Proposal to allow for the removal of non-structural parts and accessories in fulfilling the accessibility/inspection provisions of UN R110.

Proposal to amend GRSG/2018/7 by adding the marking “/D” to signify laminated-glass panes subjected to the 2,260 g ball test and the headform test.

Draft regulation proposed by the VRU-Proxi informal working group.

Proposal to delete the reference to visual inspection under the support straps of the cylinders from the text under consideration. Such inspection would require dismantling of the cylinder installations which would contravene the consensus decision to avoid such exhaustive dismantling.

Proposal to amend and clarify the need for a gas flow adjuster under UN R110 with regard to the use of carburetors and fuel injectors. A gas flow adjuster is not necessary when an electronic fuel injection system manages the air/fuel mixture and therefore should be removed from paragraph 18.3.1. An adjuster is needed when air/fuel mixture runs via a carburetor and therefore should be added to paragraph 18.3.2.

Proposal to separate requirements for vehicle immobilizers into a new UN Regulation (from UN R116) in order to facilitate the inclusion of anti-theft regulations in UN R0 on whole vehicle type approvals.

Proposal to clarify that anti-theft-related vehicle components such as keys are not subject to the environmental tests (section 6.4.) of UN R116 which were established for components embedded in the vehicle.

Proposal to remove references to European radio frequency standards (paragraphs 6.2.3., 7.2.3. and 8.2.2.). Telecommunications devices must meet requirements specific to local markets. Therefore, the references to standards specific to European markets (but not other markets) fall outside the purview of UN Regulations.

Proposal to align UN R105 with provisions adopted by the Working Party on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (WP.15) under the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR), edition 2019.

Proposal to allow the use of a generator fueled by the vehicle gaseous fuel system that provides electricity to run accessories (e.g., overnight power in sleeper cabs, to maintain battery charge during high electrical power use with loading or lifting equipment). This proposal would allow for the use of LNG/CNG from vehicle fuel tanks and thereby reduce the potential need to vent gas into the air in response to pressure buildup due to warming over time by using the gas to power other devices and equipment.

Proposal developed by the Gas-fueled Vehicle Regulations Task Force to facilitate periodic inspections of gas containers through better visibility. In addition, Germany suggests adding that paragraph to allow a Contracting Party or a regional organization of Contacting Parties like the EU to refuse national or regional type-approval and to refuse first registration of a vehicle type affected by the changes introduced by the 02 series of amendments but not meeting those stipulations. Paragraph 22.13 is an addition to paragraph 22.9. giving more stress to aspects of national and regional type-approval and of first registration of vehicles.

In addition, Germany suggests adding a paragraph to allow a Contracting Party or a regional organization of Contacting Parties like the EU to refuse national or regional type-approval and to refuse first registration of a vehicle type affected by the changes introduced by the 03 series of amendments but not meeting those stipulations. Paragraph 24.22. is an addition to paragraph 22.18. giving more stress to the aspects of national and regional type-approval and of first registration of vehicles.

Proposal as finalized during the April 2018 GRSG session to amend Annex 7 (laminated-glass panes), inserting a new paragraph 6 to allow optional 2,260 g ball test and headform test for laminated-glass panes. The proposal adds the marking “/D” to signify laminated-glass panes subjected to the 2,260 g ball test and the headform test. The proposal aims to enable the approval of laminated-glass panes with improved mechanical properties, especially as designed for front, exterior, forward-facing glazing of the upper deck of a double-deck vehicle.

OICA comments on document GRSG-114-12.

Proposal to correct the draft text to align with the latest version of UN R46. GRSG/2018/4 aims to clarify the circumstances under which the provision of information through overlays is permissible.

Proposal to align the Communication forms with regard to the separation of approval numbers and extension numbers with the provisions of Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement (E/ECE/TRANS/505/Rev.3) Schedule 4.

Proposal to confirm that M₁ vehicles not fitted with a side airbag are outside the scope of UN R144.

Please note that responsibility for coupling regulations (UN R55 and R147) has been transferred to GRSG from GRRF.

Proposal to introduce requirements for CNG compressor and CNG accumulator components designed to maintain stable pressure in fuel systems.
