Mr Hansen gave a short report from the GRRF session in September of 2012. An informal document with the proposal for Terms of Reference (ToR) had been submitted from Germany to the GRRF. However at the actual meeting the time schedule was so tight, that it was decided to postpone this subject to the February 2013 session. Faced with this situation the working group still decided that this second meeting will proceed as planned and according to the proposed ToR.

Further information from the GRRF was that there was a new chairman and a new secretary. The secretary was Mr. Fransois Guichard who had left Daimler AG to take on this assignment.

Of relevance to this working group it was also noted that the ToR for the informal working group ACV was extended to address road trains in connection to the regulation 13. The ACV group has just prepared a draft proposal to amend ECE R55. This proposal should be taken into account regarding item5 (innovating products to class S) and item 11 (remote indication) and item 18 (remote controls).
