Proposal to address new active suspension technologies that can raise the height of the vehicle in motion up to a defined speed. Since the vehicle height has an influence on the headform test area (WAD) and on the test results for legform tests, all possible vehicle heights up to a driving speed of 11.1 m/s (40 km/h) should be considered to be relevant for the impact with a pedestrian. The proposal is a clarification on this issue.To ensure that such an active suspension system is considered for type approval, there should be a detailed description in the information document. Due to the fact that extensions for an existing vehicle type concerning UN Regulation No. 127 are still possible according to 00 and 01 series of amendments, the proposal is relevant for all series of amendments of the UN R127.

Revised proposal (superseding GRSP-63-24) to clarify the possibility to install side-facing seats in buses of category M₂ and M₃ of classes A and I.

Proposal to delete Appendix 5 as a basis for type approval and thereby end static testing as a compliance option.

Proposal to amend Appendix 1 by reducing the forward movement of the head of the manikin to 1.2 m in alignment with UN R14. The proposal would also limit the movement of the seat anchorages to 100 mm to ensure a minimum residual space for the passenger between the seats. Lastly, to ensure that seat fixations are reliably fastened after relocation, the proposal would require the necessary information to be marked directly on the seat and provided in the owner’s manual.

Proposal to introduce a new measurement procedure for the effective height of the head restraint and introduction of the Biofidelic Rear Impact Device (BioRID). This proposal eliminates the backset measurement test procedure using the HRMD method.

Proposal to ensure pedestrian safety across the vehicle height variations that may be produced by active suspensions.

Proposal to clarify the definitions of integrated and detachable head restraints.

Proposal to correct the cross-reference to paragraph 5.11. in paragraph 6.4.3.5. The text should refer to paragraph 5.12.

Request for guidance in order to resolve conflicting interpretations of paragraph 7.1.4.2.2. The paragraphs reads, " The vertical component of the acceleration from the abdomen towards the head shall not exceed 30 g except during periods whose sum does not exceed 3 ms.” However, an explanatory note for Technical Services on performing the tests under Annex 15 adds, "The wording of this paragraph [7.1.4.2.2.] refers to accelerations representing tensile loads in the spine of the dummy.” Differing interpretations have resulted in a CRS being approved but then rejected during Conformity of Production review by a separate Technical Service.

Proposal to ensure pedestrian protection across the vehicle height variations that may be produced by an active suspension system.

Request for a GRSP to establish a task force to develop Q dummy specifications under the resolution on test devices.

The text in paragraphs 2.1.1. to 2.1.9. defines criteria that are relevant to determine which variations of a vehicle can be covered under a single vehicle type without having to apply for a separate approval for another type. The current text contains several sub-paragraphs, which explicitly mention that the differences will only cause a new type of vehicle if the differences effect or negatively affect the results of the impact test described in this regulation, while other sub-paragraphs do not. This proposal extends the condition of the necessity of an influence on the results of the impact test to all criteria described under paragraph 2.1. and at the same time makes the text more clear by deleting the word “negative” in front of “affect” which is mentioned in several paragraphs.

Collective amendments to UN R94 (Frontal collision), UN R95 (Lateral collision) and UN R137 (Frontal Impact with focus on restraint systems). Aim of this document is, to clarify, if it was the intention of Informal Document GRSP-66-32 to delete paragraph 7.1.2.1. to 7.1.2.2.2. If it was the intention to delete these paragraphs, do we still need the simplified test described in Annex 7 of the Regulation?

This proposal aims at re-introducing a text (allowing tolerances on the vehicle mass) that was deleted by the 02 series of amendments.

Proposal to clarify the meaning of the words “at any” in paragraph 2 of Annex 13 of the 10 series of amendments

Proposal to clarify the meaning of the word “or” in paragraph 6.15.1.13 of the 03 series of amendments

Proposal to clarify how to perform the buckle-opening test under point 7.8. of the regulation.

Proposal to replace the moment of inertia of the femur and the tibia of Flexible lower legform impactor with the specifications of GTR 9 and MR 1.

Proposal to transpose GTR-9 Amendment 3 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2024/77) on technical requirements for Deployable Pedestrian Protection Systems, amend Chapter 0 Introduction, amend para. 2. to add provisions for vehicles equipped with DPPS and measurements taken with system undeployed, delete footnotes 2 and 3 from para. 2.1., replace reference to 2.27. by 2.29. in para. 2.31., delete footnotes 5 and 6 from paras. 2.43. and 2.45., insert new paras. 2.50. to 2.61. defining DPPS-related terms including Deployment Time, Detection test area, Head Impact Time, Sensors and Testing of DPPS, amend para. 4.2. to delete approval number supplementation provisions, delete para. 4.4.3., amend paras. 5.2. to 5.2.2. to reference Annex 7 requirements when tested with DPPS activated, replace paras. 11.1. to 11.25. with transitional provisions and insert paras. 11.26. to 11.29. establishing that as from entry into force Contracting Parties shall not refuse type-approvals under 05 series amendments, as from 1 September 2031 shall not accept prior series approvals first issued after that date, shall continue accepting prior approvals first issued before 1 September 2031, and shall continue granting approvals using atypical windscreen fracture procedures until 1 September 2033, amend Annex 1 para. 9.23.1., amend text under Annex 2 heading, amend Annex 3 para. 3.2., and insert new Annexes 7 and 8 establishing test procedures for DPPS including prerequisites, HIT verification methods, headform test procedures, HBM qualification, and documentation requirements.

Proposal to insert a new para. 5.1. requiring that features for design or aerodynamics in the head impact zone shall not impose an additional cause of danger to pedestrians and other vulnerable road users and shall not exhibit openings or contain materials that may increase the risk or seriousness of injury, and renumber paragraphs 5.1. to 5.2. as paragraphs 5.2. to 5.3. This aims to maintain pedestrian safety as requirements become mandatory for small-series vehicles according to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2236 from 7 January 2026, addressing hazards from openings in the head impact zone that may trap impacted heads or permit head intrusion and from bonnet materials like plastics that may deform or fracture, creating injury risks not currently addressed by UN R127’s component tests.

Proposal to insert a new paragraph 0 introducing amendments for vehicles of categories X and Y, and to amend paragraphs 1, 1 footnote 1, 2.8, 2.22, 2.27, 2.29, and 5.3.1.2 of UN R127. The regulation is amended to extend application to vehicles without driver and without manual driving controls, including vehicles equipped with an Automated Driving System. Vehicles of category Y are not in scope. Modifications address the bonnet rear reference line definition, front structure including automated driving sensors for categories X and Y, mass in running order, normal ride attitude, and air ride height suspension engagement conditions.
