Czech Republic defense of its approval of the BEDI inflatable car seat system in response to the CLEPA assertion that such seats fail to meet UN R44 requirements.

The Czech Republic submitted this proposal to
clarify the provisions on resistance to ageing in the UN R67.

The Czech Republic submitted this proposal to
clarify the general test provisions in the Regulation, mainly those on fuel rail.

Designation of testing services for the new UN Regulations on pedestrian safety, LED light sources, lane departure warning systems, automatic emergency braking systems, and enhanced child restraint systems.

Proposal to correct the transitional provisions with regard to the application of paragraph 6.2.7.6.1. in the 06 series of amendments in order to align with the 05 series of amendments.

The 05 and 06 series of amendments provide for automatic adjustment of lamps based on ambient light conditions. To avoid misuse of the daytime running lamps (DRL), automatic switching between DRL and dipped-beam headlamps is preferable; however, manual switching for specific cases is still necessary. Under the transitional provisions for series 05 of amendments, only automatic switching would be permissible after 30.7.2016 (for new type of categories M1 and N1 vehicles) and after 30.1.2018 (for new type of other categories vehicles). Nonetheless, in the transitional provisions for series 06 of amendments, the same transitional period appears to have been unintentionally omitted. This proposed supplement corrects this mistake in the 06 series by deleting the alternatives to the automatic switching from the 06 series of amendments:

1. deletion of paragraphs 6.2.7.6.2 and 6.2.7.6.3;
2. merging and rewording of paragraphs 6.2.7.5 and 6.2.7.6;
3. consequent editorial adjustment in paragraph 5.11.1.3. and 6.19.7.4. to maintain acceptable the rear position lamps switching possibility allowed by the present text;
4. small editorial changes to better clarify that an automatic switching based on different factors in respect to those prescribed in paragraph 6.2.7.5. (new numbering) are allowed only as supplemental condition;
5. other editorial changes and renumbering for text and numbering coherence.

Proposal to replace the prohibition against the use of reinforced insulation for trolleybus circuits directly connected to the overhead power line with a requirement that such circuits shall be double insulated.

Headlamp Switching Task Force working draft based on Czech Republic and Italy proposals

Alternate version of the Headlamp Switching Task Force working draft text based upon Czech Republic and Italy proposals.

Proposal to replace the prohibition against the use of reinforced insulation for trolleybus circuits directly connected to the overhead power line with a requirement that such circuits shall be double insulated.

Proposal to re-insert paragraph 5.11.1.3. with regard to switching between headlamps and DRLs. Although GRE agreed to delete this and related paragraphs during its 77th session (see para. 19 and Annex II of the 77th session report), the Task Force on Headlamp Switching decided upon further review to retain the possibility to switch ON DRLs in conjunction with at least the rear position lamps without the need for the position lamps tell-tale in that case.

Under UN R112, a Class B lighting device that fulfills the requirements for Class A headlamps may be approved. However, UN R74 prohibits the use of Class B devices in this manner. Therefore, this proposal would remove the discrepancy and enable the installation of Class B devices approved under UN R112 as headlamps.

Proposal to correct and clarify the requirements for daytime running lamps (DRL) in conjunction with rear position lamps.

Proposal to clarify the reference point determination in paragraph 3.3. for categories L₆ and L₇ vehicles and to correct Figure 1 in Annex 4, Appendix 1.
