Proposal as submitted to WP.29 with editorial changes marked in red.
The Working Party on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (WP.15) has noted that problems could arise during the approval of vehicles intended for the carriage of explosive substances and articles (Class 1) for vehicles intended for the carriage of liquids having a flash-point of not more than 60°C. (EX/III and FL vehicles) fitted with a camera monitoring system which complied with the requirements of UN R46.
The European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) stipulates that the electrical circuits must be broken within 10 seconds after operation of the battery master switch. This might conflict with paragraph 16.1.1. of UN R46 which requires that, after each engine switch-off (intended use), the camera-monitor system remains operational for a period of at least 120 seconds.
This proposal aims to resolve the disparity between UN R46 and requirements for ADS vehicles.
Proposal to clarify the vehicle conditions of the test methods for detection systems in Annex 10, including to specify that not only rear hatches or trunk lids but also the tail gates of cargo trucks and van-type vehicles should be closed or latched in their normal vehicle operating condition during the test.
Proposal from the task force on UN R39 Mileage Accuracy to amend and supplement the existing requirements for odometers to include provision on:
Proposal from GRSG to clarify the scope of the UN Regulation and to complement the text with the missing Supplement 7 to the original version of UN R116.
Proposal to clarify provisions regarding the actuation of the parking brake warning device to cover the case of electric control transmission systems where there may be a transition between parked (applied) and un-parked (released) braking states.
