Proposal for a testing and certification framework for the type approval of in-vehicle automated emergency call devices.

Proposal from the informal group secretary to add classes of emergency call devices to the draft regulation. The three classes proposed would address bandwidth variations (e.g., GSM 900, GSM 1800, UMTS 900, UMTS 2100, UMTS 1700/2100, UMTS 1900) and permit authorities to limit their acceptance of type approvals to particular classes.

OICA proposals for the test and measurement procedures to be undertaken to assess the post-collision (i.e., following the frontal impact or side impact testing under UN Regulations Nos. 94 and 95) functioning of an automatic emergency call device.

Proposals concerning the location of rear-view camera-monitor devices as replacements for conventional exterior rear-view mirrors.

Text prepared by the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers OICA in coordination with the Informal Working Group Camera Monitor Systems (CMS II) to clarify the treatment of camera-monitor systems and similar indirect vision devices under Regulation No. 125. Presently, UN R125 exempts rear view mirrors from the requirements concerning obstructions to the driver’s forward field of vision. This proposal would clarify that rear vision camera-monitor systems benefit from the same exemptions.

Presentation reviewing ISO 16505 treatment of overlays, comparison of UN R46 Annex 12 current proposals with ISO 16505, and a new OICA proposal.

Presentation on current positions for allowed and disallowed configurations of rear-view monitor systems and OICA proposal for regulatory language.

OICA positions regarding the minimum magnification factor, point light sources, gray-scale rendering, and color noise.

Proposed activation/deactivation conditions for camera-monitor systems after engine switch-off.

Proposals concerning the operation of camera-monitor systems following engine shut-off.

OICA questions (How to make it work? Interoperability? Responsability?) concerning text for universal (i.e., independent of vehicle make or model) seats, especially with regard to OEM versus CRS manufacturer responsibilities.

Working draft text to update UN R16 in line with proposed changes to UN Regulation No. 129 on enhanced child restraint systems.

Comparison of language in the hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle safety GTR and the proposed electric vehicle safety GTR.

Proposal to allow horn sound level testing with the engine running and lower the sound pressure level requirement for light-duty vehicles from 93 dB (A) to 90 dB (A).

Proposal (revised from its earlier version) to allow horn sound level testing with the engine running and lower the sound pressure level requirement for light-duty vehicles from 93 dB (A) to 90 dB (A).

Review of vehicle horn regulations across various markets towards assessing the minimum sound level of 87 dB(A) under UN R28.

The current UN R28 test procedures specify voltages that cannot be reached by many vehicles’ internal battery charges alone; however, the provisions can be met if the vehicle is warmed up and run at idle. Therefore, OICA proposes to allow vehicles to be run at idle during the test procedure. OICA also proposes to change the minimum sound level requirement for vehicles of category M and N and motorcycles of a power greater than 7 kW from 93 dB to 87 dB.

Presently, UN R48 requires that reverse lights be switched off when cornering lights are switched off. OICA argues that the simultaneous lightning of both cornering lamps for slow maneuvers in forward motion (e.g., while parking a vehicle) can increase safety by improved illumination of surroundings. Therefore, OICA proposes that cornering lights be allowed to remain on as long as the vehicle speed does not exceed 10 km/h.

OICA comments on document GRE/2014/39 proposing to align UN R48 with the proposal approved by the GRSG to require the automatic activation of hazard warning lights in buses and coaches in the event of excess temperatures in the engine and/or other compartments.

Proposal to allow cornering lights to remain on as long as the vehicle speed does not exceed 10 km/h as a measure to improve visibility during slow manoeuvres.

Recommendations by AECC, CLEPA, EUROMOT, and OICA for minimum quality attributes of market fuels (i.e. gasoline and diesel) to be introduced “in parallel, and at the same time, to complement the level of motor vehicle and non-road mobile machinery pollutant emission standards that a country or region may be considering to introduce”.

Revised recommendations by AECC, CLEPA, EUROMOT, and OICA, pursuant to discussions during the GRPE-68 session, for minimum quality attributes of market fuels (i.e. gasoline and diesel) to be introduced “in parallel, and at the same time, to complement the level of motor vehicle and non-road mobile machinery pollutant emission standards that a country or region may be considering to introduce”.

Proposal to add text omitted during the preparation of working document GRPE/2014/12 (proposal to update requirements in line with the current state of technology and to transpose the latest decisions of the EU regarding OBD threshold limits).

Proposed amendments to the OICA text proposed in order to adapt certain requirements to the current state of technology and to transpose the latest decisions of the EU regarding OBD threshold limits.

Explanation and rationale for the proposal to update OBD threshold limits and align UN R49 with the latest EU OBD requirements.

Revisions to the proposal from OICA to update the on-board diagnostics (OBD) requirements in line with technological progress. This document includes amendments to the 06 and 07 series of amendments, (superseding documents GRPE/2014/8 and GRPE/2014/9 from the January 2014 GRPE session).

This document is a consolidated text that includes the proposals of the GRPE working document GRPE/2014/12, the proposals of the informal document GRPE-69-07/Rev.1 and the comments to these documents as received from the contracting parties during GRPE 69 session.

The purpose of this proposal is to adjust the engine power-measurement calculation for supercharged and turbocharged engines fitted with a system that compensates for ambient conditions such as temperature and altitude. The proposed change would eliminate redundant correction factors that result in inaccurate results for these engine configurations.
