4. (a) UN Regulation No. 46 (Devices for Indirect Vision)

9. The expert from Germany, Chair of TF on UN Regulation No. 46 (Devices for indirect vision) introduced a status report (GRSG-128-26). He also introduced GRSG-128-25, explaining that TF had submitted this proposal of amendments in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2024/101, to be adopted at the November 2024 session. He further explained that the proposal was needed by GRSG and by the Working Party on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (WP.15); it was seen as contradictory to current ADR requirements on the feature to enable the de-energization of the electrical circuits. The expert from the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland requested a study reservation. However, GRSG agreed on the urgency of the matter and adopted GRSG-128-25. The secretariat was requested to submit GRSG-128-25 as an amendment to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2024/101 (Supplement 1 to the 06 Series of Amendments to UN Regulation No. 46) for consideration and vote at the November 2024 session of WP.29.

10. The expert from Germany introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2024/40, clarifying that the document was not ready for adoption and needed further Task Force discussion. GRSG agreed to defer discussion of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2024/40 as well as GRSG-128-06, amending it, to its April 2025 session.

11. GRSG considered ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2024/41, as a request of guidance to clarify the meaning of “limit the return of the hammer” in paragraph 6.3.2.2.5. of the 06 series of amendments of UN Regulation No. 46. The majority of GRSG experts were in favour of the limit expressed in subparagraph 6.3.2.2.5. (b). GRSG noted that the expert from Germany would revert this answer to the Task Force to finalize the proposal of amendment to the UN Regulation.
