GRSG-113-15 | Proposal for draft 08 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 107 (as adopted by GRSG at its 112th session) Proposal to introduce requirements for color contrast for signage and provisions for passengers with limited mobility. At its previous session (GRSG-112), GRSG approved a proposal by Germany (GRSG/2016/20) as revised in document GRSG-112-35 with the proviso that OICA would prepare a final document including transitional provisions for consideration at GRSG-113. Based upon the new general guidelines developed for Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement, the new requirements would transition into application from September 2020 for new types of vehicles and September 2022 for all existing types.
GRSG-113-29 | Comment on GRSG/2016/20: Proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 107 Proposal to correct document GRSG/2016/20 where the reference to "Annex 5, paragraph 4" should be to paragraph 3.
GRSG-113-15/Rev.1 | Revised proposal for draft 08 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 107 Revised proposal to introduce requirements for color contrast for signage and provisions for passengers with limited mobility. Based upon the new general guidelines developed for Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement, the new requirements would transition into application from September 2020 for new types of vehicles and September 2022 for all existing types.
GRSG-113-15/Rev.2 | Approved proposal for the draft 08 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 107 Proposal as approved by GRSG to introduce requirements for color contrast for signage and provisions for passengers with limited mobility. Based upon the new general guidelines developed for Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement, the new requirements would transition into application from September 2020 for new types of vehicles and September 2022 for all existing types.
GRSG/2016/20 | Proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 107 Proposal to augment the provisions to address the needs of persons with reduced mobility by improving accommodations for wheelchair users and for persons who are visually and/or hearing impaired.
GRSG-112-35 | Proposal for a new 08 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 107 Proposal as adopted (originally submitted as a proposal for Supplement 2 to the 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 107) during the April 2017 GRSG session to address the concerns raised in document GRSG-111-35 through application of FprEN 16584-1:2015 and 2:2015, respectively referring to requirements for color contrast for signage and quality of audible information. The proposal also introduces provisions for passengers with limited mobility.
GRSG-111-21 | Detailed analysis on the compatibility or incompatibility of the scopes and technical provisions for trolleybuses of UN Regulations Nos. 100 and 107 The proposal by Belgium GRSG/2016/05 aimed at removing the amended additional safety prescriptions for trolleybuses from annex 12 of UN Regulation No. 107 for the Construction of M2 and M3 vehicles (R107), and inserting them into UN Regulation No. 100 on Electric Powertrain Vehicles (R100), see proposal GRSP/2016/07. This document explains how the scope and technical provisions for trolleybuses of R100 and R107 are complementary, but not yet fully compatible.
GRSG-111-09 | Proposal for amendments to the 05, 06 and 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 107 Proposal to delete the inclusion of the 75kg mass of a crew member from the definition of the mass of buses and coaches equipped with a crew member seat in order to align UN R107 with the definitions used in European Commission Regulation (EU) No. 1230/2012.
GRSG/2016/5 | Proposal for amendment to Regulation No. 107 Proposal to transfer electrical safety provisions for trolleybuses (Annex 12) from UN R107 to UN R100. In 2006, the provisions of UN R36, UN R52, and UN R107 were merged through the 02 series of amendments to UN R107. In 2015, Annex 12 of UN R107 was amended to align additional safety prescriptions for electrical safety of trolleybuses with the corresponding electrical standards. However, UN R100 has evolved beyond its initial focus on battery electric vehicles and currently presents a more appropriate location for maintaining the trolleybus electrical safety provision of Annex 12. For the provisions of Annex 1 – Part 1 – Appendices 1, 2 and 3, where a list of characteristics of a trolleybus was added apart from the special environmental conditions, a reference will be inserted to Annex 6 – Part 1 and Annex 7 of UN Regulation No. 100. A corresponding proposal for amendments will be submitted as an official document to the Working Party on Passive Safety.
GRSG-113-23 | Presentation of the investigation into the collision between a coach and heavy truck and resulting fire
2. (b) Amendments to regulations on buses and coaches: Regulation No. 118 (Burning behaviour of materials)
GRSG/2017/21 | Proposal for Supplement 4 to the 02 series of amendments and for Supplement 1 to the 03 series of amendments to Regulation No. 118 Supplement 1 to the 02 series of amendments modified the definition of "interior compartment" (previously "passenger compartment") in paragraph 2.2. The definition replaced the term "roof" by "ceiling" in reference to the upper boundary surface of the compartment definition. Nonetheless, use of the term "roof" was not updated throughout the regulation. This proposal corrects the omission by substituting "ceiling" for "roof" throughout the text.

