Submission from Belgium and Germany to solve errors in the current text of the Regulation concerning the anchorage angles (α1 and α2) and the seating reference point (R-point).

Submmission aimed at resolving errors in the current text of the UN Regulation concerning the anchorage angles (α1 and α2) and the seating reference point (R-point).

French-language notification of authority and testing services for approvals under UN Regulations 127 and 128.

Proposal to set mandatory requirements for odometers installed in vehicles in order to address odometer use in vehicle maintenance and inspections and to combat odometer fraud in sales of used cars.

Text from Belgium to amend the annex on additional safety prescriptions for trolleybuses in order to update these with regard to the respective electrical standards.

Proposal to amend Annex 12 of the regulation to align its safety prescriptions for trolley buses with current electrical standards.

Proposal to amend Annex 12 of the regulation to align its safety prescriptions for trolley buses with current electrical standards.

Text originally prepared by Belgium to propose amendments to Regulation No. 107 to align the additional safety prescriptions for trolleybuses (Annex 12) with the corresponding electrical standards (see document GRSG/2013/16). During discussion in the October 2013 session of GRSG, some Contracting Parties felt that the prescriptions for electromagnetic compatibility of trolleybuses belong in Regulation No. 10. So these prescriptions are taken out of the amended proposal (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/19) and are proposed here for consideration by GRE for further action.

Proposal to include odometers within the scope of Regulation No. 39 (as an alternative to the proposal in document GRSG-104-14 to develop a new regulation on the installation and performance of odometers).

Note to open a discussion concerning the gas-cylinder periodic inspection requirements of Annex 3 of UN R110.

Presentation in support of the proposal to include odometer provisions in UN R39, including a review of references to odometers across other UN Regulations.

Proposal to amend the 1968 Vienna Convention to allow for the use of assistance and/or autonomous systems that control vehicle behavior(s) in place of the driver (which could be viewed to conflict with the Convention requirement that drivers always be able to control their vehicles).

Proposal to clarify the provisions for the periodic inspection of pressure relief valves.

Proposal to include odometers within the scope of Regulation No. 39.

Proposal to align the requirements of UN Regulation No. 10 with regard to electromagnetic compatibility of trolleybuses with the electrical standards in Annex 12 to UN Regulation No. 107.

Proposal to insert performance requirements for the installation of odometers on vehicles.

Document submitted to the UN Road Safety Forum (WP.1) describing and analyzing the role of the driver in a vehicle with a more advanced level of automation.

Informal document No. 2 as submitted to the 70th session of WP.1.

Proposed changes to the working draft text ACSF-04-20.

Proposal to transfer electrical safety provisions for trolleybuses (Annex 12) from UN R107 to UN R100. In 2006, the provisions of UN R36, UN R52, and UN R107 were merged through the 02 series of amendments to UN R107. In 2015, Annex 12 of UN R107 was amended to align additional safety prescriptions for electrical safety of trolleybuses with the corresponding electrical standards. However, UN R100 has evolved beyond its initial focus on battery electric vehicles and currently presents a more appropriate location for maintaining the trolleybus electrical safety provision of Annex 12. For the provisions of Annex 1 – Part 1 – Appendices 1, 2 and 3, where a list of characteristics of a trolleybus was added apart from the special environmental conditions, a reference will be inserted to Annex 6 – Part 1 and Annex 7 of UN Regulation No. 100. A corresponding proposal for amendments will be submitted as an official document to the Working Party on Passive Safety.

Proposal to transfer provisions for electrical safety of trolleybuses from UN Regulation No. 107 (M2 and M3 vehicles) to UN Regulation No. 100 (Electric Power Trained Vehicles). This proposal seeks to clarify the scope of the two Regulations with regard to the electrical safety of trolleybuses.

The proposal by Belgium GRSG/2016/05 aimed at removing the amended additional safety prescriptions for trolleybuses from annex 12 of UN Regulation No. 107 for the Construction of M2 and M3 vehicles (R107), and inserting them into UN Regulation No. 100 on Electric Powertrain Vehicles (R100), see proposal GRSP/2016/07. This document explains how the scope and technical provisions for trolleybuses of R100 and R107 are complementary, but not yet fully compatible.

Proposal to modify the frequency of conformity of production inspections and random sampling. Absent ISO 9002 certification, inspections would change from “3 times a year” to “1 time a year” (i.e. annual). For ISO 9002-accredited facilities, the amendment would offer authorities flexibility for inspections every 1-2 years depending upon the results of previous inspections.

Proposal to lower the minimum mass requirement for an articulated vehicle of Class I having four or more axles of which two are steering axles. Manufacturers of double-articulated vehicles with four or more axles face serious difficulties in fulfilling the requirement for the front steering axle where “the mass corresponding to the load on the front axle or group of axles shall not be less than the percentage of the mass of the vehicle” according to a table in the regulation.
