PSG informal group proposal to correct the scope of the GTR in accordance with Part A of the GTR, its UN R43 counterpart, and corresponding regional/national interpretations and to align the impact test procedure description with that of UN R43 and ISO 3537.

Copy of document GRSG/2017/7 as submitted for the April GRSG session.

Proposal to correct the scope of the GTR to align with Part A of the GTR, UN R43, and regional/national interpretations and to align the impact test procedure description with that of UN R43 and ISO 3537. The scope is amended to add “panes or as partitioning” while deleting the wording “use of double windows panes, each pane is considered a separate item of glazing panes”. The impact test procedure is clarified to define the point of impact with reference to the test piece (not the current “supported area”) and within 25 mm of its geometric centre and 50 mm of its centre.

Proposal for minimum amendments to GTR No. 6 pending conclusion of NHTSA research and for further amendment concerning ceramic printer areas and sunroof safety testing.

Examples gathered by KATRI showing reductions in the ceramic printing area of sunroofs on individual vehicle models between 2015 and 2017.