GRSG/2017/28 | Proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 34 Proposal to clarify the test requirements in alignment with the French text of the regulation by amending paragraph 5.10 to read "There shall be no protruding parts, sharp edges, etc. near the <b>installed tank likely to increase the risk of damage on the tank</b> in the event a collision to the front, <b>the side</b> or the rear of the vehicle." (Modified text in bold)
4. (a) Amendments to safety glazing regulations: Regulation No. 43
GRSG/2017/15 | Proposal for Supplement 7 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 43 Proposal to align UN R43 with GTR 6 and UN R125 with regard to the aiming positions of the driver’s eyes. This proposal corrects inconsistencies introduced during the transposition of GTR 6 into UN R43.
GRSG-113-16 | Proposal for draft amendments to UN Regulation No. 43 Proposal to align UN R43 with values in GTR No. 6 and UN R125 with regard to the aiming positions of the driver’s eyes.. This document complements and completes the proposal in document GRSG/2017/15.
GRSG-113-30 | Comment on GRSG/2017/15: Proposal for Supplement 7 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 43 Proposal to correct document GRSG/2017/15 based upon comparison against GTR No. 6. The table being revised is in Annex 18 (not 21). This proposal further corrects several values in the table per the original table developed under GTR 6.
WP.29/2017/111 | Proposal for Supplement 6 to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 43 Proposal to align the headform test with the deceleration measurement and the test of resistance to abrasion with ISO 15082:2016-11, including changes to the test details, correction of the headform calibration values, and the introduction of abrasion reference materials. The latter is combined with an abrasive-wheel qualification and a correction calculation (for plastic materials only). The proposal also amends Figure 2a of Annex 21 to better reflect the meaning of paragraph 2.4.2.2. of Annex 21, mainly to clarify the lateral limits of any opaque obscuration in this area.

5. (a) Awareness of the proximity of Vulnerable Road Users: Regulation No. 46 (Devices for indirect vision)
GRSG-113-17 | Proposal for amendments to the 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 46 Proposal to clarify the camera monitor provisions with regard to the use of image overlays. The current English text can be interpreted to allow overlays only when the vehicle is moving in reverse. In particular, this resulted in an unambiguous translation into French allowing overlays only when the vehicle is in reverse gear. The original intent was to limit overlays to rear views of the vehicle regardless of the moving vehicle direction. Therefore, this proposal clarifies the English and French texts.
GRSG-113-28 | Request for guidance regarding approval of interior mirror taximeter Question of possible certification under UN Regulation No. 46.04 for an indirect device class I (interior mirror) acting as a taximeter.
GRSG-113-31 | Proposal for amendments to UN Regulation No. 46 Proposal to correct the omission of Class VII devices from the communication form described under Annex 3 of the regulation.
GRSG-113-17/Rev.1 | Revised proposal for amendments to the 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 46 Proposal as amended following GRSG discussions to clarify the camera monitor provisions with regard to the use of image overlays. The current English text can be interpreted to allow overlays only when the vehicle is moving in reverse. In particular, this resulted in an unambiguous translation into French allowing overlays only when the vehicle is in reverse gear. The original intent was to limit overlays to rear views of the vehicle regardless of the moving vehicle direction. Therefore, this proposal clarifies the English and French texts.
GRSG-113-31/Rev.1 | Revised proposal for amendments to UN Regulation No. 46 Updated proposal to correct the omission of Class VII devices from the communication form described under Annex 3 of the regulation.
5. (b) Awareness of the proximity of Vulnerable Road Users: New Regulation on Blind Spot Information Systems (BSIS)

This proposal is based on GRSG-109-19 and explained in presentations GRSG-110-18-Rev.1 and GRSG-111-24.
6. (a) Amendments to gas-fuelled vehicle regulations: Regulation No. 67 (LPG vehicles)
GRSG/2017/16 | Proposal for the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 67 Proposal to improve the specifications for LPG multi-valves in response to an LPG vehicle fire that resulted in injuries to first responders. A German Type Approval Authority (KBA) analysis concluded that the hose connecting the PRV/PRD of the multi-valve to the gaseous phase was damaged and hose-fragments blocked both PRV and PRD such that pressure could not be adequately reduced. The PRV and PRD were activated, but the fragments considerably reduced the effective section of the relevant tubing and prevented the release of pressure. This proposal aims to prevent such occurrences.
