UN R67: Proposal for Supplement 1 to the 02 series of amendments
(Germany)
Description
|
Proposal to improve the specifications for LPG multi-valves in response to an LPG vehicle fire that resulted in injuries to first responders. A German Type Approval Authority (KBA) analysis concluded that the hose connecting the PRV/PRD of the multi-valve to the gaseous phase was damaged and hose-fragments blocked both PRV and PRD such that pressure could not be adequately reduced. The PRV and PRD were activated, but the fragments considerably reduced the effective section of the relevant tubing and prevented the release of pressure. This proposal aims to prevent such occurrences.

38. The expert from OICA recalled the purpose of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2018/2 and informed GRSG that parts of the proposal had been adopted and that the remaining parts had recently been reviewed by TF on gas-fuelled vehicle regulations. The expert from Germany reported on the good TF work progress force. He presented GRSG-116-05 on the outcome of TF discussions on UN Regulation No. 67. The expert from LG Europe proposed to remove the requirements for the use of an odorant in n-pentane: such requirements were not necessary and not requested in any test in the UN Regulations or in international standards (GRSG-116-39). After discussion, GRSG agreed on the revised proposal GRSG-116-05-Rev.1 and adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2018/2 as reproduced in Annex III to this report. The secretariat was requested to submit the revised proposal to WP.29 and AC.1 as draft Supplement 2 to the 02 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 67 for consideration at their November 2019 sessions.
25. Reporting on a severe incident which happened in 2014 (GRSG-112-31), the expert from Germany proposed a new series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 67 to enhance the specifications for the LPG multi-valve. The experts from Italy, the Netherlands and Poland confirmed such risks and endorsed the need to adopt such new provisions. The expert from Germany volunteered to submit an official document for consideration at the next GRSG sessions, including transitional provisions.
28. The expert from Germany presented ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2017/16 that amends the provisions of UN Regulation No. 67 to improve the specifications for the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) connecting the pressure relief valve with the gaseous phase for multi-valve in the vehicle tanks and those for the installation and inspection of LPG containers and their accessories. The expert from OICA introduced GRSG-113-18 on modifications to the aging test requirements of some rubber materials and on further transitional provisions. The expert from AEGPL endorsed the proposal to avoid a ban of some technologies and materials. Both proposals received a number of comments.
29. GRSG agreed on the need to revise the requirements on pipes for multivalves on LPG containers and to keep, at the same time, the testing provisions technology neutral. Thus, GRSG agreed to set up a Task Force under the leadership of Germany to find a compromise and to prepare a revised proposal for consideration at the next GRSG. It was also agreed to keep ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2017/16 on the agenda as a reference document. The secretariat was requested, in the absence of a revised proposal by the task force, to circulate GRSG-113-18 with an official symbol.
23. The expert from Germany introduced GRSG-114-08 on the recent meeting of the task force on gas-fuelled vehicle regulations held in Cologne (Germany) on 6 and 7 February 2018. He added that progress had been good on UN Regulation No. 110, but the amendments to UN Regulation No. 67 were still under considerations.
25. The expert from Germany recalled the outcome of the task force (para. 23 above) on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2017/16 and presented GRSG-114-09 proposing amendments to the Regulation. GRSG noted general support and some comments. Finally, GRSG considered a revised proposal (GRSG-114-09-Rev.1) and adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2017/16 as reproduced in Annex V to the session report. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal to WP.29 and AC.1 as draft 02 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 67 for consideration at their November 2018 sessions.
33. The expert from Germany reported on the work progress of the task force on gas-fuelled vehicle regulations during its meeting in Cologne (Germany) on 27 and 28 February 2018 (GRSG-115-05). GRSG welcomed the information.
70. The World Forum considered the draft amendments under agenda items 4.7.2. to 4.7.10. and recommended their submission to AC.1 for voting subject to the following modifications: - Item 4.7.2., document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2019/94, throughout the document replace “para. 6.15.10.8.” by “para. 6.17.10.8.”
- Item 4.7.6., document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2019/98, throughout the document replace “Annex 15” by “Annex 16”.
- Item 4.7.8, document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2019/100, amend the title to read “Supplement 3 to the 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 107 (M2 and M3 vehicles)”.

