Proposal to amend Annex 1B, paragraph 1. to add “If applicable,” before “name and address of manufacturer’s representative” and to renumber the existing paragraph 2 as paragraph 1. This proposal resolves inconsistency between communication forms 1A and 1B of UN R90. The term used for responsible entities, the manufacturer’s representative, was modified only in communication form 1A for replacement brake lining assemblies and replacement drum brake linings, so communication form 1B for replacement brake discs and replacement brake drums requires the same amendment to ensure consistency.

Proposal to amend Annex 3, paragraph 1.1.1. to delete the sub-paragraph referring to bedding of brake linings according to manufacturer’s instructions. A defined bedding procedure of brake linings was introduced in paragraph 1.1.2. of Annex 3 with Supplement 9 to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 90. The last sub-paragraph of paragraph 1.1.1 had not been deleted in Revision 2 and 3 of UN Regulation No. 90, leading to different interpretations of the bedding procedure, which this proposal resolves.
