Proposal to introduce installation specifications for securing a cab mounted on a vehicle to the test rig for tests B and C, as is currently provided for test A, under UN R29. This proposal aims to improve repeatability and reproducibility while allowing more flexibility in permitting the use of rigid composite blocks and/or (adjustable) metal brackets in securing the vehicle in the place of the wooden block presently prescribed in Figure 1.

Proposal to harmonize airbag warning labels regarding the correct use of a child restraint system in a seating position equipped with an activated frontal airbag in order to prohibit the display of additional information unrelated to child safety.

Proposal to clarify the conditions where a door is deemed to be open under UN R95. Technical Services have interpreted the definition of “open” under paragraph 5.3.1. differently, resulting in divergent outcomes. The proposed definitions are taken from UN Regulation No. 135 Revision 1. The proposal reduces the force level from 500 N to 400 N for the test to open the door.

Proposal to amend the transitional provisions in order to explicitly confirm that approvals granted prior to the respective supplements to the 01 and 02 series of amendments and the establishment of the new guidelines on UN Regulation procedures (documents WP.29/2017/107 including Corrigendum 1 and Addendum 1) will continue to be accepted. This amendment confirms the understanding that the new procedures apply only to new approvals and do not affect previous approvals.

Proposal to align end-user information provisions with those adopted for UN R44.

Proposal to

1. require that the shoulder strap positioner, if any, and the buckle open independently of each other in order to satisfy the requirement that the buckle can be opened by a single action;
2. align end-user information provisions with that adopted for UN R44;
3. reinsert text omitted during the transcription of the adopted texts of Supplement 3 to the 01 series of amendments and Supplement 2 to the 02 series of amendments; and
4. harmonize airbag warning labels regarding the correct use of a child restraint system in a seating position equipped with an activated frontal airbag in order to prohibit the display of additional information unrelated to child safety.

Proposal to:

1. harmonize airbag warning labels regarding the correct use of a child restraint system in a seating position equipped with an activated frontal airbag in order to prohibit the display of additional information unrelated to child safety, and
2. clarify that only a 3-point-belt shall be permitted for the driver seating position in order to address differing interpretations among Technical Services regarding which requirements apply for driver position seat-belt approval.

Proposal to require seat belt components such as retractors to remain functional if damaged during the load-retention test according to Annex 9 of UN R17. Such components have occasionally been damaged during testing such that their functionality has been impaired. In order to ensure adequate occupant safety, this proposal would require all safety-belt components to be included in the test installation and require post-test inspection to confirm the continued functionality. The transitional provisions phase in the new requirements during September 2020-September 2022.

Proposal to align UN R24 (Compression Ignition Engines – Emission of Visible Pollutants – Power Measurement) with UN R85 with regard to correction factors.

Proposal to modify the Constant Volume Sampling system temperature sensor time response requirement.

Proposal to modify the Constant Volume Sampling system temperature sensor time response requirement.

Proposal to modify the Constant Volume Sampling system temperature sensor time response requirement.

Proposal to explicitly specify requirements related to the selection of driving modes for testing of Off-Vehicle Charging Hybrid Electric Vehicles (OVC-HEV) with a mode selection switch.

Proposal to align UN R132 with the 05 series of amendments to Regulation No. 96.

Proposal to align the Russian text with the English version.

In the absence of complete harmonization with ISO 11439, this proposal recommends that Table 6.4 of UN R110 should be amended by the following for CNG-1 designs:

1. Delete A.17, A.25, and A.7 since they do not match the tests specified in paragraph 7.5 on Cylinder design qualification tests
2. Add A.15 and A.6 since they do match the tests specified in paragraph 7.5 on Cylinder design qualification tests
3. Add A.24 because paragraph 6.9 on Fire protection requires all PRDs on all cylinder types to comply with A.24.

Proposal prepared by the secretariat to correct and improve the quality of the image of Figure 1a of Annex 5.

Proposal to combine the provisions of individual UN Regulations Nos. 4, 6, 7, 23, 38, 50, 77, 87 and 91 into a single UN Regulation on uniform provisions concerning approval of light-signalling devices for power-driven vehicles and their trailers. This consolidation simplifies and streamlines requirements without changing detailed technical specifications already in force. The Regulation applies to eleven categories of lamps including rear-registration plate illuminating, direction indicator, position, stop, end-outline marker, reversing, manoeuvring, rear fog, parking, daytime running, and side marker lamps. Requirements address administrative provisions, type approval, approval marks using unique identifiers or conventional E-marks, general and specific technical requirements for each lamp function, photometric and colorimetric characteristics, etc.

Proposal to introduce the flexible pedestrian legform impactor (FlexPLI) test tool, a new bumper test area definition, and related Injury Assessment Reference Values (IARVs).

The objective of this proposal is to develop, in the framework of the 1998 Agreement, an amendment to UN Global Technical Regulation (UN GTR) No. 6 on Safety Glazing to adapt the Regulation to technical progress by providing optional use of thinner laminated-glass panes meeting mechanical strength requirements in front, exterior, forward-facing glazing of upper deck of double decked buses instead of laminated windscreen.

Amended proposal for formal document WP.29/2018/134 on transitional provisions, specifically to correct an error regarding new series type approval transition provisions which should have read “2012” rather than “2010” as erroneously used in the original submission.
