Draft of the proposed amendments to introduce provisions to enable the approval automatic couplings between vehicles within the regulation on vehicle braking.

Draft rationale for the changes proposed to UN Regulation 13 in order to enable the approval of automatic coupling systems.

Proposal from OICA to amend UN R46 in order to permit approvals of new generation “frameless” interior mirrors having no housing or holder. The current language assumes all mirrors are enclosed in housings and therefore excludes approval testing of these new-techology mirrors.

Proposal from the European Liquefied Petroleum Gas Association (AEGPL) to add values for the aerostatic pressure to be reached during the external leakage test of Class 0 components, in line with the provisions of paragraph 5.3.

Proposal from Germany to clarify the nature of approvals granted under UN R67 with respect to Class 1 and Class 2 hoses and their couplings (i.e., as hose assemblies or as hose and coupling pairs approved as separate components).

Proposal from AEGPL to revise the text proposed by Germany (GRSG/2012/18) (to clarify approvals of hoses and couplings) in order to preserve the possibility to type-approve flexible hoses separately and prior to hose assembly approval.

Proposal from CLEPA to introduce type-approval requirements for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) fuel selection systems, including with regard to engine control units (ECU), CNG start-stop functionality, and a prohibition against the flow of gaseous fuel into the petrol/diesel fuel tank and vice versa.

Formal proposal from the European Liaison Committee of the Body and Trailer Building Industry (CLCCR) to ensure the lateral stability of a rearward facing wheelchair by restraint with a rigid device or with a flexible strap anchoring the wheelchair.

Proposal from the European Commission (EC) to provide for a specific area in city buses of Class I that allow a child to remain seated in his/her pram or pushchair. This document supersedes document GRSG/2010/33/Rev.1.

Proposal from the Liquefied Natural Gas Task Force of the Informal Group on Gaseous Fueled Vehicles to introduce provisions for components used in LNG-powered vehicles into UN R110 (currently covering only vehicles powered by compressed natural gas).

Proposal from CLEPA to introduce type-approval provisions for compressed natural gas (CNG) control functionality included in the engine control unit, and for control
functionality which is used in vehicles with start-stop system.

Proposal to clarify the interior materials to be tested by introducing the definition used in the US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 302 (e.g., any material or component which is within 13 mm of the interior compartment air space shall meet the requirements).

Proposal from the International Motorcycle Manufacturers Association (IMMA) to introduce editorial corrections to GTR No. 12 and to align its provisions with the revised Regulation No. 60 (as proposed in document GRSG/2012/20).

The draft report was revised to specify that “12 to 13m” is the standard EBS cable length on the majority of vehicles. The draft report read only “13m”.

Proposal concerning Amendments 1 to 3 of UN R60 and UN GTR No. 12 to delete Annex 3 on special provisions for levers and Annex 4. The latter is replaced by Table 1 of the GTR containing the symbols identifying controls, tell-tales and indicators and definitions are carried over from the GTR.

Proposal from Germany to allow type-approval of multiple-glazed (for example, double insulation) units as an assembly of more than two panes, such as used in caravans and motor homes.

Revised proposal prepared by the Informal Group on Camera-Monitor Systems to permit the replacement of all mirrors by camera-monitor systems, taking into account comments received during the 101st and 102nd GRSG sessions.

Series of amendments resulting from the work of the Informal group on Service Doors, Windows and Emergency Exits (SDWEE) to update and improve UN R107, including passenger entry/exit, driver compartments, passageways, use of signs, and emergency lighting.

GRPE-adopted submission by the informal group on Gaseous Fuelled Vehicles (GFV) to redefine the class of bi-fuel vehicles to permit the simultaneous use of gas and petrol in gas mode in UN Regulation No. 115.

Proposed amendments to the Convention on Road Traffic (1968 Vienna Convention) in order to eliminate inconsistencies between the Convention and the vehicle regulations established by WP.29, especially with regard to driver-assist systems and the concept of driver responsibility for vehicle behavior.

Working draft as of 3 August 2012 of the proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 43 in order to introduce provisions for plastic glazing.
