Draft version of the proposed UN Regulation that would transpose Global Technical Regulation No. 14 on pole side-impact protection into the type-approval system of the 1958 Agreement. This draft is presented for informational purposes only pending submission of a final document for consideration by the GRSP.

Draft text transposing GTR No. 14 on pole side impact protection into a UN Regulation under the 1958 Agreement. A proposal for the 01 series of amendments (document GRSP/2014/12) has also been prepared to enable the Contracting Parties applying this Regulation to require a vehicle-to-pole impact speed of 32 ±1 km/h regardless of the “vehicle width”.

Proposal for a 01 series of amendments to the proposed new UN Regulation on the approval of vehicles with regard to their pole side impact performance to enable Contracting Parties applying this new regulation to require a vehicle-to-pole impact speed of 32 ±1 km/h regardless of the “vehicle width”.

Explanation of the steps taken to transpose the provisions of GTR No. 14 into a type-approval UN Regulation on pole side-impact protection, including discussion of the scope, impact side, treatment of hydrogen vehicles, and proposal for a 01 series of amendments that would entail a 26 km/h impact speed for narrow vehicles initially before the amendments would bring narrow vehicles into line with other vehicles at 32 km/h.

Proposal for a new UN Regulation transposing the requirements of the UN Global Technical Regulation on pole side impact (GTR No. 14). This proposal is accompanied by a proposal for a 01 series of amendments (documentGRSP/2014/12) that would enable Contracting Parties applying this Regulation to require a vehicle-to-pole impact speed of 32 ± 1 km/h regardless of the “vehicle width”. This proposal supersedes the earlier version presented in document GRSP/2014/9.

Draft proposal transposing the provisions of the pole side-impact protection Global Technical Regulation into a UN Regulation as approved by the Working Party on Passive Safety (document GRSP/2014/9, as amended by Annex VII to the report of the 55th GRSP session). This proposal is submitted with a request for guidance on the use of references to an ISO Standard (ISO 15830:2013) instead of preparing an Addendum to the Mutual Resolution No. 1 (M.R.1.) for the WorldSID 50th male specifications.

Proposal for an 01 series of amendments to the proposed new UN Regulation on pole side-impact protection (transposing GTR No. 14). This proposal would permit contracting parties to to require a vehicle-to-pole impact speed of 32 ± 1 km/h regardless of the “vehicle width” and is based upon document GRSP/2014/12 and amends the draft PSI regulation as proposed in document WP.29/163/14. The Working Party on Passive Safety approved this proposal provided that Australia would seek guidance on its transitional provisions (since this amendment would, in principle, be adopted at the same time as the original PSI regulation at the November 2014 WP.29 session). This draft incorporates comments from Germany, Japan, and OICA received after the GRSP 55th session.

Explanatory document on the deliberations and outstanding issues concerning the draft UN Regulation and its proposed 01 series of amendments. These issues concern the references to an ISO standard and transitional provisions for the amendment.

Proposed text transposing GTR No. 14 on pole side impact protection into a UN Regulation under the 1958 Agreement. (A separate proposal for the 01 series of amendments (document WP.29/2014/80) has also been submitted to enable Contracting Parties applying this Regulation to require a vehicle-to-pole impact speed of 32 ±1 km/h regardless of the “vehicle width”.)

Proposal for a 01 series of amendments to the proposed new UN Regulation on the approval of vehicles with regard to their pole side impact performance to enable Contracting Parties applying this new regulation to require a vehicle-to-pole impact speed of 32 ±1 km/h regardless of the “vehicle width”.

The scope of the new Global Technical Regulation on Pole Side Impact includes vehicles of category N1 (limited to GVM < 3.5 t) and vehicles of category M1 (without mass limit). However, the vehicle fleet includes a small number of M1 vehicles with a GVW > 3.5t which are based on vehicles of category N2, N3, M2 or M3. Therefore, OICA proposes to limit the scope of the GTR to both M1 and N1 vehicles under 3.5 t maximum vehicle mass in order to alleviate burdens on manufacturers producing M1 variants based on N2, N3, M2, or M3 vehicles.

However, the vehicle fleet includes a small number of M1 vehicles with a GVW > 3.5t which are based on vehicles of category N2, N3, M2 or M3. Based on the OICA proposal (document GRSP-56-12) and ensuing discussions, Australia proposes to limit the scope of the GTR to both M1 vehicles under 3.5 t maximum vehicle mass and to certain N1 vehicles based on geometric measurements.

Proposal to limit the scope of UN R135 to M1 vehicles under 3.5 t maximum vehicle mass and to certain N1 vehicles based on geometric measurements. The proposal would exclude the small number of M1 vehicles weighing in excess of 3.5t that are based on N2, N3, M2, or M3 platforms.

The proposal would exclude the small number of M1 vehicles weighing in excess of 3.5t that are based on N2, N3, M2, or M3 platforms. [Because the transitional provisions of the 01 series of amendments to UN R135 stipulate an effective date of 1 September 2016, this supplement to the 01 series will remain pending until after that date. Although adopted, the supplement cannot become enter into force prior to the effective date of the regulation it modifies.]

Proposal to introduce objective criteria for evaluating whether a door remains latched following the pole impact test. Under UN R135, rear doors on the impacted side of the vehicle not directly struck by the pole may nonetheless be subjected to heavy loads and therefore need to be assessed. This proposal corresponds to a similar clarification already introduced into UN R95 on side impacts.

Defines parameters to enable a reproducible measurement of the acute angle alpha (α) to decide if the vehicle is or is not in the scope of the regulation.

Proposal to align UN R135 with the provisions of GTR 20 on post-crash electrical safety and the administrative provisions of Revision 3 to the 1958 Agreement. The proposed amendments only relate to vehicles with an electric power train operating at high voltage.
