Presentation on status of work towards small sample wiper testing of the task force under the Informal Group on Plastic Glazing.

Text prepared by the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) to introduce the concept of “revision of approvals” in the UN Regulations under the responsibility of the Working Party on General Safety Provisions (GRSG).

Text prepared by Japan to add field-of-vision provisions to enhance the safety of pedestrians and other vulnerable road users in narrow alleys and by-streets and other improvements to Regulation No. 46

Text prepared by Germany clarifying the provisions of UN Regulation No. 67 with respect to hose assemblies.

Text prepared by the European Commission, France and Germany to provide a specific area in buses of Class I, allowing a child to remain seated in his/her pram or pushchair.

Text prepared by the Russian Federation to amend the provisions of the installation height of interior emergency controls in Class B vehicles.

Text prepared by Italy to introduce requirements allowing the installation of systems to control the access of passengers on board.

Text prepared by Japan to amend the requirements for fire prevention under certain conditions in the event of a rear collision.

Text prepared by the Chair of the Task Force on Liquefied Natural Gas vehicles to introduce type-approval provisions for vehicles equipped with LNG propulsion systems. The proposal has been prepared as a new consolidated version (Revision 3) of UN Regulation No. 110.

Text prepared by the European Association of Automotive Suppliers (CLEPA) to enable the approval of an OEM engine control unit on a CNG/LNG vehicle during the vehicle type approval process, eliminating the need for a separate type approval of the ECU as is the current requirement.

Text prepared by the European Association of Automotive Suppliers (CLEPA) to introduce into Regulations Nos. 67 and 110 type approval provisions for “valve control at stop-start”. This proposal allows the tank valves to stay open in an active stop-start phase for CNG/LPG with stop-start engines.

Correction to the descriptive paragraph of document GRSG/2013/5, noting its purpose as “to increase the safety benefits of the driver’s field of vision and the pedestrian safety in narrow streets”.

Text prepared by CLEPA to introduce a prohibition on any flow of a gaseous fuel into a diesel/gasoline reservoir and limiting the flow of diesel/gasoline into a gaseous fuel tank in bi-fuel vehicles.

Several vehicle control regulations refer to compliance with UN Regulation No. 10 on electromagnetic compatibility. The proposal would revise these references to focus only on the technical (thus excluding administrative) requirements since some countries do not apply UN R10.

Text prepared by the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) in order to introduce the concept of “revision of approvals” into regulations under GRRF responsibility.

Draft terms of reference and rules of procedure for the informal working group established to overhaul the UN Regulation on mechanical couplings presented by the informal group chairman for GRRF approval.

Annex to the draft terms of reference providing a list of possible areas for amendments to the regulation on mechanical couplings.

Text prepared by the UN R55 informal group: Requirements on movable ball couplings, increased range of application of remote controls to couplings similar to C50-X and G50-X; couplings amendments; enable increased standard coupling characteristic values; and additional requirements for mountings.

Amendment prepared by the informal working group on Automated Connections between Vehicles (ACV) to enable the use of automatic coupling systems under UN Regulation No. 13.

Insertion of missing items to define terms ACV plug and ACV socket.

Definition for non-standard drawbar couplings where coupling and uncoupling of the mechanical connection as well as electric and pneumatic connection is accomplished through an automated procedure.
