GRSP | Session 55 | 19-23 May 2014

19. The expert from Germany introduced GRSP-55-19 to extend the prohibition of installation of side-facing seats to all categories of commercial vehicles (N). The expert from Turkey raised a study reservation and the expert from OICA argued that this extension should be carefully examined for special vehicles (e.g. ambulances, hearses). GRSP agreed to resume consideration of this agenda item at its December 2014 session and requested the secretariat to distribute GRSP-55-19 with an official symbol.
