Proposal for minimum amendments to GTR No. 6 pending conclusion of NHTSA research and for further amendment concerning ceramic printer areas and sunroof safety testing.

Examples gathered by KATRI showing reductions in the ceramic printing area of sunroofs on individual vehicle models between 2015 and 2017.

Proposal as amended following GRSG discussions to clarify the camera monitor provisions with regard to the use of image overlays. The current English text can be interpreted to allow overlays only when the vehicle is moving in reverse. In particular, this resulted in an unambiguous translation into French allowing overlays only when the vehicle is in reverse gear. The original intent was to limit overlays to rear views of the vehicle regardless of the moving vehicle direction. Therefore, this proposal clarifies the English and French texts.

Updated proposal to correct the omission of Class VII devices from the communication form described under Annex 3 of the regulation.

Revised proposal to introduce requirements for color contrast for signage and provisions for passengers with limited mobility. Based upon the new general guidelines developed for Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement, the new requirements would transition into application from September 2020 for new types of vehicles and September 2022 for all existing types.

Explanatory information, revised for discussion during the 113th GRSG session, from the AECS informal group regarding the provisions in document GRSG/2016/19 for the new UN Regulation on automatic emergency call systems.

Proposal to require marking of extension numbers on accessories relevant to the UN R67 bonfire test (e.g., multivalve, pressure relief valve, pressure relief device) in order to prevent/prohibit the misuse (in container configurations) of these accessories. The proposal includes provisions for components where such marking is impractical based upon text drawn from UN R46.

Proposal to harmonize the requirements for CNG/LNG vehicles under UN R110 with those of the international standard ISO 11439:2013.

Proposal to delete footnote ¹⁸ of Table 1 regarding telltale no. 1 (Master lighting switch) when it is combined with telltale no. 19 (Position, side marker, and/or end-outline marker lamps). The footnote is redundant and potentially confusing since UN R121 already refers to paragraph 5. of ISO 2575-2004 which states, “A given symbol may be shown in more than one of the colours specified in 5.1 in order to convey a change in the operating condition.”

Proposal as approved by GRSG to introduce requirements for color contrast for signage and provisions for passengers with limited mobility. Based upon the new general guidelines developed for Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement, the new requirements would transition into application from September 2020 for new types of vehicles and September 2022 for all existing types.

Proposal to harmonize the requirements for CNG/LNG vehicles under UN R110 with those of the international standard ISO 11439:2013.

Proposal to insert Footnote 18 for Tell-tale 1 (Master lighting switch) stating, “Symbol may be shown in other colours than specified in column 5 in order to convey different meanings according to the general colour coding as proposed in paragraph 5. of ISO 2575-2004.”

Presentation on awareness of vulnerable road users proximity.

Proposal to establish requirements for sonar systems based upon ISO 17386 (Maneuvering Aids for Low Speed Operation-MALSO).

Correction to document GRSG/2017/25 (Proposal for a new UN Regulation on uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicle alarm systems and approval of a vehicle with regard to its vehicle alarm system) submitted by the GRSG secretariat.

Formal proposal from the ACDC informal group for consideration by GRRF for a new Regulation on uniform provisions concerning the approval of mechanical coupling components of combinations of agricultural vehicles.

Research has shown that dynamic testing under Appendix 1 is more demanding than the static testing under Appendix 5. As a result, approvals based upon static testing are not equivalent to approvals based on dynamic testing. This proposal, therefore, would delete Appendix 5. In addition, this proposal amends Appendix 1 by reducing the forward movement of the head of the manikin to 1.2 m in alignment with UN Regulation No. 14. Further, the proposal would limit the movement of the seat anchorages to 100 mm to ensure a minimum residual space for the passenger between the seats. Lastly, to ensure that seat fixations are reliably fastened after relocation, the proposal would require the necessary information to be marked directly on the seat and provided in the owner’s manual.
