Proposal to clarify the provision for permissible deactivation of ABS systems under the proposal to clarify the use of Combined Braking Systems (CBS) under GTR No. 3.
24. The expert from EC introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2015/40 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2015/41, proposing to clarify the possibility to install means to temporarily reduce or disable the ABS function of motorcycles in certain conditions. The expert from Canada submitted an alternative wording (GRRF-80-19) and recalled that an authorization from the Executive Committee AC.3 for developing an amendment to GTR No. 3 would be required. The proposal received some general comments related to road safety. The expert from IMMA briefly introduced GRRF-80-13 commenting the proposals to which the expert from EC responded (GRRF-80-24 and GRRF-80-25). A majority of experts expressed a specific concern related to condition (f). The expert from EC volunteered to prepare two revised proposals for the [February 2016] session of GRRF.
101. Submitted for consideration and vote, the proposal for Amendment 2 to draft UN GTR on motorcycle braking (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2015/38, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2015/39, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/AC.3/37) was established in the UN Global Registry on 12 March 2015 by consensus vote of the following Contracting Parties present and voting: Australia, Canada, China, European Union (voting for Cyprus, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom), India, Japan, Norway, Republic of Korea, Republic of Moldova, Russian Federation, South Africa and United States of America.

The amendments to page 5, para. 3.1.9, second line<§i>, correct to read:
“..may share a common break, a common transmission…”
21. The expert from Italy introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/22 based on GRRF‑76‑44, proposing to align the provisions with those proposed for UN Regulation No. 78 (see para. 19). GRRF adopted the proposal, as amended below. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal to WP.29 and AC.3 for consideration at their March 2015 sessions as draft Amendment 2 to the GTR No. 3. The expert from Italy agreed to submit the corresponding technical report for consideration at the AC.3 session in March 2015. GRRF would have the opportunity to review it at its February 2015 session.
Paragraph 5.3., amend to read:
| “… | |
| d) | Brake actuation force: |
| The control force that achieves the maximum vehicle deceleration rate as defined in paragraph 6.5.1.(c). | |
| …” | |
22. The expert from EC introduced GRRF-78-07, amending document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/22, proposing to align the provisions with those proposed for Regulation No. 78 (see para. 20). GRRF agreed to revisit the document at its February 2015 session on the basis of a revised proposal by EC in collaboration with IMMA.
