| Document Title | IMMA comments on the proposed motorcycle ABS braking changes (Documents GRRF/2015/40 and 41) | ||||||||

| Summary | Documents GRRF/2015/40 and 41 propose to align GTR 3 and UN R78 with the provisions for anti-lock braking systems used in other regulations. The proposal clarifies the limits on the use of any temporary ABS deactivation switch and prohibition against permanent disabling of ABS if fitted on a motorcycle. IMMA wishes to make the wording more technology-neutral, clarify test conditions considered impractical, and allow time for manufacturers to comply (i.e., add transitional provisions). | ||||||||

23. GRRF reviewed ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2015/41 and GRRF-80-24 under agenda item 5(b) below. 24. The expert from EC introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2015/40 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2015/41, proposing to clarify the possibility to install means to temporarily reduce or disable the ABS function of motorcycles in certain conditions. The expert from Canada submitted an alternative wording (GRRF-80-19) and recalled that an authorization from the Executive Committee AC.3 for developing an amendment to GTR No. 3 would be required. The proposal received some general comments related to road safety. The expert from IMMA briefly introduced GRRF-80-13 commenting the proposals to which the expert from EC responded (GRRF-80-24 and GRRF-80-25). A majority of experts expressed a specific concern related to condition (f). The expert from EC volunteered to prepare two revised proposals for the [February 2016] session of GRRF. |
