Proposal for a Supplement to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 55 (EC)
Proposal for a Supplement to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 55
Proposal to ensure that coupling balls do not block rear lighting and/or registration plates. In line with the EU General Safety Rule, Annex IV specification for application of UN R55, couplings that might block lighting or plates must be removable, repositionable, and unlockable in order to make it easier for users to remove them or reposition them when not in use (e.g., towing a trailer.) Coupling balls that are so designed as to be unable to block lighting or plates may still incorporate locks and/or require tools to remove or reposition.

Proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 55
Proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 55
Proposal from the informal group on UN Regulation No. 55 to introduce provisions for coupling applications in multi-vehicle combinations ( e.g. rigid truck + dolly + semi-trailer) presently not addressed by the regulation.

Proposal for amendments to the informal document GRRF-81-06
Proposal for amendments to the informal document GRRF-81-06
Further refinements from the informal group on UN Regulation No. 55 to introduce provisions for modular vehicle combinations (e.g., rigid truck + semi-trailer + dolly). This proposal concerns a procedure to identify allowable combinations of performance values Dc and V for drawbar coupling equipment.

Proposal to establish an Informal Working Group on Mechanical Couplings for Agricultural Vehicles (Germany)
Proposal to establish an Informal Working Group on Mechanical Couplings for Agricultural Vehicles
One of the outcomes of the work on updating UN R55 was the recognition that agricultural couplings present a set of challenges distinct from other vehicles. Therefore, Germany proposes the establishment of an informal working group to develop a new regulations (UN R55-A) to respond to the specific needs of agricultural vehicle couplings.

Revised proposal to establish an IWG on Mechanical Couplings for Agricultural Vehicles (Germany and Netherlands)
Revised proposal to establish an IWG on Mechanical Couplings for Agricultural Vehicles
One of the outcomes of the work on updating UN R55 was the recognition that agricultural couplings present a set of challenges distinct from other vehicles. This revised proposal takes into account comments received during the February 2016 GRRF session for the establishment of an informal working group to develop a new regulation (UN R55-A) to respond to the specific needs of agricultural vehicle couplings.
