Proposal to clarify provisions of the headform tests of UN GTR No. 9.

Review of the work behind the proposal to clarify GTR 9, in particular concerning the definition of the headform testing/contact area for measurement purposes.

FlexPLI biofidelity for pedestrian detection

Includes review of NHTSA EV safety investigations and research activities.

Proposal to clarify that DC voltage thresholds should be applied to pulsating DC voltages (also known as “switched” DC) that alternate voltages without a change in polarity.

Clarifies how to assess the head containment. Increases the time frame for the assessment of the head containment criteria from the current period of 0 to 80 ms into the full duration of the entire test

Expands the scope and covers: M1 with a maximum permissible mass not exceeding 3,500 kg; M1 with a maximum permissible mass exceeding 3,500 kg and a low “R” point and N1.

Proposal corrects an omission in paragraph 3 with regard to information on safety-belt reminders and aligns the regulation with Annex I of EU regulation 2018/858.

Proposes alternative test methods for heavy duty vehicles in order to improve applicability of the requirements to vehicles of categories M2, M3, N2 and N3.

Introduces wording to clarify that the performance of protective helmets may be affected by using accessories not tested during the type approval procedure. Changes introduced by customers on helmets are not covered once the helmet has been type-approved.

Defines parameters to enable a reproducible measurement of the acute angle alpha (α) to decide if the vehicle is or is not in the scope of the regulation.

Proposal brings the text from the information sheet referring to the safety-belt reminder where it is really required, namely the seating position of the driver.

Status report from the GTR13-Phase 2 Task Force 4.

Proposal to remove vehicle categories M1 and N1 from the scope of the regulation given coverage of fire risks under UN R94, R95, and R153.

Analysis of a fatal crash event involving a van the lost its grip on the ice-covered road surface, crossed into the opposite lane and collided head-on with an estate car of approximately the same weight, fully laden with passengers. The investigation showed that the back of the rear seat was severely deformed, despite being reinforced and well within the regulatory strength requirements described in UN-ECE R17.

This report outlines draft test procedures developed under the transposition of GTR 20 and results of in-use testing on the 2019 Chevrolet Bolt.

Proposal to clarify specific conditions concerning the interpretation of an AC voltage (rms).

Proposal to clarify transitional provisions of the 05 series of amendments to UN R95 (document WP.29/2020/108).

Proposal to clarify

• provisions including the Test Report Template and Dimension Assessment Method
• that specific vehicle belted Enhanced Child Restraint Systems (ECRS) may be fitted with a support leg, top tether and lower tether attachments.

Proposal to clarify transitional provisions of the 02 series of amendments to UN R137 (document WP.29/2020/110).

Proposal to align UN R134 with UN R67 and UN R110 with regard to labelling requirements and to assist emergency services in determining appropriate responses in case of fire.

This document contains a proposal to continue to develop amendments to UN GTR No. 9 on pedestrian safety in order to clarify the test procedures. It is based on ECE/TRANS/WP.29/AC.3/31 from the March 2012 session of the Executive Committee (AC.3) of the 1998 Agreement. It is distributed to the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) and to AC.3 for consideration. This document shall be appended to the amendment to the UN GTR once adopted.

The text in paragraphs 2.1.1. to 2.1.9. defines criteria that are relevant to determine which variations of a vehicle can be covered under a single vehicle type without having to apply for a separate approval for another type. The current text contains several sub-paragraphs, which explicitly mention that the differences will only cause a new type of vehicle if the differences effect or negatively affect the results of the impact test described in this regulation, while other sub-paragraphs do not. This proposal extends the condition of the necessity of an influence on the results of the impact test to all criteria described under paragraph 2.1. and at the same time makes the text more clear by deleting the word “negative” in front of “affect” which is mentioned in several paragraphs.

Proposal to align UN R12 with the provisions of GTR 20 on post-crash electrical safety, the administrative provisions of Revision 3 to the 1958 Agreement. The amendments only impact the approval of vehicles with an electric power train operating at high voltage.

Proposal to align UN R135 with the provisions of GTR 20 on post-crash electrical safety and the administrative provisions of Revision 3 to the 1958 Agreement. The proposed amendments only relate to vehicles with an electric power train operating at high voltage.

Proposal to update the whole vehicle approval requirements to the latest series of amendments and to add the WLTP emissions cycle (UN R154). The update would also reflect the separation of UN R116 into three regulations respectively covering vehicle locking systems, alarm systems, and immobilizers.

Proposal to clarify the definition of “specific voltage condition” via a Supplement 1 to the 04 series of amendments to UN R94, Supplement 2 to the 05 series of amendments to UN R95, Supplement 2 to the 02 series of amendments to UN R137, and Supplement 2 to the original series of amendments to UN R153.

Updated by the informal group secretary pursuant to discussions.

Proposal to update provisions in line with the 03 series of amendments to UN R100. The proposal also introduces new optional requirements to enable the mounting of removable REESS in any orientation in order to enable safe deployment of swappable batteries.
