Comments on document ACSF-03-03. In particular, the document raises the question of whether the proposed amendments should address software validation, the eventual use of external data from infrastructure or V2V sources, and responses to system/driver response failures.

Proposal to amend document AECS-02-02/Rev.2, including paragraph 6 of Part I from the proposal by CLEPA. This proposal aims to clarify the approval process of a type of AECD according to Part I and the installation in a vehicle according to Part II where mutual (overlapping) functions/verifications are part of the approval to either Part I ór Part II. This proposal includes the verification ‘AECD information and warning signal’ only. The same should apply for other possible verifications like ‘emergency call control assessment‘ after the group made a final decision what verifications to include in which Part(s).

Draft justifications for eventual inclusion in the amendment proposal submitted to the GRSP.

Proposal to clarify the wording concerning the prohibition on the obstruction of the driver’s view of the monitor and the definition of the monitor size.

The present working document incorporates vehicles with conventional propulsion. To adopt all current propulsion systems, like EV’s, the text is modified accordingly by including a reference to the “vehicle master control switch” in addition to the conventional ignition switch.

Presentation of the benefits envisioned by the Netherlands from the use of AAA tyres.

Proposal to correct the Annex 7, paragraph 3.1. “Determination of the anchor point for each gear ratio” and a calculation symbol in paragraph 3.2.1 “Calculation of the slope of the regression line for each gear”.

At the GRB meeting in January 2015 the Netherlands introduced a justification and proposal for future tyre noise limits (document GRB-61-03). During the discussion, it was suggested to investigate whether difference in performance existed between Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) tyres and replacement tyres, noting that the transitional provisions in EC/661/2009 take into account the earlier introduction of noise limits of OEM tyres mounted on new vehicle types. Therefore, the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment asked M+P to investigate the statistics of tyre noise label values in OEM tyres in more detail.

Proposal to increase the stringency of tyre noise limits from 1 November 2020.

Presentation in support of the proposal to increase the stringency of tyre noise limits from 1 November 2020.

Paper describing the development and application of a method for determining benefits of tyre noise reduction efforts in terms of the number of people impacted.

Presentation on the Dutch-developed methodology for assessing the impact of changes to tyre and vehicle noise standards.

Recently EU-Directive 2013/60 has been introduced in which chapter 5 of EU Directive 97/24 is amended. One of the amendments concerns the introduction of reference fuels E5 (petrol) and B5 (diesel fuel). When stage C in 97/24-5 is being applied for, reference is made to GTR No. 2. In GTR No. 2, however, these reference fuels have not yet been incorporated. Document GRPE-69-02 proposed to incorporate these fuels into GTR No. 2; however, pursuant to comment received from several Contracting Parties, the Netherlands proposes to withdraw the document while retaining the option to revisit the issue in the future.

Status report, including the current state of the draft text, on efforts to reach agreement on the introduction of provisions for electro-hydraulic systems into the test conditions for trailers with electrical braking systems.

Proposal to correct errors and remove inconsistencies in the current regulatory text, including a correction to the formula used in Annex 12, Appendix 4 “Test report on the compatibility of the inertia brake control device, the transmission and the brakes on the trailer”.

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 for corrections to the text and equations.

Proposal to add information reporting requirements for type approval of camera-monitor systems of classes I to IV to the proposal for a Supplement to the 04 series of amendments to UN R46 (document GRSG/2015/2).

Consolidated revised version of UN R46 introducing provisions prepared by the Informal Group on Camera-Monitor Systems (IGCMS-II) to introduce the optional replacement of mirrors of Classes I to IV by camera-monitor systems.

Proposal by the Informal Group on Camera-Monitor Systems (IGCMS-II) to introduce the optional replacement of mirrors of Classes I to IV by camera-monitor systems.

Proposal to correct the numbering of chapter 18 following the introduction of provisions for automatic valves.

Proposal to regulate the direction of discharging the pressure relief devices of CNG containers.

Proposal to align UN Regulation No. 10 with the proposed amendments to Regulation No. 46 (document GRSG/2015/2) to enable the replacement rear-view mirrors by camera-monitor systems. This proposal is also subject to the consent of the Working Party on Lighting and Light-Signalling (GRE).

Proposal to treat camera-monitor systems the same as rear-view mirrors under UN R26 in view of the amendment to UN R46 to enable the replacement of rear-view mirrors by CMS (i.e., document GRSG/2015/2).

Proposal to ensure that all devices for indirect vision, including exterior cameras, are covered by UN R61. This proposal is part of a package of proposals to update various regulations impacted by the proposed amendment to enable the replacement of rear-view mirrors by camera-monitor systems.

Proposal to adapt UN R79 in line with the proposed addition of camera-monitor systems to UN R46 (indirect vision). UN R79 refers to external mirrors in test procedures involving the vehicle turning circle. This proposal replaces the reference to mirrors with a broader reference to “indirect vision devices” that includes CMS.

Proposal to align UN R94 with the draft amendment to add camera-monitor systems to UN R46 (i.e., document GRSG/2015/2). Under UN R94, the measurement for the 40% overlap between the vehicle and crash barrier excludes external rear-view mirrors. This proposal would extend the same treatment where the mirror has been replaced by an exterior camera.

UN R107 includes a provision to prevent a folding seat used by the crew from obstructing the view of the exterior rear-view mirror. In light of the proposed amendment to introduce camera-monitor systems into UN R46 (indirect vision), this proposal would extend the same treatment to CMS used in the place of rear view mirrors.

Proposal to improve the belt routing and positioning of the universal child restraint system seat fixture during testing.

Proposal for Supplement 7 to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 14 and for Supplement 6 to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 16 to clarify the texts related to the recently expanded height requirements for the effective upper belt anchorage (Supplement 4 to the 07 series of amendments to Regulation No. 14).

Proposal to clarify the installation provisions for “general use” safety-belts (Annex 1B, item 12).

Proposal to expand the application area of the energy absorption criteria for seating in order to facilitate the optimization of seat-belt load limiters by allowing limited occupant contact with these seat areas.