UN R144: Draft proposal for a new series of amendments
(OICA)
Description
|
This proposal relates to the proposal in document GRSG-116-15. This proposal would: - clarify that the application of an AECD approval to other vehicle categories than M1 and N1 is not mandatory,
- align the power supply requirement of Part III, para. 34.1 with the corresponding requirement in Part II, para. 25.1.
- clarify with regard to para. 34.1 that if the vehicle is equipped with both
- -a “back-power supply” as listed in para. 35.10.1 and
- -a “Power supply other than back-up power supply mentioned in paragraph 35.10.1” as listed in para. 35.10.2
both should be tested according to Annex 9. The “Power supply other than back-up power supply mentioned in paragraph 35.10.1” should indeed only be tested if it is the only power supply for the AECS. - Since informal document GRSG-116-15 deletes the existing exemptions in para. 1.3, and hence introduces more severe requirements, the changes should be introduced via a new series of amendments with appropriate Transitional Provisions of 2 years. (In effect, the application of AECS requirements would be based solely on the scope of UN R94 and R95 and no longer takes into account the presence of an airbag and its triggering system. The manufacturers need sufficient time to ensure AECS compliance for new vehicle types and in the same time, the changes should not affect existing vehicle types that were given an AECS type approval already.)

This proposal relates to the proposal in document GRSG-116-15. This proposal would:<ol class="alpha"><li>clarify that the application of an AECD approval to other vehicle categories than M<sub>1</sub> and N<sub>1</sub> is not mandatory,</li><li>align the power supply requirement of Part III, para. 34.1 with the corresponding requirement in Part II, para. 25.1.</li><li>clarify with regard to para. 34.1 that if the vehicle is equipped with both<ul class="none"><li>-a <i>“back-power supply”</i> as listed in para. 35.10.1 and</li><li>-a <i>“Power supply other than back-up power supply mentioned in paragraph 35.10.1”</i> as listed in para. 35.10.2</li></ul> both should be tested according to Annex 9. The <i>“Power supply other than back-up power supply mentioned in paragraph 35.10.1”</i> should indeed only be tested if it is the only power supply for the AECS.</li><li>Since informal document GRSG-116-15 deletes the existing exemptions in para. 1.3, and hence introduces more severe requirements, the changes should be introduced via a new series of amendments with appropriate Transitional Provisions of 2 years. (In effect, the application of AECS requirements would be based solely on the scope of UN R94 and R95 and no longer takes into account the presence of an airbag and its triggering system. The manufacturers need sufficient time to ensure AECS compliance for new vehicle types and in the same time, the changes should not affect existing vehicle types that were given an AECS type approval already.)</li></ol>

10. The expert from France, as Chair of the Informal Working Group (IWG) on the behaviour of the general construction of M2 and M3 vehicles in a fire event (BMFE), introduced GRSG-116-11 on the outcome of the recent meetings held in Madrid on 27 and 28 November 2018 and in Oslo on 27 and 28 February 2019. He reported that IWG had made good progress on developing a table of accidentology, on a full-scale test and on new provisions in UN Regulation No. 107 for the automatic opening of emergency exits and security instructions for passengers. He added that the group would follow-up on an ongoing research study by Germany on the toxicity and opacity of the smoke so as to define a simplified test method to determine toxicity of materials. GRSG welcomed this information and noted that the forthcoming meeting of IWG on BMFE was scheduled for Bergisch Gladbach (Germany) on 25 and 26 June 2019.

