5. The expert from EC recalled the discussion at the previous session on GRSG-100-06 on the accessibility of prams. The expert from OICA introduced GRSG-101-18 proposing alternative provisions to provide a specific area in vehicles of Class I allowing the child to remain seated in his pram or pushchair. GRSG supported in general that proposal. The expert from EC raised a study reservation on GRSG-101-18. GRSG agreed to have a final review of the proposal at its next session and requested the secretariat to distribute GRSG-101-18 with an official symbol.

The expert from Spain presented ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2011/24 proposing to amend the test provisions of the Regulation taking into account flat monitors located on the roof of the gangway in M2 and M3 vehicles. The expert from Germany preferred an alternative text (GRSG-101-04). After discussion, GRSG adopted the proposal, as reproduced in GRSG-101-04-Rev.1 and in Annex II, and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their March 2012 session, as draft Supplement 2 to the 04 series of amendments to Regulation No. 107.

9. The expert from CLCCR recalled the purpose of GRSG-100-16 regarding the lateral stability of rearward facing wheelchairs. GRSG agreed with her suggestion to reconsider this matter at its April 2012 session on the basis of a revised proposal to be prepared by CLCCR, including a detailed justification.

5. GRSG considered GRSG-100-06 superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2010/33/Rev.1 by the expert from EC on the accessibility of prams. GRSG noted a number of comments, in particular from the United Kingdom (GRSG-100-24). GRSG generally supported this proposal, but was of the opinion that the case of small buses should be better taken into account. GRSG agreed to consider again this proposal at its next session on the basis of a revised proposal prepared by the expert from EC.

6. The expert from France presented ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2011/3 proposing to clarify the definition of Class II vehicles designed principally for the carriage of seated passengers. After discussion, GRSG could not support this proposal and agreed to remove it from the agenda.

7. The expert from OICA withdrew ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2011/4 on the number of priorities seats. The expert from CLCCR regretted that this proposal had been withdrawn.

10. GRSG considered ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2011/18 prepared by the experts from France, Germany, Norway and Sweden to introduce requirements on fire detection systems. After discussion, GRSG adopted the proposal, as reproduced in GRSG-100-31 and Annex II, and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their November 2011 session, as draft 05 series of amendments to Regulation No. 107.

11. The expert from Spain presented GRSG-100-03 on flat monitors located on the roof of the gangway. GRSG noted a number of comments and agreed to reconsider this topic at its next session. The secretariat was requested to make GRSG-100-03 available with an official symbol.

12. The expert from Russian Federation introduced GRSG-100-07 clarifying the Russian version of Regulation No. 107.

5. The expert from EC reiterated his position on the need for an improved accessibility of prams as indicated at the previous session on the basis of GRSG-100-06 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2010/33. The expert from OICA proposed alternative provisions (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2012/2) to provide a specific area in vehicles of Class I. The expert from France suggested differentiating between small and larger vehicles of Class I as the latter vehicles allow additional space for special area dedicated for a pram or pushchair. GRSG supported in general that proposal, but noted a number of study reservations. The expert the EC volunteered to prepare a revised proposal for consideration at the next GRSG taking into account the comments received. GRSG agreed to resume consideration of this matter at its October 2012 session and to keep ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2012/2 on the agenda as a reference document.
