66. Agenda item 4.8.7, Regulation No. 117, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2015/65, insert the following correction:
Annex 4, the title, footnote 1, shall read: “replace “paragraph 12.9” with “paragraph 12.8””

29. The expert from ETRTO introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2015/9 proposing the reintroduction of the transitional provisions related to Supplement 4 to the 02 series of Amendments to Regulation No. 117 (paras. 12.8. and 12.9.) and deleted unintentionally. GRRF recognized that the deletion was not the original intention of the Contracting Parties. The expert from the Russian Federation proposed (GRRF-79-19) to reinstate the Transitional Provisions as well as the reference to Annex 4 in paragraph 2.1. of Annex 3. Based on GRRF-79-19, the Secretariat and the expert from the Russian Federation proposed GRRF-79-33 with amendments aligning the original transitional provisions with the guidelines on Transitional Provisions.

30. GRRF adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2015/9 as amended by Annex II to the session report, and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their June 2015 sessions as draft Supplement 8 to 02 series of Regulation No. 117.

14. GRB continued its consideration of the revised proposal for new time measurement accuracy for the rolling resistance method (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRB/2014/8). The expert from Japan introduced several modifications to this proposal (GRB-61-06). GRB adopted the proposal, as contained in Annex V to this report, and mandated the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their June 2015 sessions as a draft Supplement 8 to the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 117. GRB also noted that the Working Party on Brakes and Running Gear (GRRF), at its February 2015 session, would consider a corrigendum to Supplement 6 to the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 117 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2015/9).

16. The expert from ETRTO referred to the ongoing work of updating references to the new version of ISO standard 10844:2014 (see para. 17 below) and proposed similar amendments to Annex 3 of Regulation No. 117 (GRB-61-14). The expert of ISO recalled his presentation on the comparison between the 2014 and 2011 versions of ISO 10844 (GRB-60-17) and confirmed that only editorial modifications had been introduced without any technical changes. Thus, GRB agreed that no transitional provisions were required in this case. GRB adopted the proposal, as contained in Annex VI to this report, and mandated the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their June 2015 sessions as a draft supplement to Regulation No. 117.

12. The expert from ERTRO introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRB/2014/8 to propose new time measurement accuracy for instrumentation involved in the rolling resistance method (Annex 6 to the UN Regulation). The expert from Japan reiterated his reservation that the proposed accuracy might be too strict and asked GRB to postpone the consideration of this item to the next session. The expert from the Russian Federation agreed with this suggestion. GRB recalled that this issue had already been discussed several times and felt that a final decision should be taken at the next session. Meanwhile, experts from Japan, Russian Federation, ETRTO, as well as from other Contracting Parties were invited to finalize their consultations.
