The expert from the Russian Federation introduced GRSG-124-11, proposing a new rule, drafted by the IWG on Periodical Technical Inspections (PTI) to introduce periodical technical inspections of Emergency Call Systems (AECS), intended to be fitted to vehicles of categories M₁ and N₁ covered by UN Regulation No. 144. He clarified that the UN Regulation does not specify any satellite system; therefor, the most appropriate system would be considered in PTI.

67. The expert from the Russian Federation introduced GRSG-123-12, proposing a new rule, devised by the IWG on Periodical Technical Inspections (PTI) to introduce periodical technical inspections of Emergency Call Systems (AECS), intended to be fitted to vehicles of categories M1 and N1 covered by UN Regulation No. 144. The expert from Germany informed GRSG that the current Directive (EU) 2021/1717 excluded AECS from PTI. The expert from OICA made several comments on the proposal (GRSG-123-36).
