Informal Group on Service Doors, Windows, and Emergency Exits | Session 6 | 7-8
Sep 2011
The group firstly reviewed the documents SDWEE-06-05 and SDWEE-06-07 from HUN. HUN deplored that the current text of the regulation only considers one past-accident position, i.e. vehicle standing on its wheels.
D recalled that the side windows are indeed used in some accidents where the vehicles remains on its wheels, and was keen that the text is amended such that the side windows are kept as possible emergency exits.
The secretary found too demanding the principle of one emergency exit being not usable. HUN clarified that the purpose is not to request the manufacturer of adding emergency exits.
D informed that its national regulation considers extra emergency exit windows part of the regulatory emergency exits. As a consequence D could not support the HUN proposal that windows are never considered as main emergency exits. In addition, should the side windows be deleted from the number of mandatory emergency exits, then the only difference with the current text of the regulation would be that the rescue hammers would disappear from the vehicles. The expert from D then concluded it positive to keep them among the mandatory emergency exits.
The traditional design in the UK was to have one door each side of the vehicle and each end of the vehicle. Because of the alignment of national rules on the upgraded UNECE R107, the UK subsequently diverged from this traditional design. Mr. McKenzie, while having sympathy with the principles of HUN, was puzzled of accepting the HUN proposal for “historical reasons”, because these principles would imply reversing to the previous traditional design.
The group decided to review document SDWEE-02-07-Rev.3 paragraph by paragraph and requested HUN to point out the items relevant to their principles when necessary.

Informal Group on Gaseous Fueled Vehicles | Session 18 | 29 Feb 2012
Mr. Piccolo reminds the group that Mr. Radzimirski (Poland), in the GRPE January session and in subsequent documents circulated to the group, made two main remarks:
- ● As for R.115 proposed amendments, several retrofit system manufacturers find it difficult to meet the emission limit in R.115 because of a certain incapacity to correctly calibrate the engine on gas or, for example, on CNG because of the ineffectiveness of the catalyst. If the possibility to use petrol up to 20% in energy unit was accepted, it would be possible for such manufacturers to extend the operation with petrol in the gas mode after the cold start for some 200 – 250 seconds in a Type I test, in order to satisfy the requirements. As for petrol direct injection engines, that would not be possible since petrol use is mainly required in the second part of the cycle. Mr. Radzimirski proposes, therefore, to limit this provision only to vehicles with direct injection petrol engines.
- ● As for both proposed amendments to R.115 and R. 83, the proposed method for gas ratio calculation (Annex 6B) does not seem to be suitable for reference CNG fuel G25 that is composed of 86% mole of methane and 14% mole of nitrogen (average percentage). The measured CNG mass consumed during the cycle by fuel weighing (numerator of the gas energy ratio) would correspond to the total mass of methane and nitrogen, while the denominator would estimate only the equivalent mass of methane consumed during the cycle. In the case of G 25 reference gas, the calculated gas energy ratio would, therefore, be higher than the actual one. Therefore, the method for G25 needs correcting via, for example, a correction coefficient.
As for the first remark, Mr Piccolo stated that AEGPL shared the concern of Mr Radzimirski and, in principle, would keep the two regulations aligned. However, if the group agrees such a “decoupling” of the two proposals making R.115 more restrictive in comparison with R 83, AEGPL would not oppose it.
Regarding Mr Radzimirski’s second remark, AEGPL asks the group and, in particular, NGVA Europe to specify some correction factors to the gas energy ratio in the case of testing with G25.
Mr. Del Alamo (NGVA Europe) indicated that Fiat does not see the necessity of the amendment to R 83.
Mr. Tappe (CLEPA/Bosch) suggested to leave to the discretion of the OEM’s the opportunity to use the two fuels, gas and petrol, in the most synergistic way for any type of engine system, be it a PSI or GDI. This is in line with a request for more flexibility made by OEM suppliers. OEMs, to respect the CO2 obligations, are forced to minimize the use of petrol and have no reason to misuse of petrol to fulfil the emission limits in the gas mode. That said, due to some safety concerns about the gas mass measurement by weighing, Mr Tappe asked the group to evaluate a different method based on petrol and gas ECU’s data, validated by a proper initial comparison with the official results coming from the application of FC (carbon balance) formulae.
Mr. Castagnini (AEB) expressed concern that a change of this type would delay submitting the formal document. Hence, he suggests to add the new method proposed by CLEPA as an alternative.
My Rijnders, taking into account the positions of the members, proposed to convert the present R.83 proposal (GRPE-63-05-Rev.1) into a formal document for the next GRPE session with no modifications. As for the R.115 proposal, the formal document based on the informal GRPE-63-06-Rev.1 will reflect the comment received by the Polish expert, in restricting the scope of the provision related to the 80% minimum limit for gas energy ratio only to vehicles with petrol direct injection engines. In addition, Mr. Rijnders asked Mr Tappe to provide an appropriate text containing provisions for an alternative method to weighing the mass of gas. This could possibly be included in an informal document to be submitted to the June 2012 GRPE by GFV.
Furthermore, it is agreed that an adequate correction factor for G25 will be part of an informal document for the next GRPE session.
The group agrees and provide for a consistent revision of GRPE-63-06-Rev.1.

