Proposal to improve the accuracy of test procedures measuring the stability of the photometric performance, including replacement of the test point HV with points 0.50U/1.5L and 0.50U/1.5R and of percentage values for the heat test at these points with an absolute value of 225 cd.

Status of the Agreement, of the annexed UN Regulations and of amendments thereto, including contact points for testing services and type approval authorities.

Proposal to clarify the Conformity of Production requirements.

Proposal to clarify the Conformity of Production requirements.

The proposed amendments would:

a) clarify possible confusion in the interpretation of the terms “inoperative” and “disconnected”;
b) update requirements for combined braking systems;
c) introduce the “K-method”; and
d) introduce the concept of a representative vehicle based on the
provisions of Regulation No. 13-H.

The main objective of this proposal is to establish an amendment to GTR No. 2 on the Worldwide harmonized Motorcycle emissions Certification-test procedure (WMTC) to insert Environmental and Propulsion Performance Requirements (EPPR), currently only applicable for two-wheeled motorcycles. Where warranted, other amendments or proposals for new regulations may be developed.

Text of the proposed new GTR on light vehicle emissions and fuel consumption as approved at the November special session of the Working Party on Pollution and Energy and submitted to the Forum for consideration and adoption at its March 2014 session.

Report to accompany the proposal for the new GTR on light vehicle emissions and fuel consumption detailing its development.

Progress report on the second-phase development of the GTR on pedestrian safety focused on the introduction of the flexible pedestrian legform impactor (FlexPLI) as a single harmonized test tool in order to enhance the level of protection for lower legs of pedestrians.

Proposal for a further “phase 1b” in the development of the GTR on light vehicle emissions. In order to meet Contracting Party objectives, the draft GTR has been submitted for adoption by the Forum in March 2014. Although the current draft offers a complete test cycle, the WLTP experts want to improve the regulation by further addressing a number of technical elements that were set aside due to time and resource constraints.

This supplement would introduce provisions for fully automatic coupling systems and clarify references in the regulation to Regulation No. 10 on electromagnetic compatibility. This proposal combines two distinct proposals (document GRRF/2013/12 as amended by Annex II to the GRRF 75th session report and document GRRF/2013/13 not amended) approved by the GRRF at its September 2013 session.

This supplement concerns child restraint systems comprised of a base fixture to which a portable shell can be attached. The base fixture is attached to the vehicle by the ISOFIX anchorages in the seating position and the shell attached to the base. However, since the shells may also be designed for use without the base fixture in a configuration where the shell is secured by the adult safety belt of the seating position, this supplement would enable type approvals under UN R129 for this configuration.
