Presentation in support of Japan’s proposal to increase the stringency of UN R34.

Comparison of the OICA and German proposals to set new requirements for rear under-run protection devices.

This proposal corrects an editorial mistake in the tolerances of Annex 6. In Annex 10, paragraph 3.2.2.2. and in Annex 12, paragraph 3.2.2., the correct tolerance should read: 1.5m +0/-5mm. (The same tolerances also appear in UN GTR No. 6, paragraphs 5.4.3. and 6.5.4.2.)

Presentation highlighting concerns regarding the separate development of UN R110 and ISO 11439 provisions resulting in diverging test protocols and other differences.

Presentation concerning the asynchronous use of an indicator space for communicating information to the driver. The presentation explains the concept of this “common space” that two or more symbols may share but only use one at a time. The presentation proposes that two or more symbols might be displayed sequentially in the same common space (i.e., alternately flashing symbols).

Presentation in support of the proposal to include odometer provisions in UN R39, including a review of references to odometers across other UN Regulations.

Presentation in support of the development of technical regulatory specifications to prevent odometer tampering.

European Commission request for input on the possible type approval of new systems that enable unlocking cars via smart phones and that send silent alarms to security services via the Internet.

Adopted version of the proposal by Japan (GRSG/2014/16) to amend provisions for testing of fire risks in rear-end collisions as amended during the May 2014 GRSG session.

Revised proposal to add classifications covering agricultural trailers and towed agricultural machinery in the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3).

Query concerning the intent of the proposed changes to the test procedures for rear underrun protection devices (RUPD). Sweden believes that the wording of the amendments proposed in document GRSG/2014/18 would change the nature of RUPD from being generic devices for installation across ranges of vehicle types to being vehicle-specific devices requiring repetitive testing for approval to be installed on a range of vehicles. Therefore, Sweden raises the question of whether this is the intent of the German proposal.

Proposal to add classifications covering agricultural trailers and towed agricultural machinery in the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3).

Proposal to update the reference to ISO 6722 in the cable test (i.e. replace the reference to IS0 6722 paragraph 12 with a reference to ISO 6722-1:2011 paragraph 5.22).

Proposal to introduce a new class of CNG components (Class 6) operating at a higher pressure.

Proposal to clarify the provisions for the periodic inspection of pressure relief valves.

Proposal to regulate the direction of discharging the pressure relief devices of CNG containers.

Proposal to align Annex 11 of UN R107 with Regulation (EU) 1230/2012. Annex 11 was originally based on EU Directive 97/27 EC (type approval of vehicles with regard to their masses and dimensions) which has now been replaced by Regulation (EU) 1230/2012, thus prompting the need for realignment.

Text prepared by Germany on behalf of the Informal Group on Plastic Glazing (IGPG) to introduce new provisions for windscreens and for laminated plastic panes other than windscreens.

Annotated provisional agenda for the Fall 2014 session of the Working Party on General Safety.

Text prepared by the Netherlands and the International Association for Natural Gas Vehicles (IANGV/NGV Global) to clarify the provisions of Chapter 18 following the introduction of automatic valves (see report GRSG/84, para. 38).

The newly introduced systems to detect excessive temperatures and/or smoke enable the driver to act immediately to ensure the safety of the passengers. This implies the possibility of braking, stopping, or some other response which could impact other road users. Therefore, this proposal would require the hazard warning lights to be activated (which will require consideration by the WP.29 Working Party on Lighting and Light-signalling Equipment). The proposal also proposes transitional provisions for the implementation of the new requirements.