9. The Expert from Poland introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2012/27 proposing to remove the present 2000 lm borderline and the Light Emitting Diodes (LED) automatic levelling requirement. The proposal received several comments (GRE-68-20, GRE-68-31, GRE-68-32 and GRE-68-34).
10. GRE agreed with the suggestion of the expert from the Netherlands to concentrate requirements only on the “initial aiming” (and leave out the other parts on labelling, photometrics, etc.). It was also suggested that the proposal would focus on possible overlaps to the headlamp mounting height and would consider this “new approach” for the initial aiming requirements as an alternative to the existing (“old approach”) requirements in UN Regulation No. 48. GRE agreed to resume consideration of this subject at its next session on the basis of a revised proposal tabled by the expert from Poland including the suggestions mentioned above.
11. GRE noted that the World Forum (WP.29) referred back ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2011/99 and Corr. 1 for further consideration. GRE agreed to resume consideration of this subject at its April 2013 session.

12. The expert from Poland introduced a revised proposal ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2014/11 on initial aiming of dipped-beam headlamps and considering the original 75 +/-25 m visibility distance requirement.
13. GRE was of the view that the study had pointed out that the type of light source and its luminous flux are not the deciding factors in headlamp glare. Instead, the most important factors seem to be the vehicle pitch angle, loading conditions and initial headlamp aim. Therefore, the light source choice (LED) and the light source 2,000 lm criteria in UN Regulation No. 48 were found unnecessarily restrictive and creating barriers to new technologies. Different views were expressed whether automatic levelling should become a requirement for all categories of vehicles and light sources. Operating voltage was also mentioned as an additional factor of glare.
14. GRE invited the experts from Poland, GTB and OICA to submit one coherent proposal for amendments to UN Regulation No. 48 addressing the visibility distance and glare issuto the next GRE session.

14. The expert from GTB recalled the outcome of the GTB study on visibility and glare (GRE-71-32) and presented a first draft of amendments to Regulation No. 48 addressing the visibility distance and glare issues (GRE-72-07). This proposal received comments by the expert from Poland (GRE-72-23-Rev.1). Various experts generally agreed that the current requirement for automatic levelling in Regulation No. 48 (2,000 lm luminous flux of the light source) should be replaced by other deciding factors for headlamp glare, such as the vehicle pitch angle, loading conditions and initial headlamp aiming. However, no consensus was reached on exact replacement criteria. The expert from UK suggested that an informal group be established to speed up the finalization of the amendment proposal. The experts from France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands were of the view that GTB should be tasked to submit a concrete proposal to the next session of GRE. GRE invited GTB, OICA and interested Contracting Parties to organize a meeting with the aim to elaborate a revised proposal. The experts from France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland and UK expressed their interest in participating in this meeting.

17. The experts from OICA and GTB proposed to introduce new criteria on the automatic levelling of headlamps based on the outcome of the GTB glare and visibility studies (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2015/5). The expert from Poland suggested further modifications to this proposal (GRE-73-28). The experts from Germany and Japan proposed to impose automatic levelling in all cases, in order to reduce glare problems for drivers (GRE-73-18). Following an in-depth exchange of views on these three documents, GRE realized that no consensus could be found as long as there was no single proposal.
18. To make progress on this issue and prepare a comprising proposal, GRE decided to establish an Informal Working Group with a draft title “on Visibility, Glare and Levelling” (IWG VGL), for which the experts from Germany and Poland agreed to act as Chair and Secretary, respectively. GRE requested IWG VGL to submit its terms of reference for consideration at the next session of GRE and mandated the Chair to obtain, in June 2015, the consent of WP.29 for the establishment of this IWG.

