Text as approved by the Working Party on Passive Safety (GRSP) at its fifty-third session to introduce a new UN Global Technical Regulation (UN GTR) on pole side impact protection.

The intention of this report is to supplement procedural information on the development of the GTR included in the Part I (Statement of technical rationale and justification) of the GTR and to provide further details on the informal working group.

Proposal for the goals and objectives of the World Forum during 2014-2015 for review and approval by the Forum participants.

Report of the secretariat of the World Forum to its parent body, the Inland Transport Committee.

Amended text pursuant to decisions of the 160th (June 2013) World Forum session.

Document prepared by the Forum Secretariat pursuant to the decisions of the Forum, inserting five new regulations annexed to the 1958 Agreement and adding a new Annex 5 on general administrative provisions for revisions and extensions of the type approvals granted in the framework of the UN Regulations annexed to the 1958 Agreement.

The main objective of this proposal is to establish an amendment to global technical regulation No. 2 on the Worldwide harmonized Motorcycle emissions Certification-test procedure (WMTC) to insert Environmental and Propulsion Performance Requirements (EPPR), currently only applicable for two-wheeled motorcycles. Should an amendment to GTR No. 2 be deemed inappropriate, alternatives including development of a new GTR will be considered.

The objectives also include development of requirements and/or test procedures to create synergies and uniform provisions with related 1958 Agreement UN Regulations, exchange information on current and future regulatory EPPR, e.g. for
“category 3 vehicles” or “L-category vehicles”, minimize differences between these regulatory EPPR, with the view to facilitate the development of light vehicles complying with such internationally harmonized requirements, and to assess coherence with other regulatory requirements and groups activities, such as those on Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedures (WLTP) and on Electric Vehicles and the Environment (EVE).
