Proposal to enable the approval of the laminated-glass panes with improved mechanical properties, especially as designed for front, exterior, forward-facing glazing of the upper deck of a double-deck vehicle. This request follows the approval by GRSG of a similar amendment to UN R43 (document GRSG/2018/7) and therefore seeks to maintain the alignment between GTR 6 and UN R43.
UN R16: Proposal for Supplement 3 to the 07 series of amendments
Reference Number: WP.29/2018/37
Proposal to clarify that the second level warning requirement in the 02 series of amendments to the UN R16 is dependent upon the needs of each seating position. A strict reading of paragraph 2.45. would require a second-level warning in the event of any unfastened seat-belt in a front or rear position. This proposal would clarify that the second-level warning is required depending on the individual position requirement (e.g., based on detection that a position is occupied).
This proposal (WP.29/2018/37) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-four Contracting Parties out of the 47 applying UN R16 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-four voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
UN R22: Proposal for Supplement 3 to the 05 series of amendments
Reference Number: WP.29/2018/38
Proposal to modify the frequency of conformity of production inspections and random sampling and to prohibit the use of the DETA program Unique Identifier in place of the approval mark specified in UN R22 because the current mark provides important consumer information that would be lost through use of the UI. This latter prohibition has similarly been approved for child restraint systems (UN R44 and R129).
This proposal (WP.29/2018/38) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-three Contracting Parties out of the 45 applying UN R22 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-three voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
UN R44: Proposal for Supplement 14 to the 04 series of amendments
Reference Number: WP.29/2018/39
Proposal to cease new approvals of non-integral group 2 and group 2/3 child restraint systems under UN Regulation No. 44 as of 1 September 2019, to delete a reference to the “Y” symbol denoting a crotch strap, to allow for the use of digital means (QR code, smartphone software application, etc.) in furnishing the consumer with the list of vehicle applications of a CRS, to clarify that the opening force applied to the ISOFIX attachments of a complete seat or of a seat component under the test protocol is 50 ± 1 N, and to clarify the test protocol for positioning and securing the child restraint system on the vehicle.
This proposal (WP.29/2018/39) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-three Contracting Parties out of the 44 applying UN R44 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-three voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.

UN R129: Proposal for Supplement 3 to the 02 series of amendments
Reference Number: WP.29/2018/42
Proposal to specify the proper use and behavior of an adult safety-belt used to install a non-integral Enhanced CRS during dynamic tests. These instructions are present in UN R44, but not in UN R129. Therefore, this proposal would align the two regulations. The proposal also clarifies that the opening force applied to the ISOFIX attachments of a complete seat or of a seat component under the test protocol is 50 ± 1 N.
This proposal (WP.29/2018/42) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-seven Contracting Parties out of the 53 applying UN R129 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-seven voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
UN R137: Proposal for Supplement 1 to the original series
Reference Number: WP.29/2018/43
Proposal to delete a reference to the measurement of the femur bending moments because such measurements are unnecessary under the full width rigid impact test. Specifically, paragraph 5.2.4.1. is changed from “The axial compressive force and the bending moments are measured with a CFC of 600.” to read “The axial compressive force is measured with a CFC of 600.”
This proposal (WP.29/2018/43) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-seven Contracting Parties out of the 53 applying UN R137 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-seven voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
Proposal to clarify the text of UN R14. The current text has produced differing interpretations among Technical Services with regard to which requirements apply to central seating positions in rear rows of category M1 and N1 vehicles and the minimum distance between two effective lower belt anchorages (L1 and L2). The proposed amendments clarify that a reduced minimum distance of 240 mm is only allowed in the case where there is only one central seating position (i.e. in a row of 3 seating positions). Rear seat rows with an even number of seats always shall have a distance of at least 350 mm. Given that it entails new requirements, the proposal is presented as a new series of amendments with transitional provisions (starting from September 2019 through into 2025).
This proposal (WP.29/2018/44) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-five Contracting Parties out of the 48 applying UN R14 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-five voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
Proposal to introduce provisions for the approval of universal belted and specific-to-vehicle belted child restraint systems. The proposal also introduces provisions for lower tether straps. This proposal represents the culmination of the “Phase 3” amendments prepared by the CRS informal group. This amendment concludes the three-phased program to develop a new UN Regulation for CRS to supersede UN R44.
This proposal (WP.29/2018/45) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-seven Contracting Parties out of the 53 applying UN R129 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-seven voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
UN R49: Proposal for Supplement 10 to the 05 series of amendments
Reference Number: WP.29/2018/46
Proposal to improve the “random check requirement” and define the rounding of test results calculated according to Annex 4A in the 05 series of amendments.
