Proposal to improve the specifications for LPG multi-valves in response to an LPG vehicle fire that resulted in injuries to first responders. A German Type Approval Authority (KBA) analysis concluded that the hose connecting the PRV/PRD of the multi-valve to the gaseous phase was damaged and hose-fragments blocked both PRV and PRD such that pressure could not be adequately reduced. The PRV and PRD were activated, but the fragments considerably reduced the effective section of the relevant tubing and prevented the release of pressure. This proposal aims to prevent such occurrences.

Proposal for a new series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 110 to improve the specifications for the installation and inspection of CNG cylinders and of LNG tanks and their accessories.

Supplement 1 to the 02 series of amendments modified the definition of “interior compartment” (previously “passenger compartment”) in paragraph 2.2. The definition replaced the term “roof” by “ceiling” in reference to the upper boundary surface of the compartment definition. Nonetheless, use of the term “roof” was not updated throughout the regulation. This proposal corrects the omission by substituting “ceiling” for “roof” throughout the text.
