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 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 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 align the approval code for light sources approved according to Regulation No. 129 with the approval number as prescribed by Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement, schedule 4. Parallel proposals have been submitted with regard to UN R37 and R99.

Proposal to enable approval of side-marker and position lamps with regard to switching requirements when mutually incorporated. Vehicles include designs where lamps wrap around vehicle corners. In cases where optional side-marker lamps are grouped with a position lamp that is reciprocally incorporated with the direction indicator, it should be possible to switch off the side-marker lamp (as can be done with the position lamp) in order to improve conspicuity of the direction indicator.

The proposal also defines specifications for the design and operation of external status indicators for Vehicle Alarm Systems (VAS), Alarm Systems (AS) and immobilizers under UN R48 pursuant to provisions of UN R97 and R116.

The proposal also corrects and clarifies the following:

• para. 5.7.2.1. editorial alignment of text with current terminology
• replace undefined “effective outlet” terminology with defined “apparent surface” reference
• reintroduction of missing reference to “transverse plane” in paras. 5.10.1. and 5.10.2.
• para. 6.2.9. and related subsequent paragraphs to clarify the application of the 2000 lumen criteria
• para. 6.26.9.2. to correct a cross-reference with UN R23
• measurement of the minimum height in relation to the ground for dipped beam headlamps (para. 5.8.2).
