Agenda Item 3. (c)
Regulations Nos. 13 and 13-H: Clarifications

11. The Chair of GRRF recalled the purpose of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2013/13, adopted during the seventy-fifth GRRF session. The document remained on the agenda of GRRF, pending submission to the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) and the Administrative Committee of the 1958 Agreement (AC.1) of the adopted text for Regulation No. 89 (Speed limitation devices).

12. The expert from the Netherlands introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2017/2 proposing to delete an obsolete provision in Annex 5 to Regulation No. 13. He recalled the context of this proposal, originally suggested by the expert from the Netherlands the ninety-nine session of the Working Party on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (WP.15) and considered at the 168th session of WP.29 (WP.29-168-16). He added that this proposal took into consideration the comments received at the previous session of GRRF (see ECE/TRANS/WP29/GRRF/82, para. 11).

13. GRRF adopted the proposal and requested the secretariat to keep it on the agenda for the next session.

14. The expert from CLEPA presented ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2016/27, as amended by GRRF-82-03. Following discussions, the experts from the European Commission and from CLEPA presented GRRF-83-31. GRRF agreed to resume consideration of this subject and requested the secretariat to distribute this informal document with an official symbol at its September 2017 session.

15. The expert from Germany presented GRRF-83-07 based on ECE/TRANS/WP29/GRRF/2016/26, originally tabled by the expert from France. GRRF noted that the proposed amendment to para. 2.2.18. in Annex 12 already existed and the wording proposed could be clarified. GRRF agreed to resume consideration of this proposal on the basis of an official working document that the experts from Germany and France volunteered to prepare.
