Informal Group on Amendments to UN R55.01 | Session 12 | 14-15 Jan 2016
Paris
Agenda Item 5.8.
Item 29 (Drawbar a separate technical unit)

The most recent proposal was from Mr. Bröckling saying that all drawbar are subject to approval in accordance with regulation 55. No new facts had come to the table. Mr. Svensson was observing according to the earlier discussion on this subject that some drawbars will be hard to test. It might then be tempting to use a calculation based procedure for approval. That calls according to Mr. Svensson for a stricter handling of calculations. It was agreed to go forward with the proposal from Mr. Bröckling subject to the calculation procedures of Annex 6 §1.1. get stricter. It was also noted that. Next meeting.
