France submitted this proposal to clarify the provisions for bumpers of vehicle types complying with the performances requirements specified in the new UN Regulation on pedestrian protection. This document is based on informal document GRSG-101-24.

Proposal to update UN R26 in view of technological advances in bumper system designs.

Proposal as adopted by the Working Party on General Safety Provisions (GRSG) at its 102nd session to align the provisions for bumpers of certain vehicle types with the performance requirements of the draft Regulation on pedestrian safety.

WP.29 voted to align UN Regulation procedures with the EU Whole Vehicle Approval Directive 2007/46/EC. This document proposes revisions to regulations under the purview of GRSG per the revised UN Regulatory Procedures and Transitional Provisions (document WP.29/1044/Rev.1).

UN Regulations 21, 26, and 125 have provisions that relate to mirrors and/or the program to enable the approval of camera-monitor systems as a replacement for conventional mirrors. This document discusses changes that will be required under the proposed CMS revisions to UN R46.

Draft proposal to align the provisions of Regulation 26 with the proposed amendments of Regulation 46 (devices for indirect vision) for the replacement of rear-view mirrors by camera monitor systems.

Draft proposal to align the provisions of Regulation 26 with the proposed amendments of Regulation 46 (devices for indirect vision) for the replacement of rear-view mirrors by camera monitor systems.

Proposal to treat camera-monitor systems the same as rear-view mirrors under UN R26 in view of the amendment to UN R46 to enable the replacement of rear-view mirrors by CMS (i.e., document GRSG/2015/2).

Proposal to introduce a generic drawing to clarify the requirements applicable to elements of windscreen wipers.

Proposal to add a drawing and text to clarify which requirements apply to which parts of the windscreen wiper.

Proposal to exempt rear edges of fenders and rear edges of A pillars under certain conditions from the requirement that sheet metal edges be folded back or fitted with a shield. These edges not easily contacted by VRU in a collision could be blunted instead.

Proposal to introduce a generic drawing to improve interpretation of the regulation, especially with regard to contactable parts (sphere protocol).

Proposal to introduce a generic drawing to improve interpretation of the regulation, especially with regard to contactable parts (sphere protocol). The proposal aims to clarify how to deal with potentially “exempted” parts and which requirements apply to which part of the windscreen wiper. Given the implications for approvals, the proposal is presented as a new series of amendments with transitional provisions starting 24 months after entry into force.

OICA comments on the original proposal (GRSG/2019/11) regarding interpretation of “contactable parts” and wiper systems. GRSG/2019/11 has been superseded by a revised proposal (GRSG/2019/34) incorporating the OICA comments.

Changes to the proposal to exempt rear edges of fenders and rear edges of A pillars under certain conditions.

Proposal to exempt rear edges of fenders and rear edges of A pillars under certain conditions from the requirement that sheet metal edges be folded back or fitted with a shield.

Proposal to introduce a generic drawing to improve interpretation of the regulation, especially with regard to contactable parts (sphere protocol). The proposal clarifies which requirements apply to which part of the windscreen wiper and thus clarifies whether parts may be “exempted”. Given the implications for approvals, the proposal is presented as a new series of amendments with transitional provisions starting from September 2022.

Proposal to update the whole vehicle approval requirements to the latest series of amendments and to add the WLTP emissions cycle (UN R154). The update would also reflect the separation of UN R116 into three regulations respectively covering vehicle locking systems, alarm systems, and immobilizers.

Proposal submitted by Germany on behalf of the GRSG task force on UN R46 to address surveillance cameras/mirrors under UN R26 (while removing related provisions from UN R46 on indirect vision).
