6. | Regulation No. 90

22. The Chair of GRRF presented ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/9 based on GRRF-75-18, discussed at the seventy-fifth GRRF session. The expert from CLEPA introduced GRRF-76-42-Rev.1 proposing an amendment to the scope of the Regulation as well as further minor clarifications. GRRF adopted this proposal as amended by Annex IV of the session report and requested the secretariat to submit the proposal to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their June 2014 sessions as a part of the draft Supplement 2 to the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 90.

12. (b) | Revision and extension of approvals
6. | Regulation No. 90 (Replacement brake linings)

24. The expert from CLEPA, recalling the purpose of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2013/4, reported on the work of OICA, CLEPA and CLCCR and introduced GRRF-75-18 amending the original proposal. GRRF noted the completion of technical work. The expert from OICA also introduced GRRF-75-19 supporting the technical content of the proposal but disagreeing with legal aspects such as intellectual property, product liability and reputation issues that may occur. The expert from CLEPA addressed the concerns of OICA (GRRF-75-41). The expert from Spain noted some administrative and procedural difficulties for Type Approval Authorities that this proposal may create. The expert from France requested a justification for the deletion proposed in Annex 4B. GRRF agreed, in principle, with the technical provisions and requested the secretariat to distribute GRRF-75-18 with an official symbol for further consideration at its next session. GRRF requested the Chair to report to WP.29 at its November 2013 session on both the technical and the legal aspects.
