Proposal as approved by the GRSG to amend provisions on the installation height of interior emergency controls in Class B vehicles.

Proposal to amend requirements for the minimum number of priority seats (four in Class I, two in Class II and Class III and one in Class A and Class B), to disallow the priority designation for folding seats, and to establish uniform provisions for gangway barriers in vehicles of Classes I and A, including a proposed 50N force limit for moving such barriers out of the way.

Note from the WP.29 Secretariat to note a correction to the proposed supplement. In document WP.29/2014/11 the item concerning Annex 3, paragraph 7.7.8.5.3. where it reads “one in Class A and B”, the text should read “one in Class A.”

Proposal to clarify paragraph 7.7.5.1. with regard to ceiling-mounted displays or monitors and simplify the testing procedure:

• The gauge shall be used only for the identification of the monitors to be tested.
• The simplified way to apply the removal force corresponds to a passenger pushing the monitor/display with its hand, and in these conditions the acceptable force limit is adapted.
• The test must be conducted in both directions.
• The proposed wording for the last condition to fulfil is more technology neutral, the case of automatic redeployment is also considered and banned.

The proposal would also redefine the measurement criteria for determining appropriate seat spacing, including the use of a new testing gauge for the H dimension measurement.
