Revised version of the additional slides concerning the seat performance criteria for rear-impact testing presented during the session.

Corrections proposed to document GRSP/2014/26 which introduced amendments to the draft regulation as presented in document GRSG/2014/11.

Corrections to the informal group working draft (document REESS-12-09).

Request to move UN R44 on child restraint systems to the “B list” of regulations (eventual consideration for inclusion in the whole vehicle type approval) from the “A list” of regulations identified for use in the first phase implementation of the IWVTA system.

In order for the proposed new UN Regulation transposing the GTR on hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles into the 1958 Agreement to be applicable in Japan, the regulation needs to make clear that its scope does not include (i) the electrical safety of electric power train, (ii) the material compatibility and hydrogen embrittlement of the vehicle fuel system and (iii) the post-crash fuel system integrity in the event of full width frontal impact and rear impact. This allows Japanese national regulations to be applied even when accepting a vehicle type-approved under the UN Regulation.

Proposal to exempt rechargeable energy storage system components that are not energized during driving from post-crash protection requirements.

Recommendation to use the working voltage definition from GTR No. 13 (hydrogen fuel cell vehicle safety) in order to facilitate the application of the Electric Vehicle Safety GTR under self-certification regimes.

Table of elements for inclusion in the proposed electric vehicle safety GTR, including notes on associated research programs and their anticipated completion dates.
