GRSG | Session 100 | 11-15 Apr 2011

17. The expert from OICA presented GRSG-100-11, superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2009/21 and GRSG-99-15, to exempt diesel vehicles from charge dissipation devices. GRSG noted a number of comments and agreed to consider again this issue on the basis of a revised proposal from OICA. However, GRSG adopted the corrections to Annex 1, Appendix 2 of Regulation No. 34 proposed in GRSG-100-11, and requested the secretariat to submit them, as reproduced in Annex IV, to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their November 2011 session, as draft Corrigendum 1 to Revision 1 of Regulation No. 34.

18. The expert from the Netherlands introduced GRSG-100-08 clarifying the text of Regulation No. 34. GRSG adopted GRSG-100-08 as reproduced in Annex IV and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their November 2011 session, as draft Corrigendum 1 to Supplement 3 to the 02 series of amendments of Regulation No. 34.
