24. The expert from CLEPA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2015/6 through a presentation (GRSP-57-26), aimed at updating the references to the European standard on toxicity and flammability of materials used to manufacture CRS. The expert from Germany informed GRSP about the latest amendments introduced in UN Regulation No. 118 by GRSG, on matters of vertical burning rate much more severe than standard EN 71 mentioned in the proposal. The expert from OICA requested exemption for built-in CRS subject to national/regional legislation (i.e.: EU Regulation on Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)). GRSP agreed to resume discussion on this subject at its December 2015 session on the basis of a revised proposal tabled by the expert from CLEPA in cooperation with the expert from OICA.
