UN R66: Draft proposal for amendments
Document GRSG-118-37
17 July 2020

Proposal for additional checks following complete vehicle tests:

  1. destruction of seats mounts. The break-off and displacement of seats is not covered by the current Regulation, since they are initially located inside the residual space and their displacement is not assessed;
  2. injury-causing objects entering the residual space and moving within it (e.g., if a person is hit by a fire extinguisher or other object when the vehicle overturns, it may cause serious or even fatal injuries).
