• Amend paras. 1.1., 2.7.1., 2.7.2., and 2.9.,
• Insert new paras. 2.30. to 2.38. defining latch release control, door handle, retractable door handle, unlock, unlatch, power loss, vehicle master control switch, main power supply, and door opening,
• Insert new para. 5.4. establishing requirements for exterior and interior door operation,
• Amend para. 6.3.1. and 6.3.1.1.,
• Amend paras. 6.3.2., 6.3.3., and 6.3.3.1.,
• Insert new para. 6.4. on latch release controls and door handles requiring intuitive operation and capability to remain functional for at least 60 minutes after power loss through mechanical backup, secondary power supply, or fail-safe design,
• Insert new para. 7.3. on testing power-assisted latch release controls and door opening systems,
• Insert new paras. 13.0. and 13.1. on transitional provisions,
• Insert new Annex 7 specifying interior and exterior power loss test procedures.

Proposal to amend UN GTR No. 1 to introduce requirements for emergency door opening. The amendment addresses safety concerns arising from electrically operated door opening systems by requiring that power-assisted latch release controls, unlock controls, and door opening systems remain capable of functioning after main power supply loss for at least 60 minutes by means of secondary mechanical means, active secondary power supply, or fail-safe systems. The amendment also introduces definitions for latch release control, door handle, retractable door handle, unlock, unlatch, power loss, vehicle master control switch, and main power supply; requires latch release controls and door handles to be intuitive and unobstructed; and establishes interior and exterior test procedures to verify compliance with power loss requirements.
