Text as approved by the GRRF and prepared by the UN R55 informal group to update this regulation with respect to:
a) Requirements on remote indication,
b) Availability of information on coupling fixing points for A50X couplings,
c) On lateral strength of drawbars, and
d) a new class definition for fully automatic drawbar couplings.

17. The Chair of the IWG on Regulation No. 55 introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2015/34, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2015/35, and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2015/36 presenting the outcome of the work done by the group and taking into account the comments received at the previous sessions of GRRF.

18. GRRF adopted the proposals, as reproduced Annex III (based on GRRF-80-41) to the session report and requested the secretariat to submit them to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their March 2016 sessions, as Supplement 5 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 55.

Mr. Lescail remarkerd that in the consolidated document the angle denomination on page 10 shall be in Greek characters. The formula on page 8 shall be stricken through.

There was a general discussion on consolidated documentation with respect to the different regulations and in our case specifically on regulation 55. It was noted that since our last meeting the secretary of GRRF had published a second revision of regulation 55. This was well received by the working group. It was challenged why that could not be done in general instead of issuing amendments.

There was also a short information that the secretary of our working group had made a further consolidation in the working documents R55-12-01 and R55-12-02 just in order to keep track of a correct numbering in forthcoming proposals.

Proposal draft by the informal group on UN Regulation No. 55 to update this regulation with respect to:
a) Requirements on remote indication;
b) Availability of information on coupling fixing points for A50X couplings;
c) On lateral strength of drawbars; and
d) a new class definition for fully automatic drawbar couplings.

18. The Chair of the IWG on Regulation No. 55 introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2015/14, partially addressing the mandate defined in the terms of reference to the group. He announced that further work would be necessary to deliver the remaining items expected. The Chair of GRRF agreed to inform WP.29 about the necessity to extend the mandate duration of the group. The proposal received some comments. The Chair of the IWG volunteered to prepare a revised proposal for the September 2015 session of GRRF.

Working draft proposal of the informal group on UN Regulation No. 55 to introduce amendments on:
(a) Requirements on remote indication;
(b) Availability of information on coupling fixing points for A50X couplings;
(c) On lateral strength of drawbars;
(d) Includes a new class definition for fully automatic drawbar couplings.

58. Agenda item 4.7.1, Regulation No. 55, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2016/5, insert the following amendment to read:
Annex 7, paragraph 1.2.2., for “…a = 25° and b = 60°” read “…α = 25° and β = 60°”.
