Proposal for amendments to the draft 04 series of amendments to Regulation No. 78. The draft 04 series proposes to align UN R78 with the provisions for anti-lock braking systems used in other regulations, including specific exemptions for certain off-road vehicles as incorporated in UN Regulation No. 13. 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.
82. The World Forum considered the draft proposal for amendments to existing Regulations under agenda item 4.13.1 and recommended its submission to AC.1 for voting subject to the amendments below:
