Proposal to:

1. clarify that the application of an AECD approval to other vehicle categories than M₁ and N₁ is not mandatory,
2. align the power supply requirement of Part III, para. 34.1 with the corresponding requirement in Part II, para. 25.1.
3. clarify with regard to para. 34.1 that if the vehicle is equipped with both
   • -a “back-power supply” as listed in para. 35.10.1 and
   • -a “Power supply other than back-up power supply mentioned in paragraph 35.10.1” as listed in para. 35.10.2
   both should be tested according to Annex 9. The “Power supply other than back-up power supply mentioned in paragraph 35.10.1” should indeed only be tested if it is the only power supply for the AECS.
4. include two-year transitional provisions
5. remove the exclusion of M₁ and N₁ not equipped with a side airbag and to specify that the AECS shall be able to output the navigation solution in an NMEA-0183 protocol format (RMC, GGA, VTG, GSA and GSV message), among other clarifications.

Proposal from the VRU Proximity Awareness informal group to

1. clarify test procedures allowing non-random selection of parameter combinations and
2. provide for protrusion requirements for Blind Spot Information Systems (BSIS) external elements.

Proposal to introduce provisions for activation of a “temporary modified view” (such as change in image magnification or resolution) per ISO 16505:2015 to complement the static Class II field of vision using a Camera Monitoring System (CMS).

Proposal to enable the use of small indicative lines to assist the driver in discriminating among two or more fields of vision rendered as a combined continuous image on a display.

Proposal based on the outcomes of discussions by the GRSG task force on gas-fuelled vehicle regulations to clarify provisions for periodic testing and periodic requalification of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) cylinders and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) tanks.

Proposal to introduce changes/additions in the Change of Design Table to better specify appropriate test requirements for CNG cylinders with composite materials and, in some cases, to harmonize with International Standard Organisation (ISO) standard 11439.

Proposal to add a missing footnote concerning the exemptions for heaters located outside the passenger compartment using water as a transfer medium and to clarify that it is not necessary to apply Annex 4 for the heat pump because the heat transfer fluid does not contain polluting air.

Proposal to introduce a generic drawing to improve interpretation of the regulation, especially with regard to contactable parts (sphere protocol). The proposal aims to clarify how to deal with potentially “exempted” parts and which requirements apply to which part of the windscreen wiper. Given the implications for approvals, the proposal is presented as a new series of amendments with transitional provisions starting 24 months after entry into force.

Proposal to enable the approval of the laminated-glass panes with improved mechanical properties.

For escape hatches on buses of Classes A and B, proposal to allow a maximum length of 1600 mm equally spaced to cover the shortest vehicles, so the allowed space should be the maximum of either the third of the length or 1600 mm. This proposal will not affect the positioning requirements for any mid-sized and larger buses.

Proposal to clarify the measurement method of the lateral distance between the left-most pedal and the nearest “wall”. During the October 2019 GRSG session, OICA asked that the working party request WP.29 to withdraw this proposal to allow for further consideration.

Proposal to delete the reference to abrasion requirements in Annex 3, paragraph 6.4.1.3. since abrasion resistance is not relevant in the assessment of resistance to weathering.

Proposal to improve the communication document. The current wording of item 2 in Annex 1 is redundant with item 3 and not aligned with similar texts (UN R58 or R73). The key point of item 2 is to identify the type of device or component approved.

Proposal to clarify category G (off-road vehicles) ground clearance requirements, clarify the table of Annex 7 (requirements for different vehicle categories) with regard to requirements for M₁G, N₁G,M₂G, N₂G, M₃G and N₃G, and to clarify provisions on the installation of RUPD.

Proposal to insert new provisions on the location on the vehicle of the filling unit, marking of the LPG container date of production, and a limitation on the maximum service life of LPG containers to 15 years.

Proposal to improve the specifications for LPG multi-valves in order to reduce the risks of blockage of the PRV/PRD due to deterioration of the hose connecting the PRV/PRD of the multi-valve to the gaseous phase.

Proposal to lower the minimum mass requirement for an articulated vehicle of Class I having four or more axles of which two are steering axles.

Proposal to lower the minimum mass requirement for an articulated vehicle of Class I having four or more axles of which two are steering axles.

Proposal to lower the minimum mass requirement for an articulated vehicle of Class I having four or more axles of which two are steering axles.

Proposal to clarify that anti-theft-related vehicle components such as keys are not subject to the environmental tests (section 6.4.) of UN R116 which were established for components embedded in the vehicle.
