Working draft of the phase 2 revisions to the global technical regulation on head restraints provided to the GRSP at its December 2013 session for informational purposes only.

Draft version of the proposed UN Regulation that would transpose Global Technical Regulation No. 14 on pole side-impact protection into the type-approval system of the 1958 Agreement. This draft is presented for informational purposes only pending submission of a final document for consideration by the GRSP.

Working draft of the proposed amendments to introduce provisions for non-integral CRS (“Universal Booster” or “Specific to vehicle Booster”), incorporating all the changes agreed during the 54th (December 2013) GRSP session.

UN R17, R25 and R80 address head restraints for various categories of vehicles. In order to prevent redundant application of these regulations, this amendment clarifies that head restraints approved under UN R17 would be exempted from the requirements of UN R25 and that UN R25 does not apply to coach and bus seats approved under UN R80.

Proposal to clarify provisions on the headform tests of UN GTR No. 9.

Amendment to introduce all the modifications needed in UN Regulation No. 129 (Enhanced Child Restraint System (ECRS)) that were suggested by the experts of the informal working group on Child Restraint Systems (IWG CRS) to extend the scope of this Regulation to Non-Integral child restraint systems (“Universal Booster” or “Specific to vehicle Booster”) (Phase 2 of the UN Regulation).

Draft text for a new UN regulation on the safety of electric motorcycles and related vehicles.

Draft text for the transposition of GTR No. 13 on hydrogen and fuel-cell vehicle safety into a new UN Regulation under the 1958 Agreement. Part 1 of Annex 1 uses the numbering system prepared for the corresponding annexes of the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA) regulation (UN R0) currently under development.

Draft text transposing GTR No. 14 on pole side impact protection into a UN Regulation under the 1958 Agreement. A proposal for the 01 series of amendments (document GRSP/2014/12) has also been prepared to enable the Contracting Parties applying this Regulation to require a vehicle-to-pole impact speed of 32 ±1 km/h regardless of the “vehicle width”.

Proposal for a 01 series of amendments to the proposed new UN Regulation on the approval of vehicles with regard to their pole side impact performance to enable Contracting Parties applying this new regulation to require a vehicle-to-pole impact speed of 32 ±1 km/h regardless of the “vehicle width”.

Certain anti-theft systems fully lock every door and window in a vehicle and also deactivate interior unlock controls. This can lead to a situation where an occupant can be locked inside a vehicle with no means of exit save to break a window. This proposal would introduce provisions for the safety and protection of road vehicle occupants in case of the installation of such a full locking system.

Text prepared by the Informal Working Group on Frontal Impact (IWG FI) as an outcome of discussions of the Working Party on Passive Safety (GRSP) at its fifty-fourth session (ECE/TRANS/WP29/GRSP/54, para. 23) on developing a separate new Regulation on frontal impact focusing on requirements for restraint systems.
.

In parallel with the introduction of a new Regulation on a frontal impact with focus on the restraint system, this proposal would limit the chest deflection of the Hybrid III dummy to 42 mm (from the current 50 mm) in order to promote improved protection of older occupants.

Proposal to require that the vehicle cab remain attached to the vehicle frame by at least three mounting points following the pendulum test.

The present requirement for booster with belt guides for the diagonal belt is more stringent than for boosters without belt guides. This proposal aligns the requirement for belt disengagement with the requirements for other child restraint systems ((e.g. the displacement criteria and the criteria as indicated in Annex 15, para. 6.2.4.) and at the same time proposes new language to clarify the affected text.

The text prepared by Spain on behalf of the Technical Services Group (TSG) on Regulation No. 44. The proposed amendment is intended to clarify a number of technical provisions in the regulation.

Across its various groups, WP.29 has been looking at the definitions of technical terms used in its regulations from the standpoint of consistency. The GRSP secretariat has compiled terms and definitions found in the regulations under its purview that differ across regulations (including those under regulations managed by other GR). This document is proposed for consideration as a possible starting point for the development of a “dictionary” of harmonized terms and definitions.

Proposal to clarify that the recently increased height requirements for the effective upper belt anchorage (Supplement 4 to the 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 14) can be satisfied by means of a “belt adjustment device for height” that is part of the belt-anchorage as well as a device that is part of the belt itself, each with a distinctive approach. The proposals are presented as draft Supplement 7 to the 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 14 and draft Supplement 6 to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 16.

Proposal by the GRSP secretariat to delete Appendix 3 (examination of the mobile impact barrier) to Annex 5 of UN R95. The secretariat suspects that the appendix is superfluous, but wishes to confirm if Appendix 3 should remain for any examination purposes of the Type Approval Authority responsible for the mobile deformable barrier.
