Some experts raised that paragraph 6.1.3.4. of Annex 18 should be improved in order not to repeat the exemptions now included in Annex 21 per document GRSG/2014/15. Same was recognized for annex 14.

The experts discussed the inconsistency in the regulation about the wording and interpretation of the “number of test pieces”. Dr. Dümmler pointed out that this problem can be found in Annexes 14, 16, 17, 18, 19.

Current wording of the regulation permits three different interpretations:

• Samples of 300 × 300 mm,
• samples cut at 300 × 300 mm from real part or
• complete Real part.

The experts agreed for a further change in paragraph 5.2. of annexes 17, 18 and 19 (Secretariat to do the work). The Chair committed to inform GRSG on the necessity to amend annexes 14 and 16 as well for consistency. But the group agreed not to propose changes at the forthcoming GRSG session.

The experts discussed the document from Germany GRSG-106-02. Concerning paragraph 4.2.2.2., the experts acknowledged that the document GRSG-106-02 was developed by the approval authorities and was already covered by the document GRSG/2014/15. The experts agreed to review internally the proposed wording and to ask the German representative, at the 2nd day of the meeting, the origin, and whether withdrawing the document would be feasible.

Note of the Secretariat: This action is still to be conducted.

Mr Veeneman was keen that the group confirms full support to document GRSG/2014/15. The group had no further remark. The document GRSG/2014/15 will be presented by France with the support of the informal group.

20. On behalf of IGPG, the expert from France introduced document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/15 proposing new definitions on interior and exterior glazing and updated provisions of Annex 21 on the installation of safety glazing on vehicles. GRSG adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/15 and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their November 2014 sessions, as part (see para. 17 above) of draft Supplement 3 to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 43.
