52. The expert from OICA recalled that the purpose of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2018/23 was to correct the scope of the UN Regulation. The expert from the Russian Federation proposed further editorial corrections and amendments (GRSG-116-15) which allow contracting parties to apply the relevant requirements to assess compliance of Accident Emergency Call Devices (AECD) designed for installation on vehicles of categories other than M1 and N1. The expert from OICA introduced GRSG-116-10 that clarified the application of an AECD approval and that proposed to continue with a new series of amendments that would give an appropriate lead time for the industry. Both proposals received general support and several comments. The expert from the Russian Federation welcomed the proposed amendments and volunteered to prepare two official documents for GRSG at its next session: (a) a draft supplement with the corrections and clarifications and (b) a draft 01 series of amendments with the broader scope and the transitional provisions.
53. GRSG welcomed that offer and agreed to resume consideration of this subject at its next session based on a revised, official documents by the Russian Federation.