GRSG/2017/22 | Proposal for the amendments to Regulation No. 67 Proposal to insert new provisions on the location on the vehicle of the filling unit, marking of the LPG container date of production, and a limitation on the maximum service life of LPG containers to 15 years.
GRSG/2017/26 | Proposal for a Supplement to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 67 Proposal for new safety provisions with regard to LPG systems having hydraulic interconnections with the petrol or diesel fueling system through which inter-flows of fuels may occur.
GRSG/2017/27 | Proposal for the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 67 Proposal to establish procedures for the approval of non-seamless gas tube(s), gas tube(s) made of materials other than copper, stainless steel, and steel with corrosion-resistant coating, and their couplings in Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) vehicles provided they can withstand the applicable tests according to Annex 15.
GRSG/2017/30 | Proposal for Supplement 15 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 67 Proposal presented as an alternative to the previous proposal from Poland (GRSG/2017/10) to require manufacturers to mark the approval extension number on any accessories relevant to the bonfire test (multivalve or, when approved separately, pressure relief valve (discharge valve) and pressure relief device) so that the fitting of any accessory not on the list of approved configurations (Table 3 in the appendix of Annex 2B) will be prevented/forbidden. This solution would imply a new requirement in Annex 2A for the marking of the accessories fitted to the containers.
GRSG-113-08 | UN Regulation No. 67 (LPG) - Layout of the type-approval certificate, published in Annex 2B Proposal to modify the type-approval certificate as specified in Annex 2B by introducing additional points:<ol class="alpha"><li>Type (point 2-type of equipment)</li><li>its version (point 3)</li><li>variant (point 4) and pressure classification</li><li>(point 5 - include the component's working pressure for class 0)</li></ol> and by renumbering points 2-14 as points 6-18. The proposal would also change the footnote 2 by replacing “Strike out what does not apply” with “Erase where does not apply” or “Delete where not applicable."
GRSG-113-09 | UN Regulation No. 67 (LPG) -Identification of components Proposal to require labeling of products with the designation of the version, variant and the number of type-approval certificate extension based on which the product was approved for sale in order to ensure linking of the technical documentation with the product designation and to improve the ability to verify the design of the components.
GRSG-113-10 | UN Regulation No. 67 (LPG) - Definition of a LPG container type Proposal to delete "trade name" from the approval definition in order to avoid strict interpretations where a manufacturer would be obliged to define a new container type designation whenever the tank's trade name is updated (whereas the trade name is inconsequential in terms of product approval).
GRSG-113-18 | Proposal for amendments to the draft 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 67 Alternative solution from OICA to the German proposal GRSG/2017/16 regarding visibility/access requirements for PRV/PRD-related components in order to improve maintenance and reduce the risk of critical failures of pressure relief devices.
GRSG-113-19 | OICA comments on document GRSG/2017/22 concerning UN R67 OICA proposal of modifications to the Turkey proposal to insert new provisions on the location on the vehicle of the filling unit, marking of the LPG container date of production, and a limitation on the maximum service life of LPG containers to 15 years. Given that the risks concern containers located outside and under the vehicle, OICA proposes focusing discussion of the 15-year service life on such containers. In addition, the proposal would introduce new requirements and therefore would require transitional provisions.
GRSG-113-32 | Proposal for Supplement 15 to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 67 <ol><li>Document GRSG/2017/22 proposed by Turkey raised concerns regarding the location on the vehicle of the filling unit and a limitation of the service life of LPG containers</li><li>In order to prevent a proliferation of different service-life specifications, AEGPL proposes a fixed mandatory service live of 10 years.</li></ol>
GRSG-113-36 | Proposal for Supplement 15 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 67 Proposal to require marking of extension numbers on accessories relevant to the UN R67 bonfire test (e.g., multivalve, pressure relief valve, pressure relief device) in order to prevent/prohibit the misuse (in container configurations) of these accessories. The proposal includes provisions for components where such marking is impractical based upon text drawn from UN R46.
GRSG/2017/16 | Proposal for the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 67 Proposal to improve the specifications for LPG multi-valves in response to an LPG vehicle fire that resulted in injuries to first responders. A German Type Approval Authority (KBA) analysis concluded that the hose connecting the PRV/PRD of the multi-valve to the gaseous phase was damaged and hose-fragments blocked both PRV and PRD such that pressure could not be adequately reduced. The PRV and PRD were activated, but the fragments considerably reduced the effective section of the relevant tubing and prevented the release of pressure. This proposal aims to prevent such occurrences.
