Proposal to amend the test methods for toughened glass pursuant to Korean defect investigations involving the ceramic printed area of certain panoramic sunroofs.

Explanations and arguments in support of the amendments to UN R43 proposed by the Informal Group on Plastic Glazing (IGPG) in document GRSG/2014/23.

Paragraph 5.3.1. refers to Appendix 8 of Annex 1. OICA believes that the reference should be to Appendix 10 of Annex 1 and so proposes this correction.

This proposal aims to enable the use of thick glass panes for multiple glazed units which, in turn, requires omitting the head-form test in case of these units.

OICA and CLEPA comments on the Korean proposal to amend GTR No. 6 and UN Regulation No. 43 in response to issues identified in its defect investigation concerning panoramic sunroofs.

Proposal for an amendment to UN Regulation No. 43 to define a “reduced vision zone I” for vehicles of categories M and N other than M1. The goal is to extend the concept that already exists for M1 vehicles in order to enable the installation of sensors and cameras that improve driving safety.
