Proposal to align UN R135 with the provisions of GTR 20 on post-crash electrical safety and the administrative provisions of Revision 3 to the 1958 Agreement. The proposed amendments only relate to vehicles with an electric power train operating at high voltage.
23. The expert from the Netherlands introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2021/21, aimed at introducing requirements for post-crash electrical safety in the event of a pole side impact collision, as was agreed for UN Regulation No. 94 (Frontal collision) and proposed for UN Regulation No. 12 (see paragraph 8 above). GRSP adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2021/21, deleting the square brackets in paragraph 11.7. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal as draft 02 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 135 (Pole Side Impact (PSI)) for consideration and vote at the June 2022 sessions of WP.29 and to the AC.1.
28. GRSP agreed to keep the current definitions of “Fire” and “Explosion” in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2022/71 unchanged (submitted for consideration and vote at the June 2022 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1). GRSP also agreed that these definitions would be first discussed by the informal working group on UN GTR No. 20, Phase 2 of EVS and that feedback from that discussion would be presented at its December 2022 session.
