44. Referring to GRSG-108-33, the expert from UK announced to present, at the next session of GRSG, the results of an investigation on the in-use provisions and the absence of an appropriate field of view requirement for drivers of N1 vehicles. GRSG agreed to resume consideration of this subject at its next session.

45. The expert from Germany presented GRSG-109-23-Rev.1 (superseding document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2015/8) introducing new requirements for the indirect view of the driver in case vehicles were equipped with camera-monitor systems. GRSG adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2015/8 as reproduced in Annex VII and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their March 2016 sessions, as draft Supplement 1 to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 125.

46. In this respect, GRSG intended to promote the introduction of camera-monitor systems (CMS) in vehicles of category M1 also by allowing for a temporary period an obstruction in the direct field of view of the driver by the installation of a monitor in place of a mirror. GRSG agreed to remove this temporary exemption such that the Contracting Parties shall not be obliged to accept, as from 1 September 2021, approvals based on the new paragraph 5.1.3.2. of UN Regulation No. 125.
