Latin NCAP press release: “Safety levels of cars in Latin America still too low but some brands are making progress”.

Proposal to clarify that coupling systems of the battery-charging system (i.e., rechargeable energy storage system, REESS) which are not energized during driving need not meet the requirements established for systems designed to be energized during driving (and thus significant in case of accident).

Proposal from the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) to include requirements for automatic door locking systems. This OICA proposal would allow for ‘mixed configuration’ of both locked and unlocked doors during testing.

Proposal by the secretariat to incorporate into Supplement 4 to the 01 series of amendments to the Regulation two new paragraphs for transitional provisions that were adopted by the World Forum at its 155th session in November 2011, but inadvertently omitted from the final text.

Text adopted by the GRSP to correct the text for electric vehicles in UN R94, replacing the word “power train” with “occupants” in the referenced rules, ‘registration’ with ‘approval’ in transition provisions in accordance with WP.29 guidelines, and correcting use of the acronym “RESS” to “REESS”.

GRSP/2012/11 proposes to correct text for electric vehicles in UN Regulation Nos. 12, 94, 95 and 100, replacing the word “power train” with “occupants” in the referenced rules. This document replaces ‘registration’ with ‘approval’ in transition provisions in accordance with WP.29 guidelines.

Document GRSP/2012/7 proposes adapt the test procedures of UN R94 to take into account vehicles equipped with automatically activated door locking systems. This OICA proposal, revised pursuant to GRSP-51 input, would allow for ‘mixed configuration’ of both locked and unlocked doors during testing.

Progress report to the Working Party on Passive Safety on the development of amendments to enhance UN R94 on frontal impact protection.

Document GRSP/2012/7 proposes adapt the test procedures of UN R94 to take into account vehicles equipped with automatically activated door locking systems. This OICA proposal would allow for ‘mixed configuration’ of both locked and unlocked doors during testing.

Draft progress report for presentation to the Working Party on Passive Safety for review and approval by the Informal Group on Frontal Impact Protection.

Overview of the goals for the proposed overhaul of the regulation on frontal impact occupant protection (UN R94).

Agenda for the 14th session of the informal group on frontal impact protection. Note that the meeting is scheduled for September 7, not June 7 as shown on the document.
