The expert from Germany, Chair of the informal working group (IWG) on Plastic Glazing, introduced GRSG-107-12 with the justification for the proposed amendments to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/23, which aims to introduce new provisions for plastic windscreens and laminated plastic panes other than windscreens. GRSG adopted the proposal as amended by Annex II of this report. The secretariat was requested to submit ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/23 to the March 2015 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1 as draft Supplement 4 to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 43. GRSG considered and adopted GRSG-107-16, as reproduced below. The secretariat was requested to submit it to the March 2015 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1 as draft Corrigendum 5 to Revision 3 to the UN Regulation.
Paragraph 5.3.1., amend to read: “5.3.1. | In the case … of the group pursuant to Annex 1, Appendix 8 Appendix 10.” |
16. The expert from Germany, chairing the Informal Group on Plastic Glazing (IGPG), reported on the good work progress made by the group during its eighth and ninth meetings (Paris, 27-29 November 2013; Berlin, 25-26 March 2014) (GRSG-106-13). On behalf of IGPG, he introduced GRSG-106-16 proposing new provisions on plastic glazing for windscreens and laminated plastic panes other than windscreens. GRSG noted some comments and agreed to resume consideration of this subject at its next session. The secretariat was requested to distribute GRSG-106-16 with an official symbol.
59. The representative of AGC Glass Europe expressed his concern on the number of test cycles for plastic glazing in item 4.8.1, Regulation No. 43, and the standard deviation of the measured delta haze. He proposed that GRSG extend the mandate of the IWG on Plastic Glazing to further consider these issues. The representative of OICA expressed his view that the amendments had thoroughly been considered by the IWG. The Chair of GRSG offered to revisit, at the forthcoming session of GRSG the concerns raised by AGC Glass Europe on Regulation No. 43 and, if necessary, to extend the mandate of the IWG. The representative of Germany endorsed the proposed procedure.

31. The expert from OICA introduced detailed justifications (GRSG-107-18) for his proposal (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/24) to update, in UN Regulation No. 118, the ISO standard references. GRSG agreed to resume discussion on this agenda item at its May 2015 session and to keep GRSG-107-18 as reference, to leave time for experts to study ISO STD 6722 (see para. 26 above). Experts were invited to send comments to the secretariat concerning the above-mentioned ISO standard.
37. The expert from OICA presented GRSG-106-17 updating the reference to standard ISO 6722 in the provisions on the cable test. The expert from OICA volunteered to prepare a justification with the differences between the former and the new standard. GRSG agreed to resume consideration of this subject at its next session on the basis of an official document and requested the secretariat to provide a copy of the corresponding ISO standard.
50. Recalling the purpose of his justification document GRSG-107-18, the expert from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/24 updating the provisions on the cable test, especially the reference to international standard ISO 6722 (available in GRSG-107-28). The expert from Germany presented additional test requirements for cables (GRSG-108-09). The expert from OICA supported in principle the more stringent test requirements proposed by Germany, but raised a reservation to study the possible need for transitional provisions.
51. GRSG agreed to resume consideration of this subject at its next session on the basis of an official document, jointly prepared by Germany and OICA, including a proposal for transitional provisions, if necessary.
40. The expert from Germany also introduced GRSG-109-09 (superseding document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2015/28) proposing to insert, as a further improvement of the provisions of UN Regulation No. 118, new test requirements for electric cables sleeves and cable conduits. The proposal received a general support. The expert from OICA suggested clarifying the proposed text of paragraph 1.2. GRSG agreed to have a final review of the proposed transitional provisions at the next session of GRSG and requested the secretariat to circulate GRSG-109-09, as revised, with an official symbol.

35. The secretariat introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/25 on a first draft of new definitions for agricultural and forestry vehicles that have been prepared by the Working Party on Lighting and Light-Signalling (GRE) Informal Group on Agricultural Vehicle Lighting Installation (AVLI).
36. The expert from EC presented GRSG-107-07 on alternative definitions to those reflected in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/25 to align the wording with the EU legislation.
37. GRSG noted no objection and agreed that both proposals should further be considered at the next GRE session.
51. Upon the request of GRE, GRSG considered a proposal to insert into the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3) new categories T, R, and S of agricultural vehicles such as agricultural trailers and towed machinery (GRSG-106-34). GRSG noted a number of amendments to the document and agreed to resume consideration of this subject at its next session in October 2014. The secretariat was requested to distribute GRSG-106-34-Rev.1 with an official symbol.
22. GRB was informed that the Working Party on Lighting and Light-Signalling (GRE) had identified the need to introduce definitions for new categories of vehicles into the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3), such as agricultural trailers and towed machinery. GRB noted several alternative proposals for the new definitions (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/25 and GRB-60-02) and invited experts to transmit their comments and suggestions, if any, to the secretariat.
56. The secretariat introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/25 (initially proposed by the Working Party on Lighting and Light-Signalling (GRE)), as amended by GRRF‑78‑03 and introducing in to R.E.3, new categories of agricultural vehicles. The expert from the Russian Federation commented that the definitions proposed may create overlap especially when an agricultural vehicle could be classified as a Non Road Mobile Machinery (NRMM) and vice versa. The Chair of GRRF requested the experts to send their comments on this proposal to the secretariat.
29. GRE took note of the activities of other WP.29 Working Parties (GRs) to introduce new definitions for agricultural trailers and towed machinery into the Consolidated Resolution (R.E.3) (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/25) and considered two alternative proposals submitted by the expert from the European Commission (GRE-72-04). GRE expressed preference for the first option and adopted the proposal as contained in Annex X to the report. The secretariat was requested to submit it to WP.29 for consideration at its June 2015 session as well as to inform other GRs about this proposal.

