Proposal to align Annex 11 of UN R107 with Regulation (EU) 1230/2012. Annex 11 was originally based on EU Directive 97/27 EC (type approval of vehicles with regard to their masses and dimensions) which has now been replaced by Regulation (EU) 1230/2012, thus prompting the need for realignment.
7. GRSG considered ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/22, tabled by the expert from EC, to align Annex 11 of the UN Regulation with Regulation (EU) 1230/2012. The expert from Hungary introduced GRSG-107-04 (for information only) arguing that ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/22 did not correctly addressing the issue of volume and location of the masses. The expert from OICA introduced GRSG-107-19, amending ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/22. Finally, GRSG adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/22 as amended below. The secretariat was requested to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their March 2015 sessions, as draft Supplement 3 to the 05 series of amendments and as Supplement 3 to the 06 series of amendments to the UN Regulation.
Annex 11,
Paragraph 3.2.3.2.1., amend to read:
| “3.2.3.2.1. | The vehicle in running order … … B (kg), declared by the manufacturer, shall have a numeric value not less than 100 x V. V is the total volume of baggage compartments in m3 including exterior racks, ski-boxes and baggage compartments, that are attached to the outside of the vehicle. BX, declared by the manufacturer, shall have a numeric value not less than 75 kg/m2… …” |
12. The expert from EU presented GRSG-106-25 proposing to align the provisions of UN Regulation No. 107 on the loading conditions of the baggage compartment with those of the corresponding EU Regulation. GRSG noted general support on the proposal and requested the secretariat to distribute GRSG-106-25 with an official symbol for further consideration at its next session.
