GRSG | Session 106 | 5-9 May 2014

5. The expert from Germany introduced GRSG-106-23 superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2013/14 and proposing new requirements to prevent accidents in the case of an open engine access panel. GRSG noted a number of comments. 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 2014 sessions, as draft Supplement 2 to the 05 series of amendments and as draft Supplement 1 to the 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 107.

Annex 3, insert a new paragraph 7.3.1., to read:

“7.3.1.If the engine compartment of a vehicle is located to the rear of the driver’s compartment, it shall not be possible to start the engine from the driver’s position when the main engine access panel located in the rear face of the vehicle is open and which provide direct access to parts that represent a hazard when the engine is running (e.g. pulley of belt drives).”
