12. The expert from Germany, recalling the purpose of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/ GRRF/2013/29, introduced GRRF-79-24 containing the draft working in development by the experts from Germany and the Netherlands about provisions for electromechanical braking systems for towing vehicles and their trailers.

13. The experts from Germany and the Netherlands agreed to submit a revised proposal to the September 2015 session of GRRF or to deliver a roadmap in case longer work would be needed.

14. The experts from Germany and the Netherlands invited experts from the industry and from other countries to participate into their work.

3. (c) | Clarifications

12. The expert from Germany introduced GRRF-78-40 based on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2013/29 which detailed proposed amendments to UN Regulation No. 13 on provisions for electro-mechanical braking systems. GRRF acknowledged the status report. The experts from Germany and the Netherlands volunteered to prepare a revised proposal for consideration at the February 2015 session, addressing the remaining open issues.

13. The expert from Germany questioned the decision of GRRF taken in 2004 to exclude the use of the overrun brake for a full trailer (TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2004/11) and not extended to electrical brakes according to Annex 14. The expert from the Netherlands noted that the conscious decision in 2004 to exclude overrun brakes for full trailers was design restrictive. He suggested that the corresponding provisions should be replaced by performance requirements.
