31. The expert from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2022/19, to avoid double approval with regard to rear impact by removing the impact tests for M1 and N1 vehicles from UN Regulation No. 34 for those vehicles that are also in the scope of UN Regulation No. 153 (Fuel system integrity and electric power train safety at rear-end collision). At the same time, she introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2021/19/Rev.1 that removes categories M1 and N1 from the scope to avoid crash test duplications with UN Regulations Nos. 94, 95 and 153 as a new series 04 of amendments to the UN Regulation No. 34.

32. GRSG adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2022/19, not amended. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal as draft Supplement 3 to the 03 series of amendment to UN Regulation No. 34 (Prevention of fire risks), for consideration and vote at the November 2022 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1.

5. | UN Regulation No. 34 (Prevention of fire risk)

52. The expert from OICA introduced documents GRSG-122-10 and GRSG-122-15, proposal for Supplement 3 to the 03 series of amendments of UN Regulation No. 34 and Proposal to amend document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2021/19 which is a Proposal for a new 04 series of amendments of UN Regulation No. 34.

53. The expert from France recalled that para. 9.3. of UN Regulation No. 34 is not yet transposed in the UN Regulation No. 153. He therefore suggested joint activity on this proposal with GRSP to ensure alignment between the GTRs and UN Regulations. The Expert from the Russian Federation suggested a postponement of the revision of the documents GRSG-122-10 and GRSG-122-15 because the Russian Federation currently does not apply UN Regulation No. 153 and will need time to review these documents.

54. Following a detailed technical discussion from the experts from France, the Russian Federation, The European Commission and OICA with regarding the paragraph that is yet to be transposed in the UN Regulation No. 153, GRSG suggested document GRSG-122-10 be converted into an official document for reconsideration in the 123rd session of GRSG in March 2022. GRSG also suggested current document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2021/19 be reviewed and submitted for reconsideration at the 123rd session of GRSG as official document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2021/19/Rev.1.
