Proposal to clarify that fully integrated surveillance mirrors may be mounted below 2 metres in cases where they are integrated in a housing including one or more Class II or III mirrors.

Proposal to mandate fire suppression systems on vehicles of Classes I and II as a new 07 series of amendments to UN R107. It is mainly based on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/6/Rev.1, amended as reproduced in GRSG-108-51, submitted to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their November 2015 sessions, as draft Supplement 4 to the 06 series of amendments to Regulation No. 107 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2015/88).

Pursuant to the proposal to enable the use of autonomous compressed natural gas (CNG) heaters for the purpose of heating the engine coolant under UN R110, this proposal would require that the alarm system and fire suppression system (required through paragraph 7.5.1.5. as amended by Supplement 4 to 06 series of amendments) be activated as soon as the heater is in function and even if the engine is not operational.

Proposal to enable the use of autonomous CNG heaters for the heating of engines before the vehicle is in service.

Proposal to introduce provisions to prevent the unintentional opening of side doors with rear-mounted hinges while the vehicle is in motion.

OICA comments and concerns regarding the generally accepted proposal for the definition of the bumper test area for use with the Flex-PLI lower leg impactor. The document raises issues concerning limitations of the test procedure and notes that the new requirements would have a significant impact on bumper design such that the transitional period for implementation should be 2019 to allow for a full vehicle development cycle.

Formal proposal as generally agreed during the 56th GRSP session to revise the procedure for determining the bumper test area under the pedestrian safety regulation. This proposal corrects shortcomings in the current definitions which could lead to a narrower test area than intended (leading to less effective pedestrian protection). This proposal includes a “bumper beam” determination method. The proposed changes also require the form of a new series of amendments (rather than a Supplement) and proposes a transition date of 1 September 2019 (rather than the previous 2017).

The proposal also includes a September 2017 transition date in the event that the GRSP determines that the proposal should be treated as a new series of amendments rather than as a Supplement.

Proposal to simplify the UN R16 consumer handbook information pursuant to discussions on the development of UN R129 on enhanced child restraint systems.

Proposal to introduce provisions for “deployable pedestrian protection systems in the bonnet area” (e.g., active hood systems where a pedestrian impact triggers tge hood release to allow for greater impact absorption and exterior frontal airbags).

Proposal to introduce a definition for “bucket seat” ( front passenger seat having a non-adjustable seat back) which would be exempt from the ISOFIX anchorage requirements. 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.

Proposal to introduce provisions to prevent the unintentional opening of rear doors while the vehicle is in motion.

OICA proposal to amend the parking brake provisions of the 2009 draft proposal to amend Regulation No. 13 to specify uniform requirements for towing trailers and motor vehicles which may tow more than one trailer (road train combinations). This earlier draft proposal has been taken up as the basis for work by the Modular Vehicle Combinations informal group.

OICA input concerning the proposed concept for “versions” of UN Regulations for use within the global system for the mutual recognition of type approvals. A version involves the possibility for issuance of new approvals to previous forms of a given regulation (as opposed to the current system where parties can only issue new approvals to the latest version in force of a regulation).

The International Whole Vehicle Type Approval system under development proposes to allow for the acceptance by Contracting Parties of approvals issued according to versions of a regulation earlier than the latest version in force as well as of approvals issued under some, but not all, regulations that comprise the IWVTA. This document proposes an approach to manage the various configurations of the Limited IWVTA.

Proposals to amend the guidelines concerning the establishment of UN Regulations and transitional provisions (WP.29/1044). Earlier proposals were developed in document SG58-17-04/Rev.1.

Proposals to amend the guidelines concerning the establishment of UN Regulations and transitional provisions (WP.29/1044).

Proposal to amend the paragraph concerning the modification of a vehicle type and extension or modification of approval.

This document proposes to replace an item in the information document for IWVTA. The reason is that the previous entry “maximum hourly output” is not defined anywhere in the UN Regulations whereas the newly proposed item “maximum 30 min. power” is defined in UN R85.

Proposed text to explain procedures for the withdrawal or revocation of a whole vehicle type approval, including differences between a universal (U-IWVTA) approval and a limited (L-IWVTA) approval.

Second proposal from the UN R0 Pre-testing Task Force for validating the international whole vehicle type approval regulation.

Draft informal document for eventual submission to the 72nd GRPE session (January 2016) containing final touches to the formal proposal (GRPE/2016/3) for the phase 1b amendments to the GTR on light vehicle emissions.

Consolidated proposal for the phase 1b amendments to GTR No. 15 including the changes presented in document WLTP-13-05 (marked up for easy reference).
