The 03 series of amendment introduced a new Test C into UN Regulation No. 29. This proposal adds specifications for the test rig in the case where a pendulum impactor is used (as is already prescribed for Tests A and B). To improve the repeatability of the test, the submission further proposes to place the cab on a horizontal surface and to fix the pendulum with a required angle of 20° of impact against the cab to be tested. This proposal also adds language to require that the vehicle cab remain attached to the vehicle frame by at least three mounting points following the pendulum test.
24. The expert from the Russian Federation introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/4, introducing requirements to ensure that, during a pendulum impact test, the cab should remain safely attached to the chassis frame. GRSP adopted the proposal, as amended by Annex III to the session report. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal to WP.29 and AC.1, for consideration and vote at their June 2015 sessions as draft Supplement 3 to the 03 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 29.
25. GRSP considered ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/29 tabled by the expert from Germany, aimed at clarifying existing test requirements when a pendulum is used as an impactor. GRSP adopted the proposal, as amended by Annex III to the session report. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal to WP.29 and AC.1, for consideration and vote at their June 2015 sessions as part of draft Supplement 3 to the 03 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 29 (see para. 24. above).
23. The expert from the Russian Federation introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2014/4, proposing that during a pendulum impact test the cab should remain attached to the chassis frame at no fewer than three points. The expert from Sweden argued that the current text of the Regulation was enough to guarantee the aimed level of safety.
