GRRF | Session 76 | 17-21 Feb 2014

36. The expert from OICA introduced a proposal for a draft Regulation on Brake Assist Systems (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/11 amended by GRRF-76-14 and GRRF-76-33) and a proposal for a draft Regulation on Electronic Stability Control (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/12 amended by GRRF-76-13). Addressing the open question on how to deal with the original Annex 8 of Regulation No. 13-H, he presented GRRF-76-40 and the corresponding proposal amending the draft mentioned above (GRRF-76-22 and GRRF-76-23). GRRF agreed to resume consideration of this item and keep the documentation on the agenda of the September 2014 session of GRRF.

GRRF | Session 78 | 16-19 Sep 2014

49. The expert from OICA introduced the new documents as well as the proposals for separate UN Regulations on Brake Assist Systems (BAS) (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/11) and on Electronic Stability Control (ESC) (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/12) extracted from UN Regulation No. 13-H (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/10). The Chair recalled the purpose of GRRF-76-33 and GRRF-76-34. OICA stated that GRRF-76-34 had been taken into account when drafting the proposals above. He introduced GRRF-78-29 proposing to delete the k-test method prescribed in Annex 7 and only keep the method prescribed in Appendix 2 to Annex 6 to align the UN Regulation with GTR No. 8. GRRF agreed to reconsider this proposal at its seventy-ninth session.

GRRF | Session 80 | 15-18 Sep 2015

60. The expert from the UK recalled, on behalf of the group of interested experts dealing with this matter, the purpose of GRRF-79-05, GRRF-79-06 and GRRF-79-07 superseding official proposals for separate Regulations on Brake Assist Systems (BAS) (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/11) and on Electronic Stability Control (ESC) (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/12) extracted from Regulation No. 13-H (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/10). She then introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/ GRRF/2015/33 as amended by GRRF-80-32 proposing transitional provisions to make sure that Countries mandating the fitment of ESC or BAS on the basis of the existing text of Regulation No. 13-H would be able to continue to mandate this fitment, unaffected by this extraction. GRRF agreed to reconsider this proposal at its February 2016 session.