UN R107: Proposal for Supplement 7 to the 06 series, Supplement 2 to the 07 series, and Supplement X to the 08 series of amendments
(OICA)
Description
|
Proposal to refine the provisions on the number and position of emergency exits of vehicles of Classes A and B. The transition from 05-series to 06-series of amendments is based on the final proposal of the Informal Group for Service Doors, Windows, and Emergency Exits (SDWEE) adopted by GRSG as document GRSG/2012/15. One of the consequences of the new wording is that, if one escape hatch is fitted, it must be positioned in the middle third of the passenger compartment. For Class A and B vehicles with sometimes short passenger compartments (< 3 m), this can be problematic because the middle third position can overlap with the position of the service door, close to which lateral roof reinforcements are necessary to provide structural stability and meet provisions of UN R66. Given that the exact position on shorter vehicles is of lower relevance than for long compartments, this proposal would provide latitude on the exact placement for Class A and B vehicles.

8. The expert from OICA presented GRSG-116-25 on specific concerns for the position of escape hatches on M2 buses of Class B in the transition from the 05 and 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 107. She added that the location of such hatches was not relevant, particularly for short vehicles with a passenger compartment length of approximately 2.5 m. Thus, she proposed to amend the provisions of Annex 3 on the number and position of emergency exits of vehicles of Classes A and B (GRSG-116-24). GRSG noted general support for the proposal and some requests for clarification. The expert from OICA invited all interested experts to provide her with their comments. Thus, she volunteered to submit a revised proposal for consideration at the next session as an official document.
5. Referring to the discussion on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2012/2 at the previous session of GRSG, the expert from EC introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2012/23 proposing updated provisions for vehicles of Class I to provide a specific area for prams or pushchairs.

Following the discussion, the expert from Germany volunteered to prepare, jointly with the experts from EC, France, Sweden and Switzerland, a revised proposal for consideration at the next GRSG session in April 2013 taking into account the comments received. GRSG agreed to keep ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2012/2 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2012/23 on the agenda as reference documents.
6. The expert from the Netherlands withdrew GRSG-103-05. The expert from IRU recalled the purpose of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2012/12 proposing to install in urban buses of Class I driver seats without suspension systems. GRSG noted no support for the proposal and agreed to remove it from the agenda.
7. The expert from CLCCR introduced GRSG-103-16 superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2012/14 on the lateral stability of rear facing wheelchairs. GRSG noted a number of concerns. As the document did not receive any support, GRSG agreed to remove it from the agenda.
8. The expert from the Russian Federation presented GRSG-103-09 amending the provisions of the installation height of interior emergency controls in Class B vehicles. GRSG agreed to resume consideration of the proposal at its next session in April 2013 on the basis of an official document.
9. The expert from Sweden introduced GRSG-103-12 justifying the installation of automatic fire suppression systems in the engine compartment of buses and coaches. GRSG followed with interest a presentation by the expert from Sweden (GRSG-103-22) on a method for testing the performance of fire suppression systems. Following the discussion, GRSG noted general support on this subject. The expert from Sweden volunteered to prepare a concrete proposal for consideration at the next session of GRSG.
8. The expert from OICA presented ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2019/30 on the position of escape hatches on M2 buses of Classes A and B in the transition from the 05 and 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 107. Following clarification on the positioning of escape hatches in the vehicles concerned and adjustment of language used (GRSG-117-54), GRSG adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2019/30 as amended and reproduced in Annex II to this report. The secretariat was requested to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 as draft Supplement 7 to the 06 series of amendments, Supplement 2 to the 07 series of amendments and Supplement 2 to the 08 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 107 for consideration at their March 2020 sessions.

Proposal to refine the provisions on the number and position of emergency exits of vehicles of Classes A and B. The transition from 05-series to 06-series of amendments is based on the final proposal of the Informal Group for Service Doors, Windows, and Emergency Exits (SDWEE) adopted by GRSG as document GRSG/2012/15. One of the consequences of the new wording is that, if one escape hatch is fitted, it must be positioned in the middle third of the passenger compartment. For Class A and B vehicles with sometimes short passenger compartments (< 3 m), this can be problematic because the middle third position can overlap with the position of the service door, close to which lateral roof reinforcements are necessary to provide structural stability and meet provisions of UN R66. Given that the exact position on shorter vehicles is of lower relevance than for long compartments, this proposal would provide latitude on the exact placement for Class A and B vehicles.

