Proposal to update the text of UN R100, particularly in line with GTR 20 on electric vehicle safety.

30. The experts from the Netherlands and OICA introduced GRSP-65-33-Rev.1 (superseding ECE/TRANS/WP.297GRSP/2019/3) which proposed functional safety requirements that focused on other categories of vehicles other than M₁. The expert from the United States of America reminded GRSP that harmonization shall be kept when UN GTR No. 20 was transposed into UN Regulation No. 100. GRSP agreed to distribute GRSP-65-33-Rev.1 with an official symbol to the December 2019 session of GRSP, awaiting a proposal of amendments that align UN Regulation No. 100 to UN GTR No. 20.

31. The expert from the Russian Federation introduced GRSP-65-07, proposing further improvement of functional safety requirements. The expert from Japan suggested that this extensive revision of safety requirements should be handed over to the IWG on UN GTR No. 20, Phase 2 to be compared or aligned with their ongoing work on the UN GTR. GRSP agreed with the proposal of Japan and to refer it to IWG UN GTR No. 20, Phase 2 and, to resume discussion at its December 2019 session.

Proposal to clarify that the warning signal to alert a driver of an M₂ or M₃ vehicle with more than 22 seating positions if the vehicle is in active-driving-possible mode when the driver leaves the seat shall be activated upon leaving the seat, not the vehicle.

Proposal to explicitly state that functional safety requirements apply to categories of vehicles beyond M₁ through the addition of the following text marked in bold:

When leaving the vehicle, the driver shall be informed by a signal (e.g. optical or audible signal) if the vehicleis still in the active driving possible mode. Moreover, in case of vehicles of category M₂ and M₃, such signal shall already be given when leaving the driver seat.
