The newly introduced systems to detect excessive temperatures and/or smoke enable the driver to act immediately to ensure the safety of the passengers. This implies the possibility of braking, stopping, or some other response which could impact other road users. Therefore, this proposal would require the hazard warning lights to be activated (which will require consideration by the WP.29 Working Party on Lighting and Light-signalling Equipment). The proposal also proposes transitional provisions for the implementation of the new requirements.

Presentation of an assessment of 2D vs. 3D impactor positioning methods.

Proposal revising an initial German proposal, with the new suggested requirements under 6.3.1.1, to reduce the risks of a person being unintentionally “full locked” inside a locked vehicle, taking into account the anti-theft benefits of fully locking door systems.

Proposal revising an initial German proposal to reduce the risk of a person being unintentionally locked inside a vehicle by an anti-theft system. This proposal would either prohibit systems that could lock an occupant inside a vehicle (by requiring an occupant detection capability) or require warning systems (such as a horn) that can be activated from inside the vehicle even when it is fully locked.

Proposal to require that a horn or other acoustic signalling system can be activated from within a parked vehicle when in the fully locked mode and to set the transition period through 1 September 2016 for meeting the new requirement.

Correction to include provisions for the exemption of certain headrests of M₂ and M₃ vehicles approved according to UN R80.

Proposal to clarify the requirements of UN R100 specified under paragraph 5.1.1. This paragraph describes the general requirements for the protection of all high voltage parts, including the obligation that such protection against live parts cannot be opened without the use of tools. If connectors can be opened without use of tools or if they do not satisfy the IPXXD/IPXXB protection limits, the provisions of 5.1.1.3 have to be met.

Proposal to amend the draft 01 series of amendments (document WP.29/2014/38 pending for the June 2014 WP.29 session) to bring its “commencement date” and validity-of-approvals provisions into line with the recommendations for the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval system (i.e., to set the effective date to 1 September 2018 and confirm the validity of earlier approvals after the introduction of the 01 series of amendments).

Proposal to amend the draft 01 series of amendments (document WP.29/2014/38 pending for the June 2014 WP.29 session) to bring its “commencement date” and validity-of-approvals provisions into line with the recommendations for the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval system (i.e., to set the effective date to 1 September 2018 and confirm the validity of earlier approvals after the introduction of the 01 series of amendments).

Draft text transposing the provisions of GTR No. 13 into a new UN Regulation for the type approval of hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles with regard to safety performance. This text supersedes document GRSP/2013/22 and reflects the results of informal discussions among the European Commission, Japan and OICA.

Draft text transposing the provisions of GTR No. 13 into a new UN Regulation for the type approval of hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles with regard to safety performance. This text supersedes document GRSP/2013/22, incorporates changes requested by Korea (document GRSP-55-23) and reflects the results comments received during the 55th GRSP session.

Draft text for the transposition of GTR No. 13 on hydrogen and fuel-cell vehicle safety into a new UN Regulation under the 1958 Agreement. This version incorporates comments received by GRSP at its 55th session and informal document GRSP-55-23 from the expert of Rep. of Korea.

The current text of UN R14 requires the installation of two ISOFIX anchorages in a vehicle. Vehicles with only one seat row are exempted from this requirement. This proposal refines the previous German proposal to introduce provisions for at least one set of ISOFIX anchorages in vehicles having only one seat row or having several seat rows with only one seat per row (document GRSP-53-11) which modified the proposal for Supplement 6 to the 07 series of amendments (document GRSP/2013/15).

Slide illustrating vehicle types intended to be exempted from the ISOFIX requirements of UN R14 under the proposed classification according to R-point measurement.

Presentation on child restraint fixtures (CRF) and their relationship with in-vehicle safety systems, arguing that children benefit from certain CRF configurations that position the occupant for optimal benefit of seat belts or for eventual interaction with a side/curtain airbag.

OICA presentation arguing for chest deflection threshold of 42 mm for the 5th Female H-III dummy.

Proposal to remove the specification of “±0.01 m/sec” for the accuracy of the velocity measurement in Annex 5, Paragraph 3.2.1. This would leave in place the specification to use the measurement procedure if ISO 3784:1976 which specifies an accuracy of ±1 %.