This proposal (WP.29/2018/46) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-three Contracting Parties out of the 45 applying UN R49 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-three voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
UN R49: Proposal for Supplement 6 to the 06 series of amendments
Reference Number: WP.29/2018/47
Proposal to improve the Engine Control Unit (ECU) torque signal validation requirement in the 06 series of amendments to R49 with regard to dual-fuel or flex-fuel vehicles. Under the regulation, the ECU torque information can be calibrated only to one fuel’s heat value (usually the basic reference fuel) even though the heat value of the alternative fuel is different. In order to increase the accuracy of the torque values used for calculating the emission results during in-service conformity testing, OICA proposes to change the provisions to either:
Demonstrate that both fuels comply because the ODB system is able to detect the fuel used, or
Determine the torque deviation caused by the alternative fuel heat value compared to the standard fuel and apply this correction factor to calculate a more accurate power signal for the emission calculation.
This proposal (WP.29/2018/47) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-three Contracting Parties out of the 45 applying UN R49 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-three voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
UN R83: Proposal for Supplement 11 to the 06 series of amendments
Reference Number: WP.29/2018/48

Proposal to clarify the wording of the determination of the net power for electric motors and to correct an error in the formula presented in paragraph 5.4.2. Diesel engines – Factor αd. The parameter “fm” in the equation should be a superscript (e.g., meaning “to the power of fm”). Through a transcription error, this factor was rendered in normal text.
This proposal (WP.29/2018/50) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-three Contracting Parties out of the 45 applying UN R85 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-three voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
Proposal of a consolidated revision of UN R96 to align the UN Regulation with Regulation (EU) 2016/162 concerning gaseous and particulate pollutant emission limits and type-approval for internal combustion engines for non-road mobile machinery.
This proposal (WP.29/2018/51) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-one Contracting Parties out of the 42 applying UN R96 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-one voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
This proposal (WP.29/2018/52) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-four Contracting Parties out of the 50 applying UN R120 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-four voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
UN R13: Proposal for Supplement 16 to the 11 series of amendments
Reference Number: WP.29/2018/53
The 02 series of amendments to UN R79 introduced requirements for RCP systems. An RCP system requires the engagement of an EPB (electronic parking brake) once the manoeuvre has finished and the ignition is switched off. This proposal would allow the release or disconnection of the EPB by a remote control system (approved to R79) so the RCP can subsequently drive the vehicle out of a parking spot.
This proposal (WP.29/2018/53), as amended by para. 83, was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-five Contracting Parties out of the 48 applying UN R13 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-five voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
This proposal (WP.29/2018/54) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-five Contracting Parties out of the 50 applying UN R13-H were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-five voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
Proposal to introduce formulae for tyre sizes in Annex 5, Table B, add sizes in Annex 5, Part II, Tables C and E for old sizes that do not follow the guidelines/formulae applicable for high flotation tyres, amends footnotes in Annex 5, Part II, Table B in order to clarify categories of use, clarify tyre width tolerances, correct paragraph numbering and references, align the text editorially with UN R30 and to make other editorial improvements.
This proposal (WP.29/2018/55) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-five Contracting Parties out of the 48 applying UN R54 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-five voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
Proposal to clarify the references to UN R10 in UN R89. This was part of a collective amendment proposal concerning (in addition to UN R89) UN R13, UN R13-H, UN R79; UN R130 and UN R131. Proposal also to
exempt cases where the driver has temporarily deactivated the speed limiter from the warning requirement for excess speed in in order to reduce driver distraction
introduce throttle control via adjustment of the accelerator pedal position
to correct an editorial error in paras. 5.2.5.4.2. and 21.2.5.4.2.
This proposal (WP.29/2018/56) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-one Contracting Parties out of the 43 applying UN R89 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-one voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
Proposal to add tyre sizes and tyre classification codes common in the United States and standardised by the Tire and Rim Association, but needed under UN Regulation No. 106 in order to permit their type approval in conformity with Regulation EU 167/2013 for imported tyres. The proposal adds kPa marking specifications for use in measurements and tyre testing. The proposal further includes changes to the text and addition of tyre size designations to Annex 5 and Annex 7:
Paragraph 2.33.2 deleted since new tables for IF and VF were added to Annex 7
Paras 3.2., 3.2.2. and 5.4. modified because “tyres submitted for approval” cannot bear an approval mark until approved and the “only” as it is written can be misunderstood. Para. 3.2.2. was aligned to the wording in other UN Regulations. Reference to para. 3.3 in paragraph 5.4. is deleted because paragraph 3.3 does not refer to specific markings
Para 6.1.2. amended to align the wording to the headers in Annex 5 and to correct the reference to the footnote
Para 6.2.1. amended to restore the proper references after renumbering resulting from the latest Supplements
The amendment of Annex 5, Table 5 adds the value for the overall diameter (D) in column (*) that applies to tyres marked with classification code “I-3”
Annex 5, Table 6, Note 1 amended because most of the tyre sizes listed in the table, especially those identified by the “classification code I‐3” (i.e. Traction tread), are currently available in both versions: ‘implement’ to be used on agricultural machinery and ‘IND’ to be used on construction vehicles. The two types of tyres have the same type of size designation and the same dimensions. Therefore some manufacturers identify those tyres with the suffix ‘IND’ rather than with the suffix ‘IMP’ thus applying the variation of load capacity with speed as published in Annex 7 Part E. The reason for this proposal is to avoid a duplication of tables with a new table only replacing the suffix IMP with the suffix IND.
