Working Party on General Safety | Session 109 | 29 Sep-2 Oct 2015
Geneva
Agenda Item 20.
Global Technical Regulation No. 6

56. The expert from the Republic of Korea, chairing the IWG on Panoramic Sunroof Glazing (PSG), reported on the outcome of the second meeting held in Geneva on 28 September 2015. He added that all the working papers as well as the meetings minutes were available on the website (www2.unece.org/wiki/display/trans/2nd+PSG+meeting). He informed GRSG that the group had agreed to supplement the Terms of Reference (adopted by GRSG at its previous session and reproduced in Annex V of the report ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/88) as follows:
Paragraph 3.1.(d), amend to read:

“(d) Develop amendments to UN GTR No. 6 and a complementing proposal to UN Regulation No. 43 in order to further clarify appropriate methods of testing and evaluating the mechanical strength of toughened glass with a focus on safety glazing and to specify the full scope of glass applications.”

57. GRSG welcomed the progress of work done by the IWG on PSG and endorsed the above-mentioned amendment to the Terms of Reference. Thus, GRSG agreed to only clarify the current scope of the Global Technical Regulation (GTR) and that there was no intention to enlarge the scope of the GTR, e.g. to include plastic glazing.

58. GRSG noted the intention of the IWG to convene again on 24 February 2016. It was agreed to resume consideration of this subject at the next GRSG session.