18. The expert from Japan introduced GRSG-107-10-Rev.1, superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/26 on the close-proximity field of vision. This proposal excludes close proximity devices for category M1 from the scope of the UN Regulation and allows Contracting Parties to limit the application of the scope of the UN Regulation to category M1 only. He added that the intention of his proposal was to allow Contracting Parties to keep their national requirements on close-proximity field of vision when UN Regulation No. 46 would be added to List A of the regulations to be included into the new UN Regulation No. 0. GRSG noted some concerns on the possible interpretation of the 1958 Agreement that could hamper the principle of reciprocal recognition of type approvals. GRSG agreed to resume discussion on this subject at its May 2015 session on the basis of revised proposal prepared by the expert from Japan in cooperation with interested parties.

The expert from IANGV argued the lack of empirical evidence for the proposal and suggested a five-year frequency of visual inspection frequency. The expert from Germany stated that the proposal addressed issues beyond of the scope of the type approval procedures. Finally, GRSG agreed to resume discussion on this matter at its May 2015 session.
33. The expert from Belgium presented GRSG-106-15 reflecting the current provisions of UN Regulation No. 110 on the periodic requalification of CNG gas cylinders (Annex 3A) and LNG tanks (Annex 3B).

Description
|
The newly introduced systems to detect excessive temperatures and/or smoke enable the driver to act immediately to ensure the safety of the passengers. This implies the possibility of braking, stopping, or some other response which could impact other road users. Therefore, this proposal would require the hazard warning lights to be activated (which will require consideration by the WP.29 Working Party on Lighting and Light-signalling Equipment). The proposal also proposes transitional provisions for the implementation of the new requirements.

The expert from the Russian Federation lifted the reservation on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2014/70, submitted to the November 2014 sessions of WP.29 and of the Administrative Committee of the 1958 Agreement (AC.1). GRSG confirmed the adoption of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2014/70 as well as ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2014/77 (this latter document will be submitted to the March 2015 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1), without amendments. The expert from OICA withdrew ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/31. GRSG agreed to withdraw ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2014/76 from the agenda of the WP.29 session in November 2014. (see WP.29-164-05).
10. The expert from Germany introduced a proposal on the activation of a hazard warning signal in case of excess temperature in certain compartments of M2 and M3 buses (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2014/39). The expert from OICA introduced an alternative proposal (GRE-72-17). GRE adopted the text as contained in Annex V to the report and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their March 2015 sessions as draft Supplements to the 04, 05 and 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 48.

107th GRSG session (30 Sep-3
Oct 2014)
10. The expert from Belgium introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/32, proposing new requirements for odometers into UN Regulation No. 39. She presented GRSG-107-29-Rev.1 amending her proposal to include the comments received by the expert from OICA (GRSG-107-20). GRSG supported in principle the proposal. However, there was a general agreement among experts that the mandatory fitting of odometers should be completed by transitional provisions, anti-tampering requirements and type approval markings. GRSG agreed to resume consideration on this subject at its May 2015 session on the basis of a revised proposal from the expert of Belgium and on a proposal of transitional provisions from the experts of OICA and IMMA.
42. Recalling the discussion at the previous session of GRSG, the expert from Belgium gave a presentation (GRSG-106-36) on the need to set up new provisions on the odometer. He introduced GRSG-106-06 proposing draft amendments to be included into UN Regulation No. 39 on speedometers. The expert from FIA gave a demonstration on the easy manipulation of modern odometers (GRSG-106-37). He stressed the urgent need to set up anti-tampering measures for odometers. A number of experts were of the opinion that WP.29 should even develop some periodical technical inspection requirements for insertion into UN Rule No. 2 annexed to the 1997 Agreement.
43. GRSG welcomed the proposal by Belgium. GRSG noted general support but a number of Contracting Parties requested that the proposed amendments shall be supplemented with provisions for the mandatory installation of odometer on vehicles, including anti-tampering test requirements and transitional provisions. GRSG agreed to resume consideration of this subject at its next session in October 2014 on the basis of new proposal by Belgium, taking into account the comments received.
14. The expert from Belgium introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2015/15, as amended by GRSG-108-30, proposing to insert new provisions for the installation of odometers on vehicles. GRSG noted general support on the proposal.
15. Following the discussion, GRSG adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2015/15, as amended below, and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and the Administrative Committee of the 1958 Agreement (AC.1) for consideration at their November 2015 sessions, as draft 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 39.
Paragraph 2.6., correct “information equipment” to read “odometer equipment”.
Paragraph 5.5.1., correct “odometer may be” to read “odometer shall be”.
