The expert from EC, Chair of IWG on VRU-Proxi, reported on the group’s decision to withdraw ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2019/10 on a new 05 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 46 and to submit instead a new draft UN Regulation on devices for reversing motion and driver’s awareness of vulnerable road users behind the vehicle (GRSG-116-36). He added that the new UN Regulation would address a broader scope, i.e. direct and indirect vision devices, and other detection devices. He sought the advice of GRSG on this new IWG approach. GRSG noted the requests by Italy and Sweden to apply these devices also on incomplete vehicles and, if possible, to already include it into the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA) scheme. GRSG endorsed the new IWG approach.
29. The Chair of VRU-Proxi announced that IWG would further review the terms of reference to extend the mandate for developing reversing safety by one additional year and to circulate, if possible, the new draft UN Regulation as an official document, for consideration by GRSG at its next session.
30. GRSG welcomed the good work progress and noted that the next meeting of IWG on VRU-Proxi was scheduled to be held in Berlin (Germany) on 17–19 June 2019.
23. On behalf of IWG on VRU-Proxi, the expert from Japan introduced GRSG-115-39 proposing amendments to UN Regulation No. 46 to provide the driver, when moving his vehicle backwards, with a full field of vision on the rear proximity of the vehicle without any blind spots. He underlined that the group’s intention to submit the proposal as a new 05 series of amendments, subject to further considerations by IWG on the scope of application and on transitional provisions. He volunteered to prepare in due time a revised proposal for submission to the secretariat.
24. The GRSG Chair welcomed the good progress of work and invited all experts to send their comments to the expert from Japan. GRSG agreed to resume consideration of this subject at the next GRSG session in April 2019 on the basis of an official document.

12. Referring to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2018/17, the expert from France introduced GRSG-115-08 that clarifies the requirements on windscreen wipers with a simple generic drawing of the areas concerned. The expert from EC supported the proposal. The expert from CLEPA was of the opinion that the clarification by France imposed more stringent requirements particularly for the wiper holder and would require a justification for evolving costs (GRSG-115-32). The expert from OICA endorsed the position of CLEPA. He suggested inserting transitional provisions and adopting the proposal as a new series amendments to UN Regulation No. 26. The Chair invited the experts from France and OICA to submit, in due time, a revised proposal including transitional provisions, for consideration at the next GRSG session on the basis of an official document.
