9. The expert from Germany, Chair of TF on UN Regulation No. 46 (Devices for indirect vision) introduced TF status report (GRSG-126-23). 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 secretariat was requested to submit GRSG-126-25-Rev.1 as draft Supplement 1 to the 05 series of amendments (as reproduced by annex III to the report) and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2023/23 (as amended by annex III to the report) as draft 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 46, for consideration and vote at the March 2024 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1. GRSG agreed that TF work would continue to solve the remaining issues in UN Regulation No. 46.
