He then introduced GRSG-126-24-Rev.1 amending the UN Regulation on those parts agreed so far by TF as a new series of amendments. Many of the experts were in favour of the pendulum with a diameter of 165 ± 1 mm and a 5 ± 1 mm thick rubber covering for the impact test. Finally, GRSG adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2023/23 as amended by GRSG-126-24-Rev.1 and GRSG-126-25-Rev.1.

The expert from Canada confirmed that in his national standard, the outer diameter was 165 mm. Finally, GRSG endorsed the establishment of a TF led by the expert from Germany with the expert from OICA for secretary tasks, and agreed on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2023/9, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2023/16, GRSG-125-03-Rev.1 and GRSG-125-24 as a basis for its work.
