Proposal to transpose the provisions on minimum number of anchorage points and location of lower anchorages from Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3).

Proposal to align the 08 series with previous series of amendments with regard to approval authority notification of modifications that affect technical performance and/or documentation.

Proposal to prohibit new type approvals under UN R44 from [1 September 2020] via the introduction of new transitional provisions. The purpose is to ensure that further child restraint system approvals are made under the UN R129. The proposal also further clarifies the text to explicitly prohibit non-integral belt guides and other seating devices offered separately from the child restraint system.

Proposal to exempt “sensors, cameras, radar devices, etc.” components of approved driver assist systems from the Annex 3 prohibition against damage provided the basic braking and steering performance remains intact.

Proposal to update a reference with the new European Committee for Standardization (CEN) published EN 71-3:2019 on 10 April 2019 and to delete a cut-and-paste error in Annex 6, Appendix 2 taken from UN R44 referring to ECRS as in the “restricted” category which does not exist in UN R129.

Proposal to update a reference with the new European Committee for Standardization (CEN) published EN 71-3:2019 on 10 April 2019, to delete a cut-and-paste error in Annex 6, Appendix 2 taken from UN R44 referring to ECRS as in the “restricted” category which does not exist in UN R129, and to reconcile and consolidate various references to tolerances for the internal geometry assessment.

Proposal to clarify the requirements for the type approval category of booster seats over 135 cm, to update a reference with the new European Committee for Standardization (CEN) published EN 71-3:2019 on 10 April 2019, to delete a cut-and-paste error in Annex 6, Appendix 2 taken from UN R44 referring to ECRS as in the “restricted” category which does not exist in UN R129, and to reconcile and consolidate various references to tolerances for the internal geometry assessment.

Proposal from a drafting task force to:

• Align UN Regulations with the provisions of the revised General Safety Regulation of the European Union, thus, expand the scope of the UN Regulation No. 137,
• Provide appropriate transitional provisions, and
• Make minor adaptations and clarifications to the existing requirements.

Consolidated update of UN R22 from the informal working group on protective helmets, including:

• Reference headforms (shape, dimensions)
• Oblique impact test method of measuring rotational acceleration
• Product of the spectral distribution of radiation of the signal light and standard illuminant D65
• High speed particle test for visors, and
• Test for photochromic, liquid crystal visors.

Proposal to remove restrictions on the scope of the Regulation to M1 and N1 vehicles, to provide appropriate transitional provisions and to make minor adaptations and clarifications to the existing requirements.

Proposal to introduce provisions to avoid the burden of a new road load determination (e.g., NEDC) in cases where the road load has already been performed under GTR 15 (WLTP), to amend provisions on On-Board Diagnostics (OBD), road load coefficient determination, mono fuel gas vehicles pursuant to WLTP, and to introduce definitions for the terms “permanent” and “Limp-home routines”, and to clarify “permanent emission default modes”.

Proposal to introduce provisions to avoid the burden of a new road load determination (e.g., NEDC) in cases where the road load has already been performed under GTR 15 (WLTP), to amend provisions on On-Board Diagnostics (OBD), road load coefficient determination, mono fuel gas vehicles pursuant to WLTP, and to introduce definitions for the terms “permanent” and “Limp-home routines”, and to clarify “permanent emission default modes”.

Proposal to adapt the provisions in UN R101 to allow the usage of road load powers which have been derived from those determined in accordance with UN GTR No. 15 (WLTP).

Proposal to harmonise the requirements of UN R78 with the latest amendments to UN GTR No. 3 adopted by GRVA at its fourth session. Paragraph 5.1.18 aims to clarify with an explicit article that the rider is duly informed when activating a riding mode that disables the ABS on the rear axle.

Proposal to resolve measurement concerns in the test requirements for ACSF of Category B1 and C by introducing provisions for tolerances, including:

1. inclusion of the position at which the lateral acceleration was measured and the position of the centre of gravity of the vehicle for better traceablility,
2. sampling rate of at least 100 Hz for dynamic testing,
3. specification of filters and cut-off frequency for determination of lateral acceleration,
4. option to measure “overriding force” torque via an internal sensor or an external device (e.g., steering robot).

Proposal to stipulate that “Automatic deactivation by the system of the direction indicator is required only if the lane change manoeuvre is initiated automatically, and if the direction indicator control is not fully engaged (latched position) during the lane change manoeuvre.” The proposal also would modify the high-speed test to end once the system has given an optical “hands-off” warning since the entire warning cascade is checked during the low-speed test. For M₂ and M₃ vehicles, the amendment allows a corrective steering function to use haptic signals as an alternative to acoustic signals for these categories of vehicles that are equipped with Lane Departure Warning System compliant with UN R130. This change would specify that the haptic warning may not be given solely via the steering wheel (e.g., provided in the driver’s seat).
