Proposal to clarify and correct the reference in paragraph 8.3.6. to UN R14 and the new UN Regulation on ISOFIX anchorages with regard to the measurement of the pitch angle used for the geometrical assessment of the installation of ISOFIX child restraint fixtures. This proposal relates directly to the supplements presented in document WP.29/2017/120.

1. align the regulation with legislation of the European Union, United States of America, and Japan,
2. clarify the test procedure, including ambient temperature provisions,
3. reduce unnecessary time and cost demands of the COP test procedures,
4. apply the minimum burst pressure BP_min as the pressure limit in the hydrostatic pressure rupture test for COP batch testing, and

A proposal for the Definitions of Automated Driving under WP.29 and the General Principles for developing a UN Regulation as developed during the 2nd ITS/AD informal group ad hoc session.

Working draft proposal to establish an informal working group to prepare the materials necessary for the management of the international whole vehicle type approval (IWVTA) process and for the exchange of type approval data (DETA). In particular, this group would include the type approval authorities in order to ensure coverage of all the remaining administrative and technical issues related to the IWVTA process.

The mandate of IWVTA Informal Group will terminate by the end of the year 2017. This document is the first tentative draft proposal of “Rules of Procedure and Terms of Reference for IWVTA Phase 2 Informal Group” to be further scrutinized and refined by IWVTA Informal Group, taking into account views expressed in the June session of WP. 29. IWVTA Informal Group plans to submit final proposal to WP.29 for consideration at its November session.

Japan comments on the guidelines for using the approval marking method developed under the type-approval data exchange (DETA) program.

The question and answer document aims to clarify the operation of the international whole vehicle type approval system. This question would confirm that a Contracting Party may apply additional requirements taken from a UN Regulation beyond those regulations specifically required under a limited whole vehicle approval (L-IWVTA). The L-IWVTA partially applies the list of requirements for a “Universal International Whole Vehicle Approval” (U-IWVTA). A CP could list UN Regulations required for an L-IWVTA and then notify WP.29 of additional requirements taken from other UN Regulations.

Proposal to clarify that dipped-beam headlamps may not be switched OFF manually when they have been switched ON automatically according to paragraph 6.2.7.5., except in the case specified in paragraph 6.2.7.5.1. Manual switching OFF of headlamps at night should be limited to exceptional cases specified in the regulation. This proposal clarifies that daytime running lamps shall not be switched OFF except as specified in paragraphs 6.19.7.1. to 6.19.7.6.
