Proposal to insert a new Introduction section containing provisions for vehicles of categories X and Y, amend the Scope to include vehicles of categories X and Y with specific exemptions based on the “R” point or front structural geometry, amend definitions of “Bonnet rear reference line,” “Front structure,” “Normal ride attitude,” “Side reference line,” “Windscreen test area,” and “Cowl monitoring area” to address vehicles of categories X and Y, and amend paragraph 5.3.1.2. regarding Automated Riding Height Suspension System engagement conditions. Changes compared to document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2026/53 are indicated by red markup.
Analysis examined 14 cases in Japan where child fatalities occurred after children were left unattended in passenger vehicles of category M1 and N1 between January 1984 and April 2025. Indirect sensing could potentially have generated an alert in 13 cases, while direct sensing could potentially have generated an alert in 5 cases. Based on these findings, retaining indirect sensing as an option for UNR is proposed.
Proposal to renumber paragraph 5.8.4.2. as paragraph 5.8.4.3., insert new paragraph 5.8.4.2. requiring controls of electric side windows adjacent to the front seat row to be within reach and directly accessible, insert new paragraphs 5.8.8. and 5.8.8.1. to 5.8.8.2. requiring electric side windows of the front seat row to function for at least 2 minutes during vehicle submergence, and insert new Annex 11 prescribing submergence test procedures including container-based test, slope-entry test, and alternative test methods to demonstrate window opening capability under water.
Working draft proposal to:
Discussions to amend GTR 1 to require doors providing direct access for occupants to be equipped with an intuitively accessible exterior latch release control or alternatively in close vicinity to the door. The document notes that “intuitive,” “discoverable,” and “in close vicinity” are subjective terms difficult to assess objectively. It suggests defining these terms through objective criteria such as untrained first-time user performance testing within a specified timeframe, standardized ISO symbols, defined proximity zones relative to the door, and requirements balancing accessibility against inadvertent operation risks.