Item w1 (Approval based on worst case class B50x)(R55-07-19)
Mrs. Domagala presented document R55-10-19 as a proposal for this item. This was elaborated in the document R55-10-20. The French delegates argued that the last sentence of §1.1.1 might not be necessary. Mrs. Domagala was asked to rewrite the justification. (During a coffee break Mrs. Domagala and Mr. Svensson outlined an alternative justification as in R55-10-20. This was not reviewed by the group and Mrs. Domagala shall elaborate to the next meeting
Item w2 (Approval based on worst case class B50x)(R55-07-19)
This matter was dropped.
Item w3 (Alternative performance values)(R55-10-22)
KBA request a more stringent definition of alternative performance values. The base proposal assumed alternative values for a single component. However Mr. Westphäling showed that it is more to this than that. When broaden the scope to a family or range of products this becomes more complex. Mr. Hansen and Mr. Westphäling was assigned the task to outline a new proposal for the broader scope to the next meeting.
Item w7 (Class H50)( )
KBA requests to add a class H50 which seems missing. Considering the reference to the king-pin drawing in annex 5 Mr. Svensson argued that it might be such that the existing class H50-X is not really motivated. I.e. the class H50 –X shall be replaced by the class H50. Mr. Hansen will check this up to the next meeting.
Item w8 (Wedge angle)( R55-09-20)
Mr. Tagliaferri requested the drawing of the wedge in annex 5 §7.8.1. to changed. The changed drawing is shown in document R55-09-20. This was agreed.
Due to lack of time the remaining item were left to be processed later meetings.

Description: At the May 2015 Type Approval Authorities Meeting (TAAM), Poland raised concerns (attached with this submission) over small M1 vehicles being equipped with aftermarket coupling devices where the vehicle in question is not designed for towing a trailer. In effect, these vehicles are not permitted to tow trailers, but are nonetheless enabled to be equipped for such a purpose by the aftermarket devices. Therefore, Poland proposes to amend UN R55 to ensure that coupling devices are only approved for use on vehicles approved for towing trailers.

21. The expert from Poland informed GRSG about the purpose of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2016/4, proposing to insert into UN Regulation No. 55 an amendment imposing a new general constraint for granting component type-approval for mechanical coupling devices dedicated to category M1 vehicles only if they were designed to tow trailers. He announced the submission of the document to GRRF for consideration at its next session in September. GRSG endorsed that position and agreed to remove the agenda item.
Informal Group on Amendments to UN R55.01 | Session 13 | 12 Apr 2016
Item w14 (Coupling installed to vehicles without towable mass) (GRSG/2016/4)
This item was originating from Poland that had brought it up at the TAAM. It concerns retrofitting a coupling (class A) to a vehicle not having a towable mass assigned by the vehicle manufacturer. Would it be possible to have this installation approved? The general opinion was that it is not possible to have such a vehicle approved according to regulation 55. There is no a possibility make a change to regulation 55 to have such an approval. The argument around this issue went like this. Assigning a towable mass to a vehicle includes a rigorous testing and analysis by the vehicle manufacturer. There are uphill tests, stability test, slalom test, cooling system capacity tests, endurance test for the fixing points, braking system tests, … A vehicle not having a towable mass assigned by the vehicle manufacturer has not been subject to these tests. Accordingly it cannot have a coupling with D-, Dc-, S- or V- value installed. If such installations shall anyway be brought up for an approval it shall be shown that the relevant tests as required by the vehicle manufacturer to assign a towable mass have been carried out. It is the general opinion of the working group that it is a bad practice to install a class A coupling for the sole purpose to enable the usage of special appliances as e.g. bicycle carriers. If such arrangements are still on the agenda it is the opinion of this working group that measures shall be taken that excludes the installation can be used to tow a trailer. Detailed regulation for appliances aimed at other applications than towing a trailer shall be the subject for the GRSG to consider.

At the May 2015 Type Approval Authorities Meeting (TAAM), Poland raised concerns (attached with this submission) over small M<sub>1</sub> vehicles being equipped with aftermarket coupling devices where the vehicle in question is not designed for towing a trailer. In effect, these vehicles are not permitted to tow trailers, but are nonetheless enabled to be equipped for such a purpose by the aftermarket devices. Therefore, Poland proposes to amend UN R55 to ensure that coupling devices are only approved for use on vehicles approved for towing trailers.

