Status report on the development of a global technical regulation to address high voltage electrical safety in electric vehicles and their components (such as recharging inlets and rechargeable electric energy storage systems (REESS)). The draft regulation especially concerns flammable electrolytes and covers both in-use and post-crash environments.

The purpose of this paper is to provide a framework through which the delegates to the World Forum for the Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) and other interested stakeholders can examine the experience with the 1998 Global Agreement and agree on ideas and processes for improvement in its implementation.

US comments on child restraint systems based upon NHTSA’s National Child Restraint Use Special Study (NCRUSS), including recommendations on their installation, use, and testing thresholds.

At the 8th EVS GTR IWG meeting in Changchun, members of EVS Task Force 1 continued to discuss proposed requirements and test procedures (EVS-08-17) to address the safety performance of EVs during in-use in events of flooding and vehicle washing. As an action item, members were requested to provide comments on the overall proposal, specifically, water depth (10cm) and vehicle speed (20 km/h) for the drive test. The US believes that a 10 cm water depth test presents a reasonable and likely scenario for testing electric vehicle performance.
