GRSP/2012/11 proposes to correct text for electric vehicles in UN Regulation Nos. 12, 94, 95 and 100, replacing the word “power train” with “occupants” in the referenced rules. This document replaces ‘registration’ with ‘approval’ in transition provisions in accordance with WP.29 guidelines.

Document GRSP/2012/7 proposes adapt the test procedures of UN R94 to take into account vehicles equipped with automatically activated door locking systems. This OICA proposal would allow for ‘mixed configuration’ of both locked and unlocked doors during testing.

Document GRSP/2012/7 proposes adapt the test procedures of UN R94 to take into account vehicles equipped with automatically activated door locking systems. This OICA proposal, revised pursuant to GRSP-51 input, would allow for ‘mixed configuration’ of both locked and unlocked doors during testing.

Proposal from the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) to include requirements for automatic door locking systems. This OICA proposal would allow for ‘mixed configuration’ of both locked and unlocked doors during testing.

Proposal to clarify that coupling systems of the battery-charging system (i.e., rechargeable energy storage system, REESS) which are not energized during driving need not meet the requirements established for systems designed to be energized during driving (and thus significant in case of accident).

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

As a counterproposal to document GRSP/2017/27 submitted by the EC, OICA suggests to group all the airbag warning requirements in one single UN Regulation (i.e. UN R16); this would avoid future administrative burden when these may need adaptation. Another solution could be to simply refer, in UN R94 and UN R137, to the label defined in UN R16; OICA suggests that GRSP discusses the most suitable approach.

In addition, OICA agrees with the EC proposal to better define the required label, in order to avoid potential misinterpretations. However, when it comes to the printing of the user information in a multitude of languages, OICA considers this is an unnecessary burden, with no benefit to the user. User manuals are placed in the vehicles at the point of sale and therefore in the local language(s); in the not so frequent cases whereby a vehicle, during its lifetime, ends up in a different country/language, the user will always be able to obtain the manual in his own language, if he so asks. OICA consequently proposes not to amend the current requirements on the issue of languages.

Alternative proposal to GRSP/2017/27 submitted by the EC to clarify and improve airbag warning label requirements and to group these provisions under UN R16 in order to avoid the need to update multiple regulations in case of changes. OICA would not, however, add provisions concerning language variations (these are handled at the point of sale).

Proposal to remove vehicle categories M1 and N1 from the scope of the regulation given coverage of fire risks under UN R94, R95, and R153.
