Proposal to amend paragraph 5.4.2.3. of the 01 series of amendments and the original version to UN R152 to require at least two deliberate actions by the driver where automatic deactivation of the AEBS function is a consequence of the driver manually switching off the ESC function of the vehicle. Footnotes 2 to 8 in the 01 series are renumbered to accurately reference correct footnotes. This revision addresses GRVA-24-04.

Proposal to amend Annex 4 Table 1 to modify the Vulnerable road user secondary safety system warning indicator status data element to record interval -1.1 to 0 sec, modify the VRU Accident emergency call system status data element to recording interval 0-300 ms or 0 to end of event time plus 30 ms whichever is shorter, add Advanced driver distraction warning (ADDW) status as mandatory with On and Off values for Planar, VRU, Rollover, and AEBS events, add ADDW time since warning issued as mandatory with 0 to 240 sec range and +/-1% accuracy at 1 sec resolution, add Driver control assistance system driver monitoring system time since disengagement warning issued as mandatory with 0 to 1000 sec or 0 to 240 sec range and +/-1% accuracy at 1 sec resolution, add Driver drowsiness and attention warning (DDAW) status as mandatory with On and Off values for Planar, VRU, Rollover, and AEBS events, and add DDAW time since warning issued as mandatory with 0 to 60 min or 0 to 600 seconds range, +/-1% accuracy, and 1 min or 1 sec resolution.

Australian proposal to allow for a “not to apply at this time” notification rather than the current term expressing “disagreement”. Australia notes that a Contracting Party can perfectly agree with a regulation, but be unable to implement it until a date later than the UN date of “entry into force”.

Proposal to replace the term “climate of trust” with a “risk assessment methodology” in addressing conformity of production assessments.

Australia and the UK propose:

• New text for Article 4 (rights and obligations in cases of a non-conforming approval to a UN regulation), particularly to clarify the terminology used (threat to road safety or to the environment….) and to strengthen the provisions;
• New text in Schedule 7, Section 5 to allow the granting of individual “exemption approvals” without committing Contracting Parties to accept such approvals within their own market;
• Changes to Article 3 to clarify that the acceptance of a UN regulation that has been applied is also subject to it meeting any discretionary options allowed for within the regulation;
• Changes to Article 8 so that approvals issued by a CP automatically cease to be valid after a defined period should the CP withdraw from the Agreement; and
• UK acceptance of text proposed by Australia to address CP’s that do not have approval authorities.

Comments from Australia and the UK on the draft “Proposal for Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement”.

Proposal to define procedures for resolving differences in cases where a Contracting Party determines that a product approved by another Contracting Party does not conform with the requirements of the regulation under which it was approved.

Document raising concerns that the current draft of the proposed UN Regulation 0 on whole vehicle type approvals would impose new mutual recognition requirements beyond the current 1958 Agreement.

Revisions to the draft regulation on international whole vehicle type approvals.

Explanations from Japan and Australia concerning specific vehicle marking requirements relevant to the development of the UN regulation to govern international whole vehicle type approvals.

Presentation of Australian concerns over incompatibilities between its local requirements for top-tether anchorages in child restraint systems and the provisions of UN R14. Since it wishes to participate fully in the IWVTA system, Australia proposes that UN R14 be transferred from the IWVTA List A (single global requirement) to List B (multiple requirements to account for regional differences). Australia also can thus accept UN R16 (occupant restraint systems) on List A. Australia needs more time to reach a position on UN R10 (electromagnetic compatibility).

Annotated update of the first draft of the proposed UN R0 on whole vehicle type approvals.

Proposals to modify UN Regulations 10 and 14 to address requirements under Australian law.

Request to move UN R44 on child restraint systems to the “B list” of regulations (eventual consideration for inclusion in the whole vehicle type approval) from the “A list” of regulations identified for use in the first phase implementation of the IWVTA system.

Proposed text to explain procedures for the withdrawal or revocation of a whole vehicle type approval, including differences between a universal (U-IWVTA) approval and a limited (L-IWVTA) approval.

New pole side impact GTR presented as a prelude to its formal presentation for an adoption vote at the November 2013 WP.29 session.

Draft proposal transposing the provisions of the pole side-impact protection Global Technical Regulation into a UN Regulation as approved by the Working Party on Passive Safety (document GRSP/2014/9, as amended by Annex VII to the report of the 55th GRSP session). This proposal is submitted with a request for guidance on the use of references to an ISO Standard (ISO 15830:2013) instead of preparing an Addendum to the Mutual Resolution No. 1 (M.R.1.) for the WorldSID 50th male specifications.

Proposal for an 01 series of amendments to the proposed new UN Regulation on pole side-impact protection (transposing GTR No. 14). This proposal would permit contracting parties to to require a vehicle-to-pole impact speed of 32 ± 1 km/h regardless of the “vehicle width” and is based upon document GRSP/2014/12 and amends the draft PSI regulation as proposed in document WP.29/163/14. The Working Party on Passive Safety approved this proposal provided that Australia would seek guidance on its transitional provisions (since this amendment would, in principle, be adopted at the same time as the original PSI regulation at the November 2014 WP.29 session). This draft incorporates comments from Germany, Japan, and OICA received after the GRSP 55th session.

Explanatory document on the deliberations and outstanding issues concerning the draft UN Regulation and its proposed 01 series of amendments. These issues concern the references to an ISO standard and transitional provisions for the amendment.
