GRRF adopted this proposal as amended by Annex V of the session report and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their June 2014 sessions as a part of the draft Supplement 11 to Regulation No. 106.

European Commission unable to formally consider the editorial correction proposed by the WP.29 secretariat. Therefore, the EC does not have authority to approve the combined package of proposals. Therefore, the vote on adoption must be postponed until the November 2014 session.

21. The expert from IMMA introduced on behalf of the sponsor, Italy, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/3 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/4 as amended by GRRF-76-35-Rev.1, proposing similar amendments to those proposed for Regulation No. 78 (see para. 20, agenda item 5a).

13. At the request of the expert from Japan, GRRF agreed to take note that the consolidation of the transitional provisions does not change the interpretation of the current text of the Regulation (e.g. transitional provisions for supplements). GRRF agreed that the absence of the historical dates from the latest text simplified interpretation of the requirements for the purposes of issuing type approval. GRRF also noted that references to “registration” had been removed in favour of “national or regional type approval” as recommended by the guidelines in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1044/Rev.1.

14. GRRF agreed to note in this report the meaning of “according to the basis of the requirement that existed at the time of the original approval” in para. 12.5. of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/7. In this context, GRRF agreed that “the requirement that existed” refers to those requirements applied at that time, taking into consideration of the transitional provisions.

31. At the request of the author of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/8, GRRF agreed to defer this agenda item to its next session.

37. On behalf of CLCCR, the expert from CLEPA proposed amendments to UN Regulation No. 79 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2013/25) inserting new requirements for trailers with a steering control system utilising electrical energy from the towing vehicle.

GRRF agreed to resume consideration of this subject at its next session on the basis of a revised proposal.

40. The expert from CLEPA, on behalf of CLCCR, introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/8 as amended by GRRF-79-02 and GRRF-79-21, aimed at removing a design restriction from Regulation No. 79 that prevents the approval of new technologies. The proposal received some comments. GRRF agreed to resume consideration on this item at its September 2015 session based on a revised proposal that the author volunteered to prepare. The secretariat agreed to consult the Working Party on Lighting and Light-Signalling on the issue of trailer mounted warning light.

54. The expert from CLEPA introduced on behalf of CLCCR the proposal ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2015/43 superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2015/8. The proposal received some comments and was amended during the session as reproduced in GRRF-80-40. GRRF agreed with the proposal but preferred to review it again in February 2016 in view of a possible adoption in June 2016 by WP.29 and AC.1.54

48. The expert from CLEPA recalled, on behalf of CLCCR, the proposal ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2016/20 previously adopted by GRRF with a scrutiny reservation. CLCCR reviewed the text in square brackets and proposed to delete it as proposed in GRRF-81-13. GRRF adopted the proposal as amended by Annex V to the report and requested the secretariat to submit it together with ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2013/13 to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their June 2016 sessions, as Supplement 5 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 79.

GRRF adopted this proposal as amended by Annex IV of the session report and requested the secretariat to submit the proposal to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their June 2014 sessions as a part of the draft Supplement 2 to the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 90.

24. The expert from CLEPA, recalling the purpose of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2013/4, reported on the work of OICA, CLEPA and CLCCR and introduced GRRF-75-18 amending the original proposal. GRRF noted the completion of technical work. The expert from OICA also introduced GRRF-75-19 supporting the technical content of the proposal but disagreeing with legal aspects such as intellectual property, product liability and reputation issues that may occur. The expert from CLEPA addressed the concerns of OICA (GRRF-75-41). The expert from Spain noted some administrative and procedural difficulties for Type Approval Authorities that this proposal may create. The expert from France requested a justification for the deletion proposed in Annex 4B. GRRF agreed, in principle, with the technical provisions and requested the secretariat to distribute GRRF-75-18 with an official symbol for further consideration at its next session. GRRF requested the Chair to report to WP.29 at its November 2013 session on both the technical and the legal aspects.

No objections to the proposal which is passed for consideration to adopt during the AC.1 session.

7. This item was discussed in conjunction with agenda item 10(b), see para. 36. The expert from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/10 as amended by GRRF-76-18 proposing to delete the provisions related to the introduction of ESC and BAS in the two draft Regulations mentioned in para. 36. in favour of separate and discrete regulations for these technologies. GRRF agreed to resume consideration of this item and keep the documentation on the agenda of the September 2014 session of GRRF.

42. The expert from OICA introduced GRRF-75-14, GRRF-75-15 and GRRF-75-16 proposing amendments to UN Regulation No. 13-H and proposing separation of the provisions in UN Regulations for braking systems, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Brake Assist Systems (BAS). The Chair invited the experts to provide the OICA expert with written comments not later than 29 November 2013. GRRF agreed to resume consideration of this item at its next session on the basis of a revised proposal, which the expert from OICA volunteered to prepare.

48. The expert from OICA announced that GRRF-76-13, GRRF-76-14, GRRF-76-18, GRRF-76-22 and GRRF-76-23 had been replaced by GRRF‑78‑19, GRRF‑78‑20 and GRRF‑78‑21.

49. The expert from OICA introduced the new documents as well as the proposals for separate UN Regulations on Brake Assist Systems (BAS) (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/11) and on Electronic Stability Control (ESC) (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/12) extracted from UN Regulation No. 13‑H (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/10). The Chair recalled the purpose of GRRF-76-33 and GRRF-76-34. OICA stated that GRRF-76-34 had been taken into account when drafting the proposals above. He introduced GRRF-78-29 proposing to delete the k-test method prescribed in Annex 7 and only keep the method prescribed in Appendix 2 to Annex 6 to align the UN Regulation with GTR No. 8. GRRF agreed to reconsider this proposal at its seventy-ninth session.

51. GRRF agreed to resume consideration of this agenda item at its February 2015 session, based on three revised proposals by OICA and CLEPA.

45. The expert from OICA introduced GRRF-79-05, GRRF-79-06 and GRRF 79 07 superseding official proposals for separate Regulations on Brake Assist Systems (BAS) (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/11) and on Electronic Stability Control (ESC) (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/12) extracted from Regulation No. 13 H (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2014/10). GRRF agreed that further work e.g. on the transitional provisions, was necessary to make sure that Countries mandating the fitment of ESC or BAS on the basis of the existing text of Regulation No. 13-H would be able to continue to mandate this fitment, unaffected by this extraction. The expert from UK agreed to lead an ad-hoc group of interested members on addressing the transitional provisions, to establish a methodology for all of the regulations that would need to be separated for IWVTA. GRRF agreed to reconsider this proposal at its September 2015 session.

54. The expert from OICA presented ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2016/6 removing (as suggested by the IWG on IWVTA) the provisions on ESC and Brake Assist Systems (BAS) from Regulation No. 13-H, taking into consideration the comments received at previous sessions of GRRF as well as the transitional provisions proposed by the expert from UK in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2016/10.

The expert from Japan tabled GRRF-80-26 addressing concerns expressed at the seventy-ninth session of GRRF. The expert from EC kindly informed GRRF that the lack of harmonization between the draft UN Regulation and the existing EC Regulation 458/2011 might prevent the EU from applying this regulation.
