Agenda Item 5. (a)
Regulation No. 78

19. The expert from IMMA presented GRRF-79-16, proposing Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements to be introduced in Regulation No. 78. The proposal received some comments. The expert from EC recommended to consider the existing wording applied to other vehicle categories (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2013/13). The expert from IMMA volunteered to prepare a revised proposal for the September 2015 session of GRRF.

20. The expert from EC introduced GRRF-79-16, proposing to apply to tricycles the existing Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS) requirements for Powered Two Wheelers (PTWs). The proposal was accepted in principle as it proposed a harmonization with the corresponding EU directive. As the proposed wording would also affect other L-category vehicles, the expert from EC volunteered to prepare a revised proposal for the September 2015 session of GRRF.

21. The expert from EC introduced GRRF-79-18, proposing to clarify the possibility to install means to temporarily reduce or disable the ABS function of motorcycles in certain conditions. The proposal received some comments and the expert from EC volunteered to prepare a revised proposal for the September 2015 session of GRRF.
