23. The Secretary of the IWG on VRU-Proxi also introduced GRSG-113-14 on the revised terms of references and rules of procedures of the IWG. GRSG welcomed the information received and adopted the terms of references and rules of procedures of the IWG as reproduced in Annex III to this report.
24. The expert from OICA introduced GRSG-113-17 to clarify the requirements of UN Regulation No. 46 on overlays in Camera Monitor Systems with respect of the spirit of the decisions of the IWG. The proposal received a number of comments. GRSG noted concerns of possible interpretation risks of the text in the three official languages. Following the discussion, GRSG agreed on the proposed English text as reflected in GRSG-113-17-Rev.1. The expert from OICA volunteered to submit, in due time, the proposed text in the three official languages for consideration by GRSG at its next session on the basis of an official document.
25. The expert from the Netherlands proposed to correct in UN Regulation No. 46 the communication form in Annex 3 (GRSG-113-31-Rev.1). GRSG adopted the proposal as reproduced below and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 as Corrigenda to Revisions 5 and 6 of UN Regulation No. 46 for consideration at their March 2018 sessions.
Annex 3, item 9, amend to read (replacing the letter “S” by class “VII” and keeping the reference to footnote 2 unchanged):
| "9. | Brief description |
| Identification of the device: mirror, camera/monitor, other devices for indirect vision of Classes I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII 2 Symbol as …… " |
26. The expert from Spain sought the advice of GRSG on the possibility to type approve a taximeter that is integrated into the indirect vision device of Class I (taximeter visible for the passenger) and that maintains the function of an interior mirror for the driver (GRSG-113-28). A number of GRSG experts were of the opinion that a type approval according to UN Regulation No. 46 as a separate technical unit would not be sufficient. The installation of such a device for indirect vision would need to be covered, in addition, by an approval granted to the vehicle manufacturer only. The expert from Germany explained that, for the after-market in Germany, a national approval for the installation of a device for indirect vision might be granted to the manufacturer of the device for indirect vision, if its installation is in line with the respective requirements of UN Regulation No. 46. The GRSG Chair invited all experts to send their written comments to the expert from Spain and suggested further discussion of this subject at other fora, such as the European Union Type Approval Authority Meetings.
