Presentation on the background and scope of the proposal to amend

Proposal to enhance the safety of the belted passenger seated behind a seat by removing the two of the derogations for two-point belts and supports the usage of three-point belts also in buses.

Proposal to enhance the safety of the belted passenger seated behind a seat by removing the two of the derogations for two-point belts and supports the usage of three-point belts also in buses.

For M2 and M3 vehicle of all classes, when an adult seating in a forward-facing seat which face a built in Child Restraint system, an impact between the adult and the child shall be prevented. In order to prevent the impact between the occupants a 3-point belt is requested on the adult seating position. The text has been proposed to be updated in the UN Regulation 16 Supplement 05 to 08 series of amendments, it seeks to harmonize requirements in both UN Regulation 14 and UN Regulation 16.

Proposal to amend the provisions for the DPPS Generic Vehicle (GV) Models. This Addendum provides the specifications for the generic vehicle models to be used for the qualification of pedestrian models for HIT determination according to [ GTR No.9 amendment 3 Annex 2 ]. The models and their usage are specified.

The text reproduced below was prepared by the expert from the Informal Working Group on the Deployable Pedestrian Protection Systems of UN Global Technical Regulation No. 9 to propose provisions on the development of HBM qualification corridors for Annex 2 to GTR No. 9.

The proposed amendment does not intend to change the requirements nor the level of stringency. The footnote to paragraph 3.2.2. is added to further clarify the definition of the use of a one belt route. In its current state, the text apparently has been interpreted as to allow the use of a single belt route for each application that an Enhanced Child Restraint System (ECRS) would offer. That way, one belt route for a rearward facing ECRS (integral) and a second belt route for a forward facing (non- integral) ECRS has been introduced, making a combination of C and E.

The proposal aimed to an identification of buses and trucks equipped with an electric drivetrain which is consistent with existing regulated identification for Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG), Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) and Compressed Hydrogen (H2) fuelled trucks and buses.

Discussion on the introduction of technical requirements applying to the bus front to reduce the extent of damage and injury in connection with potential frontal impact accidents. It has also been raised by the labour unions that buses need to become more crash resistant. Plan is to change the scope and perhaps add a new section for testing the front of the buses. Alternatively make a new regulation for frontal protection for buses.

Proposal to harmonise transitional provisions and to clarify the requirements for safety-belt reminder of rear seat row(s)

Proposal to reflect the size ranges used in UN R129, OICA suggests using the stature of 100 cm (which is approximately a child weighing 18 kg). This would be aligned with the requirement that non-integral ECRS are not allowed for children with a stature of less than 100 cm (6.1.3.3.) and also with the requirement for toxicity testing in 6.3.1.1 (para 6.3.1.1 does not apply to non-integral ECRS with a stature range of 100 cm or above).
