Overview of the goals for the proposed overhaul of the regulation on frontal impact occupant protection (UN R94).

Formal text adopted by the Working Party on Passive Safety (GRSP) at its fiftieth session proposing a new UN Regulation on Child Restraint Systems.

Draft progress report for presentation to the Working Party on Passive Safety for review and approval by the Informal Group on Frontal Impact Protection.

Frontal Impact informal group review draft of the new terms of reference (scope, duration, etc.) for the informal working group in order to reorient its work to focus on the overhaul of UN R94.

Proposal for establishing two informal working groups addressing the safety and environmental requirements for electric vehicles to enhance regulatory cooperation including developing global technical regulations in the framework of the 1998 Agreement.

Working draft (from the 20 Dec 2011 meeting of the EC Working Group on Motorcycles (MCWG)) of the EU regulation on vehicle functional safety requirements (RVSFR) for the approval of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles under discussion between the European Commission and interested parties.

Proposal to increase the strap sensitivity to a range of up to 3.0g to allow the
installation of belt systems less likely to lock up when pulling out the strap while buckling up.

Proposal to delete erroneous cross-references in text, making reference only the “adjusting system” which is defined in section 2 of the Regulation.

The requirements for the airbag warning label were recently amended by Supplement 4 to the 01 series of amendments and by Supplement 1 to the 02 series of amendments to Regulation 94. It therefore appears necessary to align the corresponding prescriptions of Regulation 16.

EC submission intended to raise awareness of certain concerns over clarity and implications of proposed amendments related to the measuring points of the headform and lower legform test procedures and to ensure full support among Contracting Parties.

Fully revised version of the proposal to introduce provisions for rechargeable energy storage systems (REESS) into UN R100 (e.g., document GRSP/2012/10), edited for better readability.

GRSP/2012/10 is the proposal to incorporate such rechargeable energy storage systems (REESS) into the UN Regulation on battery electric vehicle safety. This document from the REESS informal group proposes further editorial clarifications and corrections.

GRSP/2012/12 is the proposed text of the new UN GTR on safety of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. This proposal from OICA would retain the “barriers alternative” for post-crash electrical safety (in effect removing brackets that signify tentative language from the relevant text).

PowerPoint table concerning door locking status under the test procedures of UN R94.

Document GRSP/2012/7 proposes adapt the test procedures of UN R94 to take into account vehicles equipped with automatically activated door locking systems. This OICA proposal would allow for ‘mixed configuration’ of both locked and unlocked doors during testing.

Document GRSP/2012/9 proposes to adapt the test procedure for UN Regulation No. 95 to include vehicles equipped with automatically activated door locking systems. This proposal would allow for “mixed configurations” of locked and unlocked doors in the test procedures.

GRSP/2012/11 proposes to correct text for electric vehicles in UN Regulation Nos. 12, 94, 95 and 100, replacing the word “power train” with “occupants” in the referenced rules. This document replaces ‘registration’ with ‘approval’ in transition provisions in accordance with WP.29 guidelines.

Document GRSP/2012/5 proposes amendments to UN R44 to prevent the unintentional disengagement of ISOFIX child restraint systems. This submission from Japan proposes additional provisions for CRS configurations where the main seat body can be disengaged from the ISOFIX chassis.

Draft scope, objectives, and rules of procedure for the EVS working group as submitted for the May 2012 session of the Working Party on Passive Safety.