GRSG-113-19 | OICA comments on document GRSG/2017/22 concerning UN R67 OICA proposal of modifications to the Turkey proposal to insert new provisions on the location on the vehicle of the filling unit, marking of the LPG container date of production, and a limitation on the maximum service life of LPG containers to 15 years.

6. (b) Amendments to gas-fuelled vehicle regulations: Regulation No. 110 (CNG and LNG vehicles
GRSG/2017/17 | Proposal for the 03 series of amendments to Regulation No. 110 Proposal for a new series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 110 to improve the specifications for the installation and inspection of CNG cylinders and of LNG tanks and their accessories. This proposal addresses incidents caused by cylinder corrosion. The proposal aims to reinforce the requirements for adequate cylinder protection and for sufficient access to the cylinder and its accessories to allow regular visual inspection.
GRSG-113-02 | Rationale for the proposed amendments to Regulation No. 110 Rationale for the proposal to harmonize UN R110 with ISO 11439:2013.
GRSG-113-03 | NGV comments on the proposed amendments to UN Regulation No. 110 Comments from NGV Global on the proposals from Italy (GRSG-112-28) and Germany (GRSG-112-33) regarding the testing and inspection of CNG cylinders.
GRSG/2017/29 | Proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 110 Proposal to require, in instances where ogive protective covers are fitted to a cylinder, that the covers be removed before conducting the impact damage (drop) test.
GRSG/2017/31 | Proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 110 Proposal to harmonize the requirements on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and/or Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) vehicles of UN Regulation No. 110 with those of the international standard ISO 11439:2013.
GRSG-113-06 | Proposal for a corrigendum to Revision 3 of UN Regulation No. 110 In the absence of complete harmonization with ISO 11439, this proposal recommends that Table 6.4 of UN R110 should be amended by the following for CNG-1 designs:<ol class="alpha"><li>Delete A.17, A.25, and A.7 since they do not match the tests specified in paragraph 7.5 on Cylinder design qualification tests</li><li>Add A.15 and A.6 since they do match the tests specified in paragraph 7.5 on Cylinder design qualification tests</li><li>Add A.24 because paragraph 6.9 on Fire protection requires all PRDs on all cylinder types to comply with A.24.</li></ol>
GRSG-113-20 | Proposal for amendments to UN Regulation No. 110 - Periodic requalification Proposal to improve provisions for the visual inspection of CNG cylinders, LNG tanks, and their accessories. Germany has proposed (document GRSG-112-33) the prohibition of components or parts of protective housing which must be disassembled during inspection. Italy has proposed (document GRSG-112-28) that visual inspection of cylinders Include access inside any protective covers of the cylinders. Based upon field experience, OICA believes that corrosion damage between support straps, brackets, and pads and the cylinder can be readily identified during visual inspection. Such corrosion requires cylinder replacement. Therefore, OICA proposes clarifications to inspection procedures to address the German and Italian concerns.
GRSG-113-21 | Proposal for amendments to UN Regulation No. 110 - Transitional provisions Proposal to include transitional provisions for the alignment of UN Regulation No. 110 with ISO 11439:2013 per document GRSG/2017/31.
GRSG-113-24 | Proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 110 - CNG accumulator Proposal for further discussion concerning technical advances in the use of CNG accumulators as an intermediate technology for promoting high, stable pressure in CNG engine injection systems. The CNG accumulator is used to stabilize the gas pressure and to allow engine operation whenever the LNG supply system is not able to deliver fuel. This proposal would define requirements to enable the certification of these components.
GRSG-113-25 | Proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 110 - CNG compressor Proposal for discussion to enable the certification of CNG compressor components. Due to density and temperature constraints, LNG fuel systems require technologies to warm the LNG fuel to reach temperatures and pressures suitable for the engine. In some configurations, this involves the use of CNG compressors. Therefore, this proposal seeks to enable use of this technology through establishment of requirements to ensure safety.
GRSG-113-26 | Proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 110 - Annex 5 references Proposal to clarify the test procedure to be applied in assessing compliance with the requirement for "compatibility with heat exchange fluids of non-metallic parts" Annex 5Q is part of UN Regulation No. 110. In Annex 4D, the wording "Compatibility with heat exchange fluids" is used but there is no reference to the applicable tests. The proposal clarifies that the "LNG heat exchanger – vaporizer" falls within Annex 5Q. The proposal correspondingly clarifies the general overview Figure 1-2, with all tests from Annex 5, and Table 5.1 in Annex 5.

