Proposal to introduce options for fulfilling marking requirements in cases where more than one UN Regulation applies, including the use of smaller E-markings especially for small components.

Proposal to clarify that indicators, their identifications, and the identifications of controls need not be illuminated when the driver intentionally deactivates illumination and the electric vehicle is not in driving conditions.

Proposal to amend the requirements for the visible volume to the front of the vehicle (relative to the distance between the A-pillars or Inter A-Pillar Distance (IAPD)).

Proposal to introduce options for fulfilling the marking requirements of E-marking to avoid redundancy with other UN Regulations and to permit a smaller E-marking (as currently permitted under UN R67 and R158).

Proposal to introduce options for fulfilling the marking requirements where more than one UN Regulation applies, including the possibility for smaller E-markings, particularly in cases of small components.

Proposal to align the provisions on compliance with UN R10 (electromagnetic compatibility) with the wording adopted by WP.29 for the same provisions under UN R157.

Proposal to remove the possibility of different technical requirements being applied by Type Approval Authorities when mechanical couplings for agricultural tractors with a maximum speed in excess of 60 km/h are submitted for type approval testing. The amendment would align requirements with European Union approvals which are accepted to be technically correct in design and safe to use at all speeds. This is achieved by the removal of the clause in annex 6 that requires different technical requirements for mechanical couplings to be used on agricultural tractors with a maximum speed in excess of 60 km/h.

Proposal to align the wording on compliance with UN R10 (electromagnetic compatibility) with the wording approved by WP.29 for the same provision under UN R157 (WP.29/2023/131).

The Working Party on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (WP.15) during its 114th session noted, on the basis of INF.18 from Germany, that problems could arise during the approval of vehicles intended for the carriage of explosive substances and articles (Class 1) for vehicles intended for the carriage of liquids having a flash-point of not more than 60°C (EX/III and FL vehicles) fitted with a camera monitoring system which complied with the requirements of UN R46.

Paragraph 9.2.2.8.3. of the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) stipulates that the electrical circuits must be broken within 10 seconds after operation of the battery master switch. This might conflict with paragraph 16.1.1. of UN R46 which requires that, after each engine switch-off (intended use), the camera-monitor system remains operational for a period of at least 120 seconds.

This document relates to the establishment of a GRSG task force on UN R46 to resolve this concern.

Proposal to update the references to the three-dimensional H-point (3-D “H”-point) measurement and calibration procedure (per the update and transfer of specifications from the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3) to Mutual Resolution No. 1 (M.R.1)).
