UN R21 requires the owner’s manual to contain clear instructions for power-operated window/roof panel/partition systems, including explanation of possible consequences, use of driver-controlled switches, and WARNING messages indicating dangers to children and requiring special care with remote closing systems. UN R173 references to Annex 9, paragraph 3 are unnecessary as this paragraph no longer exists in R173 but is now in UN R16 S10 Annex. UN R94 Annex 3 requires a line break.

Proposal to enable application to vehicles of category X. Amendments specify dummy placement and positioning requirements for vehicles of category X, including provisions for both right and left hand traffic configurations. Vehicles of category Y are excluded from the scope.

Proposal to amend UN R137 concerning approval of passenger cars in the event of frontal collision with regard to restraint systems, fuel system integrity, and protection against electrical shock. Amendments include extension of application to vehicles of category X without driver and manual driving controls, and vehicles equipped with Automated Driving System. Vehicles of category Y are excluded from scope. Modifications address dummy positioning, seat specifications, door locking systems, and airbag warning requirements.

Proposal to amend UN R137 to enable application to vehicles equipped with an Automated Driving System. The regulation applies to vehicles of category M₁ with maximum permissible mass not exceeding 3,500 kg and vehicles of category N₁. For vehicles of category X without driver and manual driving controls, provisions related to driver controls shall not apply unless already covered. For vehicles equipped with ADS in manual driving mode, no special provisions apply; in modes where ADS features are active, relevant ADS requirements apply. Amendments modify specifications for restraint systems, airbags, door locking systems, and dummy placement in frontal impact testing.

Collective amendments to UN R94 (Frontal collision), UN R95 (Lateral collision) and UN R137 (Frontal Impact with focus on restraint systems). Aim of this document is, to clarify, if it was the intention of Informal Document GRSP-66-32 to delete paragraph 7.1.2.1. to 7.1.2.2.2. If it was the intention to delete these paragraphs, do we still need the simplified test described in Annex 7 of the Regulation?

Proposal to harmonize airbag warning labels regarding the correct use of a child restraint system in a seating position equipped with an activated frontal airbag in order to prohibit the display of additional information unrelated to child safety.

December 2015 notes prepared by Global NCAP in safety awareness following “Safer Cars in India” program.

Global NCAP letter of November 2016 supporting attention to the crashworthiness of L-category four-wheeled vehicles (L6/L7) via a “new global standard”.

Proposal to require rigid barrier frontal crash testing for commercial use quadricycles (i.e., four-wheeled vehicles with unladen mass not more than 400 kg (550 kg for goods-carrying vehicles), not including the mass of batteries in the case of electric vehicles and whose maximum continuous rated power does not exceed 15 kW).

Proposal to delete a reference to the measurement of the femur bending moments because such measurements are unnecessary under the full width rigid impact test. Specifically, paragraph 5.2.4.1. is changed from “The axial compressive force and the bending moments are measured with a CFC of 600.” to read “The axial compressive force is measured with a CFC of 600.”

Proposal to delete a reference to the measurement of the femur bending moments because such measurements are unnecessary under the full width rigid impact test. Specifically, paragraph 5.2.4.1. is changed from “The axial compressive force and the bending moments are measured with a CFC of 600.” to read “The axial compressive force is measured with a CFC of 600.”

Alternative proposal to GRSP/2017/27 submitted by the EC to clarify and improve airbag warning label requirements and to group these provisions under UN R16 in order to avoid the need to update multiple regulations in case of changes. OICA would not, however, add provisions concerning language variations (these are handled at the point of sale).

As a counterproposal to document GRSP/2017/27 submitted by the EC, OICA suggests to group all the airbag warning requirements in one single UN Regulation (i.e. UN R16); this would avoid future administrative burden when these may need adaptation. Another solution could be to simply refer, in UN R94 and UN R137, to the label defined in UN R16; OICA suggests that GRSP discusses the most suitable approach.

In addition, OICA agrees with the EC proposal to better define the required label, in order to avoid potential misinterpretations. However, when it comes to the printing of the user information in a multitude of languages, OICA considers this is an unnecessary burden, with no benefit to the user. User manuals are placed in the vehicles at the point of sale and therefore in the local language(s); in the not so frequent cases whereby a vehicle, during its lifetime, ends up in a different country/language, the user will always be able to obtain the manual in his own language, if he so asks. OICA consequently proposes not to amend the current requirements on the issue of languages.

Proposal to harmonize airbag warning labels regarding the correct use of a child restraint system in a seating position equipped with an activated frontal airbag in order to prohibit the display of additional information unrelated to child safety.

Australia wishes to accept the new full-width rigid barrier crash test regulation (expected as UN R137) as an alternative to its ADR 69/00; however, Australia wishes to avoid possible confusion over the use of an airbag deactivation device (such as used to turn off an airbag when a child seat is used in the front seat). Therefore, Australia proposes to clarify the provisions of UN R16 to avoid misunderstandings or misuse of such devices along the lines of requirements found in Euro NCAP and US FMVSS 208.

Proposal to increase the stringency of the Thorax Compression Criterion (ThCC) for the Hybrid III 5th female dummy in the passenger seat to 34 mm under the proposed new regulation to test the performance of occupant restraint systems in the event of a frontal collision.

Text prepared by the Informal Working Group on Frontal Impact (IWG FI) as an outcome of discussions of the Working Party on Passive Safety (GRSP) at its fifty-seventh session on developing a separate new Regulation on frontal impact focusing on requirements for restraint systems.

Pursuant to GRPE work on vehicle propulsion system definitions (VPSD informal group; see document WP.29-165-17), this proposal would update the definition of the acronym “REESS” to refer to “rechargeable electrical energy storage system” across the passive safety regulations and currently proposed texts that make use of this acronym. (REESS had previously referred generically to “rechargeable energy storage systems”.)
