Proposal to align UN R105 with provisions adopted by the Working Party on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (WP.15) under the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR), edition 2019.

45. GRSG noted that the adopted proposal to align UN Regulation No. 105 (ADR vehicles) with the new edition 2019 of European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) was listed on the agenda of the forthcoming WP.29 session of November 2018 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2018/126). GRSG agreed to remove this item from the agenda of the next session.

114. The Chair of GRSG presented proposals on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2018/123 to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2018/126 under agenda items 4.7.4 to 4.7.7, to amend UN Regulations Nos. 46, 67, 105 and 110. The World Forum recommended their submission to AC.1 for voting.

Proposal to align UN R105 with provisions adopted by the Working Party on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (WP.15) under the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR), edition 2019.

54. The expert from OICA introduced GRSG-114-31 to align the text of UN Regulation No. 105 (ADR vehicles) with that of the new provisions of the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR), edition 2019, adopted by the Working Party on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (WP.15).

55. GRSG adopted the proposed text as reproduced below and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1, for consideration at their November 2018 sessions, as draft Supplement 1 to the 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 105, subject to a final review by GRSG at its October 2018 session.

Paragraph 5.1.1.2.1., amend to read:

Proposal prepared by the UNECE secretariat to align the provisions of UN Regulation No. 105 with those of the new 2017 edition of the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR).

61. GRSG noted the endorsement by the Working Party on the Transport of Dangerous Goods at its May 2016 session of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2016/90 (based on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2016/13) to align the provisions of UN Regulation No. 105 with those of the new 2017 edition of the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). GRSG reconfirmed its adoption and submission to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their November 2016 sessions, as draft 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 105.

Proposed corrections to the original proposal to align UN R105 with ADR 2017.

29. GRSG noted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2016/13 (tabled by the secretariat) to align the provisions of UN Regulation No. 105 with those of the new 2017 edition of the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). The expert from the Netherlands presented GRSG-110-07 proposing some further corrections to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2016/13.

30. GRSG adopted the proposal as reproduced in Annex III to this report and requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their November 2016 sessions, as draft 06 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 105, subject to a final review by the Working Party on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (WP.15) at its May 2016 session and GRSG at its next session in October 2016. (Note by the secretariat: WP.15 endorsed the proposed amendments.)

Reference prepared by the WP.29 secretariat

28. [The GRPE Chair] announced that the IWG on Vehicle Propulsion System Definitions (VPSD) would submit a formal proposal for a new Mutual Resolution on Vehicle Powertrain Definitions for the June 2015 session of GRPE.

29. He introduced the informal documents, which list the acronyms and abbreviations used in UN Regulations (WP.29-165-17) and highlighted the problem of using the acronym ‘RESS’ to describe both the ‘Non-original Replacement Exhaust Silencer System’ and the ‘Non-original Replacement Exhaust System and Rechargeable Energy Storage System’ (WP.29-165-16). The World Forum endorsed the content of document WP.29-165-16 and referred the choice to its subsidiary bodies. The secretariat added that the document WP.29-165-17 would be made available on the UNECE website and it would continue to be updated on a regular basis.

48. GRE took note of the WP.29 request to complement a list of acronyms/abbreviations (WP.29-165-17) with those used in lighting and light-signalling Regulations. The expert from the Netherlands volunteered to assist the secretariat in this regard. GRE also noted that acronym “REESS” and its definition in Regulation No. 10 might need correction.

36. GRSP noted WP.29-165-17, (permanently appended in its website) gathering acronyms of UN Regulations and UN GTR. GRSP invited all its members to revise the document and provide comments to the secretariat.

23. GRB noted that WP.29, at its March 2015 session, had considered a list of acronyms and abbreviations used in Regulations (WP.29-165-17) and noted that the acronym RESS “Replacement Exhaust Silencing System” is used in Regulation No. 92. However, RESS is widely used as “Rechargeable Energy Storage System”, for example, in Regulations Nos. 10, 12, 94, 95 and 100. For this reason, WP.29 had requested GRB to introduce, in the medium term, an alternative acronym for “Replacement Exhaust Silencing System” in Regulation No. 92 (WP.29-165-16). GRB invited experts and, in particular, IMMA to study this issue and decided to revert to it at the next session.

Proposal to align the text of UN R105 with that adopted by the Working Party on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (WP.15) on the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR), edition 2015, including updated references to ISO and IEC standards.

Proposal to align the text of UN R105 with that adopted by the Working Party on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (WP.15) on the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR), edition 2015.

49. The expert from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/20 aligning the three language versions of UN Regulation No. 105 and updating the references to ISO and IEC standards. GRSG reminded the decision of WP.29 (see para. 31 above) on references in UN Regulations to private standards but adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2014/20. GRSG requested the secretariat to submit it to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their November 2014 sessions, as draft Supplement 2 to the 05 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 105.

[Adopted by AC.1.]

30. The expert from OICA presented ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2011/35 proposing to correct in Regulation No. 105 the references to the international standards. He added that the Working Party on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (WP.15) was expected to consider, at its November 2011 session, a parallel amendment to the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). GRSG adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2011/35 and requested the secretariat to align the references to those adopted by WP.15 (see WP.15 report ECE/TRANS/WP.15/212, paras. 38 and 39, and Annex I).

31. The secretariat was requested to submit the proposal, as amended below, to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their March 2012 session, as draft Supplement 1 to the 05 series of amendments to Regulation No. 105:

Paragraph 5.1.1.6.3., amend to read (including the insertion of a footnote*):

“5.1.1.6.3. Electrical connections

• Electrical connections …… IEC standard 60529 and be designed to prevent accidental disconnection. Connections shall be in conformity with ISO 12098:2004*, ISO 7638:2003* and EN 15207:2006, as appropriate.
