Proposal to extend the scope of the Regulation to all kinds of power train systems above a certain working voltage level.

Text as adopted by the Working Party on Passive Safety (GRSP) at its 52nd session proposing requirements for vehicles with automatically activated door locking systems to allow for automatically unlocking systems to enable exit post-crash.

Text adopted by the GRSP to correct the text for electric vehicles in UN R94, replacing the word “power train” with “occupants” in the referenced rules, ‘registration’ with ‘approval’ in transition provisions in accordance with WP.29 guidelines, and correcting use of the acronym “RESS” to “REESS”.

Proposal to provide further requirements for electric vehicles and to clarify the definition of “exposed conductive parts”.

Proposals as approved by the GRSP:

1) to require, in cases where a vehicle has no sun visor or roof, that the airbag warning label be positioned where it is clearly visible at all times, and

2) to introduce provisions for coupling systems used in charging a Rechargeable Energy Storage System (REESS).

Proposal to align UN R94 with the draft amendment to add camera-monitor systems to UN R46 (i.e., document WP.29/2015/84). Under UN R94, the measurement for the 40% overlap between the vehicle and crash barrier excludes external rear-view mirrors. This proposal would extend the same treatment where the mirror has been replaced by an exterior camera.

Proposal to amend the regulation frontal impacts with a view towards the establishment of a new regulation on frontal impact testing for occupant restraint systems (full width rigid barrier test). The proposal increases the thorax compression criterion (ThCC) stringency to 42 mm (from 50 mm), clarifies vehicle width definition, and amends REESS acronym definition.

GRSP proposal to align requirements for post-crash electrical safety with UN GTR 20, to align the definition of REESS with UN R100, and clarify the transitional provisions.

Proposal from GRSP to clarify the definition of “specific voltage condition” (aligning UN Regulations Nos. 94, 95, 137 and 153).

Proposal to reinsert text allowing tolerances on the vehicle mass and simplified testing that was deleted by the 02 series of amendments.

Proposal to introduce requirements for the post-crash safety of hydrogen-fuelled vehicles based on the Amendment 1 to UN GTR No. 13 (Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Vehicles).

Proposal to update references to the three-dimensional “H” point measurement and calibration procedure pursuant to the transposition of these provisions from the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (RE3) to Mutual Resolution No. 1.

Text from Germany on behalf of the GRSP AVRS task force to enable the application of the regulation to vehicles equipped with an Automated Driving System.