46. The expert from Poland proposed to introduce a new optional “Class B1” headlamp (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2016/18). The proposal received remarks from the experts of Germany, Netherlands, UK, CLEPA, GTB and OICA. Some experts pointed out that they would need more time to study the proposal and that it could be considered by IWG SLR when developing performance-based requirements in the future (para. 9 (d) above). GRE invited all experts to send their comments to the expert from Poland and decided to keep this issue on the agenda of the next session.

29. The expert from Poland introduced a slightly revised proposal for a new optional ‘Class B1’ headlamp (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2016/18 and GRE-76-26). The expert of CLEPA expressed a number of concerns over the proposal and pointed out that more time would be needed to analyse it in detail. The expert of IEC pointed out that the proposed measurement procedures should be clarified and that the proposal could benefit from editorial improvements. The expert of SAE supported the performance-based approach of the Polish proposal and offered to work with the expert from Poland on alternative requirements and evaluation methods for headlamps. GRE agreed that this issue should be dealt with by IWG SLR (stage 2 of the simplification process to introduce technologically-neutral and performance-based requirements), possibly through the establishment of a task force.

21. The expert from Poland introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2016/32 proposing to introduce requirements in Regulation No. 55 imposing that a coupling device can only be installed on an M1 vehicle which was designed for its installation. The intention of the proposal received a general support. The expert from Denmark proposed that it should also apply to vehicles of category N1. The experts from the Netherlands and Spain noted that the text of the Regulation already contained provisions in that sense (a list with such provisions is available in the IWG working paper R55-07-06). GRRF supported the idea proposed and agreed to revisit this item at its January 2017 session on the basis of a revised proposal that the experts from Denmark, the Netherlands, Poland and Spain volunteered to prepare.

20. The Chair of GRRF recalled the purpose of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2016/32, aimed at imposing a new general constraint for granting component type-approval for mechanical coupling devices dedicated to category M1 vehicles only if the vehicle type is designed to tow trailers. An ad hoc group of experts proposed an alternative wording, in GRRF-83-25-Rev.1.
21. GRRF adopted the proposal as reproduced in Annex III and requested the secretariat to submit it as part of the Supplement 7 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 55 (Mechanical coupling) to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their June 2017 sessions.

24. The expert from Poland introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2018/8 on simplifying and adapting the Regulation to technical progress, specifically for the definition of a type of container and Annex 2B. On the removal of text in the communication form marked in strikethrough, a number of experts preferred to be in line with other UN Regulations and to keep the strikethrough text. The experts from Italy and AEGPL raised study reservations. GRSG noted concerns on the proposal and suggestions on the optional use of versions and variants in the communication form as the Regulation only specifies a definition for type of container, but not for accessories. After discussion, the expert from AEGPL volunteered to prepare with other stakeholders, a new proposal for consideration at the next GRSG session.

36. The expert from Poland recalled the purpose of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2018/8 to adapt the Regulation to technical progress, specifically for the definition of a type of container and Annex 2B. The expert from LG Europe introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2018/20 as a counterproposal. A number of experts welcomed the amendments to Annex 2B, but could not support the amendments to the definition of “Type of container”. After discussion, GRSG adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2018/20 except the amendments to paragraph 2.4. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal as amended to WP.29 and AC.1 as draft Supplement 16 to the 01 series of amendments and as draft Supplement 1 to the 02 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 67 for consideration at their March 2019 sessions.

31. The expert from IWG SLR recalled the previous discussions on the aiming diagram in paragraph 6.2.6.1.2. (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/81, para. 10 and Annex II) and presented GRE-82-25, which had been prepared in line with the GRE request. The expert from Poland proposed a revised diagram (GRE-82-43). For the diagram in GRE-82-25, the experts from Japan, Poland and the United Kingdom expressed their preference to maintain the 2000 lm criteria for automatic levelling and headlamp cleaning. The experts from Germany and the United Kingdom pointed out the need to consider the aiming tolerance for the purposes of, respectively, Periodic Technical Inspections (PTI) and Conformity of Production (CoP). GRE requested IWG SLR to consider the above elements and to prepare a revised document for the next session of GRE.

