Working draft of the informal working group on Camera-Monitor Systems under preparation to introduce type-approval provisions for the use of CMS in place of conventional rear view mirrors.

Table of clauses and paragraphs introduced into the proposed revision of UN R46 in order to enable the type approval of camera-monitor systems in place of conventional rear view mirrors, including references to and transposition of provisions from ISO 16505.

CLEPA position on marking requirements in general and specifically concerning the requirements for camera-monitor systems under UN R46.

Explanations and arguments in support of the amendments to UN R43 proposed by the Informal Group on Plastic Glazing (IGPG) in document GRSG/2014/23.

Proposal by Germany to amend the Swedish proposal (document GRSG/2014/6) to introduce approval provisions for automatic fire suppression systems activated upon the detection of fire in the engine and/or heater compartment of buses and coaches. This proposal would limit mandatory installation to Class III vehicles.

Proposal to amend the scope and clarify the transitional provisions to avoid misinterpretations for the installation of side-facing seats in category M3 vehicles. The proposal exempts vehicles exceeding 10 tonnes from the prohibition on side-facing seat provided the seat meet conditions specified in the 03 series of amendments to the Regulation.

OICA comments on the proposal to introduce fire suppression systems for buses and coaches upon detection of fire in the engine and/or heater compartment (document GRSG/2014/6).

UN R116 specifies operating voltages and voltage limits. Current technology and intelligent battery management systems allow for precise control and definition of these parameters. This includes “intelligent” operating ranges in order to optimize energy management (CO2 emission reduction). Fixed operating voltage ranges are therefore unnecessary or even may hinder efforts for CO2 emission reduction in the future. OICA proposes language to modify the design-restrictive language.

More detailed explanation of the proposal (document GRSG/2014/24) to update the reference to ISO 6722 in the cable test (i.e. replace the reference to “IS0 6722 paragraph 12” with a reference to “ISO 6722-1:2011 paragraph 5.22”).

Proposal to correct the calculation of total mass under the draft 05 and 06 series amendments intended to align Annex 11 of UN R107 with Regulation (EU) 1230/2012 (i.e., the amendments proposed in document GRSG/2014/22).

Correction to clarify that the scope of the GTR covers windscreens and panes for cars and trucks and to harmonize the text with ISO 3537/ UN R43. The present text could be read to limit the scope of windscreens and double window panes.

Proposal to modify the draft amendment to UN R39 that would introduce odometer requirements (document GRSG/2014/32). OICA proposes to change the definition of “odometer” to refer to the distance recorded rather than traveled and to delete the definition of “technical constant of the odometer”.

Paragraph 5.3.1. refers to Appendix 8 of Annex 1. OICA believes that the reference should be to Appendix 10 of Annex 1 and so proposes this correction.

This proposal aims to enable the use of thick glass panes for multiple glazed units which, in turn, requires omitting the head-form test in case of these units.

OICA and CLEPA comments on the Korean proposal to amend GTR No. 6 and UN Regulation No. 43 in response to issues identified in its defect investigation concerning panoramic sunroofs.

Proposal for an amendment to UN Regulation No. 43 to define a “reduced vision zone I” for vehicles of categories M and N other than M1. The goal is to extend the concept that already exists for M1 vehicles in order to enable the installation of sensors and cameras that improve driving safety.

The draft 03 series of amendments follows current UN guidelines for regulatory texts (document WP29/1044/Rev.1); however, a new version of the guidelines which uses a different phrasing for transitional provisions will soon be adopted. Therefore, OICA proposes using the new wording in the draft 03 series.

Proposal to introduce fire suppression systems for buses and coaches upon detection of fire in the engine and/or heater compartment, superseding document GRSG/2014/6.

Amended proposal to include odometers within the scope of UN R39, deleting the reference to the “technical constant” and a provision for the installation of a replacement odometer.

Proposal to exclude M1 vehicles from the close-proximity field of vision requirements pursuant to the establishment of the international whole vehicle type approval system.
