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.

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.

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.

UN R90 unintentionally omits the bedding procedure for the brake drum high load test for M2, M3, N2 and N3 vehicles. CLEPA proposes using the same bedding procedure as already adopted for the thermal fatigue test for such vehicles and for the high load tests for trailers.

The use of test reports in Regulation No.13 was first introduced in Annex 11 of UN R13 in 1984. CLEPA proposes this amendment to support the proposal to permit the use of an Annex 19 test report as an alternative method in meeting the vehicle stability function requirements as detailed in Annex 21.

Denmark submitted document GRRF-71-19 (subsequently integrated into GRRF/2012/12) proposing to narrow the compatibility bands for control line pressure versus brake rate. This document challenges the proposed changes as effectively mandating electronic braking and imposing unwarranted costs.

Denmark submitted Document GRRF-71-18 (subsequently integrated into GRRF/2012/12) proposing to narrow the limits for coupling force control systems which are allowed to override the compatibility bands. This document argues against the proposed changes.

Denmark submitted GRRF-71-19 (subsequently in GRRF/2012/12) proposing a new paragraph to require a test point between the coupling head and the trailer relay emergency valve. This document argues that the requirement is already implicit within UN R13 and therefore, that the change is unnecessary.

This document addresses the ramifications of introducing the proposals outlined in GRRF-72-07 (superceded by GRRF-72-07/Rev.1) specifically associated with semi-trailers.

The current Euro 6 light duty vehicle emission limits for total hydrocarbons (THC)
include the methane fraction as well as non-methane hydrocarbon emissions. When the
Euro 5/6 co-decision proposal was negotiated, an NMHC limit value was added but the
THC limit was unchanged and is too restrictive.
