6. Relationship with GRRF informal group on UN R55 (Coupling Systems)

The group was informed that the R55 informal group did not finish their work on the item related to MVC yet. Main points of discussions: weight to be used in the formula, angles, remote control and indication.

MVC informal group Terms of Reference:

  • Terms of Reference of this MVC informal group address among others the necessary amendments to UN R55 (GRRF-78-16)
  • There is indeed consensus at the R55 informal group as well as at the MVC informal group that remote control and indication will be permitted per UN R55
  • The Chair pointed out that the Terms of Reference permit to add definitions into the regulation, e.g. a definition of “dolly”.
  • Conclusion: deletion of the reference to N1 category from the Terms of Reference
