Excerpts from session reports
GRBP | Session 83 | 10-13 Feb

7. The IWG RD-ASEP Subgroup on UN Regulations Nos. 51 and 138 reported on their activities (GRBP-83-08-Rev.1) and introduced GRBP-83-09-Rev.1 proposing to amend ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRBP/2026/4. The representative of France acknowledged the good progress achieved, for example by requiring drivers to activate the device; he wondered about how to deal with artificial sound for speed > 80km/h, and its potential inclusion in the guidance document being prepared. He requested to be included in any task to update the provisions in the future. The representative of Germany confirmed a new version of GRB-68-03 was planned, providing guidance for speeds not covered by the current text.

8. GRBP adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRBP/2026/4 as amended by GRBP-83-09-Rev.1.

9. Given the adoption of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRBP/2026/4 as amended by GRBP-83-09-Rev1, the representative of OICA withdrew ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRBP/2026/14 from consideration by GRBP.