The addition of the footnote to Annex 5, Table 7 answers the request by GRRF to introduce appropriate formulae in the Regulation instead of continuously updating Annex 5.
References in Annex 7 corrected pursuant to the renumbering following the introduction of three new paragraphs in Supplement 15 approved during the 172nd session of WP.29.
Annex 7, Part A amended to conform with Tire and Rim Association specifications for code designated diagonal tyres with speed symbol A8.
The proposal also adds a paragraph to define the purpose of the “SS” marking introduce by the amendments to UN R106 on agricultural and related off-road tyres.
This proposal (WP.29/2018/57) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-three Contracting Parties out of the 48 applying UN R106 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-three voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
This proposal (WP.29/2018/58) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-three Contracting Parties out of the 49 applying UN R108 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-three voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
In order to have a Regulation on the retreaded tyres with definitions and provisions structured in the same way of those previously introduced in amendments of “new tyres” Regulations, this amendment:
Indicates that for the purpose of this Regulation “tyres” means “pneumatic tyres”, so all the text has been reviewed
Introduces a definition of :
“retreader” copy based on that “manufacturer” in the tyres regulations
Brand name", “Trademark”, “Trade description” and “Commercial name” as defined in the tyre regulations
Material manufacturer / material supplier
Takes into account the rounding rules (already approved in the other tyre regulations) for the calculation of width and diameter of the tyres
Aligns the title and the provisions of the para. 12 related to the names and addresses of Technical Services, Approved Laboratories and administrative Department with their equivalent in the tyres regulations
This proposal (WP.29/2018/59) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-three Contracting Parties out of the 49 applying UN R109 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-three voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
Addendum from GRRF to include provisions for PSI or kilopascal (kPa) markings and to clarify inflation pressure under the test procedures in the proposal for Supplement 9.
This proposal (WP.29/2018/59/Add.1), as amended by para. 83, was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-three Contracting Parties out of the 49 applying UN R109 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-three voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
Proposal to clarify the purpose of UN R139 which was originally established through the extraction of brake assist system (BAS) provisions from UN R13-H on brake systems. Within the context of UN R13-H, the BAS provisions were written to assess performance in cases where a vehicle was fitted with a brake assist system. As a stand-alone regulation, UN R139 applies only to vehicles that are equipped with BAS. Therefore, this supplement proposes to refine the text to remove the “if fitted” language and ensure that UN R139 can only be applied to a vehicle equipped with a BAS.
This proposal (WP.29/2018/60) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-eight Contracting Parties out of the 54 applying UN R139 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-eight voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
Proposal to remove “if fitted” language from the text to clarify that UN R140 can only be applied to a vehicle equipped with a ESC system. UN R140 was originally established through the extraction of electronic stability controls (ESC) provisions from UN R13-H on brake systems. Within the context of UN R13-H, the ESC provisions were written to assess performance in cases where a vehicle was fitted with an electronic stability control system. As a stand-alone regulation, however, UN R140 applies only to vehicles that are equipped with ESC. The proposal also would correct an apparent error in to Annex 4, paragraph 2.1. where the reference to “ISO 15037 Part 1:2005” should read “ISO 15037 Part 1:2006”.
This proposal (WP.29/2018/61) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-eight Contracting Parties out of the 54 applying UN R140 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-eight voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.

In addition, UN R51 allows the use mechanical or electronic devices to control the gear shifting and measures to avoid accelerations greater than 2.0 m/s2. However, the measures are not defined and the manufacturer or technical service is not obliged to document the methodology in the test report. This proposal introduces a table with examples for devices and measures for reference and would require documentation of methodology used.
This proposal (WP.29/2018/63) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-four Contracting Parties out of the 46 applying UN R51 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-four voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
This proposal (WP.29/2018/64) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-four Contracting Parties out of the 47 applying UN R16 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-four voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
