GRSG | Session 101 | 18-21 Oct 2011

22. The expert from Canada recalled ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2010/20 proposing the addition of more symbols in Regulation No. 121. The expert from OICA proposed to amend the proposal and introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2011/27 and GRSG-101-

11. GRSG adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2011/27, as amended below, and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their March 2012 session, as draft Supplement 7 to Regulation No. 121:

Table 1, column 1, symbol No. 3a, correct “Headlamp high beam” to read “Headlamp main beam” and symbol No. 3b, correct “Automatic high beam functions” to read “Automatic main beam switching”.

Footnote 18/, correct “standard ISO” to read “standard ISO 2575-2004”.

23. GRSG considered ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2011/32 (superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2011/7) tabled by OICA and proposing to transfer the control and tell-tale requirements from Regulations Nos. 13 and 13-H to Regulation No. 121. GRSG noted a number of concerns on footnote 18/ and agreed to revise its current text at the next GRSG session on the basis of a revised proposal by OICA. Referring to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2010/20, the expert from Canada reminded GRSG on the need to also insert symbol 48 on cruise control.

24. The expert from OICA introduced GRSG-101-02-Rev.1 on symbols for electronic stability control and he suggested submitting the proposal as a new series of amendments to Regulation No. 121. GRSG endorsed that approach. Following the discussion, GRSG adopted the proposal, as reproduced in Annex IV. The secretariat was requested to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their June 2012 sessions, as draft 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 121 together with the necessary amendments to remove the control and tell-tale provisions from Regulations Nos. 13 and 13-H, subject to a detailed consideration by the Working Party on Brakes and Running Gear (GRRF) at its February 2012 session.
