Draft proposal to introduce provisions for thermal propagation testing intended to supersede the formal proposal GRSP/2024/18 during the December GRSP session, and to make editorial corrections to previous supplements.
21. On behalf of the Special Interest Group on Thermal Propagation Electric Vehicle Safety (SIG TP EVS), the expert from EC introduced a proposal for a new 05 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 100 aiming at the improved requirements concerning thermal propagation and approval of electric powered vehicles (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2024/18 and informal documents GRSP-76-08 and GRSP-76-39). The expert from OICA suggested modifying the proposal by extending the transitional provisions (informal document GRSP-76-34). Following an in-depth discussion, GRSP adopted the proposal as amended by informal document GRSP-76-08-Rev.1 and requested the secretariat to submit it for consideration and vote to WP.29 and AC.1 at their sessions in March 2025 as a proposal for a 05 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 100.