8. The expert from OICA presented GRSG-116-25 on specific concerns for the position of escape hatches on M2 buses of Class B in the transition from the 05 and 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 107. She added that the location of such hatches was not relevant, particularly for short vehicles with a passenger compartment length of approximately 2.5 m. Thus, she proposed to amend the provisions of Annex 3 on the number and position of emergency exits of vehicles of Classes A and B (GRSG-116-24). GRSG noted general support for the proposal and some requests for clarification. The expert from OICA invited all interested experts to provide her with their comments. Thus, she volunteered to submit a revised proposal for consideration at the next session as an official document.

She introduced GRSG-116-28 that amends the provisions of UN Regulation No. 58 to allow installing such aerodynamic devices at the rear end of vehicles. She added that the provisions of new Annex 8 should ensure that aerodynamic devices shall not compromise the functionality of rear underrun protection devices. GRSG noted general support for the proposal. The expert from Canada informed GRSG that the installation of such aerodynamic devices had been allowed in his country since 2013 and announced that he would share a study by his Government on this subject at the next GRSG session. The expert from Sweden was of the opinion that new Schedule 8 of the 1958 Agreement would allow virtual testing methods for such aerodynamic devices. The expert from Japan preferred to add a clarification that aerodynamic devices should be omitted when measuring the dimensions (e.g. length) of the vehicle. The expert from EC proposed to proceed with the proposal as a Supplement to the UN Regulation as the new requirements were not mandatory and only considered as optional “if fitted” requirements.

22. The expert from the Republic of Korea presented GRSG-116-30 and GRSG-116-31 on the need to exempt in Zone I the possible opaque obscuration which is defined in paragraph 7.1.3.2.4. of the annexes on installing laminated-glass panes. The expert from Germany endorsed the proposed amendments, adding that the zone had to be clearly defined. The expert from Finland affirmed the necessity for similar amendments in UN Regulation No. 43.
23. GRSG agreed to resume consideration of these subjects at its October 2019 session. The experts from Germany and India volunteered to prepare revised official documents to that end. The expert from India also offered to review the authorization to develop Amendment 2 to UN GTR No. 6 and to follow up on the necessary procedure at the next sessions of the Executive Committee AC.3 of the 1998 Agreement.
157. The representative of the Republic of Korea reported on the progress of work of the IWG on Panoramic Sunroof Glazing (PSG) in developing an amendment to UN GTR No. 6. She informed the session that during April 2019, the eleventh Panoramic Sunroof Glazing IWG meeting had been held and followed by three web conferences on recommendations for the Ceramic Printed Area (CPA) with a view to minimizing CPA as much as possible. She added that the group had expected to hold another web conference to discuss the recommendations in greater detail, to come up with a draft recommendation document before the twelfth meeting and finally submit it to the October 2019 session of GRSG.
158. Moreover, the representative of the Republic Korea informed GRSG that Korean experts proposed to amend UN GTR No. 6 on safety glazing to exempt, in Zone I, the possible opaque obscuration in the test area on the windscreen of Category 1-2 and 2 vehicles which is used for installing devices such as rain-drop sensor, inside mirror or autonomous vehicle sensors, etc. She concluded that GRSG agreed to consider at the next GRSG session this proposal to amend UN GTR No.6. She explained that WP.29-178-12 consists of four sections: objective, background, subject of amendment, and timeline.
159. AC.3 requested the secretariat to distribute WP.29-178-12 with an official symbol at its November 2019 session.
22. The expert from the Republic of Korea presented ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2019/33 as amended by GRSG-117-43 and GRSG-117-49 on the need to exempt in Zone I the possible opaque obscuration which is defined in paragraph 7.1.3.2.4. of the annexes on installing laminated-glass panes. The expert from Germany clarified that there was no real difference between UN GTR No.6 and UN Regulation No.43 as the UN GTR would provide for two options while the UN Regulation would use only one of the options which was in accordance with the agreements.
23. GRSG adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2019/33 as amended by GRSG-117-49 and requested the secretariat to submit it to AC.3 as draft amendment to UN GTR No. 6 for consideration at its March 2020 sessions. The expert from the Republic of Korea was invited to provide the secretariat with a technical report that would accompany the proposal within the deadline for the 180th WP.29 session (9 December 2019).
24. The expert from OICA questioned whether the amendments to UN GTR No. 6 (see paras 20 and 22 above) would require for parallel amendments to UN Regulation No. 43. Upon request by the Chair, the expert from OICA agreed to prepare a related proposal for the next session.

