Comments address proposals EDO-05-03e and EDO-05-04e. On intuitiveness, the definition was agreed upon but concerns remain regarding ambiguity under self-certification system. Specific examples may be included such as door handle with gripping space, and mark/label/symbol on latch control. On power loss test, overall test procedures were agreed upon. Clarifications needed include normal riding position in 2.2.3., and whether interior test testers proceed with opening procedure after 60 minutes for all doors with 4 times repetition per door within 60 minutes proposed.

Vehicle sound limits: Cross Matrix Activity-A brief history
Reference Number: TFVS-20-02

The Cross Matrix activity began with TFSL-02-07 (May 2021) defining the concept to assess regulation effects across different areas. TFVS-04-14 (Sep. 2021) clarified building a sound model. Early work 2021-2022 defined traffic and fleet scenarios through TFVS-05-06, TFVS-06-03, TFVS-07-08, and TFVS-06-05, which selected eight scenarios from residential areas to motorways. Activity decreased by 2023, with TFVS-12-06 calling for resumption. TFVS-17-07 compared model results from EU, Switzerland, Japan, and HMG Akustiklabor. Future steps include addressing Lmax, traffic measure effects, opening the approach to L categories, and assessing progress from new RD-ASEP in UN R41 06 series.

Direction Indicator Lamp Height Issue
Reference Number: SLR-77-13

This document addresses rear direction-indicator lamps mounted at low positions on vehicles. Republic of Korea reports increased public petitions and media articles regarding visibility and recognition concerns, particularly in congested traffic and for vehicles with higher driver seating positions like SUVs. UN Regulation No. 48 specifies direction-indicator lamp height requirements: not less than 350 mm and not more than 1,500 mm, or up to 2,100 mm under certain structural conditions. The presentation seeks feedback on similar issues from other countries and manufacturers.

UN R74: Updated baseline document for a 04 series of amendments
Reference Number: SLR-77-10

Baseline document for amending UN R74 (based on WP.29/2024/91, SLR-71-07, SLR-71-7, SLR-66-01, and SLR-73-07). Key changes include: simplifying definitions; using “type-approved” and “type-approval” with hyphens per UN R48; replacing “vehicle type (moped)” with “type of vehicles of category L1”; adding hyphenation to “direction-indicator lamp”; deleting “above” from paragraph references; clarifying UN R48 series; removing “to this Regulation” after Annex references; applying scientific notation for lumens; including electric vehicles; revising individual and general provisions; correcting signal lamp category errors; and using category symbols instead of lamp function names.

WP.29 | Session 179 | 12-14 Nov 2019

61. WP.29 endorsed the informal document WP.29-179-08 and requested the secretariat to prepare it as official document for the next session.

GRSP | Session 66 | 10-13 Dec 2019

57. The expert from Japan, on behalf of the IWVTA Ambassador of GRSP, informed GRSP about IWVTA IWG progress and introduced WP.29-179-08 on the proposed list of UN Regulations applicable to IWVTA Phase 2 (2018 – 2022). The expert from Finland introduced GRSP-66-18 to promote the Database for the Exchange of Type Approval (DETA), on using DETA, and information for competent authorities and manufacturers. GRSP was requested to provide feedback at its May 2020 session. GRSP also noted that WP.29 had encouraged GRs to review the application of the Unique Identifier (UI) and markings, and to provide guidance on how to proceed (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1149, para. 65) on the basis of:

  • Option 1: Use UI and keep the installation marking and the information on the part.
  • Option 2: Use UI only for the approval marking and provide open access to the communication document, which would also include the necessary installation marking.
GRSP agreed to resume discussion on this subject at its May 2020 session.
