Proposal to improve the specifications for LPG multi-valves in response to an LPG vehicle fire that resulted in injuries to first responders. A German Type Approval Authority (KBA) analysis concluded that the hose connecting the PRV/PRD of the multi-valve to the gaseous phase was damaged and hose-fragments blocked both PRV and PRD such that pressure could not be adequately reduced. The PRV and PRD were activated, but the fragments considerably reduced the effective section of the relevant tubing and prevented the release of pressure. This proposal aims to prevent such occurrences.

Proposal to clarify that UN R116 covers protection against unauthorized use “by means of a locking system”.

Proposal to clarify the measurement method of the lateral distance of the pedals to the nearest “wall” to the left.

Proposal to introduce new provisions on the location on the vehicle of the filling unit in order to address

• Difficulties with filling the LPG container (e.g., the filler pistol may be unable to fit the space between ground and filling unit when the vehicle is fully laden)
• Risks involved on occupational health and safety of LPG container filling operators (e.g. necessity to kneel or lie down to fill the fuel containter).

Proposal to define indication lines within the text to enable display of a combined continuous image in a monitor system.

Proposal to introduce a definition for “Aerodynamic devices” and ensure that such devices shall not compromise the functionality of rear underrun protection devices.

Proposal to exempt Zone I from opaque obscuration requirements of GTR 6 under certain conditions.

Proposal for a new UN Regulation on the approval of devices for reversing motion and motor vehicles with regard to the driver’s awareness of vulnerable road users behind vehicles. The purpose of this Regulation is to provide the provisions for reversing motion concerning on awareness of vulnerable road users proximity. UN Regulation No. 46 provides provisions for indirect vision of motor vehicles. This Regulation expands driver’s vision or awareness for vehicle rear direction when in reversing motion. Therefore, some requirements of this Regulation may be satisfied by devices complying with UN Regulation No. 46.

Proposal in line with ISO 2575 to allow for the use of different colors (e.g., red, yellow, green) to convey the status modes (e.g., failure, active) of seven functions via modification of footnote 18 under Table 1.

Proposal to correct erroneous references (to annexes in the regulation as well as to UN R94 and R95) in the text.

Proposal to update Part III of UN R93 to enable approval of truck cabs where the front underrun protection is integrated in the motor vehicle (in order to improve aerodynamic performance). This proposal would define the forward reference point as being the same transverse location where the force is applied. This results in FUPs where (in the case of cab fronts that are curved) at least 400 mm must be maintained along the front contour of the cab, instead of the foremost point. The proposal includes transitional provisions from 1 September 2020.

Proposal to extract provisions from UN R116 in order to establish a separate regulation for the approval of devices to protect against unauthorized vehicle use. The splitting of UN R116 into three separate regulations has been proposed to advance the implementation of the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval system.

Proposal to extract provisions from UN R116 in order to establish a separate regulation for the approval of immobilizers and vehicles equipped with immobilizers. The splitting of UN R116 into three separate regulations has been proposed to advance the implementation of the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval system.

Proposal for a new regulation on uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicle alarm systems and approval of a vehicle with regard to its vehicle alarm system. The regulation would extract provisions from UN R116 in order to advance UN R0 on the international whole vehicle type approval system.
