Proposal to correct erroneous references (to annexes in the regulation as well as to UN R94 and R95) in the text.

Proposal to:

1. clarify that the application of an AECD approval to other vehicle categories than M₁ and N₁ is not mandatory,
2. align the power supply requirement of Part III, para. 34.1 with the corresponding requirement in Part II, para. 25.1.
3. clarify with regard to para. 34.1 that if the vehicle is equipped with both
   • -a “back-power supply” as listed in para. 35.10.1 and
   • -a “Power supply other than back-up power supply mentioned in paragraph 35.10.1” as listed in para. 35.10.2
   both should be tested according to Annex 9. The “Power supply other than back-up power supply mentioned in paragraph 35.10.1” should indeed only be tested if it is the only power supply for the AECS.
4. include two-year transitional provisions
5. remove the exclusion of M₁ and N₁ not equipped with a side airbag and to specify that the AECS shall be able to output the navigation solution in an NMEA-0183 protocol format (RMC, GGA, VTG, GSA and GSV message), among other clarifications.

Proposal to clarify that UN R144 does not specify the frequency (number) of attempts or the duration of efforts to establish a network connection (voice or data transmission) for automatic emergency call systems.

Request from the GRSG secretariat for clarification of a possible inconsistency in the text of UN R144. Paragraph 26.7.2. refers to situations where the AECS is not equipped with a back-up power supply; however, the subparagraph 26.7.2.3. refers to an AECS with a back-up power supply.
