UN R107 includes a provision to prevent a folding seat used by the crew from obstructing the view of the exterior rear-view mirror. GRSG approved the Netherlands proposal (document GRSG/2015/14) to apply this restriction to rear-view camera monitors. Germany submits, however, that because the positioning of monitors inside the vehicle differs from that of exterior mirrors, direct application of these requirements may result in positioning below the line of sight and therefore proposes to clarify the requirement to ensure safe installation of rear-view monitors and mirrors.
12. The expert from Germany introduced GRSG-109-16 amending the requirements concerning the driver’s view on devices for indirect visions and permitted intrusions, based ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2015/14. GRSG adopted the proposed text as reproduced in Annexes III and IV to the report. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their March 2016 sessions, as part (see paras. 7, 9, 10 and 11 above) of draft Supplement 5 to the 06 series of amendments and as part (see para. 9) of draft Supplement 5 to the 05 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 107.
30. Referring to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2015/14, the expert from the Netherlands proposed to also align the provisions of UN Regulation No. 107 with the adopted CMS provisions. The secretariat was requested to submit a proposal, as amended below, to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their November 2015 sessions, as draft Supplement 4 to the 05 series of amendments and as part (see para. 7 above) of draft Supplement 4 to the 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 107.
Paragraph 7.7.1.8.4., amend to read:
“7.7.1.8.4. When the seat …… opposite side of the vehicle or through the centre of any display used as device for indirect vision within the scope of Regulation No. 46, whatever applicable.”
