Amends 118-03

Concurrent 6th EDR-DSSAD informal group session.

List of items approved during the remote GRSG July session but subject to confirmation via absence of objections following the session. Under the “silence procedure”, if a Contracting Party expresses dissent, the GRSG approval is nullified.

Proposal for additional checks following complete vehicle tests:

1. destruction of seats mounts. The break-off and displacement of seats is not covered by the current Regulation, since they are initially located inside the residual space and their displacement is not assessed;
2. injury-causing objects entering the residual space and moving within it (e.g., if a person is hit by a fire extinguisher or other object when the vehicle overturns, it may cause serious or even fatal injuries).

Proposal to update the definition of “key” in line with technological progress and clarifying that a “key” is specifically a means for access, not an anti-theft system.

Proposal to introduce provisions for alarm initiation based on a reference temperature, to amend provisions on the opening of all power-operated doors, and to improve safety instructions.

Proposal to ensure that the vehicle remains stopped while lifts or ramps are being used.

Proposal to clarify that adhesive agents should not exacerbate the burning behavior of materials or components. The manufacturer should list the adhesives used in construction.
