65. The representative of Australia introduced (GRVA-24-05/Rev.2) a proposal for the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 178 (ELKS) aimed to clarify some of the existing text, and include reference to the lane markings of the 01 series of UN Regulation No. 130. He mentioned that the proposal built on the outcome of Australia New Car Assessment Program and included requirements for an additional use case, such as roads without lane marking. The representative of Germany mentioned that Euro NCAP would introduce similar requirements that could be tested in five to seven laboratories, where the characteristics of the road edges are well known. He noted that introducing these requirements into a regulatory framework would be more complex, as regulations must account for the full variety of real-world road edges. The representative of OICA confirmed that the corresponding Euro NCAP test protocol was not yet fully developed and that it was therefore too early to adopt it into regulation. The representative of Japan supported the objective of improving the ELKS requirements but noted that research was still ongoing. He stated that it would be acceptable to wait for the results before making regulatory changes. He also suggested examining the applicable speed range of ELKS operation. GRVA discussed whether the amendments would constitute a new series of amendments and would require transitional provisions. GRVA agreed to resume consideration of this item at its next session on the basis of an official document that the representative of Australia agreed to prepare.
