Correction to the type-approval communication form. Paragraph 6.6.2. does not exist in the Regulation No. 118. The form evidently should read Paragraph 6.2.2.

UN co-sponsored conference in Bordeaux, France on the application of intelligent transport systems and mobility services to increase transport efficiencies and road safety.

Amendments by Japan to its proposal to remove the provisions for welded constructions of compressed natural gas (CNG) cylinders or metal liners, including high-strength steel CNG cylinders.

This proposal supersedes document GRSG/2015/28 which would apply testing only to any electric cables, cable sleeves, and cable conduits that exceed a length of 100 mm. Germany’s proposal is for the World Forum to first adopt the sister proposal in document GRSG/2015/29, clarifying the scope and application of UN R118 with regard to cables, and then adopt this present proposal in a subsequent stage as a new series of amendments to UN R118.

Clarification that the proposal to exclude multi-layer glazed windows from the head impact requirements of UN R43 does not directly relate to the work or recommendations of the Informal Group on Plastic Glazing.

Proposal to clarify provisions concerning the deactivation of emergency door controls to prevent doors from being opened while the vehicle is in motion. The proposal specifies the focus on interior controls and would reduce the speed threshold for deactivation from 5 km/h to 3 km/h based on reports from bus operators.

Proposal to revise the AEGPL proposal concerning dual fuel systems (GRSG/2015/35). The proposal introduces ISO 26262:2011 (functional safety of electric/electronic systems) as the basis for assessing safety functions. Germany proposes to require resistance against diesel fuel in addition to petrol fuel (Annex 18). Furthermore, the proposal would require manufacturers to provide a full listing of the parts incorporated within the system to ensure that testing services and approval authorities have a clear understanding of any elements that may be safety-related.

Proposal to allow for the approval of speedometers and odometers that display figures either in km/h or mph (but not both simultaneously) provided that the driver is enabled to select between the metric or imperial measurement display modes.

Presentation on the proposal to allow for limited flows of petrol into the LPG tank of dual fuel vehicles.

UN R107 includes a provision to prevent a folding seat used by the crew from obstructing the view of the exterior rear-view mirror. GRSG approved the Netherlands proposal (document GRSG/2015/14) to apply this restriction to rear-view camera monitors. Germany submits, however, that because the positioning of monitors inside the vehicle differs from that of exterior mirrors, direct application of these requirements may result in positioning below the line of sight and therefore proposes to clarify the requirement to ensure safe installation of rear-view monitors and mirrors.

Proposal to delete the exclusion of “vehicles designed and constructed for special purposes where it is not possible, for practical reasons, to fit lateral protection devices” from the text. The UK submits that paragraphs 13 and 16 provide specific provisions that address this situation whereas the exclusion clause allows for a broader interpretation that unnecessarily limits the use of lateral protection devices.

Revised proposal, taking into account comments from the previous GRSG session, to allow for small variations in the presentation of motorcycle telltales and control symbols that do not deviate to such an extent as to cause confusion.

Information on BASt research into heavy vehicle accidents and fatalities involving cyclists. Germany intends to propose the mandatory installation of blind-spot detection systems for such vehicles.

Presentation on low-speed vulnerable road user accidents, especially to the sides and rear of the vehicle, suggesting need for rear-view countermeasures (e.g., UN R46).

Proposal to modify UN R125 in line with the proposed amendment to UN R46 (indirect vision) that introduces the use of camera-monitor systems (CMS) in place of rear-view mirrors (i.e., document GRSG/2015/2). This proposal is part of a package of proposals to amend the UN Regulations impacted by the amendment to UN R46 and would extend the provisions for rear-view mirrors to CMS devices.

Proposal to amend UN R67 to allow for limited flows of petrol into the LPG tank of dual fuel vehicles, taking into account comments received during the 109th GRSG session.

Proposal as adopted by the 109th GRSG session to revise the provisions for welded constructions of compressed natural gas (CNG) cylinders or metal liners, including high-strength steel CNG cylinders. This proposal has been integrated with the proposal to regulate the discharge direction of pressure relief devices on CNG containers adopted by the 108th session. This document will be submitted as a revision to WP.29/2015/90 at the November 2015 World Forum session.

Revised proposal, pursuant to the discussions at the 109th GRSG session, to modify UN R125 in line with the proposed amendment to UN R46 (indirect vision) that introduces the use of camera-monitor systems (CMS) in place of rear-view mirrors (i.e., document GRSG/2015/2). This proposal is part of a package of proposals to amend the UN Regulations impacted by the amendment to UN R46 and would extend the provisions for rear-view mirrors to CMS devices.
