13. The expert from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2022/5 to clarify the current definition of security glazing in UN Regulation No. 43. However, this does not pertain to the category of T vehicles – wheeled or tracked agricultural or forestry vehicles – which require a security glazing windscreen to protect the occupant from, for example, ruptured chainsaws (required in ISO 21876:2020).

14. GRSG noted that the current provisions of the UN Regulation did not allow type approval of the safety glazing of T vehicles. GRSG agreed to postpone full discussion of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2022/5 to its October 2022 session, while awaiting a full understanding of the solutions to test configurations of safety glazing of the T vehicle category that were coordinated by the experts from OICA, CLCCR and other interested parties.

27. The expert from OICA presented informal document GRSG-122-09, a proposal to amend UN Regulation No. 43. The expert from Japan introduced himself as the representative of the Ministry of Land Infrastructure and Tourism (MLIT) Japan, and informed GRSG that he recently became the head of the Japanese delegation in July of 2021, and this was his first time as a delegate in GRSG. In contribution to the presentation, he proposed the document be reviewed to include other vehicle types such as security vehicles.

28. The Chair of GRSG invited members of delegation to send in contributions to OICA on this document as it is to be reviewed as a formal document in the 123rd of March 2022 session of GRSG.
