Proposal to clarify the testing method for resistance to high temperature in order to address issues raised with testing at high altitudes. CLEPA proposes to amend the wording of paragraph 5.1. to clarify how to proceed with a test in boiling water, which is permitted for safety glazing with both external surfaces of inorganic material. The tolerance of +0 °C / -2 °C is taken from ISO 3917, high temperature test. The temperature of boiling water can be determined with the required accuracy easily.

Proposal to define a reduced vision zone I for vehicles of categories M and N other than M₁.

Proposal to amend Figure 2a of Annex 21 to better reflect the meaning of paragraph 2.4.2.2. of Annex 21, mainly to clarify the lateral limits of any opaque obscuration in this area.

Proposal to add a missing footnote concerning the exemptions for heaters located outside the passenger compartment using water as a transfer medium and to clarify that it is not necessary to apply Annex 4 for the heat pump because the heat transfer fluid does not contain polluting air.

Proposal to introduce options for fulfilling the marking requirements of E-marking to avoid redundancy with other UN Regulations and to permit a smaller E-marking (as currently permitted under UN R67 and R158).

Proposal to introduce options for fulfilling marking requirements in cases where more than one UN Regulation applies, including the use of smaller E-markings especially for small components.

Proposal to amend para. 8.2.1.1. to replace “Optional distortion” with “Optical distortion” in the table of tests for windscreens and glass panes. The amendment corrects the title of the optical distortion test listed in the table.

Proposal to amend UN R159:

• Insert new title establishing a three-part regulatory structure for Moving Off Information Systems approvals,
• amend and renumber paragraphs throughout to reorganize content into Part I (vehicles regarding MOIS), Part II (vehicles regarding MOIS installation of approved Component or Separate Technical Unit), and Part III (MOIS Component or Separate Technical Unit),
• insert new paragraphs defining approval types and vehicle/component/STU classifications,
• amend definitions to clarify MOIS Component and Separate Technical Unit,
• establish permitted variations and representative test setup requirements,
• insert new Part II specifications and test procedures for installed approved-type systems,
• insert new Part III comprehensive specifications and test procedures for Component and STU covering detection, control, human-machine interface, automatic deactivation, information signals, collision warnings, and failure warnings,
• insert new Part III test procedures including static crossing tests, longitudinal stopping and moving-off cyclist tests, failure detection and automatic deactivation tests,
• insert new Annexes 2–7 providing communication and information documents for vehicle and component/STU approvals,
• renumber existing Annexes to 8 and 9,
• introduce approval mark provisions for components and STUs.

CLEPA presentation asserting that inflatable car seat systems being approved under UN R44 fail to comply with the regulation’s requirements because the lap portion of the belt intrudes into the abdomen of the dummy, leading to a submarining situation.

The current CRS label describes the dangers of using a child restraint system with an active front seat passenger airbag and was designed to correspond with the in-vehicle label of UN R94. Since the latter has been changed into a style without text, this proposal similarly revises the CRS version.

Revision of Table 1 of the new draft regulation on child restraint systems to replace the bench foam of UN R44 with the foam of the New Programme for the Assessment of Child restraint Systems (NPACS) used during the regulation’s evaluation phase and adopted by the informal group.

Presentation detailing non-compliance issues identified in child seat belt guides and inflatable child seat systems.

Proposal to increase the strap sensitivity to a range of up to 3.0g to allow the
installation of belt systems less likely to lock up when pulling out the strap while buckling up.

Review of open issues concerning ISOFIX child restraint systems.

Proposal to improve the reproducibility of the luggage impact test described in annex 9 of UN Regulation No. 17.

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 define the moment of intertia in the luggage-impact test as “0.3 ± 0.05 kgm² (around all 3 principal axis of inertia of the luggage blocks)”. UN R17 presently lacks such a definition, resulting in variations in trajectory and behavior of the luggage cubes before and after impact.

Proposal to align UN R44 with UN R129 with respect to the references to European standard EN 71:2009 (which specifies safety requirements for toys, especially with regard to chemical composition, flammability, and other mechanical and physical properties).

Presentation on the main principles behind the new enhanced child restraint systems provisions:

1. Modern dummy and criteria
2. Classification based upon child size
3. Integral universal ISOFIX
4. Side-impact protection
5. Mandatory rear-facing up to 15 months
6. improved compatibility

Revised CLEPA proposal to clarify dynamic testing, rear seat system, advanced restraint system approval, and transitional provisions. This proposal supersedes document GRSP/2014/27.

Fact sheet on UN R129 including comparison with UN R44.

Proposal to amend the toxicity and flammability declarations via references to EN71 (European safety standards).

Proposal to modify the reference to Annex 14 on simplified test methods to refer to “the use of a reference chest speed measured at 300 mm forward displacement carried out in a test”.

Proposal to add missing Integral fixtures for Regulation 129. Fuller explanation can be found in document GRSP-57-09.

Proposal to add missing Integral fixtures for Regulation No. 129. Fuller explanation can be found in document GRSP-57-09.

Proposal to allow the installation of different light colours on seat-belt buckles to improve visibility. The proposal also addresses the alignment of ambient light designs in modern cars with the functional element of an occupant protection device to support its visual exposition in the vehicle compartment. This document supersedes GRSP/2015/15.

Request for clarification concerning head restraint testing configurations.
