Proposal to clarify the provisions on the extended field of vision on heavy goods vehicles across different mirror classes. The text would require assessment of normal and extended fields of vision using a single mirror adjustment and to allow for the loss of up to 10% of the close-proximity field of vision in such configurations. The proposal would also clarify the transitional provisions and provisions for aftermarket devices.
27. The expert from Germany presented ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2013/23 clarifying the introduction of the extended field of vision on heavy goods vehicles that may be covered using different mirror classes. The expert from the United Kingdom proposed some improvements to the proposed text (GRSG-105-22). GRSG adopted the document, as amended below, and requested the secretariat to submit the amendments to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their March 2014 sessions as draft Supplement 1 to the 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 46.
Paragraphs 15.2.4.5.11.1. to 15.2.4.5.11.3., replace the wording “that it provides” by “that it simultaneously provides” (3 times).
Paragraph 15.2.4.5.12., second subparagraph, replace the wording “However, in that case” by “In such cases” and “that it provides” by that it simultaneously provides".
28. The expert from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2013/18 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2013/19 clarifying the transitional provisions of the 03 series and the 04 series of amendments, respectively, to UN Regulation No. 46. GRSG adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2013/19, as amended below, and requested the secretariat to submit the amendments to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their March 2014 sessions as part (see para. 27 above) of draft Supplement 1 to the 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 46.
New paragraph 21.18., amend to read:
| “21.18. | Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs 21.2., 21.4., 21.5., 21.13. and 21.15. above, for the purpose of replacement parts, Contracting Parties applying this Regulation shall continue to grant approvals according to the 01 series of amendments to this Regulation, to devices for indirect vision of classes I to V for use on vehicle types which have been approved before 26 January 2006 pursuant to the 01 series of amendments of Regulation No. 46 and, where applicable, subsequent extensions to these approvals.” |
29. GRSG also adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2013/18, as amended below, and requested the secretariat to submit the amendments to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their March 2014 sessions as draft Supplement 3 to the 03 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 46.
