Proposal to clarify the text of the amendments updating provisions for service doors, windows and emergency exits. The main purpose of the proposal is to delete the prohibition on the use of laminated glass or plastic material in window panes and to delete the provision that emergency windows shall be capable of being operated from outside.
62. Agenda item 4.7.5, Regulation No. 107, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2014/69, insert a new paragraph 10.24 (instead of amending).
63. Agenda item 4.7.6, Regulation No. 107, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2014/70, paragraphs 10.24 and 10. 25, correct to read (renumbering the paragraphs):
Paragraph 10.9. (instead of 10.24.), amend to read:
| “10.9. | Notwithstanding paragraphs 10.7. and 10.8., Contracting Parties applying this Regulation shall continue to accept type approvals granted to the preceding series of amendments, which are not affected by the 05 series of amendments.” |
| “10.10. | Contracting Parties applying this Regulation shall not refuse to grant extensions of approval for vehicles which are not affected by the 05 series of amendments.” |
5. The expert from the Russian Federation lifted the reservation on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2014/70, submitted to the November 2014 sessions of WP.29 and of the Administrative Committee of the 1958 Agreement (AC.1). GRSG confirmed the adoption of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2014/70 as well as ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2014/77 (this latter document will be submitted to the March 2015 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1), without amendments. The expert from OICA withdrew ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/31. GRSG agreed to withdraw ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2014/76 from the agenda of the WP.29 session in November 2014. (see WP.29-164-05).
8. GRSG noted GRSG-107-05, tabled by the expert from Hungary, addressing ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2014/70. In his opinion, this last compromise did not correctly address the security as it facilitated the access of undesirable people during the parking time of buses. GRSG noted no support and reiterated its decision of the previous session. GRSG agreed to keep GRSG-107-05 for reference only in the agenda of its May 2015 session.
8. The expert from Hungary introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/4 proposing to simplify the current provisions of paragraph 7.6.8.2. in Annex 3 of the Regulation. GRSG adopted the proposal, as reproduced below, and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their November 2014 sessions, as a part (see paras. 5 and 6 above) of draft Supplement 2 to the 05 series of amendments and of draft Supplement 1 to the 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 107.
Annex 3, paragraphs 7.6.8.2. and 7.6.8.2.1., amend to read:
| "7.6.8.2. | Every emergency window shall either: |
| 7.6.8.2.1. | Be capable of being easily and instantaneously operated from inside and from outside the vehicle by means of a device recognised as satisfactory. This provision includes the possibility of using e.g. panes of laminated glass or plastic material, or" |
11. The expert from Hungary proposed simplifying the current provisions of paragraph 7.6.8.2. in Annex 3 of UN Regulation No. 107 (GRSG-105-04-Rev.1). GRSG noted general support and agreed to resume for consideration of the proposal at its next session. Thus, the secretariat was requested to distribute GRSG-105-04-Rev.1 with an official symbol.
