UN R43: Proposal for Supplement 8 to the 01 series of amendments
Proposal to amend Annex 7 (laminated-glass panes), inserting a new paragraph 6 to allow optional 2,260 g ball test and headform test for laminated-glass panes. The proposal adds the marking “/D” to signify laminated-glass panes subjected to the 2,260 g ball test and the headform test. The proposal aims to enable the approval of laminated-glass panes with improved mechanical properties, especially as designed for front, exterior, forward-facing glazing of the upper deck of a double-deck vehicle.
This proposal (WP.29/2018/122) was adopted by the World Forum. Thirty-seven Contracting Parties out of the 48 applying UN R43 were present for the vote by AC.1. Thirty-seven voted in favor with zero against and zero abstaining.
