37. The expert from EC introduced a study (GRSP-70-23) to review and assess the appropriateness of crash pulses found in the current European Union legislation. Therefore, he stated that it would be needed to identify potential amendments to regulations and assess the potential benefits as well as any (unintended) consequences. He informed that accident data are limited and real-world issue could therefore not defined. At this stage, there is lack of concrete cost-effective data and EC will not follow up the modification of pulses for the time being. He clarified that the European Commission was obliged to evaluate vehicle safety by July 2027 (Article 14 of General Safety Regulation (EU) 2019/2144) and would take this research into account at that time. GRSP suggested sharing the same presentation with the Working Party on General Safety (GRSG). Notably, the expert from EC recommended ensured consistency of UN Regulation No 67 (LPG) and 110 (CNG) as covered by this research, with UN Regulation No 134 / GTR No 13 (hydrogen safety). |
