Paragraphs 9.1.4.1. and 9.1.4.2., should be deleted: Annexes 14 and 16, Insert a new paragraph 6.1.3.3., to read: “6.1.3.3. For sun roofs, the abrasion test is not required.” Annex 21, Paragraph 3.1., amend to read: “3.1. (...) They are re-introduced as a correction TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/1999/12/Rev.1/Add.1 page 6 (ii) The text relating to the abrasion symbols has been redrafted on the basis of the one of the paragraph 5.5.5. and the reference to the relevant annex has been added. (...) (i) As wished by the Industry and the delegation of Japan, sun roofs will be exempted from abrasion testing. The argument is that no field of vision has to be ensured by means of sun roofs; therefore, it is rational to exempt them from any abrasion provisions.

., to read: “6.1.3.3. For sun roofs, the abrasion test is not required.” Annex 16, Insert a new paragraph 6.1.3.3., to read: “6.1.3.3. For sun roofs, the abrasion test is not required.” Annex 21, Paragraph 4.2.2.2., amend to read: “4.2.2.2. (...) The abrasion resistance level "/M" should also be accepted when the driver's indirect field of vision is obtained by means of two external rear-view mirrors.

Ad e) Measures should be devised to prevent that the numbers on the plates are no longer legible after a short time as a result of being hit by stones, cleaning, abrasion owing to the weather and frequent changing of digits. (...) Following are some examples: - Abrasion tests are given in IMO Resolution A.658 (16) of 19 October 1989 for testing the abrasion resistance of reflective film. (...) - Some examples of methods for testing the abrasion resistance of digits are given below. Particular methods should be agreed upon that are appropriate to the practical requirements to be met by plates.

Test of resistance to abrasion The purpose of this test is to determine whether the resistance of a safety glazing to abrasion exceeds a specified value. 8.1.3.2. (...) Cross cut test The purpose of this test is to examine whether any abrasive resistant coating of a rigid plastic glazing has sufficient adherence. (...) Plastic glazing materials shall be subjected to the tests listed in the following table. In the case of the abrasion test, the applicant shall have the alternative between the Taber test and the set of three tests composed of the carwash, sand drop and the wiper test.

The bar anvil should be used to assess the tangential forces and their integrals with time caused by projections on the helmet, e.g. visor fittings, screws, press studs and steps in the shell surface, etc. 7.4.2.3.1.2. The abrasive anvil is a sheet of grade 80 closed-coat aluminium oxide abrasive paper with a minimum supported length TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/1998/16 page 5 of 225 mm and is securely clamped to the base of the anvil to prevent slippage. 7.4.2.3.1.2.1. The abrasive anvil should be used to assess the tangential forces and their integrals with time caused by friction against the outer surface of the helmet. (...) When tested against the abrasive anvil, the helmet shall satisfy the following requirements: 7.4.4.2.1. the peak longitudinal force measured on the anvil shall not exceed 4,000 N, nor shall its integral with time exceed 28 Ns for any of the selected impact points.”

Exemptions In the case of plastic safety panes, the provisions related to abrasion resistance as referred to in paragraph 4.2.3.2. of this annex do not apply for the locations of vehicles and panes as listed below: ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/15 5 (a) Motorhomes, ambulances and hearses for panes not requisite for the driver's forward and rearward field of vision; (b) Trailers, including caravans; (c) Sunroofs and glazing located in the roof of a vehicle; (d) All glazing of the upper deck of a double-deck vehicle; (e) Partitions and separating windows not requisite for the driver's forward and rearward field of vision. For these cases, no abrasion test and symbol /L or /M is required. 4. (...) Exemptions In the case of plastic safety glazings, the provisions related to abrasion resistance as referred in paragraphs 4.2.2.2. and 4.2.3.2. of this annex do not apply for the vehicles and glazing locations listed below: (a) Ambulances (b) Hearses (c) Trailers, including caravans (d) Sunroofs and glazings located in the roof of a vehicle (e) All glazings of the upper deck of a double-deck vehicle No abrasion test/symbol is required. 4.3.

Retention systems shall be protected from abrasion. 6.11. The helmet shall be held in place on the wearer's head by means of a retention system which is secured under the lower jaw. (...) The luminous transmittance shall be measured before the abrasion test. Figure 2 Symbol "Daytime use only" Note: this symbol or indication must visible and extend over at least 1 cm2 6.16.3.5. (...) The spectral transmittance shall be measured before the abrasion test. 6.16.3.8. The table contains the permissible refractive powers at the sight points.
