Proposal first presented to the ACSF informal group for a type-approval mechanism to control for updates to software dependent systems.

OICA-CLEPA draft contribution to integrate SWTAN in UN Regulations

Proposal to clarify the wording regarding the manual deactivation of headlamps. National use requirements are not harmonised and prescribe different scenarios for the use of the dipped beam headlamps. In the case where automatic activation is overridden and the headlamp switch is manually put into the ‘OFF’ position, the paragraph provides for a clear driver message that the headlamps are turned off when ambient conditions change to night time driving conditions.

Proposal for provisions concerning headlamp switching.

OICA request for changes to the (as yet unpublished) report of the 7th VGL informal group session.

Proposal to amend the transitional provisions in the draft 03 series of amendments (document WP.29/2017/18) in line with the new guidelines presented for adoption (document WP.29/2017/53) pursuant to Revision 3 to the 1958 Agreement.

Proposal to clarify the concepts of alternatives, modules, and options.

Proposal for transitional provisions for inclusion in UN R79 – (ECE/TRANS/WP29/2017/10, as amended by WP29-171-06). In the interests of moving quickly, the ACSF informal group agreed to submit the initial amendments to UN R79 as a supplement. The proposed Supplement 6 to the 01 series of amendments (documents WP.29/2017/10 and WP.29-171-06) introduce requirements for corrective steering functions (CSF) and A and B1 categories of automatically commanded steering functions (ACSF). This approach included an agreement to ensure that existing approvals and their subsequent extensions won’t be affected by the new technical requirements given that the aim of the supplement is to regulate new systems coming to market, not to impact systems already on the market (see document GRRF-83-21 for complete background).

Proposal to clarify the definition of “Option” as used within Global Technical Regulations and to introduce the concept of “Alternative”. In principle, the proposal seeks to distinguish between protocols for the same requirement that allow divergent compliance thresholds (e.g., differing stringency) and those that provide equivalent assessment of performance through different means. “Option” would refer to the former while “Alternative” would refer to the latter. In the case of one or more options, the proposal would require Contracting Parties to work towards the elimination of the divergent performance requirements.

Proposal concerning extensions of type approvals granted under Revision 2 of the 1958 Agreement following the entry into force of Revision 3. The proposal would specify terms as of the adoption by AC.1 (in lieu of the current proposal to specify terms for Supplements as of their entry into force).
