14. GRSP considered ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/13, aimed at clarifying the provisions for the approval of “general-use” safety-belts. GRSP adopted the proposal as amended by Annex II to this report. The secretariat was requested to submit ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/13 to WP.29 and AC.1, for consideration and vote at their November 2015 sessions as draft Supplement 6 to the 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 16.

15. GRSP noted GRSP-57-14-Rev.1 superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/15 to clarify the installation of different light colors on the buckle and to improve its visibility in dark conditions for the wearer and facilitate rescue of occupants. The expert from EC underlined that the proposal was not aimed at introducing a tell-tale but rather a comfort system. Finally, GRSP adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/15, as amended by Annex II to this report (including GRSP-57-14-Rev.1). The secretariat was requested to submit ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/15 to WP.29 and AC.1, for consideration and vote at their November 2015 sessions as part of (see para. 14 above) draft Supplement 6 to the 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 16.

27. The expert from the Netherlands introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2015/13 aligning the provisions of UN Regulation No. 94 with the new provisions on Camera-Monitor Systems provisions in UN Regulation No. 46 (Devices for indirect vision). GRSP adopted the proposal, as reproduced by Annex III (including GRSP-57-02), and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their November 2015 sessions, as draft Supplement 6 to the 02 series of amendments and as part of (see para. 26) the draft 03 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 94.