Proposal for a new UN Regulation: devices for driver awareness VRU during maneuvers in reverse gear
Description
|
Working draft submitted for information regarding a proposed new UN Regulation for the type approval of devices to improve driver awareness of vulnerable road users when performing reversing maneuvers. UN R46 contains provisions for indirect vision; this proposal seeks to expand the driver’s awareness, including visibility of VRU to the rear of the vehicle. Some requirements of this proposed regulation could be satisfied via approval under UN R46.

28. The expert from EC, Chair of IWG on VRU-Proxi, reported on the group’s decision to withdraw ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2019/10 on a new 05 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 46 and to submit instead a new draft UN Regulation on devices for reversing motion and driver’s awareness of vulnerable road users behind the vehicle (GRSG-116-36). He added that the new UN Regulation would address a broader scope, i.e. direct and indirect vision devices, and other detection devices. He sought the advice of GRSG on this new IWG approach. GRSG noted the requests by Italy and Sweden to apply these devices also on incomplete vehicles and, if possible, to already include it into the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA) scheme. GRSG endorsed the new IWG approach.
29. The Chair of VRU-Proxi announced that IWG would further review the terms of reference to extend the mandate for developing reversing safety by one additional year and to circulate, if possible, the new draft UN Regulation as an official document, for consideration by GRSG at its next session.
30. GRSG welcomed the good work progress and noted that the next meeting of IWG on VRU-Proxi was scheduled to be held in Berlin (Germany) on 17–19 June 2019.

32. The expert from Germany introduced GRSG-116-20 to amend the provisions for approval and installation of devices for indirect vision with temporarily modified views on motor vehicles. A presentation (GRSG-116-37) also justified the need to amend the UN Regulation and showed the safety improvements of devices using magnification and resolution in image processing. GRSG welcomed GRSG-116-20 and noted several comments from the experts of Canada, France, Sweden and EC on the need to clarify the proposal. The expert from Japan raised a study reservation, stating that the current provisions of the regulation already cover such devices and that an amendment was superfluous. Finally, GRSG agreed to resume consideration of GRSG-116-20 at its next session on the basis of an official document. The Chair invited the expert from Germany to submit in due time, a revised proposal taking into account the comments received.

