Correction of a reference used in the original proposal for a new UN Regulation on agricultural vehicle couplings. In Annex 6, paragraph 1.7., 3.3.6. and 3.7.1.: The Term F_s is not needed and misleading. The vertical component of the test force is named F_v. This term should be used throughout the whole document concerning the vertical component of the test forces.

Proposed changes with regard to the implementation of technical specifications for Lane Departure Warning Systems (LDWS)

Proposal to introduce new requirements for trailers braked by an inertia (overrun) braking system.

Text was prepared by the informal group on tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPM) and transmitted to the Working Party on Brake and Running Gear (GRRF) by the Chairperson (Germany).

Text prepared by Germany to clarify that an electromechanical transmission device is allowed in addition to an electrical or a hydraulic transmission device within electrical braking systems.

This document seeks to correct a “copy and paste” mistake concerning a signature requirement made when copying text from Annex 11 into Annex 12, Appendix 4. This proposal would delete the superfluous passages.

Text prepared by Germany to clarify electrical braking system and energy supply line requirements with regard to towed trailers, including proposals for voltage specifications and inclusion of electro-hydraulic transmission devices within such systems. The text also seeks to align terminology with comparable paragraphs in other UN Regulations.

Proposals by Germany and the Netherlands to clarify trailer requirements under UN Regulation Nos. 13 and 13-H, including the removal of design restrictions that prevent the use of electro-hydraulic and electro-pneumatic braking systems.

Proposal from Germany to introduce a new Annex 23 into UN Regulation No. 13 covering special additional requirements for trailers of category O2 without pneumatic connections and equipped with service braking systems with pneumatic energy storage devices. In addition, the document proposes to further amend braking requirements for trailers under Regulation No. 13 and 13-H to address these new braking systems.

Proposal to introduce technical requirements for Corrective Steering Functions (lane departure prevention, lane-keeping assistance (LKAS), steering angle correction, etc.) as defined in the regulation. The proposal offers four options to ensure appropriate approvals of LKAS and related CSF systems until such time as more precise requirements can be defined:

• Option 1 and option 2: Not to grant any type approvals for corrective steering functions until detailed technical requirements for CSF are incorporated into this Regulation.
• Option 3: Amend the definition of CSF as proposed in this document.
• Option 4: Amend the definition of corrective steering functions and to include technical requirements for LKAS as an ASCF of Category B1 as proposed in this document.

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.

Proposal to restrict manual deactivation of AEB systems to speeds under 30 km/h. The proposal would require automatic reactivation of the AEBS when the vehicle speed exceeds 30 km/h.

Proposal from Germany to clarify the interior materials to be tested under UN R118 01 series. Research showed that the definition used in US FMVSS 302 (any material or component which is within 13 mm of the interior compartment air space) offers a more appropriate wording.

Proposal to update UN R26 in view of technological advances in bumper system designs.

Proposed amendments to update UN R61 in view of technological progress in the design of vehicle bumper systems and to align the regulation with terms and provisions of the GTR on pedestrian safety.

Submission from Germany, superseding document GRSG/2011/26 (distributed at the 101st session of the Working Party on General Safety Provisions) proposing amendments to provisions concerning hoses and couplings in UN R67.

Proposal to replace the term “double glazing” with “multiple glazing” and “double-glazed unit” with “multiple-glazed unit” and to amend provisions to permit approval of such components that involve assemblies of more than two window panes.

Proposal from Germany, superceding document GRSG/2011/19, to introduce more stringent
requirements for rear under run protection devices.

Progress report of the ISO working group developing ISO 16505 (minimum safety, ergonomic and performance requirements for Camera-Monitor Systems replacing legacy mirror classes in road vehicles).

Revised proposal (superseding GRSG/2012/22) to clarify the interior materials to be tested by introducing the definition used in the US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 302 (e.g., any material or component which is within 13 mm of the interior compartment air space shall meet the requirements).

Progress report on the ISO effort to prepare an international standard for minimum safety, ergonomic and performance requirements for camera-monitor systems intended to replace mandatory inside and outside mirrors for road vehicles (e.g. Classes I to IV and VII as defined in UN R46).

Correction of errors and oversights in Supplement 10 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 67 (document WP.29/2011/108) adopted at the November 2011 WP.29 session.

Proposed amendments to Regulation No. 46 to align the text in the table in paragraph 15.2.1.1.1 (minimum number of mirrors) with the amendments to be introduced via the 04 series of amendments (document WP.29/2012/87).

Text prepared by Germany to introduce requirements to prevent accidents when the flap covering the engine compartment is open.

Proposal from Germany to amend the 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 and disallowing the priority designation for folding seats.

Text prepared by Germany to introduce the automatic activation of the hazard warning lights upon detection of excess temperatures in engine and/or heater compartment.

Text prepared by the expert from Germany to amend requirements concerning the accessibility of emergency windows as presented in document GRSG/2012/15 following the GRSG discussion during its 103rd session.

Proposal to introduce an “if fitted” clause into the regulation scope in order to clarify that installation of devices to prevent unauthorized vehicle use is not mandatory.

Proposal to strike “retractable step” language from the regulation with regard to low-floor buses since these vehicles are specifically associated with only one single step from the ground into the low floor area.

Request to extend the mandate of the informal group working on type approval test procedures for plastic glazed windows.

Proposal to extend the mandate of the informal group from April 2013 to October 2014.

Project schedule for completion of amendments to introduce the type approval of plastic glazing into UN R43.

Text prepared by Germany to reintroduce 1) special type-approval tests and 2) special requirements regarding conformity of production to rigid plastic planes and rigid plastic double glazed units. Two further corrections are proposed in deleting 3) a false approval mark and 4) references to tests in the table of tests to be applied to safety glazing.

At the 100th GRSG session, Germany presented the document GRSG/2011/19 to propose more demanding requirements for rear underrun protection devices on heavy goods vehicles. The target is to ensure a higher level of safety for passenger car occupants, who have a high risk to get severely or fatally injured in case of hitting the rear of a truck or trailer. This document provides a cost-benefit analysis in support of the proposal.

Proposal to clarify that “low-floor vehicles” concern only those vehicles that provide a single step from the ground into the low floor area.
