Report on the 1st meeting of the GRSG Task Force on "Gas-fueled vehicle regulations"
Report on the 1st meeting of the GRSG Task Force on "Gas-fueled vehicle regulations"
The target of the meeting was to define essential periodic inspection requirements to be respected when installing gaseous fuel components into a vehicle, and to clarify the material requirements for components inside the LPG tank. The work addressed UN R67 and UN R110. No further meetings are planned at this time.

UN R67: Proposal for the 02 series of amendments
UN R67: Proposal for the 02 series of amendments
Proposal developed by the Gas-fueled Vehicle Regulations Task Force to facilitate periodic inspections of gas containers through better visibility. In addition, Germany suggests adding that paragraph to allow a Contracting Party or a regional organization of Contacting Parties like the EU to refuse national or regional type-approval and to refuse first registration of a vehicle type affected by the changes introduced by the 02 series of amendments but not meeting those stipulations. Paragraph 22.13 is an addition to paragraph 22.9. giving more stress to aspects of national and regional type-approval and of first registration of vehicles.
GRSG/2017/16
Proposal for the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 67
Proposal for the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 67
Proposal to improve the specifications for LPG multi-valves in response to an LPG vehicle fire that resulted in injuries to first responders. A German Type Approval Authority (KBA) analysis concluded that the hose connecting the PRV/PRD of the multi-valve to the gaseous phase was damaged and hose-fragments blocked both PRV and PRD such that pressure could not be adequately reduced. The PRV and PRD were activated, but the fragments considerably reduced the effective section of the relevant tubing and prevented the release of pressure. This proposal aims to prevent such occurrences.
GRSG/2017/22

Proposal for the amendments to Regulation No. 67
Proposal to insert new provisions on the location on the vehicle of the filling unit, marking of the LPG container date of production, and a limitation on the maximum service life of LPG containers to 15 years.
