Automated Vehicle Periodic Technical Inspections	Automated Vehicle Periodic Technical Inspections	WP.29 Discussion Topics	At its 86th meeting, GRRF recommended to cluster subjects together and form a number of task forces to deal with different issues related to the Automatically Commanded Steering Functions work. One task force was devoted to Periodic Technical Inspection (PTI). GAR has established this page to monitor activities related to vehicle automation and in-use vehicle inspections.

Child Restraint Systems for Buses and Coaches	Child Restraint Systems for Buses and Coaches	WP.29 Discussion Topics	To be determined. This issue is currently under discussion within GRSP. <p>In 2008, Spain proposed the development of a UNECE Regulation to govern the installation and use of child restraint systems in M2 and M3 category vehicles (buses and coaches).</p> <p>The installation and use of seat belts in such vehicles is mandatory in Europe under Directive 2003/20/EC. However, this directive and the related UNECE Regulations only concern adults.</p> <p>Adult safety belts are not appropriate to restrain minors with a lower height than 135 cm and a lower weight than 36 Kg. Therefore, the use of safety belts for minors is not required under current regulations.</p> <p>Moreover, UNECE R44 on child restraint systems focuses on M1 vehicles and therefore fails to address child safety on buses.</p> Bus and Coach CRS Child Restraint Systems for Buses and Coaches WP.29 Discussion Topic Child Restraint Systems for Buses and Coaches	Topic

Environmentally Friendly Vehicles	Environmentally Friendly Vehicles	WP.29 Discussion Topics	Not applicable. This item is part of a broad effort to address the "environmental friendliness" of motor vehicles from a "well-to-wheels" perspective. An "Environmentally Friendly Vehicles Conference" was every two years within the general framework of WP.29. Conferences were held in Tokyo (2003), Birmingham (2005), Dresden (2007), New Delhi (2009), and Baltimore(2011) before WP.29 and the EFV informal working group ended completed this effort.</p> EFV Environmentally Friendly Vehicles WP.29 Discussion Topic Environmentally Friendly Vehicles	Topic

Lightweight Motorcycle Helmets	Lightweight Motorcycle Helmets	WP.29 Discussion Topics	To be determined. <p>The FIA Foundation and GHVI consortium have proposed the establishment of a lightweight motorcycle standard to encourage helmet use in countries where the heavier and more expensive helmet envisioned in UNECE R22 faces significant obstacles to implementation and/or acceptance.</p> <p>The desired outcome of this effort is to provide a technically feasible standard that can be implemented in those regions that currently do not have an existing motorcycle helmet standard and do not currently possess the technical expertise to develop their own motorcycle helmet standard and motorcycle helmet standard test procedures.</p> <p>The sponsors have proposed the creation of an informal group to pursue this initiative.</p> Lightweight Helmets Lightweight Motorcycle Helmets WP.29 Discussion Topic Lightweight Motorcycle Helmets	Topic
Marking Provisions of Global Technical Regulations	Marking Provisions of Global Technical Regulations	WP.29 Discussion Topics	None. The World Forum has engaged in an exchange of views over the possibility of establishing a common system of product markings (mainly within the context of lighting products and tires) through the GTR process. At the November 2010 session, the Forum decided to set this item in abeyance for 2011 unless a new reason appears to reopen the discussion. At the same time, the Forum's DETA group (which is pursuing a data exchange system for type approval information) wishes to keep open the possibility for eventually including information from non-type-approval (e.g., self-certification) nations.

Vehicle Interior Noise Levels	Vehicle Interior Noise Levels	WP.29 Discussion Topics	This topic was raised by the Russian Federation during the September 2014 GRB session. Russia explained to the GRB that a new regulation on interior noise of vehicles would come into force from January 2015 within the Eurasian Customs Union (Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan). Russia urged the GRB to revisit a previous recommendation to develop in coordination with ISO a uniform test method for measuring vehicle interior noise levels.
