Working Party on Brakes and Running Gear | Session 80 | 15-18 Sep 2015
Geneva
Agenda Item 5. (a)
UN Regulation No. 78

21. The expert from IMMA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2015/21 proposing a wording to include Electromagnetic Compatibility requirements in Regulation No. 78. GRRF agreed with the principles of the proposal stating that an approval according to Regulation No. 10 is not a prerequisite for obtaining an approval according to Regulation No. 78. GRRF preferred to harmonise the wording of the proposal with the one in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2013/13 and adopted the proposal as reproduced in Annex IV to the session report and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their June 2016 sessions, as SupplementĀ 3 to the 03 series of amendments to Regulation No. 78.

22. The expert from EC introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2015/42, 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 L6 and L7 category vehicles, some experts were of the opinion that transitional provisions would be necessary. The expert from EC volunteered to prepare a revised proposal for the February 2016 session of GRRF.

23. GRRF reviewed ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2015/41 and GRRF-80-24 under agenda item 5(b) below.
