GRSG | Session 127 | 15-19 Apr 2024

25. The expert from the Russian Federation introduced GRSG-127-36 as a revised version of his earlier proposal (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2023/2). He added that the proposal included the definitions “escape hatch” and “emergency exit”, and revised testing provisions in the annex 5 of the UN Regulation. The expert from Japan expressed a study reservation to the proposal. Finally GRSG agreed to resume discussion on the proposal at its October 2024 session and requested the secretariat to distribute GRSG-127-36 with an official number at that session.
