3.10 arguments to keep current EU legislation (static test) (Document TFAC-03-03)

The group could not reach a consensus on this topic. It was voted on the following four options:

  1. Static test optional only for Classes i and q and a maximum speed not exceeding
    40 km/h: 1 in favor.
  2. No inclusion of the static test but allow to grant approvals based on static tests in a transitional period up to 01.01.20XY (tbd): 2 in favor.
  3. Static test optional for all Classes and a maximum speed not exceeding 40 km/h: 10 in favor.
  4. Static test optional only for “simple constructions” but without speed limit: 5 in favor.

It was agreed to report this result in GRRF and leave the decision up to GRRF.
