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.

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

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

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).

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.
