Submitted by the expert from the Netherlands
Incorporation of latest amendments to IGCMS working
document
The text reproduced below has been prepared by the expert of the Netherlands to
incorporate the latest amendments to Regulation 46 as adopted by WP.29 until
its March 2014 meetings.
It is noted that the working document of IGCMS does not yet (fully) reflect the
following amendments adopted by WP.29:
1.
GRSG-103-31-Rev.1
This document was intended to clarify the table with the compulsory and
optional devices for vehicles of category N2 and N3. The IGCMS
working document only contains this clarification and not any more the
required compulsory and optional mirrors any more.
2.
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2014/8
This contains amendments to the transitional provisions given in
paragraph 21.6 and 21.7
3.
ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2014/9
This contains several amendments of the provisions of paragraph 15.2.4.5
and several transitional provisions.
Concerning the transitional provisions the working document of IGCMS was
based on the assumption that that proposal would be a new series of
amendments. As the proposal of IGCMS seems to become a supplement a
verification of the transitional provisions as given in the IGCMS-II working
document is needed
The documents mentioned above are reproduced below.

Add new paragraphs 21.12. to 21.17., to read:

amendments.
21.13.
As from 30 June 2014, Contracting Parties applying this Regulation shall

of amendments.
21.14.
As from 30 June 2014, Contracting Parties applying this Regulation shall

II. Justification
The proposed amendments to Regulation No. 46 are necessary to align the
text in the table in paragraph 15.2.1.1.1 with amendments to be introduced
with the 04 series of amendment (document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2012/87).
The additional paragraphs 21.16. and 21.17. aim at clarifying the transitional
provisions.