25. Reporting on a severe incident which happened in 2014 (GRSG-112-31), the expert from Germany proposed a new series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 67 to enhance the specifications for the LPG multi-valve. The experts from Italy, the Netherlands and Poland confirmed such risks and endorsed the need to adopt such new provisions. The expert from Germany volunteered to submit an official document for consideration at the next GRSG sessions, including transitional provisions.
28. The expert from Germany presented ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2017/16 that amends the provisions of UN Regulation No. 67 to improve the specifications for the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) connecting the pressure relief valve with the gaseous phase for multi-valve in the vehicle tanks and those for the installation and inspection of LPG containers and their accessories. The expert from OICA introduced GRSG-113-18 on modifications to the aging test requirements of some rubber materials and on further transitional provisions. The expert from AEGPL endorsed the proposal to avoid a ban of some technologies and materials. Both proposals received a number of comments.
29. GRSG agreed on the need to revise the requirements on pipes for multivalves on LPG containers and to keep, at the same time, the testing provisions technology neutral. Thus, GRSG agreed to set up a Task Force under the leadership of Germany to find a compromise and to prepare a revised proposal for consideration at the next GRSG. It was also agreed to keep ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2017/16 on the agenda as a reference document. The secretariat was requested, in the absence of a revised proposal by the task force, to circulate GRSG-113-18 with an official symbol.
23. The expert from Germany introduced GRSG-114-08 on the recent meeting of the task force on gas-fuelled vehicle regulations held in Cologne (Germany) on 6 and 7 February 2018. He added that progress had been good on UN Regulation No. 110, but the amendments to UN Regulation No. 67 were still under considerations.
25. The expert from Germany recalled the outcome of the task force (para. 23 above) on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2017/16 and presented GRSG-114-09 proposing amendments to the Regulation. GRSG noted general support and some comments. Finally, GRSG considered a revised proposal (GRSG-114-09-Rev.1) and adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2017/16 as reproduced in Annex V to the session report. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal to WP.29 and AC.1 as draft 02 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 67 for consideration at their November 2018 sessions.
33. The expert from Germany reported on the work progress of the task force on gas-fuelled vehicle regulations during its meeting in Cologne (Germany) on 27 and 28 February 2018 (GRSG-115-05). GRSG welcomed the information.

45. The expert from OICA presented GRSG-116-40-Rev.1 on the historical highlights and progress of the splitting of UN Regulation No. 116 (GRSG-116-09-Rev.1). She reported on the status of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2017/23, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2017/24/ Rev.1, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2017/25 and its Corr.1, as reflected in GRSG-116-06-Rev.1, GRSG-116-07 and GRSG-116-08. She invited all interested experts to send her their final comments not later than by the end of May 2019 to allow her to set up a TF to review the proposals and to prepare, in due time, the final versions of the draft official documents for submission to the secretariat. She added that the provisions of Annex 5 on ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) should be scrutinized by the Working Party on Lighting and Light-Signalling (GRE), particularly by its TF on EMC.
46. GRSG endorsed the request. The Chair announced that he would inform the GRE Chair in the near future, and WP.29 at its June 2019 session. GRSG agreed to resume discussions at its next session based on official documents.
47. As GRSG ambassador on the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA), the expert from OICA presented GRSG-113-41 on the status of the splitting of the provisions of UN Regulation No. 116 into three separate Regulations. He briefly introduced - ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2017/23 containing the prescriptions for devices against unauthorized use as an amendment to UN Regulation No. 116,
- ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2017/24 as a new draft UN Regulation on vehicle immobilizers and
- ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2017/25 and Corr.1 as a new draft UN Regulation on vehicle alarm systems.
He added that ECE/ TRANS/WP.29/ GRSG/2017/23 would still need to be reviewed and should be submitted to WP.29 as a new series of amendments and, thus, supplemented with transitional provisions.
48. GRSG agreed to resume consideration of this subject at its next session in April 2018 on the basis of revised official documents to be submitted by the GRSG ambassador.
46. The expert from OICA informed GRSG about his decision to resign from his function as GRSG Ambassador to IWG on the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA), due to increased workload. He wondered if the function was still needed as UN Regulation No. 0 on IWVTA had entered recently into force. He reported on the status of documentation on the splitting of UN Regulation No. 116 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2017/23, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2017/24/Rev.1 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2017/25) and invited all experts to send him their comments. He offered to prepare a set of final documents after the discussions at a further meeting in conjunction with the next GRSG session with the aim to adopt those documents at the 117th GRSG session. GRSG endorsed the proposed road map and agreed to keep the documents on the agenda as reference documents. The Chair thanked Mr. O. Fontaine for his commitment as GRSG Ambassador on IWVTA and his contributions in this function.
48. The expert from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2018/25 to clarify the provisions on the environmental testing of keys as components that were not embedded in the vehicle. GRSG noted a number of comments and a study reservation by the expert from Germany. GRSG agreed to resume consideration of the document at its next session.

