Revised proposal by Italy pursuant to comments received during the 80th GRRF (September 2015) session to introduce provisions for the approval of replacement brake discs for L-category (motorcycle and related) vehicles.
25. The expert from Italy presented GRRF-82-32 introducing ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2016/18, which was already presented once, at the February 2016 session. He pointed out that he didn’t receive any feedback or comments on the proposal and that therefore the original proposal was not amended. GRRF adopted the proposal as amended and requested the secretariat to submit this proposal as draft Supplement 4 to the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 90 (Replacement braking parts), for consideration and vote at the June 2017 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1.
25. The expert from CLEPA introduced GRRF-86-40 proposing to amend ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2016/58, which was prepared on the basis of three documents with conflicting provisions. The secretariat informed GRRF that ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2016/58 was adopted by AC.1 as Supplement 3 to UN Regulation No. 90 and that the corrections proposed could not be adopted as drafted. The secretariat agreed to prepare a revised version that could potentially be adopted (GRRF-86-40-Rev.1) by AC.1 as a Supplement 4.
26. The expert from Italy presented GRRF-80-31, introducing ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/23/Rev.2 and GRRF-80-37 and proposing requirements for the approval of replacement brake discs for L-category vehicles, taking into consideration the latest technologies available in the market as well as comments received during the previous session of GRRF. GRRF adopted the proposal with the following amendments:
(a) the proposed transitional provisions (paras 12.1 to 12.6) shall be deleted;
(b) The note under Table A15/2.9 shall read: “There are no groups…”
29. The expert from Italy presented GRRF-81-29 introducing ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2016/18. The experts from Spain, UK and EC expressed reservations with the aim of the proposal, taking into account the history of the Regulation No. 90 development. They suggested that a more strategic and coordinated approach was chosen to develop the Regulation. GRRF agreed that this proposal may be reviewed by a SIG dealing with Regulation No. 90.
56. Due to the lack of time, GRVA agreed to postpone the consideration of
GRVA-01-12 and the oral report of the expert from Spain on the activities of the Special Interest Group of experts on UN Regulation No. 90 until the January 2019 session.
59. The expert from CLEPA introduced GRVA-01-12 with minor amendment proposals to UN Regulation No. 90, addressing the concern expressed in GRRF-86-40. The expert from France proposed that the amendment to the table in para. 5.3.4.1.1 should also include the vehicles of category L6 and L7 (in alignment with the vehicles of category M1 and N1). The experts from Spain and from CLEPA supported the proposed alignment of L6 and L7 values with the existing values for M1 and N1. The expert from CLEPA agreed to prepare a revised proposal for review at the September 2019 session.
