| UN R153: Proposal for amendments |
| Reference Number: GRSP-69-07 |
|
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. |
