11. UN Regulation No. 122 (Heating Systems)

26. The expert from the Republic of Korea introduced the progress report related to the application of the Radiant Warmer (GRSG-128-09-Rev.1) and related safety features due to the advancing technology in the future. He expressed the opinion that a second phase of radiant warmer would begin when more technologies were available on the market. He also introduced GRSG-128-23 to report on the burn risk assessment method for safety approval according to UN Regulation No. 122. The expert from the Kingdom of the Netherlands recalled, to GRSG, the pending issues such as high temperatures of rear seats which were incompatible with the transport of children. He noted the need for experts on this matter since some inconsistencies should be resolved at the legislative level. He underlined that risks for customers were not foreseen with the current provisions. The expert from the United Kingdom insisted that high temperatures allowed in rear seats were a concern in his administration. He suggested establishing a TF. The expert from the Kingdom of the Netherlands, as Chair of the TF- Automated Vehicles Regulations Screening (TF-AVRS), replied that he volunteered to discuss a list of elements in the TF-AVRS. This at the aim of preparing a proposal for the next session and share it with the former Radiant Heater TF experts before submitting it to the secretariat. GRSG agreed to resume discussion on this subject at its April 2025 session.