GRSG/2017/24 | Proposal for a new UN Regulation concerning the approval of immobilizers Proposal from the IWVTA informal group to extract provisions from UN R116 into a new UN Regulation concerning the approval of immobilizers and the approval of a vehicle with regard to its immobilizer.
GRSG/2017/25 | Proposal for a new UN Regulation concerning the approval of vehicle alarm systems Proposal from the IWVTA informal group to extract provisions from UN R116 into a new UN Regulation concerning the approval of vehicle alarm systems and the approval of a vehicle with regard to its vehicle alarm system.
GRSG-113-22 | Proposal for Supplement 6 to the original series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 116 Proposal to delete references to European standards for radio transmissions (paragraphs 6.2.3., 7.2.3. and 8.2.2.). Manufacturers must comply with legal requirements established by local authorities around the world. Therefore, the references to European norms present one instance of local requirements rather than an international set of agreed requirements.

10. Regulation No. 121 (Identification of controls, tell-tales and indicators)
GRSG/2017/18 | Proposal for Supplement 10 to the original series of amendments and Supplement 2 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 121 Proposal to clarify that footnote <sup>18</sup> of Table 1 applies to telltale no. 1 (Master lighting switch) when it is combined with telltale no. 19 (Position, side marker, and/or end-outline marker lamps). Footnote <sup>18</sup> states, "Symbol may be shown in other colours than specified in column 5 in order to convey different meanings according to the general colour coding as proposed in paragraph 5. of ISO 2575-2004."
GRSG-113-39 | UN R121: Proposal for Supplement 10 to the original series of amendments and Supplement 2 to the 01 series of amendments Proposal to delete footnote <sup>18</sup> of Table 1 regarding telltale no. 1 (Master lighting switch) when it is combined with telltale no. 19 (Position, side marker, and/or end-outline marker lamps). The footnote is redundant and potentially confusing since UN R121 already refers to paragraph 5. of ISO 2575-2004 which states, "A given symbol may be shown in more than one of the colours specified in 5.1 in order to convey a change in the operating condition."
GRSG-113-42 | UN R121: Proposal for Supplement 10 to the original series of amendments and Supplement 2 to the 01 series of amendments Proposal to insert Footnote 18 for Tell-tale 1 (Master lighting switch) stating, “Symbol may be shown in other colours than specified in column 5 in order to convey different meanings according to the general colour coding as proposed in paragraph 5. of ISO 2575-2004.”

13. International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA)
GRSG-113-40 | Draft General Guidelines for United Nations regulatory procedures and transitional provisions in UN Regulations
WP.29/2017/131 | Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement - Questions and answers
WP.29/2017/108 | Draft UN Regulation No. 0 on uniform provisions concerning the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval Proposal submitted by the informal working group on the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval for the establishment of UN Regulation No. 0 regarding the approval of whole vehicles within the framework of the 1958 Agreement. The regulations would establish an International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA) scheme whereby Contracting Parties adhering to the Regulation may issue approvals to either a limited level (L-IWVTA) or to a wider range of technical topics included in the universal level (U-IWVTA). Contracting Parties are able to apply the limited or universal IWVTA depending upon the national situation. The Universal-IWVTA (U-IWVTA) provides a greater level of certainty for vehicle manufacturers and Contracting Parties applying this UN Regulation, as the approval has to be accepted without further assessment of the technical items covered by the U-IWVTA issued. Contracting Parties applying this UN Regulation are not obliged to accept approvals to the limited level (L-IWVTA) but may do so at their choice. However, they have also to accept approvals issued pursuant to U-IWVTA. The UN Regulation includes the administrative obligations of the IWVTA scheme. It does not establish separate technical requirements but instead refers to the provisions of the separate UN Regulations.
WP.29/2017/109 | Explanation to UN Regulation No. 0 on the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval - Questions and answers
WP.29/2017/107 | Draft General Guidelines for United Nations regulatory procedures and transitional provisions in UN Regulations Proposal from the IWVTA informal group to supersede the current guidelines for regulatory procedures and transitional provisions for UN Regulations (document WP.29/1044 and its Revision 1) with updated general guidelines for establishing or amending UN Regulations, including for the definition of scope, administrative and transitional provisions, use of alternative requirements, and cross-referencing with other regulations. This proposal aims to <ol class="alpha"><li>Streamline future work without superseding provisions of the 1958 Agreement and the existing UN Regulations,</li><li>Clarify rulemaking procedures pursuant to Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement, and</li><li>Ensure "good regulatory practice" through clarifications to avoid divergence between the interpretation of Revision 3 and the application to UN Regulations.</li></ul>
