Presentation on the emergency call systems regulatory program of the Customs Union of Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Russia.

Proposal to clarify that the regulation applies to the type approval of anti-theft devices if fitted in the vehicle (and therefore is not meant to render such devices compulsory in vehicles).

Proposal from the expert from France to improve and re-arrange the wording of the text of the regulation in accordance with the informal group proposal for amendments to UN R43 (document GRSG-104-43)

Presentation of proposals for the on-road testing of plastic windscreens and other glazing.

Proposal to amend requirements for the minimum number of priority seats (four in Class I, two in Class II and Class III and one in Class A and Class B), to disallow the priority designation for folding seats, and to establish uniform provisions for gangway barriers in vehicles of Classes I and A, including a proposed 50N force limit for moving such barriers out of the way.

Proposal to clarify the transitional provisions of the 03 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 46, including provisions for extensions of approvals to the 03 series of amendments, for approval of devices to the 02 series, and provisions for aftermarket devices.

Proposal to introduce type-approval provisions for fuel selection systems and for “valve control at stop-start”.

This paper discusses ADR vehicles and such gaseous fuels.
