In document GRSG/2013/2, the Russian Federation proposed to amend the position requirement for interior controls of power-operated service doors in Class B vehicles from the current minimum of 1600 mm to a range between 1000-1500 mm.
Here OICA proposes to replace the suggested range with a single minimum value of 1000 mm for all classes of vehicles.
5. Recalling the purpose of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2013/2, the expert from the Russian Federation proposed amending the provisions on the installation height of interior emergency controls in Class B vehicles. The expert from OICA introduced GRSG-104-15 proposing an alternative text. GRSG adopted the proposal, as reproduced below, and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their November 2013 sessions, as draft Supplement 3 to the 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 107.
Annex 3, paragraph 7.6.5.1.2., amend to read:
“7.6.5.1.2. In the case of interior controls, are placed on, or within 300 mm of, the door, at a height (except in the case of interior controls for the door referred to in Annex 8, paragraph 3.9.1.) of not less than 1,000 mm above the first step;”
