Copy of document GRRF-81-14. Presentation on French government views on the approval of automated steering at speeds above 10 km/h under UN Regulation No. 79. The principle recommendation is to restrict amendments to UN R79 to lateral vehicle control as speeds above 10 km/h while setting other work on more advanced capabilities (longitudinal + latitudinal, lane change, passing, etc.) for future separate regulations.

Proposal to align the communication form with with the scope of the Regulation regarding vehicle categories (adding category L).

In the English version of UN Regulation No. 34, the provisions for lateral collision are referenced in para. 1.2. of the scope and in para. 9 of Part II on vehicle tests, but (unlike in the French translation) they are not mentioned in para. 5.10. on the test requirements for liquid fuel tanks. This proposal aims to align the English version to French text of the Regulation with regard to the test provisions for side impacts.

Proposal to exempt any heaters (and not only combustion heaters as in the current text) located outside the passenger compartment and using water as a transfer medium are deemed to comply with the annexes on air quality and temperature.

Proposal for editorial corrections to align the definition on plastic glazing between the original English version and the French translation as well as of the communication annex on principal/secondary characteristics for laminated-glass windscreens.

Proposal to clarify provisions concerning the second-level warning for seat-belt reminders, especially with regard to rear seat positions.

France presentation discussing the potential of a regulation on common requirements of automated driving technologies.

Proposal to simplify the verification of the sufficient movement on the balancer without having to take measurements underneath the trailer in a potentially unsafe position.

In order to have a Regulation on the retreaded tyres with definitions and provisions structured in the same way of those previously introduced in amendments of “new tyres” Regulations, this amendment:

1. indicates that for the purpose of this Regulation “tyres” means “pneumatic tyres” (all text amended accordingly)
2. introduces definitions of:
   • “retreader” copy based on that “manufacturer” in the tyres regulations
   • Brand name", “Trademark”, “Trade description” and “Commercial name” as defined in the tyre regulations
   • Material manufacturer / material supplier
3. takes into account the rounding rules (already approved in the other tyre regulations) for the calculation of width and diameter of the tyres
4. aligns the title and the provisions of the para. 12 related to the names and addresses of Technical Services, Approved Laboratories and administrative Department with their equivalent in the tyres regulations
5. add some information in the certificate to the attention of the Type Approval Authorities for making easier the relationship between this one and the products
6. introduces:
   • In para. 6.4.4.1., the possibility for the material manufacturer or supplier of the pre-cured tread pattern to provide directly to the Type Approval Authority (or Technical Service) all the documents needed to demonstrate the retreaded tyres produced with this pre-cured tread pattern fulfil the requirements of paragraph 7.2. in order to be classified as a “snow tyre for use in severe snow conditions”
   • In para. 7.1.4.2. a new table of tolerances with the objective to properly take into account the requirements for size designations in Annex 5 in addition to what already expressed. The maximum overall width has been taken from the international Tyre Standard ETRTO and Tire and Rim Association.

Proposal to exempt all heaters located outside the passenger compartment and using water as a transfer medium from the requirements of the annexes on air quality and temperature. The current text only exempts combustion heaters.

Proposal to clarify the test requirements in alignment with the French text of the regulation by amending paragraph 5.10 to read “There shall be no protruding parts, sharp edges, etc. near the installed tank likely to increase the risk of damage on the tank in the event a collision to the front, the side or the rear of the vehicle.” (Modified text in bold)

Proposal to clarify the intent and rationale behind the proposal to simplify the verification of sufficient movement on the balancer without having to take measurements underneath the trailer in a potentially unsafe position.

Proposal to specify the proper use and behavior of an adult safety-belt used to install a non-integral Enhanced CRS during dynamic tests. These instructions are present in UN R44, but not in UN R129. Therefore, this proposal would align the two regulations.

Proposal to clarify that the second level warning requirement in the 02 series of amendments to the UN R16 is dependent upon the needs of each seating position. A strict reading of paragraph 2.45. would require a second-level warning in the event of any unfastened seat-belt in a front or rear position. This proposal would clarify that the second-level warning is required depending on the individual position requirement (e.g., based on detection that a position is occupied).

Proposal to allow for the use of electronic means (QR code, smartphone software application, etc.) in furnishing the consumer with the list of vehicle applications of a CRS.

Proposal to amend geometrical criteria and installation provisions for lateral protection barriers in order to improve their performance with regard to vulnerable road users (e.g., lateral contact with a motorcycle or its rider(s)).

Proposal to update the horizontal static force requirement for lateral protection devices to 3 kN and the deflection under load criteria to 90 mm over the rearmost 250 mm of the device and 450 mm over the remainder of the device. The purpose is to reduce the risk of running over a person (e.g., a motorcycle rider) during a lateral collision.

Request for guidance regarding interpretation of UN lighting rules:

1. Is it allowed that the shape of the apparent surface can be the logo of the manufacturer brand or other brand-identifying figures?
2. Is it allowed that the shape of the apparent surface can be the same as an evocative/suggestive figure? Even as an informative figure such as road traffic
   signs?
3. Is the advertising lighting allowed at the national level in the Contracting parties, regarding to its influence on road safety and distraction?
4. Do we have to consider an apparent surface, whose shape is the logo of a brand manufacturer or other brand-identifying figures, as a advertising lighting?

Discussion of the evolution of UN R73 with a proposal to update load requirements for lateral protection devices:

• Application of a force of 3kN perpendicular to the device (as currently defined)
• Max. strain under loading at 90mm over the 250mm most rearwards part
• Max. strain under loading at 450mm on the other parts.