In June 2014, WP.29 returned a proposal (document WP.29/2014/34) to introduce provisions for ISOFIX positions in convertibles and vehicles with one seating position per row due to concerns over clarity. Given the complexity of this topic, OICA has decided to address specific elements separately. This proposal addresses the use of top tethers in child restraint systems and proposes to retain the “i-size” term and definition endorsed by GRSP.

The scope of the new Global Technical Regulation on Pole Side Impact includes vehicles of category N1 (limited to GVM < 3.5 t) and vehicles of category M1 (without mass limit). However, the vehicle fleet includes a small number of M1 vehicles with a GVW > 3.5t which are based on vehicles of category N2, N3, M2 or M3. Therefore, OICA proposes to limit the scope of the GTR to both M1 and N1 vehicles under 3.5 t maximum vehicle mass in order to alleviate burdens on manufacturers producing M1 variants based on N2, N3, M2, or M3 vehicles.

Further refinements to the proposed new regulation on frontal impact protection in relation to occupant restraint systems (document GRSP/2014/10 amended by doument GRSP/2014/23) prepared by the Informal Group on Frontal Impact. These amendments concern provisions on the position of the front passenger.

Proposal to introduce provisions concerning universal child booster seating positions.

Further refinements to UN R94 frontal impact regulation in light of the new regulation on frontal impacts and occupant restraint systems currently pending approval.

Proposal to introduce provisions concerning universal child booster seating positions with the amendments shown within the text of the regulation, incorporating the amendments proposed in document GRSP/2014/14.

Proposal to exclude “bucket seats” from the ISOFIX requirements as well as vehicles with only one seating position (by applying the regulation only to vehicles with more than one seating position). The proposal also exempts certain vehicle/seating configurations from ISOFIX requirements, addressing cases where the vehicle design and purpose mitigate against the use of such child restraints and ISOFIX systems.

UN R17, R25 and R80 address head restraints for various categories of vehicles. In order to prevent redundant application of these regulations, this amendment clarifies that head restraints approved under UN R17 would be exempted from the requirements of UN R25 and that UN R25 does not apply to coach and bus seats approved under UN R80.

Draft text for the transposition of GTR No. 13 on hydrogen and fuel-cell vehicle safety into a new UN Regulation under the 1958 Agreement. Part 1 of Annex 1 uses the numbering system prepared for the corresponding annexes of the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA) regulation (UN R0) currently under development.

Presentation to explain OICA and CLEPA view that lane-keeping assist systems are not presently an appropriate subject for the development of a new regulation.

Revised draft proposal to amend Schedule 7 for the procedure to allow for the exemption of new technologies from relevant existing regulatory requirements in cases where those existing requirements present incompatible, inapplicable, and/or unwarranted burdens.

Updated revised draft proposal to amend Schedule 7 for the procedure to allow for the exemption of new technologies from relevant existing regulatory requirements in cases where those existing requirements present incompatible, inapplicable, and/or unwarranted burdens.

Draft text for Revision 2 to the “General Guidelines for UN regulatory procedures and transitional provisions in UN regulations” (Document WP.29/1044).

Presentation on the proposed procedures for updating UN R0. This regulation would govern the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval process and as such, would need to be updated (annually under the proposal) in line with changes to the various component or system level UN Regulations that are included within the scope of the whole vehicle type approval.

OICA-proposed revisions to the draft Q&A document intended to help explain the international whole vehicle type approval system and the proposed “UN Regulation No. 0” (document SGR0-08-06).

Revisions to the proposed paragraphs 11, 12, and 13 concerning, respectively, Technical Services, procedures for amending the draft regulation on international whole vehicle type approvals, and provisions for Contracting Party acceptance of approvals. The document also addresses Annex 2 on approval markings and Annex 4 on limited whole vehicle approvals (L-IWVTA).

The proposed text is submitted for insertion into the draft Regulation (SGR0-11-03) in response to the action items noted in document SGR0-11-01.

Proposal for revised guidelines and procedures for UN Regulations pursuant to the development of the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval system, including a procedure for exemptions of new technologies from current UN Regulation requirements and the procedure for updating the IWVTA regulation (proposed UN R0).

OICA strongly supports the German proposal and seeks clarification of certain points.

OICA proposal for the “Information document for the purpose of IWVTA” that retains in the document only those entries that are essential for the identification of a vehicle type and its variants or describe important properties of the whole vehicle. This proposal also deletes entries not relevant for category M1 vehicles.
