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 a 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 03 series of amendments but not meeting those stipulations. Paragraph 24.22. is an addition to paragraph 22.18. giving more stress to the aspects of national and regional type-approval and of first registration of vehicles.
28. The expert from Germany introduced GRSG-114-10 on the outcome of the task force on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2017/17 which was on improving the provisions for installing and inspecting Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) cylinders or Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) tanks and their accessories. The expert from Italy preferred a more accurate inspection of such containers without the removal of structural parts (GRSG-114-19). After discussion, GRSG agreed to add design requirements that allow easy periodical technical inspections. The expert from the Netherlands requested that container manufacturers provide more detailed recommendations for periodical technical inspections and for periodic requalification tests, and requested that these recommendations be stored and made available for all inspections.
30. Finally, GRSG considered a revised proposal (GRSG-114-10-Rev.1) and adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2017/17 as reproduced below. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal to WP.29 and AC.1 as draft Supplement 1 to the 03 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 110 for consideration at their November 2018 sessions.
Insert a new paragraph 18.1.6.1., to read:
| 18.1.6.1. | Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 18.1.6., it shall be possible to make an external inspection (e.g. for Periodic Technical Inspection) of the CNG cylinder or LNG tank and their accessories according to the specifications of the manufacturer, without the use of tools to dismantle, but with visual aids, e.g. lamps, mirrors or endoscopes. |
