Revised approach to resolving the issues raised in Romania’s proposal GRSG/2015/21 to redefine the measurement criteria for determining appropriate seat spacing. This proposal has been developed collaboratively by Romania, OICA, and CCLCR with respect to discussions held by the type approval authorities of the member states of the European Union (TAAM). The proposal includes the use of a new testing gauge for the H dimension measurement.

Proposal to ensure that coupling balls do not block rear lighting and/or registration plates.

Proposal to simplify the communication model of approval under UN Regulation No. 115.

Proposal to align the CNG cylinder requirements in Regulation No. 110 with requirements in ISO 11439: 2013.

Proposed corrections to the original proposal to align UN R105 with ADR 2017.

Working draft prepared by the Informal Working Group on AECS as a discussion document for GRSG.

Proposal to add a telltale and symbols for “Accident Emergency Call System (AECS)”.

Proposal to enable the use of alternate colors (per footnote 18 of Table 1 and in line with ISO Standard 2575) for certain lighting tell-tales in order to indicate light source failures in response to the proposals for light failure indicators under UN Regulations Nos. 7, 48 and 87 (GRE/2016/7, GRE/2016/12 and GRE/2016/17) as adopted by GRE. This proposal anticipates use of the same approach in response to plans for additional failure indication requirements for other lighting regulations.

Presentation of data to supplement discussions on improvements to the driver field of view, especially with respect to indirect vision (rear, blind spot, mirrors, camera systems).

Proposal to specify that “handrails and handholds at doorways where the associated residual space is not designated for passengers positioned for travel, and where intrusion into the space presents no risk of contact with passengers, shall also be ignored.”

Proposal for improvements to the driver rear field-of-view requirements towards reducing pedestrian accidents.

Proposal to insert new safety provisions with regard to LPG systems having hydraulic interconnections with the petrol or diesel fueling system through which inter-flows of fuels may occur.

Proposal to introduce new requirements and test procedures for rear-view systems in order to reduce risks of pedestrian collisions while vehicles move in reverse.

Proposal to clarify paragraph 7.7.5.1. with regard to ceiling-mounted displays or monitors and simplify the testing procedure:

• The gauge shall be used only for the identification of the monitors to be tested.
• The simplified way to apply the removal force corresponds to a passenger pushing the monitor/display with its hand, and in these conditions the acceptable force limit is adapted.
• The test must be conducted in both directions.
• The proposed wording for the last condition to fulfil is more technology neutral, the case of automatic redeployment is also considered and banned.

Presentation on cybersecurity issues and ISO 26262 (functional safety of electronic systems).

Proposal to extend requirements introduced via Supplement 4 to the 04 series of amendments concerning barriers in the gangway and the amount of priority seats to the 05, the 06 and the 07 series of amendments.

Proposal to allow for the use of natural gas refrigeration systems to vehicles propelled by natural gas (CNG or LNG). This proposal addresses a new, environmentally friendly natural gas fuelled refrigeration system for trucks with refrigerated loads that already are propelled by natural gas. Currently paragraph 18.1.7.1 allows heating systems to be fitted on vehicles to heat the passenger compartment and/or the load area of a vehicle, however, the same provision omits cooling systems that are used on trucks for the carriage of loads requiring refrigeration.
