The RESS group raised some questions to the IWG R94 [e.g., Frontal Impact Informal Group]. The IWG R94 discussed that the scope of the tests shall not be changed. It might however be useful to check the exemptions, which some regulations allow for. E.g. R95 has exemptions for cars with R point > 700mm which are based on occupant protection arguments, but which might be misleading with regard to fuel system integrity. It might be useful to split the regulation and add a fuel integrity regulation, like the ECE R17 has been added for the seat component. It was decided to recommend not changing the scope of current regulations ECE R12, R94 and R95. For those vehicles which do not have to fulfil R94, ECE R12 will be a minimum requirement. Vehicles which fulfil regulations ECE R94 and R95 do not necessarily need to fulfil the component tests. For component tests a type dependent R17 pulse shall be used, like it is shown in the document of the RESS group RESS03-03.e.pdf, or document FI-13-03 respectively. |
