World Forum for the Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations | Session 166 | 23-26 Jun 2015
Geneva
Agenda Item 3.5.2.
Working Party on General Safety Provisions (GRSG) (108th session, 4-8 May 2015)

26. The Chair of GRSG informed WP.29 about the results achieved during the 108th session of GRSG (for more, details see ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/87).

27. He reported that GRSG had adopted the Terms of Reference of IWG on Panoramic Sunroof Glazing (PSG): annexed to the sessions report. He underlined the fact that sunroofs were not covered by the current scope of GTR No. 6 and that GRSG would need to review the scope. WP.29 recommended that AC.3 should consider the need to extend the scope of UN GTR. 6.

28. He informed WP.29 about discussions in GRSG on a new Regulation on Event Data Recorder (EDR) for automated vehicles. He sought guidance from WP.29 on the need to develop the new Regulation. WP.29 recommended that IWG on ITS/AD should be informed about this future activity by GRSG and then coordinate the work on automated vehicles within the subsidiary Working Parties. ITS/AD should consider the need to develop such a new Regulation on EDR and the extent of its content. The EU representative expressed a reservation on starting discussions and developments of this new Regulation on EDR. She informed WP.29 that a consultation of Council and Parliament was required before giving consent to start this activity.
