The expert from Germany proposed reviewing the minimum number of priority seats in buses and coaches (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2013/15) in order to align the provisions of UN Regulation No. 107 with those of the corresponding EU Directive. GRSG also considered GRSG-105-15 (tabled by OICA) and adopted the proposal, as reproduced below, and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their March 2014 sessions, as draft Supplement 4 to the 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 107.
Annex 3, paragraph 7.7.8.5.3., amend to read: “7.7.8.5.3. | The minimum number of priority seats complying with the requirements of Annex 8, paragraph 3.2. shall be four in Class I, two in Class II and one in Class A and B. In the case of vehicles of Class III or Class B subject to the requirements of Annex 8, the minimum number of priority seats shall be two in Class III and one in Class B. A seat that folds out of the way when not in use shall not be designated as a priority seat.” |

The Chair summarized the discussions which took place at the 105th session of GRSG in Geneva (8-11 October 2013). He recalled the decision of a structure in 3 parts, and a scope limited to categories M1 and N1 as a 1st step, with the possibility for the Contracting Parties to extend nationally the application to other categories.
The informal group Chair informed that the Chair of GRSG recalled the necessity to adopt the final Terms of Reference for the group at the 106th session of GRSG (May 2014).
The Netherlands questioned the scope and raised the concern of mutual recognition in the frame of the 1958 Agreement, should a manufacturer get a Type Approval to this regulation for national application for a vehicle of a category not in the scope of the regulation. It was clarified that the scope in a 1st step, as “if fitted”, will be limited to vehicles of categories M1/N1.
