Proposal to introduce new and enhanced requirements for the car-to-pedestrian test scenario. These requirements would be phased in from May 2024.

Proposal to require that the vehicle manufacturer’s statement regarding frequency bands, power levels, antenna positions and installation provisions for the installation of radio frequency transmitters (RF-transmitters) be added to the information document (e.g. under item 63, Annex 2A) to facilitate conformity of production and other compliance checks.

Proposal to insert a minimum luminance gradient as an alternative criteria. The current text requires a certain “asymmetry” of the Light Emitting Area (LEA) in order to ensure a “minimum worst-case gradient”; however, this requirement has been deemed too design-restrictive.

Proposal to differentiate light source modules in cases where a signalling device contains more than one different module, to restore the sequential activation of direction indicators of categories 11, 11a, 11b, 11c and 12, which were included in UN Regulation No. 50 but omitted when UN R148 was developed during SLR Stage 1, to delete a footnote indicator, and to delete characters from a figure on the standard light distribution of devices.

Proposal to reintroduce the run-up provisions for high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps that were unintentionally omitted from the original text of UN R149.

Proposal to correct a paragraph reference (‘3.3.2.2’ in place of ‘3.2.3.2’) and to insert a provision from UN R3 (para. 4.1.2.) unintentionally omitted from the original text.

Proposal from the WP.29 Secretariat to clarify the text with regard to the periodicity of technical inspections.

Proposal from the WP.29 Secretariat to clarify the text with regard to the periodicity of technical inspections.

Proposal to align GTR No. 3 with technical progress, addressing among others: electromagnetic compatibility/immunity of ABS-systems, ABS performance requirements for category 3-5 vehicles (three-wheelers), uniform requirements for equipment such Emergency Stop Signal and the means to disable the ABS, if equipped. This amendment aims to harmonize GTR with recent amendments made to UN Regulation No. 78 while addressing its use under self-certification compliance systems.

Proposal to amend light source categories L1A/6 and L1B/6 in the Consolidated Resolution on the common specification of light source categories (R.E.5). This proposal is intended to enter into force simultaneously with draft Supplement 10 to the original version of UN Regulation No. 128.

WP29 to consider the request from USA for authorisation to develop a UN GTR on the Determination of Electrified Vehicle Power (DEVP)

WP29 to consider the request from Republic of Korea for authorization to develop an amendment to UN GTR 6 (Safety Glazing)

Proposal to correct values presented in document WP.29/2020/18 and clarification of “first point of information” application in assessment of BSIS.

Proposal to correct errors identified in the text of Supplement 8 (document WP.29/2019/45) as adopted by the World Forum.

Proposal to introduce provisions for

• the approval of Remote Control Manoeuvring (RCM) systems
• a “two-step Human Machine Interface” in the requirements for Automatically Commanded Steering Functions (ACSF) of Category C lane-change functions, and
• to resolve measurement concerns in the test requirements for ACSF of Category B1 and C by introducing provisions for tolerances, including:
  • 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,
  • sampling rate of at least 100 Hz for dynamic testing,
  • specification of filters and cut-off frequency for determination of lateral acceleration,
  • option to measure “overriding force” torque via an internal sensor or an external device (e.g., steering robot).

Proposal for clarifications and corrections, including an update to reference ISO 5130:2019.

Proposal to:

1. include the load variation with speed for IF and VF tyres in Table A of Annex 7
introduce a new paragraph (2.18.13) and amend paragraph 3.1.9.and Annex 3,part D to reconcile contradictions
2. clarify Annex 6 “Test method for measuring tyre dimensions” via references to other provisions
3. Correct example in Annex 3, part C by introducing the dimension “b” for the tyre size designation, and
4. Modify inflation pressure markings.

Proposal to allow an alternative positioning and spacing of escape hatches on buses of Classes A and B to address limitations for shorter vehicles.

Proposal to introduce provisions for activation of a “temporary modified view” (such as change in image magnification or resolution) per ISO 16505:2015 to complement the static Class II field of vision using a Camera Monitoring System (CMS).

Proposal to introduce electromagnetic specifications for the approval of an electronic device, such as a transponder — even without the traditional functionality of a mechanical key — under UN R62 via reference to UN R10 on electromagnetic compatibility (as is the case under UN R116).
