Proposal to clarify provisions concerning the deactivation of emergency door controls to prevent doors from being opened while the vehicle is in motion. The proposal specifies the focus on interior controls and would reduce the speed threshold for deactivation from 5 km/h to 3 km/h based on reports from bus operators.
14. Recalling the purpose of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2015/18 presented at the previous GRSG session, the expert from Germany introduced GRSG-109-11 proposing revised provisions on emergency controls at service doors, specifically on the deactivation of emergency door controls when the vehicle moves to prevent doors from being opened. GRSG adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2015/18 as reproduced in Annex III to the report and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their March 2016 sessions, as part (see paras. 7, 9, 10, 11 and 12 above) of draft Supplement 5 to the 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 107.
