GRSG-116-01 | GRSG-116: Running order of the agenda

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 is expected to consider a proposal by Belgium to lower the minimum mass for the front axle of an articulated vehicle of class I (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2019/9).

GRSG may wish to consider a proposal by Italy to amend annex 3 of the Regulation on test requirements to be met by all buses and coaches regarding the emergency door exits (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2019/13).

GRSG may also wish to consider a proposal by IWG on BMFE to amend the provisions of UN Regulation No. 107, if available.

GRSG agreed to resume consideration of a request by Norway (GRSG-115-04) on the need to enhance the protection and integrity of the compartment of the driver and any crew member of buses and coaches in case of a frontal collision. GRSG agreed to the need and all governmental experts were invited to investigate their national/regional statistical data for such accidents. GRSG is expected to have an exchange of views on the collected data, if available.

GRSG-116-24 | 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 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.

GRSG-116-30 | GTR 6: Proposal for amendments Proposal to exempt Zone I from opaque obscuration requirements of GTR 6 under certain conditions.

GRSG is expected to consider a proposal by France to clarify in annex 3 the reference to the test requirements for abrasion and resistance to simulated weathering.

GRSG/2019/5 | UN R43: Proposal for Supplement 9 to the 01 series of amendments Proposal to delete the reference to abrasion requirements in Annex 3, paragraph 6.4.1.3. since abrasion resistance is not relevant in the assessment of resistance to weathering.

GRSG will be informed by the Chair of IWG on Awareness of Vulnerable Road Users proximity (VRU-Proxi) about the group’s outcome on the multimodal approach on the basis of direct or indirect vision devices (or a combination of both), camera monitor systems or obstacle detection systems.

GRSG-116-38 | Revised ToR for the informal group on awareness of Vulnerable Road Users proximity in low speed manoeuvres (VRU-Proxi) Proposal to extend the deadline for delivery a text on devices to reduce the risk of VRU impacts while moving in reverse gear (e.g. rear vision camera monitoring systems, detection system) from April 2019 to April 2020

GRSG is expected to consider an IWG proposal to amend UN Regulation No. 46 to provide the driver, when moving the vehicle backwards, with a full field of vision on the rear proximity of the vehicle without any blind spots.

GRSG-116-04 | UN R46: Approval question regarding adaptive camera-monitor system Germany is requesting GRSG guidance regarding the approval of CMS that adapt the field of view under certain conditions (e.g., to compensate when a vehicle and trailer combination moves along a curve).

GRSG-116-20 | UN R46: Proposal for amendments Proposal to introduce "temporary modified view" provisions per ISO 16505:2015 which describes a possibility for a field of view to be temporarily modified for special driving situations in order to compensate for limits of the static class II field of vision.

GRSG-116-27/Rev.1 | UN R46: Proposal for amendments Proposal to define indication lines within the text to enable display of a combined continuous image in a monitor system.

GRSG-116-36 | Proposal for a new UN Regulation: devices for driver awareness VRU during maneuvers in reverse gear 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.

GRSG-116-37 | UN R46: Default view and temporary modified view

GRSG/2019/10 | UN R46: Proposal for the 05 series of amendments Proposal for Class VIII field of vision and provisions for sonar systems, including provisions for headrest position and draft text for transitional provisions under discussion with the VRU-Proxi Informal Working Group. This proposal introduces provisions for a full field of rear vision.

GRSG-116-20 | UN R46: Proposal for amendments Proposal to introduce "temporary modified view" provisions per ISO 16505:2015 which describes a possibility for a field of view to be temporarily modified for special driving situations in order to compensate for limits of the static class II field of vision.

GRSG-116-20 | UN R46: Proposal for amendments Proposal to introduce "temporary modified view" provisions per ISO 16505:2015 which describes a possibility for a field of view to be temporarily modified for special driving situations in order to compensate for limits of the static class II field of vision.

GRSG may wish to consider a proposal to amend the new UN Regulation on BSIS, if available.

GRSG agreed to consider a proposal by EC to update the provisions on removable mechanical couplings fitted to motor vehicles, in particular on the need to provide clear information to the driver (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2019/6).

GRSG may wish to consider a proposal by France to update the format of the communication document (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2019/12).

GRSG-116-33 | UN R55: Examples of mechanical coupling devices of class A

GRSG/2019/6 | UN R55: Proposal for Supplement 8 to the 01 series of amendments Proposal to add the text, “In such a case, the motor-vehicle’s user instructions (e.g. owner’s manual, vehicle handbook) shall clearly specify that the removable or repositionable mechanical coupling device shall always be removed or repositioned when it is not in use.”

