Proposal to amend the requirements for fire prevention under certain conditions in the event of a rear collision. In particular, the amendment changes the impact speed range in the collision test and enables the inclusion of this regulation in the proposed international whole vehicle type approval system.

The draft 03 series of amendments follows current UN guidelines for regulatory texts (document WP29/1044/Rev.1); however, a new version of the guidelines which uses a different phrasing for transitional provisions will soon be adopted. Therefore, OICA proposes using the new wording in the draft 03 series.

Editorial change agreed by GRSG to the text ensuring continued acceptance of type approvals according to previous versions of UN R34 where they are not impacted by the 03 series amendments (document WP.29/2014/65).
