assemblies , drum -brake linings, discs and drums for power -driven vehicles and their

thus, ceasing the possibility child restraint syst ems that are not built in motor vehicles  
to be type -approved under that Regulation. Additional time is necessary to allow f or 
the production in stock and in the distribution channels to be sold out. Therefore,  child 
restraint systems approved in accordance with UN Regulation No 44 before 1 
September 2023, should be allowed to be made available on the market and entered

(7) The provisions of UN Regulation No 13 -H related to brake  assists systems and 
electronic stability control systems were transferred to  UN Regulation No 13939 and 
UN Regulation No 14040, whereas the provisions concerning braking were shifted to 
the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No  13-H. Given that the re quirements 
for brake assists systems and electronic stability control systems remain ed unchanged, 
type-approvals granted in accordance with the original version of UN Regulation  13-

the original version s of UN Regulation No 13 9 and UN Regulation No 140 . 
(8) The requirements  with regard to child restraint anchorages were transferred without 
changes from the 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No 14 to UN Regulation

UN Regulation No 145.  
(9) The requirements with regard to safety of electric power train at rear -end collision 
were transferred without changes from the 03 series of amendments to UN Regulation 
No 34 to UN Regulation No 153. Therefore, type -approvals granted in accordance 
with UN Regulation No 34 should be considered equivalent to a type -approval grante d 
to the original version of UN Regulation No 153.  
(10) The requirements with regard to tyre pressure monitoring were transferred without 
changes from the 02 series of amendments to UN Regulation No 6441 to UN 
Regulation No 141. Therefore, type -approvals granted in accordance with UN 
                                                 
36 Regulation No 13 of the Economic Commission for Europe of the United Nations (UN/ECE) —
