50. The GRSG Chair reported on the results achieved during the 114th session of GRSG (for more details see the report of the session ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/93).

51. GRSG had noted the recommendations by a task force on the research and conclusions of the final report on the severe collision between a coach and a heavy duty vehicle that occurred in Puisseguin, France on 23 October 2015 and had endorsed the request to develop a number of preventative measures to mitigate and even avoid such accidents in future. Thus, the GRSG Chair sought the consent of the World Forum to establish a new informal working group on the behaviour of the general construction of M2 and M3 vehicles in a fire event (BMFE), to be chaired by France.

52. WP.29 endorsed that request to set up a new IWG on BMFE.

53. Under the 1998 Agreement, GRSG had noted that the IWG on Panoramic Sunroof Glazing (PSG) made no work progress on amendments to Global Technical Regulation No. 6 (Safety glazing) and that, due to budget constraints, none of the expected research and testing activities on ceramic printed areas of glazing material had started. Thus, GRSG had requested the consent of WP.29 and AC.3 to extend the mandate of the IWG from June 2018 to April 2020.

54. WP.29 endorsed the request to extend the mandate of the IWG on PSG by another two years.
