EU/JPN CO2/FC COP Procedures

Proposal for Class IX devices to enable approval of front and lateral close-proximity passenger-side vision devices based upon current standards in Japan. The purpose is to address VRU safety risks on narrow roads and other conditions where cyclists and pedestrians must share the lane with vehicles. Please note that discussion of this proposal was deferred to a future meeting.

Presentation in support to Japan’s proposal to introduce approval option for close-poiximity VRU vision devices (document VRU-Proxi-08-12).Please note that discussion of this proposal was deferred to a future meeting.

Plans to validate performance thresholds and test procedures for hydrogen effects on slow-strain-rate tensile (SSRT) and related durability/fatigue properties.

This document proposes a draft text for a resolution on “activities other than those related to driving” that the driver of a vehicle equipped with an automated driving system could undertake when the automated driving system is engaged.

Working draft proposal for a new UN Regulation on uniform provisions concerning the approval of devices for reversing motion and motor vehicles with regard to the driver’s awareness of vulnerable road users behind vehicles

Comments on the proposal to introduce requirements for testing sun-load impact.

Japan rationale for proposing Humid Gas Stress Corrosion Cracking (HG-SCC) test methods and performance requirements.

Proposal for a new UN Regulation on uniform provisions concerning the approval of devices for reversing motion and motor vehicles with regard to the driver’s awareness of vulnerable road users behind vehicles

Proposal to amend the draft text (GRVA/2019/9) submitted to resolve measurement concerns in the test requirements for ACSF of Category B1 and C by introducing provisions for tolerances, including:

1. inclusion of the position at which the lateral acceleration was measured and the position of the centre of gravity of the vehicle for better traceablility,
2. sampling rate of at least 100 Hz for dynamic testing,
3. specification of filters and cut-off frequency for determination of lateral acceleration,
4. option to measure “overriding force” torque via an internal sensor or an external device (e.g., steering robot).

Review of the informal group discussions through day 2 of the group session.

Proposal for changes to the draft new UN Regulation on awareness of vulnerable road users behind vehicles.

The False Reaction scenarios in Annex 3-Appendix 2 were based on UN R131 (on-highway heavy vehicles) without verification of their applicability to urban light vehicles. Japan has begun research and anticipates proposing changes to the UN R152 scenarios in the near future. This proposal identifies scenarios under study and recommends tolerances for the vehicle and pedestrian dummy placements. Japan also raises concerns over the provision “the AEBS shall not provide a collision warning” in cases where there is no imminent collision risk.

Comments on the draft regulation on the approval of devices for reversing motion and motor vehicles with regard to the driver’s awareness of vulnerable road users behind vehicles.

Proposal to clarify the conditions under which the vehicles may circulate with the dipped beam headlamps switched OFF.

Japan basically agrees with the proposal made by Germany but considers that certain points need clarification.

Proposal to adapt the rolling-sound measurement procedures to accommodate special C2 tyres presenting a section width wider than 200 mm, aspect ratio lower than 55, rim diameter code lower than 15 and without any dual fitting indication (i.e. the front size 175/75R15 LT and the rear size 235/50R14 LT or the front size 175/75R15 LT and the rear size 265/50R14 LT).

Japan proposal for the SLR ad hoc session on headlamp leveling.

Proposal to align UN R129 with the descriptions used in of UN R44 and UN R94 which refer to resultant head and chest accelerations.

Proposal for editorial corrections to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2019/27

Proposal to to delete paragraph 13.3.4. of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2019/27 as difficulty may arise to judge whether an approval according to the preceding series of amendments is still valid.

Proposal based on document GRSP/2019/19 to define the introduction of limit values for chest vertical acceleration of Q-dummies during dynamic testing of Enhanced Child Restraint Systems (ECRS).

Japan’s position on the alignment of UN R137 with GTR 20 on electric vehicle safety.

Proposal to amend the requirements concerning post-crash electrical safety in the event of frontal collision. The proposal aligns post-crash electrical safety requirements with GTR 20 and aligns administrative provisions with Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement. The amendments would not affect approvals for vehicles without high-voltage electric power trains.

Proposal to amend the requirements concerning post-crash electrical safety in the event of lateral collision. The proposal aligns post-crash electrical safety requirements with GTR 20 and aligns administrative provisions with Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement. The amendments would not affect approvals for vehicles without high-voltage electric power trains.

Proposal to transpose the electrical safety requirements of GTR 20 into UN R100 and align administrative provisions with Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement. The proposal provides for a 2-3 year transitional period. The proposal also integrates the amendments to UN R100 provided in document GRSP/2019/17.

Consolidated revision of UN R100 incorporating the proposal to transpose the electrical safety requirements of GTR 20 into UN R100 and align administrative provisions with Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement. The proposal provides for a 2-3 year transitional period. The proposal also integrates the amendments to UN R100 provided in document GRSP/2019/17.
