Proposal for amendment to Regulation No. 41-04
Document GRB-65-18
13 February 2017

Proposal to delete category L4 vehicles from the scope of the regulation. Motorcycles with a side car (L4 category vehicles) should be tested in a state that is designed to be operated on the road (i.e. the side car fitted to the vehicle) using the test procedures of UN Regulation No. 9. Since UN Regulation No. 41.04 does not cover motorcycles with a side car, this text should be deleted in order to avoid any potential misunderstandings.

6. The expert from IMMA proposed to delete the last sentence in paragraph 1.3.2.1., since the scope of the 04 series of amendments to Regulation No. 41 does not cover motorcycles with a sidecar (L4 category of vehicles) (GRB-65-18). The expert from EC requested more time to study if the proposed modification would also require a change in the European Union (EU) legislation. GRB agreed to continue consideration of this issue at the next session, based on an official document to be submitted by IMMA.
