Supporting document to the proposal from the informal working group on Automated Connections between Vehicles concerning the referencing of ISO13044-2:2013 in the proposed amendments to UN Regulation No. 13.

OICA positions opposed to the Japanese proposal for new regulations to govern lane-keeping assist systems and parking assist system, arguing that such systems are already covered under UN Regulation 79.

OICA notes the change in name of “ASTM” to “ASTM International”.

Correction to ISO reference since Byte 3-4 of EBS 11 is only referenced in Part 2 of ISO 11992 and therefore the text should make explicit that reference along with amendment 1:2007. Also proposes to omit several redundant footnotes and references.

Text prepared by the informal working group on Automated Connections between Vehicles (ACV) to introduce automatic coupling systems into UN Regulation No. 13.

Text prepared by the International
Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) and the European Association of Automotive Suppliers (CLEPA) to effect an extensive set of corrections and clarifications to formulas and references used UN Regulation No. 13, based on document GRRF-74-31.

Text prepared by the informal group on Regulation No. 55 to amend the requirements for movable couplings, increase the range of application of remote controls to couplings similar to C50-X and G50-X, enable the increase of characteristic values of standard couplings and to add requirements for the mounting of couplings.

Proposal to incorporate additional tire sizes within the regulation for commercial vehicle tires sold in countries requiring type approval according to UN Regulation No. 54.

Proposal to include ATV tires in the motorcycle and moped tire regulation in order to enable the type approval of tires designed to equip quadricycles covered by the new Regulation (EU) No. 168/2013 of 15 January 2013 on the approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles (L category vehicles). These tires may also equip some agricultural tractors (SbS vehicles) covered by the new EU Regulation.

Text prepared by the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation (ETRTO) to clarify the test procedure of the second load/speed performance test used for tires designed for speeds above 240 km/h for tires (as identified by the letter code “V” or “Z” in the size designation).

Text prepared by the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation (ETRTO) to remove All Terrain Vehicles (ATV) tires from UN Regulation 106 on agricultural tires.

Text prepared the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation (ETRTO) to introduce new tire sizes.

Editorial improvements to the wording of marking requirements, superseding document GRRF-74-03.

At the 74th GRRF session, CLCCR presented document GRRF-74-37 which noted that a design restriction in UN R79 prevents trailers from using energy from a towing vehicle. Following discussion, a number of delegates indicated their support for an amendment to remove this restriction and enable the use of new technologies.

Text prepared by the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation (ETRTO) to correct editorial errors in the adopted proposal for Supplement 18 to Regulation No. 54 (document WP.29/2012/49).

Text prepared by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to review and simplify the UN R 13-H transitional provisions.

Text prepared by Germany to clarify electrical braking system and energy supply line requirements with regard to towed trailers, including proposals for voltage specifications and inclusion of electro-hydraulic transmission devices within such systems. The text also seeks to align terminology with comparable paragraphs in other UN Regulations.

Text prepared by the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation (ETRTO) in order to correct inconsistencies in time measurement accuracy in Annex 6 of UN R 117.

Supplement 2 to the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 117 (Document WP.29/2012/54) as adopted at the June WP.29 session contained a typo where the snow temperature range for the snow grip test should be ‐4°C to ‐15°C, but the ‘minus’ sign was omitted before the first figure.

Text prepared by the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) to introduce the concept of “revision of approvals” into the UN Regulations under GRRF responsibility in order to align the UN Regulations with the EU Whole Vehicle Type Approval Directive 2007/46/EC in order to ease the administrative burden for both manufacturers and approval administrations regarding the extension of existing approvals.

Series of amendments to clarify a variety of requirements, notably concerning test surface requirements, ABS cycling, and peak braking coefficient measurements.
