15. UN Regulation No. 95 (Lateral collision)
GRSP-65-13 | UN R95: Proposal for the 04 series of amendments Proposal to remove restrictions on the scope of the Regulation to M<sub>1</sub> and N<sub>1</sub> vehicles, to provide appropriate transitional provisions and to make minor adaptations and clarifications to the existing requirements.
16. UN Regulation No. 100 (Electric power-trained vehicles)
GRSP/2019/3 | UN R100: Proposal for Supplement 5 to the 02 series of amendments Proposal to explicitly state that functional safety requirements apply to categories of vehicles beyond M<sub>1</sub> through the addition of the following text marked in <b>bold</b>: <p>When leaving the vehicle, the driver shall be informed by a signal (e.g. optical or audible signal) if the vehicleis still in the active driving possible mode. <b>Moreover, in case of vehicles of category M<sub>2</sub> and M<sub>3</sub>, such signal shall already be given when leaving the driver seat.</b></p>
GRSP-65-07 | UN R100: Proposal for the 03 series of amendments Proposal to update the text of UN R100, particularly in line with GTR 20 on electric vehicle safety.

GRSP-65-07 | UN R100: Proposal for the 03 series of amendments Proposal to update the text of UN R100, particularly in line with GTR 20 on electric vehicle safety.
17. UN Regulation No. 111 (Uniform provisions concerning the approval of tank vehicles of categories N and O with regard to rollover stability)
18. UN Regulation No. 127 (Pedestrian safety)
GRSP-64-20 | UN R127: Proposal for collective amendments to 00, 01 and 02 series of amendments Proposal to address new active suspension technologies that can raise the height of the vehicle in motion up to a defined speed. Since the vehicle height has an influence on the headform test area (WAD) and on the test results for legform tests, all possible vehicle heights up to a driving speed of 11.1 m/s (40 km/h) should be considered to be relevant for the impact with a pedestrian. The proposal is a clarification on this issue.To ensure that such an active suspension system is considered for type approval, there should be a detailed description in the information document. Due to the fact that extensions for an existing vehicle type concerning UN Regulation No. 127 are still possible according to 00 and 01 series of amendments, the proposal is relevant for all series of amendments of the UN R127.
GRSP-65-21 | UN R127: Proposal of Supplements to the 00, 01 and 02 series of amendments Proposal to ensure pedestrian protection across the vehicle height variations that may be produced by an active suspension system.
