Activities to further improve safety of vehicles and provide the drivers with better information on the safety of vulnerable road users around their vehicle

The wording “vehicle master switch” can be misleading for some electric or ADR vehicles. OICA recommends alignment on the text recently harmonized among the GRVA regulations

To improve the effectiveness of LPDs in preventing left- or right-turn collisions, Japan intends to submit the following proposals:
1. Eliminating the exemption for semi-trailer tractors
2. Reducing the lower edge ground clearance of LPDs
3. Clarifying the upper edge structure of LPDs
4. Adding exemption to ensure BSIS requirements

Proposal from TF UN-R 46 to clarify the situation with the new proposed wording for the exemption to be applicable only when the de-energization is activated (not mentioning which feature to be used), there is a feature for de-energization outside the cabin and the driver needs to be informed about the consequences in doing so by the user’s manual.

Proposal by the Task Force on Accessibility of Buses and Coaches and aims to improve accessibility of vehicles of classes M2 and M3

In order to evaluate the conformity to « particular specifications » for devices operation under different test conditions, is there an intention to perform the test on a combined testing bench including different systems to evaluate if the final operationability
including interactions with other devices is ensured or only testing of separate components is sufficient to demonstrate conformity due to complexity of some electronic architectures

Proposal to amend the supplement 5 to the Original Version of UN Regulation No. 158 and this proposal corrects the contents of the working document (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2024/4) and combines the informal document(GRSG-128-14)

Proposal to introduce options for fulfilling the marking requirements of E-marking to avoid redundancy with other UN Regulations and to permit a smaller E-marking (as currently permitted under UN R67 and R158).

Proposal to introduce options for fulfilling marking requirements in cases where more than one UN Regulation applies, including the use of smaller E-markings especially for small components.

Proposal to clarify that indicators, their identifications, and the identifications of controls need not be illuminated when the driver intentionally deactivates illumination and the electric vehicle is not in driving conditions.

Proposal to amend the requirements for the visible volume to the front of the vehicle (relative to the distance between the A-pillars or Inter A-Pillar Distance (IAPD)).

Proposal to remove the possibility of different technical requirements being applied by Type Approval Authorities when mechanical couplings for agricultural tractors with a maximum speed in excess of 60 km/h are submitted for type approval testing. The amendment would align requirements with European Union approvals which are accepted to be technically correct in design and safe to use at all speeds. This is achieved by the removal of the clause in annex 6 that requires different technical requirements for mechanical couplings to be used on agricultural tractors with a maximum speed in excess of 60 km/h.

Proposal to align the wording on compliance with UN R10 (electromagnetic compatibility) with the wording approved by WP.29 for the same provision under UN R157 (WP.29/2023/131).

The Working Party on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (WP.15) during its 114th session noted, on the basis of INF.18 from Germany, that problems could arise during the approval of vehicles intended for the carriage of explosive substances and articles (Class 1) for vehicles intended for the carriage of liquids having a flash-point of not more than 60°C (EX/III and FL vehicles) fitted with a camera monitoring system which complied with the requirements of UN R46.

Paragraph 9.2.2.8.3. of the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) stipulates that the electrical circuits must be broken within 10 seconds after operation of the battery master switch. This might conflict with paragraph 16.1.1. of UN R46 which requires that, after each engine switch-off (intended use), the camera-monitor system remains operational for a period of at least 120 seconds.

This document relates to the establishment of a GRSG task force on UN R46 to resolve this concern.
