Proposal for amendments to delete provisions for electronic stability and brake-assist systems from UN R13-H as part of their transposition into new stand-alone regulations.

Proposal to transfer brake assist system systems provisions out of UN Regulation 13-H and into a new stand-alone regulation. The proposal arises from a perceived need to simplify UN R13-H to facilitate its application within the proposed international whole vehicle type approval. This document supersedes document GRRF-75-14.

Proposal to transfer electronic stability control systems provisions out of UN Regulation 13-H and into a new stand-alone regulation. The proposal arises from a perceived need to simplify UN R13-H to facilitate its application within the proposed international whole vehicle type approval. This document supersedes document GRRF-75-15.

In the framework of the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA) discussion, it was agreed to split Regulation No. 13-H into three distinct Regulations: on Braking, on Brake Assist Systems (BAS) and on Electronic Stability Control (ESC). In order to complete this task and to ease the implementation work of Contracting Parties relying on the existing text of the Regulation to mandate BAS or ESC, new transitional provisions are proposed.

Under the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA) program, brake assist systems (BAS) and electronic stability controls (ESC) would be separated from UN R 13-H into new stand-alone regulations. This document has been prepared by an ad hoc group in order to ensure adequate transitional provisions to enable Contracting Parties to adapt to the new approach.
