2. Amendments to regulations on buses and coaches

The Working Party on General Safety Provisions (GRSG) is expected to be informed by the Chair of the Informal Working Group (IWG) about the outcome of the most recent meetings on the behaviour of the general construction of M2 and M3 vehicles in a fire event (BMFE).

GRSG-115-05 | Report of the 2nd Task Force on "gas-fueled vehicle regulations" meeting session
9. (b) UN Regulation No. 110 (CNG and LNG vehicles)

GRSG is expected to be informed by the expert from Germany who is leading the Task Force to review the amendments proposed to UN Regulation No. 110 on the basis of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2017/29. Thus, GRSG may wish to consider ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2018/16 tabled by Italy, proposing to amend Annex 3A of the Regulation, i.e. the test requirements for the periodic requalification of CNG cylinders to avoid structural failures during their service life, including new provisions for a mandatory impact damage test for all cylinders without the use of shoulder pads.

GRSG-115-18/Rev.2 | UN R110: Proposal for amendments to the 03 series of amendments Proposal prepared by OICA per decisions by the task force on gas-fuelled vehicle regulations to resolve issues associated with periodic requalification of CNG cylinders. The proposal amends Annexes 3A and 3B, particularly to state "Contracting Parties requiring a more frequent (than every 48 months) or more stringent periodic requalification of cylinders may do so in accordance with the national or regional requirements."
GRSG-115-19 | UN R110: Proposal for the 04 series of amendments This proposal introduces transitional provisions into UN Regulation No. 110 should the proposals in document GRSG/2018/11 be adopted. GRSG/2018/11 would change the technical requirements for vehicles equipped with CNG compressors and/or accumulators and therefore would transitional provisions be applicable.
GRSG/2017/29 | Proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 110 Proposal to require, in instances where ogive protective covers are fitted to a cylinder, that the covers be removed before conducting the impact damage (drop) test.
GRSG/2018/11 | UN R110: Proposal for Supplement 2 to the 03 series of amendments Proposal to introduce requirements for CNG compressor and CNG accumulator components designed to maintain stable pressure in fuel systems.

This proposal would allow for the use of LNG/CNG from vehicle fuel tanks and thereby reduce the potential need to vent gas into the air in response to pressure buildup due to warming over time by using the gas to power other devices and equipment.

GRSG also agreed to revisit a proposal by the Netherlands to allow the use of gas fuelled generators to provide electrical power for accessories or other vehicle systems (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2018/12).

GRSG/2018/14 | UN R116: Proposal for Supplement 6 Proposal to remove references to European radio frequency standards (paragraphs 6.2.3., 7.2.3. and 8.2.2.). Telecommunications devices must meet requirements specific to local markets. Therefore, the references to standards specific to European markets (but not other markets) fall outside the purview of UN Regulations.

13. UN Regulation No. 121 (Identification of controls, tell-tales and indicators)

GRSG agreed to resume consideration of a proposal by OICA (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2018/6) to simplify the handling of colour changes of controls, tell-tales and indicators and to remove footnote 18 from the table.

GRSG/2018/6 | UN R121: Proposal for Supplement 10 to the original series of amendments and Supplement 2 to the 01 series of amendments Proposal pursuant to discussions on the application of footnote <sup>18</sup> under Table 1 concerning tell-tale symbols and the use of colours to convey different meanings. ISO standard 2575-2004, para. 5.1. allows for the use of different colours to convey a change in the operating condition. This proposal would remove the current footnote <sup>18</sup> text and application of the footnote to telltales 2, 9-12, and 19 pending a decision on the proposal to apply a revised footnote to the master lighting switch (tell-tale 1). Paragraph 5.4.1.1. of UN R121 references ISO 2575-2004 which was developed to simplify the application of UN R121 when colour changes are adopted in other UN Regulations; however, OICA submits that the footnote which references ISO 2575-2004 in relation to specific lighting devices or systems creates a degree of confusion. (If approved, this proposal would likely impact Supplement 3 to the 01 series rather than Supplement 2 given that WP.29 at its November 2017 session adopted the proposal to add a telltale and symbols for “Accident Emergency Call System (AECS)” and to align UN R121 with the 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 16 as Supplement 2 to the 01 series.)
GRSG-115-14/Rev.1 | UN R121: Proposal for Supplement 3 to the 01 series of amendments Proposal to add a new symbol (as defined by IEC standard 60417-5009) for power on/off controls in electrified vehicles (e.g., electric or fuel cell vehicles).

14. UN Regulation No. 122 (Heating systems)

GRSG may wish to consider proposals by France to insert new provisions for the installation of heat pump heating systems and to limit the possible exemptions for electrical heating systems.

GRSG/2018/21 would change the technical requirements for vehicles equipped with heat pump heating systems and therefore, transitional provisions would be applicable.
GRSG/2018/21 | UN R122: Proposal for Supplement 5 Proposal to introduce provisions for interior heating systems using heat pumps.
GRSG/2018/22 | UN R122: Proposal for Supplement 5 Proposal to clarify the requirements for electric heaters by limiting possibilities for exemptions applicable to interior heating systems supplied by several electrical elements.

GRSG-115-25 | UN R93: Proposal for amendments In anticipation of improvements to truck-cab aerodynamics, this proposal would update Part III of UN R93 where the front under-run protection is integrated in the motor vehicle by defining the forward reference point as the same transverse location where the force is applied. This results in FUPs that, in the case of cab fronts that are curved, at least 400 mm must be maintained along the front contour of the cab, instead of the foremost point.