GRSG/2019/12 | UN R55: Proposal for Supplement 8 to the 01 series of amendments Proposal to improve the communication document. The current wording of item 2 in Annex 1 is redundant with item 3 and not aligned with similar texts (UN R58 or R73). The key point of item 2 is to identify the type of device or component approved.

GRSG/2019/6 | UN R55: Proposal for Supplement 8 to the 01 series of amendments Proposal to add the text, “In such a case, the motor-vehicle’s user instructions (e.g. owner’s manual, vehicle handbook) shall clearly specify that the removable or repositionable mechanical coupling device shall always be removed or repositioned when it is not in use.”

GRSG will be informed by the expert from Germany, Chair of the task force on gas-fuelled vehicle regulations, about the work progress on amendments to UN Regulations Nos. 67 and 110.

GRSG agreed to further consider a proposal by Turkey on new provisions for the location on the vehicle of the filling unit and a limitation of the service life of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) containers (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2017/22).

GRSG will resume consideration of a proposal by the Task Force to amend the provisions of the ageing test in Annex 15 and on the results of the ageing of material that is in contact with LPG (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2018/2).

GRSG-116-05/Rev.1 | UN R67: Proposal for Supplement 1 to the 02 series of amendments 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.

GRSG-116-35/Rev.1 | UN R67: Proposal for the 03 series of amendments Proposal to introduce new provisions on the location on the vehicle of the filling unit in order to address<ul><li>Difficulties with filling the LPG container (e.g., the filler pistol may be unable to fit the space between ground and filling unit when the vehicle is fully laden) </li><li>Risks involved on occupational health and safety of LPG container filling operators (e.g. necessity to kneel or lie down to fill the fuel containter).</li><ul>

GRSG-116-39 | UN R67: Proposal for Supplement 1 to the 02 series of amendments Proposals to amend or supersede the proposal in document GRSG-116-05. Liquid Gas Europe opposes the proposal to add an odorant in the n-pentane.

GRSG/2018/2 | UN R67: Proposal for Supplement 16 to the 01 series of amendments Alternative solution from OICA to the German proposal GRSG/2017/16 regarding visibility/access requirements for PRV/PRD-related components in order to improve maintenance and reduce the risk of critical failures of pressure relief devices. The proposal also proposes amending provisions of the ageing test in Annex 15 in response to concerns over failures of rubber hoses.

GRSG/2017/22 | Proposal for the amendments to Regulation No. 67 Proposal to insert new provisions on the location on the vehicle of the filling unit, marking of the LPG container date of production, and a limitation on the maximum service life of LPG containers to 15 years.

GRSG may wish to consider proposals to amend UN Regulation No. 110, if available.

GRSG-116-16 | UN R110: Proposal for amendments to the 04 series of amendments Proposal to address issues associated with periodic testing and periodic requalification of CNG cylinders.

GRSG-116-17 | UN R110: Proposal for amendments Proposal to enable the approval of conformable container tanks (new container shapes and configurations) in vehicles equipped with CNG propulsion systems.

GRSG-116-18 | Conformable storage tank concept for CNG vehicles

GRSG-116-21 | UN R110: Proposal for amendments Proposal to introduce changes and additions to the Change of Design Table to better specify appropriate test requirements for CNG cylinders with composite materials and, in some cases, to harmonize with ISO 11439.

GRSG-116-17 | UN R110: Proposal for amendments Proposal to enable the approval of conformable container tanks (new container shapes and configurations) in vehicles equipped with CNG propulsion systems.

GRSG may wish to consider a proposal by France to improve the performance level of lateral protection devices to better protect vulnerable road users, if available.

GRSG/2018/18 | UN R73: Proposal for the 02 series of amendments Proposal to amend geometrical criteria (dimensions and distances between lateral protection devices) and installation provisions for lateral protection barriers in order to improve their performance with regard to vulnerable road users. The proposal would<ol class="alpha"><li>increase the maximum distance between lateral rails from 300 mm to 400 mm</li><li>redefine the limits for the lower edge from "550 mm above the ground" to definition via an isosceles triangle formed by lines drawn at 8° from the ground contact points of the vehicle tires intersecting at point "I" above the road surface where the maximum limit "I" is between 350-450 mm</li><li>define the upper edge as from 450 mm rather than 300 mm maximum from the vehicle structure or maximum height of the upper edge above the ground from 950 mm to 850 mm</li><li>update the horizontal static force requirement for lateral protection devices to 3 kN and the deflection under load criteria to 90 mm over the rearmost 250 mm of the device and 450 mm over the remainder of the device.</li></ol> The purpose is to reduce the risk of running over a person (e.g., a motorcycle rider) during a lateral collision.

