Proposal from the task force on UN R46 to address pure Class 1 monitor positioning relative to driver wearing bifocal eyeglasses, requirements for surveillance cameras (including definition of “Surveillance camera-monitor-recording device”), approval marking for devices with more than one field of view, provisions on obstruction of the field of view, provisions for the rounding of the magnification factors, clarification of provisions to avoid conflict with ADR rules, clarification of external surface, radius of curvature requirement on the backside of Class I mirrors, and corrections to the text.

Proposal to clarify the pendulum test procedures (based on UN R46 task force discussions).

Proposal for amendments to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2024/40 to make the qualitative criteria in
paragraph 15.2.4.9.2. (new) ambiguous if they are separated from the concept of an
obstruction rate of 10% or less as stipulated in the current regulations.

Proposal to:

• Improve the positioning of pure Class I monitors for drivers with presbyopia (difficulty in clearly seeing close objects)
• Introduce installation requirements for surveillance mirrors and surveillance camera-monitor-recording devices
• Allow for single approval number for devices with more than one field-of-view
• Refine obstruction provisions
• Introduce provisions for rounding of magnification factors
• Introduce a new definition for “Surveillance camera-monitor-recording device”
• Clarification of the “external original surface” concept
• Clarification that the radius of curvature is not be mandatory on the back of Class I mirrors
• Allow greater flexibility in conducting the pendulum testing
• Clarify the “operation readiness” with respect to partially folded camera wings
• Allow for alternatives to the test defined in annex 7 for evaluating the radius of curvature on the reflecting surface if needed
• Correct certain errors.
