16. The expert from Germany, chairing the Informal Group on Plastic Glazing (IGPG), reported on the good work progress made by the group during its eighth and ninth meetings (Paris, 27-29 November 2013; Berlin, 25-26 March 2014) (GRSG-106-13). On behalf of IGPG, he introduced GRSG-106-16 proposing new provisions on plastic glazing for windscreens and laminated plastic panes other than windscreens. GRSG noted some comments and agreed to resume consideration of this subject at its next session. The secretariat was requested to distribute GRSG-106-16 with an official symbol.
23. The expert from Germany, chairing the Informal group on Plastic Glazing (IGPG), reported on the progress made by the group during its sixth meeting in January 2013 (GRSG-104-24). He presented GRSG-104-43 proposing a first set of amendments to UN Regulation No. 43 that would introduce requirements on plastic glazing for windscreens and laminated plastic panes other than windscreens. He underlined the need to further discuss the abrasion tests for plastic windscreen material and initiate round robin tests to ensure the accuracy of the equipment and tools for such tests. In this respect, he sought the consent of GRSG to extend the mandate of the informal group (GRSG-104-40) and, accordingly, he presented the amended Terms of References of IGPG (GRSG-104-41) and also the updated time schedule (GRSG-104-42) for concluding these tasks. GRSG welcomed that information and endorse the request. GRSG agreed to keep GRSG-104-43 on the agenda as a reference document. The GRSG Chair volunteered to inform WP.29 on the extended mandate of IGPG.