GRSG agreed to review a proposal by EC to update the provisions on frontal underrun protection which are approved as an integrated part of the vehicle, in particular, to allow for a more rounded shape of the cab for a better aerodynamic performance, if available.

GRSG-116-41 | UN R93: Proposal for amendments 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.

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.

GRSG may wish to revisit the proposals by OICA that remove some provisions and insert the latter ones into two new UN Regulations.

GRSG agreed resume consideration of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2018/25 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2019/7 tabled by OICA to clarify the definitions and the provisions on the environmental testing of components that are not embedded in the vehicle, e.g. keys.

GRSG-116-06/Rev.1 | UN R116: Proposal to exclude radio transmission frequencies from the scope Proposal to clarify that UN R116 covers protection against unauthorized use "by means of a locking system".

GRSG-116-07 | UN R116: Proposal for a new regulation on immobilzers Amended proposal for a new UN Regulation on uniform technical prescriptions concerning approval of immobilizers and approval of a vehicle with regard to its immobilizer. This proposal has been developed to facilitate the integration of UN R116 into UN R0 on whole vehicle type approvals by extracting immobilizer provisions into a stand-alone regulation. The proposal also clarifies the exclusion of radio transmission frequencies.

GRSG-116-08 | UN R116: New regulation concerning vehicle alarm systems Proposal for a new regulation on uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicle alarm systems and approval of a vehicle with regard to its vehicle alarm system. The regulation would extract provisions from UN R116 in order to facilitate the integration of UN R116 into the UN R0 international whole vehicle type approval system.

GRSG-116-09/Rev.1 | Overview of the proposals to split UN R116

GRSG-116-40/Rev.1 | UN R116: Summary of work on revisions OICA presentation reviewing the work on <ol class="alpha"><li>key testing (GRSG/2018/25)</li><li>smart keys (GRSG/2019/7)</li><li>separation of UN R116 into three regulations</li></ol>.

GRSG/2018/25 | UN R116: Proposal for Supplement 6 Proposal to clarify that anti-theft-related vehicle components such as keys are not subject to the environmental tests (section 6.4.) of UN R116 which were established for components embedded in the vehicle.

GRSG/2019/7 | UN R116: Proposal for Supplement 7 Proposal to redefine “key” to include “physical device or electronic solution”. At the same time, the proposal excludes “hardware (e.g. smartphone) provided by other than car manufacturer” from this definition.

GRSG/2019/7 | UN R116: Proposal for Supplement 7 Proposal to redefine “key” to include “physical device or electronic solution”. At the same time, the proposal excludes “hardware (e.g. smartphone) provided by other than car manufacturer” from this definition.

GRSG-116-09/Rev.2 | Overview of the proposals to split UN R116

GRSG-116-08 | UN R116: New regulation concerning vehicle alarm systems Proposal for a new regulation on uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicle alarm systems and approval of a vehicle with regard to its vehicle alarm system. The regulation would extract provisions from UN R116 in order to facilitate the integration of UN R116 into the UN R0 international whole vehicle type approval system.

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

GRSG is expected to consider a proposal (if available) by the Republic of Korea to add in UN Regulation No. 121 a new symbol for “power on/power off” controls in vehicles equipped with an electric powertrain, such as electric vehicles.

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).

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 ¹⁸ 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 ¹⁸ 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 agreed to have a final review of a revised proposal by OICA to clarify the scope of UN Regulation No. 144.

GRSG-116-15 | UN R144: Proposal for a 01 series of amendments Proposal to remove the exclusion of M₁ and N₁ not equipped with a side airbag and to specify that the AECS shall be able to output the navigation solution in an NMEA-0183 protocol format (RMC, GGA, VTG, GSA and GSV message), among other clarifications.

GRSG-116-10 | UN R144: Draft proposal for a new series of amendments 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 M₁ and N₁ 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>

GRSG/2018/23 | UN R144: Proposal for amendments Proposal to clarify the scope of the Regulation especially with regard to the relationship between AECS and the presence of airbag systems in the vehicle.

GRSG-116-15 | UN R144: Proposal for a 01 series of amendments Proposal to remove the exclusion of M₁ and N₁ not equipped with a side airbag and to specify that the AECS shall be able to output the navigation solution in an NMEA-0183 protocol format (RMC, GGA, VTG, GSA and GSV message), among other clarifications.
