Proposal from the GRSG secretariat to correct the “model B” figure illustrating marking provisions with a reference to the 03 series of amendments to UN R31.

Discussion paper proposing an effort to develop safety requirements for the protection of the driver and
tourist guide situation at the front of motor coaches.

Proposal for clarifications and editorial improvements to the draft amendment to require, in instances where that ogive covers be removed before conducting the impact damage (drop) test.

Progress report on the effort to improve the behaviour of M₂ and M₃ general construction of buses in case of fire events.

Proposal to add a drawing and text to clarify which requirements apply to which parts of the windscreen wiper.

Proposal to delete the reference to abrasion requirements in Annex 3, paragraph 6.4.1.3. since abrasion resistance is not relevant in the assessment of resistance to weathering.

Revised version of document GRSG/2018/24 as adopted by GRSG during its 115th session.

Proposal to clarify the treatment of extensions of existing approvals under the new transitional provision guidelines (“Until 31 December 2019, Supplement 5 and Supplement 7 to the 01 series of amendments to this Regulation may not apply to extensions of approvals that were originally granted prior to the entry into force of Supplement 5 and Supplement 7.”)

Proposal to enable application of the designation “twinned wheels” across all Category L vehicles.

Password protected file: ISO/CD 19206-4: Road vehicles — Test devices for target vehicles, vulnerable road users and other objects, for assessment of active safety functions — Part 4: Requirements for bicyclist targets. The proposed new UN Regulation on Blind Spot Information Systems refers to this standard presently under development within ISO. The GRSG secretariat controls access to the working party participants.

Proposal to add a new symbol (as defined by IEC standard 60417-5009) for power on/off controls in electrified vehicles (e.g., electric or fuel cell vehicles).

Proposal to amend the transitional provisions in order to extend the use of the 06 and 07 series beyond 2022 for vehicles not affected by the 08 series of amendments (i.e., new interior fitting visual contrast requirements).

Proposal to exempt rear edges of fenders and rear edges of A pillars under certain conditions from the requirement that sheet metal edges be folded back or fitted with a shield. These edges not easily contacted by VRU in a collision could be blunted instead.

Proposal prepared by OICA per decisions by the task force on gas-fuelled vehicle regulations to resolve issues associated with periodic requalification of CNG cylinders. The proposal amends Annexes 3A and 3B, particularly to state “Contracting Parties requiring a more frequent (than every 48 months) or more stringent periodic requalification of cylinders may do so in accordance with the national or regional requirements.”

This proposal introduces transitional provisions into UN Regulation No. 110 should the proposals in document GRSG/2018/11 be adopted. GRSG/2018/11 would change the technical requirements for vehicles equipped with CNG compressors and/or accumulators and therefore would transitional provisions be applicable.

Proposal to redefine “key” to include “physical device or electronic solution”. At the same time, the proposal excludes “hardware (e.g. smartphone) provided by other than car manufacturer” from this definition.

This proposal introduces transitional provisions into UN Regulation No. 122 should the proposals in document GRSG/2018/21 be adopted. GRSG/2018/21 would change the technical requirements for vehicles equipped with heat pump heating systems and therefore, transitional provisions would be applicable.

Proposal to correct editorial and numbering errors and to clarify references to certain passive safety regulations in the original proposal (regarding the relationship between AECS and the presence of airbag systems in the vehicle).

Proposal to correct and clarify cross-references to testing under Annex 9, including power suppliers other than the back-up power supply.

Proposal to define the scope of the new regulation as vehicles of categories N₂ > 8 t and N₃. The proposal argues against inclusion of M₂ and M₃ vehicles.

In anticipation of improvements to truck-cab aerodynamics, this proposal would update Part III of UN R93 where the front under-run protection is integrated in the motor vehicle by defining the forward reference point as the same transverse location where the force is applied. This results in FUPs that, in the case of cab fronts that are curved, at least 400 mm must be maintained along the front contour of the cab, instead of the foremost point.

Proposal to enable to approval of vehicles equipped with mechanisms other than platforms intended to assist access by persons with reduced mobility. The purpose is to avoid hindering innovation in offering solutions to persons with reduced mobility. The proposal add “lift” to the examples of possible mechanisms and modifies the language to be less specific in references to “wheelchairs” to address persons with reduced mobility regardless of whether they use a wheelchair.

Proposal to clarify the treatment of extensions of existing approvals under the new transitional provision guidelines (“Until 31 December 2019, Supplement 1, Supplement 4, Supplement 5 and Supplement 6 to the 01 series of amendments to this Regulation may not apply to extensions of approvals that were originally granted prior to the entry into force of Supplement 1, Supplement 4, Supplement 5 and Supplement 6.”)

Proposal to clarify the treatment of extensions of existing approvals under the new transitional provision guidelines (“Until 31 December 2019, Supplement 5 to the original version of this Regulation may not apply to extensions of approvals that were originally granted prior to the entry into force of Supplement 5”.)

Proposal to clarify the treatment of extensions of existing approvals under the new transitional provision guidelines (“Until 31 December 2019, Supplement 2 to the 01 series of amendments to this Regulation may not apply to extensions of approvals that were originally granted prior to the entry into force of Supplement 2.”)

Proposal to remove ambient light constraints (e.g., 1000 lux threshold) from the draft blind spot information systems text.

Proposal to increase the 0.25 m gap between the vehicle and the bicycle to 0.50 m in order to avoid excessive false positive warnings.

Proposal to add a drawing and text to clarify which requirements apply to which parts of the windscreen wiper.

Proposal to add the text, “In such a case, the motor-vehicle’s user instructions (e.g. owner’s manual, vehicle handbook) shall clearly specify that the removable or repositionable mechanical coupling device shall always be removed or repositioned when it is not in use.”

Proposal to explicitly reference consideration of the time to collision in assessing the blind spot detection system performance.

Proposal for an amendment to provide for the optional use of laminated-glass panes meeting mechanical strength requirements in front, exterior, forward-facing glazing of upper deck of double decked buses instead of laminated windscreen. This is in line with similar proposal discussed in 114th session of GRSG for UN Regulation No. 43.

Updated proposal for Class VIII field of vision and provisions for sonar systems. The updated proposal adds provisions for headrest position and draft text for transitional provisions under discussion with the VRU-Proxi Informal Working Group.

Presentation on rear vision systems for pedestrian protection.

In 2008 WP.29 adopted document WP.29/2008/98 under Supplement 3 to the 02 series of amendments, deleting all marking requirements and transferring them to Annex 11. Nonetheless, Revision 4 of UN R107 as published on the UNECE website erroneously includes the deleted paragraphs. This proposal aims to correct that error.
