the wording of this UN Regulation No. 79 with that of UN Regulation No. 13-H. Following the discussion, GRRF agreed to revisit this subject at its February 2015 session on the basis of a revised proposal by CLEPA taking into account the comments received.

41. The expert from CLEPA, on behalf of CLCCR, introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/8 aimed at removing a design restriction from UN Regulation No. 79 that prevents the approval of new technologies. He explained that the proposal was not intended for immediate adoption and he invited all interested experts to send him their comments (colin.ross@meritor.com). GRRF agreed to resume consideration of this matter on the basis of a revised proposal by CLEPA.
