This proposal introduces new class 5 devices made solely of retro-reflective plates with chevron type pattern to be applied to special utility vehicles or trailers not regularly covered by standard rear marking plates. The amendment also seeks to harmonize the text to cover various national requirements.

Text prepared by Italy to delete all obsolete references in Regulations Nos. 53 and 74 in order to avoid confusion and possible incorrect application of the requirements containing these references. The deletions cover references to Regulations Nos. 1, 8, 20, 56, 57, 72, 76 and 82. These regulations have all been “frozen” (i.e., they do not apply to new type approvals) and their functions have been taken over by Regulations Nos. 112 and 113.

This proposal introduces new class F marking materials designed with chevron type pattern to be applied to special utility vehicles or trailers not ordinarily covered by standard contour marking materials. The proposal also attempts to harmonize a number of national requirements.

Proposal to ensure that the introduction of the new class F marking materials does not conflict with the mandatory requirements for existing class C materials. Class F markings are designed with alternate stripe pattern to be applied to special utility vehicles or trailers not regularly covered by standard contour marking materials requires amending the definitions.

Proposal to specify that safety aspects of ESC systems can be assessed under this new regulation or under UN R13-H. The objective of the proposed wording is to avoid redundant certification of the complex electronic control systems (CEL) aspects of ESC according to both the proposed ESC regulation and UN Regulation No. 13-H (keeping unchanged the level of safety). The proposal would permit the applicant to show evidence that CEL compliance has already been achieved according to Annex 8 of UN Regulation No. 13-H as an alternative to demonstrating compliance with the CEL annex of the ESC regulation.

Proposed amendments to UN R13-H to confirm that the complex electronic control system (CEL) requirements may be satisfied through an approval conducted under another regulation (e.g., the pending new ESC and BAS regulations) and to delete the marking requirement concerning ESC systems which will no longer be within the scope of UN R13-H.

Proposal to specify that safety aspects of brake assist systems can be assessed under this new regulation or under UN R13-H. The objective of the proposed wording is to avoid redundant certification of the complex electronic control systems (CEL) aspects of ESC according to both the proposed BAS regulation and UN Regulation No. 13-H (keeping unchanged the level of safety). The proposal would permit the applicant to show evidence that CEL compliance has already been achieved according to Annex 8 of UN Regulation No. 13-H as an alternative to demonstrating compliance with the CEL annex of the BAS regulation.

Transmitted by the experts of the subgroup on UN R0 pursuant to their 9th session held during 21-22 January 2014 (Document SGR0-08-13-rev.1).

Proposal to amend the draft text for the proposed new regulation on BAS which would extract the BAS provisions from the current UN R13-H on light vehicle braking systems. The intention is to clarify the meaning of the text in places where it is ambiguous when taken out of the context of UN R13-H.

Latest version (superceding WP.29/2014/26) of the revision of the 1958 Agreement to enable the deployment of the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval system and to facilitate the global application of the Agreement and its system for the mutual recognition of type approvals. This version proposes solutions to all the remaining open issues except the question of two-thirds voting raised as a measure to address concerns of non-EU governments over the current simple majority procedure.

Document prepared by the Secretariat in order to inform GRE about complaints, which do not seem to be isolated, concerning the intensity of LED brake lights in non-emergency braking situations.

Actions and decisions taken during the 9th session of the expert group amending the 1958 Agreement in order to accommodate the proposed international whole vehicle type approval system.

India noted an erroneous reference to “ESC” in the original document where “BAS” was clearly intended.

Proposed corrections and clarifications to the draft text of the new regulation to separate ESC provisions from Regulation No. 13-H (document GRRF/2014/12).

Proposal from the secretariat to delete the reference to Category 3 and 4 from Annex 1, item 9, of UN R6 since these two categories appear to have been reintroduced by mistake through Amendment 3 to Revision 5 of the regulation.

Explanation of three options developed for handling the approval of electronic stability controls (ESC) and brake-assist systems (BAS) under regulaitons separate from UN R13-H (light vehicle braking) while fulfilling the requirements of complex electronic systems (CEL).

Correction to the proposal for Supplement 17 to Regulation No. 50 (to introduce the possibility of interdependent lamps for dedicated motorcycle lamps). Annex 1, Paragraph 4., should read: “However, in the case where a device is intended to be installed with its H plane at a mounting height less than 750 mm above the ground, the angle of 15 10° below the horizontal may be reduced to 5°”

Correction to paragraph 6.2.7.6.1. where the reference should read Annex 13 instead of Annex 12.

Document to correct the original proposal to introduce the possibility of interdependent lamps for dedicated motorcycle lamps by including an omitted diagram and highlighting the marking clause.