30. The expert from Poland requested deferral of discussion on the belt-guide, that was type approved by the authority of her country, to the December 2020 session of GRSP due to the research test results on the belt-guide, which had not yet been made available by the expert of EC. The experts from the Netherlands and ANEC/CI argued that discussion was needed on this subject since they considered this type of CRS as dangerous. The expert from the Netherlands introduced GRSP-67-05 explaining that the belt-guide was not in the scope of the UN Regulation and could not be type approved; as such, the type approval should be withdrawn. Finally, with reference to the procedure of the 1958 Agreement, Revision 3, Articles 4.2., 10.4 and Schedule 6 (paragraphs 2 and 3), he stated that through GRSP-67-05 he sought support from other contracting parties and cooperation from the expert of Poland to avoid starting the arbitration process – according to Schedule 6 of the 1958 Agreement. The expert from ANEC/CI, introduced GRSP-67-10 and GRSP-67-36 showing the high risk of abdominal injuries in both cases due to severe submarining. In anticipation of the above-mentioned test results, the expert from Poland introduced GRSP-67-32, showing some results of tests demonstrating the performance of this belt-guide type under laboratory conditions. She also clarified that the belt-guide was type approved according to Supplement 10 to the 04 series of amendments. However, she added that according to some stakeholder opinions, this belt-guide type should had been tested according to Supplement 11, thus making the device subject to different criteria. However, she stated that in her opinion there was a clear legal basis which demonstrated that the type approval granted under Supplement 10 was the correct one. The expert of the Netherlands responded by stating that, apart from the fact that this device does not comply with several requirements of UN Regulation No. 44, a supplement only clarifies existing requirements or test procedures and does not introduce new requirements. Even when Supplement 10 was in force, it was evident that a belt guide could not be approved as a child restraint.
31. The expert from EC recalled to GRSP, that the group had agreed to his former proposal (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2019/28) to amend the scope of UN Regulation No 44 (Child Restraint Systems) with clarification that a belt-guide cannot be approved under Regulation 44 without being part of a child restraint system (see ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/66, paragraphs 27 and 28). However, he explained that EC had reconsidered the document submission to WP.29, since the interpretation that a “guide strap” and similar devices cannot be separately approved as a child restraint system, had already been endorsed by WP.29 at its March 2012 session (see ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1095, paragraph 35). Therefore, he introduced GRSP-67-31, that was only on the phase out of UN Regulation No. 44.
32. The Chair of GRSP referred to Schedule 6 of the 1958 Agreement, and stressed full consideration of the different opinions of the Type Approval Authorities of the concerned contracting parties, and of contracting parties applying UN Regulation No. 44. Therefore, the experts from France, Germany, Italy, Russian Federation, Spain, Switzerland and United Kingdom explicitly endorsed the request of the expert from the Netherlands to withdraw the type approval granted by Poland on the belt-guide, while none of the other present delegates indicated abstention or disagreement. The experts also noted that the Chair encouraged the expert of the Netherlands to continue discussions with the Type Approval Authority of Poland to seek cooperation with Poland in the aim to avoid the arbitration process according to Schedule 6 of the 1958 Agreement, which would start in the November 2020 session of WP.29.
33. GRSP also considered GRSP-67-14, tabled by the expert from France to correct a date in transitional provisions. Finally, GRSP adopted GRSP-67-14 and GRSP-67-31, as reproduced in Annex V to the session report. The secretariat was requested to submit the two proposals as draft Supplement 18 to the 04 series of amendment to UN Regulation No. 44, for consideration and vote at the November 2020 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1.

29. Based on a proposal of IWG SLR, GRE continued its deliberations for preparing a new series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 48 with new requirements for headlamp aiming and automatic levelling (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2020/8/Rev.1). The expert from Poland held the view that the justification part contained mistakes and inconsistencies and recalled his earlier proposals on the subject (GRE-83-41). Several experts expressed their support to the IWG SLR proposal.
30. The expert from OICA proposed to keep an option of manual levelling (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2020/23 and GRE-83-31). Some experts supported this option, while others were not in favour.
31. In the absence of a consensus, GRE stressed the need to finalize the issue as soon as possible and requested IWG SLR to take into account the comments made and to prepare a revised working document for the next session, based on the following principles: - the aiming diagram agreed at the eighty-first session of GRE (Annex II to ECE/TRANS/ WP.29/GRE/81);
- automatic levelling;
- manual levelling, only if a consensus is reached within IWG SLR.
32. The expert from Poland did not agree to that conclusion.
33. GRE instructed IWG SLR to organize a separate meeting on this issue and encouraged all experts of Contracting Parties to participate.
