Proposal to amend para. 3.3.2. to insert structured subsections for REESS trade name, cell types, physical dimensions, description, electrical specifications, gas combination rate, installation description, thermal management and electronic control, insert new paras. 4. to 9.1. requiring information on fuel cell specifications, fuses and circuit breakers, power wiring harness, protection against electric shock, power circuit component details, and hydrogen system components located in the energy absorption zone. These modifications address insufficiently defined topics on REESS type, electrical system and hydrogen system in vehicles by introducing relevant sections from UN R100 and adding hydrogen system documentation requirements.

Proposal to enable application to vehicles of category X. In the absence of a driver or manual driving controls, provisions related to them shall not be taken into account if not already covered by this amendment. Vehicles of category Y are not in the scope of this Regulation. In manual driving mode, no special provisions or exemptions apply to vehicles equipped with an Automated Driving System other than vehicles of category X.

Proposal to amend UN R153. A new Introduction section is inserted to account for vehicles of category X and to extend application to vehicles without driver and without manual driving controls. Vehicles of category Y are not in scope. In manual driving mode, no special provisions apply to vehicles with Automated Driving System other than category X; relevant ADS requirements apply when an ADS feature is active. Scope is amended to apply to vehicles of category M₁ and N₁ regarding fuel system integrity and electric power train safety at rear-end collision. Footnotes are updated with references to the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles.

Proposal to amend UN R153 to account for vehicles of category X and Y equipped with an Automated Driving System. The Regulation, originally drafted for vehicles with driver and manual driving controls, is extended to vehicles without driver and without manual driving controls inside the vehicle. Provisions related to driver and manual driving controls shall not apply if not already covered by this amendment. In manual driving mode, no special provisions apply. In a mode where an ADS feature is active, relevant ADS requirements apply.

Proposal from the GRSP AVRS task force to enable application of UN R153 to ADS vehicles.

Proposal for amendments to enable application of UN R153 to ADS vehicles.

Proposal to introduce provisions for post-impact REESS fire hazard assessment, introduce additional definitions, update references to the three-dimensional “H” point measurement and calibration procedure, and otherwise clarify and correct the text.

Amendments to the original proposal to introduce provisions for post-impact REESS fire hazard assessment, introduce additional definitions, and otherwise clarify and correct the text.

The proposal aims to update the requirements on post-crash electrical safety

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 aims to resolve editorial issues and to introduce requirements for the post-crash safety of hydrogen-fuelled vehicles.

Proposal to clarify the conditions under which variations of a vehicle can be covered under a single vehicle type without having to apply for a separate approval for another type. The proposal amends certain current provisions that explicitly state that differences will only cause a new type of vehicle if the differences affect the results of the impact test and clarifies the application of this principle across the regulation.

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).

The proposal aims to amend the details of the requirements for post-crash safety of hydrogen fuelled vehicles.

Proposal to clarify the conditions under which variations of a vehicle can be covered under a single vehicle type without having to apply for a separate approval for another type. The proposal amends certain current provisions that explicitly state that differences will only cause a new type of vehicle if the differences affect the results of the impact test and clarifies the application of this principle across the regulation.

Proposal from GRSP to clarify the definition of “specific voltage condition”.

Proposal to clarify the definition of “specific voltage condition” via a Supplement 1 to the 04 series of amendments to UN R94, Supplement 2 to the 05 series of amendments to UN R95, Supplement 2 to the 02 series of amendments to UN R137, and Supplement 2 to the original series of amendments to UN R153.

The text in paragraphs 2.1.1. to 2.1.9. defines criteria that are relevant to determine which variations of a vehicle can be covered under a single vehicle type without having to apply for a separate approval for another type. The current text contains several sub-paragraphs, which explicitly mention that the differences will only cause a new type of vehicle if the differences effect or negatively affect the results of the impact test described in this regulation, while other sub-paragraphs do not. This proposal extends the condition of the necessity of an influence on the results of the impact test to all criteria described under paragraph 2.1. and at the same time makes the text more clear by deleting the word “negative” in front of “affect” which is mentioned in several paragraphs.

Proposal to remove vehicle categories M1 and N1 from the scope of the regulation given coverage of fire risks under UN R94, R95, and R153.

GRSP proposal to align the definition of REESS with UN R100.

Proposal to align the REESS definition in the new UN Regulation of fuel system integrity and electric power train safety in the event of a rear-end collision with the definition adopted under UN R100.

Proposal for a new UN Regulation for the type approval of M1 vehicles with a total permissible mass not exceeding 3,500 kg and of N1 with regard to fuel integrity and safety of high voltage systems in case of a rear-end collision. This proposal aligns rear impact (UN R34) and electric vehicle safety (UN R100) requirements with the new EU General Safety Regulation and with GTR 20 on electric vehicle safety.

Proposal for a new UN Regulation concerning the approval of vehicles with regard to fuel system integrity and safety of electric power train in the event of a rear-end collision.

Updated proposal with comments.

Proposal for a new UN Regulation for the type approval of M₁ vehicles with a total permissible mass not exceeding 3,500 kg and of N₁ with regard to fuel integrity and safety of high voltage systems in case of a rear-end collision. This proposal aligns rear impact (UN R34) and electric vehicle safety (UN R100) requirements with the new EU General Safety Regulation and with GTR 20 on electric vehicle safety.
