Working draft of the proposed regulation specifying safety-related requirements for electric motorcycles and similar vehicles.

Transposition of the HFCV GTR into a UN Regulation with the exception of the deletion of references to liquefied hydrogen.

This document is a progress report to the Executive Committee of the 1998 Agreement (AC.3) on the development of the draft gtr for electric vehicle safety (EVS), as recommended by the Working Party on Passive Safety (GRSP) at its May 2014 session. An extension of the mandate for the informal working group (IWG) is requested.

Proposal to clarify UN R44 and align the text with that of UN R129 on enhanced child restraint systems.

Proposal to clarify that head restraints approved under UN R17 are exempt from the requirements of UN R25 and that UN R25 does not apply to coach and bus seats approved under UN R80.

Presentation on the development of hydrogen fuel cell motorcycles in Japan.

Proposal to require the installation of occupant-activated acoustic warning systems in vehicles equipped with full-locking systems in order to prevent harm in the event of an occupant being locked inside such a vehicle.

Proposed text transposing GTR No. 14 on pole side impact protection into a UN Regulation under the 1958 Agreement. (A separate proposal for the 01 series of amendments (document WP.29/2014/80) has also been submitted to enable Contracting Parties applying this Regulation to require a vehicle-to-pole impact speed of 32 ±1 km/h regardless of the “vehicle width”.)

Proposal for a 01 series of amendments to the proposed new UN Regulation on the approval of vehicles with regard to their pole side impact performance to enable Contracting Parties applying this new regulation to require a vehicle-to-pole impact speed of 32 ±1 km/h regardless of the “vehicle width”.

Presentation to explain Japan’s preference for using a gauge to ensure a 60° angle over the procedure based on the bumper beam to determine the target impact area for the lower legform.

Explanation of Japanese concerns over differences in the behaviour of the Flex-PLI lower legform impactor in an angled impact compared with a human being based on THUMS analysis in relation to the bumper beam proposal for determining the impact area of the test.

Outline proposal for an Addendum 2 to M.R.1. to include specifications of the 50th percentile WorldSID side impact dummy.

Part 3 of 3 of the EEVC report on the design and evaluation of the Q10 child dummy which is the latest extension to the new generation of child dummies called Q-dummies. The Q-dummies were developed to replace the P-dummies in the UN Regulation 44 and in consumer testing. EEVC Working Groups 12 (Biomechanics) and 18 (Child Safety) collaborated on joint research to evaluate the Q-Series and recommended that they replace the P-Series in UN Regulation 44.
