Proposal for clarifications and editorial improvements to the draft amendment to require, in instances where that ogive covers be removed before conducting the impact damage (drop) test.

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.”

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.
