Proposal to clarify the vehicle conditions of the test methods for detection systems in Annex 10, including to specify that not only rear hatches or trunk lids but also the tail gates of cargo trucks and van-type vehicles should be closed or latched in their normal vehicle operating condition during the test.

Proposal to correct references to paragraphs 1.3.2. instead of 3.1.2. and 1.3.1. instead of 3.1.

Note from the chair of GRVA.

Proposal to stipulate that “vehicle alarm systems (VAS) approved in accordance with the provisions of Regulation No. 163 on Alarm System are deemed to comply with Part II of this Regulation.”

Proposal to add a direct vision case figure for ambinocular vision to avoid misinterpretation of the indirect vision case figure and to modify the impact safety requirements for FLVCS and Detection system for consistency with CMS requirements of UN R46.

Proposal to introduce definitions of “escape hatch” and “emergency exit”, a test requirement for these devices, and provisions to ensure that elements that can move and enter the residual space of passengers after the bus overturning are present during testing, including provisions on fire extinguishers.

The Working Party on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (WP.15) has noted 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.

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 proposal aims to resolve the disparity between UN R46 and requirements for ADS vehicles.

Proposal to introduce provisions for the specifications and calibration procedure of the 3-D “H”-point machine and the procedure for determining the “H”-point and the actual torso angle for seating positions in motor vehicles, to be used in all referenced UN Regulations and GTRs.

Revised proposal intended to supersede the text proposed in GRSG/2024/4 (proposal to clarify that indicators, their identifications and identifications of controls need not be illuminated under certain conditions).

Proposal from the task force on UN R46 to address pure Class 1 monitor positioning relative to driver wearing bifocal eyeglasses, requirements for surveillance cameras (including definition of “Surveillance camera-monitor-recording device”), approval marking for devices with more than one field of view, provisions on obstruction of the field of view, provisions for the rounding of the magnification factors, clarification of provisions to avoid conflict with ADR rules, clarification of external surface, radius of curvature requirement on the backside of Class I mirrors, and corrections to the text.

Proposal to clarify the pendulum test procedures (based on UN R46 task force discussions).
