The agenda includes installation of belted child restraint systems, including seat belt minimum length feedback and definition of minimum effective belt length, installation of ISOFIX child restraint systems, amendments to UN R107, ISO pictogram wording revision and dimensions, clarification of the table for M₁ vehicles, introduction of seat belt length requirements for belted child restraint systems on M₂ and M₃ vehicles, amendments to UN R145, ISOFIX force reduction, and proposals to improve ISOFIX definitions across UN Regulations.

Initial working draft text to amend UN R107 by inserting a new definition 2.49 for Child Restraint System and adding paragraph 7.7.8.7 to Annex 3 establishing requirements for Child Restraint Systems in vehicles of category M₂ and M₃. Requirements include fitting pictograms to ISOFIX-seating positions meeting UN R145 and UN R173, fitting pictograms to i-Size-seating positions meeting those same regulations, and prohibiting rearward-facing CRS in rearward-facing passenger seats with appropriate pictograms. Three new pictograms are added to Annex 4.

Proposed pictograms for CRS installation under UN R107 specify the following dimensions: ISOFIX pictograms with diameter 65 mm, i-Size pictograms with lateral size 65 mm, and RWF CRS in RWF adult seats pictograms with diameter 65 mm.

Proposal to introduce new paragraphs addressing vehicles of category X and vehicles with manual mode operating above 6 km/h equipped with Automated Driving System Feature of Type 2 (ADSF-2).

Proposal to address electronic breaking devices for emergency windows and escape hatches and emergency control.

Proposal to allow an alternative positioning and spacing of escape hatches on buses of Classes A and B to address limitations for shorter vehicles.

Text is prepared by the expert from Spain to amend the provisions concerning the approval of category M2 or M3 vehicles with regard to their general construction. The aim is to guarantee that the vehicle remains stopped whilst the lifts or the ramps are being used.

For escape hatches on buses of Classes A and B, proposal to allow a maximum length of 1600 mm equally spaced to cover the shortest vehicles, so the allowed space should be the maximum of either the third of the length or 1600 mm. This proposal will not affect the positioning requirements for any mid-sized and larger buses.

Presentation on new national legislation that defines a new vehicle category, “urban shuttle”. The legislation skirts the current M category definitions by defining an urban shuttle as having a total capacity to carry between nine and 16 passengers plus a driver with seating for 4-5 passengers. As such, France intends to propose national type approvals for such vehicles with a view to address driverless versions in future legislation.

Comparison table following the 7th BMFE informal group session.

Revised document following discussion during the 7th BMFE informal group session.

Proposal to refine the provisions on the number and position of emergency exits of vehicles of Classes A and B. The transition from 05-series to 06-series of amendments is based on the final proposal of the Informal Group for Service Doors, Windows, and Emergency Exits (SDWEE) adopted by GRSG as document GRSG/2012/15. One of the consequences of the new wording is that, if one escape hatch is fitted, it must be positioned in the middle third of the passenger compartment. For Class A and B vehicles with sometimes short passenger compartments (< 3 m), this can be problematic because the middle third position can overlap with the position of the service door, close to which lateral roof reinforcements are necessary to provide structural stability and meet provisions of UN R66. Given that the exact position on shorter vehicles is of lower relevance than for long compartments, this proposal would provide latitude on the exact placement for Class A and B vehicles.
