GRSG-106-04 | Defect investigation by the Republic of Korea on panorama sunroofs Excerpt from the March 2014 session of the World Forum where Korea explained its investigation into the shattering of certain panoramic sunroofs.

GRSG-106-10 | Proposal for an amendment to UN GTR No. 6 Proposal to amend the methodology of the 227g ball drop test for toughened glass in order to assess its mechanical strength (resistance against outside impact). This proposal stems from Korean testing that demonstrated inadequate mechanical strength of toughened glass treated with ceramic printing.

GRSG-106-21 | Defect investigation on panoramic sunroofs in Korea Presentation on Korean investigations that identify certain conditions under which ceramic printing (black enamel) weakens toughened glass such that the glass no longer meets the mechanical strength requirements of GTR 6, UN R43 or FMVSS 205. Korea proposes amending the UN glazing regulations.

GRSG-106-05 | CLEPA comments on document GRSG/2014/14 CLEPA comments on the OICA proposal for Supplement 3 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 43 (document GRSG/2014/14) that seeks to avoid imposing administrative burdens on small glazing that is not required for the driver’s forward or rearward field of vision.

GRSG/2014/10 | Proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 46 Proposal to introduce, for special cases, adjustments to the coordinates of the ocular points used to check compliance with the required field of vision provided by the rear-view mirrors.. The proposal would align the definition of the “driver’s ocular points” with that of Regulation No. 125 (forward vision) as also used in EC Directive 2003/97/EC as amended by Directive 2005/27/EC. This document is based on informal document GRSG-105-19.

GRSG/2014/17 | Proposal for Supplement 1 to the 04 series of amendments to Regulation No. 46 Proposal to require automatic mirrors to unfold automatically when the vehicle reaches a speed higher than 10 km/h. The concern is to address certain mirrors designed not to unfold at speeds up to 45 km/h.

GRSG-106-22 | Proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 46 Proposal to add field-of-vision provisions to enhance the safety of pedestrians and other vulnerable road users in narrow alleys and by-streets and other improvements to UN R46. This document replaces documents GRSG/2013/5 and its Corrigendum 1.

GRSG/2013/5 | Proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 46 Text prepared by Japan to add field-of-vision provisions to enhance the safety of pedestrians and other vulnerable road users in narrow alleys and by-streets and other improvements to Regulation No. 46

GRSG-106-22 | Proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 46 Proposal to add field-of-vision provisions to enhance the safety of pedestrians and other vulnerable road users in narrow alleys and by-streets and other improvements to UN R46. This document replaces documents GRSG/2013/5 and its Corrigendum 1.

GRSG/2014/11 | Proposal for the 03 series of amendments to Regulation No. 58 Alternative from OICA to the proposal offered by Germany (document GRSG/2013/27 which is expected to be updated and presented as GRSG/2014/18) to introduce more stringent requirements for rear underrun protection devices.

GRSG-106-11 | Proposal for amendments to UN Regulation No. 58 Proposal to clarify restrictions on the application of an RUPS according to specific vehicle chassis characteristics (e.g., stiffness, profile dimensions) under Annex 1 (item 9) the test set-up Annex 1 item 9 and to adapt the test procedure of Annex 5 (paragraph 1.1.3.) accordingly by the use of representative side rails. The proposal would also specify that the device used to distribute the test force over the stated flat surface be connected to the force actuator through a swivel joint since a wholly rigid set up can result in very different and unintended outcomes.

GRSG/2014/18 | Proposal for the 03 series of amendments to Regulation No. 58 Proposal to introduce more stringent requirements for rear underrun protection devices.

GRSG-106-26 | Proposal for amendments to UN Regulation No. 58 Editorial changes to the proposal to introduce more stringent requirements for rear underrun protection devices (document GRSG/2014/18).

GRSG-106-32 | Comparison of proposed RUPD requirements between documents GRSG/2014/11 and GRSG/2014/18 Comparison of the OICA and German proposals to set new requirements for rear under-run protection devices.

GRSG-106-40 | Concerns regarding proposed amendments to UN Regulation No. 58 Query concerning the intent of the proposed changes to the test procedures for rear underrun protection devices (RUPD). Sweden believes that the wording of the amendments proposed in document GRSG/2014/18 would change the nature of RUPD from being generic devices for installation across ranges of vehicle types to being vehicle-specific devices requiring repetitive testing for approval to be installed on a range of vehicles. Therefore, Sweden raises the question of whether this is the intent of the German proposal.

GRSG/2013/27 | Proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 58 Proposal to introduce more stringent requirements for rear underrun protection devices.

