Summary Proposal for the Phase 2 development of GTR No. 13, including
  1. Further consideration of items in the original authorization (document WP.29/AC.3/17);
  2. Potential revision of the scope to address additional vehicle classes;
  3. Requirements for material compatibility and hydrogen embrittlement;
  4. Requirements for the fueling receptacle;
  5. Evaluation of performance-based test for long-term stress rupture proposed in Phase 1 (including assessment of a procedure to evaluate the risk of long-term stress rupture of storage containers made from composite fiber reinforced polymers);
  6. Consideration of research results reported after completion of Phase 1 – specifically research related to electrical safety, hydrogen storage systems, and post-crash safety;
  7. Consideration of 200 per cent Nominal Working Pressure (NWP) or lower as the minimum burst requirement; and
  8. Consider Safety guard system for the case of isolation resistance breakdown.

162. The representative of EU introduced the proposal for authorization to develop the Phase 2 of the global technical regulation. He explained the need to start the Phase 2 to address the development of remaining issues, amongst others material qualification testing. He clarified that Japan, Republic of Korea and the European Union would sponsor the Phase 2. However, he clarified that the contribution from the United States of America, China and other Contracting Parties was encouraged and expected and that the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission is ready to provide further relevant input.
