GRRF | Session 71 | 13-15 Sep 2011

22. GRRF considered ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2011/37, GRRF-71-14 and GRRF-101-02, proposing to move all ESC related symbols from Regulations Nos. 13 and 13-H to Regulation No. 121. GRRF supported in principle ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2011/37, GRRF-71-14 and GRRF-101-02. GRRF agreed to consider the amendment to Regulation No. 13 and 13-H at its next session on the basis of a revised proposal from OICA. The expert from Canada explained the justification for ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2011/37 which aims to avoid using the ESC symbol in different colours to convey different meanings. Canada suggested that people suffering from colour blindness would have difficulty identifying the signal. Whilst there was little support for the specific amendments to Regulation No. 13-H, GRRF supported the principle of defining symbols in Regulation No. 21 and noted overlaps with wider discussions at the Working Party on General Safety (GRSG).

23. Following the request of GRSG (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/79, para. 31), GRRF considered and supported ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2011/32 superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2011/7 and adapting the requirements on braking symbols to technical progress.

24. The secretariat was requested to inform GRSG about the outcome of the GRRF discussion.