UN R93: Proposal for amendments
(EC)
Description
|
Proposal to update Part III of UN R93 to enable approval of truck cabs where the front underrun protection is integrated in the motor vehicle (in order to improve aerodynamic performance). This proposal would define the forward reference point as being the same transverse location where the force is applied. This results in FUPs where (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. The proposal includes transitional provisions from 1 September 2020.

58. GRSG noted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2019/2 and WP.29-177-19 on the work priorities of WP.29 and AC.3 on automated/connected vehicles and their decision that GRSG should resume its work on developing a new UN Global Technical Regulation (UN GTR) on Event Data Recorder (EDR).
59. The expert from OICA presented GRSG-116-42 on the position of the automotive industry to support developing this a new UN regulation on EDR and, in parallel, a Data Storage System for Automated Driving vehicles (DSSAD). She added that discussions on DSSAD had already taken place at the Working Party on Automated/Autonomous and Connected Vehicles (GRVA), particularly in its IWG on Automatically Commanded Steering Functions (ACSF). She concluded that the functions of both systems, EDR and DSSAD, were different but the hardware could be the same and, therefore, should be developed in parallel. The experts from Germany and CLEPA endorsed that position and underlined the urgency to work on these subjects.
60. The expert from the Netherlands suggested establishing an informal working group under GRSG and GRVA to develop draft regulatory proposals for new UN regulations on EDR for conventional and automated/autonomous vehicles, and on DSSAD. The experts from China and Japan welcomed that initiative and offered to contribute to the activities. GRSG agreed on the need to establish an IWG on EDR/DSSAD (possibly under GRSG and GRVA).
61. The expert from the Netherlands introduced GRSG-116-43 (tabled jointly by the experts from Japan and the Netherlands) which proposed a first draft of the terms of reference and rules of procedure for the new IWG on EDR/DSSAD. GRSG considered the document in detail and noted some amendments to the proposal, given in GRSG-116-43-Rev.1. GRSG also noted several concerns on the feasibility of the tasks within the timeline as stipulated in paragraphs 6 and 7 of the proposal. GRSG requested the secretariat to transmit GRSG-116-43-Rev.1 to GRVA for further consideration at its special June 2019 session.
62. Following the intervention of some delegations on the urgency of these new activities, GRSG agreed to proceed, in the meantime, on the basis of a TF on EDR.

5. The expert from Belgium introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2019/9 and GRSG-116-44, proposing to amend the requirements in Annex 11 of UN Regulation No. 107 on the minimum mass for the front axle of articulated vehicles of Class I. The expert from the United Kingdom raised study reservations on braking performance and braking stability. GRSG noted that UN Regulation No. 13 would be applied in any case and supported the proposal in principle. The expert from Belgium volunteered to provide more detailed information on braking performances for the next GRSG session. GRSG decided to adopt ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2019/9 and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and the administrative Committee AC.1 of the 1958 Agreement as draft Supplement 8 to the 06 series of amendments, draft Supplement 3 to the 07 series of amendments and draft Supplement 2 to the 08 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 107 for consideration at their November 2019 sessions, subject to a final review by GRSG at its October 2019 session.

64. GRSG noted the information by the secretariat on the activities and priorities of WP.29 on automated and autonomous vehicles (GRSG-116-45), which supplements the information received under agenda item 17 (see paragraph 58 above). The expert from OICA reported on the status of work, the timeline for related activities and the challenges faced by GRVA on automated vehicles (GRSG-116-46).
65. Following a question from the expert of the United Kingdom, GRSG noted that WP.29/AC.2 would ensure the coordination of all activities related to vehicle automation between its subsidiary bodies (e.g. GRSG and GRVA) and that the Inland Transport Committee recently set up a WP.1–WP.29 Executive Task Force (ETF) to coordinate the related actions between the World Forum WP.29 and the Global Forum for Road Traffic Safety (WP.1).
66. GRSG agreed to resume consideration of this subject at its next session based on a list of UN Regulations under the responsibility of GRSG that focus on the vehicle driver. Thus, the expert from OICA volunteered to prepare this list.