GRSG/2014/11 | Proposal for the 03 series of amendments to Regulation No. 58 Alternative from OICA to the proposal offered by Germany (document GRSG/2013/27 which is expected to be updated and presented as GRSG/2014/18) to introduce more stringent requirements for rear underrun protection devices.

GRSG-106-12 | Proposal for amendments to document GRSG/2013/29 In document GRSG/2013/29, the AEGPL proposed to introduce new provisions into Regulation No. 67 for preventing the flow of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) into the petrol or diesel tank, and vice versa in order to address a potential safety risk in bi-fuel or dual-fuel vehicles. At the 105th GRSG session, Germany requested a more detailed test procedure. Therefore, this proposal responds to the German request, improves certain descriptions of requirements, and provides comments to justify the various provisions.

GRSG/2013/29 | Proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 67 Proposal to introduce new provisions into Regulation No. 67 for preventing the flow of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) into the petrol or diesel tank, and vice versa in order to address a potential safety risk in bi-fuel or dual-fuel vehicles.

GRSG-106-07 | UN Regulation No. 110 – CNG/LNG vehicles Proposal to regulate the discharge direction of pressure relief devices (PRD) on CNG containers in response to a fire accident in the Netherlands in which the PRD produced a long horizontal jet flame for several minutes posing a risk to other road users and surrounding buildings.

GRSG-106-15 | UN Regulation No. 110 – CNG/LNG vehicles Note to open a discussion concerning the gas-cylinder periodic inspection requirements of Annex 3 of UN R110.

GRSG-106-24 | Proposals for amendments to Supplement 1 to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 110 Supplement 1 to the 01 series included requirements for the positioning of LNG tanks. While the Netherlands believes that mounting the LNG fuel tank 200mm above the road surface is broadly adequate; this proposal aims to ensure that the fuel tank cannot, under any normal driving or stationary working situations, come into contact with the ground. The new wording provides more definitive conditions, including the possibility of a vehicle having one or more flat tires as well as for those vehicles that have ‘kneeling’ capability or variable suspension, both of which lower the frame of the vehicle closer to the ground.

GRSG-106-29 | UN R110 Annex 3 & ISO 11439 “High pressure cylinders for the on-board storage of natural gas as a fuel for automotive vehicles” Presentation highlighting concerns regarding the separate development of UN R110 and ISO 11439 provisions resulting in diverging test protocols and other differences.

GRSG-105-31 | Comments on the draft Supplement 1 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 110 The draft supplement 1 to the 01 series of amendments to UN R110 (pending before the November WP.29 session) introduces type-approval provisions for vehicles equipped with liquefied natural gas propulsion systems. In this document, Germany signals its intention to prepare substantial revisions concerning its safety provisions.

GRSG-106-27 | Proposal for amendments to UN Regulation No. 110 Proposal to require an exterior protection on cylindrical gas tanks. Under the current regulation, such exterior protection may be fitted at the discretion of the manufacturer. The intention is to increase protection against corrosion of cylinders in response to a corroded cylinder explosion in Germany.

GRSG-106-17 | Proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 118 Proposal to replace in paragraph 6.2.6. of UN Regulation No. 118, the obsolete reference to the cable test according to paragraph 12. of ISO 6722 with the correct reference to paragraph 5.22. of ISO 6722-1:2011.

GRSG/2014/12 | Proposal for Supplement 9 to Regulation No. 121 Proposal to adapt the provisions for multi-function displays to technological progress. In principle, current displays can convey more information to the driver, including levels of severity or importance, while the current text was written when technologies were less flexible. As a result, the current provisions risk impeding the use of beneficial multi-function tell-tales. This text is based on informal document GRSG-105-21.

GRSG-106-35 | Controls, Tell-tale and Indicators: Focus on common space regarding the current regulation Presentation concerning the asynchronous use of an indicator space for communicating information to the driver. The presentation explains the concept of this "common space" that two or more symbols may share but only use one at a time. The presentation proposes that two or more symbols might be displayed sequentially in the same common space (i.e., alternately flashing symbols).

WP.29/2012/30 | Proposal for the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 121 Proposal for transitional provisions concerning the electronic stability control telltale and approval markings related to UN R121.

WP.29/2012/30/Corr.1 | Corrigendum to the proposal for the draft 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 121 Correction to paragraph 12.3 so it reads " As from 24 months after the date of entry into force of the 01 series of amendments, Contracting Parties applying this Regulation shall grant type approvals only if the vehicle type to be approved meets the requirements of this Regulation as amended by the 01 series of amendments."
