Proposal to amend the requirements concerning post-crash electrical safety in the event of frontal collision. The proposal aligns post-crash electrical safety requirements with GTR 20 and aligns administrative provisions with Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement. The amendments would not affect approvals for vehicles without high-voltage electric power trains.

Proposal to align the definition of REESS with that adopted under UN R100.

GRSP resumed discussion on a proposal (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2020/7) that had been tabled by the experts from Japan and the European Commission on behalf of the Task Force to amend the requirements on post-crash electrical safety in the event of full frontal impact (see paragraphs 16, 18 and 19). The expert from Japan introduced GRSP-67-18-Rev.1 on amendment to the definition of REESS. GRSP adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2020/7, as amended by Annex IX to the session report. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal as the draft 02 series of amendment to UN Regulation No. 137, for consideration and vote at the November 2020 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1.
